There are very few villages of any importance in Canada that cannot boast of a. Band among its organiz- ations. For many years, and until quite recently, Richmond Hill’s Silver Cornet Band was ever ready and willing to assist at evening con- certs, re-unions, or any entertain- ment for the beneht of our citizens generally. On summer evenings when the weather was too warm to remain in-doors, how pleasant it was to listen to them discourse sweet music in the open air. But for some tune the members have ceased alto- gether to meet or practise. This is unfortunate, ior nearly every person is fond of music,and especially of that ikind which comes from a lot of well That the heads of the five Prov- inces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scolia, New Brunswick and Mani- toba felt the need 01 Unrestricted Reciprocity, and gave full and free utterance to that need, is a crushing reply to those serfs of coddled in- dustries who have so loudly con- tended that Commercial Union is only a tad of a few sell-seekers. If the necessities of Canada are thoroughly known to any, they sure- 1y must be to those that stand in such intimate relations with the peo- ple as do the Provincial Govern- ments. We never for a moment despaired ol the final success of the present great commercial agitation, but we certainly did not think it was likely to be triumphant in a future so near. Hon. Oliver Mowat presided over the Conference, and his shaping hand can be seen in the substance and form of the resolutions. Of these the two most important are that which refers directly to the en- croachmean by the Dominion Par- liament on Provincial Rights, and that which refers to Commercial Union. The remedy proposed for curtailing a licentious use ofthe veto pOWer vested by the British North America Act in the House of Com- mons is drastic, but seemingly With- out alternative. That proposal is to hand over all cases of contested Provincial legislation to the Privy Council of Great Britain. This is severe on our national dignity, but it has at least the merit of being a specific for the 1115 under which the Provinces all labor. The central figure in this inter- provincial congress was Honore Mercier, the brilliant. astute and powertul Prime Minister of Quebec. However great our dissatisfaction (a dissatistaction that we did not hesitate to explicitly record) with many of Mr. Mercier's latter actions, we knew that at bottom he Was a Liberal. Our fears that his new allies would swamp his liberal- ism by playing on a spirit naturally very ambitious, have been pleasant- ly belied. It would seem that he has been content to err in trifles in order that he might be able the bet- ter to gain points that are esteemed paramount by Reformers. ence, as embodled in the series of resolutlons a few days ago given to the public, have been wise, patriotlc and statesmaniike. It is with'pleasure that we can Conscientiously declare that the re- sults of the Quebec Conference are good beyond the most sanguine ex- pectations. Knowing the French inclination for money at the expense of Ontario, we regarded the meeting of the Premiers in its inception as sinister in design and provocative of mischief. But we are bound to say that the labors of the Confer- RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, Nov. 17‘ ‘87 THE PRU VIA CIAL CONFERENCE Changeâ€"Petley & Petley. Noticeâ€"R. Rutherford. Noticeâ€"Geo. B.

There are some fourteen or fifteen good in- struments, and if they are not kept in use they will soon become worth- less. handled band instruments. 'We are glad to be able to say that a move- ment has been set on foot, which, if properly looked after, may result in its re-organization on a firmer loun- dation than ever. An offer has been made by those who hold the instru- ments to present them to the Fire Brigade on the understanding that a Band be tormed, having tor its head a teacher,who will give lessons once or twice a week. When the proposition was brought up at the last meeting of the Company, it met Wlth special favor, and a committee was at once appointed to conler With a committee of members of the late Band, and report at a special meet- ing called for that purpose.
