PROGRESS OF MARKDALE. THE REEVE OF ARTEmESIA. In this issue of tb» Stanuabd will b« foniid a commuuicatiou from Dr. ChriMtoc. iu wbicb be " demars most (mpbtttically " against th" position we take in the matter of the bonns by- law. He opens his battery with a deliberate mibtatemcut, Ue states that we accufe bira of " dishimntf/." There is no sacb word in tlio wbolf article, and if the Reeve »» acting as honestly and disinterestedly as be wishes us to believe, be could have pat no such constraction on the lan- guage wc used if be is not, then the old and tiitc saying proves true iu this care, that a " guilty conscience needs no Rccnsir." Again we quote the Doctor â€" " As to your uun^cessjiiy advice toreiuem- Ikt us for evil. " We gave no sucli •d\icc- and wt dffy tlie li ;fevo to prove it. Ho then goes on to say he under- alood that our paper was to bo "neu- tral a.s far as differences between in- dividuals or parties aro concerned." We a.sk the Reeve, in all sincerity, to point to a single sentence of ours â- incc the Standabu made its first ap- pearance, wjereiu wo have deviated from that course. Willi Dr. Christoe as a private iudividnal, wa have no- thing to do but ab Reeve of Artemo- sia wo consider wo have a perfect i right to criticise his conduct, and shall not hesitate to do so wlipnever we find bim, in his oflicial capacity as Rsevo, acting in a manner we consider detri- m Etui t the best interests of the Township he roprestuts.

This year thers has been great activity in all branches of business and in the bailding line in particular. Hill Rros have just completed the erection of a three story double brick store and dwelling with two storey addition to the rear, facing on Toron- to street, one half of which is occupied by (J. W. Rutlc'^-e as a printing of- fice and the other by E.D. Wilcox, as a telegraph office and jewcllry stose. The first half of the main building is occupied by Hill Bros themselves, in which they have just opened ont one of the largest and best assorted stock of general goods in the village. To the rear of the store and over the printing and telgraph offices is the millinery department, a good view of which can be hud from tho store. Tho other half is occupied by Wm. Lucas Co., Bankors. To the rear of the Bank is a large room, which is useil for unpacking gocds Ac. The upper flats are occupied by tho Hill Bros as a dwelling. There is also a magnifficent cellar the whole size ol the maia building, which we believe IS 41x(C ft-et. The brickwork, plast- ering carp'inter work and paintini?, arc all done in first-class style and in- flect great credit on tho contractors. Dr. hprrulo has also erected a fine three story double brick store, one of winch is to be occupied by himself as drug .store. Telegraph and express office, and the other by J. F.

Do.nr Parents, while it is natural and right that you should mourn for the little ones departed, still wo would not have you mourn without hope. We know that all expressions of sym- pathy that we can give will not heal the wouuif) still we desire to offer you our christian sympathy, and to weep with thoso that weep. But tlsrough your tears, dear friends, we would point jou to tho future, and though now your family circle is broken it may be again ranuiled, and that for- ever. Listen, dear parent?*, to the blessed words of Jesus as he unfolds the future to us. "Take heed that ye despise uot one of these little ones for I say unto you, that in Heaven there angels do always behold the face of my Father which IS iu Heaven." "Even SO it is not tho will of your Father, which is in Heaven, that one of these little ones should perish." Matt. xviii.lO-U. Therefore, He said, "sufFer Uttle sullieient number of bona jUe voters j c|"lil«" " coujj unto me and forbid .to entitle it to receive ut the bands of the Council, when be knows that, with few exceptions, they are •luahfied voters and even after striking off the non-voters, more than double the number required t y law Would still remain on the petition. â€" Wo would bring this little sentence to die notice of the Reeve, " supprtiaio Tiri, sugQtxtio talti." As tc to the petition being sprung upon the Council, tbat is utter bosh. Docs the Reeve think that any man Yitb the least particle of common sense believes that a. petion, to obtain the signatures of 150 persons, could be circulated in such a private manner tbat only those interested knew any- thing about it Has not tlie matter been discussed in the colums of tiiis pa(ei' for weeks past, and has uot our worthy Reeve been the most promi- uent man engaged iu in it. The excuse that he did not wish to drag the voters unnecessarily to the polls, is childish in the extreme. The by-law will have to be submitted sootiuer or later, and when some of the moat lutlucutial and wealthy men iu tha Township, and probably the heaviest tax- payers, petitioned to have the by- law ttubmitted forthwith, com- mon courtesy, at hast, would suggest tiiat it be done. If the Reeve were so confident of Bacccs.i, and has those 600 voters (or there abouts, and of whom he is so soUcitons that he does uot wish to drag them "anneeessarily to the p \U," at bis back, why is he ait.ui ti stibuii; the by-law at once uuU iiuvo the uiiitter finally settled. â€" Bat he is not so sangoine as he would consideration """ °"' ^?' °^ ""'^^^ " ^^° Kingdom oi Heaven. Like David of old, though your little ones will not return unto you, still you can go to them, for does not this same Jesus sny, "who.soever will, may come," and that he is 'the resur- rection and the life,' and "that whoso- ever believeth in him shall not perish, but have ever lasting life." Therefore dear parents look u» to that brighter morn, and be reoily to meet them again in the Glory Land.

