The way the Liberal Ministers in Quebec are apologiziog for Sir Wil - Said sending a coutingunt to Africa is enough to rouse the ludignation of any truly loyal subject of the Queen, says the Stratford Herald. Why, in Heaven's name, should it be necess- ary for the premier' and his party ora- tors to ask pardon for sending the con- ting,ent, if they are as loyal as they pretend, asks the 'Toronto Sentinel and Orange Advocate, In one breath they declare the fact of ther French 'birth with all, possible fervor, and they clinch it by a fervid reference to their faith. Then they draw a long breath, tell the audience they are loy- al to the Queen, and begin a lengthy and humiliating apology for the Go- vernments action in sending men to Africa. It is enough to make a Briton sick to witness such actions. Take the fol- lowing sample of a French Canadian , speech by by Hon. Mr. Bernier, Minis- ter of Inland Revenue, Read it care- fully-, and say whether it does not in- dicate a pusillanimous spirit, contemp- tible to any true patriot: " We are itemised of being Imperial- ists because we .simply allowed men to enroll themselves to go to Africa. At the time of the war of secession many of our young men fought in the Ameri- can army. Could the government of the day be charged withAmericanism ? When young Canadians 'enrolled for Cuba or the Phillipines, could the Government be accused of Phillippin- ism ? " I affirm positively that the Govern- ment simply allowed these young men, whether they were English, Irish, or Scotch, who wanted to go, to enroll themselves. It is true the government paid their expenses, and they had a good right to do so. Is there a man in this audience who will say that we did wrong to pay their expenses? Not one. Many of you have seen your sons, the hopes of your homes, leave you to go to the United States. You did not like to see them go forth with- out a dollar in their pockets. The Government could not do less for the sons of the country who thus went forth to Africa. I was a mem- ber of the House, and appoved of the sending of the first and second contin- ents or at least of allowing these young men to. But some asked, Will this thing continue? I will reply. "Suffi- cient to the day is the evil thereof." After this exhibition the Minister explained that the Premier "permit - the volunteers to go" in order to save his office. And vet in this ' Province an attempt is made to give Sir Wil- frid Laurier credit for having sent the contingents to Africa. A DAMAGING EFFECT. The damaging charges made against Sir Wilfrid Laurier by H. H. Cook has struck a blow which will doubtless have a telling effect at the polls on November 7. That these charges ate true there is not the slightest doubt, from the fact that not one of the party have ever dared deny them, either through the press or on the hustings. But, what to our mind will have a still more damaging effect is John Charl- ton's manifesto which has produaed decided uneasiness in the Liberal ranks more especially following as it does, closely on the heels of Mr. Cook's dis- closures. In Government circles it was known that Mr. Charlton intend- ed to write such a naanifesto, but he was told if he did and publish it before the convention, hp would not get the nomination for the county of North Norfolk. The machine endeavoured to stifle Mr. Charlton's criticism in the same way as in 1891 it stifled Hon. Edward Blake's letter. But it was not so successful. Mr. Charlton has set men thinking in good time to have full effect on their actions when it comes to "polling day. When such men as John Charlton comes out and ex- presses himself as he does it means something and the Liberal party feel an uneasiness, not so much perhaps as to what Mr. Charlton has actually ex- pressed as to what he ioaplies and pos- sibly might have said, had it not been for the efforts of the machine to pre- vent his publishing his criticism until it was too late to be read, marked, learned and inwardly digested. The Ottawa Citizen, editorially speak- ing of the probably effect of Mr. Chart. ton's letter, says:— "Mr. John Charlton's address to the electors of North Norfolk is more start- ling than Mr. H. H. Cook's manifesto and more damaging to the Liberal par- ty, as Mr. Charlton's status in the councils of Liberalism is higher, and his influence upon the religious thought of the Canadian people is greater. The Liberal party has ever regarded the name of the member for, North Nor- folk like that of Sir Oliver Mowat, one to conjure with when seeking to influ- ence the great body of religious think- ers, and the men of strong ineral Con- victions. A prominent member of the General Assembly Of the Presbyterian claureh in Canada, and the recognized champion of the Christian rest day, ancl of legislation to raise the age of' consent, Mr. Charlton's eriticiem of his own party wilnnot fail to exert a marked i n fl two ch Upon Presbyterians throughout Canada, and only hi itless degree members of all branches of the Christian church, °For these tWO reasons a word of eriticisen af his party by Mr. Charlton will •Yorb t an a Cie Me ghee' effect p- it.o`OSSrsthtn',4Se'ittOlgo 'sure from Mr..4i.

