There is a good deal of truth in what it says, acid the advice given is sound, lies now pretty generally adtnitted that the last Do- minion election in South Huron was, nraaticallyethrown awayby the Re - fm orers.This we thini k, s borne out by the followiog facts a At the Pro- vincial election, held a few months previously. taking the vote . polled. in the same municipalities as Mewed the Dominion division, the• Reformers by a, united effort,' scored a majority of 114eind that against a much -stronger Conservative candidate and with it much less popular Government to: work for. But in the Dominion elec- tion, with these two important fac- tors in their favor, the Reformers were beaten by 111. We 'think we may say, without fear of seeming dictatorial, that this sort of thing should not occur again. But,:we may also say, that in the natural course of events, the next election. even under the rnoet favorable circumstances will be More difficult to win than the last one. This, however, should serve to nerve Reformers to increased and more determined einott to redeem the riding. South Huron does not look natural iri the Cooservative column.

Sir. Charles Rivers -Wilson gives this story quietus in an interview anQuebee. The scheme as at first conceived was to build a railway in the Northwest and connect it with the Grand Trunk system in the east. "Sir Wilfred Laurier, with his usual sagacity, saw. a much larger enterprise than wohld benefit the whole Dominion of • Canada," said Sir Choles. ' "Ile peopos,ed the larger scheme; auchfrom that moment the Grand Trunk Railway and th.e Dorn - inion Government beennie partners in the larger undertaking. We mean to carry out ouri share of the conteact in an honorable manner. The eastern sMtions of the Grand Trunk Pacific are in the hands of the Government to build and &nab. So far only two sections are under terrier from Winni- peg to bike Superior. The Goverment work frona Winnipeg to Quebec will he the settreity of labor. We are under a heavy lease in regard to the eastern section, therefore the great bulk of the traffic and trade that we will hatidle for the Northwest muse go over the eastern section. ',It is ehildish" Sir Charles added, to bring up the port of Portland in dis- cussing the future Grand Trunk Pacific We are under obligations to carry the trade of the Canadian Northwest through Canadian Poets, and the great Milk will come over the eastern linee and find their terminal exists at Quebec in summer, St. John, N. /1„ 1 mot Hansa in winter, ancle if we clo not 6riiiider the lieaiiiftaawwe are on..• der eve would be only doing ourselves - injury.

First in Michigan on the low land crops of all kinds were late and looked bad. About Gr3,na Rapids was the only place where they would compare at all with the allrOns. went from St.joseple,Mich,to Chicago, by the Pere Marquette IL R. winch runs close by the lake, where there are miles of grape vines and hundreds of acres of vine -yards. I shalt not attempt to describe the Great City farther than to etty that one day in the snaoky, noisy and bust- ling rush of the far famed city was all I wished for. Left it by the 0, M. St. Paul R. It„ did not see much of the country through which this line runs as it eves night when I passed through, • but from SU:nun all the way toMoore- ead,sMitine with a fes' exceptions;the land and erops were its a most wretch - ;cid state -water everywhere with the various kinds of crops trying to show' above tlae water ; implements of all kinds left standing in the fields where they had been in use. The crops look- ed better as I went farther north ; at Park River they were very fine. I have now been through three counties of North Dakota -Grand Forks,Widele and Cavalier - where the crop pros- pect is good ; the ehief danger , to the wheat ts from rtiq ; a considerable amount of red rust is now seen on the ,lower leaves of the plient_._Ineeleyeand _ oets ecanifeeTOOk-better, some barley • . is already harYested.. . • •• . The farming here is what I nail bad, wild oats and roustard being the tnost numerous of noxious weeds ;.we have here about all the Weeds that grow in Ontario, and about all that tip not. Land here is likellumanity ;it requires close watehitur and constant work to keep it all clean. There is so =eh land. to go over that one gets careless, as it matter of course ; a few weeks more or less will make no area differ- ence, so they are allowed toincrease to the farmers' hurt. But, with these drawbacks this is a great country. It is now twenty-seven years since my nrst visit to this coun. try. I then, travelled over many nolea of land where yoo might look until your eyes were Sere WithOUt seeing. a single hut. One may now see first- class farne buildings and no end of ,crops. One's eyes become tired looking over the vast fields. I could give quite a number of 'names well known in South Huron who came to North Da- kota more than twenty years ago with a light puree and are now loaded down with land and cash. Farms of 160 acres sell froni four thousand to seven thou- sand dollars according to conditions as to improvement and eternity, . To give some idea how things are . ruslied•I might state that on the New Soo Lines(bitilt last summer) at a place called 'Adame, where there was not a imusenne year ago, there are now four banks, three large lumber yards, nan(1 all kinds of business places, with lam • elevators' of trom thirty-five to fifty thousand 'bushels caoacity. eLet ine say here that the farmer draevs his gtain to the Elevator in boa Which holds frolle seventy.

G. Sproat, who operates a binder 12 ft in width:which goes.before the hoeses. The yield of wheat per acre will be • large ; In cases the straw is over large and heads rather small Owing to too mach rain. ra6 lighter and higher land will give more bushels and higher grade of wheat. So far I have seen no prospective crop reports of North Da - beta. Swath Dakota reports a large 500,0000(X) bushels advance of all former whefet crops. 1 ant not much iti love with the weather here.

With regard to the people they are the best you woihd wish along Many lines, and let me say here that many of them that I have met are frOrn Ont., with big generous hearts like the coun- try they live in. I have received so many invitations townie and see them if but Air one day that were I to accept all, I vemild be a long them here. What seems strange to me is the number of horses that are kept by the farmers. My son Charles, with whom I' am at present, has fourteen working horses, and he fs enly on 'a comparatively small scale. having only o60 acres, while there are sotne who farrn 4000 acres and keep 100 herses ; some of the borseslio no more than 5 months work in a year. All good farniers stable and feed their working 'horses or, prospea: tive working horses on .grain, as there is not much woric for. horses ,between seeding ancilhareest. ' Large quantifies 'of oats are consumed by the horses during the year; enough to scare any old Huron fanner. ,Some farmers use traction engines to plough.
