Hon. Thomas Greenway, Premier of
Manitoba,bag been in Montreal several days
the objeot of his visit was to look after
immigration and other matters in which
his Province was interested. He hoped for
larger immigration to Manitoba this year
than last. They intended to try the system
of having immigrants oonduoted personally
by the Government agents from Great Bri-
tain. Farm hands in Manitoba, he said,
were in great demand. He thought Quebec
farmers would find it more to their advan-
tage to go to Manitoba than into the States;
he did not ooneider that the difficulty with
the schools would have any effect on im-
migration. His Government was disposed
to remedy, if possible, any grievance under
which the minority might suffer.
In accordance with an order in council,
approved by his Honor the Lieutenant•
Governor, means will be shortly taken to
carry out the provisions of an act paeaed
at the repent session of the Legislative
Assembly, entitled "An Ant to reduce the
number of County Councillors."
The actrovtes a coon d that t councils
shall after the present year be composed
of members elected directly by the mun-
icipal eleotors of county council divisions,
instead of the reeves, as heretofore; that
the county councils shall hearafter consist
of from eight to eighteen members inclusive
according to the popalation of the county,
and that the counties shall be divided into
county council divisions, from fear to nine
inclusive, according to such population,
and there shall be elected two county coun-
cillors from eaob division.
The following county court judges have
been selected to divide the Province into
districts. S. J. Jones, Brant; W. H. Wil-
kison, Lennox; A.. Bell Kent; W. W. Dean,
Victoria; W. S. Senkler, Lanark; John
:Jreasor, Grey; T. M. Benson, Northum-
berland andDurham; 0. R. Horne, ..Essex;
Peter O'Brian, Prescott andRussell, and
L. B. Doyle, Huron. Judges Jones, of

The Lord's Day Alliance.
The following is extracted from a
letter received by Rev J. W. Holmes,
in answer to his, enclosing $8 and six-
teen additional names as members of
the Alliance. It will he remembered
that a telegram conveying a part of
these additional names was sent ahead
of the letter, and was received by the
Secretary in time to be read at the
public meeting. After acknowledging
the receipt of the names and the mo-
ney, the letter reads, "Your telegram
was read at our meeting on Friday,
and was received with hearty applause.
It is a very encouraging fact that so
many names were obtained as addi-
tional members. We appreciate vel'y
much the interest shown ,in your
town." It is satisfactory to know that
this effort in Clinton to strengthen the
hands of those who are seeking to
plead the cause of the ane -day -in -seven
for God and for man, did not fail of its
effect, though the Globe report entire-
ly omitted to notice the encouragin
message and the "hearty applause."
May the young men whose names
formed so large a proportion of that
additional sixteen, think more of the
precious day than ever before, and
may each one of there learn to ponder
the question "What can I do to keep
that day to our land and all her peo-
ple ? How can I lay a hand of power
upon those who ate bound to pour
down the throats of their every -hungry
money -making machines, not only
their own souls and Sabbaths, but the
Sabbaths and the souls of all the work-
men in their employ, and of all the
rest of the population that cotne under
their shadow. ANNA Roes.
Political Pointers
Sir Charles Tupper has given a promise
to the Conservatives of Cape Breton county

erals will have a majority of from 15 to 20

detailed statement of the present condition
of the contest in bis constituency and a re-
port of the work being done to secure suc-
cess. For the present the general over-
sight of the Patron contest in this Pro-
vince is in charge of Mr Mallory. It is in-
tended to shortly open Patrcn campaign
headquarters in Toreinto with a general
agent to have supervis'on and direction
of the organization.
Mr Cameron, of Huron, speaking in the
House on the Franchise bill, said that if
the Minister of Juetice would just evince
a little courage and repeal the Franchise
Act it would save the necessity of the con-
stant appeals to Parliament for the purpose
of suspending its operation. The measure
was a mischievous and expensive one.
In one municipality and in half of anather
municipality in Huron the lists were not
revised in 1894, so that at the next election
the polling in these districts would be upon
tete five or six years old, In Goderioh he
was acquainted with ten property owners
who had been for thirty years, but whose
names had in 1894 been left off the lists.
tecores-of names struck off.by the revising
barrister had re -appeared in the printed
lists. Snores of names which bad been
added by the revising barrister were not to
be found in the printed lists. It was un-
ueoessary for him to Bay which were the
Conservative and which the Liberal.
Mr. Henry Smith, the wholesale fanoy

The Montreal protestant Ministerial
Association discussed their resolution on
the misconduct of oertain members of Par-

clearly defines its position, and reiterates
the charge, which, it says, was admitted
by the speakers for the defence themselves.
The Wyoming Enterprise comments ou
the curious coincidence that the name of
agre,.t many recent murderers commence
with the "letter H., and names Hooper,
Hartley, Hyams Hendershott, Hayward,
Holmes and Hammond. And the Sarnia
Post remarks that the Enterprise man

fact that murderers of this 011183 are all
heading for a place the name of which be-
gins with the same letter. And it isn't

JAMES STEEP, Clinton,
The Couservatives of Winnipeg are at a
loss to know where to get a candidate.
All the pressure brought to bear on Hugh
John Maodonald has failed, and E.lL.
Drewry, who was the second choice, pleads
failing health as an excuse. The most
likely man under the circumstances is ex•
mayor Thomas Taylor, who was defeated
in the recent Provinoial election in that
pity, If Joseph Martin retires it may be
taken for granted that Isaac Campbell, Q.
C., will be the Liberal candidate.

ing for another convention, at which, it is
said, Mr Marter's name will be submitted.

To the Owners of Lots in
Clinton Cemetry.
All parties who desire to have their lets look-
ed after must pay ;personally or remit the an-
nual tee to the Inspector, R. Reynolds, on or be-
fore the 1st day of May 1896. Again we would
respectfully remind a number of owners of. Lots
that there are still some in disorder, andthat
many have remained in that state for years.—
Some tomb -stones are covered with moss, eotne
are leaning, while others have fallen out of the
base and a number are broken. Unless owners
assist the Committee in removing fences,
hedges, shrubs and running plants, we cannot
make God's acre as neat and attractive in ap.
pearance as we would like. All we ask is the
very reasonable assistance of those who are dlr-:;,
ect'y interested to snake the Clinton Cemetery
what it should be -a pleasant place to visit and
view, and to realize that the graves of loved
ones are being properly' looked after. Atpres-
ent such is really not the,ease. The living will
surely preserve the memory of the dead. Kind.
ly see that these matters are attended to.