Frain's stgble, that does not predieate that the effect of the former will be less than that of the hitter. Indeed the eontrary is likely te be the case, But following upon Mr. Cook's terrific arraignment, Mr. Charlton, in the role of the candid friend,' cannot, fail to excite a wide- spread distrost among the class that has ineluded Sir Wilfrid's staunch sup- porters ip the Province of Ontario." And, again, Mr. Charlton, following Cook, has served to produce an open mind among Liberals, who have been chloroformed by a "re -organized" Prose? and they will BOW be disposed to heto the case against the Govern- ment and give a verdict according to the facts. THE ELECTIONS. The election day being set for Nov. 7th both political parties are putting candidates into the field with as little delay as possible. The hurried disso- lution of the House has in more than one instance resulted in candidates, more or less weak, being chosen some- times on one side and sometimes on the other. In consequence,. results .not laid down in the forecasts, may appear when the polls are closed. Sea- gram, of Waterloo, Conservative, Will evidently go in by- acclamation; al- though his election in any case is as- sured. The number of old time Liber- als, who have left the party, is one of the most marked features of this cam- paign. In addition to H. I -I. Cook, who asks all true Reformer'S to devote their best efforts towards defeating Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Mr. John Charlton, of North Norfolk, publishes an address which the Conservatives could well adopt as a cat-Iva/Igor pamphlet.. He says that once all Liberals thought re- ciprocity with the United States Was a thing easily attained. Sir John Macdonald and his successors said it was impossible if we would retain a vestige of national dignity. Mr. Charl- ton, after being a commissioner, now says Sir John was right. A compli- ment to the old Statesman from an unexpected quarter. Mr. Charlton -in accepting the'Liberal nomination ;did SCI in such a way that he should be counted upon in nine cases out of ten to supportthe Conservative opposition or Government as it may be after No- yember 7th. He also may have no Opposition to his return. In North Bruce Dr. Bonnar, formerly Liberal candidate for several elections, is now giving his full support to Mr. McNeil, the well-known orator of the Imperial Federation league. In South Grey Dr. Landerkin seems to have lost his old time vigor and is fighting listlessly a battle that is becoming hopeless. And so it goes all over Ontario, the life and tire appear gone from men who once enjoyed an election fight as they could enjoy nothing else. One thing appears to us As a feature of the con- test and that is the vote in Ontario will decide the issue. In the West the Liberals are gone. In the East they may hold their own better than the West, but the influence of Sir Charles Tupper and Mr. Foster must tell heav- ily. Messrs. Blair and Fielding are not the men to meet such veteran campaigners as the Conservatives send from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, The Conservative weakness in leaders from Ontario is very marked while the government has Sir Richard. Cart- wright in the East, Hon. Wm. Mu - lock in the centre and Hon. D. Mills in the West. The two latter caniclates have administered their departments well and if they prove as good Party leaders Sir Wilfridarray have much to thank them for when the contest is over. Quebec seems to be going large- ly with Tarte, but the respectable French Canadian may make his influ- ence felt and give us another surprise on the night of November 7th. Mean- time the issues are getting clearer and the Conservatives may be able to get the ear of the people for their power- ful appeal in time to tell a tale of vic- tory equal to that of September 1878. NOTES AND COMMENTS There are three candidates in the field at London to contest the coming election, Mayor Thos. Beattie, Con- servative; ;Chas. S. Hyman, Liberal, and Robt.,Roodhouse, Socialist. *** Speaking of the action of the Gov- ernment in regard to the two -dollars - a -pound dog buscuits sent to the sol- diers in South Africa, the Chatham Planet asks:—"Are they not morally guilty of manslaughter?" Maybe they are, but then, you see, you cannot send a Government as such to the penitentiary. In a constitutionally - governed country, the only way to punish a guilty government is to vote it out of office. The discovery of a new chemical compound has just been announced, and if the sanguine statements of its discOverers prove to be true it will revolutionize the electrical world. The new compound, which is made of the cheapest kind of chemical; is to be put up in capsule form, and when ad- ded to a certain quantity of water will furnish enough electricity to furnish a house, drive an automobile or a railway train,. The capsules will be made so as to contain frqm three grains to one and one-half ounces of the compound.

