A general feeling that. we are ” too much governed "â€"that our representa- tive bodies contain too many members and are unurccssarily costlyâ€"prevails throughout the country, and a stop in the direction of reducing the number of county councillors has been taken by the publication and circulation of the following wt of questions,‘of which we have received a copy :â€" 1. What is the general feeling in your municipality as to a reduction in tlic number of County Councillors ? 2. What is your own opinion 7 3. Ofthe following proposals for the reduction of County Councillors which would you (if futorublc to reduction) pl'cfct ? each municipality having but. one rcp- rescntauvc. ' (11') Increasing the number of quali- fied voters for deputy rccves, say from 500 to a greater number. (c) Dividing the County into districts and electing rcprcscutntiws thcrcl‘rom. (ll) Giving to each township :1 rccvc with a voting power equal to the pres- ent representation as regulated by the Municipal Actâ€"or in other words the rccvc having as many votes as the Act provides representatives from the mu- nicipnlity. (c) Having a Board of say five mem- bers, representing, not particular diam tricts, but the whole County. If favor- able to this plan, what mode of election would you suggest. ?â€"ththcr by pop- ular vote or an election by the various township councils at. their first meeting, lo a somewhat. similar manner to the clcction, by Electoral Division Agricul total Societies. of representatives at the Board of Agriculture and Arts. (f) The election of County Councils as at, present; but the appointment. by them, at their first. meetings, of small executive committees. to transact. the business of the year. Questions 1 and 2 are easily answer- ed, as we feel quite confident. that. our own opinion that there ought. to be a reduction in the number of county coun cillors is shared by a great majority of the people of this municipality and of all others; but how best to do it is somewhat. difficult to determine. Abol- ishing deputy rccvcs, and giving each municipality but one rcprcm‘utativc at the county council would strike a blow at representation by population which would certainly be opposed by thickly peopled townships. Increasing the qual ificntion for deputy reeves Would not greatly diminish their number; and to divide the county into districts or have‘ a Beard of five members would involve more elections, which are to be avoided unless shown to be absolutely necessary. 0n the whole we are inclined to favour having each township represented by a rccve " with as many votes as the Act provides representatives from the mu- nicipality "; but have not yet given the ' subject (which presents not a few dilli- cultics) sufficient thought. to have ur- rived at any vcry definite opinion as to the best means of attaining the desired end. At. any rate it seems rather prc- mature to deal with county councils be- fore obliterating tho cfi'ctc :md conly Senate and Iessouing the number of par- liamentary representatives; but the fact that the above questions have been cir- l culuted by authority of the Ontario llcé'i’lfluw ‘h‘lws {I‘m “‘9 lende'wl" 0" be entered as [count for the cast half of the Reform party Is to Kill”- Cnlllllam‘tfl l lot. 20 in the 7th concession ; also that “l. “Nil Nil-"035 “"3” 0"”5 “1'00 Small part west part of west half lot 1;") in the ones are beyond itsjurisdiction. m 3.... Act. The Scott Act has already been vol-rd on in tony cities and counties in Outa- rio, and adopted in thirty-three ; in twenty-lhur more it will shortly be sub Iuitted to the people, and we are glad to hear that Victoria is likely soon to loin the number. The Act was submit» in] to Parliament by the Mackenzie Government in 1678 and became law, and. its mastitutionality having been denied, it was tested in the courts and finally. about two year! ago. sustained by a decision ofthc Privy (.‘ouncil. It is a local option law, confined to cities ._ .nd cnuuti s, and in order to have it, submitted the signatures of one-fourth or the total number of ratepayers must . be afixvd to a petition. which is then > sent to the Governor Gutierul iu.Cnun cil, who issues a proclamation fixing the -, day of the pulling: and the election is conducted acchrding tn the regulatian governing val-unions for the Dominion into force for at least five months from the day of polling, and cannot be r:- pralnd tor three yvnn.

