MABKDALE, Ma 9. 1886, â€" i'be DomiBion Elections is not now '^^ectied^Jbefore next emnm». ^^The t^rohibition sentiment is constantly growing thioagboat the Dominion, and we may reasonably look for a general Prohibitaty liqaor Jaw in the near future. BALANCE ACCOUNTS, In every instance where it is possible •reait accounts shdald be paid in full at or about the close of the year, and commence the new year with a 'fclean sheet." This might be done as well as not in numerous cases where from mere oarelesness or neglect it is allowed to run from year to year, and probably end in a dispute: There are however numerous instances when full payment is impossible at the close of the year, and in ail such cases there •bonld be a balancing of accounts and an understanding between creditor and debtor as to the actual amount due, and the prospects of when and how it may be paid. The credit system has been a boon to many when rightly used, but the ruination of thousands, chiefly through its abuse. There are many, who after coutarct- ing a debt or running an accountj and not being in a position to meet the indebtedness when due, will evade meeting his creditor, and even make his purchases in other establishments rather than come in contact with him who has favored him with goods on time. Now this is as unsatisfactory as it is common, and every person who has been guilty of such ingratitude in the •past would do well to turn over a new leaf the coming January. By all means settle up at the end of the year if not by payment in full, then strike a balanse and have a fair nnderstandiug "short accounts make long friends." â-  j^y.j TO THE SLBUTOBS-ie?

Glenelg Municipal matters are not causing much excitmeut as yet. We understand Mr. Moffatt the present reeve is a candidate for re-election, and as far as we can Judge, will be elected whether he has oposition or not. He has filled the position with credit to himself, and we believe general satisfaction to the ratepayers. There is rumors of Mr. Biunie op- posing the reeve, and we would not expect an; better common sense from him. Mr. McCuaig the deputy-ieeve will likely be a candidate for re^eJection, as also Messrs. Laatb and Wilhams. Mr. Lamb has had onej years experience, which will no doubt be .a great help to him the com- ing year should he be elected; be is an honorable man and has, we believe, ' given general satiefaction. It is said that J. A. McMillen will 4ig(un E^ek election we are not certain however. Markdale is likely to have a man in the field, but ther* is nothmg definite yet' V i. In Euphrasia the old council are likely to be re-elected, so rumor has it, however it will be a surpri-'e if tbat township don't have an elecdbn, uid a hot contest at thai.

The laws introduced instead of bung sQch as everyone coold easily understand. are only calcolaied to increase litigation, a very on-, desirable thing for an Agricnltnral Pmvince. I am a strong advocate for manhood eaff- rage and shall radeavor to dfi away with intrinaciw in the voters' lists by its introduc- tion. I am opposed to any appropriation for Immigration purposes by tbe Provincial Legislatures. The timber policy of the present govern- ment is open to censure, owing to large blocks being disposed of, to the disadvantage of those whose means would admit of them purchasing smaller areas. The municipal legislation I consider is calculated to take power out of the hands ol tfaepeople wh ich is legitinistelr theirs. The time has now arrived when the in- telligence of tiie people demands that great- er powers should be conferred on both town- ships and country councils and by so doing the number of representatives in the Local Legislature instead of being increased as lately done, might be greately reduced. I also belive that the Educational depart, meat should be under the control of a non- political head. I am also strongly opposed to the monoply which now exists r^arding kite publication of our school books, and beUere that by allow- ing competition, the cost of the books, to the public would be materially Irssened, and by less frequent chanttes a greater saving would accrue to parents. I also venture to hope that the course I pursue in connection with the LandLnprove ment f and was in the interest of my consti- tuents and in the future should you do me the honor to re-elect me, it shall be my ut- most endeavor to look after the interest of those whom I represent. There are many matters to which it ia im- possible to allude m an address, but while I am sensible of the honor you did me, a common farmar, by returning me as your representative- I trust my course iu the House has been such, as to retain your esteem and confideaee.
