FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1897.
BAST Huron Liberate will meet in Con-
vention in the Town Hall, Brussels, on
Friday of next week, at 1 p, in., to aortal.
nate a candidate for the Looal Legislature
et the next election as the veteran T.
Gibson, M.P.P., has deoided to retire
after a tenure of office covering 24 years,
A large representation is expected, The
municipalities included in the riding are
Howiole, Wroxeter, Turnberry, Grey,
Morrie, Brussels, tltoliillop and part of
Hullett. Five delegates may be sent
from each sub -division.
A Braroun is current that M. 0. Cam•
eron, M.P., for West Huron, ie to be ap-
pointed Lieut. -Governor of the North
West Territory. In case of this proving
true the West Riding would necessarily
open for a new House of Commons repre-
sentative and Mayor Holmes' name of
Clinton, is mentioned as e, likely candi-
date to summed the West Huron war
horse. Mayor Holmes is well acquainted
in the Riding ; ie popular and possessed
of the other necessary qualifioatious for
M. P. honors, The Conservatives have
nominated Capt. Beak, of Colborne, for
the Ontario Legislature.
SUNHAT street cars will run in Toronto.
Last Saturday a vote of the oitizens of
that city was taken and over 31,000 bal-
lots oast. The majority was 321 in its
favor. If the pre.election forecast of the
Sunday car advocates comes true all the
churches will now be crowded ; the ceme-
teries will be visited by hundreds of
those having their dead interred there ;
every citizen will get to the outskirts and
breathe pure air ; and the city will be al-
most over -run with tourists and travellers
who have beeu giving Toronto the go-by
on account of no Sunday oars. We pre.
dict that 1897 will fade away before
these are realized. Why not license the
running of drays, express vans, can., now
as they might turn many a quarter on a
Sabbath afternoon or get over a rush by
utilizing an hour or two on the day of
rest. The moral tone of Toronto will not
be improved by Sunday car traffic+ and
all that's lacking now is to get a good
base ball team and open a Sunday nem.
paign in ono of the parks.
THE Broughtou Grey drain decision
has stirred up quite a hit of discussion
and it is not improbable that the result of
this long dragged out and expensive case
may lead to numb needed legislation in
blocking the progress of appeals when
once decided by a competent Court.
There was no question of any cense.
gneucs involved in this suit, yet Grey
township is assessed for heavy costs in a
matter that never should have gone past
the fust trial. The Stratford Beacon
makes the following comments upon the
somewhat celebrated Broughtou drainage
case :-"The history of the case of
Broughton vs. the townships of Grey
and Elmo affords a startling illustration
of the uncertainty of the law. Three
courts in Ontario dismissed this action,
and now the Supreme Court, by a unani-
mous decision, uphold the plaintiff's con-
tention and awards him full costs. It
has been a very expensive piece of litiga•
tion, and the main expense has been
caused by the appeals of the various
courts. We are not prepared to express•
our opinion as to the merits of this case
or say which set of judges were wrong,
hut we do not see why a proper decision
of au issue of this laud could not be
reached without going before so many
courts. There is something radically
wrong with our whole courts' procedure,
Instead of the Legislature and Partin,
mint making a lot of new laws every
session they would be better employed in
repealing about half the laws now on our
statute honks and passing a law which
would reduce the number of courts to'
something within the bounds of reason."
LAST week Good Roads movement re-
ceived a good start in this locality by the
visit of A. W. Campbell, Government
Instructor, who does not theorise but
practically sets forth the solution of the
problem of having the highways improved
without increasing the expenditure, Mr.
Campbell believes in every municipality
having a well defined plan oenaer0ing
road malting and keeping and having the
road work done in line with this plan by
the various pathmaeters so that there will
be uniformity throughout a municipality,
He advocates enlarging the road hecto so
as to permit of concentration of labor on
certain sections requiring it and doing
all work with the idea of permanency,
even if the amount of work done 19 not as
largo as when the elip'shod rule is follow-
ed. Drainage ; narrowing the road bed;
the proper crowning of the roadway and
the use of mean gravel or broken stone,
are important pointe emphasized by Mr.
Campbell. For a number of years this
gentleman was engaged in the construe
tion of roads and streets and appears to
be well posted on the many little ins and
ni t7 17' r

outs that every Counoil or pathmaster
would profit by observing, Any informa-
tion at fur, Campbell's disposal will be
cheerfully furnished by writing him at
the Parliament Buildings, Toronto, or if
asked world come and direct the making
of a piece of road as sample of the pian
advocated by him. By every munieipal.
ity moving up a little each year in this
particular work the had pieces of road
would very shortly disappear. We ex -
peat Mr. Campbell's visit to be productive
of good.

Prof. Hawkins' oonoert in the wheel
house S. S. No. 0 last Monday evening
was a very pleasant affair, Au excellent
and highly enjoyable program was
rendered. Miss Rae and Messrs. Rae and
MulRee rendered Mr. Hawkins valuable
assistance.
A drive through the township is ample
evidence of the prosperoae condition of
its thrifty residents. Good reeidenoes,
large hank barna, first rate roads and well
tilled farms are in evidence on all aides.
Few townships, if any, in Huron super-
sede McKillop, comparing, of course,
their time of settlement.
Canadian boys take no seoond place
the world over and the sons of Huron
pioneers are making their influence felt
wherever they go. In this oonneotion
we are pleased to state that Dr. Murray,
son of Thos. Murray, an old and highly
esteemed resident of con, 11, who want
to Alabama some seven years ago, was
elected Mayor of Decatur, Alabama, the
other day by a good majority. The Dr.
graduated at MoGill College, Montreal,
and his old friends in this locality will
wish him much enema in Ailing the civic
°hair. We expect to hear of Dr. Murray
going into the Legislature and on to Con-
gress.
FATAL Acoxanar.-An accident which
terminated fatally occurred Saturday
evening oar the farm of James Haye,
ex -reeve of the township of MoRillop.
Mrs. Hays, in attempting to drive one
of the young cattle down the lane was
struck by the animal in passing, knook-
ing her insensible to the ground, and
without regaining consciousness she died
five hours after the accident. Deceased
was an old resident, and was the mother
of ten ohildree. Her maiden name was
Alexander. The funeral on Tuesday
Afternoon, woe largely attended, over 100
conveyances being counted in the proces-
sion to Maitland cemetery, near Seaforth,
Rev. Mr. Musgrove oonduoterl an appro-
priate service. Mrs. Hays was GG years
of age and enjoyed the esteem of a very
large circle of friends for her many good
qualities. Concussion of the brain was
the cause of death. Mr. Hays and
family are deeply sympathized with iu
their sudden bereavement.
Official returns of the Sunday oar vote
in Toronto reduce the majority for Sun•
day cars to 321 owing to errors of deputy
returning officers.
Mr. Beloourt of Ottawa hoe drawn the
attention of the Government to the neces-
sity for the erection of a national museum
to preserve the very fine collection of
specimens of various kinds now indiffer-
ently stored away at Ottawa.
