It would be well I'jr the ratepayers of the township to withold their pledges from all and every until perusal of the annual statement, which cannot be issued until after Dec. 15. No man should bo condemned until he bo proven guilty. Many questions possibly may be asked on the day of nomination â€" queries whoso a'lswers should decide whether the parties are capable or worthy to administer Arte- niesia's municipal affairs. Commissions not a few have been appointed. It would be well to know for what parpose> and whether necessary or not. Tliero have been law suits. Could they have been Hvoided 1 Who was the cause of tiheni 1 There have been large expenditures for bridges â€" whilst apparently necessary, was duo economy observed in their building ? Enough has been said to cause a halt, and if you add the valley road muddle to the list it emphasizes the necessity to halt and elect men of sound judgment, pi'ssessed of independent, straightforward, above board character, and withal those who possess a few grains «if guardianship of the poor ratepayer. The system introduced many years ago and por])otuated> with increased grants, to tha Blinds of many is erroneous. It used to be, in the beginning of munioipal government in Arteniesia, that every job, wherever (ituated, before undertaken had to be submitted to the board before Banotion was hud to it, but it changed gradually and almost impercep- tibly to a grant to each councillor to speed tm his ward, whether there wau abso- lutely a necessity for it or not, and until, say, twelve years ago, more or less, (COO VIM the outside limit, 9160 for oach ward, out of which any gra»el had to be paid fur, with smalt culverta included. But to-day, I am told, the grant has beun doubled and all bills for gr^ivol, all culrerta and works of scraper (in part) are considered as extras, so that thero is no limit to the expenditure. It is thought that, as each councillor is elected bgrlk* whole township, (and whether or ntit) no suoh grants should be made, but that the whole council should decide upon the advisabilily of every job in any ward before undertaken by the councillor. This would bo more businuds Uke Hml better for th* eouncillor of the ward It would re<iuire no argument to prove th»t not unfre^uently the expenses for i^nproveinent in one pirt of the ((DWiiship would be tuiedfd more than in another. Take, for instance, th» bridKea built this year in one of the wards. Are not these to bon- etit thrt whole township ?

It is supposed that matters of oven minor iuiporlance is publi.slied in the weekly papers, but my inattention or ignorance, or both, have caused mo not to notice them. I could not, and do not, understand why, for instance, when abutments for bridges are required it was nece.ssaay to import .stone tu do the work. When large buildings in our towns are examined and their woik- mimship, and bearing such immense weights as they do, one is surprised at any man that would sanction the expense nf importation, when stone c(mld have been delivered at a nominal sum, eay 1^2.25 per cord, could have been dressed at the stuue heaps, and drawing could 'Imvb been reduced to a minimum. Be- 'sides, farms would have been benefited thereby, and money would have been kept in the township. No person will presume that there is no stone in Arte- niesia. The durability of bridge abut- ments depends more upon the mortar used than the kind of stone. I merely mention these items that the public may receive intelligent infonnatiou upon them â€" not forgetting that the very best man is hable to mistakes. PRO BONO PUBUOO. The Qerms of Catarrh. Not only attack the passages of the head and throat bat finally reach the lungs and cause consumption.
