No doubt there are several individuals in North Victoria who would make very creditable and satis- factory representatives, but tinfortum ately they do not appear to be availa- ble, as some of thetn decline to run and others could not be united upon by the influential members of the party.

We are glad to hear that the officers of the Reform Association in this riding are bestirring themselves, and that, as it. has been ascertained that the President, Mr. Dickson, is not like- ly to return from Manitoba for several weeks, the Vice-President, Dr. Clarke, of Woodvillc, and the Secretary, Mr. A.

During the past week several letters have been received froth residents of this village who recently migrated to Manitoba, and although we have not seen any of the cpistles. we learn that their contents Show pretty conclusively that the writers' experience has not been such as to produce uttnlloyed rapture. This is only what might have been ex. pected, for it was Some time- ago pre- dicted that the supply of labour of all kinds would snort be in excess of’ the demand, and such now seems to be the case. One of our villagers says (we are told) that. be can only clear three dollars per week over his expenses. and as he could certainly do that in Fette- lon Falls, all he has gained by the ex- change is the gratification of his curios- ity to know what the prairie province was really like. The rush to Winnipeg. Brandon and one or two other points is something fearful, and although dis ousted people are leaving at. the rate of three hundred a day, double that num- ber are arriving, increasing the jam and enabling tavern and boarding house keepers (who are all making fortunes) to charge what they choose. One of our returned villagers, whose stay in Winnipeg was portcutiously short, tells us that he could not live there in anv- thiug like decency for less than two dollars a day, and for that sum he got inferior board and very poor accommo~ (lotion at night. Mechanics of all kinds are swarming into the cities by hun- dreds, and the consequence is that wages are no longer- in proportion to the cost of living. Of course farmers who have unultcrably made up their minds to settle in Manitoba or the ad- jacent. territory will do well to secure lands as soon as possible, and the keen competition amongst. merchants and mechanics will be to their advantage; but all occupations except agriculture and boarding-house keeping appear to be already overdone, at least. for the present. Even farmers should think not only twice but a good many times before they decide to leave their pres- ent. homes, for the “Land of Promise ” has many drawbacks as well as advan- tages; and the following paragraph from a letter from Manitoba. in the Pe- terborough Ifcri'cw is, full of wisdom :â€" “i‘lcu who have good farms with houses, barns, orchards, (with no mort- gages) in Ontario had better stay there, but men who are cramped and Oppress- ed and driven to their wits' end to make a living, should lose no time in coming to a land which will give bread and to spare to millions.” A Monstrous Outrage. A justly indignant commercial travel- ler has furnished us with the particu- lars of an outrage to which a carful of passengers, of whom he was one, were subjected last Monday on the Victoria branch of the Midland Railway. The mixed train, which should have left Lindsay at. 3.10 in the afternoon, was detained from some cause for nearly an hour and a half, and when it had crawl- ed to thc junction :1 boy handed the con- ductor a piece of paper, the contents of which informed him that, as he was be- hind time, he was. to wait where he was until the mail train from the north arâ€" rived. About flirty-live minutes later it. made its appearance, and as its engine had met with some mishap that impair- ed its usefulness, the engineerâ€"Ive pre- some with proper authorityâ€"mppropri- ated the engine of the mixed train'and went on his way rejoicing. The con- ductor of the mixed telegraphed to the station at. Lindsay for permission to = take his passengers back until an engine could be got i'irady,nud the replyiwas that he was to shunt thctn on to the siding and leave them there. This was aercordingly done, and the officials of the train returned to town; but the tilt ‘ fortunate pmsengers. about seventy-live . I l A A Penelon Falls Public School.

Miss Boyd, with great courage and presence of mind, jumped on to the step ofthe carriage and chught at; the lines, one of which she matiaged to seize and retain, and when, .‘ few seconds later, she was shaken o ‘, the heads of the ponies were pulled towards a fence, which stopped them. lMiss Boyd was slightly bruised and herifath- er escaped without injury. l â€"Lnst Saturday night a man ultittcd Samuel McIlroy, aged 73 years, was run over and cut into mincemcat on Campbell’s bridge by the 6:45 ltrain from Pcterborough to Port Hope. l l’orâ€" tions of the body were found of, the bridge and others had fallen through into the creek. One theory is that the old man’s death was the result oflacci- dent, and another, that he committed suicide. Nothing was known of the tragedy until the return of the express, when the engineer and fireman, locking out. for the “ bad joint " which they thought had caused the jolt. during their previous trip, saw blood on the track and telegraphed to the driver of another train to see what. had been kill- ed.

