The Brussels Post, 1885-6-12, Page 4A ,lac 4,11,tltcl$ psi FItil).1Y, JUNE 12, 1885. Tun Gladstone government of England has resigned, and a now election will probably be brought ell 50011. Rim's trial is the next question of interest in the Northwest since the Indian bands have been put to flight. Christopher Robinson, Q. 0., and B. 13. Osler, Q. 0., have the prosecution in hand. The trial will likely extend over several weeks, and thea the trouble will be to get a jury to agree on a ver- dict. IT semis a great pity that the Medical men who prostitute their profession by issuing certificates to everyone asking thecal cannot be handled too severely for the same. There is a sample of this unprofessional conduct at Wing - ham, Seaforth and Godericli. Surely the Medical Association of Huron will not allow this unmanly procedure to pass without their criticism. MIIIMOMMOMMEMIIIMMileIMMIONNII Triose: who pretence to know say the House of Commons will carry the Senate's amendment to the Scott Act by a good majority, from 7 to 17. If they do so in the face of all the protests, spoken and written, nothing remains for the loyal temperance people and those who are tired of the liquor traffic than to bounce every man who votes for it. The time has come when this question must be decid- ed, and if the Commons are not already aware of the popular opin- ion of the majority- of the electors who have had a chance to speak, then they need to be taught a les- son. THE Franchise Bill drags its weary way clay after day at Ottawa. A. few amendments have been made to it, but the major portion remains the same. It seems a pity to waste the people's money-- our oney—our money—in lengthening the session week after week in debat- ing useless legislation. There has never been any particular cry out against the present way of prepar- ing voters' lists, and the idea of manhood suffrage appeared to be the magnetic point in the minds of many. Now the question is al- tered and the qualification is to be raised, outside parties are to have the revising of our lists, the Indian is to stand in with the white man, and trouble will be the result. The vote on this measure will bewatch- ed by the electorate at large, and thousands of people intend stand- ing to their purpose not only in condemning the bill, but in using all lawful means in defeating any government who push such a measure through the House.
