BOWMANVJLLE, APIRIL 1, 1896. Hon. Mr. liard y has introduced a Bill in the Ontario Legisiature to reduce the number of County Councillors. Conservatives are opposing it.

The new seheme gives niine commissioners, who would cost $27 per day, a difference of $129 for each day 's session. Is that nothing to the ai - ready over-taxed rate p ayer?

Could such deep solid facts aud beart searcbing sermons be pros ohed trom our pulpits evcry1 three montbs, honi mueli faster the old gospel temperance chariot niheelsf would reli ou. We fully believe that the greatest powier against intemper- ance is vested lu the churches. Our ministers are eur leaders te a great ex- teut, aud nibat they shah preacli and teach the people, is ihat th6 people te a great degree will practîse. Oh1 then may tbey strike mightily with the bam- mer et their powier and thunder forth coustantly gospel temperance from our pulpits aiÏd thuslcecp the minds cf their hearers ever stirred up ou this import- ant aud luring cvii cf the ninteenth century.
