FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1899,
EVE= some of the dear old gentlemen
who warm seats in the Senate Chamber
are oominground to the that there is
urgent need of a remodelling of this
' staid body, and some of the members at
least approve of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's
proposal to improve it. One of the best
ways to do this would be to wipe it out
altogether.
Tam writ for a new election in North
Waterloo to dil the vaoanoy in the Legis.
lature caused by the unseating of Dr.
Lackner bee been issued. The date of
polling is the 23rd inst., and nomination
was held on Wednesday. A registration
of manhood sufferage voters has taken
plane at Berlin. The Reform candidate
is Mr. Brienthampt, and the Conservative
candidate, Dr. Lackner. Both are resi-
dents of Berlin.
Ona Most Gracious Sovereign Queen
Victoria, will celebrate her 80th birthday
on Wednesday of next week and mil.
lions of her loyal subjects girdling this
old world will swell the mighty chorus
of loyalty,
"God save our graoioue Queen,
Long may Victoria reign."
No nation was ever better rated and no
sovereign ever exerted the inilnenoc on
thio broad planet that Britain's Queen
wields today. One of the best ways to
inorease the lustre of the British nation
is for every subject to make an earnest
effort topresent an unblemished character
to the world. May good old Queen Vie,
be spared for a good many years yet.
Tun usefulness of the Farmers' Insti-
tute is likely to be extended by a broad-
ening of the lines laid down by the On-
tario Government, whereby branches will
be established for ladies. There are
numerous questions that crop up of great
interest t0 the gentler sex that world af-
ford an excellent range for an interesting
program, such as the making of butter,
marketing, packing, Lac. ; the vegetable
garden ; the flower bed ; dower culture
in the home, and many other topics that
the ladies could discuss with profit. For
various reasons the Farmers' Institutes,
except the evening meetings, are looked
upon ae for men only, and the proposal to
give the farmers' wives and daughters a
similar chance should meet with favor
both in and out of the Local Legislature.
We notice in a press dispatch that two
young seamen who attempted to desert
from a British man of war at Halifax,
were birched until their backs were badly
scored and bleeding in many places. If
the report is true, we don't hesitate to
state that it is a most unmanly way of
punishing offenders and not calculated
to instil courage or loyalty into any
British soldier. That style may do very
well in the committal of some heinous
crime, but is most degrading in its ten.
deny, and to oarry it to the extreme
sometimes reported is as brutal as it is
humiliating. The cab•and-nine•tails
should be relegated to the days of the
thumb screw and rack. Let a gleam of
the 206h century civilization shine into
some of these old and barbarous things
that will promote a healthy moral ten-
denoy and thereby elevate the dignity of
manhood.
Wrra a generosity (7) born of a big
Irish heart Bro. D. MaGillionddy, of the
Goderioh Signal, gives place to the fol.
lowing in Iaet week's issue :—"There
have been many suggestions regarding
the redistributing of Huron county, and
amongst them it has been suggested that
the Legislative boundaries for the three
ridings should be adopted, but The Signal
, is of opinion that the adoption of the old
North, Centre and South ridings, with
some slight amendments, would be in the
right direction. The proposed North
Riding would comprise the townships of
Ashfield, East and West Wawanosb,
Morrie, Turnberry and Howiok, with
Wingbam, Brussels, Wroxeter and Blyth,
making an approximate population of
21,000. Centre Huron would embrace
the townships of Colborne, Hullet, Gode.
riob, Grey and MoHillop, and the towns
of Goderich and Huron, with a papule -
tion of 20,000, South Huron would then
contain the townships of Tuckersmith,
Stanley, Hay, Usborne and Stephen,
with the town of Seaforth and the vii.
lages of Exeter, Hensall and Bayfield,
with an aggregate population of 20,250.
The division here outlined would have
the merit of maintaining intact the
county boundaries is accordance with
the Reform contention, and the Tory
objection to dividing Goderiab Townebip
and Millet would be removed. The
population would be fairly represented
in each conetituencsy, and the ridings
would be compact and easily aocessible at
election times.

with bis parents and other membore of
his family in 1841, he then being only
eight years of age. His father settled on
the Huron Road, McKillop, on the farm
now occapiedlby Peter O'Sullivan. For
many years in bis early life he was a
school teaober, and for several years clerk
for three townships, and when MoKillop
was organized as a separate municipality
he was appoiutedits first clerk, a position
which he continued to fill until a few
years ago, when he was succeeded by the
preeent olerk. He was a painstaking and
competent offioial and was well versed in
municipal law. He was a great reader
and was possessed of more than ordinary
intelligence and shrewdness and was
quite a controversialist. He dearly loved
an argument on any question and could
generally hold bis own with those with
whom he came in contaot. He was pos-
sessed of the warm hearted, generous die.

respect aimed to live an honorable, oou-
aietent and useful life. For many years
be had been engaged in farming, and of
