Did the liquor dealers eoiu it ? No 1 it came irom the pockets of our own people who could well afford to pny a largo increase in taxation and still be better off if it were not for the liquor traffic. Tun Birtle, (\Ian.) Observer deals with the Riel question as follows:— In July lent Beverely Robertson shot a moose door at the mouth of Eng- lish River near Fort Alexander. For this breach of the game law the cele- brated Jurist was, the other day, fined one hundred and three dollars, including costs. With our present wonderful courts of law it is safer to kill men than moose deer in the Northwest. Some years ago Biel and a few others engaged in a hunting expedition, and after chasing the Governor out of the Province, they succeeded in sbootmg it man named Scott. Did the Government fine Biel? Not ab all! Rtel fined the Gov- ernment and got the money too. Last spring the same celebrated sportsman engaged in is more extensive shooting expedition and got several bands of savages to assist him. They had a pretty good time and some rare sport. They wore fortunate enough to shoot ever so many settlers, took' their oat- tle, burned their houses, and robbed their stores, The Courts have been all simmer trying to discover wheth• er or not these festive sportsmen did anything wrong. For a considerable time the popple were given to under- stand that the Courts were trying Biel, but now it is known that Biel 15 trying the Courts and perhaps he will fire the Government again. The great judges and lawyers are not quite sure but Riel is a lunatic. Every ono knows that there is a good dealof lunacy somewhere, but no one thinks that there is much about Riel. LATELY several correspondents have been attempting to pat Warden Kelly on the back for nogleotmg to do his duty. The bug -bear of th t terrible results following iu the wake of the appoiutment of the PolioeIdagietrato, such as payment of salary, &e. have all been pictured. Now, the matter was not sprung on the County Coun- cil and the vote given by that body was with the full underetandiug that the salary would have to bo paid by the County. Taxpayer No. 1 wond- ers if the temperance people should not enforce the law. Why should the enforciug of this particular law be left to a certain class any more than any other law ? Law breakers are, as a rule, handled by the regularly appointed authorities and the Scots Act should be no exception. Tinto and time again we hour persons say the Act was not carried by a major• ity of the rabepayerd in Huron. Pray *hone fault was it if thud° opposed stayed home and allowed 1,580 votes to be piled up as a majority for the EtIeel. Mr. Isaacs, of Galt, Is our new station master. There has been a good deal of sickness around here this summer. Ethel is becoming a tidy little vil- lage illage and a good deal of businese is done within its bounds.
