® 6up +b C MP 4%, ABtrin, AHrGAE Arrscse he This is not the fact _ The Province never gave to any of the municipalities in Grey or elsewhere any such fixed yearly grant. In 1872 and subsequent years down to 1886 the moneys received from the sale of clergy reserve lands were dis tributed amongst the municipalities on the basis of population. These receipts formed what was called the municipal ities fnnd (See 18 Vie., ch. 2.) ‘ When the untrtahfuiness of The Mail‘s figures about the Provincial payâ€" ments to the receipts from the County of Wellington were exposed it simply said :â€"* Ot course, of course ; now let us turn to the County of Simcoe." It is rather weary work for our readers to be following these misstatements from county to county. But let us look at the article, *‘ How it Affects Grey." In that article it is said " the Provâ€" ince used to give in cash grants to the municipalities of Grey $2,888 yearly." L ho ui idlsinisisnt s thiiccacd c c The sum is this : Firstly, a hundred thousand Armenians have been slaughâ€" tered, with no security against a reâ€" petition, and with great profit to the assassins. Secondly, Turkey â€" is stronger than at any time since the Crimean war. Thirdly, Greezse is weaker than at any time since she be came a kingdon, Fourthly, all this is due to the European concert, that is, the mutual hatred and distrust of the wwer&" ‘"‘The pain, shame and mischief of the last two years in the eastern policy transcend entirely the powers of any language I could use concerning them.

Talking about loyalty to Brit ain he says: ‘So late as 1891 â€"though it suits the Liberals to deny it ‘nowâ€" the general election was fought upon that issue" meaning union with the United States.

There can only be one ending to the trouble of course, but those behind the the scenes think they see the paw of the Russian bear in the strife, and if this is correct, the end of the century may see bloody strife, â€"A great pressure is being placed. on the Ontario Government to make regulations that all timber cut under license shall be manufactured in Canada This is all right, but in yview of that $2.00 a M duty imposed by Americans on our lumber (while admitting our logs free,) it would be a good deal ‘righter‘ if the Dominion Government would put an export duty on logs. Editorial Note and Comment. THE GREY STATISTICS. «+ Gn +# + «* <Gi> + + The town of Niagara Falls is in holiday attire. Shops and business houses are gaily decorated with flags and bunting, the flags of both the United States and Canada being much in evidence. Rows of flags along the great grey bridge give it a bright appearance, while even the yard engines of the Grand Trunk and the depot itselt are covered with bunting. Those old relies of the past, the horse cars, of which there is a line running from Drummondville zo Lundy‘s Lane, each had Union Jacks at either end. On the American side of the river of course the Stars and Stripes predominâ€" ate, but the flags of both countries inâ€" termingled at both approaches to the bridge. The fact that the opening ceremonies were to take glace at 1 o‘clock this atâ€" ternoon in the centre of the new bridge was not apparently weil adâ€" vertised, for not more than 300 people on the bridge â€" gathered around the bands at that hour. The ’ Mayors of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York, accompanâ€" ied by members of the Cit Councils and the visiting railroad of%’cials, met together in the centre of the bridge. Three bands, the 13th of Hamilton, the Queen‘s Own, Toronto, and the 7ith Regiment Band of Buffalo played ‘‘God Save the Queen " and “%he Star Spangled Banner, " while the crowd cheered enthusiastically. Then the Canadian Mayor, Charles C. Cole, stepped forward and welcomed his American confrere, Mayor A. C. Hastings to Canadian soil. _ Mayor Hastings accepted the invitation, and ;“ M ni« Nlagara Falls, Sept. 23. â€"(Special. )â€" Ten thousand strangers are toâ€"day and toâ€"night making the formal openâ€" inz of the new Grand Trunk bridge across Niagara the excuse for one great carnival of fun and tfrolic, and the people of the towns on both sides of the river are turning out heartily to assist them. Train load upon train load of excursionists came in to day, nearly every train being so crowded that people had to stand in the aisles, and toâ€"morrow, if reports are true, the crush will be even greater. This is the greatest event, so tar as numbers are concerned, that Niagara Falls has had for a long time, although the openâ€" ing ceremonies at the bridge. if they can be dignified by such a name, were of the most meagre description. Still, fireworks, bands and free shows are satisfying everybody, and the bridge itselt, although of considerable imâ€" portarce tc the railway system of the Grand Trunk, sinks into comparative insignificence. The County of Grey receives now twice as much from the Province by way of grants in aid compared with 1872, â€"(G1omBz. It is plain, therefore, that no fixed yearly grant was ever given to the municipalities. ‘The amount at the credit of a certain fund was distributed year by year, and is now: similarly distributed as part of the school grant. They amounted to $71.703 in 1872, to $62,697, in 1877, and to only $17,137 in 1882. _ The balance to the credit of this particular fund beceming small, the Legislature authorized it to be added to the amount yoted for Public and Separate Schools. This has been done since 1888. (See 50 Vie., ch. 5. ) The amount so added in 1896 was $3,791.
