How would it do to bave our mail mat- ter addressed to Stratford until Spring and have the neighbors deliver it as they come homeward ? Mr. Mulook if you, as Poetmaster-General, don't get a move on and see after the G. T. R., we'll go down to Ottawa and run the business our- selves. le the coming Winter is a "ring tail snorter," after the pattern of the past two, we will be sure to have a tri -weekly mail service on the W. G. & 13., under the combination of the present schedule and a big snow storm. That is, the train will Done up oue week and try to get back the next, Ye pioneers of Huron and Perth resurrect your ox sleds and let us go to Toronto across lots when we like. Hex. Mn. Swrox, of Brandon, is the new Minister of Interior in the Dominion Cabinet, being sworn in at Ottawa on Tuesday. It is expected that he will be re-elected by acclamation for the con- stituency of Brandon, where he is so favorably known in connection with the honorable and able fulfillment of his 5 years' experience as Attorney General in the Greenway Government of Manitoba. To this very important and arduous port- folio, as Minister of Interior, Mr. Sifton brings not only native ability and praoti- cal experience, but in addition has an un• faltering confidence in the future of this great Dominion, particularly that section with which he has been more intimately associated for a number of years. He has youth on his side, being only 35 years of ago, and will grasp the many intricate and weighty problems with a vigor that cannot fail to redound to the certain de- velopment of this country. Mr. Sifton was a former resident of London town- ship, Middlesex County, and bis well de- served promotion will be speciallygratify- ing to his many friends in Ontario as well as in the Prairie Province. Figur- atively we throw an old slipper after you Mr. Sifton and wish •you and the now completed Cabinet a long -end prosperous reign. Toa Grand Trunk officials have come and gone and their promise stands that better connections will be arranged on the W. G. & 13. than exists since cutting off the two trains. This is well as far as it goes. The idea of any railway issuing a time card whereby it would take a per- son three days to go to Toronto and re- turn, or get a reply to a letter, a distauco of 120 miles. It was simply preposter- ous, and if a sample of the clear beaded. ness of the new officiary-, was consider- ably off color. We want more than con. nection with the Provincial capital, how- ever. Morris towuebip voted a bonus to the L. H. & B. and consequently we have a right to talk and object to the present arrangement whereby the former close connection at Wingham junction each evening is cut off by the W. G. & B. train leaving before the London train arrives. A person coming from Goderich to Bras• sell has to leave the Co. town before 7 a. m. to reach here at 0.37 p. m. Talk about the lightning express 32 miles in a trifle over 11e hours, and $180,000 bonus paid for such a service, besides the regu- lar tariff for your ticket. A proposition was on foot, whereby if proper arrange- ments could be made, a passouger and freight route will be established with the C. P. R. at Wroxeter. Some correspond- ence is already away but the anbjeot will be held in abeyance until the G. T. R. horizon clears up. The shipping of stock at Brussels is also greatly interfered with under the new schedule, and if the Grand Trunk only knew it we believe they will lose more than they will make unless thorn is a return to the old schedule, which gave this lino nothing more than its deserts, Was have come to the wmclusioi during the past week that railway corporations aro allowed too flinch latitncle by the laws of time Dominion, as they are practically cock of the walk and are amenable to no one. Of course it is no doubt their de. sire to do business and attain wealth, but in Home casae we know that the majority of the stock -holders aro Old Country gentlemen who, judging by the report of their meetings, care cousidorably more for the percentage coming to them on their investments than the accom• modation or proper fitting out of the road. The bonus system ie rotten to the core and any municipality that can be caught by any railway corporation, or anybody else for that matter, deserves to get "salted." As a rule the results are parallel in every case, the funds are voted, handed over and then you receive what they feel disposed to deal out with the severest icnpsouniosity. In the 30 Mules 01 railway between Listowel and Wing - ham, built 58 years ago, wo believe Turn• berry township gave 823,000 ; Morris, $80,000 ; Grey, 855,000 and Velma 030e 000, snaking a total of 5120,000, or 84,000 t aide. The Government further subsi- dised the road by 82,000 a }Wile, making 500,000 more, or $180,000 in all, if our information is oorxeet, What was this large sum voted for ? The answer is . for the development of the country and the convenience and aecommodatiou of the public generally. As a rule the service rendered by the G. T. B. has been fairly good and as a result the muuieipalities have benefitted by it, but so has the road, and because there Domes an occasi- onal dull season they have no more right to deprive the public of requisite acoom• modation and not suffer by it than a businessman would have to close up his store in a slack time and expect every- body would deal with biro when he open- ed up as of yore. When 8 bonused cox- poration does this they either exceed their rights or else the legislation has been badly oat of plumb in the past. It should be some level headed politicians business to enquire into this important matter, unless the annual free pass has steeled his conscience. Huron County. OBIT. -On Friday morning, Nov. 0th, the many friends and aequaintcances were deeply pained to ]sear of the sadden death of Mrs. T. K. Powell, ut her home, lot 11, con. 0, Turnberry, of inflam• metfon, at the age of 47. On Tuesday Mrs. Powell was in Wingham and looked as healthy and well as anyone could wish, but contracting a cold, inflam- mation Dame on and in spite of all that medical aid could do she succumbed to the grim destroyer on Friday morning. The deceased was a daughter of the late Jobe Johnston, of Turnberry, and a sit• ter of Mrs. John Robinson, of the 8th non., Mrs. Robt. Weir, of the 0th con., and Win. Johnston, of London. The re. mains were laid to rest in the Wingbam cemetery on Saturday, and on Sunday morning Rev. Wm. Lowe, in bis sermon, referred feelingly to the virtues and the Christian charity of the noble worker whom God had called to a better world. A husband, three sons and a daughter are left to mourn the loss of an affectionate wife and kind and loving mother, and their many friende join in extending their sympathy in the great bereavement that has overtaken them. The Ganaaogne Journal has been pur- chased by F. Dingman, one of the pres- ent proprietors of the Stratford Daily Herald. In the case of the North Perth election petition against A. F. McLaren, 112. P., the petition was dismissed with costa. No one appeared to prosecute. S. W. Cady, accused of pointing a re- volver at R. McArdle in the G. T. R. yards at Stratford on Aug. 0 last, was convicted fu the police court there on Monday afternoon and fined $100 and costs.
