iiik" This change in the Act will have the effect of producing better administration in the smaller municipalities. It will enhance representation and minimize sectional jealousies. Ward dickering has been the curse of cur councils. It; has disgusted good men and given a free rein lo the ambitions' of unworthy applicants. The amendment in question makes it obligatory upon towns of 5,000 and less to cast; a general vote for councillors, who shall not number more than six. In Waterloo there will next year be a big out in representa- tion, At present it has a Connoil com- posed of a Mayor, Reeve. Deputy Reeve and twelve full privstes. E ght. positions will be wiped out; by the new Act. Thee Waterloo will be the gainer thereby thereis every probabili- ty. No student of municipal politics would, having in view the evils of ward representation, cure to prophesy otherwise. Quality, not quantity, will count under the close inspection and supervision of an aggn ssive and wide. nwake elecorate, such as that of Water. loo is. Our sister town is to be con- gratulated upon the outlook. A complete set of the State Insur- nnce stamps of Germany was recently to be seen in New York. This insur. ance against sickness, accidents and old age is compulsory, and an idea of its extent may be had from the fact that 18,000,000 persons were so pro- tected in 1897, and over 16,000,000 marks were paid out in compensaticn to the victims of 381,000 accidesre, Gide from the amounts paid for tik.. ness and pensions on account: of old "ts.-dGrper's Round Table. The Brantford Expositor strongly endorses the position cf Sir Wilfrid Laurier in refusing to pledge himself to introduce a prohibition bill next session, should the plebiscite go that way. It concludes: "The Government is justified in waiting to see the result of the Piebiecite vote before committ- ing itself unreaervedly to any particu- lar cents". The Expositor has always contended that the nature of the ma- jority cast in favor of the plebiscite must always be an element in deter- mining whether or not. even from the standpoint of the prohibitionista, it would be wise to enact prohibitory legislation. A revolution in Spain is said to be a matter of days only, perhaps of hours, It is to be hoped that this is merely the judgment; of outsiders in regard to a situation which they do not quite understand.

Kreis Montschau, Keenig Reich Preusen, May 14, 1823. After reaching the age of twenty years and serving the time required in the army of his native land he emigrated to Canada, which was about fifty-five years ago. His firet venture to make his own living in the New World was in Berlin, then a small hamlet. Here he learned the tailor- ing trade. On the 9th of September, 1851, he was jeined in wedlock to Miss Mary Narbgang, by Rev. Frederick W. Bindeman. They were blessed with seven children, viz ', Eliz sbeth, living in Berlin; Nmey, near Breslau; Caroline, in Berlin; Nancy Ann, in Cleveland, o.,. Anna, in New Bruns- wrck, New Jersey ; Henry, blacksmiih in Sr. Jacobs, and William in Lima, o, The mother, at present in tho 67th year of her age, together with all the children, survive the departed. Deceased, while in Berlin, met with several serious finsueial losses. He and a brother built what is now known as the Grammar School, sinking quite a large sum in the venture, He ef er. wards kept a hotel in Strasburg, prob- ably about forty-five years ago. He has lived in Conestogo about forty-one or forty-two years, where he worked at his trade. He was a. member of the Lutheran Church, and the burial ser- vices were conducted by that denomi- nation on Monday last. The funeral was largely attended by relatives, friends and neighbors who assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to a worthy' neighbor and friend, Largest Cheque Ever Issued From the Bank of England -irapsut Must Now Get Out of Wei-Hai-Wei. London, May 8.-At the Bank of England Saturday morning the Chinese Minister handed over a. cheque cover- ing the amount: of the Japanese in- demnity.

There died in Conestogo on Sstilty day morning at two o'clock, May 7th, 1898,0ne of the village's oldest cicizeng, Mr. Joseph Gilles. While the deceased had already attained the advanced age of seventy-five years, old age was not the direct cause of his death. About a year ago a growth of a cancerous nature began to develop on the side of his neck, which gradually became more aggravating and painful, eating into his Vitals despite the efforts of the best medical skill to prevent it. The malady finally reached. the internal parts of the heck, and then it was only a ques- tion of weeks and days when the suffer- ing patient would be compelled to succumb to the inevitable moment which none of us can avoid. But the last minutes of the sufferer were calm, and in spite of his terrible affliction he passed away peacefully, while his 'children and neighbors s‘ood around his bedside. _ _ The sixteen steamers built this sea- son st Vancouver tor tho Klondike have distributed half a million dollars.

