FRIDAY, DEC. 25, 1885.
Orn farmer friends should keep
the question of establishing a
Farmers' Institute fu this riding
talked up so that next month a
complete organization may be
formed. As we have stated before
there is a very large amount of
good to be derived from them and
the larger the membership the
surer its success. The Ontario
(government are doing all they
can to aid these institutes and all
that is needed is the hearty co-op-
eration of the persons in whose in-
terests it was devised. Keep it
talked up.
As will be seenelsewhere • in this
issue municipal affairs are to be
run on party lines this year. It
was hoped by many persons, of
both political parties, that this
kind of thing was going to be bur-
ied, but the action of the Conser-
vativa Association in singling out
two of the present Council and
adding three others to their list,
all Conservatives, proves, quite
.conclusively, that politics are to be
gone into. If this year's Council
have done such 'outrageous' things
is not the Reeve and Councillor
Vanstone as likely to be respons-
ible as the three others ? As far
as we are concerned we don't think
there is any desire ou the part of
any member of the Council to keep
any information back from the
ratepayers and before a vote is
promised to anyone the matter
Should be thoroughly understood.
As far as the candidates are con-
eerned they are known to the peo-
ple and it will be for the ratepay-
ers to say who will be thought the
best qualified to manage the affairs
of the town.
A GREAT deal has been spoken
and -written about Biel and his
execration and a great deal of it to
very little purpose. We don't
think- anything short of the full
penalty of the law, in Riel's case,
would have satisfied justice.. Biel
was a crank and was not very par-
ticular what he slid so long as the
money was forthcoming. No one
doubts but that there were grievanc-
es in tho Northwest Inc sore ones
too, but Rielnot only took revenge
on those he looked upon as his en-
emies but his supposed friends had
to suffer as well. We have no
room in this Canada of onrs for
franks, or crooks, either, and
while they are not all dead, by
any means yet, they are a class of
citizens that can be dispensed
with without any particular loss
to the country. The debt of the
Dominion is enormously large now
and any such expenditure as the
fitting out of an expedition similar
to the one that went to the west
this year cannot, be allowed with-
out our credit having to stiffer.
