The form of ballot paper will be about as follows, and the vote will be Chicago has been placed under mar- tial law. After one o'eloek each night, until such time as the order is rescind- ed, half of the police force is to be put in eitizen's clothes and thrown upon the streets. These men are to stop and question every individual found on the street after that hour. If satisfactory answers am given the citizens will be allowed to go in peace. If their au- swers are not, satisfactory to the police the men accosted will be taken to the police station. The measure is made necessary by the large numbers of highway robberies and sandbagging which have occurred of late. Complaint is often made as to the large number of text-books which pu- pils are required to use in the public and high schools. But, from a report recently made to the Legislature, we learn that the number of these has been greatly reduced, for which the present Minister of Education deserves all the credit. It appears from this return that 25 different text-books were in use for public schools in 1867, 1 that 55 were in use in 1876, the last year of Dr. Ryerson’s administration, and that 53 were in use in 1883, the) last year of Mr.Crook’s administration. 1 From inquiries made at the Education Department we now find that the text books in public schools, counting the Readers as one series, as is done in the preceding enumeration, has been re- duced to ten, and if the text-book on agriculture, which' can only be intro. duced by a resolution of the Board of Trustees, be omitted, then to nine. In schools where the French and Ger- man are taught there is also an option, in favor of bi-lingual languages In either cases the number of text-books necessary for a public school course is limited in the majority of schools to nine. It is gratifying to observe that the diversity of textbooks, which was so confusing to the teacher and so ex- pensive to the parent, has been finally overcome. The Conservative Convention for the County of Peel was held last Satur- day. Mr Richard Blain, warden of the county and reeve of Brampton, was elected as the party candidate to contest the Commons at the next Ihr minion elections. Mr. John Graydon, reeve of Streetsville, was also selected to contest the next; election for the local House. Both candidates are strong temperance men, Mr. Graydon being the candidate of the plebiscite organization for the county. Both seats are now held by Liberals. Last week & committee of the Pats rons of Industry and a committee of the Dominion Trade Congress were engaged in considering points of agree ment on which the two bodies could take common ground upon publicques- tions. The matter will be further con- sidered at the annual meeting of the Patrons [next month or in January, when it is expected that a common basis of principles and actions will be, arrived at. i The WATERLOO COUNTY CHRONICLE from now until January 1, '95 for $1.00 Ten new battle ships will be com plated in Great, Britain next, year.

Arrest of Young Harder and two Students. MONTREAL, Nov. 20.--.Three young men, two of whom are students and the other a son oi ex-Premier Mercier, were arrested at an early hour this morning for attempting to blow up the Nelson monument on Jacques Cartier square. It leaked out that a. plot was arranged to destroy the monument, and the matter was all thatwas talked about in the city hall circles. The police received a. notification and cap- tured the three at an early hour this morning on Jacques Cartier square. Detective Lafontaine and Constable Suthergill made the arrest. A large piece of dynamite was found in the young men's possession. They are held at the central station. A leader who combines youthful vigor with all the advantages of age is hard to beat. Ontario Grits have a conqueror in their own Sir Oliver, and their prayer is "long may he wave." The name; of the young men are Honore Mercier, eldest son of ex.Pre. Ontario's Old Man seems tohave all the strength which a youthful leader could exercise in the service of the party. He has the Wisdom, not to say the craft and cunning, which ex- perience has taught him. He has the respect also which his years of distin- guished and honest service have won from fellow-countrymen, without re- gard to political differences. Other provinces of the Dininion are wiser than we. Throughout the length and breadth of rural Manitoba, not a house, not a barn, not; a fence, not a well, not an orchard, is huzrwl; as the Toronto land speculatois have found out to their cost Throughout British Columbia not an impvoreir,cr1t is taxal at more than fifty per cent of its value, whilst the land is laxrrl a hundred per cent, and every municipality has the option of removing taxation altogether from improvements.

Why should not, every municipality in Ontario have the same prisilege?

And in con [motion with this it should he remem- bered that a tax on the storekeeper's stock of goods is not a. direct tax paid by himself but is an indirect tax paid by his cuslomers.

The police got wind of the young men's intentions,, and pounced upon them while they were about to fire the dynamite car- tridges, a. number of which were found in their possession. They have been released on bail, MONTREAL, Nov. 21.--The whole details of the plot were divulged last evening by one of those concerned, Gaston Hughes, son of Lieut. Col. Hughes. He says that on Friday last he, the two sons of Mr. Mercier, young De Mattingy and Lelland met in Hon, ore Mereier's house and concocted the whole plot by which they were to blow up the monument at one o’clock Mon- day morning.

Rev's Hamilton and Eby also delivered short addresses. Mr. J. G. Hurst acted as chairman and a number of young people supplied music. Why should the slow paying customers have such a benefit be- stowed upon him. Shonld not the cash customer have a benefit given him instead. will be a grand success. Cash paying customers are awakening to the fact that they are obliged to share up with the merchant to pay for the long credit customers. _ They have a choice stock and their prices are lowest.
