FRIDAY, SEE. 7, 1894.
Tim Roman Catholic sohoole will be
maintained in Winnipeg by private sub-
scription. 'Upwards of .6900 has already
been collected but the inclinations aro that
the Public Wheel system will eventually

Tim indications are that 'thewheat crop
in Manitoba and the West will average 15
or 20 bushels to the acre and the new
crop, which is without a touch of frost
this year, is being hurried to Port Arthur
for transportation by steamer. As to the
market, very little can be said on the
probability of arise ihr price. In this re-
spect the Westerners are even bettor off
than the Ontario farmer when the were -
age is taken into account, 50 cents a
bushel for good wheat in this country is
a figure not likely to pause much jubila•
tion in the heart of the Canadian agricul•
turist, All the tinkering with the tariff
has done very little to fatten the pocket-
book of the farmer or laborer.
A amun8 G of the Reform Association
of South Huron took place in Brucefield
on Wednesday for the purpose of choos-
ing a candidate to represent the Liberal
interest in the next Dominion election.
The different municipalities of the rid-
ing were well represented by delegates.
After routine business was disposed of
the Convention proceeded to the sale°•
tion of a candidate. The vote was taken
by ballot, and resulted as follows :—Jno.
McMillan, M. P., 48 ; M. C. Cameron,
26 ; Thos. Fraser, 11. Mr. McMillan
having received a majority of the whole
vote, his nomination was made unani-
mous. Mr. McMillan returned thanks
and the usual resolutions of confidence
were passed.
June= by appearances the embargo
on Canadian cattle going into the British
market is not likely to be removed in the
near future. Tho latest addition to the
unenviable reputation for disease attach-
ed to our beef animals exported comes the
intelligence that tuberculosis has made
almost a complete sweep among the cat-
tle in British Columbia. Upwards of 160
cows have been shot and the worst fea-
ture, to the owner, is that he has to stand
the whole loss in this destruction to stay
the ravages of the disease. If Canadian
cattle are really effected it would be much
better to acknowledge the corn and stamp
out the matter complained of rather than
deny the charge and have our shipments
sacrificed when they reach the Old Coun-
try markets.
Tux Northwest Assembly is just now
considering a bill providing for the use of
the ballot in elections to that body. Such
legislation comes as a sequence to the ad-
option of the ballot for federal elections in
the Territories, a provision for that pur-
pose being made in the amendment to
the Northwest Act passed at the late
session. But itis proposed that voting
by ballot for members of the Northwest
Assembly, shall be done in a vastly differ-
ent manner from its practice elsewhere.
Each candidate is to be givens distinctive
color and pencils of corresponding colors
are to be placed in the polling booths.
Ballot papers will have no names, or
printing of any kind thereon, All the
voter has to do is to mark an X on the
ballot paper with the pencil of the same
color as is assigned to the candidate for
whom he wishes to vote. This, at first
thought, appears to be a very simple
method of voting, but whether it will
commend itself to a majority, of the as-
sembly, or if adopted, prove as simple as
it looks, remains to be seen.
