THURSDAY, AUGUST 3rd, 1899
Last week a Montrealer made an
application to the Department of Agri-
eulture or leave to establish an oleo-
margarine factory in Canada. The
Government has refused the petition
absolutely. The policy is to allow no
sath man -denture, or anything that is
calculated to depreciate the quality of
. the Canadian Food products.

Another strike is imminent on the
Grand Trunk, the advance in wages
only being granted to the seetion-men
on the main lines. The Grand Trunk
Railway injured the country by trying
to compel men to work for 98 cents a
day. Public opinion was so strongly
arrayed against the Grand Trunk that
the Senate wa,S encouraged to alter a
bargain to the disadvantage of that
corporation. The ill -will which the
•Grand Trunk ineited by its meanness
will not be removed by the tardy and
restricted justice of the so-called settle-
ment, and altogether General Manager
Hays did a bad day's work for his em-
ployers -when he provoked the strike,
and they are bringing onmore discredit
by refusieg to grant the increase to
the branch lines the above was put in
type. 500 of the men accepted the
advance.

The investigation hsto the irregular-
ities in connection lith the West
Huron Dominion Election is being
continued this week at Ottawa, before
the Privileges and Elections commit-
tee. Some startling facts of crooked
work have been brought out, and the
Tories are well pleased with the fruits
of the investigation, and the Liberals
have abandoned the indifferent air
they at first affected. Matters are
getting too hot for their colleague.
Robt. Holmes, who, though we might
not impute any crookedness to him,
should at once resign. In No. 4, Col-
borne township, 43 electors swore that
they had voted for McLean, the de-
feated candidate, while only 30 bal-
lots were found marked • for
• him in that division. The ballots
were printed on two qualities of paper
with different type and ink, and were
initialed sorne with pencil, sotne
Counterfoils evhich should be destroy-
ed were kept by the deputy. These
and various other irregularities were
•• proven. Mr. Holmes, who aussmes
the role of a leader of all things that
are pure and holy, should, for the ex-
ample to be imparted, at once resign.

The disposal of the estimates on
which the House has been engaged
• will not end them for on Teesday
supplementary estimates were intro
-
ducal. asking for five and a half mil-
lion dollars more. These estimates in -
c lude items which cannot be justified.
For instance $250,000 is asked to build
elevators and warehouses at Montreal.
The commission will be next asking
that the G overnment build barges for
them. If they cannot handle the grain
entrusted to them without Goyern-
meat help they had better go into some
lensiness stilted to their capacity.
• When it is considered nine -tenths of
the grain that will go through these
Government elevators will he Ameri-
• can the case is all the worse. • Then
$150,000 is asked to deepen Port Col-
• borne harbor, intended to assist the
large United States lake vessels to use
the Welland Canal, Two millions dol-
lars have already been voted for the
• militia, but in these new estimates
$280,000 more are asked; $175,000 for
the Paris exhibition is pure waste, and
an inetallment of a much larger sum
that will follow. • The insatiable Inter -
colonial Railway gets $700,000 in addi-
tion to what is voted in the rnain esti-
mates and for the Yukon over a mil-
lion is asked. These supplementary
•eettes raise the total Amount Par-
liament is expected to vote for the
fthancial year which began 011 the first
f July to., within a trifle of sixty

