EDITORAL NOTES.
Canada's local trade in the past fiscal
year with the United States was 3388,-
440,000, and with Great Britain $242,-
742,000. On the theory of the anti -
reciprocity spell -binders, our loyalty
must be in great danger.
By professions the members of the
new Ontario Legislature will line up as
follows: -Lawyers 29, doctors 11, vet-
erinary surgeons 2, merchants 14, manu-
facturers 7, farmers 14, lumbermen 5,
accountants 3, undertaker 1, editors 2,
insurance men 4, contractors 3, mechan-
ics I, financiers 2, teacher 1, real estate
1, civil engineer 1, apple buyer 1, cattle
dealer L
One hundred men, artisans in the
Dominion Public Works Department,
were discharged by the Governm• nt on
Saturday. Four masons, six plumbers,
three carpenters, and five painters are
on the list, the rest being Iaborers
temporarily employed since just before
September 21. A few foremen and as-
sistant foremen are also slated to go,
all for too open partisanship in the re-
cent election.
Immigrant settlers to the number of
281,898 arrived in Canada during the
first eight months of the current fiscal
year, April 1 to Dec, 1:. Of the num-
ber, 180,206 arriyod et ocean ports, and
101,892 from the United States. These
figures show an increase of sixteen per
cent. as compared with those for the
corresponding months of the last fiscal
year, which were 150,618 at ocean
ports, and 92,452 from the United Stat-
es, makings total for the eight months,.
April 1 to Dec. 1, 1910, of 24$,071 per-
sons.
Commenting on the result of the re-
cent election the Godericb Signal tsays:
In North Huron, considering the whole
situation, the Liberals did remarkably
well. Mr. Kerr was not a resident of
the riding, he was chosen as the party
candidate only a few weeks before the
polling, and he was unable ewing to

NOTICE.
Take notice that the above is a true copy of
the proposed bylaw which has been taken in-
to consideration and which will be finally
passed by the Municipal Council of the Town
of Wingham (in the event of the assent of the
Electors being obtained thereto) after one
month from the first publication thereof in
the Wingham Times, the date of which publi-
cation was the seventh dayof December, A.D..
1911, and the votes of the lectors of the said.
Town of the day and at the hourll s ane d places therein.

JUBN F. GROVES, Clerk.
Another installment of the Govern-
ment's idea of "civil service reform"
came on Monday with the summary
dismissal of another batch of sixty-five
Liberal employees in the Public' Works
Department, Over two hundred men
in Mr. Monk's department alone have
now been dismissed in Ottawa without
notice and practically without investi-
gation. There only offence is that they
are Liberals who stand in the way of
Conservative workers who want their
jobs. No more cruel or unjust wield-
ing of the axe has ever taken place in
the history of government in Canada.
It is practically, as Mr. Carvell, M. P.
for Carleton, described it, a system of
"petty larceny". Christmas gifts to
the party workers, regardless of who
Buffers, seems to be the spirit of peace
and good -will now animating his Majes-
ty's loyal advisers.
