Read the Toronto Globes report Of the

farmers Of the best agricultural county In
Ontario sat up almost until cock-crow dis
cussing the advantages OF political union with
the United States. Such incidents signify
more than the speeches Of statesmen or tho
editorial articles Of party newspapers. It may
be added that Oxford county. where Innerkip
is situated. was long represented in Parlia.

Ontario for twenty years past, and hot oppo-

vented his old constituents from adopting the
remarkable resolutions which were the out

Tho City of Broken Promises.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Boston
Globe. proposes that Chicago shall not be
allowed to reap the benefit Of the false
representations by which she secured the
so-called Worlds Fair:
THE Windy City distinctly agreed with Congress that
IL It could have the Fair and grant Of money in aid
thereof exceeding CO., her own citizens and
Of the State Of Illinois would take Of the rest
TO ask for 81 600 700 more 10 to repudiate her
pledges made in April, 1870.
1T 10 weliunderstood principle Of the law Of con-
tracts that when party refuses to funl his side Of
contract the other party thereby released from his
obligations and the contract 10 broken. This common
law and common principle should be applied by
Congress the Worlds Fair act OF 1880 II Chicago lie
not willing able fulfil part of the bargain. Con-
eress should whole contract broken. and
proceed pass Worlds Fair act giving the great
Exposition = new and more convenient location in
city that 10 capable Of carrying ont the project
successfully and without asking the national Govern
nent to pay all the bills"
This is perfectly true. Chicago has made
a bargain. and she should be held to it's
terms. II she will not raise the money for
the Fair, the Fair should be given to some
city that will. Chicago will come before Con-
gress to beg for $5OOOOO0 next year. and If
that sum is granted to her she will un-
doubtedly renew her application for aid.
She is better at making promises than at
keeping them.
The Government has done It's full duty
to the Fair. Chicago, In its turn, should
be made to keep the engagements into
which 1t entered with the Government.
II it cannot raise the money 1t should give
up the enterprise. 1t will make no effort to
raise any more money as long as there is
any prospect Of begging 1t. There is no
such prospect. unless Congress has lost it's
memory and its good sense.
