Monday 31st inst. will be Nomin #tion Day throughout the province, be heard. in the distance, lerable Abel is furbishing his armor, sharpening his sword, - drying his powder and throwing up earth= works ; he is dotermiuved to sell his' political life as dearly ns possible. It is said that Mr. hurrying up his siege guns and coming against him at the head of an , of members to serve in the munici:| point of the bayonet, and blow * pal councils for the ensuing year; while Monday the Tth day of Jan- mary will be election day. As the time is just at hand it will now be fn order for intending candidates to let their intentions be known so that the electors will be in a position to goto the nominations understand- ly. Intending candidates are} meither doing themselves nor the public justice by concealing their intentions up till the day of nonin. ations. If all who are willing to give their services to serve at tho| eouncils boards were to announce their willingness at least a couple | of weeks previous to the nomina- tions the electors could go to the nominations and make their selee- tions intelligently, knowing exactly _ what material they have got to use #0 that candidates oan be selected according to merit and ability to serve in the severn} positions; but if parties fail to ammounce them- selves previous fo the nominations, the electors mot knowing whose services sre available or the best mew {orefort, act in their selections pretty much like what a man would do who being armed with a club is put into a dark room to fight a deg ~he strikes indiscriminately around Rim. All sdmit that in a pecuniary Fight the position of reeve or coun- oilor is & sacrifice ; but this is not the only aspect in which the posi- tion should be regarded. Is it no- thing to have the confidence cf one's fellow ratepayersso evinced towards him as to place him in the honor- able position of councilor? Is it no thing to have the honor of being placed overjthe affairs of one's mun- ioipality ? Is it a matter of indiffer- ence to have the responsibility plac- ed in one's handaof the levying and esllecting of the direct texesof the mamieipality and the expenditare of the same ? The honor of these far more than compensates for any pecuniary loss which the position may cause. Tho question will naturally arise in most minds who are the parties who should offer themselves for such poritious ?-- There are two points on which every eandi late should satisfy himself bo- fore offering --firat, that he desires the position ; second, that if elected he will devote sufficient time to the dwe performance of all the duties connected with the office. Of course no man will offer himself as a can didate for any- position unless he eonsiders himself compitent to dis- charge the duties of said position.-- But in the matter of ability the We are aware that at least nineteen out every twenty of the common rnn of slectozs eare little fof abilities their choice being chiefly directed by ce that the best men in ench ~ munieiptlity should be selected, it becomes the duty of all having the ©" medessary timo to "devote to the 7 "duties of ihe office and who feel mooi ve that they could discharge o tothe advantage of the sane offering his services is +honor 10 himself and his defences to pieceson the first lcharge. It is also suid that generals Weir and Holman ure both taking the field and contemplate a combine ied flank movement on Abel's pos- (ition, they are determined to carry | his flimsey fortifications by regular {sap and mire. But Able relies on his frequent sorties to compel both | generals Weir and IIolman to raise the siege. ITow it will fare with the other members of council remains yet to ! be seen ; we expect, however, that | the members of the present council won't allow themselves to be led in- to an ambuscade similar to that into which the council of last year was led by that fox on the last day of the ression of 1876. 'While chang. ing councils too frequently is not desirable it is still more undesirable that improper, incompetent, unre- liable men should hold the positions of honor year after year running in the same rut. The municipal sins and iniquities of the past will all rise in judgment against the retiring councils on the day of nomination, i. e. in all mun- fcipalities such as Reach, where the ellectors are free and independent and dare express themselves without taking off their bats and begging pardon of some almighty clique such as are found in too many hole and corner corporations throughout this otherwise blessed provinee. The township of Brock, another thoroughly independent muricipal- ity, neverjallows its nominations or elections Lo pass over in your wishy wasby, don't annoy me style, the candidates are thoroughly indepen. dent and the electors are no less so stand up fightin, that municipality. In the past the selections they have made have been no discredit them, while the healthfnl at the eownty council of their reeves and deputy reeves has been™ highly creditable to ber as & township and of vital importance to the ratepay- ors "throughout the county. Of to influence cormorants sé¢ek to bunt down and belittle those men who brave all sinister sneers and interestcd insin nations from the baffled T'weeds ~ur Connolly's of casual advantage pro clivities. How the approaching contest in Brock will be conducted or who shall be the combatants we are not now in a position to state and will have to wait further devel- opments ore we can place parties in their true positions. In the township eof Cartwright matters so far move smoothly along, there is not a ripple on the surface of the: municipal waters. Doubtless there will be & contest but what kuown to us, The members of the prosent council, however, are thor- oughly prepared to. take the field and stand or fall by their official acts. We assert withowt fear of successful contradiction that there is no other municipal council in the province who more efficiently, fairly and fearlessly grapple with every question bearing upon the well be- ing of their municipality.

