GREY Township will receive 0852.37
from the Land Improvement Fund
Crown Land Department. Brussels will
share in the grant to a small amount,
their proportion being based on the asses-
sment of 1887, the year of Confederation,
and will amount to fifty or sixty dollars.
Now that the Local Option Prohibitory
law hos been sustained by the Courts and
Hon. Oliver Mowat's reputation as a great
Constitutional lawyer receivers another
attestation, we expect the temperance
element will begin another campaign
against the liquor tra0io. The Crooks
Act is said to be the best license law ever
placed upon the statute but we make bold
to say there are e. dozen amendments
required yet and it wont make what is
wrong right then.
BRUSSELS has too much plank sidewalk.
Not that it is not a oonvenionoo if not a
necessity, but the miles of plank end
cedar eoon decay and it is a continual
drain on the Municipal Treasury to keep
up even necessary renewals and repairs.
The way out of the difficulty is to son.
struct good gravel walks where the sides
of the streets are high enough to be above
surfaoe water and in the course of a year
good serviceable walks will be secured.
In some towns coal sareeninge are used
with good effect, the only objection being
the dirt carried into the house in wet
weather. Before another year goes past
there will be hundreds of yards of side-
walk needing attention and we advise
the Council, whoever they may be, to try
the plan mentioned above and prove the
correctness of what we say.
Wear's the matter with having the
names of the streets in Brussels painted
on small boards and placed at the corner
so as to enable the public generally to
locate the homes or shops of citizens
without being directed to take the second
turn to the right and it'sthe third house
past Mr. Smith's. The expenee would
not amount to much and the blunder
made in giving streets East and West of
Turnberry street two names would to a
certain extent be obviated. If our
townspeople took a little trouble in
ascertaiuiog the names of streets and
would use the same the different names
would soon become familiar and their
location equally clear. This is a forward
move and is being adopted by all the
towns and villages and as Brussels
always keep close to the head of the
prooession we hope to see some action
taken in placing the names in position
befer° long.
Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
WA8n7VGTON, Sept. 18. M.
In a visit to the Farmers' Alliance
headquarters in this city, some interest-
ing information was obtained by your
norrespondentin regard to the program
of the Alliance faction during the next
session of Congress. The Alliance
claims to have fifty•live men in the next
House who will vote with it on all the
measutes which it may see fit to bring
forward. It also claims four Senators-
Peffer, of fianeas ; Kyle, of South Da-
kota ; Irby, of South Carolina ; and
Vanua, of North Carolina. At the next-
session the sub.treaeury bill ee it was i n
the last Congress will not make its ap-
pearance. A bill constructed, however,
upon linea similar to it and embodying
the same principle, will be introduced
into both !douses and pushed to a vote.
The Stanford lend -loan bill wilt not be
touched by the Alliance, but a bill bear.
ing upon the same subject will be intro-
duced under Alliance auspices. Its
main feature will provide that any
citizen who owns and resides upon any
traot of land containing not less than
10 or more than 820 aores and who has
at least one half of that tract in aetual
cultivation, shall be entitled to apply for
and receive from the treasury of the U.
S. one-half the assessed value 01 the land
and the improvements on it, with inter.
est et therate of 2i per cent. per annum.
The Alliance will demand the passage of
a free•ooinage bill. It will also have in-
troduced a bill providing for Govern.
men!, control of railroads and telegraph
systems and bills to abolish the national
banking system.
Mr. Harrison made a very neat epeech
to the Georgia gentlemen in which he in•
timated that he would be very busy for
some time and said he could not give
them a definite answer about attending
the August Exposition. Mr. Harrison
does not intend, because of the inability
of a bead of a department to be on duty,
that the work of the department shall
come to a standstill. The President is
to be congratulated on hie determina-
tion to look after matters himself and be
will be universally applauded if he sno.
°Gado in breaking the crust of inborn-
petency that Lae been rampant in the
State Department during Mr. Blaine's
absence. A little lees airy snobbishness
and a good deal more open frankness ie
needed in that jaokaeeically solemn and
mysterious department. Shake it up,
Six. President.