Mr. John Bagan, in the employ of Thomas Hanbery for about two years, was leaving for a job down about St. Catherines, and left on Monday, 25th ult and by some means got run over by a train in Toronto the same night. It was feared at first that his leg would have to come off, but a« far OS known it is not off yet, and is re- ported to be doing well. Cause too heavy a load of the extract of com. That rink of Hanbery 's has uot grown another post j'et. Mrs. Carter disposed of her boose- hold effects on the 80th alt. by auc- tion, and will leave shortly to join her husband in Bostoq, where he has beau lor some months. The Drug Store will still be carried on by a Druggist irom Blytb. The bailding for tha JkiU««]w«t completed. .-./,..,.«.,•... .j-i*-. To tha Editor of the Standa*!). Dbar Sib, â€" The ratepayers of Ar- temesia should bear in mind that the grant of $300,000 from the interested 5luuicipa]ities is one condition of the agreement between iiie T„ Q. and B. and the Grand Trunk Railway Com- panies, and that sum has been as equah'y distributed between tho sever- al Municipalities as possible. If Ar- temesia should fail to do her share, is it likely that'other mtnicipalities much less interested will do theirs? If all fail the bargain fa'ls through, and we lose the connection with the Grand Trunk. But some will say, " There is no fear The Grand Trunk will got the road at any rate, and widen ihc gauge, too, and that without any aid from tho Municipalities." I am sorry that I cannot share in the strong faith of those who talk thus. To my mind there is a very great fear. I tliink that by refusing tho bonus we run the risk of losing that connec- tion, which all admit would prove so beneficial to us I think that those who talk in this w?y have not given the matter that attention which the importance of the subject demands. ^|\V'hen we consider that throughout this whole Dominion there is not per- haps a single railway tbat has not been aided, either by the Government or the interested Municipalities, what right have wc to expect to be more I highly favored tliaa other localitieo 7 |l take the ground, however, that if our giving a bonus would secure the changeofguae a few years earlier than it otherwise rould come, it would pay the Townsh .^ to ijivc the Bonus. But, sir, even though the chango of guogo bo effected without oar aid, I hold still that it would have been our wisest course to aid the enterprise for the^ following reasons â€" It is much better for any Municipality to be on friendly terms with the Railway ']».rapany by whom it is served â€" they have mutual iuteiests at stak â€" favors or tho ri ve'se can be given or received, y^t would be a very easy matter ^»r the Railway Companv to discriminato agaiist our Township so that our peo- ple would have to pay the bonus ten times over in the course of tho next twenty years, and in all probability this may be done and wo cannot help ourselves. Artomosia is the most de- pendent Township on the Railway of any in the County. We have nowhere else to go our intertsts either for weal or woe are bound up with the Railway. Wo cannot change our geo- graphical position, but we can, by our folly and stupidity, convert a friendly corporation into a powerful antagon- ist. I know that many are opiiosed to the pi incipal of giving bonuses at all. These people would prefer to remain without any railway accommodation, rather than pay anything to secure it. Happily, however for the good of the country such false economists are largely in tho minority. The giving or withholding of bonuses is entirely a business transaction â€" people give their money because they expect to get some thing in return. To talk of " charity " in reference thereto is so ridiculous and absurd, that I wonder any sensible man would resort there- to. 1 am aware that the economy cry is very popular, and it is obvious that some are ready to stifle their con- victions to pander to this delusion for the sake of popularity. To such I would say, beware This " penrfy- wiso and pound foolish" policy has often proved ruinous it may be so in our case. Now, Mr. Editor, at the risk of being considered personal, I cannot refrain from remarkini;, that if the Doctor feels bis position so very secure, why does he deem it necessa- ry to remind the people ef this in- tensely Conservative Township, that he is no friend of the Mowat Govern- ment? If the Dootor is BO sure that be has the " people at bis back," why did he not submit the By Law and allow the ratepayers an opportunity of approving or rejecting it as they might see fit Does the Doctor think that in the eyes of the people of Ar- temesia his being ' no friend of the Mowat Government," will cover a multitude of sins or does he think his being " no friend of the Mowat Government," is a good and valid ar- gument asainst the bonus 7 Yon know, sir, tbat some people's bump of self-esteem is so very large, they im- agine their opinions should not be questioned their pride is wounded if you presame to differ with them they almost regard yoa as a personal ene- my if yoa do not meekly swallow all they say as the infsUiblo dictum of unerring wisdom. I am not by any maaas one ef the heaviest ratepayers in tbo Township, ceither am I among the Isweet; biit it is not apon tais soon that I presame to speak. I am siaply a eitizea of this by no means nnimportaat Moni- cipah^, and as saeh, wliother I pay tros ferior Exploded be the doctrine 1 1 •' ThaMoa u batth* sniaea sUMip, ABMa-saMBtea,Uiat ' It is true that I supported the $«»;• 000 By-Law'last summer I do not regret having done so.