Or Whether some may refuse to and we may always look for a fair | conrse (ho entire body of sharks and | may be: the battle ground is yet wn- | setitatives than in the township of Cartwright, your aristoeratic cliques 'and domineering rings are unknown in that municipality ; and anyone attempting to play the dictator What may turn up in Port Perry is yet uncertain, whether all the present council may seek re election stand again is yet unknown to us, and it may also be to the parties themselves. We are not aware of anything done by the present council which merits extinction or even censure; and it the municipal affairs be handled in the coming year as in that now drawing to a close there will be little cause for com- pluint. And we see no cause why county of Lanttrk and the county of Carleton or some portiofi thereof, shall have granted aid by way of bonus to that route to the amonnt of $200 000 on or bufore the tirst day of Fel tuary next, 3.

Such a course is not re- quired in Port Perry the electors are not made of any such stuff as to be caught with so nicely sitted chaff. An ounce of honorable and upright dealing is worth more to them than aton of such miserable chicane. -- Merciless Critics. Newspaper articles are always fit subjects for criticism and when fair- ly criticised however severely, the writer or publisher has no right to complain, on the contrary it is the duty as well as the privilege of all readers of newspapers to freely crit- icise their contents. But the would: be critic travels beyond his record whenever he permits his own jaun- diced feelings and sordid inclina- tions to so warp his judgment as to lead him to attribute unworthy motives to the publishers and writ- ers of any article which may run ap against the especial interests or particular pet of the unworthy crit- ic, Such critics from their own groveling point eamnot suppose it possible for any one to take an in- dependent course on anything, being themselves hopeless mercen- aries they suppose that all are ac- tuated by similar motives. Bat eof all newspaper critics, the most eon- temptible is the poor worthless, idle village lounger, who for miserable stinginess won't subscribe or pay for thepaper, who does not--at least has noright to--know what it contains; but when stealing .a few garbled expressions from it, if these should happen to get between the wind and bis dignity, Mr. Lounger will dis- ort them to suit his own amiably, malicigus disposition and having no thing olse to do will bawk them all over the community praying for vengeance dark and deep on the hoad of the presumptive one Who dares to think tor himself and in op- position to the roiled jumbling of the magnificent vacuum of the would-be critic. mn The Toronto and Ottawa Railway Marching on. The council of the city of Ottawa at their meeting on Friday last pass- ed a by-law granting a bonus of $200,000 in aid of the construction of the above named railway. The by-law will:be submitted to a vote of the people on Satarday 22nd inst. Of coure there' is not the slightest doubt of its carrying: the investment will be the: most profitable ever made by that city, and there cannot be as many of the |' electors of that city as would make cilors there isnot the slightest at. tempt at local or sectional yanings.

If the only aim of our famous Department be to create and foster expensive fraudulent monoplies the sooner it is known the better for the country ; and the people will know to apply the remedy. One price is quite enough to. have to pay for echool books and the additional price must be dis- continued. Some idea may be formed of the gushing fatness of the oily advantages of these copyrights and royalties when it is known, as stated by Mr Warwick himself, that he has paid as much as 81,500 to the Department for the right to publish the Readers, and also under its direction $136 as aroyalty for books sold during the first six months of the present year, A Magnificent Display of Silver.

The entire piece and every character in it were sustained and carried through ina most creditable manner while the moral bearing throughout was highly commendable and productive of good.

We belicve that at least nine out of every ten present would have regarded the ommission of the tableaux as an advantage to themsclves and an im- provement to the entertainment. There is another and not unimportant matter which the young folks should not lose sight of, that is their use of puch lights endangers the in- surance of the hall and should the hall catch fire while such lights are being used no insurance could be collected.

There were lots of splendid singing: The Messers Burns, from Brooklyn, are a host in themselves mot only in song but in every thing which tends to make a company enjoyable and interesting, and St. Andrew's society is much indebted to them for their favoring us with their presence. They sang many fine songs. Mr Rose gave a capital song and notwithstanding that we allihad a capital supper Mr Rose's ' Bacon and. were received with delight.
