 V »-vi •Mil Up M lAi mm i f*r' iJti C. W. Butledge, Proprietor. MARKDALE, FEB. 6, 1890. NOTE AND COMMENT. â€"The second G. T. E. track has been commenced at Kingston Mills. â€" The Chicago Presbytery Monday voted in favor revising the Confession of Faith, â€" Senator Jonn Macdonald died at J. his residence, Toronto, on Tuesday last, aged 65. â€" Haldimaad election takes place •on the 20th February, and the nom- inations on the 13th. â€" WelUngton County Council are (petitioning the Dominion Government for national bank bills. â€" Mr.Parnell gets $25,000 damages from the London Times, the libel suit being compromised at that figure. â€" The New York Presbytery Mon- day voted to adopt a report favoring the revision of the Confession of Faith. â€" President Harrison's residence in Indianapolis was burglarized on Wed* uesday night and considerable booty secured. â€" The first party of colonists of the geasou from Ontario passed through Wuiuipsg, on Thursday, bound for Qu'Appelle. â€"Dr. Wylie, M: P. P., of Btayner, has been chosen as the Conservative standard-bearer for West Simcoe lor the local eleclion. â€"The (3. P. R. car shed at Ottawa, Sir John Macdonald's cart "Jamaica" iiud the other Government cart "Ottawa" was burned on Monday. â€" Parliament Monday, by a vote of 74 to 54, defeated the bill ta let corn come into the country duty free for the purpose of fattening cattle for export. â€" The town of Stayner has organ- ized a board of trade, with Alex. Nicol as president, H. Perdue, vice-presi- dent, aud F. J. Stewart, secretary- treasurer. influbnce among the manufacturers of the country. To check this wholesale buying up of American manufacturing industries, a bill has been introduced into the House by Mr. Chipmau of Michigan, which aims to prohibit an ahen from being at the head of a cor- poration conducting business in the country. It is not likely, however, that the bill in its present form will become law, for although some ol the members of Congress are restive at! the large investments of British capital those of the new States particularly are well pleased to have British capital applied in developing the industries o the XJ. S. Still the disposition seems to be quite general to place some restrictions upon such investments and to provide, if possible, that British capital shall be under American con- trol. It will be remembered that restrictions quite as stringent exist at present m tha district of Columbia whose "alien law" does not allow a foreigner to hold real estate within the district, and which a couple of years ago was construed so as to cover the case of a foreign government desirincr to make investment in real estate for legation purpo8e.s. This is certainly an application of the principle "Ameri- ca for the Americans," hitherto un- heard of, to see in this the logical result of the particular policy the nation has been pleased to adopt, while others will likely conclude that the presence of the great pork industry in their midst has had a bad eifect upon the uisposi. tions of the people.

Vital Satistics for '89â€" There were registered with the Township Clerk, during the year 1889, 62 Births, 10 marriages and 24 Deaths. The Entertainment â€" In connection with the Presbyterian church on h ri- day evening was not as successful financially as was expected. The committee was unfortunate in their selection of an evening, but villi no LONDON ONTARIO THE â€" The Lieutenant-Governor of On- tario went down and opened the single legislative body of that province yester- day with very little ceremony. A de- tachment of C Couipany had an op- orfcnnity of showing how nicely they could present arms, and there the fuss began and ended. Ontario is the only one of the provinces that has as such any assets that have a ready market- able value, and there is probably some connection between this fact and an- other, namely, that it carries on its ailairs after a simple, inexpensive and common sense fashion. â€" The Postmaster General's annual report contains many items of public inteiest. The total number of Post Oflces open in the Dominion on the Jut of November, 1889, was 7,838 against 7.671 at the close of 1887 88. D'lring the year 571 miles were added to the mail routes, and the annual travel now amounts to 25,756.678 miles. The estimated number of letters which passed througu the post offices of Canada last year was 92,- 686,000; of post cards, 19,355,000; of registered, 8.649,000 of free letters 3,872,000 of newspapers and periodi- cals, 12,269,000 of books, circulars, samples, etc., 17,058,000 of parcelp, 604,000 of closed parcals for the United Kingdom, 15,400. The total value of the stamps issued for the fiscal y*ar ended 80th Jane, 1889. was $2,- 978,506, as against $2,728.026â€" an increase for last year of $245,481. â€" Our neiphbors across the lin« «9em to be growing jealous of tbeix nsinp from the Motherland who have reeantly shown a remarkable disposi- tion to invest thdr money in Yankee enterprises and inSnstries.

Counter atiractious lu Williamslord and Chats- worth drew away the fun-loving citizens of the Centre. The program was a good one and consisted ot speeches, readings aud music from the juveniles. Equal Eights. â€" A meeting in the interests of the Equal Rights was held in Mr. Price's hall on Monday evening Jan. 27th, the chair being occupied by Eev. Mr. Hartley. The spealiers were Eev. J. B. Fraser and Mr. Busby, president and vice-president respectively of the North Grey As- sociation. We would be pleased to see all political meetings conducted as harmoniously as this one. At the close a large number £ave in their names as adherents of the cause and the election of officers was proceeded with. The Influenza â€" still maintains its sway over the community and some have suffered very severely but we are happy to state with no fatal results as yet. Board of Healtj. â€" The Board of Health met here on Monday, 8rd inst. There is no change in the personnel of the board for 1890. Very lifctJe baeiness was transacted. In truth it seldom has anything to do. If it could only deal with the iufiuenza the leople would vote them a bonus.
