Loma Annnounn and his lady are making a tour throogh Manitoba and the Northwest. This is not the Governor General's first trip West as he is a land owner there but on this one he stands in a new relation to the people and both he and his noble wife will he warmly wet. corned. $938,000 itxrxxnan for four revisions of the unrighteous Dominion Voters' List, only two revisions of which were, or oonld be, used, with nearly as large an amount expended by both political parties in oonueotion with the said revision, is a record no Government should plume it- self upon. The firet business of the corn. ingLiberal Government will be to wipe this Act off the statute book. Ix connection with the coming Conser- vative Convention, to be held at Gorrie next Monday, the names of Wm. Clegg, Wingham ; W. H. Clegg, Gerrie ; Ed- ward Bryan, Grey township ; and B. Gerry, Brussels, are mentioned as likely to be among the candidates before the Nominating Convention. Some say an outsider will have the pull and others that A. Musgrove will be the man. IF a, large attendance at the Conven- tion ; a unanimous nomination ; and a united and well organized party is a fore. runner of victory then Dr. McDonald should carry East Huron at the next election without any trouble. He is.a fluent speaker and well able to place the platform of the Liberal party before the electors and his speeches on the floor of the House have proven that lee has the courage of his convictions in expressing his opinions before the Government as he would in his own constituency. Da. MODottun dealt with a number of very important matters in his address last Friday afternoon, on a few of which we wish to dwell. 186,000 votes gave the Conservative party 69 members while 182,000 votes elected 83 Reformers. With 4000 votes 26 men are entitled to write M. P. after their name. The Gerrymander Act did the work not the will of the electorate. It took 5,550 votes to elect one Reformer last eleotion, while 3,150 X's were deemed sufficient to place a Conservative into office. Ie this representation by population 2 The Conservative party, judging by the evi- dence before Parliament, have had the contractor and monopolist at their backs when election funds were required. The Durran Bridge contract ie a notable and reoent illustration of this fact. Nearly all the Government contracts 'overrun the estimates by thousands of dollars. The Tay canal was tocost $122,. 000 but reached $476,000. It was built to the town of Perth to aid Jno. Hag- garb's works, yet after that enormous ex- penditure the receipts last year were about $135. The Trent canal with sie- nna' receipts of 3889 as a return for over $16,000 expended ie another example of this useless handling of public funds. The abolition of the Superannuation fund was trenohantly dealt with. The absurdity of pensioning off able bodied, competent men to make room for new political favorites should be obeoked and the enormous amount of money spent (over $2,300,000 annually) in this way turned into a debt paying channel. One instance of the folly and unfairness of superannuation! was the disposing of Joseph Leslie, Toronto's postmaster, in 1879, to find a plaoe for J. 0. Pattereon. Mr. Leslie was allowed $2,400 a year and in the past 15 years has received $36,000 and he is now only 74 years of age. Hie is only one of many such instances, The taxpayers of this Dominion should not oountenanoe such legislation, The aye - tem should 10 abolished, The Senate, as at presenb constituted, is a barnacle on the ship of State. 80 per cent. of the present Senators are over 70 years of age and 80 per cent. are Con- servabivee. They 00st the country 9150,- 000 annually, and instead of aiding or furthering legislation they retard it, The people should say who is to go to the Senate, and when a man has reached his dotage the Senate Chamber should nob, be utilized as a Home for the aged and infirm. England and the United States are waking tip to the folly of the 'Upper Houses as at present constituted, and if they don't move fast enough Can- ada should set them an example. There is evidently room for a big reformation and transformation too, in this Domin- fon. k$13'01. Mies Gaveulook, of Seoforth, le visiting in town.

Mr. Walton's offenoe was the opening of lettere passing through his hands. In addition to being dismissed he was pros - 'mated for wrongfully opening letters, and was fined $20 and costs. The wayward postmaster has been erring for some time, the opening of the letters being prompted apparently by curiosity es to their con. tents. The Galt Reporter bas this oat story : There are often stories told of the won- derful tenacity with which oats stiok to life, but many of them are not supported with the requisite affidavits as to their accuracy, therefore must be taken with considerable allowance. The following is told by a gentleman of thi a town, whose veracity is nnquestion ed :—He owned a favorite oat that went missing one day not long ago. Several days afbsrwarde while rebuilding a w ood pile that had fallen over, the animal was dis- covered pinned to the earth under the woodpile, but still alive although badly injured. A neighbor's boy was engaged to end the animal's sufferings. He drowned her in a pail of water and buried the body deep in the manure pile. A few days afterwards the oat returned to the house apparently very little the worse of her terrible experience and is to -day running around as lively as ever.
