D ER, Props.,' --- THURSDAY, SEPT, 28th, 1893° ME PREMIER'S TU UE. Western Ontario is to be oongratulat- ;al ou the near prospect spect of haying in their midst the able and eloquent Prom - lei of Canada, Sir John S. D,Thompson K. C. M. G, who has thus far proved a worthy successor of our late lamented el•Osftairi. On )1'oncle y , next, thePrime n;*.',ister ir, the eourse of his present political campaign—in response to ear- nest solicitations from all parts of On- tario—will hold a demonstration in Lu - can at 2 p. nn•, to discuss freely the political issues of the day. Sir John c -rill l e aeccrnpa.nied by several of his. aclleagnes,-•--incl :llcg the lion. G. E. :Coster, Minister of Finance, and Sir C. H.Tuppor, Minister of Marine. It zoos r itih'�tet saying that public expectation will be on the tiptoe to hear Canada's policy expounded by those vigorous and eloquent speakers. As our readers are aware, two of the drain points on which the members of Cabinet will nat- urally be expected to speak are those e£ tariff reform and the Manitoba school question. ljpon the former sub- jr•:;`, AS rrtvo zially times addressed our readers, proving• to their satisfac- tion, as we think, that cvhile the feder- al g3vorn".aelA was always and is now prepared to modify the tariff according the varying exigencies of the coun- try from time to time, there is still the same necessity for giving due encour- agement to the farming, manufactur- ug, and mining industries of this Do- minion as when the National Policy was first irritated. As to the other vexed question—that of the Manitoba public Schools, on wh.ieh we think there has been a good deal of unnecessary fric- tion—there is no one subject perhaps on which the Premier will be expected to give forth a deliverance at the Lu - can gathering on ia'ionday next, more delicate or more intensely interesting to the general public iu this particular community. There will be, in all like- lihood, an immense assemblage of pec• ple from all parts of the three neigh boring counties—composed largely of Catholics as well as Protestants,. who will all be anxious to catch every worct that n. li fall from the Prime Minister's lips uii such a burning question. For ourselves, we entertain not the slight est doubt that Sir •John's utterances will be re assuring to our Protestant friends, and that, whatever his own personal or .religious views may be the leader of the government who by his past political course has shown that he is a fair Ire ,•-•a Ca.ra.dian more than a Catholic, and one who .is .pre pared to hold evenly the scales of jus- tice in administering the; public affairs of oris widely extcudnd Dominion, w hinb en el lass ;within its full all ra- ces are:' e cl s—we say, that Sir John Thompson will satisfy public inquiry on this all engrossing subject, and that the gathering at Lucan will afford an opportunity of clearing up doubts and surmises as to the course which the government has already pursued, and is still likely to further pursue, on that most delicate and exciting ques- tion of religious rights and privileges, We augur that great good will flow• from the present political campaign of members of Cabinet, and we congratu- late our readers on the splendid oppor- tunity that will be afforded them of hearing some of Canada's ablest states- men on the political issues of the day. FAILURE 01? COAL OIL. Reports are in circulation to the ef- fect that the supplies of petroleum in the United States are beginning to fall. For some time the Pensylvania oil fields have fallen off in their production and the older fields of Ohio are also said to be giving out, while new dis- coveries do not by any means balance the losses. In the old world the oil of Baku is largely taking the place of American oil, so that the exports from this side of the Atlantic may be ex- pected to fall off. • The failure of the Pennsylvania and Ohio o fields: it •n' 0 0 o itw 1 of be an unmixed evil to Canada. 011 will for a time be dearer, because it is not it all probable that our ()t' tario supplies will be able to meet the home demand. But there is little doubt that theoil fields of the Mackenzie river are the riaheist in the world. So soon as the nil cadence of the fields: in the United States. shall ad- vanee prices prospeetars" will invade the Mackenzie basin, and walls will be duo'there by the thousand, ,' Whether the oil will be carried by pipe or by rail it will come down in such quant- ities q #ties that when it is put upon the mar Iterrprices will probably' robabl ' be lower than they are at prest'ni. Piet the. time is; rapidlyapproaching itt which the world will be less depend- ent upon mineral ail, than it now iso The progress made in electrical ectence warrants a belief that the power of every waterfall and rapid in Canada" will be carried by wire ' hundrens of miles and _utilized not only for the operation of machinery, but for light and heat, We need not worry about the exhaustion of coal mines and oil supplies. Our ancestors used to fear that their.decendants would haye no fuel when the forests were yet ex- hausted. The forests are not ex- hausted, but the coil mines have giv- en us very good fuel. Wlien they in turn shall give out the power of the winds and the ivatr+rR will remain, and these will supply alt the light, heat and power the world will need, Nems of the Wock in Brief, '9:lSTI IRSIDA.`.t,.' c4eanteinnber 21st.

Petoskey, Mich., Sept. 23.—Abram Wilsey, a laborer, who had been work- ing in the Rise tannery, shot his wife four times with a revolver this after- noon, and was himself instantly killed by a young man named henry Sik, who had boarded with them for some time. The _Wilseys have lived unhap- pily ever since their marriage, seven. years ago, and they parted by mutual consent three week ago, and the we. man had applied for a divorce. Wilsey went to the boarding house this after noon, and, after vainly trying to in- duce his wife to live with him, he drew a revelver,evolver, and as she fled lie fired four shots; all taking effect and producing probably fatal injuries. The young border who was one of the three men whose 'lives Wilsey had threatened, rushed into the room, and, dodging behind the door, fired four times, one ball going through Wilsey's body and the other striking• him in the forehead. Sik is a Swede, about 26 years old, and seems very unconcerned, frankly ad- mitting that he shot at Wilsey, ar- though the woman claimed that he shot himself.
