dor the act of 1.890 ie a question that' re.
quires a good deal of consideration by the
officers' authorized to carry out its pro.
visions. A Careful reading of the AM' and
the tamable), application of many of its
euaotinente shows that more is required
than is specifically referred to.
The nominating officers for the reepac-
tivo divisions in this county have already
been pnblished in Tins Pun, and nomin-
ations are to be held on Monday, the 21st
of Deoomber, between the hour's of 1 and

sting officer is required to fix the place
wfthiu the division for holding the nom-
ination. This need not be in the most
000tral part of the district, bat should be
the most convenient and accessible to the
great hotly of electors of the district.
Notions of the nominating meeting and
of the election am required to be given by
two insertions of an advertisement in
each of two weekly newepnpers published
in the county prior to the nomination day,
or by giving suiliciout public nobles there

immediately niter the lapse • of the time
in which candidates may withdraw, being
either at the nomination meeting or dur-
ing the following day, certify the fact and
the names and addresses of those remain•
fog in nomination to the County Clerk.
The expenses incurred by the nominating
officer in and about the election, are re-
quired to be paid by the county. These
may include the expense of advertising,
of posting notices of nomination, rent of

of nominating officer,
When an olectiou is required to be hold

to prepare the ballots, and before doing
so he should receive from the Municipal
Clerk of each municipality in his county,
a list showing the number of polling sub-
divisions and the number of votes in each.
The form of ballots, notioee and other
papers aro to be the same as nearly as
possible as those provided for by the Con:
solidatad Munioipai Aot of 1892.
Where all members of the looal council
aro eleoted by acclamation, the council of
such municipality and the clerk shall

The annual self-denial week of the Sal-
vation Army takes place throughout the
territory from November 22nd to Nov.
2801 inolusive. Every Salvationist is
more than occupied with preparation for
tbie event. A wonderful testimony to
the Army development and activity has
been paid in past years .by the large
amount of money which has heen raised
in this way. Each member of the Army,
as well es the friends of its many eooial
institutions, are asked to abstain from all
luxuries, and in many eases oMoere and
soldiers are actually determined to do
without certain articles of food which are
ordivarilly considered aeeessary in order
that by their aote of self-denial they may
add financial support to the Army and
its many different branches of work.
The social operations in this wide field
have greatly developed daring the past
twelve months, there being several ex-
tension of the work. As a natural con-
sequence, therefore, the demands upon
the Army fonds have increased and this
will require still greater effort to raise a
corresponding increased amount during
this epeeist self-denial week. The Brus-
sels local corps is busily engaged in pot-
ting forth a scheme to assist in this noble
self.denial effort, and will be pleased to
reoeiv0 any help the friends are able to
give.
