THE ccAMPAlONS in South Waterloo
and 1ast'Durlianl for election of mem-
bers to the Local. Legislature are both
lively. The Conservatives seem con-
fident of victory in both constituencies,
notwithstanding the fact that1Waterioo
was always a strong Grit borough.
The people are now beginning to see
that the doings of Mr, ly'ftlwat in power
are not in accordance with the prin-
cipl he advocated wheniln opposition.
?PORT OF -W QUESTION,

gates to. Ottawa with the petition to
make this town a,pQrt of entry, in not
Agreeing to pay the ,expenses dl' the

cessful, might in their own judgement
have been a proper step, but we cannot
agree with them on the stand they

was taken hold of by this Committee
-and considerable time• and expense 'in-
curred in preparingthose petitions and
having them circulated, This work is
'now co.npleted and they ask that in
' order that more influence be brought
' to bear on the Government .to have a
'delegation of two, appointed to take
the petitions to Ottawa. They are told
by the Council at this juncture, that,
•'-if the delegates are successful,, their
' expenses will be 'aid; and if not, they
will not be •responsible, as. much as to
say, "gentlemela, `you may work away

PROTEC27VE POLICY
It is becoming evident every day
that the people of the. •United States
are becoming tired of playing with 'the
Subject of the protective policy of Can-
ada, and are now .beginning .to •look at'
matters more seriously' from the prac-
tical point' of view- Theorizing is a
very' 'hide business, but 'When any pot=
'icy practically effects the pockets of the
• Americana, they •look atit in a differ-
ent light. Hera is what the• Boston

"'States says, regarding our tariff

that there are a great many more Rel

conduct of the Local Government in
allowing a member of the Legislature

ers who are not inconsistent.
