Another proposal and perhaps a better one is to lihuit the represents. tion of a council to ten lnembera and have themohosen from among the reeved by a vote of the township counoile com- bined. E•.tLer of these proposals would be preferable to the system whish the Whitney Government now proposes to adopt. -Ottawa Free Press. Ag a matter of fact, newspaper men conte into the possession of many secrete which would undoubtedly make "good reading," but which, for various ree- goes, are never given to the public. Pity for those in trouble and sympathy for the eftlisted playa a greater part in the suppression of news than the public imagines. Trust in a newspaper is seldom betrayed; but a spirit of defiance in refusing information uaturally puts reporters on their mettle, and matters sometimes become public because ot this, which would have gone no further ba the newspaper been taken into eon, fidenco.-Stratford Herald. It is doubtful if there was and general demand for a change in the constitution of county councils. The system. which has been in operation for some years has worked satisfactorily, and it was an enormous improvement over that which it superseded.

Any ooereoion of the member who is inclined to obey the people in this matter on the ground that he should 'stand by' his fellow 'grabbers,' through a false 'loyalty,' will arouse a sense of resent- ment in the country which may render less secure the saddles of even these im- pregnable members who are openly counting on the forbearance of their constituents.-dfontreai Star. '!'here is scarcely any difference of opinion as to the misobievoas effect s of the treating system, and moat people will ' be disposed to believe that if it could be gotten out of the way a very long step in the direction of temperance reform would be taken. The dtljlions point is whether or not a law of this character would be reasonably well -enforced, and, if not, whether its educative value would justify its being placed on the statute books. -Brantford Expositor. "The very wealthy," says Mr. Car- negie, 'Are not happy." No end of stuff of this kind is talked by some rich men and by some men who are not rich. Some of the very wealthy are not happy. Some of the very poor are not the happy. Some who are not neither `rich nor the reverse are not happy, either. Money does not necessitate either happiness or unhappiness. But the cold fact which every sensible person knows in his heart is that Inset people have a muck better chance for happiness with a fat purse than a lean one. Ottawa Journal. The opinion prevails among those well-informed in county affairs that a tenon better pian than that proposed by Chest Pains of Bronchitis IT is the tendency of every cold to develop into bronchitis, consump- tion or some form of lung trouble. Bronchitis is most dreaded, because it has a tendency to become chronic and return again and again, until the patient becomes worn out or falls an easy prey to consumption or pneu- monia. If the cough is dry and hard; if there is pain, soreness or tightness in that chest; if breathing Is difficult and causes pain in the chest, you have every reason to suppose that you have bronchitis, and should promptly begin the use of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine. Cough mixtures that may help nn ordinary cold have no effect on bron- chitis and asthma, but fair. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine has won its inviable reputation :on account of it& wonderful success in cueing these ailments. 25. cent* I>tteltl title Campbell -Bannerman, points to the colonies as proving that the system of payment works well. He ought to in, form himself accurately about the work - nig of politioal institutions in the colonies before he founds a momentous change upon the results of their experience. Had he been at Ottawa during the last sess- ion, and especially had he seen the con - dad of the Senate, he might have been led to look elsewhere for a warrant. Be- sides, the case of these democratic com- munities, where the subjects of legisia- tion and government are comparatively simple, differs greatly from the ease of England, with its Foreign Office, its Colonial Office, its India Office, its Irish question and other high and difficult concerns of State. In abolishing what was nearly the last Conservative institu- tion of an, effective kind, Campbell - Bannerman has taken a bold atep. Let us hope that it will not prove more than bold. -Bystander (Mr. Goldwin Smith), in The Weekly San.

Under the system of representation proposed by the county councils hill now before the Legislature, th econnty conn. oil of Huron will have thirty-one mem- bers, in place 01 sixteen as at present. Each of the twenty-six minor mnnioi- palities of the county will be represented by its reeve, and in addition the town- ships of Ashfield, Grey, Howiek and Stephen and the town of Goderich will each be represented by a deputy reeve. these municipalities being the only ones in thecounty containing ,the than one thousand voters. We append figures showing the popu- lation and the number of municipal voters in each of the minor municipal. ities. It will be seen that the new sys- tem in a very marked degree throws a- side the principle of representation ac- cording to population. The village of Wroxeter, With a population of 411, will have equal representation with the township of Hulled, which has a pope. Iation of 2,664. Grey township, with a population of 8,040, will have two rep- resentatives, and Hay, with a popula. tion of 3,295, will have only one. A. population of 1,723, Comprised in the villages of Bayfield, /basalt and Wrox- eter, will bave three representatives; while several single municipalities With over 2,200 population will have only one representative. The figures are as follows: "Population No. Voters Ashfield, ........ 2,916 1,052 Colborne 1,679 600 Goderich Tp 2 250 Grey 3 040 Hay.... 3235 Howiok 3,668 Hallett ,,.,2,664 14IoIl illop 2,888 Morris....., . , 2,296 Stephen... ,3,755 Tuekersmith 2,073 Turnborry 2,028 tTaborne.... ..9,126 E.

