" The annue:1 meeting of the Refrom• 'Maeda -tow -of South Huron"; as cOn- **Muted for Dominion purposes, will he held in DIxOtee hail, Brucefield, on Monday next, February 11th at one ,o'clock -in the .afternoone for the puriertee of electing officers and the ttranactien of sudh other business as ay come before the meeting. It Le particularly requested that there be • 'fuil representation from all ;parts. of. the riding. 4 , The New 001.1110 Connell. It. May be interenting to our read- • ere to be given some idea, of the ea- ., Libre and kind of men who chiefly eon -t- allow taw 'new county 'council as con- stituted under the new law and how they- compare with *their immediate predecessors as well as with those et earlier days under the older dis- pensation. Th e writer of ,this has. 'attended nearly every session of the !Harm county council for thirty yea,rs .or more, ever eince the days of Such linen as Robert Gibbens, Horace Hor- ton, Thoresef Greenway, Archibald BUitop, William Young, Charles Gir- vin, G. Ecistirt Creswell, W. J. Shan- non, John Leckie, James Perkins, L. Gibson, Hurnoh.rey Snell, Patrick -Kelly, and others of •more or. lees proreinentet. whose names do not now. .occur to us. These. were all rou.rticie pal glantet in their -day, and several of them have since :distinguished them- telves ira Dominion and Provincial extlities, and more might have done .o had they been so diapoged. Most of there, having aeted well their part' in Otte, have been removed, and are not longer with we only three of those I. Wlle_ named are now surviving. A\hese are IVIessrsGreenay, Cresweand! Leckie. And it is worthy of note here that one of them, Mr. John Leckie, of Brussels, is a member of the new council, 'having been returned after an 'absence from, the council of twenty - lour 'years. _ The county council of thosedays had larger questions to deal with a,nd more businees to transact than have ,the councile of later years, and hence there was. more roam for the develop- ment of its, members, and the dlacti6,- 161Ons which frequently took place on "the floors of the council would do credit tri the Provincial Legislature of the present day. Of late years there have been few if anysuchdisplays of forensic oratory as frequently re- sounded int the old council chamber quarter of a century or more ago, when the gravel road aOproprla,thens, the Equalization committee's report and the relationof the towns and villagea tO the rural manicipalities, and ether such like burning questions of .the day were being 'discussed. The present council is composed of thirty-one member,s. Of theed two Eel(' seats in the council under the old law; three held seats under the preceding law, while 26 occupy seats in the county council now for the fir-st time, and, although all of them have had eonsiderable mu-nicipal ex- perience' in their own murticlpal cowl- , ells, this is their first Venture- ih the rnbre advanced line of municipal les. It le of these latter that we desire to speak, as the five older members., are so well knowri to the public tha.t we can 'leave them to one side. ° With few exceptions, these new -members are, comparatively speaking. .young men, most of • them are on the sunny side of forty, Triey are as fine. brainy and 'intelligent a body of me.n as; could be selected from any similar constituency in the Don loft. They took, hold a buSirtese right at the dart, like veteranaadisplaying a knowledge a public buoiness which. only experience can impart, and a zeal borne of enthuelasm. Many of them arF fluent and forcible speakers, while all are capable of expressing theft views with freedom a,nd in a -connected and logical manner. They will corn pare f av or a b I y, very favor- ably, with, any council that has ev- er assembled in the old council 'c,harn- ber in Goderich. In short, without a.n exception, they are a credit to the municipalties that elected them and the people of Huron have cause to congratulate themselves on the char- acter and calibre of their county council and we shall be much dis- appointed if they fail to "do.things" • and ar'd -satisfied to be simply flies on the wheel, burrowing along in ,the eld rut e pursued by their predeeees- -ore.

Editorial Notes and Comment s At the Liberal •convention, held in Strathroy, on Thursday of -last week, to .select a, candidate to contest the conatitupncy of West Middlesex in the bye-eleotien rendered necessary by the appointment of Hon. G. W. Ross to the Senate, the ehoice fell, upon Mr. Duncan -C. Ross, of Strathroy. Mr, • Ross is barrlitter, 'enjoys *a large practice in Strathroy, of which Place be is a native, and is the eld- • e'en son, of Senator Ross, the former member, who represented the con- stituency for 85 years, first in the Dominion Parliament and afterwards in, the Legislature. Mr. George *Stew- art, of Strathroy, is the Conservative candidate. He ran twice against Hon. G. W. Ross and was defeated. Wheth- er on not he will share the same fate at the hands of the son remains to be seen. The election has been fixed for the 20th" of bruarle Hon. George H. Vtrales, a former Tot•ontonian, tut' now engaged in the carriage manufacturing- business in Kingston, Jamaica, in a latter to the Globe. says the principal losses by' the earthquake were by the de- etruction of tne large brick build- ings and stocks they co.ntained and -that the; frame buildings were little injured. The principal needs now are for. • building . material and skilled labor to construct the buildengs: He cake there are plenty of 'provisions and an abundance of unskilled labor but that carpenters •ald especially brick 'layers can get immediate work and the aigheF3t wages as there are very few' an the island. He concludes by saying " The only , money losses - by the' disaster were to the owners et buildings, said merchandise. The masses owned nothing and therefore lost nothing but are as well or bet- ter off than they ever were. Winteta Is on 'in Canada. Here Is the place for 'your brick layers. The city is healthy." • Charles McGill, late manager of the defunct Ontario Bank, who has been prominently before the courts and the public • for several months, pleaded guilty- to the charge of mak- ing and signing ,fraudulent report i to the Government and was sentenced to five years in the Kingston' peniten- tiary. There were several other charges a,gainst him but it is under- stood that in the event of his plead- ing guiltyto the main charge the °then are ,to be dropped. Jt has been aseertained tliat„ about a million and a quarter dollars of the bank funds have been' best through MeGill's stock epeculations. His side of the story is that the bank was, practically, bank - when he assumed the manager- ship.
