Mr. Lauricr li&a at last assnrod Mr. MoCartliy fiom Lis seat iu the Hou80 that there will bo no coorcion of Manitoba in any sense by his government aud that he will accept Manitoba's offer an given to the oommiBsion, which, by the way, is nothing more than what was oli'uieil tbt CoDBervative commission which waitod upon the Manitoba picmicr. The Globe is now saying "I tolJ you 80." The World iu this connection remarki that "of all the mad raiasious 0T«r undertaken by political chiefs, none was of a madder type than the attempt of the late gi^crnmeDt at remedial legislation," na the good district fathers said, " Thciu'd oiu- lontimente tew," There it no just reason why Flesherton should not have oue of the best fall fairs in we8t3rn Ontavio if.it is properly handled. The success of last week's exhibition iu point of membei-ship and exhibits would appeal to fully warrant ilii3- belief. Tbsro must be good attvaotions, how- ever, as well as plentiful exhibits, in order to fr&yr the crowd. There would require to be a larger building for exhibition purposes and shelter for the ladies in unpleasant weather. How much of these improveiucnts will be made iu time for next year's fair remains to be seen, but the direolorate as at present constituted ii enterprising and will no doubt do all that is advisable iu that direction.
