The con - presented in the Legis- nd now another. session has opened and still West Huron has no place in the coun ils of the Province, and all through the di atoriness of the courts, of which we are pr ne to plume oureelvea so much. It is an -ou rage, and shOuld not• be tolerated. This, owever, is simply- one instance in many, here eimilar aggravating and expensive dela a occur throng- h the red tapeism and tardi etre of our courts. The judges seem to nu t their Own oonvenience and that alone, wi ;hout any regard to the public interests. We do not know whose duty it is to look after them in this respect and stir them up when they become too indeleat to properly perform the duties for which they' are so liberally remunerated. But upon whatioever power the duty devolves, it is high time they were taking some action. If the judges have more work on hand than they can properly perform, ad. ditional jadges should be appointed, and if the salaries of the new appointee& were deduoted from those of the existing judges,it would be apt to have a very stimulating influence and the public, would have less cause for complaint in the future. mEmpomonimmrsimmo Reforra Needed. There is, certainly, a orying need for re - farm in connection with our law courts, but in this, as in many other eases, it is easier to point out the need than it is to prepare the remedy. However, as the remedy is required, there (Mould be some person able to provide it. And the first movement should be towards simplicity. The proced- ure in our various law courts is now so com- plicated that only tbe professional man can understand or unravel it, and it ia doubtful if it would not puzzle many of them to do so. Another thing bitterly complained- of is the uncertainty. A peramemay obtain a decision from one or two courta, and in the second or third apiseal to a higher court that decision will be reversed, to be over- turned again by a succeeding court. So roneh so is this the case, that the only thing at all certain in connection with the trial of a mule is the certainty of heaping up an im- mense and ruinous bill of coats. This is something that never fails. A case very much in point, and it is only one in many that might be_ cited, is that of Atkinson vs. the city of Chatham, which wan decided a few d ys ago in the Supreme Court. The plainti a daughter was injured by a telephone pole hich was standing out several feet in the street. He brought ac- tion against the corporation for damages and was awarded $950 by the court. The city appealed from the decision and the higher court affirmed the former decision. Appeal was again Court, and the verdi ware reveraed. The taken in 1398 and th given last week.

It is said that there ourts for poor and rich only in theory and not nother case . point, although not so aggravated one as that: we have iucted, occurred recently in our own county and is referred to in- an ther oolumn of this issue.

Deceas- ed had been in rather poor health for sever- al years, but it was only during the last week of his life that he was confined to hie bed. He was born in the county of West- moreland, England, on the 27th of October. 1821, and consequently was in his 80th year. When he was a boy he removed with hie father into the adjoining county of Lancaster and here he remained for a good part of his younger days and for some years , after he was married, when he emigrated, in 1856 to Canada, and took up a farm about a mile west of this village and resided on this and the adjoining farm, which he bought afterwards, the res; of his days. Deceased had 6 brothers and 2 sisters and of these 3 brothers only sureive him : Rob- ert, James and Benjamin. The two former are still farming and the latter is retired in Heneall. His partner in life predeceased him nearly 16 years ago. They had a family of 2 sons and 2 daughters and all have eur- vived him, the 3 eldest being on the home- ; stead and the youngest, Mrs. Hay, is in Kippen. He was a man of the strictest integrity, honorable, fair and conscientious in his dealings. Ile was a devoted and faithful husband, a kind and affectionate father, an obliging and agreeable neighbor and a genial, humorous and social eotnpan• ion, In religion he was a Peesbyterian ; in politics he was Ifidependshat, taking no active part one way ' r the other. His re- rn ins were interre th Presbyterian ce etery, Cromarty, on aturday after - no n, and the high esteem i which he was he d and the deep sYmpathy for the bereav- ed , was evidermed by the 1 rge concourse th t followed the retnaine t their last rest - in place.

THE EXPOSITOR'S editorial on political in ratitude was as true as possible. To. w rds the close of the sixties the late James T ow, a big-hearted and amiable man, re resented South Perth and plainly stated t at- he did not require any more money t an what he bad, but that he tiook„ a pride in being a member of parliament. In eonse- q ence he gave his sessional allowance to- w rd the eohools of the riding, and, strange I it may appear, although he had been el oted by a large majority, the next time h offered for re-eleotion, he was defeated., nether case is that of Mr. MoNeil, the e ever representative of North Bruce. bout a year ago, when the hearts of loyal en and women were bleeding on account o disaster to British arms at Margersfon- t in, Colenso and Spion Kop, Mr. McNeil e pressed hie iatention of giving hie entire • asional allosvance, $1,000, - toward the trintio fund of the empire, and this he n dotibt did, and yet it has not been de - e 'ded whether he is elected or not. -Mies amie MeEwen left on Wednesday of last leek for Toronto, where she will attend t e Toronto College of Musie for the spring rm.