51 is generally supposed that some of
the "important matters" demanding the
President's attention, referred to in
his speech, are the Welted methods of
certain Administration and Civil &mole°
reformers. In this day of hallelujah,
white -winged, and llarp•playing polities
noshing eau be more itnportztnt than to
reform and re•baptise the salute.
There appears to be More in the re-
cent assessment of Ohio Government
clerks by the Republican executive eon'
mittee of that State than the nubile
imagines and thole is a vast amount of
vigorous Melting on the part of the
slerks. The amount demanded, it ie
claimed, ie 5 per cent, of the salary
drawn. The clerks aro protecting euer-
getie.tlly against this and claim that by
the time they have paid their expenses
home to vote their aseeesment will be 0
or 7 per Dent. of their salary, and many
of them declare they will never pay it.
There is no doubt of the fact that there
ie a wall defined division In the remote of
the Ohio contingent in Washington. The
clerks and employees who are not within
the alleged protection of the oivll service
are protesting against the extent of their
assessment as ooznpared with contribu.
tions of the men in the classified eervioe.
The latter think they have done their
duty when they contribute 510. The
average amount expected from the others
1s 026 and this difference is what shakes
party fealty.
Gov. Hill, of New York, hes never ap.
plied for or received any part of the
money duo him ao salary as U. S. Sena.
tor, He ]las manifested his indifference
to his Senatorial honors in another way.
He has never asked to be assigned to a
Beat in the Senate chamber. One has
been aseigued to him, however, by the
Sergeant -at -arms of the Senate. It is in
the bank row ou the Demooratic side.
Perhaps no more undesirable location
could bo selected in the Senate chamber.
Peffar, Allianos, who succeeds Ingalls,
Republican, who will shake his long
whiskers over on the Republican side.
Much anxiety has been expressed as to
whether Senator Peffar would vote as Ile
sits. It seems to be the general impres-
sion that in most questions not affecting
the peculiar doctrines of the Alliance
Mr. Peffar will vote usually, with the Re.
publicans.
The World's lair commissioners to
Europe have returned delighted with
what they have seen, with what they
have eaten and with what they think
they have achieved. Prom England to
the "father of fairs" Nijni Novgorod, in
Russia, they scanned the situation, con-
ferring with the leading men in power
of most of the countries. Commissioner
Handy epitomizes the result in his state-
ment that they had travelled 15,000
miles and eaten enough dinners to last
a lifetime. It is hoped and expected
that all the governments of the old world
visited by the commissioners will be
properly represented at the Fair.
Mr. Blaine is to have a talk with Joe
Manley. Possibly then is to be a cam-
paign against Reed birds in the State of
Maine.

Catarrh
IS a blood disease. Until the poison Is,
expelled from the system, there can
be no cure for this loathsome and
dangerous malady. Therefore, the only
effective treatment is a thorough course
of Ayer's Sarsaparilla -the best of all
blood purifiers. The sooner you begin
the better ; delay is dangerous.
"I was troubled with catarrh for over
two years. I tried various remedies,
and was treated by a number of physi-
cians, but received no benefit until I
began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A
few bottles of this medicine cured me of
this troublesome complaint and com-
pletely restored my health." -Jesse M.
Boggs, Holman's Mills, N. 0.
"When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was rec-
ommended to me for catarrh, I was in,.
clfned to doubt its efficacy. Having
tried so many remedies, with little ben-
efit, I bad no faith that anything would
cure fns. I became emaciated from loss
of appetite and impaired digestion. I
had nearly lost the sense of smell and
my system was badly deranged. I was
about discouraged, when a riend urged
mo to try Ayer's Sereapatilla, and re.
(erred me to persona whom it had cured
of catarrh. After taking hall a dozen
bottles of this medicine, I am convinced
that the only sure way of treating this
obstinate disease is through the blood."
