I2 is proposed in the redistribution of
Huron County to make the East Riding
conform with the Local Legislature
boundaries with the addition of Wing -
ham. This would give this riding How.
iok, Wroxeter, Tnrnberry, Wingham,
Morrie, Grey, Brussels, Hallett and 11:lo-
Killop, representing a population of about
22,000. West Huron would include
Goderioh, Goderioh township, Colborne,
Clinton, Ashfield, West Wawanosh, East
Wawanoeb and Blyth, with a population
of about 19,0001 and South Huron, Step-
hen, Exeter, Uaborne, Tuokeremith, Sea,
forth, Stanley and Bayfield, containing a
population of about 20,000. This would
fairly well equalize the population ;
would not out up any municipalities or
interfere with County boundaries ; nor
would there be abnormal majorities ow-
ing to doing away with the iniquitous
"hive" system.
Tam election oourte have voided the
election of Hon. John Dryden, Minister
of Agriculture, in South Ontario through
bribery by agents. One witness swore
that he received money from both politi.
cal parties. Mf. Dryden is probably an
innooent man in the matter yet he Buffers
by the foolish wrongdoing of his own
zealous supporters. At all these elec-
tions there is a gang of oonoeesion
trempers for both candidates whose Pres.
ence bodes no good. They are not
epeakere, nor yet canvassers in the
general acceptation of the term and the
sooner both politioal parties shunt them
the better for public morale and purity of
eleotion contests. We rather delight in a
red bot campaign but it should be
straight and above board. The man who
accepts a bribe, as well as the man who
offers it, should be disfranchised for a
good long term of years as the straddlers
are the fellows for whom the bait is laid,
If the Liberal party expects to hold
power they will have to put a full stop to
each crookedness.
UNDER date of May 17th, John Fox, of
Fox & Co„ grain merchants, Luoan,
writes as follows relative to the trans-
portation of grain from the local store•
houses and elevators to the sea board, en-
dorsing a letter written on the transport.
ation problem by Jas. Pringle, er., of
Stratford :—
"As looal grain dealers we fully en.
dorse Mr. Pringle's very able and busi-
ness like letter ; it should oommend iteelf
to the grain shippers of this Dominion,
and also the farmers, who are the foun.
tain from whioh every industry springs.
We would appeal to the farmers and busi-
ness men in every oonetitnenoy to peti-
tion their looal members to bring this
matter before Parliament and see that
producers and shippers of farm produce
get simple jnetioe in the matter of
freight rates, in order to compete in the
world's markets with our American
neighbors across the border. There is
one point in Mr. Pringle's letter that I
em sure will oommend iteelf to all grain
shippers, viz., that portion which refer-
red to the reoent change in the shipment
of grain which forces looal dealers to
guarantee return or accept sea board
weights. From a local shipper's stand.
point I think it abenrd that !the local
buyers and shippers have no redress, but
are compelled to pay all shortages at
destination, no matter bow oorreotly
loaded or how recklessly unloaded. A
oar may spring a leak daring transport-
ation, or in fact become almost entirely
dieabled ; grain may be stolen, or a
multitude of other oaueee may oontribute
to 'the depletion of the consignment, and
the local shipper ie compelled to pay the
bill. 'Who should Buffer this loos ? Ie it
the shippers ? or should it come from
the pbokete of the farmers ? I have no
hesitation in eaying on a000unt of the
keen competition and close margins looal
buyers oannot afford to pay for those
shortages, and all will agree that farm.

er, and we were anxious to give the sea
board weights a fair teat. Although we
had every oonfidenoe in the man in
charge of the loading department, 10
order to make euro, doubly sure, we se-
cured an aesidtant for the occasion. We
gave both men separate hooka in which
to enter weights, and although each
record was sworn to, the return as re-
ported, palled for ooneiderable shortage.

to know the amount in oars at destin-

thie very uneatiofaotory state of affairs
