THURSDAY, .DEC. 98, 1899.
Wasx Bunn will be open for a bye
election in the near future unless Hon. J.
T. Garrow appeals hie case which it is
said he will do.
How. Taos. GRane wax will hand over
the reins of Government in the Province
of Manitoba on the lath of January to
Lieut,.Governor Patterson who will
transfer the job of forming a new ministry
to Hugh John McDonald. Mr. Green-
way has been in office for the poet 12
years and has proven himself to be an
able adminietrator of poblio affairs. All
the members of the new Cabinet in seek•
ing re-election will bebotly contested it
is said.
Tme is the season of the year for form•
ing good resolutions, swearing off, 3o.
How would it be if everybody in the
Dominion of Canada would set out on a
debt paying, Golden rule praotisieg,
church going program ? what would be
the result if every parent woke up to the
moral, intelleotnal and religioue better-
ment of their ohildren ? 1000, the closing
year of the old century, ebonld and no
doubt will be oharaaterized by many ad-
vanoe-steps but the carrying out of these
will largely devolve upon the home. If
every one of us would settle upon the
new ground we intend to cultivate and
then go to work faithfully at it tbie old
world oonld be brightened up a great dead
in the 305 days that will ensue before the
dawn of the new century. n y The bugle
note is eounding for the advance 1 Let
us be true soldiers.

ener are on their way to Africa and
additional troops are being hurried to the
scene of action. Ladysmith, Kimberly
and Mateking hold oat in the same style
as that of tbe past months. The Boers
are very strongly entrenched at Coleneo
and the Modder river and will not be
easily moved from their well fortified
positions. Big battles are expected
shortly at both these points. It is mom
oured that Britain will put a stop to
supplies going into the Transvaal via
Delagoa Bay. Gen. White keeps up his
attacks on the besiegers at Ladysmith
although fever is reported prevalent
amongst the besieged. The fitting out of
new oontingente goes on apace and the
biggest army in Britain's history will be
marshalled in Africa and ultimately
march into Pretoria, the Transvaal capi.

Therm has been quite an awakening i0
Brueeele and locality along Temperance
lines during the past few weeks and a
goodly number of young people have
pledged themselves to abstain from indnl•
genoe in strong drink. But there is
room for a stronger push than has yet
been made as not a few instances are on
record of youths yielding to temptation.
If boys pees their 21st birthday without
an acquaintanoe with either liquor or
tobaaoo the chances are they will never
be a slave to either and this should be the
aim of every parent to aid in seeing that
their children are guarded until they
attain their majority. The law relative
to minors being given iutoxioatiug drink
is clear and should be rigorously enforced
and every father should make himself a
oommittee of one to see that his sons are
not entrapped. No more effective way
can be adopted than by the foroe of
example. "Do as I do" is a much better
fruit bearer than "Do ae I say." We
understand a liet of names of young men,
under 21 years, who frequent hotels, le
under preparation with the intention of
enforoiog a olaaee in the Aat relative to
loitering about the bar or rooms of ahotel
and the penalty falls on both the'frequen.
tors and the proprietors. Prohibition
need nob be looked for until the machinery
on the Statute book ie put into throe.
Many of these prohibitory notions were
urgently pressed on Parliament by tem-
perance people and are then allowed to
lie like a dead letter instead of being put
to practical use.
North Grey Conservatives have nomin-
ated Charles Gordon, Warden of the
county, for the Commons, and G. M,

The jury brought in a verdict of not

The grand jury made the following
presentment
PaEaaNT]EEN'r 01' GRAND JURY.
To His Honor Judge Mnsson :—
The grand jurors of our Sovereign
Lady the Queen on their oath preeens,
that in the performance of their duty
they inspected the county gaol and found
that the courteous gaoler, Mr. Griffin,
has to all appearances faithfully dis-
charged his duty in keeping the gaol Olean
and in oaring for those committed to his
charge. We found inoaroerated in the
gaol at present thirteen prisonere in all,
no lees than ten of them being commit•
ted for vagrancy, two for larceny, and
one insane person awaiting the taking of
the neaeesary steps for her removal to
the asylum.
The county goal was constructed in
the early forties, and consequently is now
more or lees antiquated, and its appoint-
ments and etruataral arrangements have
not kept pare with the progress around
ne, and by way of contrast we may be
permitted to mention the house of indue•
try at Clinton, tbe architectural design
and modern oonetrootion of which refieot
almost as mach credit on the people of
this county as the humanity of its con
caption. Io this connection we respect.
folly sugeostthat the proper anthoritiee
should at the earliest convenience erect a
residence for the governor of the gaol
suitable to his position, and keeping all
sanitary arrangements in view.
In the disabuse of another duty we
visited the bongo of industry at Clinton,
and we are pained to say that we did eo
at oar own expense, ne the large, prosper•
ous and wealthy 001150y of Huron has
made no arrangements for defraying these
expenses. We treat this regrettable ad•
mission will not have to be made by
another grand jury, as we hope the
proper authoritiea will at onoe do their
duty in this reaped and time save a time-
honored institution from nuking earth a
humiliating statement.
We were pleased to find this inetit0tion
apparently under excellent management,

treatment and many oomtorte. Mr. and
