A meeting will be held iu William's Hall at 8 o'clock sharp Monday even: • ing to discuss the forming of a Young Men's Liberal Club. ,A31 young men believing it their duty to take more active interest iu good government and wishing to become better versed in Liberal principles,in politics and in the constitutional history of their ccuutry should be present if possible, and are not only invited but request: ed. Yesterday voting on the Scott Act took place in Middlesex and Perth counties. ,At the time of going to press we had not learned the result, but wee expect the Act will have car: ried in both counties. The Toronto News anticipates that the bye eleotions to be held this month will generally be favorable to Mr. Mowat, because the leader of the Ontario Opposition is hampered by his allegiance to the Dominion Go vern: meat. The country is poor, says the Ham; iltou Spectator, "because the Reform era ran it into deet to the extent of forty millions when they were in power.,' And although the present Government has increased that debt to nearly three hundred millions, this same journal asserts that it is making the country rich. On Monday last .a •Toronto•womar, was awarded $600 by -an assize court jury as damages for injuries received through a defective sidewalk: 'The defence was that she did not exercise reasonabie care to avoid the hole in the 'street, but the jury refused to tate thisexcuse into consideration. Muni- cipal authorities should take waening from this trial, and keep a sharp lock out for defective' planks. The British Columbia papers are taking their members severely to task .for their pusilanimous action -in eegard . to the Franchise Bill., The ':British, Columbia," of Westministerr, stirs. there were a few. Conservatives who had independence enough to stand out boldly against so unjust a (Measure. but we find that the British Colum: bian members as usnal voted always with the Government. This is the more to be regretted hecanse the bill proposed to disfranchise a great many of our present vot rs. HOWWUULU IT WORK ' A correspondent writes asking what there is to prevent Mr. Mowat propo- sing next session just such a measure as Sir John's. Franchise Bill, and if. lie would not be justified in boing so.. Cer- tainly there is nothing to prevent Mr Mowat doing as suggested, and he would be quite as much justified hi the action as Sir John is in his.

THE SCHOOL BOARD. To the editor of Tun TIMES. Sin. --Allow me through the col urns of your journal to agaiu refer to the half-day system which the School Board have adopted in some of the class rooms. This system is very unsatisfactory to' at least forty or fifty of the rate payers of the town, and I Ecannot see why this mistake should happen in such a tvirifty place as Wingham•. My opinion is that the idea emanated from the chairman of the Board, Mr. Morton, whose duty it is, I think, to try and advance the system instead of crushing it out. Of course the Bcard is jto blame in this matter as 'well as Mr. Morton, .II,He has been chairman of the Board for a, number of years. and must have heen aware that some of the rooms' have been overcrowded for some time: past; and has made no provision for the same. Now he says.the half-day system is the only remedy ; aad the parents of the children that have to stay at home inust pay their taxes and make themeeives happy or miserable just as they please. Mr. S3ott, another, of the trustee% says he, believes in the. half-day system also. • We cannot help. what curious notions a man get* into - ns head, but as trustees, we should'. 'look- to- the interest of the children. and their education. Lrist winter our. schools were so poorly heated _ the children were . sent home frequently ; now, when the . weather is .fine the Chairman and a majority of the Board' are of the opinion that the children would be better to stay at home the half of the summer months. I think there is no reason in this that would. Convince any' person endowed with a:. moderate share of intellect. The children will have two month's holi- day shortly. This with' the half-day. s9etein will make the time very short, and will give. the children about 'two month's practice in the summer., I bring this subject before the .rate- payers, hobins that the Beard will"not be lecj - estray in the matter, but see -that justice is done to all. - JOHN Il.e INA;.
