The Dominion parliament met yesterday, heard the speech [rom thethtrone, sud ad- journed tiii next week. In Monitreai Centre on Frlday, Hon. jas. McShane, Lib., was returtied, and on Tues- day the Liberais carried Jacques Cartier, both hy big mjorities. Both were previous- ly represented by Conservatives. Messrs. Jno. Shaw and R. J. Fleming are candidates for the mayoralty of Toronto. Mr. R. R. Loscombe is mayor of Bowmas- ville for the fourth year ln SucCession. Ail the other affices iu that town were filled by acclamation The candiaates iu Daringtos are : Reeve-J F Pollock, Levi Vaucanp - ist deputy-T Paseot, S J Williams; 2nd deputy-L M Courtice, accl.; councilors-A E Clemiens, R Foster, C Osborne. The foi. Iowing counicils have been returned by ac- clama.tion in this vicinity: Pickering, Ux- bridge tp.. Reach, Whitby t-p., E Wb*itby, Bowmanvillee, Beaverton. The object in most cases was the saving of expense. We do flot remember an occasion when so many municipal counciiors were clected by acclamation as has bee'î t-he case t-bis year. Our municipal svsttmn is 50 nearly perfect any council of sensible, progressive, honest men can hardly fail to give satisfaction. The law has a contcoliing influence, and tht ratepa%'ers are so welI posted as t-olt-s provi- sions that mistakes imnmediately cômie to light. and those who commit t-hem are dis- carded. People used t-o surround, tht stan- dard of spouiers anld demagogues, -bt tht day f jhumbugging le past. and sensible blasin ýs [mien are lu quest-. Vis t-le array ottabie candidates has becomne widened l5y e.,?perience. and tht result bas been satis- factoi y. Dr. McGillivary did well at tht nomnia- tions on Mouday t-o cail the attent-ibu t-o the magnificent additions which havé this year been made t-o tht Ontario Ladies Coliege.. Wfien citizens of Toronto, and frein other part-s of tht Province, join wît-h ours ln advancing an institution of such great worîb and importance in oui midst,' veil may our Whitby people spur tbemnselves te usited action to make tht old town go forward. It is unity we lack here. W. have mes wbose eni>' study is te oppose and detract, sot only tht town, but also those wbo seek t-o sdvau'c tht towu.
