It is not our desire to cast any reflections on the citizens of Aurora in asking for that which, if granted, would un- doubtedly be a great convenience in their midst. Neither are we going By an article 1n the Aurora Bumm- 01 last week it would seem that the Reeve and Deputy-Reeves of that newly-incorporated and ambitious town purpose making one more des- perate effort at the opening session of the York County Council for the current year, to induce that honor- able body to grant permission to es- Why, it may he asked, do not these men throw off a yoke that has prostrated them in the mud of po- litical disgrace?

Mer- edith and Norquay long ago became the labor of Journeymen. Their own individuality is gone tor ever, and they are now forced to lean on one that Will cease to act as prop the very moment he discovers that the burden is not worth holding. Then again Mr. Norquay has just recently been made to blte the dust- Premier of Manitoba, he yet, at Sir john Macdonald's bidding, coverlly connived at the ruin of the province whose interests it was his first and sworn duty to guard. To-day Mr. Nurquay is in opposition, scorned and feared by all. There are, indeed, more than one who must find it difficult to join in the general chorus of admiration. Just now for instance two men, one certainly of fine natural instincts, the other of good natural abilities, stand disgraced and discredited in the eyes of their countrymen because they either could not or would not resist the voice of the charmer. Mr. Meredith suflered himself to be drawn into a vexatious and vindict- ive struggle against the rights of his native province. To serve the spleen of his master at Ottawa he cmisent- ed to become a party to the robbery and despoliation of Ontario. And one year ago Mr. Meredith reaped the reward ofhts conduct. Politi- cally speaking, he is dead, and noth- ing short 01 a miracle can resurrect him. It has passed in Canada almost into a proverb that it is imposstble to resist the personal blandishments of Sir john Macdonald. His ad- mirers, some of whom are also his political opponents. are never weary of speaking of his Winning ways, his wonderful magnetism. Yet we could never divest ourselves of the feeling that Sir John's popularity has always been due to the lavish distribution of pabulum of the gross- est kind. Favors to contractors, Offices to the needy, railroad subsi- dies to constituencies, such have been the means that he has employ- ed to gain his high place in public estimation. Of course, wherever there is a man of Wealth to chant the Premier’s praise, there are never lacking hundreds of the unthinking to take up the refrain. And so it comes to pass that while the coun- try is going rapidly from bad to worse, the author and contriver of all our national woes is greeted with the loud acclaims both oi those who batten on his gifts ard of those who applaud simply because they are docile creatures of command.

To establish such an institution at Aurora would to a great extent cripple both the schools at Newmarket and Richmond Hill. The south parts ot King and VVhit- church are feeders to our school here. but with another near at hand a good share of the attendance would naturally go to No. 5. The same thing might be said in refer- ence to Newmarket and the north parts ot the same townships. So that instead of having two good schools,as at presentthev would de- generate into three interior ones. It therefore behooves every 71'” m- ber of the Conncrl to consider the matter well, as each representative is expected to work for the welfare of the County at large, and not for any class or section.
