THE CHIMING CLOCK.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —“ In discussing matters of local importance ” I think it would be better if no one signed his name. This would avoid, to some extent, the ill-feeling that too often arises in small communities. I do not think a person should be called upon to do so; a nom-de-plume is intended to afford the same protection as the ballot-box (one of the best things ever introduced). If my remarks were taken as personal, such was nob intended. The Progressive Party was pub in power, not as Mr O’Toole asserts (through previous extravagance), so much as through want of progress. In reply to Question 8, the benefits are obvious enough to any truly progressive mind. I might ask Cr O’Toole to name the good the many statues and other monuments that adorn the many cities that have become so prominent do. Of course, without them they would scarce be visited. Such argument, further, should be unnecessary. Thanking you if you can give this space.—l am, etc., A Guinea.
