The Newmarket Era takes, in no spirit of Jealousy, strong grounds against the County Council’s late action anent our High Schools Among other things the Era calls attention to the tact that at present Aurora sendsjust seven pupils to the Newmarket High School. This does not go to prove that Aurora is painfully pining for higher education. To set this in a stronger light, we may add that the little village 0f Maple contributes to Richmond Hill High School eight pupils. \Vhy should not Maple also have a High School of its own ? W'hen the rate- payers realize the full significance of the proposed inc'rease in the num- ber of our County High Schools, and the proposed reduction 01 the County grant to those that are now in existence, that have been estab- lished at a great expense, and that are now threatened with serious calamiy, we are inclined to think that they will insist on a sharp un- derstanding wi;h those who iavoxtd the change. It is not yet, indeed, too late to retreat, and we venture to express the opinion that retreat, at least in the matter of the reduct' ion, will be the safest course tor the innovators to pursue. as a member of the Manitoba Cabi- net, departed at once to Minnesota, took the oath of allegiance to Uncle Sam, and thus renounced in an es- pemal manner his allegiance to Queer. Victoria. V’Vhat sort of man is Mr. Hamilton ? Disloyal P Per- ish the thought. A Tory is never disloyal. even when he is sucking the very lile-blnod 01 his country. Only Liberals are ever disloyal. Mr. Hamilton is a Tory, theretore,a gentleman, therefore above all re- proach, and theretore loyal to the throne. that is. to himself. After three weeks of preparation, the Budget Speech of Treasurer Ross may be regarded as the real beginui-Jg of bus'aeLS in the Local House. The estimates are slightly in excess of those of last year, but the rare prudence and economy of the government still enable ihem to provide for a” the expenses of the Province wiihout enLrenching on the Capital Asseis. That our affa'rs are wonden‘ully well admin- istered is proved beyond doubt by the fai‘u-e of [‘16 Oppos‘tion to me' :- tain even zlfe semblance of a deba e (m 'l‘reasrr'e; ROSs' moiiou for Mr. Speaker 10 leave Hie chair. Mr. H. E. Clarke, one of :lte membe ‘s for Toronto. did Indeed indulge in a feeble aLtempt to creaLe an impress- ion that all is not as it should be. But Mr. G. B. Smith, East York's Liberal says that he should be per‘ mitted to deal in the market most favorable to his business, he is dis- loyal. If a Liberal declares that a Deople have some rights on which even a railroad should not be allow- ed to trample. he is disloyal. It finally a Manitoba Liberal,to escape the grinding monopoly that 15 fast choking the life out of the Prairie Province, hies himseli into Dakota, he is disloyal. So say the Tories ; it must be so for they know. \Vill the Tories be good enough to prop- erly brand Mr. Hamilton, Attorney- General in the late Norquay Ad- ministration ? Mr. Hamilton, the very moment that his salary ceased The Tories are never tired of ac- cusing the Liberals of disloyalty. It a Liberal objects to pay more for granulated sugar than is paid in any other country, he is disloyal. If a (Mn: fliheml. RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, Feb. 16, '88 LOYALTY VS. DISLOYALTY.

From our own Correspondent. Last Saturday night, about 8 o’clock, our Village ww thrown into a great ex- citement over an alarm of fire, which was at first thought to be ll) the Vllluge. but which proved to be a burn a little west of of the village, belonging to J. Lahiner, and rented by J. Dalton. A large crowd soon gathered, but to no purpose, as ev- erything was consumed, With the except ion of a few implements which were lying alongside the building. Besides the barn about 100 bushe‘s of barley, and 50 bush- els of wheat were consumed, also about 25 tons of hay. Mr. Dalton had $500 insurance on the contents, but unfortu- nately Mr. Lahmer had nothing on the barn, which will be a total loss. There is no question but the tire was the woxk of an incendiary, and it is supposed to have been a tramp who had gone there for shelter. Mrs. Charlotte Harding died at her residence.
