It is just as necessary to enforce strict military discipline in volunteer regiments as in those of the regular militia. We are well aware, of course, that a great many enroll themselves in volunteer companies without giv- ing a single thought to the fuel that there is always a possibility of their being called upon to do active service in the defence of their country from foreign invasion, or to quell local dis- turbances, during the three years of their service : there is lots of sport go- ing out to annual drill, but the graver (id of the question is seldom thought of. Bat, notwithstanding all this, they have Ukon an oath to do their dnty as faithful, loyal subjects of their Qneen, and, until they get their dis- charge, are obliged to obey all the commands of their superiors, or other- wise pay the penalty of our military law. Where officers are lax in the enforcement of the rule? governing oar militia forces, the results are soon i ten iu the negligence and, ofiiim -, insolence of the volunteers. The pub- lie school teacher who maintains strict discipline amoiust his pupils, with a firm but kindly hand, will show a fat- better record at tlie end of the year than the teacher who is indifferent iu this particular. Give a pupil "an inch of bis own way, and he will toon take a full foot." Just so with sol- diers: the officer who fails to main- tain discipline at the outset will soon find his company almost uiunanagc able although there are occasional pleasing exception!) to the rule. Hi - cause they re n-lutilrtri and not rryii- for mlJitrt. is no reason wliatev< r why tlie former should not be rcgn- luted by the sani>> utrii-t military dis- cipline w tlio latter, RH has been shown ; although, we confess, a good- ly Dumber of our commissioned ofti- cer who should know better do uot share this opinion. Now, we honor Capt. Ctinipbfll, of tbc FIcsbcrtou volunteer company (one of the very best in the Province noted far and near for the orderli- ness of its members) because, in the faithful and honest discharge of his duty, be recently bail an obstreperous member of tbc Co. brought before our Magistrates for disobeying the com- mand* of Ins superior officer in two important particulars. It was the Captain's duty to prosecute the offcn dcr not from mere personal motives, but because it was one of his duties as Captain of the company. Win C. Hanley the offender referred to was requested to attend annual drill last fall, but refused, or at least failed to do BO the former is, we believe, tbe correct way of putting it, for II. m ley had the same notice to attend a the other volunteers. He also seem ed to labor under the erroneous im- pression that when a volunteer had served three years, he could return possession of his military clothing without let or hindrance. In this particular, also, he failed to comply with the military regulations, and hence was cited to appear btforc the Magistrates, which lie did, but was very indignant with the officers for performing tlieir plain duty in the matter. Tlie matter was settled by Hanley paying all costs. Now, sup- posing the offences had been commit- ted when the active service of the company was required, Hanley would most assuredly have been treated as a deserter and court-martialed accord- ingly. As it is, we think he may thank bis stars that he ban escaped so easily. It will, however, be a warning to volunteers that they cannot disre- gard or ignore the command of their officers with impunity, and if it only results in a more rigid observance of military discipline, much good has been accomplished.

A communication in another col- umn from "Nemesis." in reference to the petition presented some time ago to the Trustees of out Public Schools by ratepayers living at Flesherton Station, praying for a school teacher for that section, during the winter months particularly. *q It was generally au ..icd at our Annual Meeting, that should the at- tendance at our Public Schools ne- cessitate the engagement of another Tchcher, it might be just as advisable as not to locate the third Teacher at the Station, if by so doing, of course, the necessity for a third Teacher in tliit school no longer existed. It is claimed that there arc not enough pupils in the Station neighborhood, luiwevcr, to warrant such a course, as even if they wcrs provided with n Teacher, the attendance at our schools would still warrant a third teacher to do the work properly particularly during the winter months. However the question is in the bauds of our Trustees, who are men of integrity, and will see that justice is done to all. i.v/>/;r/;.v/>j;.vT".VEirsiMP- EML Our contemporary the Markdale .S'/./in/'ir./, s, , ins to misunderstand our position re "independent" newspapers. A newspaper may be independent in itt utteriincti and yet not be nnu-parti- zan. Now while we give a loyal sup- port t j the present Government, and get a shtre of it; patronage, it docs not by any moans necessarily follow that we Itflony to that party. We re- serve the individual right always to rrnsiire any of its acts which we may not think consistent with the best in- terests of the country. The AIAANCB is not and never has been controlled by interested politicians of any party, and never said it belonged to any party, and hercirj the Standard has unin- tentionally, we trust misquoted us a M > 'iid tin H'. What wdid say wis, that "every journal little and big should give forth no uncertain sounds politically." \Vr did not, and ucver did say, that they should belong to any party. As to the Government's patronage, the Siiiniliinl has an equal claim with the AHVANCE, for theCiovcrnment docs not require or ask the tlm-uh support ol any newspaper. Sir John Macdonald has always shown his hearty appre- ciation of those Conservative or "In- dependent" journals who, while they did not fail to applaud him for any meritorious action of himself or cabi- net, were equally zealous in censuring him whcu he erred. The Premier is by no means the corrupt trickster one section of the party press designate him, nor yet is he the angel of per- fection the other section of the party pris.i would have him appear to be. The extreme views of these papers is precisely what has brought to the fore newspapers which are more independ- ent in their tittcrnncei in reference to IIM j">!itioal <|nijtioiip. Much its the Toronto World, AViw, fr& But be- cause they ore liberal or independent in tin) views or opinions they promul- gate, does it follow that they are inde- pendent of party politics in the real acceptation of the word or term ? We maintain most decidedly not. And yet that is tlio Standard'* position ex- actly. One time our cotem was neu- tral, now it says it is independent : we might well ask, what are // politics, or how soon will it be changing its political base again, or has it any po- litical leaning! 1 at all? In reference to the remarks of a certain renegade Conservative paper i i this County, on the same subject, we may say that we have not the time lo spare to reply to the unwarrantable grossly personal, and inconsistent vap- orings of disappointed politicians.
