I thought my former answer to his

that, as he wrote over a fiotitioue

manly for any person to try to de.
fame another's character over a ficti-
tious name, au d ib ie high time that a
stop should be pub to suoh auony-
mous writings. Why was the omie-
sion of the gaidos to voters put in
print at all ? If not with the objeob of
lowering me in the et timation of the
readers of ths TIMES ; iu this respect
id not the spirit that prompted the
artiole in 1884 identioal with the pre-
sent ? It is with reluctance I re-
sume the pen in this matter, but when
I ana assailed I will defend myself.
Had Mr. S, been my friend he (if he
considered I had committeed a fault)
would have cautioned me privately,
not held me up to public scorn by
nestling to the press. Subscriber
states I lamely endeavoured to reply.
I thought my reply would be Betide()
tcry to any person. 1 took, as 1
thought, the proper steps under the
circumstances to get the necessary
papers. Subtoriber saye my sending
for them does not exculpate me from
blame. I sent to Termite for the
guides because I did not know wheth-
er Mr. Moir would print them or get
them in Toronto himself, as he was
away from home on Monday and
Tuesday, and there was no time to
loose, and I saw they would have no
time to get thetn up. I thought best
to send for thein and run the risk,
but unfortunately the papers did nob
come in time. aey motives are im-
pugned by. "Subsoriben" Would
"Subscriber" be kind enough to state
wherein I acted wrong, and what
he would have done had he been iu
my place, or what I should have done?
"Subscriber" winds up with : "Will
Mr. Prouty take a little advice from a
ratepayer and not allow a similar oc-
cuorenoe again ?" I consider this
very insulting, neither honorable nor
gentlemanly, when he knows hill well
no blame oould possibly be attached
to me in connection with said affair.
Would it not be well if a committee
of five or more persons were selected,
and this matter discussed by "Sub-
scriber and myself before them, and
let their deoision be finaL, "Subeorib•
er" to name the time and piece. A
newspaper balk on this subject would
be productive of no good. Should
"Subscriber" reply I hope hells:ill ties

A meeting of sympathizers with the
late Mr. Riel was called at Coteau sta-
tion, near Montreal, on Monday, but
the gathering was so sow that the
organizers saw there was nothing to
be gained by addressing it, so it Witt;

lost cause and a forgotten man.
"A CANADIAN" teritea from Dallas,
Texas, to say that there is every pro-
bability that the murder of the young

dining -room of au hotel at Waco by a

had an altercatiou. From papers

that the coroner's jury has found
Graham guilty of homicide and that
he has bean released �u bail, the lat-

DURING winter in Northeru Iowa
each farmer has a rope extending
from his house to his barn door. Oo
visiting the barn he seizes the rope
and follows it until he arrives at the
barn. If the blizzard has broken the
rope at the house and the farmer has
to remain indoors ; if at the barn end
he follows the rope and desoribes
3irole around the bouee with it until
he findthe lost barn. These pecu-
liar customs are resorted to in order
to get even with the weather. In

THE Reform papers, it is gratifying
to note, are waxing enthusiastic over
the provisions of the Franchise Aot.
Says the Brookville Recorder of the
51h; "Undo, the Dominion Fran-
chise A.ott, the lists for which are now
being prepared, there aro scores of
young men in this town who will be
entitled to vote, who have not hitheta
to enjoyed that privilege. It is the
duty of thane younee men to see that
their names are placed on the new
list. It costs nothing, involves no
,payment of taxes, and the privilege
should therefore be eagerly soughe."
The Mon I reit! Witness of the 11th
Coy.; "We world like bo see labourers
and the workmen in manufactories
gnalify as eagerly as otter &asses
have done. If a workingman is over
twentenone years of age he has in all
probability the right to vote. The
franchise is practioally Manhood
sufferage. Citizens from all division's
will be welcome." And it is this
iiheral measure, which weloonees
"citizeus from all divisions; that the
Reform politiciane in Parliament de -

The Riel Polley Condemned.
The Globe in making such loose as
tertions is doing far more injury to
the .Roforrn party than to the Domin-
ion Goverument. Mr. 13leke in his
London speech said that the oetoluct
of the Minister of Justice, al a rule,
should tot be a 811bied of aritioi8m,
since his position is a peculiarly tiy-
iug one. Mr. Blake line filled the of.

contrary, atteillpte iu itn underhited
way to convey iho impression that
Riel was executed in cold blood.
Such en insinuation, coming from a

NEWS NOTES.
Of an Interesting Character.
Those officers and men whose
claims for injuries received or sick -
netts conteaoted during the North -
Wert campaign were heard before the
medical and military boards in, Tor-
onto, had their ehequee forwarded to
them Saturday.
The reports of the damage to the
orange crop of Fluids by the recent
cold soap were much exaggerated.

very slightly injured, and give pro-
mise of a fair (mop the present year.

man Digns, hie burned up ngain. It
is reported that he has occupied Tani.

last killed, and this information as to
where he is, is stareling. It was the
popular impression that he and El
Mithdi had taken undisputed posses-
sion of the other place.

The orgument by which it is defernled
is that meet lady teachers look for-

would be a fair scale of pay—graded

lowest figure proposed is $365, and

Ottawa, Feb. 6,—It is undevelood
that early is the spring the govern -
mane will send another ecunuaissiou
through the Northwest Territories to
make a thorough inveetigation and
report upon loess sustained by the
farmers and abbots through the re-
cent rebelliou. Such was the assur-
ance made a member of the North-
west council deputation at present iu
the city, by a minister of the orowu
to day. Those who have euffered iu
the North have as yet only reoived
a trifling pibtanoa. The government
have not yet paid but very few of
those who sustained lotses. The
deputation to day interviewed Hou.
Mr. Caron, minister of militia, and
defence, principally iu regard to the
war claims. It appears that the
valunteer troope at Edmonton who
served duriug the rebellitn , have not
beau remunerated sufficieutly, and
their clahns will be pressed by the
deputation.
Meant, J. H. Ross, W. D. Parley
and Dr. Wilsou. the deputat;on from
the Northwest council had an inter-
view with Hon. T. While, minister
of the iuterior. which lasted nearly all
day yesterday. The deputation ez.
peened to succeed in obtaining. au
icnproveinent in the method of pre-
emptiou sales of land. Ono of the
most important requirements of the
deputation is an ante ision of the
executive powers of the Northwest
council, such as the privilege of in•
curporating oompauiee and the handl-
iug of their owu funds. Tae latter
ooncessiou the deputetiou confidently
expected bo be favored with. The
lieutenant governor of the teriituries
is now absolutely all powerful, and a
curtailment of his authority is de-
manded by the deputation. The
inhabitants of the Northwest seem to
be very much dissatisfied with the
lieutenant -governor possessing almost
arbitrary rule, The permit system
has brought the lieutenant governor
into great disrepute, and the depute
tion will seek a remedy in thus re-
aped by asking the assistanoe of the
federal authorities in devising a
scheme that will satisfactorily curb
and govern bbs liquor traffio, and at
the same time appease any dissatis-
faetion that may exist. It is most
likely that a mommissiou will be ap•
pointed.
