FRIDAY, JAN. 9, 1891.
SEISIRISY Home, the returning ofeoer
for North Perth, has issued hie proolaut•
&Won, announoiug Friday 16th as Pomin-
Delon day and the 23rd as polling day.
Nexe Tuesday evening Sir Riohard J.
tetrtwright will address a public meeting
in the Agricultural Hall, Wroxeter,
meeting to commence at 7:30 o'clock.
An euergetie local Committee have the
preliminary arrangements in hand and
they are preparing for a big crowd to
hear Sir Richard dismiss the Trade ques•
tions of the day. Many who have heard
him iu the past will be glad to again
have an oppontunity of listening to him.
How is it that every Grand Jury meet-
ing at the county town present strong
pleas for a House of Refuge in Huron
County, yet when members of the County
Council attempt to even ask for privi-
leges to secure to necessary information
to thoroughly understand the matter a
fell stop is put 'to the proceeding by a
stubborn vote. We hope this very im-
portant question will be kep. before the
people and that the oppoeitioniets will at
least have the fairness to allow the facts
and figures to be placed before the in-
telligent, charitably disposed electorate.
THE Pose congratulates M. Y. McLean,
of the Huron Expositor, on his election
to the position of Reeve in the town of
Seaforth. Mae. will make s. careful
legislator at the Council Board and will
not take a "bath seat" at the county par-
liament. H. G. Hearin, of the Seaforth
Sun, was also elected to the town coun-
cil. Editor Bryan, afthe Luoknow Sen-
tinel, was saved the bother of an election
by having 'the iubcdf placed in his hands
for 1.69e "hy AttelarneAion. The news-
paper men b'eve as good a right to innni.
honors at anybody else, if they de-
sire them.
Ws are pietteedif; noticethat the cash
system of doing business is slowly win-
ning ite way in Brussels. Every busi-
ness man believes in it and rants and
rears abeut the folly and toes of the cre-
dit plan of working, yet we appear to
emit alters to do the experimenting as
to the Teal benefit of "Pay as yon go."
Whet will a man who does a ;ash busi-
ness be etwved ? Loss of goods, money,
tim^, werrry and bad Viands. Surely if
there were no other reasons these shou'd
seam, Business men can sell cheaper,
if doing a each trade and eensequently
it will be a saving to the customers of a
good many dollars in a year.
WE urge, as we have done before, the
necessity of an iuquest being held over
Sunday evening's fire so as to arrive at
the tads of the mese as far as possible.
We are aware that some "big heads"
pooh.pooh the idea but if witnesses were
examined, evidence taken, and twelve
ins o permitted to bring in a ver•
diet, some satisfactory resale would be
arrived at, we have no doubt. The re.
peeked fires in Brussels do not tend to
elevate us before the eyes of the world,
more especially when no proper steps are
taken to ascertain the cause of the des-
trnetion of valuable property. The in-
surance companies have their eyes open
and are taking stock of this and other
