The Watchman-Wander IT rs not the intention of the government to grant any fin- ancial assistance to the township ot Fenelon towards the construc- tion of Rosedale bridge. This is very unfortunate. Nor does the govern- ment purpose removing the unsightly piles of stone placed from the dredge along the beautiful shores of Balsam lake and Rosedale river, to the great injury of the prospects of that delight ful place as a summer resort.

It has been the rule with the govern- ment in the past, in the construction of swings in bridges, to pay the muni cipality concerned what it cost to make their part of a bridge correspond with that built by the government. In the Rosedale case the government has in- creased the height of the bridge and rendered the balance of the struCture useless. The fair course to pursue in this case would be for the government to grant to Fenelon township the «cost of removing the old bridge, adding two feet to the height of the piers and re placing the superstructure thereon.

The steamers ceased running; the bridges across Pigeon river became fixtures, and now the government seeks to disclaim responsi- bility for control of the waters of ‘Pigeon river. The people of Emily and Omemee will be curious to know how the government can justify the grant of ten thousand dollars for a bridge across Mud lake, near Bridge-l north, in Peterboro county, away up in the bogs, off the line of the canal, and at the same time decline to construct a couple of swings across Pigeon river, to cost upwards of two thousand dollars, to oblige and accommodate the people of Emily and Omemee. The logic‘is not easily comprehended. THAT the Liberals should denounce ‘ an expenditure of $37,000,000 a year before they came into office, and ar- range for an outlay of about $50,000,000 three years after they were elected, is a political curiosity not often encount- ered. With their promises of retrench- ment in mind, their unparalleled increase in expenditure is a serious breach of faith with the electors. People like to be able to take the definite pledges of their legislators 1seriously and when men find it neces- sary or expedient to pursue a course exactly opposite and hostile to their promises, it is no wonder if the public confidence in them receives a bad jar that will make itself manifest before many years have passed away. Under- lying and discrediting all the boasted achievements of the Laurier governâ€"‘ ment, there is a tendency to trifle with the electors that in the long run will work the undoing of that government. In the fast Atlantic line, the increased expenditures, the stolen tariff, and even the plebiscite, the same vicious prin- ciple crops out and is gradually under- mining the foundation upon which the Liberal government stands. No fair promises, good fortune or temporary success can avert the disaster that in- evitably arises from this chronic trifling and insincerity. \ will find that they can fly over. the roads with greater ease by wearing one of the beautiful lines of bicycle suits, hose: sweaters, caps and ibelts that GOUGB the wonderful cheap man is showing.

Wilder of Peel-st. heartily sympathize with them in the loss of their only child Ethel Bertha, who died onLMonday‘morn- ing after a protracted illness. She was a bright and winning child but never robust in health, and after a good deal of suffering succumbed to rheumatic fever at the age of nine years. The remains were taken to Severn for burial at Mrs. Wilder’s former home. WILLIAM BROWN. On Tuesday morning there died one of the oldest and most respected residents of Ops township when Mr. William Brown passed to the majority. He was born in Cavan county, Ireland, in the year 1828 and when a young man came to America and lived for a number of years in New York state. In the early days of this section he began farming near Port Hope and twenty-eight years ago moved from there to the homestead on which he died. By industry and good manaaement he had amassed a comparative fortune and owned 3 two hundred acres of as fine land asIthere is in * Ops. Shortly after coming to America he. was united in marriage with Eliza G:aham who has shared his successes and sorrows since that time and now with five children survives him. One daughter died in infancy. The others are Mrs. John Flynn of Toronto, Mrs. B. Corscadden of Ops, Mrs. Newton Seymour of Inkster, North Dakota, and Messrs John and Robt. who occupy the farms cleared by their father. Mr. Brown was a sturdy member of the Orange order, a Presbyterian and a Conservative held in high esteem by all who knew him. The Watchman-Warder offers its sympathy to the bereaved family.

Some of the companies are allready and willing. Only the very best men will be accepted this year, and applications for enlistment are rapidly coming in. Major Sylvester’s patent rifle and accoutrement holder will be supplied each tent. It is probable the battilion will proceed to Toronto by train and thence to Niagara by steamer. _ 'Tsiew helmets will be furnished the battalian through the kindness of Mrs. William Mackenzie, whose husband is honorary colonel of the corps.
