FRIDAY, SEPT. 17, 1897,
TOE wholesale merchants of Montreal,
Toronto and Loudon say their Pall orders
exceed those of any year for some time
past and are confident of a big improve-
ment in the business of the country.
Let it come.
PsENnot HARD; accompanied by outer
prominent members of the Ontario
Cabinet, will pay a visit to East Huron
during this Fall or coming Winter and
speak on the public questions of the day.
The date will be announced in good time.
Ir is a very common thing for both the
"ins" and the "outs" to count noses often
about election times and thereby figure
out majorities. This is being doue in
more than ono locality today, with the
result that Mr. Whitney affirms that after
next election the "outs" will he "ins,"
and Hou. Mr. Hardy as confidently dis-
putee. The Dundee Banner ciphers it in
the following practical fashion :-As at
present constituted, there are in the On-
tario Legislature 02 members ; of these
48 are Liberals, 25 Conservatives, 14
Patrons, 3 P. P. A.'s, and 2Independents.
In order to get a majority the Conserva-
tives will therefore have to carry all the
seats they now hold, all the Patron seats,
both Independent seats, and some of the
Liberal Beate. No gentlemen, it cannot
be done!
LET ns see, last Provincial election "the
calf with the cough" was the watchword
from the banner of the Oppositiou but
owing to the recovery of aforesaid calf a
new ensign had to be adopted and accord•
ing to Mr. St. John, the talented repro-
sentative from York Co., who is touring
the country, a pig has been substituted.
We have often heard about the office hog,
and suppose Mr. St. John thinks that
unless he is a "rooter," as baseball boys
call an enthusiastic outsider in the game,
he will not stand lynch chance when his
party gets into power. Guess he will be
all right when that time arrives, unless
too old to fill au office. Surely there
must he some higher ground to fight an
election on and attempt to drive a good
Government out of power than the "blas"
of a.calf or the squeal of a hog, and we
don't venture much when we say the
electors will think so too. The Ontario
Government piggery at Swansea, York
Co., of which Mr. St. Sohn has had so
much to say, and which was depopulated
by hog cholera over a year ago, has been
thoroughly overhauled. blr. Warriner,
the manager, was at 0rillia and Barrie
buying hogs to re -stock it. It accommo-
dates about 400 hogs, The hogs are fed
on the refuse from the Central prison,
the asylum, Mercer reformatory and other
institutions, at a large profit to the
Province.
IN a circular sent -out by the Assad.
ation upholding the maintenance of the
liquor traffic, there is a blaok list of Local
Legislature M. P. P's who voted contrary
to what these gentlemen think and they
are raising the war -whoop that said M.
P. P.'s must be gibbited or kept out of
the next House. Boycotting is a danger.
ons game to play at, and any Assocfatiou
attempting to control the votes and core
sciences of legislators will find out that
they have a bigger contract on hand than
they imagine. The trend of public opin•
ion ie that the liquor traffic must go and
the threats and combinations of those
engaged in the business will only hasten
its downfall. Our boys are worth in-
finitely more than the paltry revenue.
What value do you place upon your son ?
We observe the mime of Thos. Gibson,
the veteran M. P. P., of East Huron, in
the list of those who have permission to
live. There is not a statuhcher abstainer
in the House and we are quite satisfied to
leave the decision in his hands as one
member. There are few Ridings, if any,
in Ontario, where a candidate would have
a ghost of a chance to be elected were ho
to ohampion the liquor traffic or the tak•
ing of a single retrograde step in that
direction. A hearty union of the votes of
the church members of this fair land
would forever blot out this' enemy to the
home and the Nation. What do you
think about it ?
Canadian farmers need have no vain
regrets if the Dingley tariff stone the
movement of our "stockers" to the
United States market, The very oboioest
stockers are worth nob morn than $86,
and a very large proportion of them are
sold at prince far below that, red into a
condition fit for the British market, the
hest"etocker" becomes a beast worth
070 to 075. The Canadian farmer might
as well allow his growing erase to earn
him this difference of 040 a head, es to
let that increase of wealth be made by
the animals •on United States pasture
fields. This year, at all events, when
feed is abundant, the Dingley tariff will
probably do our oattle trade more good
than harm. In such a year we could
stand an export duty on "stockers" if
need were.
A MOUNTAIN ACCIDENT,
J. R. {a1t.IN'I', 00' W'INNIPII(1, I1A1 A
NARROW ESCAPE.
The News -Bulletin of Winnipeg, Sept.
70h, gives the following oonoerniug .7. R.
Grant, a former well-known reeideut of
'Intimate :--
J. R, Grant, Northwestern manager of
the Federal Life company, returned to
the pity from the mountains a few days
ago and reported a successful trip. Mr.
Grant made but slight reference to an
accident in which he was a principal, but
the Rosslaud ]!finer tolls the story in
these words :
"A. few daye since, J. R. Grant, an M-
ammas agent front Winnipeg, who is
stopping at the Allan house in this city,
had rather au exaitiug adventure on the
road between Thompsoa's landing and
Trout lake, The road is over rough
ground and winds along the eidee of steep
mountains. At the place where this ad•
ventnre occurred the road has been out
along the side of the mountain and below
it is a declivity of 300 feet that stands at
an angle of 48 degrees, The inside of the
road was high and the outside, where the
fill had been made low. The driver, Mr.
Grant thinks, was carrying a load of wet
goods, for he was very reokless. Iu foot,
so erratic was the movement of the stage
that it wee with difficulty that lir. Grant
kept bis Seat, which was alongside of the
driver.
"Suddenly the inside wheels struck a
high place and the outside wheels a low
spot and over went the stage. Mr. Grant
deolaree that he was thrown as from a
catapult and sailed through the air with
the greatest ease for 45 feet and thea he
struck the side of the mountain a glanc-
ing blow. It didn't seem to hurt the
mountain, though he struck it hard,
Next he went tearing through the branch-
es of a cedar tree, which partially arrest.
ed his momentum, Again he struck the
side of the declivity, hounded over a
stump and finally came 'to a stop on a
Comparatively level place about 60 feet
from where he started. Fortunately no
bones were broken.
"The reckless driver held on to the
reins and did not fall very far from the
side of the coach. The six passengers, in
the inside of the coach, were thrown out
and landed softly and easily on a pile of
brush. The horses on the pole were
thrown down, while the two leaders got
tangled around a stump and prevented
the whole outfit from going down the
mountain side,
"After an hour's work the stage was
righted and the party resumed its jour•
nay. Mr. Grant after he got to Trent
Lake, spent 86 hours in bed, and at the
end of that time be had fully recovered
from his injuries."
INSURANCE TEAT. resumes,
The Daily Nor' -Wester adds :-A
Western paper relates the adventures
among the mountains of a oitizen of
Winnipeg, in the person of J. R. Grant,
local manager of the Federal Ltfe.
Certainly a leap through mid-air of
sixty feet, including a somersault was a
very clever feat even through quite in-
voluntary on his part. There seems to
be a divinity that hedges these insurance
men, bat in common with other mortals
they sometimes reach their level, even
though they have to come a long way
down to find it.
The hero of this incident shonld be
more careful in the selection of his stage
transport for the future. He is to be
congratulated, however, on his narrow
escape and his addition to the stock of
arguments about "insurance that insures,"
