and we have undertaken it with just as
full a determination to succeed. A
prospective view of the situation is
most flattering, and we think we can
safely promise our readers more sta•
bility and less mismanagement than
heretofore. We purpose making THE
Tiares a repi esentative newspaper,
fearlese, outspoken and honest, to re-
present the sentiment of the people, to
advocate any measure having a ten-
dency to advance the interest and welt-
teing of the cemmunity, and to up-
hold the principles of the Reform
party. The tone of the paper'will be

a year, against twenty three millions
a year, when the present government The Dominion Organ and Piano Ca
took power, seven years ago; with °ter
thirty millions added to our debt last
year, and about thirteen millions this
year. it is surely time to call a halt.
The result of this extravagance when
properly looked at, is something fear:
ful to contemplate. The Ottawa Free
Press points out that every working
man. who !me a wife and three child:
ren—making the average five in
Iftemily—pays $38 in Dominion taxes
year. If he earns the average
exas of a dollar a day, he storks six
weeks and two days for the Dominion
treasure before he earns a dollar to
Med and clothe himself and children.
i ft ds otrot matter whether the taxes
are &mat or iucbrect—they come out
[of his wages all the same! It is this
constant drain—this invisible Auction
—which makes the poor man's wages
not go so far as they used to, Work_
ingmen generally complain that a dol-
lar does not go so far I s it used to go,
but the reason is obvious. It cannot,
go so tar when the Dominion • tax
collector claims a larger toll on the
sugar, clothing and necessaries. Re.
duce the taxes and times will improve,
OUR RATE OF TAXATION.
We notice that several of our con-
temporaries affect great astonishment
that the rate of taxation for Winghani
for the current year should reach two
cents on the donee., and they are not
slow in throwing out insinuations cal-
culated to injure the credit of our
town. A high rate of taxation cer-
tainly detracts from the value of a
town in the eyes of intending settlers,
who are constrained to pause before
doing so, and unfavorable reports re-
lating to the sante emanating from the
press have a deteriorating effect. Our
rate of taxation is certainly quite high
and it seems to us to have been a mis-
take that it is so. It would appear to
have been an error, in the first place,
when a bylaw was submitted and de
bentares issued for the salt weli grant
that it should be paid off thus year
and next, instead of extending it over
a longer period. Again the water
works are costing considerable this
year, and the improvements are being
paid fur as the work progresses. This
appears to be an error, too. These
improvements are permanent, and in:
stead of being paid for as current ex:
penses, they should be charged to
cepital. Such items as those men:
tioned contain the whole secret of the
inereased rate, and unless a firm ren
is kept upon these matters and sound
judgment used in fnture the prevail:
ing evil of increased taxation withoul
reducing our outstandina debenture
debt will be the result, W e Rhusll
soon require a new market building,
we expect to have the Oanacliati
Pacific railway extended to Wingham,
and there are other matters that will
aall fora comiderahle outlay. Senn
means must be adopted to keep down
the rate of taxation, else it threatens
to become oppressive to our citizens
and dArimental to the future growth
airl, prosperity of the town.

OANADA1.11 GREAT
At the last meeting of the county Industrial Fair ! •
council council a resolution was paseed
to petition for the appointment of a
police matastrate if the wine and beer
amendments to the Scott Act were
not adopted. It now appears that
Warden Kelly refuses to sign the res.
elution to send to the government, for
what particular reason we have nct
learned. Whatever Mr. Kelly's per-
sonal feeling% in the :natter may be
he hes no right to assume an auto-
cratic attitudes and insult the wishes
of tiie body who placed bine in the
position he holds. Such a course is
very discreditable on his part, mid he
should be brought to book for it.
It is becoming a matter of doubt as
to whether the sentence of death
passed upon Louis Riel will be carried
out. Judging from newspaper ac-
eounts, the feeling of the French in
the Province of Quebec is quite adverse
to ths, sentence, and strong pressure is
being brought upon the advisers of
the Governor General with a view to
having the sentence commuted. The
Government look to Quebec for their
main support, and it is feared that
the wishes of the French will be con-
sulted is the matter in order to obtain
that support. Riel bas had a fair and
impartial trial and has been found
guilty of raising a rebellion, and shed.
ding human blood, and whether the
Government dare to interfere again to
defeat the ends of justice remains to
lie seen.
