To the Baum; of THE LIBERAL : MB. EDITOR,â€"-As the giving of Bible Questions is a. popular, and seems to be a. pl;ofitable idea, I would like to have a hand in the speculation and by your leave would propose the following:â€"~“ Which of the Prophets sent out a news repnrter.

But he did not do it, but seemed too willing to entertain any proposal as long as it was likely to prove detri- mental to Mr. Mowat and his palty. If,. as some sayâ€"â€"-it would have been right‘for Mr. McKim to have knocked \Vilkinson down when the matter wasvat first hinted to him, i; could not have been wrong had Mr. Bunting‘pitched McKim down the elevator hole whenâ€"as he savs inals guilt That is all very well, but how many would have been willing to accept thevstory without some proof of their criminality, and no person Will think for a moment those crim- Although some people do not ap- prove of the manner devised to ex- pose those political conspirators, all agree that they should be made an example of, and we have yet failed to hear of any other way by which they could, have been caught. Some of our enthusiastic conserv- atives tell'us that the only proper mode (or McKinl, Balfour, &c., to have taken when first approached would have been to have resented the insult then and there. The great bribery scandal which has been occupying the attention of the public, as well as the press for some weeks past, is yet apparently far from being satisfactorily settled ; and, while it is already evident that such men as Wilkinson, Bunting and Meek have figured to a greater or lesser extent in the affair, it is more than likely before the Whole business is sifted, it will be found that other prominent men, not excluding the Dominlon Govern- ment have been implicated in the same disgraceful transaction. The whole iniquitous affair is greatly to be deplored, and should be iathomed to the very bottom, no ‘ matter how painful it may be to those concerned. It is to be regretted that the Mail and a few other journals have taken such a stand in the matter, as by their tone no blame Whatever ap- pears to be attached to this “ braw- ling brood of bribers," but, on the other hand no pains have been spar- ed to show in the worst possible light the means employed to entrap those parties who Were bent on the overthrow of the Mowat Adminis- nation RICHMOND HILL.

A tug of war took place last night at the Grand between foul picked policemen from Buffalo and an equal number of the Toronto Peale-rs ; tile Bisons proved more than a match for the home birds. A fire at \Vinan’s on Sunday morning was the cause of a. loss of about $70,000. The Evening Canadian after struggling against fate for some time, suspended publication last Friday. It was a vinwsy little sheet and will be missed. It was the only Roman Catholic daily published in the city. The Examinations at the Toronto Schools of Medicine were concluded last Suturduy, and many of the boys have gone home for a. rest. Wednesday, 2nd of April CENTRAL BANK 0F CANADA About noon to day the Fire alarm rang a number not on the list. It was ex- plniped by some saying it was the first of April To the Editor of the LIBERAL: A short time ago the Hiin Constable of the County of York applied to the County Council for an increase of salary. but as all his duties were not very well known no action was taken in lhe matter. At the next session he made application for an increase of salary,at the same lime. specifying his duties. which appeared from the communication to be very oner- ous.and accordingly his salary was raised one hundred dollars per annum. Bul still not being satisfied with his salary he must have another officeâ€"Dominion License Inspector at a salary of eight hundred dollars. Whether he received the oflice for past political services or for prospective serviCes or because he is an Orangeman (by the way the Inspector for the city is an Orangelnan also) so that he may feel the insult Sir John has dealt to them as a. body in simply doing nothing toward having the bill of incorporation passed 1 It is not known but it appears to be from some of these reasons that he was appointed, for why should a man from the city be appointed when a good man from your village made application and was refused. But the men who were capable of filling the office of Inspec- tor were not merely at Richmond Hill but all over the County. Have the High Constables duties ceased to be heavy as before. if so the County Council should reduce his salary at the first opportunity. If as numerous as forlmr y. then the Council should appoint a person who could give his whole time to the work. Hoping that when attention has been called to the matter, the tax-payers of the County will see that a proper person may ‘ be appointed to the position through their representatives. i West York Towhsliip.