The There can be, we think. but little doubt that the liquor traffic is doomed. though it will die hard and not receive its final quictus until a good many years l hence. It cannot pos~ibly be more viz. croust denounced than it. was by the earliest advocates of prohibition; but the denunciation is growing much more general than it used to be, and is caus- ing uneasiness to all who umke their living out of liqUor. The New York Tribune says : " There is to-duy in the English-speaking Countries no such tre- mendous, fur-reaching vital question as that of drunkenness. In its implication and cflccts it overshadows all else. It is impossible to cmmine any subject connected with the progress. the civili- zation, the physical well-being. the rc- ligious condition of the masses. without encountering this monstrous evil." Scu l l l ‘ ntor Morrill. on the floor of the United States Senate, spoke of the liquor trafâ€" fic as “a gigantic crime of crimes; " and the London Timex, in an article entitled “ The Shame of the Age," says. “ Drinking b-fllcs us, confounds us. shamcs us, mocks us at. every point. It outwits alike the teacher, the man of business, the patriot and the legislator. Every other institution floundch in hopeless difficulties, but. the public house holds its triumphant. course." Not. only the lcndiugjournuls. but. many clergyman, are fenrlchly denouncing the traffic, and the rank and file of the prohibition army, encouraged by the valuable amistancc thus given. are work- ing with rctlouhlcd hope and energy. The Scott. Act is at best only a half mtusurc. but it. is a great. deal better titan nothing at all ; and the communi- ties that adopt it are likely soon to as- (u) Doing away with (ppm-v reeves. : sent. to even more decisive steps for the. suppression of the traffic that has proved a greater curse to the human race than war, pestilence and famine combined.

NEW YORK, May 3Ist.-â€"â€"A London cable letter this morning says dynamite is the Sensation of the day. Egypt is for a time eclipsed and local affairs are thrown in the shade. A series of ex- plosions occurred last evening which at tructcd much attention. At 9:15 p. m. an explosion was heard in the vicinity of Scotland Yard. Being traced to its source, it was discovered that. one of the police headquarters, at building used as a lodging house by the detectives, had been demolished and a number of hous- es in the vicinity badly damaged. The adjoining Clarence rquarc Was demol- ished, and several cabs overturned and one wrecked altogether. Some of the horses were badly injured and a police- man ou patrol was seriously hurt. Two minutes later a second explosion occur- rcd, this time in Pall Mall. This shat- tercd the windows of the Carleton club, and considerably injured other struc~ turcs in that vicinity. tearing up the roadway so that it was impassable Three minutes after the Pall Mall ex- plosion a third explosion occurred in St Jamcs's square. 11 short. distance from the scene of the second concussion. This case was the severest of all. The back wall of the Junior Carleton club buildin:, which faces on Pall Mall, was blown in, and the splendid mansion of Sir Watkin William Wynn, M. P.. St. James's square, was partially wrecked, Two of Sir Watkin’s men servants re- ceived slight. injuries. The windows were smashed. and the gas t. linguish- udf Eight maid sci-Vitals of the Junior Carlton club were wounded by the fly. ltlg‘dt'bl‘is when the rear wall of that building caved in, and» they were reâ€" moved to the hospital. At, 9:30 p. to. eighteen slabs of dynamite, all- connect- ed with a slab which had a fuse attach- ed, were found by the police at the. base of Nelson's monument, in Trafalgar square. They were conveyed to Scot- land Yard and examined by Col. Illaâ€" jcndic. inspector of explosives for the Board of Works, who pronounced them to bc nitro compound. Had an cxplo~ siou occurred in 'l'rufalgar square great» loss of life must. have ensued. us at. that hour the vicinity is crowded with fre- queutcrs and louugcrs. The explosion and the discovery of evidence of a wide- spread plan of destruction have caused great. consternation among all classes. The fact that. such extensive operations could be carried on successfully in the very heart. of the city in spite of the vigilance of the police gives rise to a feeling of insecurity and dismay. The number of persons in the. hospital suf- fering from injuries caused by the ex plnsion is twelve. A search results in the discovery that another explosion] was. averted in Scotland Yard by the failure of the fuse to burn. chcrul cakes of dynamite have bcx-n found in the vicinity, and a canister of unex- ploded dynamite in Scotland Yard. Six- tccn packets of dynamite, with fuses ut- tachcd, wcrc fou’d under the Nelson monument in 'I‘rufalgar square. This the police believe is of American manu- l'ucture. a- oâ€"_.