The t y of l pation la that the 80sei0n will be brief. ANoaaw Fawley o, of Woodstock, Eat - tor of the Sentinel Review, reoeivod the Liberal nomination for North Oxford to summed Sir Oliver Mowat in the Ontario Legielative Assembly, on Tuesday, To be consistent the Liberate should dispense with the bar in the House of Commons and thereby prove that their notions and words run parallel An un- Iioeneed saloon should not be one of the necessary adjuncts to a House of Parite- leant. HON, fila. AVMs, Miniater of Railways and Canals, was nominated in Queen's and Sunbury, and Hon. Mr. Paterson, hlinieter of Customs, wee nominated for North Grey. Mr. Wilmot will oppose Mr. Blair and Mr. Paterson's opponent will be Mr. MaLeuehlan. Polling day is Tuesday next, August'25. Ton indinatioos appear to point that Government House, as far as its support by the Provinoe of Outari0 is concerned, will have to go as soon as Lieut. -Governor Kirkpatrick completes his tenure of office. A great many electors believe that a sal. ary eucb as this olffoial receives should enable ]rim to keep house on his own account. The question will oome cp for settlement et the next session of Parlia- ment. 11rn YADAia a large space in the leading daily papers is occupied in booming the gold mines of British Columbia and cer- tain mining fields in the U. S. A strong bid ie made for shareholders and in the majority of eases the amount asked ap- pears to be so small for such great ex. pectations that many people are led to bite at the golden bait and usually get hooked all right. There may be gold in these mines and an occasional investor may make a pull but our advice, while far off fields may loon greeu, is to leave gold mines, hundreds of miles distant, severely alone and depend on ordinary means of accumulating wealth or making a livelihood. Ix is with no small amount of personal regret that we record the decease of Hon. W. D. Balfour, Provincial Secretary, which sad event took place in his apart- ments in the Parliament Buildings, To• ronto, Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock, surrounded by the members of his fem. ily. Hemorrhage of the tangs was the pause. The funeral takes place at St. Oatbariaea, where the family burial plot is, on Friday. Dir. Balfour, associated with Jno. A. Auld, were the proprietors of the Echo, Amhoretburg, Essex County. Deceased was 14 years in Provincial poli- tics, faithfully representing South Essex and the Province generally, and his end - den death, after a weelt'o illneee, will be a dietinat lova both to the House and the country. Although never a robust man Mr. Balfour was a moat active Wad ener- etic ono with an iudomitable will in carrying out whatever project he attempt- ed. It is particularly sad that just as be reached the zenith of his ambition that he should be taken away. He leaves a wife and family. Tis Poe'o believes that a Business Dlene' Association should be organized in 13ruseels to transact 'tininess along such lines as a Board of Trade, in the way of encouraging au increase of manufactories ; an extension of industries already estab• liehed ; studying ways and means of ad. vancing the interests of our town on var- loue l=ees that plight suggest themselves to such en organization having the future ce welfare of Brussels in mind.
