I=;;., FRIDAY, FEBUARY 5th, 1897
F'''I The Premiers and their wives of all
the British colonies have been invited �
E,, to visit the Queen on the occasion of
�• her diamond centennial. Hon. W.
i Laurier and A ife have accepted the in-
s,. vitation.
t. . Three bye -elections took place yester-
day -North Ontario, South Brant and
S'. South Simcoe. All were formerly rep-
resented by Conservatives, and the
prospects are that at least two, if not
R, the three of them, will in the next
House be represented by Liberals.
It is stated that the new franchise
1, ses-
t the
next
:bill, to be introduced a
r , sion of Parliament, will accept, the pro-
�vincial lists for Dominion purposes.
, This is what the Liberals have all along
": claimed should be done, and it will be
� a vast improvement on the exppensive
?: and nearly always out-of-date Domin-
P;? ion lists.
!'
, Hon. G. E. Foster, in a speech the
sother day, asserted that "a nefarious
it plot had been entered into, before the
lt',,.
"
general election, between Mr reen-
Ir way and Mr Laurier, as to the aettle-
, anent of tr'
he school question." M
` Greenway gives the assertion an em-
i'I Iphotic and unqualified denial, and adds
r. that Mr Foster was in a position to
3 know the statement was untrue when
i; be uttered it.

pCounty Counen Matters
__
The new council has had its fire
session, and the experiment of a rc
I duced number of legisl%tors may, I
1 i onounced a Sul
general terms, be p
cess. The members had to work
IC• little harder and put in longer hour
than the old council did, but they mar
1 .. aged to get through all the work i
the sante number of days as formerl3
The pal,y sheet for the session reprt
u Bested about one-third what an ordir
rary session would cost; against thi
f, there are a number of accounts to b
paid by the council, incident to th
11. holding of the election, which bad no
-to be met before.
nvei
� ` . County Treasurer Holmes,iuLt of th
P' cation with a representat ve
NEw ERA, expressed his disapprova
• of the new act, and stated that he di.
not think in the lonrun that anypar
;i titular saving woulg d be effected; h
V ; thought also there was too much wprl
k for 16 men to perform; he believed th
;,, , people preferred plenty of reptiresenta
tives, and for his part would be willing
to let them have them.
County Clerk Lane said that he dit
not at first favor the change, but afte
?I the week's experience be believed i.
, beneficial. It would take time to ge
, everything just into line, but his opin
ion was that a considerable Savin++
:' would be effected and the sans b wort
tt be accomplished.
i• Mr Holt, representative„for Distric
$ No. 1, said that he had at first beet
�, strongly opposed to the new act, be
lieving that it might `curtail the lib
I erties of the people, but 'he woult
frankly admit be was a convert, ane
saw its advantages. The financia
saving was one very important feature
f,�'then the work could be accomplisher
' by the lesser number in ,,just about th,
�, ; Slime time as by alar -ger number. Or
the whole it was a good move.
4 . A rather unusual circumstance is re
lilted by Mr Lane. During the fiv,
”,` .years of his connection with the coup
�J, ' ell, there has not been a vacancy creat
'`',,. ed in its ranks during any,of the year
t : 9-ither by removal from the county, re
1. tirement from the ranks, bankrupts;
1 or death of any of its members. O
course some former members hav
. j _ died, but (with the exception o
Reeve McMurchie, who died at the est
of iL term) none died or removed whip
members of the County Council.
The council was requested to add 25c
