The Dominion election campaign is go:ng on very quietly. Frorn present indications f' people do flot intend to excite themselves [, greatly over the matter. That's right. Cool k heuds are the thing. Those wbo tiy off the r; handle make poor saemn The Queens Pnvy Council bas at last handed down its decision on local option. The Provincial local option Law is held as k being valid, but the Provincial goverrnent bas flot authority ta pas. a generalp rohibit- ory measure. Frý m a local stand pint i t Ik may be stated that the local option law of Pickerinîg is sound, and iili now b. en- forced. The will of the people there bas long been baffied by tbe muddling and in- decision of the courts, but ail will corne rigbt in the end. The Province will naw Y bave ta fight out its *îght to tai brewer and dsilmfor wbat they manufacture for sal wthn heProvince. We ageneral passed by the Dominion parliament, but the whervera cuntysee fi topass it. How ureaiand unsatisfying is that poli- tica prferentwhich only cornes ta a man in his dying heurs ! And what a travesty is it upen this party system of reward that no- thing can be accorded a worthy man until he bas sacrificed his life and strength, and oftimes his substance, in partizan service! One bas to labor and wait--tintil sornebody's boots are ernpty. There are only a few men in cacb party who have very strong chances of secur-ing public offices, and it is a common remark among people that these men are waitîng for dead mens shoes. There is certainly a stron2z temptation ta sucb men in covet another's officiai position, and to wi-sh fhauthf' may die!f How horrible is the thought ! Would our country's service b. enhanced if men of youth, vigor and bright- nees were sought out and placed in high position as a matter of competitive rnerit, and then advanced on their experierice and success? Surely it is flot tooeUti)ian a hope to express that such a state of) affaire mmy exist when our rnethods of gove-rnment shali becorne as pure and as patriotic as they should be at present with our intelligence and education. Surely the day will soen pass from us when we will rec zie thaita the victor belongs the spails. Cqfristianit y, humani intelligence and the public service bids us b. mnceasing in our eflorts at reform. Dr. Eastvoods Compimatt02fLibel. Out article of three weeks ago regarding Dr. W. F. Eastwood's charge of libel proved unsatisfactory te his solicitors, Messrs. Dickson & jobnston, se we placed the mat- ter in the banda of Messrs. Dow & McGilli- vrmy, to ascertain what would b. aur further duty in the matter. They wrote Messrs. Dickson & Jobnston ta the effect that the publishers of this paper destred ta houer. ably meet every obligation placed upon the=n by the case, and to remove any j ust cause ofecomplant. -and asking what Dr. Eastwood'. solicitosrs would suggest for us ta publish. They declined te place amy- thing in forin for publication, se we can only express aur extreine regret if the article complaiued of, which we-published upon the Alger trial, was se coustrued b y any person as ta impute anV violation of Iaw te Dir. W. F. Eastwood. Wc need not add that our views were expressed purely with the public interest in view, but if anytbing in it can be or has been se construed as te impute to Dr. Rastwood any violation of law in con- nection with insurance matters, it does both bits and us an injustice, anid we withdraw it fully. Further, we take the opp>ortunty te repeat our disbelief of any intention on the doctor's part ta assiat iu any way to wroug the insurance companies. Without affording us the opportunity of publishiug a further explanation that uught have been satisfactory W~ Dr. Eastwoodmand his solcitors es sugcse iu the lktter of Messrs.

The rnany tbousands who gath- ered to take part in the last sad rites, the sad faces betokening serrowful bearta, the all-pervading hurnility of ail, gave token ai a feelitng and an occasion not often witnessed in our poar lives.

Soon he was chairman sud was a member until its deaLh. 14e join.d the militia at the tirne af the fenian raids, snd by promotion was seen surgeon oif the 34th battafion, holding the rank ai lieutenant-colonel in the medical service ai the limne of bis deatit. He took a great inîercst lu the civic affairs of Oshawa, and was reîurncd as reeve frons r876 te î88o>. Then he served as mayor froin î88o te z886, retirin g with a grand récord. He bas been a member of the Oshawa board of education a greai many yeams His active efforts on behali of the Liberals led ta bis selection as their candidate for the Commnons Ii 1887. Although no special mnention of bis name had been made betore the vote was taken every delegate ta the convention rnarked bis ballot for Dr. Rac, a tbing unpreccdented in sncli conventions. It reqîuired no motion ta make bis nomination unanimous. Five years ago lie was appointed a license commissioner, and bas been chairman ever since. Finally lie was appeinied counrv registrar a month ago. He was a Free Mason, being D D.G. Wd. two years ago; was an Oddfellow af bigh hot r and degree; a Workman, a member of the R. S. Williams' piano works benevo- lent society, and of many ather good institu- tiens. Deceased was a Prcsbyterian, tbougb clergymen ai ail denorninations and creeds attended bis body ta theg rave. H-e took an interest in everytbîng an d everybody. In 1865 biernarried Miss Elizabeth Currie. daugbîer of the late John Currie, who sur vives him, togetber witb four grown-up sonb and a young daughîer. Personally Dr. Rae was a warm-bearted man, one whose sympathies were excessive. In the hottest af pelitical fights bis appantents found in birn a genial and affable but ttrong and derterous fighîer, whose thrusts were se tempered with open manliness that they learned ta love him, even politically, and eoIn l the universal regret at bis loss One i as only te, read bis career ta know ibat Dr. Rae sacriticcd bis life for the public, reserv- lug nothlng te bimself, and seeking no re-- ward until almost the day of bis demis..

Genuine worth, p ure unsel6ishness. ceaseless buman- it y, and ifelong love for bis felows were among bis attributes. All bis public honors came ta hlm unsolicited, bamrng, probablv, the registrarship, ta seek which was certain- ly no dishonor ; and every trust was per- fornîed wîtb a fidelity mosI znarked. Con scions, ne doubt, of many shortcomîngs, but happy in the tbougbt of having been of se great service ta bis counirymen, hie passed ta bis reward leaving a memaory revered by ail whe ever knew him.
