that will be iutroduced. It has very ocean
been said, an said truly, that the epee h is
more import rt for what it does not contain
than for wha it. does. There ie, however,
a good deal o material in it this year i in
fact, very m oh chore than has been the case
for some tim past. As already said i this

ment bill wi be he recititribution of con-

is concerned lo sheep stays statio 'try

in which they w re - treated, and it i not

created in th Gr b ranks. At any rate the
redistribution bil will be taken up and car-
ried as the major ty in the eenate now sup-
port the gove nm nt. ,
THE SEGOND MO T IMPORTANT MEASU E..,
The railway co minion bill is probably
one of the no t i importance to the rbdis-
tribution me ur , because the question of
transportatio is at the present time Terrell
more importe it than even the tiriff. The
Hon. A. G. B air, I Minister of Railways, has
charge of thia bill and has studied the
whole question. He is thoroughly oon an-
ent with the railway problem. There are
no a few who think that it would be"a
1 a
gocid thing forl the country if he took Old
ot he commission, onoe the bill is pa sad,
by becoming chairman. It) might be ood
for the country, but it would be a very bad
thing for the Government, because the in-
ister of Railways now holds the Maritime
Provinces for thelpreeent administration.

The Good Roads Movement.
DEAR EXPOSITOR, -As one of the com-
mittee appointed by the county council to
drafb a reporb to be submitted at the Special
meeting held in Clinton, on Wednesday of
last week, I must say that I was more than
eutprised at the action of the council in
changing clause 9, which, as drafted by
ue, was as follows :
" We would also recommend that the sev-
eral sums in eaoh and every year, and also
the amount received from the Goverament,
be expended equally in the eight diviardne of
the oounty, amording te the equilizetion of
each division on the several leading roads
leading to market towns and villages in the
county. The turns to be EO expended shall
be under the supervision of the county's:mum
enters in each division with the advice and
counsel of the township councils wherein
he roads are situated."
The council altered this report from
qualization to acreege. I, for one, °bloated
trongly to the change as nob • in the tuber -
ate of the central divisions of the county, as
will endeavor to show. In order to do so
t will be necessary to make some corn-
ariroas between the different divisions. I
111 take Nos. 2 and 6 first.

The stand I take, in this matter is that
e revenue collected from, for instance, No.
division for Grad Rods, should bo ex -
ended in filet division, and filet ti ex -
end it according to acreage, would be de-
idedly unjust.
It ie to be hoped the tewnship councils in
t e tentral divisions will look carefully into
t is matter before arriving at a decision to
r port to the country council, which they
re required to do before the June session.

he Farmers' Meeting at Hensall.
(By a Correspondent.)
A meeting of the South Huron Farmers'
seociation was held in Miller's hall, Hen-

ee° of discussing several important quest
ions in which the association is interested.
The president, Mr. R. B. McLean, °Wil-
led the chair. There were hpwarde of one
undred present from different parts of the

In his opening address, the president very

.Mr. MeMordie,being the first called upon,
ealt with the unjustness bf the law rainy -

the Government,for trying tofind an efficient

Mr. Smibh followed. He is a fluent and
onvirming speaker and held the audience in
ose attention for upwards of an hour, dis-
c ming the hennaing of railways and other

t e bonusing system is principally to blarne

A REVIEW OF TRE- ORD1R.
Dr. Sproule, M. P., reviewed the position
of the order. He regtetted that while the
Orange Association wa inereming in num-
bare, its influenee on he affairs of the couni
try was not as great as it once was. He be.
hayed title decline in i flaenoe was due to
some Of the men at the head of affairs. He
had noticed this deolen ion of influence dur-
ing the lifetime of their late Sovereign
Grand Master, and e (the speaker) had
urged hie departed ohi f to take notice of
these conditions, but t e late Hon. N. a
Wallace preferred to s ffer rather than say
anything.
THE NEXT PLACF OF MEETING.