John O'Connor, has been ap- pointed to a position in the. \\'innipeg est-office at a salary of $2.500 per au- nuru. What particular sphere oflabour Mr. Barrett will occupy in the post- oflice isn't very clear, but we surmise that the intention is to make him walk- ing boss of the new and elegant lean-to. The Winnipeg post-ellicc is not. suffer- ing for want of any $2,501) ornaments. even if the ornament b‘ a relative of Hon. John O'Connor. What it wants is an adequate staff of working clerks at reasonably good salaries, and plenty of room in which to operate them.

Craze. Some idea of the immense quantity of Manitoba and Northâ€"West pamphlets that. are sent. out from the House of Commons to the various constituencies may be formed from the fact that 5130 large mail bags, each containing an av- erage of a hundred pounds, chiefly of this kind of literature, have been dcs- atclicd during the session. This would make in all twenty-eight tons, and 01‘ late the quantity has equalled a ton and a half per day. The white paper on which these pamphlets are printed a- lone costs some 34,000. Several uteru- bcrs have sent one or more copies of a pamphlet or document oI'somc kind re.- latiug to the North-West. to nearly every elector in their ridiugs. All this tends to make that country better known, but also in many cases tends to unsettle per- sons who had better remain where they are now doing WCIlrâ€"‘(J'flltlltf Curr. ._.Vâ€" â€"â€"~o .. o The Parliamentary Term. The Ottawa correspondent of the To- ronto Globe says : “A new political project has been mooted of late, which is nothing less than to extend the term of the Federal Parliament to seven y ‘III'S. Tory min- isters and tnauy of their followers affect to be intensely English, and make this an excuse for copying the English sys- tem in this respect. Hoping to carry the. coming elections through by a Ismall tiiajnrity, and this under a delusion, some of them are foolish enough to in- dulge the. hope that ii the parliamentary term were extended in the way referred to, it would mean an additional two years of power for the present Govern- ment. As is well known, the present term of five years is fixed by the llritish North America Act, and could only be changed by Imperial legislation. It is therefore proposed that the Canadian Parliament shall pass an address to the Queen, praying that the Union Act may be amended in the respect mentioned. It remains to be seen whether any ac‘ tion will be left over to the new Ilousc, in which, if there is a Conservative our jority, such an address could readily be passed. It is stated that there is an English precedent in which a l’arlia. mcnt elected for a given term of years extended the term, which was made up- plicablc to the existing l’arlinmcnt. This, is what many Canadian Conserva- quite a sufficient justifieatirm." .-- . - .___._.._._.

I hope you will give me space in your paper to indorse your word of warning to the IIefortm-rs of.\'orlh Victoria to get them- selves in better position as soon as possible. If the general elections are brought on in June, as well informed persons say they will be, it is to take advantage of the turnt- ing community, who will be in one of the busiest seasons of the year. In a eonstitu cncy such as North Victoria, where the fur- ming. lumbering and mining interests large- ly predominate over other industries, it is not probable that. a full expression of opin- ion will be given at the polls; and North Victoria may be taken as it criterion of most of the rural constituencies, whose in- terests the present Government seems to ignore. In cities and thickly populated centres the work can be done at one season of the year as easily as at. another, nttd when the country is busiest the city is the slackest; so it would seem that the conve- nience of the latter is to he preferred, and it is to be given the advantage of every cir- cumstance itt its favour. With refi-rcnco to the candidate,â€"â€"if a local llll|ll cart bu got to represent us in parliament, so much the better; btit whoever the person is he is expected to express our views and look af- ter our interests, so the difference would be that the local than would be better acâ€" quainted with the constituency. But as anything that all‘ects the producing classes affects us, we want a representative well posted in matters of trado and who will be watchful over the interests of his constitu- ents. ll'wc can elect a man who will do our work satisfactorily, what does it. matter whether he is a resident of the constituency or not?
