On Thursday last Mr. G. B. Smithpresented a petition in the Legislature, from the Council of the Corporation of the County of York, praying that provision may be made (or the election of High school trusteesat- the same time and. in the samemanner as Public school, trus- tees. Although the request looks fair and reasonable,ywe doubt that the change in thevlaw would” bring about better: results... As far as, it relates to this section of country ex- perience teaches that» very, little in- terest is taken in elections tor school trustees, the rule being to elect by acclamation those who may be nom- inated on the spur of the moment, whether they are capable. or not. On the other hand MuniCIpal Coun- cils have time to select their men, and, we believe, asa rule. their ap- pointments are satisfactory. Mr. bmith aiso presented a petitlon from the same body pray- ing that county registars, sheriffs, (gown at§prneys,ctc., be paxd by I‘t scarcely seems honorable that Mr. Carling and his triends should insist, atter all the stages the case has passed .hrough, that it has to be decided by the Supreme Court. The Revising Officer who has de- aided against them is an appointee of the Government, and is not likely to give the Reformers more than justice. Three courts have decided against them, nevertheless they show a desire to defend unqualified voters. It ML. Carling gets the seat it cannot be claimed for him that helhas won it on his merits. lat will be remembered that the form of notice was given in accor- dance wuth instructions from the Revismg Barrister. In court, how- ever. this officer stated that the notice was faulty, but he allowed the appellants to amend the objecx tions. The Conservatwes appealed against this decision allowing the amendmentlbut the County judge declared he had no jurisdiction in the matter. The Liberals then ap- plied to the Queen‘s Bench. The decision ot the court, which was composed ofthree high judges. de- cided that the original papers were suflicrent, and granted a mandamus ordering the Revismg Barrister to proceed with the revision. The Officer obeyed and ruled that sever- al hundred names objected to by the Liberals should not be on the List. The Conservatives then gave notice of appeal relative to the or- iginal notices, and the Revising Barrister allowed the names to stand pending that appeal. By three to one the Court of Appeal decidfidzthat theoriginal notice of appeal was good. It is evident, therefore. that the names should have been removed from the list. the Supreme Court of Canada. Should Mr. Carling be successful it will only be by a technicality in the law. as his Conservaitve friends do not pretend to sav that the persons who gave him a maiority over his opponent were duly qualified voters. The plea of the Conservatives is that the several hundred names should not have been struck from the voters' lists because the Reform- qrs had not given proper notlce. London. Hon.

The report is intend- ed to arouse dissatisfaction and dis- sention in the Liberal ranks, and to induce them to condemn their lead- er on account of their defeats in the bye-elections. Mr. Laurier is an eloquent speaker, a hard worker, is trusted by his friends, has a most amiable disposition, a d grows more popular every time he visits this province. HlS private character is beyond reproach, and his public record 15 entirely unspotted. Lit)- erals in all parts of Canada are proud of Mr. Laurier as he is one 01 the noblest and most honorable men in public life to-dayv. Let no Liberal be drawn from the path of duty. They have a good leader and a good polio). Let them stick to both and time Will. bring their re- ward. “ We take A. A. Dnrion who carried the white lily of a stainless life to the sepnlchre and contrast him with the in- imitable Mercier who, like the amphibia, crept out of the slimy waters of Quebec hoodleism. ascended the highlands of religious sanctity, and with the dire witchery of pretence to'lk from the hands of unaulliei and exalted purin in Rome honors which were never claimed by a Bohemond, nr 21 Coeur de Lion, and re- turning again to the slimy depths of boodluism.” “ When Mr. Fuster was lifted from the platform «if the temperance advocate tn Minishrial office he practically turned his back upon the reform he formerly ad- vocated, by engineeringa policy of in- definite delay.

We brand his nmtion as an insincere act, to kill the as- piratinns and hopes of two million of this Dnminion.” The rev. gentleman's comparison of Mr. Mercier with the late Mr. Dorion placed the Quebec ex-Pre- mier in an unenviable position.

Re- ferring to the latter gentleman he said :â€" salary instead of fees. “'hilst much can be said in support of the present system by which a man is paid ac- cording to the amount ot wori: he has to perform, the teeling appears to be growing that, in large cities like Toronto, at 1east,a stated salary Would be more satisfactory than payment by tees.
