It is very often “ catch who can.” I have seempeople who stand on the road, well in view, make signals for the car to stop, but it goes on quite regardless, or else slows up at such a distance that the poor unfortunates who are waiting have to wantinue to wait, as they cannot pre- tend to run so far. I have seen this occur repeatedly. I have no doubt that it is difficult to stop in going ‘down grade, but the rate. of speed is most dangerous and unnecessary. It is quite impossible for any living thing ,to get out of the way ; cattle, poultry and dogs have been killed frequently, and the cwners seem to just “ grin “and bear it.” It is a miracle how .children have escaped ; there will certainly yet be some terrible accident if the late of speed is not lessened and proper precautions taken to signal the 'approach of a car. Owners of cattle, 860., should of course see that their property is looked after.. but in cases where farmers own land on both sides .of Yonge St., it is not possible to be ..always off the street, which has to be crossed in going from one place to an- other. And it certainly is the busi- ness of the men who have charge of the car to watch out for obstructions ‘ ,as Well as for passengers. A conductor ion a car in the city would not dare to i think of reading a newspaper While the car may be going at high speed, or seven low speed: _ H A r Hoping you will kirridi‘yr'wiihéérzmthis letter in your LIBERAL paper. I beg to subscribe mys_el§ Both Houses of Parliament have ,passed resolutions of sympathy with their fellow subjects resident in the Transvaal who are struggling for constitutional rights against the un- reasonng petty tyranny of the half 'civilized Boers. rl‘he incidents at- tending the passage of these resolu- tions were significant of the genuine itfeeling which instigated their intro- duction,for not only were the speeches unanimous and enthusiastic, but the vote was accompanied by such cheers “and excitement as are only occasion- ally witnessed in ,iParliamcnt, to- gether with the singing of the National .Anthem in a spirit of fervid :loyalty. Canada has special reason for a sympathetic interest in the ‘ struggle, for she has had race diffi- vculties or her own to overcome, and the best that could be desired for our ’brethren who are today, the victims .of 00m Paul’s short-sighted folly, is fthat-they mayaquickly find as com- Qlete and satisfactory a solution of the trouble as has brought peace and rcontentment and prosperity to the Dominion. Nor is her sympathy of :-the lips only. Canada has time and time again shown her practical loyal- ty to the Empire, and should the oc- icasion arise once moreâ€"though there is excellent reason to hope it will not in the present instanceâ€"she will again be found where she is most needed. The tone of British new“- paper comments upon the incident shows that this fact is fully a ppreciat- ed in the Old Lands. DEAR Samâ€"With your permission I vwould like to say a. few words regard- ing the very convenient line of electric cars which run from Toronto to Rich~ mond Hill, and which will probably be running further before very long. 11‘0 The Editor of THE LIBERAL RICHMOND HILL.

Citizens ()fwToronto and‘other places of importance who are accustomed to the hrilliancy of the electric lights in the city find it extremely unpleasant to grope around in their search for the d9.an in our village. If nur citizens and our Visitors weie favored with a. little more light they eould pet-ambu- late our excellentsidewalks with much greater pleasure, and it; would help us better to observe the. scripture injunc~ Lion in referimce t0 the use of em- phatic words and brighten the opin- ions of strangers of the illuminating possibilities of uur otherwise pleasant village. When the moon is at its full, Queen City came up here to sprand the day. Many complimentary remarks were passed about; our pictnwsque village, but those who waited for the late car were not so enthusiastic in What they saw,ox' rather could not see. The saving of a little coal oil may look like economy on the part of the Ooum cil, but if this is the idea I believe it is false economy.
