FRIDAY:, SEPT: 18rii,' 1885,
•ReHoo t"tatuzloNS.
The school board has- decided.to act
upon the suggestion thresh out by the
`.asis a short time ago, to hold the
election of school trustees, on the sante
day and in the same manner as that
for muniospal couneillois. - The secre-
tary of the board has notified the
town clerk to that effect, and the,next
elections will come together. We are
pleased to see the hoard take thin step.
.As a result it will be found that the
cost of one election will cover both,
and much more interest will be mani-
fested in the election of members of
the school board:
KIEL.
If nothing intervenes: to stay the
hand of Justice, Louis Rid will, to-
day pay the penalty; of his crimes•. by
giving up his ]ifs:, The punishment,
though severe,., is richly deserved,
If ever a, man merited hanging this
one did;:if for no other reason than
the murder of poor. Scott. . For this
cold-blooded crime and for, causing
one rebellion, Riel was permitted to
go free. Justice closed her eyes and
slumbered. But a second, rebellion,
with• its.i4ttendant horrors and blood -
shod „incited by the same man,.eould
not be overlooked., Justice was
aroused to a sense of duty. The man
is brought. face to fade with his crimes;
and eresthe sun sets. he will cross the
dark,nimer. over which many of hie
victims were sent before him.

But they grind exceeding small."
OUR CEMETERY...
The council has.asked the cemetery
ooiumitte• to suggest some means
whereby OW. eenietery may. be beau-
tified and' kept: in order., ,and the com.-
m.ittee will, doubtless bring. down. a
report at the next meeting,, d't is to
be hoped that some feasible • plan will
be pr:esented,,whieh wily prove effect•
rye and -at the same time inexpensive.
This is a very proper move and has been
taken none too soon. To say the least,
the mariner in which our cemetery is

able remedy seems to be to engage a.
caretaker whose duty it stall :be to dig;
and care for the graves and• preserve

devised whereby, the cost,af such care-
taker. would, be ,but triliing.to the town,

tion of the, cemetery is a beautiful
one, and there • is . no reason whys It

be justifiedlin incurring some expense

object, and no money could. scarcely

cemetery. A} well•kept cemetery in

THE YOUNG 11 ZEN'S LIBERAL CON-
VENTION.
The conyentibn of Young Liberals,
held in Toronto on Tuesday and Wed-
nesday, in point of number and en-
thusiasm, far exceeded the most san-
guine expect&tions of its most zealous
promoters. The attendance of dele-
gates from all parts of the province
was very large,. and, the• best of feel-
ing and order prevailed. Hon. Ed-
ward 13Iake•was elected.honorary presi-
dent: A.. F: McIntyre, of Ottawa,
president, and A.. M. Taylor, of Brus-
sels, who recently delivered an ad-
dress
ddress under the auspices of the Young
Men's Liberal Club of this town, had
tile honor of being elected, first vice
president. The platform, of' the
"Young Men's Liberal Aasociat:ori;. of
Ontario," as it is to be called, is a
broad and liberal one. Among other things
it provides for an elective senate; the right
to'ainend the Canadtan.Constitution with.
out reference to GreattBritain, save in so
far•as British severeignity is concerned;
that all constitutional changes be submitted
to a direot vote, yea or nay, of,the:eleotors
of the Dominion; that the Plovinciab ran-
ohise be the franchise for Dominion: Par-
liament, and tMlat for Ontario the Provin-
cial franchise. be manhood suffrage; that
assisted passage for immigrants be disoon-
ued;•that the right of"negotiating our own
commercial and extradition. treaties bo
obtained, that:the superannuation system
in the civil service bo abolished;ieciprocity
with the United States; the abolition of the
veto power by the Dominion Government
through the Governor General, leaving to
the Courts, to decide whether. Provincial
legislation is ultra vires; a radical measure
of civil service reform;: retreuchmeut in
public expenditure:

ZIOW'TO "BOUNCE" KELLY.
The Goderich Star ventures the
opinion that political animosity was
at the bottom of a recent article in
THE' TIMES commenting: on Warden
Kelly's action with regard to the
police magistracy, and it asks us to
inform the council how and when
they can "bounce" Kelly,, as, we sug-
gested. We beg,.in.the first place to
assure our contemporary . that there
was no feeling akin to politicalt ani-
mosity rankling in our breast when
we wrote as we did of Mr, Kelly's
action in this matter. We simply
took the ground that Mr. Kelly, a
man who was elevated to the position
of warden by the vote of the county
council, had a simple yet specific duty
pet for, him.to perform by a vote of the
;sanae•body cf+ men. He saw fit on
personal groundesto take an arbitrary
course and ignore the wish of those
who appointed him, and whose ser-
vant he really is, or atleastshould be.
Under, these circumstances. is. it un-
reasonable to seek or spggestj some
mode of, red. roes 4, or, is Warden Kelly
to be permitted•to act. the• part of an

II:OW SENATORS ARE PAID.
During the session recently ended
about, $175,00(1 were spent on the
Dominion Senate, Throughout the
whole session o£ nearly six months''
duration this body sat just 87 days.
The average time of each day's sitting,
was under two hours, Yet for their
labors the venerable Senators were
voted $1,500 each and mileage. Thus
the Senate cost the country over $2,-
000 a day for every day the ancient:
institution was convened,and over $1,-
000 an hour that it remained in ses•
sion. Every one of the 78 Senators
received $17.24 per day or
$8.62' for every hour that he was, fa,
attendance. And what has the Senate
to show for its last session's work
Nothing accomplished, nothing done.
Na useful measuves•introduced, no bad
legislation stopped or•improved. True,
the Senators made an effort to destroy
the Canada Temperance Act,.but did
net succeed.
THE NORTH-WESTERN FAIR,
The annual fair of the combined)
Turnberry Agricultural and Winghamt
Horticultural societies will be held in,
this, town on. Tuesday, Wed medley and
Thursday, Sept. 29th, SOth, and Oct.
lat. This is the:first year in which
the North-Western fair has been held
for more than two days, and appear-
ances at present indicate that it will be
the most successful exhibition ever
held in this -town. The new Horticult-
ural park is•a.m'agnificent one, and with
a little fixingup will rank among the
finest in the rural dihhtriets. The
slight elevation of ground along one
side of the ring affords a capital view
of all that goes on therein; the crystal
palace is commodious and so arranged
as to exhibit cerears and manufactur-
es to the best passible advantage. It
is proposed to break up and level the
ground in the center of the ring, after
which it will be seeded down, and to
terrace and ornament the hill along
the east side. This will.- not only
beautify the grounds, butwill] aiilirdr,
spectators an excellent, view of, the -
surroundings. %hese• improvements
will cost considerable,,and it is to be
hoped that farmers and., others will
lend their aid and encouragement to
make the institution a. sucoessifinanoi; Ribbons Laces
