EDITORIAL NOTING. 4
The Globs'aifpGles the true Grit
inwardness when it the other day
remarked “Those who deal moat
in mouthing vaporings" (vide the
long-winded Grit mouthings in the
House) “are always the first.to- turn
traitor nnd preach rebellion when
their own wishes are thw.arted or
their own personal’ interests threats
ened.

Is is reported’here that Sir Leon
ard Tilley, owing to ill health, will
shortly retire from the Cabinet, and
that Sir Charles Tupper is about to
return frogi England and re-enter
political life. Rumor also has it
that Sir A. T. Galt has been invited
to join .the Government and take the
post of Minister of Finance, and
that with this end in view he will
shortly seek a constituency.
Kirkton.
On Thursdsday last Mr, Pollock, a
farm hand in the employ of Mr. Jas.
Hazlewood, 4th line Blanshard, had a
narrow escape from death. He had
led Mr. H’s, bull to Kirkton to have
him weighed, and when’ returning,
home, was fiercely attacked by the
aniiqal, who would have m_ad.fi short
work of him’had. not Mr. Marshall
and son, who were at the time only a
few rods distant, hastened to his res
cue, With clubs and a dog they sue-
ceeped in driving the infuriated ani
mal off, but not before the unfortun
ate mail had been severely-injUred.
Both his arms were drsabled, one of
his collar bones having been broken,
and he also sustained severe internal
injuries. Had he had aw prop* r ap
pliance for leading the animal*.,.the
affair would not have occurred. The
- recklessness with which a great many
owners ot such arTi*mals bundle them,,
cannot be too highly- condemned.
Exeter Times. .
Philosopher Mills has captured an
idea. In the House, tho other day
be said “it* was quite evident that the.
Franchise Bill bus been prepared
with a political purpose.. It was "said
the Orange and Bleu did-not harmon
ize well in the Cabinet, and that the
intention of the Bill was to so
Strengthen the bands of’tlle Orange
party as to enable thhm to run the
country alone.” If the Opposition
explain* much further . they will
show that the Franchise Bill is in
the interest of all classes of people.
They have held that it is going to
throw the balance of power into the
hands of the fishermen'; of tbeiand
lubber working men; of tenants who
pay only $20 W-year rent ; of the
bloated land owner; of farmer’s sous;
of tradesmen’s sons ; tff the uncivil
ized 'Indians ; of fhe»Romap Catho
lics'; and the last class that, this
“infamous” , Bill is going to give
po well’to is Orangeme.ii!. 1 ;