There have been .some very marked advances this week in bacon, lard and pork, The stock of pork are now about exhaust- ed twtl it is clear that importations will have to be made before long, since it is at present impossible to buy heavy hogs at a price that would en- able packers to make a fair profit at current market values. As the duty on pork is considerable, and the freight from the west is high, the price here for the hoported goods would show a big advance en prices of recent sale of the Canadian product. There was another in the price of live hogs this week. Owing to the high price of but- ter the demand for lard has been very active. 'Weather Forecasts. . : The appended forecasts published in Word'ancl Works, for the ..month of November, is by the Rev. 1. R, Hicks, the St. Louis weather prophet, who told of the storm and gall hurricanes Of which Galveston and other planes in the States suffered so severely a few weeks ago. His forecastshave beeo Marked with a:great :deal Of ac- curacy. Fellow it and observe the re- sult. The storm diagram for thismonth shows that a regular etorni periodis central on the 4th, the -central day also of a. Mercury period. The regality storm period embraces the 2nd to. the Oth, within which period the Moon is On the celestial equator on the 2n1, perigee on the 4th and full On the 6th. These perturbing positions of the Moon blended' with the combined disturbanc- es of Vulcan and Mercury,are very apt to bring on decided autumnal storms during the first week in November. A change to much warmer will set in westward about the 2nd, failing baro- meter will follow in the same section, cloudiness will rapidly en sue, ands toms of rain, wind and probable thunder southward, will result during the 3rd to the Oth. On the western and north- ern sides of these storms except the rain to turn to heavy sleet and snow. Sleet will be a marked feature over vast sections—a fact to be noted by all who manage the wires and similar interests. Blizzards north and west, endiog in fierce gales over the lakes and on the North Atlantic, are quite probable about Sunday the 4th to Wednesday the 7th. A general ' cold wave, frost and freezing will bring up the rear of these storms, progressively from the northwest to eastwest and sarith'West. Many of the worst storms carom; win- ter months occur at the Mercury Ire,r- iods when they blend with the regular storm periods, especially the storms that sweep at northwesterly tangent's down over Canada, along the hrke reg- ions and the north Atlantic. We cau- tion navigators, shippers and all con- cerned in those regions against prob- able danger during this first November period, and against the severe cold that will follow in their wake. On and touching the 10th, llth and 12th the barometer will fall,and gener- al reaction to storm conditions will re- turn. The perturbations attending this reactionary period will be followed by a rapid but short lived rise of the baro- meter and spurt of cold. By -the 15th a decided change to warmer will have developed in the west, the barometer will be falling, and more storms of rain and snow will move eastward over the country from Thursday the 15th to Monday the 19th. Local cloudiness and occasional autumnal squalls May occur at almost any time, eyeu outside of storm periods, but decided and gen- eral storm movements will fall conspic- oously within the storm period. The truth of this declaration may easily be verified by all who desire to know the truth. Another decided dash of early winter will follow this period, being generally felt over the country and. lasting up to about the 21st. A correct and impartial observer will soon discover that the temperature rises, as a rule, at and about the con- junction of the Moon with Earth and Sun, or in other werds, at the new moon, The barometer usually falls at the same time. Ocean tides are high- er, seismic and earthquakes shiversare more apt to occur, and storm pheno- meoa are perceptibly intensified., also, when our satellite passes between us and the Sun. New Moon this month falls on the 22nd, the central day of the reactionary storm period. Moon is at its extreme south point en the 23rd, hence northerly gales and cold will follow storms atthis time,prompt- ly and sharply. The last storm period kir November is central on the 27th, extending from the 25th to the 30th. Marked storm conditions will begin westward about the 26th and energetic storms of rain, wind and snow will pass eastward over the country on the 27th to,30t1i. Moon being on the celestial equator on the 30th, high temperature, rain, snow and storminess will not subside generally until after that date, although a high barometer and cold wave will be in sight in the northwest as the month goes out.

Paris, Oct. 22.—The Eelaire in an rticle on the Anglo -German agree - ment, points out the previously an- tagonistic attitude of England and Germany in China. The paper says: "Berlin denounced the monopolist schemes of England, and Londoners predicted an invasion of the Yang- tsekiang Valley by Germany. Now the two peoples embrace and con- stitute themselves t he Champions of Chinese integrity. It is curious to see two knaves adopt this attitude." How Will zr Effect Russia?

Xamvollircittehs ntol"Elleal4inc'elf e rue: tBhuei true F a There are some 45 national associa. tons interested in poultry raising in the United States, The Live Stock divi- sion of the Pan-American Exposition, Of which Frank A. Converse is super- intendent, is in correspondence with all of these, and a most cordial co-opera- tive spirit is shown on the part of ev- ery one toward making the poultry and pet stock show of this Exposition the greatest of the kind ever held. The displays of poultry will comprise about 100 breeds. To these will be added six breeds of turkeys, II breeds of ducks and nine breeds of geese. As an evidence of their interest in the coming show many of the associa- tions have volunteered to duplicate the prizes offered by the Exposition. It is also proposed by the associations to do all in their power to boom this feature of the Pan-Americau Exposition at the winter poultry shows to be held hi Bos- ton, Ne* York, Philadelphia and other cities. It is estimated that not less than 75 per cent of the poultry associ- ations will offer special prizes. An important feature of the Pet Stock Show will he the exhibit of Belgian hares. The classification, however, covers all kinds of pet stock. The Bel- gian hares are being extensively raised in various parts of the country on ac- count of the value of their meat. The fine stock in these animals brings a - very high price, and the demand is sur- prisingly great. The Belgian hare Is much heavier than the common rabbit, weighing some seven or eight pounds and quite a different animal. Its flesh is described as a cross between venison and mutton and is highly prized in Eu- ropean countries for food. It breeds rapidly and feeds upon such simple and cheap foods as carrots, white oats, lettuce, clover and tender green food of very tame. Children are very fond of ±mhaermyinaksvdesIt does not burrow and is pets. Aside from their value for food, their fur is in demand for making fine felt. This will be the first noteworthy e0-. hibit of these animals in elinerice and will afford an opportunity for every one to gain useful knowledge concern - them. Great Luck of an Editor.
