NOTES AND COMMENTS
The Presidential election in the
United States takes place two weeks
frcm Tuesday.

An Ottawa despatch a Wednesday
last to a Toronto paper eays Post -
Master Farrow, of 13russe1s, is the last
known official condemned to the guil-
lotine. He has been dismissed for
allegeoffetisive partizanship.

The Seaforth Expositor has not yet
given its opinion of the recent appoint-
ments, viz That of Registrar of
Huron, and :the sub -collector of cus-
toms at Goderich The latter, an en-
tirely needless appointment, was made
by the Laurier Government.
x
Apropos of offices, it may be inter-
esting to know that the Ontario office-
holders numbered six hundred when
the Mowat Government assumed
power, and that they now number
three thousand- that is, they have in-
creased in the proportion or five to
one ?

There is a boom in wheat, and the
advance shows a gain since Augest ' of
25 cents a bushel on the Chicago Board
of trade. -
In this Exeter market an advance
of 10 eeats the 1a.4t. week -from 70e. to
80e. per bushel bas taken place.
Whether farmers have expected this
rise or not, one thing is certain, that
very little of the new crop has been
marketed ; in facts wheat deliveries
have beeit shorter this fall in this and
surrounding markets than during any
previous year.
The wheat crop the world over is
nothing like what it was estimated
to • be even a month ago, and hence
the rise.
Reports from India convey the
alarming. intelligence that a. vast re-
gion of that et -nutty, containing an
area of 40,000 square miles, and
population of 100,000,000 persons -one
third more than the population of
North America -is treated with
all the terrors of famine. The _crops
are a total failure, • provisionsare al-
ready beyond the retail a • the pother
classes, and there is inereasiug dan-
ger a starvation . for thousands of
vietitas. • esse • . .• • '
Fortunately .:the detinse-of _Canada
and the United -States -will enable
these countries to supply muela Of
the shortage- in the east, and it is
entirely certain that for a twelve-
month at least there will he an en-
ormous movement of grain froth the
Pacific coast to the Orient.
It should be recollected in this cone
neetion that in previous. years India
was credited with an export of SOlne
200,000,000 bushels, whiLet this year
she will have to be 'a large importer.
News came from San Francisco to
the effeet that on Saturday, Oettiber
1.7t1I„ two .more steamer cargoes of
wheat had been taken ta Indio. and
that enquires were being made for
sailing Vessels to take more wheat to
India. The whole situation is re-
garded as a emesequence of the stolid
indifference 'of European grain deal-
ers during the last year te the riek
they were running by zillowing their
stock to run down nearly „4eftethe bot,

It is anemeneed with great flourish
si the Manitoba school question
as been settled.Do not be too sure
aboat it, No doubt Mons. Laurier and
Mr. Greenway have come to an agree-
ment, and equally no doubt they have
understood each other all along and
played:into each other's hands. But
that does not settle the matter. There
are yet the people of Manitoba and
the hierarchy to be interviewed. When
day agree the question will be set-
tled -not before. In the meantime
Mons. Laurier and Mr. Greenway may
pose, but the Manitoba school ques-
tion is only just beginning to be trou-
blesome.

the Government to give up the struggle

This view of the situation outlines clear-

and the sad event was referred to to-
day in many of the Catholic and
Protestant churches.. It has been de-
cided at the City -Hall- to give Capt.
Laporte anti Firemen King and Car-
pontier a public funeral. which
nill-
take place Tuesday afternoon, and
which, no doubt, will be very largely
attended. The victims leave three
widows and seventeen children, and
all of these will have to be provided
ter. Each family will receive $1000
from the Firemen's. Fund, and no
doubt private donatiens will be forth-
coming.

Sir Charles Rivers -Wilson, the j 381 -
dent of the company, presided, and M
the course ot his remarks said, in re-
ference to statements which haat been
made regarding the increase of the ex-
penses of the company during the past
year, that' when the Presidential elec-
tions in the United States were over,
the west -bound traffic of , the road
would resume its ordinary proportion,
and the expenditures under the genera'
charges would be reduced itt the fu-
ture.
Referring to the general charges
against him of having ordered a noW
special car, the president said that
these allegations had been caused by
the picturesgfie imaginations of Cana-
dian local reporters. It was necessary.
he said, to have a new car to replace
the old one, which had outlived its
usefulness. Continuing his address,
Sir Charles said that Mr. Charles M.
Hays, general manager of the G T R
had shown hunself to be the very best
man for the position.
The statement that the management
had showit a tendency" to Americanize
the Grand Trunk road, he said, had
been greatly exaggerated. The G.T.E.
was to a very censiderable degree an
.Aineriean and ,the company must
be guided • b thn„. terests of the
shareholders, would never sUe
bordinate '' to sentintefital considera.
tions. The times whims had beset the
present administration, Sir Charles
said, had not been propitious, but the
horizon was clearing,. The volume of
business had been generally paralyzed,
but after the American election the
prosperity of the company would be
returned, American , railways, he
said, must pursue a waiting policy at
the present time. They must not be
considered experimental, though the
conditions were exceptiona/ and tran-
sitory. No scheme for the reconstruc.
tion of the capital of the company
would be taken into consideration by
the Board. The finances of tbe com-
pany were in a. condition to relieve all
anxiety, and upon the arrival of busi-
ness the company would be in a condi-
tion to avail itself of the fullest advan-
tages accruing to the shareholders,
The report was adopted unanimously,
The meeting was an exceptionally or-
derly one.
