Hughes at once offered to lead a regiment of Canadian volunteers in 3 case war should break out. His ‘ political opponents then made what has in the light of subsequent events, become a most unseemly attempt at ridicule. The idea or colonial aid rapidly seized the people of this Dom- inion'and attracted the attention of the Imperial government. while the precise form in which the English authorities chose to accept aid was not according to that propcsed at the outset by Col. Hughes, vet there cannot be denied to him the alertness and grasp of the probable necessities of the occasion that led him to suggest a departure in colonial affairs that is destined 0 have a tremendous influence on the future of the Empire. In a few days he Will be with the thousand other loyal and devoted Canadians ploughing the high seas on his way to distant battle fields. His many friends will wish him Godg speed and we believe that those who have been accustomed to oppose him in the peaceful issues of the country will not withhold the same good-will.

This would give the impression that the pro- spect is dark enough for the next three weeks until reinforcements now on the sea can some to the rescue. The Boers have shown themselves foes worthy of British mettle. and their use of artillery and the rifle is astonishing in its accuracy.

IN THE MAYOR’S announcement of the committee appointed to confer with the council regarding the water- works he refers to them as representa- tives of the different wards. It would be better to avoid reference to such divisions when they really have ceased to exist. IN OUR REPORT of the meeting to consider the propositzon of the Water- works Company in last issue, we stated that Mr Hopkins named Dr. Burrows as the doctor who objecred to the Scugog water and then took it into his own I‘: ”dad.

Further. Benjamin 'hami'éi" vious‘ly told his erratic brother that he‘ might expect to be “sold into Egypt" bv his brethren because of their common hatred for him on account of. his being most favored by his father (God). So it came to pass that he turned the tables on his brethren, for he would not recognize them, until he was in a position to make himself known to them. He not only granted all they asked (dismissal), but “put their money back into their sacks" to burn, so when they returned the money (defamation of character), he would not let them ofi‘, until he had Benjamin fast for falsely calling him a “liar.” But, hav- ing God with him, he invited them down to dwe'l with him in Egypt (Janetville), for “God has given him all things richly to snjoy.,' W, M.
