McGilliontldy, The present proprietor purcbeeed it on August 1st, 1880, and with thfe issue 00mmonoaa its 28th volume, Wo can say eonndeutly that never in ire 111atory had it nearry so many readers nor wan it more generously supported, Our aha has been to publish a clean, newsy paper ; to uphold what we ooneidered right and in the best interests of the community ; and to condemn that we felt was detrimental or baneful. Everybody has nob always been pleased at the way we managed Tnn POST but we can't help that, es welollow our own pro. gram and allow no one to take the rains out of our bands. We may havelmade blunders bat our object has been to elevate and help rather than destroy or sow die. seusion. Our best thanks go oat to the business public who Have accorded us their patronage for so many years. We have endeavored to give them good value for every dollar invested and ask a cod. tinuuuce of their good will, beim able to promise them a wider field for their advertising than at any other time to the past. To the regular correspondent we owe moot/ of our su0oese and are very gratefol for their kindness and marked ability displayed. If Toe Posr snits you as a local newspaper you can do us a good tarn by a word of recommendation to your neighbor or friend. We want to reach the 2,000 mark thie DomingFall F 1 and by a friendly "lift" our readers can do a great deal to aocomplieh it. The bigger our list the better the paper we can pnb- lieh so all share io our prosperity. Tan Hessians mast surely be a practi- cal people as their Diet has put up a job on the old baohelore by passing a law taxing them 25ee more than married men. This may be considered nufair by those enjoying "single blessedness" bat there is an easy way out of it, viz., to "com- mit" matrimony. It might have a wholesome effeot if this law were enacted in Canada but whether the 25% would be considered too high we are not prepared t0 say. NEL-o0 14:lONTEITH retains his twat AS 141. P. P., for South Perth, the Court de- ciding that there was not sufficient evi- dence to unseat him. The complainants pay the costa. The West Huron case is not settled yet. When it came before Justice Osler and Rose at Oegoode Hall on Friday, oounsel for Beck, the petition. er against Hon. Mr. Garrote's erection, claimed that he had made effcrte to seoure attendance of L inklater, the missing witness, bat without suoeess. Counsel for Mr, Garrow urged that the ease go os, but it was postponed until Sept. 5. So31E sad stories are told of the suffer- ings and discomforts of many of the American soldiers in the Philippines. Wet weather, short allowanoe, sickness, and an aver present enemy make a cone. bioation very difficult to meet. It is no longer a matter of doubt with many that the U. S. would have been infinitely better off if they had sold out their interest after Admiral Dawey'e signal victory as years may intervene before the treacherous Filipinos will consent to be law abiding citizens cinder the stars and stripes. The dawning of the day of arbi- tration as the solution of all national dis- putes will be a joyful one to the Christian world. WEST ELGIN political crookedness is a nosegay that one whiff will more than satisfy ordinary mortals. Every man who bad to do with the rascality practiced should be made to toe the line whether he is a big toad or a little one. Hoo. Mr. Hardy and the Ontario Cabinet should probe the diseased place to the bottom and remove every vestige of the contaminating influence. There was no neeoesity for any such work as was per. mitted in that oonetituency and if enoh things are allowed to go unpunished a great wrong will be done to the country, p0101enlary the youug men of out land. Both parties desire to win in a; contest but if the viotory only comae by the de. basing influences of bribery and corrup. tion and the sacrifioe of every manly principle then defeat es better than vic- tory. The Liberal press is not slow, OE a rale, to oondemn the practice of unlawful means is election oonteete and in the West Elgin Daae our brethren of the Conservative faith have devoted ooneider. able apace to the exposures. If the lat- ter would follow the same bourse Wbeu the shoe is on the other foot they would desetve more credit, but ample evidence could be produced that snob hae not beet the case and golden opportunitiee of reading homilies on purity and prinoiple have been allowed to pass by unimproe. ed. There is euob a thing as magnifying n mole hill into a mountain for political Mtrpoeee.but our idea le that the law breaker and the man who attempts to debanoh the oleators of any oonetituency should be summarily dealt with m that those who might be inclined to a similar (Morse woald be detetrad from the par. snit of what meet necessarily end in ,ustlug enauhocii in the deet.