Here we see distinctly, he says, the anti-Jewish movement reaching its climax, and Russian ambition for the possession of Palestine at last fully worked out. Mr.Simpson’s speculations are interesting, but not conclusive.--- Mercury. _ Rev. A B, Simpson, the well-known Christian Alliance leader of New York city, is interpreting Scripture prophecy in the light of current; events. Mr, Simpson deduces that any hour may see the outburst on the eastern shores of Asia of the most prophetic ooLilict of modern times, in which Russia and her allies on one hand, and England with the irdlaenee of the Islands and perhaps the alliance of other Anglo Saxon nations, shall meet the onset and check her determined advance by the throne, which he declared was not responsible for the situation, seems to have been enthusiastically received by the Cortes and it may well he that the best portion of the army will, movml by the pathetic position of the Queen Regenh and the baking, which has appealed so powerfully to all the world -mother and royal son, a picture most familiar to them and moss sacred in their religion-remain loyal, and suc- ceed in upholding what has been a trictly constitutional monarchy.

It is said the Americm Commodore ordered the cable to be cut because the Spaniards refused to permit him to use it pending the complete surrender of the city. Although the Krupp guns on the Esplanado of Manila were fired contin- uously during the engagement, Com- modore Dewey did not reply to them, and the battery afterwards hoisted a. white fl ng in token of surrender. The terms of the mspitnlation were still unsettled when the McCulloch left Manila, and it was said Commodore Dewey feared rioting upon the part of the insurgents if he attempted a bom- bardment; of the remaining fortihea- tions of Manila. The forts at the entrance of the bay were dismantled on Wednesday, after they had capitulated. The Losses. The Reina Castilla lost her czptein, a lieutenant, her chaplain and a mid. ehiptnan, by one shot, which struck her bridge. About 100 men were killed ard about 60 wounded on board the Castilla, Indeed, some estimates place the number cf Spanish wounded during the engagement ab over 1,000 men. 2 _The Olympia was struck five times about her upper works, and a whale- boat of the Raleigh was smashed.

Not a man on board the American fleet was killed, not a ship was damaged to any extent, and only six men were injured slightly on board the Balti- more, The American commander had meet skilfully arranged every detail of the action and apparently even the most insigr1ifiesust features were carried out with perfect punctuality and railroad time-table order. At the end of the action Commodore Dewey anchored his fleet in the by, before Manila, and sent a message to the Governor. General, General Augusti, announcing the inauguration of the blockade, and adding that if a shot was fired agiinst his ships he would destroy every battery about Manila. _ A Wonderful Naval Achievement. The position occupied by the Span- ish, the support which their ships received from the land batteries and t re big guns they had ashore gave them an enormous advantage. Therefore, when it is considered that the Spaniards lost over 600 men in killed and Very little of importance has tramy pired during the past] week in the HispanoAmerican war, The Spanish fleet has left the Cape Verde Islands, and is reported to have arrived home at de12.

Cayuga, Oat,, May 7,-Wis Stun-i man was to-night declared to be guilt- less of the death of her husband, and was released from custody. The scene in court when the verdict of tho jury was given was an unusual one. After a three hours' session the jury returned a verdict of “not guilty," and a shout such as is rarely heard in a Canadian court ,room rent the air. When the cheers had ceased, His Lordship Chancellor Boyd dismissed the jury, and, then turning to the prisoner, told her to stand up. When she did so and came in fall view of the spectators it was seen that she was smiling, while the tears were streaming down her cheeks. Her face had become flashed, and her limbs seemed hardly able to support her. The judge told her that a jury of her countrymen had tried and found her not guilty of the crime charged to her, and the law now had no further claim on her, so she could go at liberty.
