Mr. Duncan Graham, Warden of Ontario County, has been nominated as an independent candidate for the Commons in North Ontario. This is the result of a compromise between the Liberals and the Patrons in order to defeat the government candidate at the next election. A few months ago Mr. McGillivray slipped into Parliament through a division of the Liberal and the Patron forces, both of which parties are working practi- cally along the same lines. It now‘ seems that these two parties are de- termined not to waste their energies by a division, but to unite in support of a candidate who will truly repre- sent their views in Parliament. This union between Liberals and Patrons ('21 n be eifceied without any sacrifice ‘ of 1 a-iztciple on either ‘5 A reference to the minutes of the last meeting of the Board of Education on another page will show that the High School Inspectors are asking for better accommodation for our High School. They point out that after the summer holidays several new subjects will be added to the programme of studies, so that the In- spectors claim it will be impossible to do the work with two masters. Many of our citizens will regret that another teacher is necessary, as they know" that an extra teacher and an extra room will mean an increase in our taxation. We believe the Council will lay the matter of increased ac- commodation before the rate-payers who will settle the question by vote. Every citizen is anxious to keep down the taxation as low as possible, but all should realize the fact that to lose the High School altogether would be one of the greatest blows that could be inflicted on our village. In framing a tarifi‘ for revenue pur- poses it should be the duty of legis- lators to make the burden fall more heavily on articles of luxury, so as to relieve as much as possible the masses of the people. This arrangement has not been followed by those Who have manipulated the socalled National Policy. The following transaction will show that luxuries are not as heavily taxed as goods used by the working classes. An exchange states that in Toronto, a few days ago, two shipments of ladies’ wear were passed through at the custom house. One shipnent contained German manufac. ture of fine quality, usually sold to the better class of purchasers. The other shipment, from London, con -tained inferior articles for country trade. On the German shipment, the value of which was £140, the duty would be $230; whereas on the London shipment, value £122, the duty would be $385. Thus it will be seen that the poorer quality of Lon- don goods, which is less in value by £18, pays $155 more duty than the German consignment. The Board of Health By-Law gives householders and others until the 15th of May to clean their back yards, cellars and outbuildings. But this is no reason why people should wait until May to clean their premises. It is very important that such places should be cleaned as soon as the sun clears away the ice and snow. The warm sunshine always reveals in the spring of the year large quantities of decayed vegetables, bones, tin cans, and rubbish of all kinds, and the sooner this is removed the better. Don’t wait until the Sanitary Inspec- tor compels you to do it, but go to work With the enthusiasm shown by a good housewife in housecleaning time. If every householder does his duty the work of the local Board of Health will be comparatively easy. RICHMOND HrLL. Thursday, April 30, ’96 @- lehc Q‘cflihml. CLEA N UP.

Meredith has not yet publicly stated whether he will re- enter politics, and if elected, accept a cabinet position under Sir Charles Tupper. Should he decide to ofi‘er himself we may look for another spicy campaign sheet. The Eye Opener, which did such excellent service for Mr. Meredith in the last campaign, was printed on green paper. The next Eye Opener should be printed in orange, and clothed in language similar to that other famous document known as “ Facts for Irish Electors.” “It remains now for the electorate to decide the question as between the parties. Speaking for myself, I con- sider Mr. Laurier an honorable man, who was as anxious as anybody that the school question should be settled, and who would have been only too willingto helpthecommissioners when they went to Winnipeg. I do not believe he wanted to make capital out of this question at all. He was sincere as far as my conviction goes, and I have ever regarded him as a well-intentioned statesman.” In an interview with Sir Donald Smith, on the 24th of April, the new High Commissioner gave his opinion of Hon. Wilfred Laurier in the fol- lowing words :â€" premier ism. It is estimated that fully 12,000 peopleflistened to the speeches given in Sohmer Park, and all through the meeting the greatest enthusiasm pre- ‘vailed. English and French citizens of every shade of political opinion joined in the demonstration, and every person seemed anxious to show his appreciation of the good work done by the Liberal leader in the session of parliament just closed. We have no hesitation in saying that everything" points to Hon. Wilfred Laurier being the next Canadian King Township Council We believe we are quite within the mark when we say that no other man in Canada can evoke such a splendid popular demonstration as the Hon. Wilfred Laurier.
