Wnosn interests were the teachers of East Huron considering, we wonder, when et the recent Convention they voted to hold the next meeting of the Amami - ration at Clinton, the very extreme of the inspectorate ? The probabilities are that scores of the teachers will not attend Ana to please the whims of a few who worked the case lip no small amount of injury will be done the Association. Ie. appears they do the "combination" businere in the Old Country as well as this. The latest is the Salt Trust, and this democratic body hoe raised the price of common salt, which was sold at the very low figure of 00 c=ots per ton, to $2.25 per ton. Quarried salt, for export has risen from $2.00 to $3.75. Judging from the tone of the English press there is trouble ahead and the British Pallia• ment will be asked to pees such legis- lation as will control, to a certain extent, this and similiar monopolies While they are about it they might as well try and secure our white elephant, the N.P., and they could strangle them all at the same time. IT is now China's turn to threaten re- taliation, and it has this advantage over Mr. Cleveland, that it has something to retaliate for. Where there is no injury the word retaliation is morally false and, therefore, morally weak. The American people have never been afraid of para- doxes and contradiction. The cry of the bird of freedom from its peroh on the national standard about human equality found sarcastic echo in the ory of the slave. It is less barbarous, but not less contradictory, to bear religions orators growing eloquent on Eastern platforms about the land that has opened her doors to the down -trodden of all nations at the very moment when heathens are plead- ing vainly for admission at its golden gate. Africa could not retaliate for slavery but China can retaliate for ex - exclusion. THEY are having a nine little time in Manitoba over the railroad squabble. The C.P.R. is playing the dog in the manger trick and although the injunction is in their favor at present the new road will be built in spite of all their obstructions. Attorney•General Martin stated that it is the intention to continue conatrpction of the Portage extension by building a spur from the proposed crossing to the main highway, and teaming supplies and ma- terial over it. His idea is to ley some track west of the C.P.R. branch and then get a locomotive dragged around to it over the main highway. Truoke will then be used to convey rails up to the C. P. R. track and, in fact, to run rails right over the track. It must look childish indeed to see a C. P.R. railway locomotive either "anchor- ed" or running backward and forward at highway crossings to hinder men from hauling rails, &c., for the construction of the new road across the C.P.R. track. We wonder what the thousands of dol- lars granted to the Canadian Pacific Railway by the Dominion Government at a recent session was for ? A meeting of the Manitoba Legislature will be call. ed at once to discuss the situation. THE NEW BONUS LAW. On Thursday November let, the amendments to the Municipal Ant re- specting bonuses to manufacturers be. came law, and the evils of the system will now bo almost annihilated. The following are the sections of Mr. Balfour'° Bill, which passed the House: - 10. The said Act is amended by adding thereto the following as section 820 (a):— 820(a)7(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding seotion of this Act the vote of two-thirds in the affirm- ative of the ratepayers, who are entitled to vote upon any by-law granting aid to or for promoting the establishment of at manufactory or manufacturing establish. ment, or for lending money to such com- pany, parson or establishment, or guaran- teeing the payment of money borrowed in any munimpality, shall be necessary in order 10 the carrying of the bylaw, and the words "two fifths," where they appear in the said preceding section shall not apply to the passage of each by-law, and for the purposes hereof the said motion shall be read as if the words "two thirds" instead of "two-fifths" were inserted therein. (2). No municipality shall grunt a bonne to a manufacturer under this seotion who proposes to establish an industry of a similar nature to one already established in such municipality without any such bonus.; (8) No bonus ()hall be granted by a municipality to secure the removal there- to of an industry already established elsewhere in the Province. (4) No municipality shall granta bonus in aid of any manufacturing industry, whore the granting O4 entail bonne wOu1d, for its payment, together with the pay. anent of similar bonuses already granted by said municipality, require an annual - levy for principal and interest, exceeding tonpor cent. of the total annual rntlnici- pal taxation thereof, (0) This section shall not apply to the districts of Muskoka, Parry Sound, Algo• ma Last and Algoma West, or to any of the municipalities therein, nor shall it affect any by.law heretofore adopted or passed, the vote taken thereon or the bonds or debentures issued or to be issued in pursuance thereof. ALnrwr complaints are "rade, by per- sons hauling grain to Brussels, of the bad condition of the gravel road north and south of this place. For some oras. On, we know not, the usual expenditure of $200 in gravel has not been made this year, although we believe both Grey and Morris Councils did not object to the ap- propriation of this sum. Brussels bas a good market, that's a settled fact, but have eve any right to have our grain trade diverted to other towns for the look of a little attention being paid to the leading roads ? The small amount ex- pended other years, although altogether inadequate to the amount necessary to do the work properly, kept the road in the worst places in fairly good repair, but this year even that is nob forthcoming. In ease we have an open winter or brok- en weather this Fall and next Spring the necessity of attention to this very im. portant matter will be more apparent than now. Of course we are aware that a small amount of statute labor was done this year but it is not a drop in the buck- et of what is required. Who is to blame for this apparent neglect? is the question that is asked. This is a subject of in- terest to not only the people of Brussels but to all persons who have to travel the gravel road, and it is too bad to allow this public: highway to be neglected for the sake of a few hundred dollars. Creareaa•din.m N e -w . Sarnia has a smallpox case. Judge Monk, of Montreal is dead. Wiser's distillery at Prescott was de- stroyed by fire. The C.P.R. has reduced its grain rates from Winnipeg General Laurie, Conservative, was re- eleoted in Shelburne, N. S., by a majority of 45.

