APRIL. 24, ' 1896, Tun convenienceof nio o and comfort the bicyclist is being made a study nob only by the world but by the church. Chicago leads the way in the latter deportment, as at the door of one place of worship a man is placed whose business it is to check every wheel and give the duplicate bo the rider, who passes into thumb, leaving his bike in the care of Mr. Baggageman until the Benediction is pronounced. It is said this innovation has had the effect of large. ly increasing the congregation of this par- ticular church. Sonn,eonx is ill duetrionelyspreading the rumor that Dr. McDonald, the worthy representative of East Huron, will retire from the coming contest. The Dr. has not the slightest notion of doing such a thing and by the hearty co-operation of the electors of the Riding, such as he re- ceived on former occasions, he will be re- elected by an increased majority. We suppose the wish is father to the thought concerning a change in candidates, but the Liberals of East Huron are well salted with Dr. McDonald both in and out of the House and consequently expect to see him go to Ottawa again, but to sit on Government benches instead of the colder seats occupied by the Opposition. Doarnuox Parliament has dissolved. The nomination will be held on Tues. day, June 16th, and election a week later. The session just closed has been one of the most discreditable of any on record and the $80,000 expended was that much money wasted. There will now be a scurry on the part of the supporters of the Government to square themselves with their constituents, which will be no easy matter in some Ridings. To pre- vent the wholesale pitoh-forking of en. workable timber into office, the Governor- General has decided to decline ratifying 1 appointments made between now and election day. There appears to be a very prevailing opinion in almost all seetions of the Dominion that the emphatic words that caused consternation to Belshazzar of old, "Thou art weighed in the balance I and found wanting," has been written in the minds of a majority of the electors j concerning the Government, which will be exemplified on the ei'ening of June 23rd. A srr•.creL Act has been passed through the Commons aud Senate to permit the coming elections to be held without a new revision of the lists and as a consequence the general elections will be held on' lists two years old.- That means that thous- ands of young men who have reached their majority during those two years and are entitled to vote, ae well as thousands of others who have moved any distance from the constituency they lived in two years ago, will be deprived of their votes. The reason is, of course, that the lists have not been annually revised, as pro- vided for in the Act.' The lista were re- vised two years ago before the time the Government intended to bring on the general elections, but being afraid to face the electors the Government has hung on to power as long as Parliament could be kept alive, with the consequence that many voters will be disfranobisedinevery constituency. The Dominion Franchise Act not only works badly, but it is un- necessary. The provincial voters' lists were until a few years ago used for the Dominion eleotions, and served the pur- pose. Now, hundreds of thousands of dollars are wasted in preparing Dominion lists, and the expense of revising them is so great that it is only done at irregular intervals, instead of yearly, as provided in the act, so that they are not up to date when elections are held. The Dominion Franchise Act should he wiped off the Statutes, as it is expensive, unworkable and' unjust, to say nothing of its political abuse. Sat Onrvnu MoweT has written the fol. lowing reply to a letter asking him for information as to the duties of the new Roads Commissioner :—"The proposition entertained by the Government does not contemplate the expenditure of any money whateverby the municipalities. The work of the cotnmiesioner will be en- tirely educative in its cbaraoter. It is proposed that during certain months of. the year he shall collect in this country and in foreign countries snehinformation ne shall bo available regarding what is being done elsewhere for the improve- ment of highways. Be will also prepare any literature which it may be consider». ed desirable to distribute in reference to this subject, In addition to this it ispro. posed that the Comtniseianer shall tricot personally with road overseers .and with the ment'bers of Township, Town and Tillage Oounoils with the view of disease. iag the best methods of improving ` the ordinary highways. 11 is also proposed that wherever au opportunity ie afforded he shall superintend a section of a road as a sort oil pattern or ideal towards whiob overseers may work, The lllin, inter of 4grioalture has always firmly refueed to entertain the idea of making any radio] changes in legielation ae to the labor employed on the roads, or to give countenance to any ecbente of tax- ation such as has been proposed by some who have disouased the shatter. The theory of the Government is that we ought at present to work along the lines of educating the people ne to bow, they may, through the present system,, better utilize the labor, now employed in 'road - making.' The new McGrath Hotel stable in Mit- shell was burned to the ground Tuesday night about 11 (foto*.' The fire alarm was sounded but nothing could be done to save it. Insurance unknown.
