TILE RAILW! Y QUESTION
Tim railway question should come up
at the council meeting tonight. It is
tke most igsportant subject that we know
of at pimientos° far as local interests are
concerned. It should be advocated
in an earnest and thorough manner.
There is no uecessity fur a dull, deed.
tory, long-winded "talk" by any member
of the council, pod no man should take
sad the time of the meeting who has not
given the matter careful consideration in
all its bsaringw Gabble or blather is nut
wanted at the board, but intelligent dis-
cussion is an absolute necessity.
Already we have advanced soave rea-
sons why Goderich should heal the
movement towards brining the T. G. tC
B. from wingham to the lake. The
Wingham people have taken kindiy to
the project, and will aid the line hither
so far as in them lies. From carious
intermediate points we learn of a waking
up on the railway question, and we can
count upon a geed support fro n the beat
teen .f the townships through which the
proposed line would pass.
So let the railway committee ot the
council be set to work,with Lower to ob-
tain outside co-operation.
Arrangements should at once be made
by the enmmittee to place itself, through
the secretary, in'a•mtauniation with the
prominent_men of the C. P. R, with the
leaders of public opinion in the outside
municipalities and towns interested, CArrAty Rhodes has decided that he

assaulted by a ruwdy1 hose conduct had
been published is UM despatches to the
journal represented' l y the former.
Fortunat.ly the reporter was able to
take care of himself, and gave his %emil-
ant more than he bargained fur. The
latest' phase of outrage was the arrest
of magistrate McCabe, un a trumped tap
charge, by a drunken,swearin. Manitols
constable, who with a loaded pistol forc-
ed an entrance Of the private apartments
of the magistrate, and compelled him to
hie to durance. It is high time these
outrageous proceedings ceased. There
is no reason why Ontario men should be
aasulted with impunity by residents of a
sister province, and we hope to sou the
Outeriu tinkle's act firmly and sharp-
ly in the preinises,and bring to book the
ruffians who have used every endeavor
to make Rat Portage a place of riot, and
a scene of strife. We aro not anxious to
see fighting at Rat Portage, but if thele
is anything of the kiud attempted . up
there, we would much prefer to see On-
tario get the best of the .scuffle. The
fsntarians up there have been taking the'
kicks and cuffs long enough.