Sleeman has made up bis mind to run for the Mayor. alty of Guelph next year. Great efforts are being made to do away with the toll -gate on the Port Bur- well Road near Tilsonburg. No new cases of small -pox are report- ed in the townships of Georgina and North Gwilliamsbury, Ont. Brantford carried by-laws to raise $180,000 end $10,000 for water -works and drill shedpurpoees respectively. Berlin will be entitled to a third Dep- uty -Reeve next year, and will then have four representatives in the County Conn- ell. The Markham village by-law, to raise $7,500 in debentures for water works, was voted on and carried by a majority of 24. Judge Killam has given judgment in favor of the C.P.R. and continued the in- junction against the Manitoba Govern- ment. A. D. Stewart, late Chief of Police of Hamilton, has opened out an office at Toronto where he will carry on a general anotion and commission business. James Goldie, of Guelph, has re- ceived from England a pair of swans, the first ever brought to that vicinity. They will form quite an addition to his birds.

Edward Stanley is expected in Canada during the winter, to aesums the duties of aide.de-camp to His Exoe11- ency, and he will probably be accompan- ied by his bride. At Owen Sound the steamer Campana was seized on Monday for an infraction of the customs laws, but was subsequent- ly released on a small bond, and left there) on time on the following afternoon for Port Arthur. A swindler styling himself Rev. F. J.

The New York Herald devotes 2i col- umns of space to a series of articles on "Canada's Grip," showing that the only navigable channel in Detroit river is in Canadian territory and all the cost of im • proving that channel has been paid by the United States. The Herald also publishes a map of the Lime•Kiln Cross. ing. The Hsarld says :—"Froin the standpoint of a retaliation policy, the feature of chief importance is found in the fact that the only channel navigable for large vessels lies in Canadian tent. tory and if channels are to be closed by anybody, Canada holds the trump card," Miss Hannah Boyd, the girl who was arrested in connection with the Galt poisoning case, and who was remanded to the Berlin Jail, where she has boon confined for the bast week, returned home to her parents to Hamilton Monday in oempany with her brothee.in-law, JIr.

THE BRUSSELS POST Mns. F. 0. Roams begs to thank the Ladies for the large amount of patronage accorded her last week during the days of our Millinery Opening. Every Lady who paid us a visit pronounced it to bo without exception the finest display ever seen in Brussels. Owing to the large crowds during our opening days some Ladies may seemingly not have received proper attention, if so we owe them an ample apology and hope with our beauti- ful display, which will bo continued the whole month, to receive the orders from those Ladies who have not yet made their purchases. ivfiss GREEN, our obliging and tasteful Milliner, feels justly proud of the high onconiums passed on her and for which she begs to return every Lady her sincere thanks.
