A flerce political battîn was waged in North Perth, both parties exerting tbem. I I I I CHU.Lýý- 0 $16,000 FOR A P. O. One of the most reckless of propoEed expenditures made by the Conservatives at Ottawa this session is the one made by Col. Ouimet to spend,$16,000 upon a building at Laprairie with 1,200 popula- tion, and a postal revenue of $433 a year, while W(oedstock with a population of 9, 000, and yielding $15, 000 -a year is to have no building. Teo mueli time cannot be devoted to the exposure of sucli out- rageous public jobbery and robbery. The enly excuse Mr. Onimet can give for ask- ing for $16,000 for a _post office builin at Laprairie is that the place is 'an his- torie spot.". There are a great miany his- torie spots in the Dominion. If public buildings are te be erected as monuments Mr, Ouimet should ask for grauts to put up buildings at Chrystler's Farm, Chat- eauguay, Pddgeway, Pigeon Bill,, Fish Creek, Batoche, and Çut Knife Hill. The real [reason for the Laprairie job, says the Ottawa Free ]Press, is the fact that Mr. Pelletier, tbe Tory member for Laprairie, expects to have te run aby- election sbortly, hence it is really a bid of $16,000 f or the constituency.

I bave ne wish te poEo as the champion of our local clergy, for tbey are able te speak for themselves. But "Vulcan" steps eut of bis way te have a fling at a respected and venerable minister cf the Gospel whe was invited by the paster cf the Methodist churcli te preach te bis ably of the sermon, wbile at the saine time the epinion was expressed that the delivery mnight be improved. But "Vol. cari" is evidently anrioyed that a faithful minîster cf Christ should get a word ef praise. I h-ave lived in this town for sev- eral years snd maIre a practice ef attend- ing churcli. I was in the Methediet churcli on Commuhien Sunday snd heard the sermon preached by thiis minister whose effort on that ùccason vou saw fi te speak kindly of. Yeuz- critiiiim was fair and lust. The sormon was one cf more than usual merit-clear in cý,ncep- tien, vigerous i thought, andl esrnest in 1 its presentation. Indeed, if it had been preached by sonme cne who had giveni more attention te the cultîvatien of the1 graces cf oratiry it would have been well nigh faultless?. It may bc men tal obtuse- ness on my part, but 1 fail te see what motive but au en'dous one ceuld lead "Vulcan" te pen'such an epistle.
