This is the season of year w.icu road making and road mending ure put sued with vigoi or languor, as the case may be. It all depends upon waether it is statute labor or contract. This being the case, we have iltciiU-d to follow up our remarks of two weeks ago by a few more observations upon the itib- ject. We have yet to meet the man who is satisikd with our prepenl system. Then if thin dissatisfaction exists, why has not souir change been made ? We assert emphatically that if a change is ever to be made the people will have to make it. Thry jitcd net depend u^on the Council to do it. There is au instance- in this township when; a IURII served the for Hevciiteen years, and who thoroughly understood the iniquity of t!ie system, ;i!id worked it to li.s own advantage, nerer making thu slightest attempt to have it improvt-d, yet no soon as he has n. tired from tht) licit] shouts with Hteiiiormn voice that he 1ms "always believed the system ol ex;>oudit:irc laii-Iit ba improved," an:l that "'.luudrcilfl of dollars are frittered uway." Thai why, in all conscience, did ho nut in to improve it when ho had the op'));tnni'.y ;> Simply because the system ;;.ive him power to squander moiiry in order to purchase votes That is n;>eakmj plain, but it is % fact patent to everybody. In it, however, he was no better or woise than others Another councillor before deciding to offer himself as a candidate, was en- gaged in circulating u petition to hav< the ward ayitam done away with. lit then decided to oiler himself UH a can didato, and, although he had a larg< number of signers to the jtoUiion, sup jTcsstd it, and instead offi-i'inl Limsol for his ward and was el"cted.

(8) Because other townships in this icinity do not aspire to securing en- iablo roads is no reason why this township should not. It would .surely lot only be au honor, but a profit to ua had wo the name of owning he best highways in the county, 'beio ia not a man but would feel a glowing pride in the fact. On the lla-r baud, outsiders who are obliged o travel our roads heap anathemas ipon them, au instance of which wo mve lately given. We will now leave the matter in he meantime. It is die duty of a newspaper to point out facts as it sees hem, but the people are the supreme aw. It remains with them to right .buses or make innovations where uch arc- found expedient. This rhole natter of road making is a matter of xctcding importance, as it directly fleets our pockets to a large degree, nd should be sluJiud with a view to ibtaiuing substantial roadways which will not riuire a continual drainage o maintain. The "penny wise acd >ouud foolish" maxim can have no more din^erous application than in came t pri-auut themaeUes before the Lord, ml S.itan citinu'alto amonp them," and what tuk place in the days of patient Job lakus plucu duubtleai in th year of grace, 1893, but we hope that all tects nd denominations can join in this "Chriatian EiuleaTor." Somehow I have not much faith m thet convention?. They arc expensive affairs, and all the u.imey must come from the linuwi of the working man. One may say that the rich i,'ive of their abundance, but where i l.i they get their richea ? It must be by labor. There are to be 26,000 delegate* or represent. in ve at thii convention and 1 IM lifve that one way or another $60.00 each at ail average, will be required to pay travelling expenses and board. If BO the question conn-s, is thu the beet use from a Christian standpoint that a million and a quarter of dollar* can be put to } Some of your numeroua reader* may probably furnish an ansirer. C. 0.
