for years and why the municipality‘s position in this connection should become so suddenly the object of these gcntionien's solicitndu we can not see. 3 is perfectly riuht that every effort should be made to have the affairs nf tho mnnshizi 3~inii' : \ Mun! ‘(ftl‘t the I‘VNiC‘ It i< smut dung {or “inch this- j~“?‘?|-“ inc {maid ‘ni‘ wars and we 3 J 1} n 1'!

There can be no question of the fact that all this fuss is simple the work of a few spiteful busybodies who hope to make some points against the present Council out of the loss by the council of‘the law- suits, Eldon vs. Birmingham. No better evidence of this fact is required than is furnished by the personnel of the petitioners whose names are attached to the proclamation. On analysis we fiuda number of names of men who although they are ratepayers are non- residents and if not particspants in the recent suits were most zealous support» ers of the defendant. while the defendant himself. Mr. Juo. Bermingham. we find as one of the Magistrates appealed to to bring this matter before the people. If this proclamation is not actuated by pure "ctrsserlrnesx" and the desire to add one more thorn to the already prickly mad over which the (‘ouucil has been travelling“ we are greatly mistaken. It is very certain that the financial position of the township today is no worse but is really much better than it has been DURING the week we have received application from a gentleman for infor- mation as to the position of this town to accommodate a business which he desires to commence here, but on looking about we find not the slightest chance for extending him any suitable accom. modation. No place could be found in what is called the business part of the main street and apparently the town has again reacheda standstill. Demand is made on every hand for dwelling houses but none can be had, and new stores are also wanted. We would suggest to the united Village and Town- ship Councils that right here is an ex- cellent chance of investment of some funds besides assisting in the deveIOp- ment of the place. Why not build a decent town hall on the site of the present one with suitable accommoda- tionlfor all public purposes above with two stores beneath. The corporation can procure money at a low rate of in- terest and the rentals would more than cover all interests and other charges. ; No better location could be found for the purpose and it is a decided shame that an excellent site should be lying idle when it might be utilized to such ad- vantage both of the corporations finan- i cially and to the town generally.

All men are liable to err in judgment and it could notbe expected that the Council of Eldon would be in this connection perfect. We believe they did what they consciencionsly be- lieved to be right and in the interest of I the Municipality. At any rate. in the matter of Eldon vs. Bermingham. al- l though found by the Courts to be wrong the Council had every reason for believo ing itself right and if the result has not ’ been as expected the public or the rate- payers are not justified in adding to the unpleasantness. Had the result been difierent and Mr. Bermingham made the loser what a shout of praise for the Council would have gone up and how valuable would the alteration secured have been made to appear, But things did not turn out so and consequently the Council are to be called fools and made to explain why they did not not make sure of the case before commencing it. 3 However, be that as it may, the Council ‘ ought nor to be made the butt of un. l scrupulous vindictivencss which we fully believe to be the reason of this move. They have done their best to serve the community and until this matter came up, no special fault could be found with them. We do not know whether the y 1‘ Council will obey the request to be i l present at the meeting at Lorneville 3 referred to above but it is quite possible in View of the closeness of the nomina- tions that they will defer any explana- I tions of their course until that day. SIR.â€"I read in the Expanss of the 9611 inst.. your letter on the Scott Act and the work undertaken by the friends of prohibition, 8:0. You say the hotel~ keepers under the License Act. with a few exceptions were violaters of the law and in many cases aided and abetted in every species of crime. Every species of crime means murder, burglary. rob- bery, stealing. rape, forgery and the many other crimes and offences known in the criminal calendar. Mr. Moyle. your accusations are the gravest that can possibly be made against a class of men in the country who are and have been cmsidercd respectable. Mr. Moyle. vou ought not shrink from making good 'vour serious charges. It is indeed a duty you owe the public, when you know of the crnnes and the criminals, to give ii fnniation and evidence before the courts of the law to the end, that the guilty parties expiate their offences on the gallows, in the penitentiary and other prisons and places of confinement. If you do not prosecute and you allow the guilty parties to go at large and pro- bably continue in their career of crime. you need not expect to escape censure of having been an accomplice or access- ory before, or after the fact. It will serve Von no good purpose to endeavor to screen yourself by taking refuge behind rumors published in newspapers. nor be bind the rantings of enthusiastic stump orators. who prize more a point gained than they do the truth as it )8 to God. Your accusations, Mr. Moyle are truth: or they are lies. If they are not true, you are a libeller, a rant and a crank. Again, you say ”the opponents of the Scott Act, when they failed to repeal the law. entered upon a career of crime, un- parallelled in Canadian history ; tar and feathers l the assassins bullet. the dynamite bomb, or the serpent's sting in the wine cup, are equally welcome to , their hand, if the objectbegained."
