THERN TOWW NSHIPS.r
A matter on which we should h:
en last week, but frontan extreme
other business, is the laudable move
the Northern Townships of this Coi
the adjoining ones in Bruce, to
railway.
- The present scheme is an arrangement
with the Toronto " narrow gauge" to run
from Harriston through Howick Ford-
wich, near Leachville and Wroxe r, and
along the valley of the Maitland b ` Blue -
vale, Wingham, and Lucknow,- and thence
to Kincardine. It is claimed, and we be-
lieve justly too, by the promoters of this
scheme, that it would develops a lamer and
more prolific section of country, than a
road can by 'any other route in the north
country. No more fertile land exist in the
Province, we believe, than those to ips,
and at present though large produce in an
agricultural way, being situated so f from
market—in some cases over forty es-__
-the value of those products are so much
reduced as to offer but little s:tim us to
exertion. And, undoubtedly, the llrL€ itland
offers water privileges, for manuflfieuring
purposes, unsurpassed in Canada. : f ,the
sanguine hopes of the people of that section
of country are realized, we arc sure . that
some of the villages, above named, must be-
come important towns, and the- c ntral
marts of wealthy districts.
Enthusiastic meetings have been h Id in
WiLgham, -. Bluevale, Lucknow, arid ther
Places and everywhere there. are wa t-
able symptoms of liberal bonuses lug
awarded. In reducing the distributional
f the
proposed bonuses to calculations, it has
been shown that ten dollars per year to
each -farmer owning one hundred a res,
would be more than the adjustment. is
being the case, we are not amazed that the
farmers along, and near), the proposed r ute
should be so earnest in their efforts - to se-
rure a railway.
We said above, that the scheme was an
extension of the "narrow gauge." In
justice to the good sense of thisle
however, we must say that they have not
selected it as preferable to the ordinary
" wide gauge"- road, but, as they belive,
an only alternative. Furthermore we, think
that had they the remotest prospects of bb-
taining the latter, they would be will
to shoulder still heavier responsibilities, g
, in
the way of larger bonuses. Notwithsta d-
ing the sophistical arguments of the "Queen
City," they still' know
"what's wh."
But going on the principle that "a half -1
af
is better than no bread," they want the
"narrow gauge," believing that - it will
answer present purposes, and probablye
the prelude to something bent
g er--certain
it is a good common sense view.

part of the proposition, which declares that
the public should sustain the criminal courts,
but we take most decided exception, to the
extension that is sought to be made, by im-
posing any amount of this suppol t upon
single individuals. Because an individual
happens to be so cirTmatanced as to be
better evidence on a particular case, than -
other members of eoctety, wehold itto be

It is already. provided, that, in civil cases,

the one paid for,must be of the greater im-
portance. It bears no other rendering, ri-

tered an action, against the Strathroy Dis-
patch, for libel -Damages $4,000.
Fire was discovered on Wednesday night

gade were on the ground with their engine,
but were not able to subdue the .fames. In
a short time the building was one mass of
flames. A telegram was sent - to Preston

gade

superhuman exertions of the inhabitants.

fire, was saved by keeping the roof flooded
with water. Everything in the factory

" We regard the Hudson Bay Company's-
-government
as obsolete and never to be re-
- suscitated. The Dominion Government,
by its criminal blunders and- gross injustice
to this people, have forever alienated them,
and, by its forfeiture of all right to our re-
spect, will prevent us in future from either.
seeking or permitting its 'protection. The
Imperial Government, we consider to'be
too far distant intelligently to administer
our affairs.
The question arises, then, what form of
Government is best adapted_for the develop-
ment of this country 1 and we reply, unhesi-
tatingly, that the United States Republic
offers to -day that system of Government .
which would best promote 'order and -pro-
gress in our midst, and open up rapidir a
country of magnificent resources ; but in
our present dependent position we cannot
obtain what we need in thaw direction, and
hence we hold it to be our duty to advocate -
independence for the people of Red River -
as a present cure for public ills. Our An-
nexation to the States will follow in tinie
and bring with it the advantages this land'
so much requires."
