RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, Mal-.17, ’87 a: “we”: ssmgfiééégmgfi §Séd§1’§£ii'éi’e"fié§. TE Change~B. Grenuan. Changeâ€"Thus. Thompson & Son. We give the following ‘Peep into the Ministerial Fold,’ from La Patrie of Montreal. It must be borne in mind that in the last parliament Langevin and :Caron numbered nearly all the French members a- mong their immediate followers. .Now all that is changed. Their rival and bitter fee, under cover, of course, Chapleau, has the following, While Langevin and Caron are quite destltute. Thus speaks La Patric : “Sir Hector Langevinzand Sir A. P. Caron went in all haste to Otta- wa to get there before Hon. Mr. Chapleau. .Oncexthere, on the spot, obeying the precept, ‘Pass me the rhubarb, and .I will pass you the ‘ ‘senna,’ they heaped the most ful- some flattery on each-other lor the greater pleasure of the .crowds. There, before a vast multitude, Car-:1 -on once again consecrated his chiet,' Langevin.y as leader of the Quebec :section of the Conservative party. Butit seems that this was displeas- iing to Chapleau, who consuiered the proceeding as at least rash. Mr. (Chapleau pretends with some show .of reason that in the recent struggle the two knights were completely ’ilattenednvhile he had some success. Under these Circumstances, he can- mot'seezon What grounds Sir Hector ‘would pose "as chiet of a party which refused to follow him and to which 'he brought disaster. Accordingly *Chapleau set out 1n all haste tor Ottawa and we are going without doubt to be present at an explana- tion between those gentlemen. W'e quite‘prepared to learn that Sir Hector will have to pay handsomely tor the undue haste of his factotum 'Sir Caron. It is said that Chapleau is in a great rage at his eternal riâ€" '\'al, and that, if possible, he will treat him to some rude shocks. In any case, we are disinterested spec- tators. of the quarrels bt these gen- itlemen for whom we feel exactly the ,same amount of sympathy." @7112- (fiifieml‘ Thereare signs that the question of Toll Gates is about to receive very serious attention. It is to be hoped that all that may be either said or written on the subject may be free from ramcor and prejudice. The subject is ofvast importance to the County 01 York, far too vast, in- deed, to permit of its being approach- ed in any but the most enlightened ~spirit. When the common good is the goal proposed,personal likes and dislikes must be kept in rigid abey- ance. The whole question of Tall Gates is undoubtedly beset with many dif- ficulties. In our own county, much has been said on both sides. Yet we think we are strictly within the mark when we declare that public opinion is pretty general in favor of their entire removal. Nor is there here matter of surprise. Toll Gates are an artificial obstruction to the free aintercommunication of traffic and travelhng. It is a truism that anything that even tends-to intertere with either traffic or travelling re- tards trade, stunts enterprise, and narrows the individual horizon. We.are well aware that origin ally there were'cogent {SEASOUS tor the in- stitution of the Toll Gate. 'But that which in the first steps of progress may have been a necess1tv and a help often becomes in course of time a positive drawback to what it once gave assistance. To Toll Gates, then, as to all other things, will ap- ply the maxim that conservatism in what has outlived its usefulness degenerates into a mouldering de- structiveness. It is plain that in thecase ofroads which are the prOpertV of private .corporatlons the removal of their Toll Gates, that is, of their only source of profit on the capital in- vested cannot take place without due compensation. ,But in the case of a great public thoroughfare like Yonge Street, the question is hamp- ered with no such consideration. Yonge Street presents, in the main. this one great dtfiziculty. How is the money necessary to keep it in ,proper‘ repair [0 equitably raised? _-_- ‘_.AL.\_L At the very .outaet, we protest a- gainst d1viding;the street into sec- tions. and calling on we municipal- ities to look atter thbse (sections on \Whuih they border.

TOLL GA YES. ‘5'?! place, such a plan involves a gross injustice to the municipalities them- selves by sinking into in local con- sideration what ought to be a county care. In the second place, all ex- perience goes to show that in a mul- tiplicity of masters there is a fruit- lul source of evasion of duty, petty strites and jealousies, and utter dis- cord in execution and design. It may be laid down, then, as a fundamental principle that, if the Toll Gates are abolished, the roads must become the property of the' county, and be treated as a general county concern. This was made abundantly evident in the debate which arose in the Local House on Mr. Leys’ motion that the Govern- ment should give the required legis- lation for the abolition of what was plainly hinted to be a nuxsance. Dr. Gilmour, ot W'est York, in his characteristically clear and incisive style, exposed the injustice which would be done by the each-munici- pality-look-atter-its-own-section pro- posal. He declared that he was fully alive to the giievance, but that other means must be devised for its abatement. In our opinion, the nearest ap- proach to a practical solution oi the problem is that of Reeve Bruce, of Markham. Mr. Bruce advances a scheme ofgraduated taxal ion,whereâ€" bythose portions of the county which lie nearest the road in question may be taxed at a higher rate than those more remote. This, we think, is a scheme which requires lor its per- fection only a moderate share of arithmetic and fair-play. \Me shall be pleased Loget the views 01 our readers on this plan wuh a View to its practical development. ' Whatever conclusion, homever, may be arrived at, matters cannot continue to be long administered as they are and have been. Reeve Pugsle}, of Richmond Hill, has. call- ed our attention to the fact that the amount of money now expended on the sections Into which Yong'e Street is at present divided is determined in a most mysterious manner. He has been forced to rueiuily declare that each section receives 1ts 'pro- portion in inverse ratio to the a- mount ot‘traffic on it. Finally, one thing is calam. The money spent on roads comes out 01 the pockets ofthe tax-payers. It is, therefore, to them interest, to see that the return for then money should not be lessened by useless expenditures on gateâ€"keepers, or by undue expenditures on comparative- ly untrequented parts of the. roads. \Vest’s Cough Syrup. the.
