The ild geîîtleîîîar lias dîstnibuted so many bene- factions '30ir,rii out the Province that the de- l'ire for Iii-, iecovery s widespread. An amendrment ta the United States tarifi bill passed by the Senate, in favor of the free coînage of sil1ver an a basAs of$ r6 of sil- ver to évery $r of gold coined in future, was defeated Ain Congress by a Majority Of 125, the vote being go ta 215. Sir Oliver Mowat foutid a bonanza when he decided to tai the estates of wealthy de- ceased people, the term used being succes- sion tax.

O. ..M, the merchants and farmera îrom -thieves and burgiars. Mr. Farewell, the cotÜnty croüwn attorney, knowe our situation here. Moni burgiaries have been commiitted, and mtlc property has been stolen, yet the oftenders invarlably get ofi free, because before we con get the means of arreeting them they cati bè many miles froni our locallty, and pcrbape operatlng An sanie other place. The follwngla sample. A few days ago a res ~ bydessed young mon, pretendlng to e wr for a farmer who reeided a short distance froni here, called et a store for tobacco, explalning that he did flot have the money, but lie and hie employer would caîl An the evening and pey for t. The merchant knew the fermer and gave hlmn the tobarco. He neyer camne bock. The armner neyer knew there was such a mati. He neit went nto the drug store, played the same cerd there, end a short timne ater he wee peddling pîls end tobacco around the village. Because we bed fnot the mneans of detaining hlm we had to let hlm go, as we had to let mnany othere go on other occasions. Now, 1 would ask If our hotels hed anytb tng ta do wlth keeplng tbe citizects up aIlInlght watching for this thief. As far as out hotels are concerned they are conducted An as res- pectable a mnanner as any An the county, but a hotel keeper cannot stop a young mati just emnerging from bis teens, who bas found that he cati spit clear off tbe tocs of bis boots, frorn yelling on the streets. If we had the protection asked for this nuisance would also cease. Ini thie petition we only asked for wbet we are entitled to, and which 1 trust wAll lie gratited. [t appears strange that aL township as large as Mara, and be- longing to a cou nty likÏe Orntario, 'Continues to lie without protection. The petition was j only three days An circulation, and about one hundred signatures were attached. [f it had had more time for circulation at least two thirds of the ratepayers of the township 'Whitby would have endorsed it, and will endorse a similar petition if their signatures are re- quired to brin gto our township and village what thev juseUy, demnand. 4 , ~A.

If a mati who has beev guiity or obtaining i 9.property under false pretences bas the ev to hang round the village, why does not the -reeve of Mara or somne magistrate issue a n warrant for hirn and commit hîm to Whitby for triali? If the fellow were arrested An the hand and mnorning he could be committed for trial ,r on our before the evening train and could then lie miail. Let lodged In Whitby jail before 9 p. m. For our lves we cannot see why the people of 1them. Brechin have ta stay up all night ta watch a 1hutiured nliiti who s only doing a littie cheelcy faking. It is nonsense for Mr. O'Boyle hed with ta complain so because, as he al- r we do leges, the towvnship af Mare has no hemn, and protection. The municipal council is cloth oneycon-ed wlth authority ta protect the people of the ~tfY township, and the people of Bi-echiti have degenerated seriously since we knew theni eing peid if they have becorne euch a set of nitinies as r.
