MARKDALE MARCH 26 1886 0Â¥R RAILWAY FACILITIES. alsooDsof onr mosi; WEpected l»dy ~-~ C'tizena, and yn are sure we speak the sentiments of the whole community when we wish them and family every success in their new home. Onr County is making steady pro- gress, and developing in public im- provements as well as individual and local enterprise. Any stranger travel- ling thrcagh our country cannot be but favorobly impressed. The churches and public scbools which dot the country throughout, are shure indications of eivil and religious pro- gress, without which no community orxiation can make substantial ad- vancement. We wish especially, however, to notice our railway advantages. Those "who do not trayel, to any great extent from home, (and they are the great "majority) are not fully aware of, neither can they appreciate, our rail- way advautsges. Many would be ready to deubt yeur word, if you should state the fact that the C. P. R. is the longest railway in the world. It is not only the longest, but the beat •quipped; aud for maLagement all the way through, even to the train men, it is noted far and wide for courtesy and gentlemanly conduct, A person on returniug from British Columbia a short time ago, alter an absence of several years, expressei^ Ills astonishment at our railway ad- vantages; ho said he had heard of a narrow guage railway being built hack into Grey County, bat he found the most comfortable coaches, the most obliging train officials and the greatest general comfort on this line, that he had met with all the way from B, C- Another man we met iu Torento a few weeks since on his way to Markdale from Peuetanguishene on the Mortnem Railway, he said he had left that place, 103 nailes from Toronto, and it took eight hours to reach th« city, and he was nearly frozen to death into the bargain; while Le reached Markdale, 10 miles shorter distance, in lour hours less time and had every comfort besides. Those instances are just given to enable those who have not th« de- lightful experience of travelling on those inferior roads, to appreciate our own line, the C. P. R. parlimentary. The great portion ot the past two weeks has been taken up in the Riel question. The members of the big debating society had a grand opportunity to air their eloquence, and good debating has been done on both aides of the house. A division is likely to take place en this important question to-day, when the- Government will doabtlesa be sustained. UNSEATED. Mr. Howland, who was elected Mayor of Toronto Last January with H tremendous majority over Mr. Man- ning, the ^largest property holder in the city, has been unseated, nut hav- ing the necessary property qualifica- tion.

To the Editor of the Sxandabi Dkab Sib, â€" Before leaving Markdale I wish to return thanks to the people of the village and surrounding district for their liberal patronage during the four years I did business in Markdale. I very much regret leaving your prosperous town, and sociable kind-hearted people, and would not have thought of doing so, had I not had the misfortune of getting burned out. In my absence however, I shall never forget the many kindnesses which we have received as a family from all classes, and e3pecially during my wifes recent illness.

J^rom a Correspondent. There was a meeting here last week to have a talk on our polities, quite a number turned out. William Stuart was appointed chairman. He said the meeting was: called to discuss the political situation and to see if we could devise some means to put a stop to the waste of the people's money and the resources of this country. Our fathers left us as good a form of Government as any on the faee of this earth for an enlightened people, but altogether un suited for half civilized nations. We have as much liberty and power as we geoerally make good use of by our votes, we can drive any Government from power and every man has a vote that is worthy ot it. Now gentlemen let us see if the pre- sent system of conducting our busi- ness 18 satisfactory. In 1877 our Dominion debt was seventy-five mil- lion,, xn 1886. it is two-hundred and nine millions beside; we iiad some fine lt»nd and timber, we have not much of that now; What has become of it? given away to companies, fxieuds, supporters, kc. Mr. Hammond was the. next speaker. He confined himself mostly to- provincial extravagance. He de- nounced expenditure on the Lieuten- ant Governor's residence.: Mr. T. Carruthers gave, the expen- ses on Governor General and Ridau Hall, amouiitiug to over two milhon dollars in the last sixteen years. The sallery grants was. discussed and condemned in severe terms. The following resolutions were past: Resolved that this meeting pledges itself not ta be influenced by partisan consideration m choosing our futurere- presentativ.e to Patiiament, but that the wishes of tne people shall be the guide to our representative. That the meeting protests against the expenditure of Ontario Lieutenant Govetuor'a house, and favor the com- plete abolishing of same, and further expenditure incurred by paying Depu- ties in the different departments out of the public funds. That this meeting is "in favor of tlie abolishing ot.the Dominion Senate as it is a. useless and cxpetsive body. â€" n » • Hollap^ Centre. (From our correspondmt.) Mr. H.