Canada Twenty Years Hence. (Farmer's Sun.) It is expected that 50,000 immigrants frons Great Britain will settle in Ontario this year. About an equal number of Ontario people will remove to theNorth- west in the same time, The volume of the two human currents is likely to iu- oreaae rather than to deeraeee. It is quite within the range of possibilities that in the next six or seven years we may lose half a million of our own peo. ple to the Northwest and receive an equal number from the old land. Suet' great changes in a Province with a pop• ulatioh} of a little over 2,000,000 must prodnoe important industrial hand social effects, We are losing not only the young and progressive, but those of our own habits and dttstoms; we are getting young as Well as old from abroad, but these, whether young or old, • are not as progressive as are the men and women we are losing, and their views of life differ in many reepeote from those held here. At a result of all this Ontario of ten years heave will differ very ma- terially from the Ontario of to -day. Those of our people Who go to the Northwest will also be changed; they Will find themselves developing in the betlidless West a new point of view,and Will be greatly influenced by turrennd.

It is a curious fact that notwithe standing the marked advance in the price of ivory in recent years the Vol - nine of sates has not diminished, but has actually Increased. Tusks lhive been selling in the markets of London and Antwerp at en advance of 80 per cent. over the prices charged a few Years ago, The causes which have led to this advance in price are interesting. It fe not due to any arti,dclal manipulation' of the market in the great centres, nor is it due to ipereased demand or scarce; i ity of elephants. For the cause the 111-1 quires must look to the heart of Africa, where a spirit of genuine commercial. ism is manifesting Itself among the natives. Their wealth is in ivory, an they X,ave Iearned to value It as snit, In- deed, the .wealth of leading men among the natives was on1e%cvta}nonly count- ed in tusks. They would' sweet a dusky capitalist of this kind that he was worth so many tusks, just as one In this country would say that aman Is worth so many dollars. Of course that was a natural phase in the development of a primitive peo- ple. The red man estimated his riches In wampum, and the Laplander in fora, They often would part with their p06- sesssions for a few beads or trinkets. They did not know the value of a dol - o Iar. Certainly it Can no longer be said of the natives of Africa that they do trot know the value of money. They have learned. Thus it comes that the "heathen in his blindness' is not so blind as has been supposed. Increased transportation facilities and telegraphic communication have brought Africa into closer touch with the rest of the world, It is said that a native may be working 1,000 miles in the interior, and yet he can quote you the cash value of tusks in the Ant- werp or London market. Lonely London Bachelors. The somewhat lonely life led by Ad-' miral Sir Arthur Cochrane, It. C. whose sadden death at Charles Street. St. James', was the subject ot e coroner's inquest recently, draws at- tention to many such solitary exist- ences, says The London Mali. The district contained within the limits of the Haymarket, Piccadilly. Pall Mali, and St. James Street, is practically monopolized by houses let out in rooms to retired naval and mili- tary men and civil servants, all bache- lors, who have settled down to spend the evening of their lives within' the four wails of their respective clubs. They sleep in the lodging houses which practically usurp the quadrilateral ot St. James', and they get their breaks fasts there, perhaps, and that is alt. The rest of their time they spend in their clubs. It must not be supposed that these rooms are especially cheap. None are to be had under twenty-five shillings a weak; the average price is thirty shil- Iings, For that one obtains a 'plainly furnished bedroom at the top of the house scrupulously clean but without undue adornment. The attendance is included, It Is usually good, provided the tenant eases matters by occasional "tips" to the valet who keeps hie wardrobe in order and brings him his bathin the morning. Lights are also included, and at night the transient lodger who returns to the house at 11 o'clock will see in serried rows the candlesticks of the habitues awaiting their return from the clubs. In the hails of many of these houses also one may see packed away in it corner dusty piles of hat boxes -+ th property of young officers scattered all over the globe in quarters where pint hats are not de rigueur. "These lodging houses," said the secretary of a large West End club, "'serve a useful purpose, but they are not places to be ill in. The rules of most clubs make it impossible for mem-, bers who practically live in them to take a bedroom ;permanently in the club buildings, and these , lodging houses supply the want, "For my part, I could not tolerate the loneliness. But you will find old gentlemen so wedded to their clubs that they think nothing of the fent hours they spend in bed in their lodg- ings. They will stay up through the long vacation, though they have plen- ty of invitations into the country, rat ther than leave their clubs." British Surgeon's Odd Dressing. A substitution of glass for lint in dressing certain kinds of wounds is the curious suggestion made by Dr. J. L. A. Aymard, M. R. C.
