CAPTAIN SuL14vAe, who has figured in
several election protests, should be put

elections without bis "aid" they should

MIs. McNreu, M. P. P., for West Elgin,
whose elention was protested and the trial
arranged for last Monday, changed the
aepeot of affairs by resigning. A n ow
election will be held shortly and Mr. Mo.
Nish will probably beelected by asolame

Tim 0. P. R. will not allow the grass

Line. Last Sunday they started a fast
throngh train nailed the "Imperial
Limited," whose route is from Montreal
to Vancouver, covering a distance of 2,
900 miles in 100 home. This ie hustling
along at a lively rate and rather obliter-
ates distances when about four days takes
yon from the great St. Lawrence to the
Paoifio coast.
EVERY year adds to the excursion bassi•
Dees and the Summer resorts reap a nor•
responding benefit. A holiday is ell
right but we imagine if lees railroad
travel and more rent were on the program
the recuperation sought after would be
secured by a shorter route. Change of
air and mane relieves the bum -drum
monotony of life and tendo to longevity,
to say nothing of the enjoyment derived
from the outing.
OLD Mo. Kassaze, of the Transvaal, has
been stirring op a hornet's neat for him-
self, and unless he quits right off Great
Britain will nee very decided measures to
make him atop. The old gentleman has
been nook of the walk so long that he
seems to have an idea that he has a
cinch on everything in eight. Some
people don't know when they are well
off and the rude awakening they often
receive is quite jarring on their nerves.
Aaron several weeks of tossing about
the G. T. R. traokmen'e strike has been
settled through the interposition of Prem-
ier Laurier and Jas. Sutherland, M. P.
and the men resumed work on Monday.
The arrangement arrived at is that all
or the etrikere shall return to work, and
that within 30 days Mr. Hays will dis-
cuse the whole question with a oommit-
tee of five men representing the treoltmeu.
None of the strikers are to be refused
employment unless he has been guilty of
aote of violence or having need menacing
laoguage towards the new men and the
foremen and others who refused to go
out.
Trio estimated expenditure for Huron
Co, for this year is $39,280.90 and the
estimated receipts 93,903.77. In 1808
the Co. rate was 11/10 mills on the
dollar and thle year it will be 1e, 9400
higher. Another question of interest, al.
ways up at the June session of the Co,
Connell, ie that of Equalization. After a
fall and free discussion of the eubject the
baeie of the former year was adopted.
Several of the brethren in the Southerly

as to beoome thoroughly acquainted with
all the munioipalitiea was talked over but
not deemed the pahaoea sought for in the
matter of equalization although it would
no doubt be an aid, as members are
often asked to vote in conneotiou with
thio question on oases where they have
comparatively little personal knowledge.
If every mnnioipal Ooanoil went
