At the Dnuiit,iun election contest in
Halton Co., oda Tuesday of this week,
Mr. Hendersoe, Causer votive, was elected
by a majoeity of 149.
Tux farmers of this Provineo cannot
fail to view with merited admira ion the
move of the Provincial Legislature in
the matter of advancing the interests of
the farming conamnnity. Tho choice for
Minister of Agriculture is being dismissed
both in and out of the House, and in the
list of name. spoken of the choice would
be a good one no matter which of them
were appointed. The questio$ is even
satisfactory to the Opposition end very
few of the Conservative papers have at-
tempted to criticise the action of the
Government on this important subject,
or say that the "Little Tyrant" was
doing wrong.
We heartily approve of the action of
Brussels Branch of the W. C. T. U, in
applying to the School Board to have
Richardson's Text Book on Temperance,
containing lessons on alcohol and its
action on the hnmuu body, used in the
school, and we are prepared to cordially
cndo.se the position taken by the Board,
viz.: That this book be used in the 1st,
2nd and Ord Departments of the school,
• by the tenebere giving lectures once a
week. We have perused a largo portion
of this instructive and interesting book,
written from a scientific standpoint, and
we feel safe in saying that the pupils re.
oeiving this instruction cannot fail to be
greatly benefitted by it. This meets the
wishes of a good many opposed to what
they call coercive measures for sup.
pressing the liquor traffie, and If the
young people of oar fair Ontario are
thoroughly trained the cause of temper.
antic will make rapid strides in the time
to come, May it be so.
CONSIDER/01/.11 space bas been devoted
in THE Pest this week - to a number of
our villagers who feel indignant at the
puerile and contemptible actions of are.
tan parties in libelling and slandering
Brussels postinester and attempting, by
means base and beneath the dignity of
manhood, to oust him from a i o-ition he
has continuctislr filled. creditably too,
for over a ec,•ro of years. To cap the
climax an investigation was asked for
and although the Postomce Lispector
could not be greatly taken with the
showing made by the "second cook" on
his recent visit, the postponed investiga-
tion 00 n-ednoeday of next week will
cause greater coufasion to these officious
meddlers, wo trow. We hope the exam.
ination will bo open to the public so that
we will bo in a position to give the names
of the witnesses and the evidence that
has been spokes of so many times and so
likely to carry "death and destruction"
in its trail. We make the assertion, and
believe we can prove it, that upwards of
400 atones of persons receiving and send•
ing mail matter through Brussels office
can be secured on a petition, or testimon-
ial testifying to their confidence in the
present postmaster and their deeire to
have him continued in office. The pub-
lic is getting sick of this attempted black-
mailing and bulldozing of well known
citizens whose names and standing are
well known to the people of this section
for years. This style of preee0ure may
please a few but they are away in the
minority and a good many people feel
that the tone of public morals will not be
elevated nor the respect of outsiders in-
creased by those unwarranted, and in
many instances untruthful, distribes.
