Tonouxo Ciby Council is going in for
the recommendationnflegislation. They
recommend that Aldermen hold office for
two years instead of one ; that all candi-
dates for the Mayor's chair must have
'served a year at the Board, within five
years of seeking the civic chair ; than
tenders and supplies be purchased by a
select committee, chosen from the Coun-
oil, rather than by the Board, The
Queen's City Council handle e, large
amount of business, part of which recent
investigations say isnot .done in any too
clean banded a manner.
Nonan Oarrenro elected Mr.Mctxillivray
Coneervetive,in a three cornered fight
by a majority of over 700. The Liberal
Tote was foolishly divided by the running
of a Patron and a Liberal candidate
with the above result. Had there been
bat one there ie no doubt of the verdict.
By the time a few such contests are mil-
led off somebody will likely look into the
situation and deoide on a concentration
of forces in achieving a grand victory.
In many of these- political contests the
campaign speeches amount to little more
than a bnllyragging bee. The electorate
is not half so particular about the pedi.
gree of the candidates or etumpers
it is about the improvement of times
and lopping of ruinous expenditure.
PAEam1NT Ooaveeken has stirred up
quite a bit of exoitement over his tbrewte
regarding his proposed interference with
British rights is Venesuela and hie Core
grese has voted 5,50,000 to send a Com.
mission to straighten out quirks. Great
Britain is not disposed to yield her claim
which was. recognized before President
Cleveland was born and nye so in very
plain words. The United States of
Venezuela outs a huge semi.airanlar slice
out of the north coast of South America..
Its greatest length from Bast to. West is
about 1,000 miles, from North to South
about 770. The population consists of a
few thousand whites, a number of Indians
and a large majority of half-breeds. The
country ie exceedingly fertile in parte and
rich in minerala. Colambue discovered
Venezuela in 1498 and it remained in the
possession of Spain till 1811. In that.
year she revolted and declared herself
independent end she has been in the
fever of revolution, intermittently from
that day to this. In 1864 some attempt
was made at organization and a consti-
tution was adopted modelled faithfully
after the constitution- of the United
States of America. With considerable
amendment this terming to -day as the
constitution of Venezuela.

The County Council of Lambton, after
three days dispassion, decided to follow
the example set by Heron County and
