Burying up their "big guns" go far "0 prove that hostilities are near.-- " From present appearances both armies will soon be fully equipped and in marching order; the L. C. of North Ontario intend selecting their Jeaders for both Parliaments on Friday, 7th inst. and it is hoped and expected that a careful and judicious selection shall be made, men who may be more anxiods for the duties than the glitter of office, men who will seek more to secure the public interest than personal advantage, men who will endeavor fully to com- prehend their duties and fearlessly f perform them. The worthless ; eraven who would seek to sectire the honorable position of representative of a free people by dishonorable ; means is fit only to represent fools and knaves. Cooking delegations and manipulating rings are a disgrace to any, party deprive electors of a free choice and force upon the constitu- encies mereénary tools alike unfit for and unworthy of the position. The position is both honorable and important when fairly won and is worth contending for, but under no . circumstances is it worth crouching for and the man who willscrape and ~ beg and become the tool of a ring in order to obtain the pesition is more be pitied than envied aad could furnish no better proot of his un- worthiness ; better bave no repre- 'sentative than have a sinister "stand . @1d deliver" whone first and only sim - is personal advantage, pocket in- fluence. : Trans-Atianto. B British affairs cannot be sald to be at all satisfactory, political matters are being strained to their utmost tensiob and may nap at any moment. Gladstone's mussle scheme fs derogatory to all concerned; is it sothat hon. members must be muzsled or is the mussle process simply an exhibition of liberal despotism, showing bow much free- dom the mis-named Liberals would give if they bad full control. Dummies will be at er ® premium as M. P's in that lsd if the LA mussle law is to come into force. Britain is gaily prosperous in her commercial affairs; Dat very little sympathy exists between the patricians and plebeians and the dividing lines are every day becoming more marked and extending, and one proof of this fact may be found in the criminal indifference with which the people look on while the Gladstone party apply the axe tothe very roots of the troe of liberty, freedom of dis- «cussion, liberty of speech. However the tam to pass after which we may expect that the Boers, Afghans and Zulus will point the finger of scorn at the 'crouching Britishers who dare Dot open their mouths even to defend themselves or against the encroachments 'still remains sullen and defiant, tobe Government are now driven ad aod scarcely know which ; the disease is certainly of a des- Ba inaty Sud sven osiract and that neither of them is to have any addition their)representation, but the four additional seats are tobe given one to Bruce, onto 'Essex, one to Lambton and one ts Simoos, so this disposes of the additional seats, But Nigara is no longer to send & representative and that seat is to be given 10 a Bow electoral district to be formed of the townships of Markham, Whit- church Pickering, Uxbridge, and the village of Usbridge. But Pickering being d from the south riding of Ontario some ad- dition will have to be made te that riding in some way to make up the loss of | Picker- ing ; it is whispered that the township of Reach and it may be the village of Port Perry will be attached to the south riding. This would certainly bs an awkward and very un- desirable position in which to place either Reach or Port Perry or beth, t> take them both would be the hight of folly, Bat North Ontario would have to be compensat- ed in part for the loss of Reach and Uxbridga it is said that part of Muskoka is fo be at- tached to North Ountario. The above changes are not yet fairly decided on and we hope will never be bat a few days will tell the tale, of course the above can only have reference to the dominion parliament, the constituences for the local parliament will remain as they now are. S-------- An Tmportamt Ohange. hed 'Wightman Bros. ar years of succesful ard increasingly popular business in Port Perry have found it neccessary to secure more extensive premises.

But Mr, Richardson, the maker, got 2} cents. per pound for making.and scl.iag the cheese, so that the cheese netted tb the company 8} cents per pound and therefore the patrons got 8] cents for every 10 pounds of milk they furnished;'as 10 pounds of milk made 1 pound of cheese, Mr, Richardson is to goon the coming season on the same terms. The closing remarks of the chairmah should be committed to memory by every patron and all others connected with cheese factories, The chairman took occasion to speak of the excellent quality of the cheese made by Mr, Richardson, but he urged all to scrupu- lous care in sending pure milk in elean vessels, as the least impurity taints, -------- The Beautiful Spring.
