INDECISION.
The road of indecision leads
To nowhere in particular—
Across the swamps where Sorrow
breeds,
Through wild morasses, deep and fer,
With not a goidepost, nor a light,
From right to left, from left to riglit.
The steepest way. the longest way,
The hardest way of all to climb,
Is not eo difficult, they say,
If it emerges somewhere, sometime.
Come, comrade; let's be rid of doubt!
And take the road we're sure about.

Recently there have been a number
of articles stolen from the premises of
the Methodist church. Not long ago
some person entered the Choir room
and took a pair of geutleman's gloves
from an overcoat pocket. A number
of electric lightlmlbs and several yards
.of expensive white satin ribbon also
disappeared, Later, four boilers were
stolen ; of the four, ane was borrowed
and three belonged to the Ladies' Aid.
These seem to have been taken and
cut to pieces to get the copper bot-
toms; one of them, all copper, was
mutilated almost beyond' recognition.
Some of the goods have been found
and identified, and on Tuesday even-
ing the Trustees of the church decided
that pilfering roust stop at once, Some
of the pilferers are traced, and will an-
swer for their misdeeds before the
Mayor of the town.

Liberal Convention.
The Liberals of West Huron met at
Dungannon on Alondaylitst to eeleet a
enudidate for the approaching elec tion.
There was a large attendance and con-
siderable rivalry for the honor of can-
didacy. Among the delegates front
Wingham were J. A. Morton, T. A.
Mills, R. Mackenzie, W. Robertson,
W. Nicholson, A, Cosens, 11. Park, G.
Newton, H. B. Elliott., D. M. Gordon,
A. Tipling. It is reported that there
were twenty-one names submitted,bilt
the list decreased to seventeen, and by
the time the ballot was taken, not
more than five, or seven et the most,
came to the ballot teat. Five of these
were M. G. Cameron, Goderich ; J. T,
Currie, Reeve of East Wawanosh
Dalton, Ashfield; A. Stuart, county
councillor ; Wrn. Lane, co:lay clerk.
One by one the aspirants dropped be-
fore the shower of ballots, until J. T.
Carrie and M. G. Cameron were left.
When the ballot between Messrs. Onr-
rie and Cameron was about to be ta-
ken, Mr. Care of East Wawanosh
spoke in favor of selecting a candidate
favorable to Prohibition. The men.
tion of Prohibition Was received with
Woes. A gentleman from Clinton re.
marked that in spite of hisses he would
dare to urge that a candidate acceptra
ble to the tettmeertnee people be select-
ed. The ballot was then taken and the
vote reported—Cuerie 00; Cameron 75.
It is indeed 'creditable to Mr. Currie
that he took so large a vote. For a
comparatively now man in the politi-
cal arena, Mr, Currie has roman to be
proud of the vote he towered, and had
he been the choice of the convention,

Waterworks.
As will be seen by reference to the
minutes of the Town Councilthe ques-
tion of waterworks is again at the
front, It is forced upon public atten-
tion this ti na e by t he Oanada Furniture
Manufacturers declining to pump water
for watering the streets. The ques-
tion now is—how is the water to be
supplied to sprinkle the streets for the
present season. It seems peculiar,
that while the town bits an excellent
water power, and disposes of him -
tired of dollars worth of water yearly,
yet it cannot get a sufficient quantity
pumped to water the streets. This is
certainly a state of affairs that requires
a remedy. After some informal dis-
cussion on Monday evening, the (Jima -
Oil adjourned to obtain information, as
to cost, etc., and will meet again next
Monday evening, Some suggest a
main from either Josephine street up
John Street, or from the Union tip
Victoria street to a stand -pipe erected
on the hill at the east of town. It was
intirnnted on a rough estimate that
the main would cost nearly 82000, and
the stand -pipe about $t000. This would
simply furnieh river water for fire pro-
tection, street'water ing and lawn ser-
vice. As we already have water for
fire protection, it seems doubtful it it
would be wise to Went the cost merely
for streets and lawns. It would, ap-
pear to us, a better plan to incur four
or five times that amount of expense
and furnish water for drinking pur-
poses at the same titne. The question
of water for domestic use Is ane that
Wing -ham must face before long ; the
health and life of the citizens end their
families are involved in the imestion,
;led where twit importaet interests
are concerned, no "penny -Wise, pound-
foolish" policy shnnld prevail. The
matter requires careful thonght, a
broader outlook than simply "to -day"
or this year—but the future of our
town, and the health of its citizens.
We think the Council will approach
the question thoughtfully and with
t1z4o
best.motives, having the intdests
of the town in sv
vie, and no "ItirOS to
