Dear Reader - Before THE LIBERAL fiball liaVe paid you another of its welciune Weakly vi. its, 0' iristuias, with all its happiness and good cheer will have on IH‘ and gone, therefore. it takes this minor» tuiilty of adding its good wishes and Christmas greeting to those of wow very many friends In this the of fearivity and merry making, wln-n coin pliments and Christmas cards are fiyiugv and roast goose and turkey quail before SP3 SH" the npruised Carving knife and fork, and plum pudding goes the way of all lvllllv dings. THE LIBERAL would not forget. its friends and patrons, and it makes hold to hssume that its numerous friends will not forget. it. It is glad to inform you of its increased and increasing prosperity, and it has the egotism to believe that. it stands 890qu to none in popularity among the local jou’nals of the county. This proud position it has slriven hard to harder to will arrive even It would 'ust suggest by way J l . - attain and maintain. of digression. that in this season of heart gladdeniiig, an excellent. way of oladdun- ing the heart of the ilowncast editor, who silently sits at his desk and wags his quill all day long in his endeavirrs to please his diversifird readers, is by mak- ing an early remittance for the coming year's subscription, in order that he may be able to have a turkey for his Xmas dinner. Again,- to all its readers and friends, A HEARTY AND MERRY CHRIST» MAS AND A GLAD New YEAR. TEMPERANOE A ND PARTY. It must be somewhat inortifyiug to lifelong advocates of the temperance cause who voted for the present Govern~ ment to observe the almost universal standstill of all temperance effort. So for from sounding the advance and charg- ing the eliciin as in former times, tem- perance organizations find it. all they can do to hold their own. The Templars, the Alliance, the Sons of Temperance, and kindred associations have met and Warmly protested against the threatened interference “ith the present law for the restriction of the Liquor Traffic. That. the Licensed Victiiallers gained an im- portant victory at the last General lili tion must be conceded from the rejoicing manifested at the time and developements since. During the Mackenzie regime, teforiners and Conserviitives alike, felt that there was a probability of further Legislative aid to the cause. To a. Depu- tation who waited on him Mr. Mackenzifl said : “Gentlemen, you have the Dunkin Act. Try that, and if by passing it I see the peoplewant more Legislation on the matter, they shall have it." The advice was taken. The Diiukiii Act was passed in a large number of counties showing conclusively that the people wanted pro- hibition. The Dunkiii Act was a failure for want of men and machinery to wolk‘ it, but the answer to the popular voice was the gift. of the Scott Act which, but for the indignant protest of its friends, irrespective of politics, Boultbee would have strangled. Now the friends Temperance of both political parties are not making the least effort to advance its interests. The llefoi‘mers, knowing it would be useless under present circumâ€" stances, and the ConserVatives tacitly ad- mit that it would bu labor lost. But \“hile 'l‘eiiipcrance men are quiescent the Licensed \r'lCtllflllUi’S, are active. It is not to be supposed that the party in power should receive the almost unani- mous vote of the Licensed Victnallei‘s and their adherents from Nova Scotiw to of British Columbia without being conipell ('d to make some acknowledgment of errati- hide. Hence the agitation for a. relax- ntinn of the present very necessary re- strictions on the traffic, so that we are very safe in presuming that whatever may have. been the business of the depu- t ition from the Licensed Victusllers who waited on Sir John (and we are as much «lispased to receive the statement of the Globe's reporters as the word of the whole fame of Brewers and Distillers, interested parties, whose names were affixed to the ifoiiial) that their petition did not. con- tiiii many clauses in favor of temperance, or many prayers for prohibition.

UNICIPA L MA 'I'TERS. Today is the dzw of municipal nomin- ations and matters are very quiet in Richmond Hill. In fact, there is no live question to arouse the attention of the people or create any excitement in muni- cipal matters, and it is more than proba- ble that the old Council will be elected by acciuiiiation, though there is a feeling In Some quarttrs that some changes would be desirable. They may take the form of act-ion. It too had to let matters go so quietly as this, at 0. time when everybody likes to indulge in a little merrinient, though it saves the ex- is almost pense of an election. There has been' some small talk of running tw0 or three entirely new tickets, but this has been talked of just for past-time. In Vaughan things are also very quiet and it. is not improbable that the entire Council will be reelected by acclamation, though there is some quiet work going on to oppose some of the old members on It will not amount to political grounds. much, however. In Markham it is probable that politics will make it lively for some of the old members, who will be opposed on these grounds. Some of the old members will be unopposed. ’J'IIE GLUB J‘S CHANGE. At it meeting of the shareholders of the Globe Printing Company, held on Satur- day last. the Managing Editorship was taken out of the hands of J. Gordon Brown, and his position will be filled by John F. Taylor. This is a severe blow on Mr. Brown, who has spent his lifeâ€" Woi'k iii striving to build up the paper, but if the Globe was to be the organ of the Reform party, it was a necessary step. ltlr. Brown, like his late brother, I was a man of strong individuality. which , was always placed before devotion to: party, and for.whicli he was to be ad} l l mired ; but it made his paper the organ of Mr. Brown and not of the. party. It w.ll now be run more in harmony with toe principles of the advanced Liberal party. A GENERAL EXCURSION. The announcement has just been made that arrangements have been concluded with all the Railways in Ontario lry which a Grand General Excursion will be given from any station in thc Provmce to Toronto and return for single fare. This excursion will beheld in connection with the Librral Cnln'i'l‘tioli in Toronto If the ream was “v.11 on the Std and 4th of Januaryme single fare tickets will Le is..nrd to an) hotly, ‘ from any railway station on the 2:11, Iii".

The insatiable gluttony of the C. P. R. Syndicate and the Complete subordination -of the Domiuiuion Government to its imperial commands is becoming more and more manifest. The Government gave a grant to the Manitoba and South- Westcrn Railway. which it now cancels. throwing the railroads itito the hands of the hands of the C. P. R. Syndicate. who will claim every Odd‘lllllllbel‘tEd section on each side of 'the road, and thus be- come pioprietois of half the rich coal through which it runs. Delegates who may not. be able to get their proper cridentials from the. Associa- tion by which they are appointed as well as every Reformer who can get his cre- dentials signed whether a delegate or not, and won will be heartily welcome to the Convention, can obtain them after reaching Toronto. It. is therefore to be hoped that none still remain away because he is not. appointed a. delegate. All that is required is that some friend who can certify to his being a Reformer attach ' his name to his Cl‘é’llt‘nldulfl A new double [mmal card has been prepared and n now being issued, which will be a. great conve iience to the public. Erich half of the card will bear a one cent p0stage stamp impressed thereon, and the ordinary regulations concerning postal cards will apply. They will be sold for two cents to the public. They will be very convenient as a card and prepaid reply card which the sender Would so I often like to include. The large tract of Country lying b.- tween Manitoba has been divided into four provinces. Saskatchewan and-As- siiiiboia immediately join Manitoba on the west, and Alberta and Artllnbasca lying between these and British Colum- bia. Thirteen new post offices have been ertablis' ed in these i-i-ovinces. mm" “""“‘"' "‘" A NOTED BUT fiN'rImn WOMAN: [From the Boston Globe] Messrs.
