It in pretty g'l'nemlly understood that the office left vacant by the death of Mr. Feuton will be tilled at the close of the present ses- ~s~10n of the legislature by Mngndgerow, the member for Bust York. Mr. adgerow will make a first class county attorney, and at his hands the duties of the ofiice will be faithfully discharged. In the meantime, however. he will continue to represent his constituentr. The names of several aspir ants for the representation of the riding have been frcely mentioned, among others that of Mr. G. B. Smith, wholesale merchant, of Toronto. Mr. Smith has done consider- able work for the Reform party, and when he was in the Ci y Council he made a capital alderman. l‘lmt he would prove an accept- able successor to Mr. Badyerow is certain. There is nl eye the argument that .constitu- enciee should select local men, as in this way the true sense and woutimont of the .eountrv are brought out. But it 19 generally the case that constituencies contiguous to grunt centres are disposed to come into the city for n ropi'esentmive 1mm of the party. This may prove to he the way the Enfit York Re- fiormcrs will take. In reference to the above editorial firom the Toronto Telemann, we have only to state that it voices the opin- ion oi'the other city papers, of the Markham Economist, and also of the Richmond Hill LIBERAL. Ifwe are to have a local candidate, it will be made known. f not, we want no heeler, tor the services rendered by such an individual are sure to have been disreputable and consequently injurious 10 the perty. Now a heel- er is exactly what « Mr. G. B Smith is not. He is a sound Reformer, but his partizanship is of the kind found in the Hon. Alexander Mac- kenzxe, and the Hon. Edward Blake, It may lapse into mistakes, but never'into dishonesty. RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, Feb. 25, ’86. It will now be quite within the limits of economy to secure the services of a really good man, and on the selection of a proper person depends the success 01 the scheme. He should be capable in the widest meaning of that word. He must be made to distinctly understand that his position is no sinecure, and that a lull and adequate return must be given for his salary. Part of his work can be clearly defined. but part of it also must depend on his intelli- gence and honesty of purpose. Our Council cannot be expected to in- form him ot the hundred and one little jobs which in every village reâ€" quire prompt attention. Not the less should they be done well and quickly. There is one point to Which we desire to make special reference. The general overseer ot the village is to l‘e a constable with power to arrest on the spot. In this way mi ‘31 nuisances could be swept a- way. Among: others,we might menâ€" tion the nightly congregation oi troops ot boys who are a shame and disgrace to this community. They assemble bniore shops, they indulge in proranc and obscene talk,they1n- rlulge in raseally tricks, and at a tirne when they ought to be in bed, they engage in making night hide- ons. The proposal to have one man to take care of our sehool-bulldingb and also of the village generally is good, and we warmly endorse the action which the Board of Education has taken in the matter. ' This is but one of many evil prac» ticcs which i[ can he put in the ])(:W(il‘0ith::11€w official to stop. \\'u sincerely trust that our Council wili lay special stress on this most important consideration. Under the above. heading the Mon- treal Lu I’ull'ie.

The Otta- wa (,‘zfi‘isr'n is so glowing that it talks 0‘ an unparalleled success, of an in- describable enthusiasm. But un- lortunately, the Ottawa Free Press mentions a small incident which is indeed significant. At about a quarter past nine, says the Free Brvss. in the midst of one of the grandest oratorical flights of the Secretary of State, when the ap Iplause'ot the clique was about to break forth, a cxy of fire was heard. At once, a crowd rushed out to see iflhe ’fi ag-ueral. Oats ‘Wmted-Pntfierson & Bro. NEW ADVEfiTISEMENTS OUR NE W OFFICER A N INCIDEA’ ’ '. E1115 ST YORK. The democratic wave continues to run higher and higher. So far as its impetus is due to a wish for the sterling amelioration of workingrnen, its tendency is good. Unfortunate- ly, however, the present agitation has in it not a little of the socialistlc element,which is a euphemistio way of saylng that lt‘has a large admix- ture of rank blackguardism. Here- in will be found the substantial rea- son tor the general lack of co-opera- tion of the respectable class in the labor movement. where was the fire, and at the corn- er of George and Dalhousie streets saw this. Suspended toa telegraph pole, and swaying in all directions, was an effigy carefully prepared and strangely like the speaker of the ev- ening. The effigy was 51x feek high, had on a blue vest, white trousers adorned with lilies, and a Lafontaine tuque on its head. On its breast was a placard with the W0rds,‘Chapleau the Hangman.’ It was burning fiercely. ’1 his littfe incident threw a damper over the proceedings, for it was evident, says the Free Press, that the Bleu minis- ters are not so popular in lower town (the French part of Otâ€" tawa) as they formerly were.” \Vhen labor is discontented, it is pretty sure to vent its spleen on cap- ital, that is, on those who are pos- sessed of wealth,be it money or land. it never pauses to think that not more than one capitalist out of ten are really successful in business. \Vhen success, moreover, has been achieved, labor is apt to attribute it to any cause but the light one. If labor would only consider that in the case of the Vast majority of tor- tunes, 3 whole liletime, otten several lifetimes, has been devoted to their accumulation, its frantic outcry aâ€" gainst the rich would cease. If it would turther consider that thrift, industry, morality and intelligence are essential to all prosperity, it would doubtless find other grounds {or its misery than the oppression of the rich. It is indisputable that in England. for instance, a great part of file sul» faring of the working Classes is uuc, if not to actual int mpcmncmat lcast to the right which the pa 2r man Claims tohave his glass of bcmeow this i‘; not a case at right at all, but one of simple aritlmmtlc. How curv a man who earns only live shxlliugs a day, afford to spend one on what at best i8 a luxury? Loafing out '31. the question the moral consulera- two, it must be conceded by all that if the vast sums of money whlch are anuuahy oxpéfided for llquor were spent on men’s houses, the due-{ease of misery among the poor would be enormous. It cannot be denied, l]O\VCV(31',ll)at the greed ol capital has been guilty ol terrible wrong. The statutes of England, and ot‘onr own country, contain a sad commentary on the laziseness of lucre. Here, too, the working classes have practically the remedy in their own hancs. in the election otJoseph Arch to the Brit- lSl] House of Commons, they would appear to be conscious of the true mode of obtaining redress. Un- fortunately the masses, especially when ignorant, are gullible in the extreme, and all rascaldom is ever in conspiracy to cheat them out of what should be theirs. 1: is a dis- couraging fact that popular wrongs are always coterminous with credu- lity, tor credulity, which is but an- other name tor supine ignorance, abounds everywhere. The political significance of the present democratic movement is of douhttul omen. lf it aims at making men thoughtful, steady and industrious, if it thus aims at render- ing them fit to take an intellectual part in government aflairs, itsf'object must prove beneficial. If, however, its motiVe is only to take away from those who have in order to give to those who have not, all intelligence and respectability should firmly withstand it, Dirt is always dirt, and it is too much to ask a rational being to grow enthusiastic over the special kind with which he is to be bespattered.