Now, Mr. Mditor, I am done. I will not condescend to bandy words with any one I have no time, maeh less have I any iucliaation for sooh work. Personally, I have nothing against Dr. Christoe, I think he is an excellent Reeve but I am no less of opinion that the course he is pursiing in reference to the railway bonus Li inimical to the best interests of the Township.

Bia, â€" I was astonished iu reading your editorial, re-council. I demur against your position most imphati- oally. First, as to iwuilt tj so many of my warmest friends. Nothing of the kind was intended, supposing they were all bona-fiie voters and had a right to be there, which is not the case by far. Second, as to your unnecessary advice to remember us fNr evil. I tliink it most unfortunate, such excites retaliation. Third, as to my dishunnti/, I do not intend to discuss the question with you. I understood your paper was neutral, so far as dif- ferences between iniicidualt or parties were concernied. If uot, it virtually cuts of discussion, for I oould not for a moment undertake to fight «n Edit)r through his own paper. I was acting for five hundred voters (about; who don't wish to be dragged unnecessarily to the polls aid who are deprived of petitioning the council. Now Sir, as to my interpretation of the clause involving my di$hoiie$tif, I am not changed in my opinion, wnte me down iytiorant if you please, for I like it much better than the worl duAon«(. Five weeks ago the solicitor lead us to understand, that because Artemesia had given so decided a vote against a DonuM he wonld not ask us to submit a by-law, until tho popularity of the scheme were tested iu other muuici- palities he said, it would look too much like foreinij her. The petitions were sprung upou us last Monday, and excited opposition accordingly. We were blameless. The subsection of tho act reads, "aud the council shall, within six weeks after the re- ceipt of such petition by the clerk of municipality introduce a by-law to the effect petitioned for, and submit the same for approval of tin qualified voters." Wc in our symplicity ught that two things the council od to do, first introduce the by-law, second submit it, that is, fill it in, arrange for tlie day of polling, appoint officers and polling places iu a word submit it, and we thought and continue to think, if done in six weeks, it is within tho meaning of tiie act. Now, sir, we inay be wrong in the interpre- tation, we really do iiot desire to break the law, but you can do no good by talking mandamus, your canse would suffer three fold by coercion, aud then sir, it dosn'^frighten as I have written as mildly as possible under the circuiustances of so aggravated a charge, and I sincerely trust the breach wdl become no wider.

HCMBLV SnSWKTH ' Th the Editor of the Stamoa»d. Sib,â€" The P. S. of Dr. Chriatoe'a lottar in your issue of la.st week, ia an involantarr ad- mission ot the correctness of my conclusions. I expressly avoided charging him with fishinfr for popularity, although posse ised of reasons for doing so but he docs uot heaitate to charge ma without any raaaoa whatever. â€" Tha charge, however falls to the ground in view of his own expressed behef.that a majo- rity of the ratepapers are again t any further bonus. The erporure of the fact that I am a grain buyer is superfluous, seeing that it was a well known fact previously. The further ezpoiure as to my aasessment waa equally onnecassary, considering that most of tho ratepayers know pretty Well that my means consist chiefly of cash or produce and uot of real estate in Artemesia, and I may be allow- ed to say, that what means 1 hare are there- by much mora usefully employed for the Township than if held in t||e shape of assai- pable property. When exposing thia well know secret, however, why didu't the Doetor expaee the secrets in couneetion with his own asaeanment.
