NMr -Robson should have theun- uinous votd of the north ward electors. as he spends more trne upon publie work titan any councilos of the town ever gave. Thereia lot oftalk las town bout a ring, composed, of Ètesers. Rutledge, King, Rossansd others. Ou thia point there ueed b. no doubt. The men à;med aud huudreds of others have been com-' pelled to sut together for years paut in detence of the town's interesa. êbout fifty of them are the largeat ratepayers ln town asnd if they do wrong itw*iilb. irn aes worse for dieraselvea tissu for those who are dolng thse loudeat bowling about it. It needs a stroug ring to keep out the clans of men who are standing candidates for office in this town, and whose records are more of self tissu of public spirit and houest goverument. It fla eno'ugh to make one tired to hear several of last year's council declariug that they allowed a minority to form a ring and run things over thse heads of the others, and yet flot one of them complais- ed during thc'whole yesr. The complais- ants muet waut us to believe tisey arec a lot of ninnies, which they muet be if w. believe themn. Hundreds have atteuded the council duriug thse year to sec Coun- Pringle'. shows, and every. one of them kuows that uotlnng of the sort was ever du. xcpt for Couin. Pringllesqub- blingusud bickerings tiser.e ulot been a more harmonious council for ycars. Messrs. Juo. Ferguson, nortis ward, aud Juo. Blow, soutis wsrd, were elected by acclamation to the board of -education, a well deserved compliment. They have both discharged tueur duties cou - scientiously aud efficiently. Mesurs. Fred. Eatch add Geo. A. Ross are run- uiug for trustee iu the centre ward. Mr. Ross was defested hast year bye two op- ponents, aud neyer woulcfhave 6d a seat at the ,board of education except for a fluke, wvhich let hlm lu by acclamation. He celebratcd his double defeat by takiug1 his advertisement out of tise CHRONicLE, which shows the breadth of mind he la able to briug to bear upon public business. Pive yeas ago our taxes wcre 2434 mille on the dollar, sud at tdat opr coun- cil was neglccting to rais. the sinking fuud for debenture debt, whicis would -have made the tax 2s % mille. To-day our council lu raising the eiu.king fuud money whould should have been rsised theu, aud $ooo besides to payoff tise Mowst Maufg. Col s. debt, and th. taxisl only 2-- iz mille. Two mille means $20o lu taxes yearly, sud tuat lu exactly what the CHRONICLE predicted would b. saved if -the old g% anw overturned. W. neyer predicted tat $2ooo would b. saved by auxalgamating offices, as was stated at the soutis ward meeting Wednesday nigst.

It ha been st con-, siderablefluancial dissdvsutage that the CHRoNicLE ha taken s strong haud lu this towu's politice for ten years, but we soughit to have s good council, aud suc- ceeded. For four years the town's affaire have been honestly and deceutly con- ducted, a thin;j whîch could flot be said before. We tire of haviug to forever urge the town to vote its best sutereets..

Au attempt was made to derail the ex- press eûÊt of here last week, by piling timbers across the track. Fortunstely the engineer was on the. alert and saw the obstructions in time to avert a great calaniity. Our village constable, and assistant C. P. R. detective, has gone east, presumsbly to arrest the guilty party or parties. More in our next cor. The Methndists of Claremont deserve ai prise for their pluck, perseverance and push for the last five years. At that time the trustees went a joint note ýfor 83864 to furnish the necessary funds to complet. their little.church." Rev. C. J. Dobson B.A., was the pastor and chief in-' strument ln causng the people to build et the time. Hia faith ln the. congregation was abundantly shown on New Yeats Day when he had the pleasure of seeing that huge debt go up in sînoke. The Metho. dist people here are now out of debt wltlw a nice balance on the right aide of the ledger. They determined to celebrate the eveat ln fitting style snd provlded the greatest of their hot dinners on New Years' nlght. Everything was suspicions, the weather prophet was ina good husmor and abundance of fowl and other necessarles, were on hand.