There, are some further supplementer -
les to come down, but these xnust be
left out of the question for the pre-
sent, The •Government is "breaking
"it gently" to the people by introdae-
ing its propoeitiOns pecemeal. When
we know. the worst it will be time
enough to consider it.
To this enormous expenditure we
have never had a parallel, and the sur-
prise of it is that it is proposed by
politicians evho came to office "view-
"ing with alarm" an outlay of from
thirty-six to thirty-eight millions, and
promising to cut the figures down by
four millions and thus to relieve us of
debt and taxation. This sum is $20-
000,000 more than what Sir Richard
Cartwright gave the people to under-
stand was neccessary for the proper
government of the country. But the
unparalleled extravagance of the Gov-
ernment is hardly less objectionable
t hen the indecent haste with which
these bonuses are being railroaded
t hrough the Home. It will be inapos-
ible to properly consider the merits of
the various schemes diming the last
week of session. By the time the
details of the various proposals reach
the people the money will have been
voted away. The time is so short that
no opportunity is possible for the peo-
ple to investigate the projects and
make known their views to their re-
presentatives. The bigger part of the
138 days during which the House has
been.Sn session has been frittered away.
The Government leaves till the last
week the most important business
that the House has to deal with.
A BayfieldeSunday Sensation.
Four visitors from Seaforth named
Patrick McCahey, Thomas Murray,
Martin McPhee and John Sutherland
nearly met a watery grave at Bay-
field on Sunday during a foolhardy
boating adventure. A stiff Nor' -
wester was blowing and the, waves
rolled high. The men took a small
rowboat from the River Hotel and
left the harbor to breast the billows.
They had some difficulty in leaving
the shelter of the north pier, which
curves southward in spoon fashion,
on account of the heavy swell, but
once in the open, the dory began to
ditch in the most alarming manner,
now balanced upon the crest of a
wave, and again lost to the sight of
those on shore in the trough. At first
the experience, which seemed novel
to the Seaforth boatmen, was enjoyed
with great relish. One of them sit-
ting in the stern would throw up his
arms and shout hilariously. He was
the "tenderfoot" of the party, and
eves promised on setting out that
whatever happened he would be look-
ed after. AU he had to do was to
"catch hold of Jack" and he would
be borne to land by a strong "swim-
mer." He now says he will trust no
more such promises. He has had
enough of the water. A number of
the lady guests of the Queen's Hotel
were on the wharf and beach as the
men passed out of the harbor, and all
agreed 'that they were courting death.
But the men kept on and. rounding
the pier set straight for the open
lake. The result predicted was realiz-
ed before they proceeded twenty yards
beyond the pier. The little boat was
swamped by a foam -crested wave, and
the men were in a moment struggling
for their lives. Patrick McCahey,
who could not swim, and relied upon
his friend to save him, found no help
ready, and sank twice. How be
reached the end of the pier neither he
nor any one else can tell but he was
probably dashed in by the rollers and
was in a very exhausted condition.
Tbe ladies who were looking on the
scene, including Mrs. Bremner,
Misses Henwood, Bayly andIllastings,
of Toronto, Mrs. Frank Glass, of
London, and Miss Staunton, of Hamil-
ton, were horrified, but, had presence
of ruind to do all that was possible.
Mrs Glass mounted a pile of lumber
that was at the wharf head, and
threw down a dozen or more boards,
which were thrown by her companions
into the water. There was nothieg
else movable at hand, and the nem
were fortunately able to reach these
"life savers."
McCahey and another were drawn
• up by means of a shawl, which Miss
Henwood lowered to them in lieu of a
rope. The ladies relined were the near-
est spectators of the mishap, but in a
short time the news spread, and. men,
women and ch.ildren ran to the scene
from all directions. The beach at Bay-
field is shallow and very safe for bath-
ers, who may wade out for a long dis-
tance; but this capsize took place out
in the ship's channel. It is noteworthy
Giant the harbor has no life-saving .fa-
cilities, such as ropes along the per,
as in other poets. This sheuld be seen
to, as in the summer season boating is
one of the most attracting diversions
of visitors..

It :s proposed to increase Premier

about twelve hundred troops in the
city doingstrike duty. A private sol-
dier receives $2 a day for riot. duty.
Their total, with the pay of the of-

about $3,000 a day • for this item. The
cost of feeding the men is estimated at
$500 a day.
At no less than four of the best
known hotels in Stratford, the wine
clerks are off duty, the reason being
that the landlords of those four hos-
telries have been compelled to hut
up shop, owing to their game of bluff
being called by the License Commis-
sioners of North • Perth. The four
hotels concerned are the Windsor, the
Albion, Arlington and the Gladstone.
As well-known, the landlords of
these for hotels were given until Tues-
day to make certain repair. They
were told that. unless these repairs
were effected the commissioners would
withhold their liquor licenses. Ap-
parently they thought that the of-
ficials were only playing a. game of
bluff, for nothing was done. To -day
they are sorry. The only persons who
are really sufferingby the drasticmea-
sures of the cotennissioners appear to
be the four proprietors of the hotels
in question, viz. Messrs Eli Hudgins,
J. O. Kress, J. it; Gillis and H Miller.
These ,gentlemen doubtless have al-
ready had reason to regret the penny'
and pound foolish policy of their
landlords, The Windsor and Albion

• Cleveland, 0., Aug. 2—This is the
17th day of the present street car strike
in this city and apparently it is no

began.
Late last night some unknown persons
pushed an eleotrie freight car loaded
with ties from a switch on Mayfield
Heights, just east of the city, on to the
main track and down the long steep hill
towards Euclid avenue. Halfway down
the incline it collided siith an %abound
car with terrific force. lloth cars were
badly wrecked. Two passengers wereon

they nor the crew were injured beyond a