__._ V A Maniac Mother’s Deed. IN HER FRENZY SI”) DESTROYS IIEIISELF AND HER FIVE CHILDREN. At.n.\:vv, May 3(l.â€"hnst night. Mrs. Christopher Scl-rcilcr. aged 33. while temporarily insane. cut the threats of her four children with a razor. 'l‘ncir ages were seven, five, and three years and uiuc months. The heads of all were nearly severed from their bodies. The woman then seized her nine-year- nlrl daughter in hcr arms, ran to the railroad track. and sat on the rails wait ing for a train to kill them. She was horribly bruised. but. conscious when picked up. She said she could not get. away from her mother, who threw her- self before the cars. The child died this morning. The father, a German blacksmith aged 45, is nearly crazvd with grief. The couple lived happily. l The Woman's insanity is said to have] been due to the loss of a savings bank l book. ‘ _. _..._. .. am..â€" Reciprocity with Canada.

Thomas Pennant, in his “ Tours in Wales,” speaks of a Welsh nmnzlm named Margaret Evan, who lives at I’cntlyn. She is at this time about ninety years of age. She is the great- est hunter, shooter and fisher of her time. She kept. at least. a dozen dogs, killed more foch in one year than all the coulcdcrute hunts do in ten ; rowed stontly and was quccu of the lake ; lid- dled excellently and knew all our old music; did not neglect the mechanical arts, for she was a very good joiner, and at. the age of 70 was the best wrestler in the country, and few young men dared to try a fall with her. Margaret was also blacksmith, shoemaker, boat builder and maker of harps. Shc shod her own horse, made her own shoes, and built, her own boats while under con- tract to convey copper up and down the lakes. All the neighbouring bards cel- cbrutcd her exploits. She had "may admirers. but gave her hand to the most efi'cmiuatc of them. 0- Mr. Chamberlain and Shipowners. The London (Eng) correspondent. of the Toronto Globe anywayâ€"At lust. Mr Chamberlain has made his long looked for speech in defence and explanation of his Merchant Shipping Bill ; and it was certainly a great speech in length if in no other rcspcct. For it. occupied three hours and tlirce-tptartcrs, during the whole of which period the Presidcnt. of the Board of Trade continued to pour upon his hearers a perfect torrent of facts and figures, without even pausing once for a sip of water. But even Mr. Chamberlain's bittcrcst critics admit that. he laid his case vcry forcibly be- fore the House, and that he showed vcr' good cause for the position he has taken up. Some of the facts mentioned pro- duced a sensation. For iu>tauce, stat- istics demonstrate that in twelve years one scamuu out of every six employed is lost. and that as the average working lifc of u scamun is 24 ycaru, the chance of not. pcrishing at. sea in that time is only one in three. Facts such as these have impressed both the House and the country, and will secure public sympu th for Mr. Chamberlain's cause. Mr. Chamberlain is aware of this. for he has at tde arrangements by which lane numbers of a Verbatim report of his 5 cech â€"t.hc first edition is 10,000â€" will be freely distributed throughout the Country. The shipowucrs, who are extremely irate at. the upcech, will be not a whit less active, and a very keen struggle between the two parties may be expected. Mr. Chamberlain is the last man in the world to yield until compul- led. But considering the Note of pub- lic business there is very little chance of his bill being added to the statute book this year. unless tho autdmn session. which in already being talked of, should become a reality. Next year, if he does not. succeed this. he will make another attempt, and it will be wrprisiug il'thc future leader of the Liberal party. us he in pretty generally regarded, Llucn not. be successful in the long run. l Mr. Mowat’s Mission.
