Civic the Board of Trado have issued invitations to a Large number of representative citizens to a convention to be held at an Early for the nomination of fit and proper persons to constitute next year s pity Council. The move is both Wise and opportune. The Board of Trade being a business body pure and simple having no ulterior interests to serve or objects to promote it goes without the saying that in this movement they have an Eye single to the City s welfare. We Are enabled to say that while the Board have taken in hand something that was Gener ally recognized As everybody s business and therefore they have Only done so in 10 for As providing the machinery is concerned for bringing about a much desired end that is the Nomina Tion of a set of City Council candidates that will be generally acceptable. In other words the Board Trade have no names to put Forward they have arranged for a Large i assemblage of representative citizens who shall themselves do All the selecting the Board simply devising the modes at this juncture in our City s history there need be no doubt but that any considerable gathering of responsible citizens May be safely relied upon to Down every other consideration personal political or aught else and decide upon men to con duct the business of the City that will Endeavor to do so honestly economically and altogether Well. Meantime we would strongly dissuade All electors from committing themselves to any line of action by pledging their votes or otherwise that in View of the movement on foot for a grand reformation in City affairs they might soon regret. Trade certainly Nono adequate to the regular shipment of the crops of the that a Ai isum ing Tho existence of exceptional seasons of which it has not the slightest proof the mail concludes that the route is not practicable. If no fault can be found with Tho Assumption nothing need be said against the correctness of Tho conclusion. The says the oracular Organ of Tho government which apparently sent out the Neptune to prove what she a now being made to prove looks Well on the map but nature appears to have Sot her face against it and Man is the mail will find itself quite As powerless As Man in attempt ing to set its face against Tho decree of nature that the Hudson s Bay shall fur Nish an outlet for the product of the Northwest. Like the proverbial Young lady s letter however the pith of the mail s article is in the postscript. The concluding Para graph is As there ii no Mason however Why we should not develop the vast natural wealth of this Region. Its fisheries Are of incalculable value and according to All accounts Coal Iron and Load not to speak of Marble Ami Mica exist in Abund Ance. Railroad communication Between Toronto and Moose factory on James Bay would without doubt open up As Fine a 6eld for Tho investment of capital and Enterprise As is to to found on the continent. This a comforting to Tho Northwest. It is a fresh manifestation of that warm Devotion to our interests which distinguishes our Eastern Brethren More particularly our Eastern tory Brethren. We Don t want a Hudson s Bay rail Way i what could we do with another Road any Way Haven t we already a railway built for us by tha of our own pub Lic lands of course but none the Leas built for us by the lets us into what More could we desire than this list to show their practically limitless generosity our Eastern friends Are willing to build us another Road from Toronto to Moose factory and allow us to participate in the resulting National this is almost As generous As the system of taxation known As the National which takes away the Money of our Farmers and Fosters the Ontario manufacturers charging us Noth ing for our Sharo of the general Prosper Ity which so conspicuously results there from. Yes if to can Only get this railway from Toronto to Moo a factory built the future of the Northwest is assured. Non reciprocal who still clings to what Tho Canadian american accurately describes As the old policy which ban built up monopolies brought 1 on an Over production of manufactured goods and put the labor Market into such a state that thousands of mechanics in every Large City find it utterly impossible to get our contemporary May Well conclude that both these papers Are inconsistent. They Are even party exigencies Are demanding too much when they ask free Trade journals to sup port a party of says Tho Canadian american the government organs in Canada estimate that every immigrant is Worth thou Sand dollars. If Tho authorities will Send us one Hundred thousand dollars Well engage to Send two Hundred of the exiled canadians Back and guarantee a Good selection. This is putting them in at five Hundred a piece but we Are willing to sacrifice a Little to place the Enterprise on a business dry goods. Alexander s one Price Cash House in English Magazine publishes an article from Tho pen of lady Catherine Gaskell in which her Ladyship proposes As a cure for the ills of agricultural eng land that Farmers their wives and daughters should cease to be educated should avoid pianos and Fine clothing Rise before Daylight and spend their Day in out or in door employment. This Noble lady evidently has a keen perception of the eternal fitness of things. If farm ers their wives and daughters cannot be brought to see that they Are flying in the face of nature in presuming to set before them any other object Tolian the payment of rents for the maintenance of the cultured class of which this lady Catherine Gaskell is such a shining ornament the country must go to the dogs. Lady Catherine should write some More on Usu subject of agricultural Dis Tress.

Avi mox a Hay. Tho people of the Northwest have not been looking for manifestations of extreme enthusiasm in the East with re Gard to the Hudson s Bay route consequently they will not be eur prison to learn that the report of the Neptune expedition has raised grave doubts in the ruins of the Globe As to the practicability of navigating the Bay and Strait while what amounts to absolute conviction of its impracticability has been carried to the mind of the Moil. Both papers have freely set out their conclusions and to show their Correct Ness have with Tho accuracy of ice dealer piled up before their readers every fragment of ice and each Flake of Snow on flu cd they Are founded. Both have wisely decided that the question of navigability must be determined by the records not of the most favourable or the but of the most severe lost Winter was in average season. Usually severe and an exceptionally 3arge Quantity of ice was formed which was later than usual in floating into the Strait hence Tho Neptune encountered or saw a Good Deal of ice Al though she experienced Little or no difficulty from it and Mode a most successful those Wise and disinterested Friend of the Northwest sagely decide from this that the Hudson s Bay route must be Given up. That is the mail so concludes while the Globe has very Little Hope of anything More cheering. Tho mail sets out with the declaration that it would be absurd of course to condemn the Hudson s Bay route Asim upon Tho strength of one reason s of a ports of Tho condition of the find then proceeds to be a it says unfortunately the of Tho Neptune this sum Mer corroborates to the fullest that of the Hudson s Bay company which is that taking one season with another the navigation of Tho Strait a always difficult and sometimes it is always difficult and frequently impossible to corroborate experience which has not Boon caper fenced by testimony which cannot be brought Forward. This a generally admitted. The experience ;
