The Bathgate Sentinel editor de.
clares that the PIONEER EXPIRES
wants a newspaper controversy, and
he just won't crafty it by taking any
part in one-on county printing. He
thought this was q free country lie
had got to where an editor might
swear to anything he pleases, none.
daring to modest him; declares lie
would have saved the county big money
OH publication of tax list, (but does
not quote District Attorney Balls de.
cision against him on this point;)
shows that R. II. Young was defeated
last fall, thus causing the latter to feel
down iii the mouth; finally accuses r.
H. Young of being ga man who has
proven himself the kind the people of
this county know him to be"-as Mrs.
Darlington would say. Thus does the
Sentinel editor declaim and perspire-
all the time keeping safe distance
from the subject that he didn't want
to discuss. He will not any more re.
fer to the editor of the PIONEER Ex.
PRESS, but will fill up his paper with
reading of q nature more profitable
to the Sentinel, ETC., etc.

We make an exception to our gen.

We make an exception to our gen.
eral rule Of requiring correspondents
to sign their names for publication
when their communications contain
personal attacks, and allow "Clericus''
to he heard. especially as his commu.
nication will help to arouse more in.
terest in the question of county divis.
ion. But let it be understood that our
rule is not abolished. We agree with
"Clericus that men in public positions
should be held responsible to the
public. We would go farther and say,
that all men who enter the public
arena, wether as officials OF critics,
should be held responsible SO far as
their actions or words have a public
bearing. But no one can be so held
responsible who is unknown to the
public. We invite communications
on all public questions and do not care
whether the real name of the writer
is given for publication or not-except
when personal attacks are made. Re.
ferring to another point, the PIONEER
EXPRESS will not stay away from
politics very far when there is some
thing to he done. but after a long siege
we think the editor might be allowed
short vacation.

The present status of the Riel rebel
lion seems to he about this: The Can.
adam government is getting troops
and supplies so rapidly towards the
scene of the trouble that there is now
little danger of the rebels extending
their operations. There is no general
uprising among the Indians yet report.
ed. There is no likelihood of an open
encounter between Riel's forces and
the government troops. 1t may cost
the government good deal to chase
squads of half breeds and Indian mar.
anders from one place to another over
the northwest plains. The failure of
Riel's project, however, must soon be
apparent to the half breeds themselves
and total Collapse of the rebellion
may be looked for ut any time.

There does not seem to be a great
deal of interest awakened in the sub.
ject of county division. So fas as we
can learn those within the pro.
posed limits of the new county of
Cavileer favor the division. The feel.
ing in the remaining portion Of this
county is divided though we Judge
there is majority in favor of settling
this question now and getting our

Communication.

Editor PIONEER EXPIRES:
Sir:-In your last issue you say that
you are going to get out of politics as soon
as possible, by which we suppose your
readers are to understand that you con-
slider they are satisfied with what they
have been treated to, and may not relish
such an unsavory sort of intellectual pab-
ulum for the future, for some time at
least. Well, on that point many of your
readers are not satisfied, nor can they be
satisfied with such an insight into the
doings of their rulers as they are given.
To say that they should, would be to
assume that they are unable to Judge Of
what their public servants should do
as compared with what they have done
and are doing. The taxpayers of this
county, as well as of the county generally
have right to receive justice and faith
full service from those whom they elect
as their representatives. Gentlemen who
aspire for positions of public trust should
be held to account for their public acts,
and it shonld be the privilege of the
public to scrutlnlze their doings and if
wrong, expose them. We do not ask you
az journalist to set yourself in opposition
to the powers that be, unless their acts
are SO glaringly wrong that it becomes
your duty as guardian of public inter-
ests to do SO. but there are many cases in
which it becomes the duty of a journalist
to let the people speak through the col
umns of his journal. and deal with the
public acts oftbeirrulers. Now, sir, such
a time has arisen in our county. We are
a patient and long suffering people, but
not altogether oblivious to what is being
done by our public servants (?) Guar
dams of our interests! We have sys-
TEN of 80 called government by our rep
resentatives, but it falls far short of deserv-
ing the name. Take for instance our
home rulers, the county commissioners;
their duties reimportant but not arduous,
nor does it require extraordinary ability,
or qualifications 10 fill the position, but it
does require fair share ofcommon sense
and integrity of character to fill the rosit-
ion Alright. Designing, knavish tricksters
are not the men to select, nor are men
who are incapable of understanding the
laws as applicable to their duties. We
learn that under our present efficiently
board we have county solicitor receiv-
ing 81 800 per annum for his services.
Would it not under such circumstances
be better to discharge the commissioners
and let the solicitor do the whole bust
ness even If we have to supplement his
salary to some extent? The question is
worthy of consideration. Again, we are
to vote ON the question of dividing the
county on the 10th Of May, aud you ven
true to predict from what you hear that
will carry this time. We can
only account for such a conclusion on
your part by supposing that because Jud
I.aAtoure and his henchmen proved in.
in the late contest the public
will like whipped spaniels lie PROSTATE
and unite and let them cut and carve
he public domain to suit their purpose.
Are your readers made of such plant
materials that they can he thus whipped
INTO subsection and made to lick the hands
