At the close of 1888. the time for holiday greetings. we take the op- portunity of extending to all the readers of THE LIBERAL the compli- ments of the season, and wish to all a Hapoy New Year_ The old year with its variety ot aspects, its ups and downs, its joys and sorrows, its superfluities and privations.. and its thousand and one ehanges is nearly numbered with its predecessors. But we are thanklul that amid all its vicissitudes ourlriends have gener- ously contributed to the success of THE LIBERAL and have shown theig appreciation of our humble efloits to contribute each Wt‘f‘k to their stock ofinlormation in lurnishing to the best ofour ability articles on current topics. items or local interest and budgets 0t news, by many a kindly word 01 encouragement. 1889 is Just upon us and With its ad- vent we desire to rem 'v our pleasant intercourse With all on old subscri- bers, and seek an introduction to the homes of as many more. we; make but a small show along- slde of our more bulky and more widely circulated city co' emporarics. yet we think that a village paper has as much A place in the educa- tion of lhe masses and in assisting to make more intelligent our lime communities as the mammoth Daily News or the monthly Magazine. 11 properly conducted it has as much influence for good in proportion to its circumscribed limit,as the great Globe or Maildiasin their more ex- tended circulation.

A neat, credvi. able paper does more for the ad- vance ofa town and of keeping that town and irs business men be- fore the outside pnhhc than any other institution in it,and if propeily conducted should he a home paper in every house. It is a lau‘ index of the inlelligence and enterprise of any village, for it shows on lhe face of it whether it is support ed or starv- ed. The city press is a great eclec- REHAIJND HILL.

HS; the various offices, even if time and labor have to be sacrificed in work- ing for the public affairs ol the villâ€" age. This lack 0t ambition for office is more apparent for the position of councillor than for trustee, which most municipalities is generally the reverse. As we have said on iornier occa- sions, we have no tault to find with our village Council. \‘Vhat we do object to is the manner in which they are elected, and lor this the electors themselves are responsible. Gentlemen have sat at the Council Board {or years, and we are sale in saying that never at a nomination have they been asked a question respecting their past acts or future intentions. This must be discourag- ing tor the Reeve and other mem- bers who, no doubt, are always ready to give an account of their stewardship. \Ve maintain that any person nominated for Reeve or Councillor should hold rterlain opin- ions, and should not be reluctant to give expression to those opinions. Likewise every mover and seconder should be called upon lor remarks in support of his nominee. The difficulty in speech-making has been more marked Since the nomination tor school Trustees has been held on the same day as that tor Municipal Councillors. The Re- turning-Officer has always held that one hour should be taken for the nomination of Reeve and Councillors and the hour lollowing tor nominat- ing trustees. \Ve do not profess to be experts in interpreting municipal law but believe the last hour could be welldiepensed With in accordance with the Ontario Statutes. Chap. 225, Sec. 103. clause 2 reads as followszâ€"“In every case in which notice is given the nomination and election of public school trustees shall thereafter be held at the same time and place, and by the same re- turning oliicer, and conducted in the same manner as the municipal no- minations 86C." 11 this 1110th were followed the elecwrs Would stay one hour for speeches when they will not stay tor two. 195d. lack Spring Oval Uil at Dllworth’s Drug Store, we sell at. same price that other stnres charge fur common Canadian Oil.
