Hon. 31r. Hardy, in tvsponse to well - expressed piddle opinion, has brought in a bill to improve county councils, in substitution for .the measure first laid before the Legislature. Instead of being elected by the MVOS and depu- tiee. as at first proposed, the new ' snetieure provides that the election of county councillors shall be by direct popular vote. Each county is to be divided into districts, according to the number of members to be elected, but there will be a radical eeduction in the number of members now qualified to sit. Each district will elect two rep- resentatives, who will each hold office for a term of two years. The elections will he held at the same time as the manicipel elections. thenominations of eandidates being made with thecounty clerk. as in the first draft of the bill. Every elector, will be entitled tOtwo votes. which lie an give te mut or two candidates„ as he sees fit. There will be no gerrymandering, as the bill pro- videe for two boards of commissioners —one for comities east of Toronto and the other for comities west—consist- ing of four judges, whose duties will be to define the boundaries. The come anissioners will be appointed and. paid by the Government.. This is a follow- ing out of the British principle. In the amended shape Mr. Hardy's pro- posals will no doubt meet witiggeneral indorsation and become law. NOTE'S AND COMMENTS. --- A table of the horse trade of Great Britain shows that the importation of horses during 1801 numbered 23,100 , head, of which 5.425were from Canada, that 'colony supplying more than any other colony, the United States, Ger- many.' and Russial following in me .der named. In 1895 the imports of hoeses reached 34,157, andthe Dominion led again, furnishing 12,008. There were but a. few from Russia, while •. there was a consideitable decrease - from Germany, and from, the . United ' States there were 10,41, as compared • with 4,823 the preceding year. The revenue for the pat month shows the gratifying increase of $300;- - .000, emnpated with February, 1805. A • quarter of a niilhion of this is due to •••.custenes and $50,000 to excise. The total revenee for the eight months of e. the Year is exactly two tin millions ahead • of e same period last year, while the expenditure is one million less, a net • increase of three millions in the eight enonths. Cotrespendingly, the expen- diture eu capital account has decreas- ed $6:30,000, less than for the •sanie period lastyear, The net debt in Feb- ruary decreased $070,000. x The Ith of March was settling day in the wholesale drygoode trade throughout the Dominion. Merchants report, that payments were better than they expected. There was a large amount of drygoods paper due, and although assistance was asked for by ,a few country merchants, the bulk of the obligations were fairly well. met. Payments we reported BIOWer in the . city than in the country, but Toronto retailers have met their obligations to the satisfactioa of the wholesalers. Banks, as usual, report paper as well mot as ever, and do not anticipate any „trouble in the near. futere. A physieian at Owen Sound has SOEtt a communication to the Provincial Health Department, which contains some haforination regarding lunap-jaw in the County of Grey. Three boarders in a hotel in Chesley contracted cans cer, one of whom died, and the other two are in a dangermis condition. The meat supplies were procured from a farmer, whose cattle were affected with lump -jaw. The Provincial Board of Health will investigate the matter immediately. ,Another letter to the Board from the Mayor of Seaforth urges that the Government be pre- vailed upon to introduce a bill at the present session a the Legislature, pro- viding for the establishment of slaugh- ter houses and abattoirs in differeut sections of Ontario. 71 - The day of the Salvation Army in America is drawing to a close; Alt the ability and resources of the old General and his family will not stand against the influenee of the "American Commanders," as Ballington Booth. and his wife are called by their follow- ers. The strength of the patriotic sentiment of the people of the United States will be called into activity to maintain what will without doubt be called the _American Army,and the British organization will languish and die in spite of anything that can be done. it is devoutly to be hoped that in the process there will not be the bitter recriminations that so frequent- ly arise from religious disputes and which bring contempt upon the cause of Christianity. The amendment to the Remedial Bill whirl), Major Hughes proposes to introducer which, involves a change in the 13. N, A. Ad, Weald forever settle the sehool queetioa, if the Inn, perial Parliament would sanction it. The feature of the proposal is that for the Dominion of Canada there should be one system of National education, embracing the intellectual branches, including mathematics, history, geo- graphy, English, and other languages, literature, the arts and the sciences ; theprinciples Of morality ; and poll - Heal and sanitary science. Religious instruction shoula not form any part of the edueation of the schools ; but those who have control of the building would be itt liberty to allow the struet- mess to be used for religious purposes if they chose. 4 The Mail Tuesday morning publishes the following from Ottawa:— "Mr. Laurier is Making the fight of his life to keen the French Liberals in line with hun and his shifty school policy. As persuasion has in several instances adready failed, and as there is danger of a spread a the defection, the Lib- eral leader has now decided to resort to eoercion. The threat he has offered, aceording to a well-informed member of Parliament, is that if his friends do not stand by him he will resign the leadership of the Opposition. They have, therefore, to choose between making the school question a party feet ball for their leader tokickaround as he ehoosest, or to throw the Liberals into 0 panic just before an election by his resignation. This is the argument that is being used to bring the doubt- ful Rouges to a frame of mind to vote for the six months' hoist. It reveals an extraordinary state of affairs in the Liberal camp." WholesamMurder Shortly after :noon :Tuesday a man muned Lapoint came on the streets of Brockville carrying a gun. He met an old num named Peter Moore, and raising his gun, deliberately shot him death Chief Of Police Rose, who was just coming from his office, ran in the direction ot the report, and upon seeing him, Lapoint again took steady aim and fired., the shot taking effect in the breast and head. An old. Indiannamed Dickson, who was standing near, re- ceived a charge in the Reek from the other barrel. Constable Tinsley then appeared. Lapoint had. his pocket full of cartridges, and was shooting right and left at random. Tinsley got be- hind cover and endeavored to shoot Lapoint, but failed. He then got be- hind a door of a grocery store, and, partly opening it, had juet took aim, when repaint fired, the charge taking effect in Tinsley's head and neck. A. young man who was in the store ran upstairs, and from a window fired at Lapoint, wounding him. Lapoint turned and fired into the window, after which he fell exhausted to the ground. He was captured and lodged in the police station. Chief Rose is terribly injured and will probably die. Constable Tinsley is badly wounded and will d 1 e.
