SEAFORTII, FRIDAY, Nov. 15th, 1901
The South African War.
1t is nowatated plans are being prepared
in London and will soon be put in operation
for a more vigorous conduct of_ the war with
a view to bringing hostilities to a olose be-
fore the coronation festivitiea begin. Major-
General Hamilton has been despatched to
South Afrioa, to become Lord Kitchener's
chief of ataff, and other arrangements are in
progress, such as despetching large numbers
of additional mounted troops. The plan is
alerts being bried of making Boer fight Boer.
A carp of national scouts was recently or-
ganized of surrendered Boers. The first
squadron is now in the field and is doing
such good work that a second is being or-
ganized and others are likely to-- follow.
The corpse will be under the command of
British officers. It is expected that this
development will prove an important factor
in the speedy termination of the war, -and
an effective and satisfactory settlement
thereafter. It will also give employment to
captured and surrendered Boer soldiers, and
will relieve the British authorities of the
burden of aepporting them in idlenesseeIt
seems a rather dangerous experiment, but if
it works welethere is nothing more likely to
bring hostilities to a speedy close.
Raising a False issue.
The Goderich Star of laat week sa that
the bye-eleotion in West Huron is likely to
take place during the first week in Decem-
ber and it has already commenced to tone
up its readers for the campaign: Accord-
ing to the programme laid down by the Star
the conduct of the G-overnment and the
merits of the legislation they have given
the people are not to be iesues in this cam-
paign. Theae are to be laid until the
general election and a Fpcial issue is to be
provided for thia coming contest. It says :
" Major Beck has twice, we believe, been
fairly elected as the choice of this riding,
and each time the will of the people has
* been thwarted by means which, in ordinary
businees matters, Mr. Garrow would con-
demn as an outrage. The desperate at-
tempts made to cover up the carniyal of cor-
ruption that marked the lasteleceien,by spir-
iting away and keeping out offehe dountry the
chief witnesses, and then by long delays and
legal tricks seeking to wear out Major Beck,
have made Mr. Garrow and those who as-
Biated hiel open to the charge of complicity
with the boodlera and erluggers who overran
the riding in his behalf. Beoause of these
efforts the riding has been disfranchised for
VWC1 sessions of the Legislature, and now
Must undergo the turmoil and expense of
another eleotion, Under such treatment
as thia, representative governmeet becomes
a farce, and the franchise a thing of no value
or reverence. The peaple owe it to them -
serve ta condemn this scandal and iniquity
at the first opportunity."
We do not think the Star can run an
election on any such lines as this. The
people are too intelligent to permit of any-
thing of this kind. According to the Star,
Mr. Garrow and hia supporters are " hood -
lets " and " pluggers," while Mr. Beck and
leis friends are angels of lighb and purity.
Yau can't make the peoplesbelieve any such
stuff as this, Mr. Star. The peeple kr..cw
that both Ur. Beck and Mr, Garrow are
reputable members of the community, and
that one is not any more likely than the
other to encourage " boodlers " and " plug -
gars " or to desire to profit by such manipu-
latione and foolish, if not impertinent,
for either nide to hurl accusations of this
nature againat the other, It is equally
silly for the Star to try to create a feeling
of sympathy for Mr. Beck in the way it is
doing. If any pereon is entitled to sym-
pathy it is Mr. Garrow. . -But we do not
euppose that either of them desire eleotion
as a matter of sympathy, but that both are
willing to appeal to the people on their
merita and the merits of the principles
which they present to them. It is all non -
seises to say that Mr. Beck has been twice
fairly elected to represent tbe people and it
says little for the boasted institutions of
the ceuntry to affism that having been thus
elected he could be cheated out of his rig hte.
The Stet should give up thi 3 sort of whin -
ing nonsense. It will not do Mr. Beck any
good eel if he countenances it he is not
halt the man we take him to be, nor does
he deserve to aucceed.
We cannot apeak of the first election, be-
cause the petition never went to trial and
there was no evidence published. Of the
second election, however, thepublio are as
competent to judge as the Stern There was
a very exhauetive trial ; every opportunity
was given Mr. Beck arad his friends to make
out the best °see they could_ and -the evi-
dence educed does not justify the charge
that the election was marked by " carnival
of corruption." On the contrary, the evi-
dence went to shoW that, with one single
exception, the election had been remarkably
free _from corruption, and this obe exoeption
was due to exoessive zeal mspired whirr.
keyeend. was conducted in such a manner
as to ahow that it was the woek of imbeciles.
And, farthermore, it was not shown thab
even one single vote had been gained for
Mr. Garrow_by the corruptiote or attempt-
ed corruption, practised at _eiringharn. B ub
natwithstanding thia feet it Was this v,hit.th
cost Mr. Garraw hia seat and a good deal of
money and anxiety besides. So that, if any
person is especially entitled to sympathy in
this connection, it la Mr. Garrow, wh o was,
decidedly, the principal sufferer. iBut we
have a better opinion of him also, than to
think he would appeal to the people on any
such grounds.
It is equally incorreot and foolish on the
part of the Star to insinuate that the fault
of the riding having been unrepresented is
due to Mr, Garrow. The fault of this, if
fault there be, is due to the dillitoryness of
the courts. Mr. Garrow, in common with
many others, believed he had been unjustly
unseated and he appealed from the decision
of the trial judges to a higher court. This
he -had a perfect right to do, and no doubt
the Star and Mr. Beck would have acted in
a like manner had they been similarly situ-
ated. Mr. Beck has no grievance on this
nor any other grounds. He is not an object
of sympathy in any sensee and in trying to
Taint him a victim of Grit wickedness the
-Star is not doing him a good service, but is
making itself and him ridiculous, and at the
same time justifies the suspicion that it is
only preparing a soft spot upon which its
protege can fall when he is defeated ab the
coming election,
The Organs Don't Agree.
The Toronto World, the junior Conserva-
tive organ of_ Toronto, gives its senior the
following severe rap over the knuckles, It
8E158 :
"The Mail is chasing moonbeams. It
compares the Roes Government to Croker,
of New York ; in the next column it tells
Mr. Ross that his conduct and Attorney -
General Gibson's conduce towards the Gas
Company are both praiseworthy. Where
Ross is vulnerable is in his relations with the
corporations, his scrap iron law, hie failure
to make the Gas Company play fair ' with
Toronto. This talk about Croker and in the
next column saying the proposed new' agree-
ment between Toronto and the Gas Com-
pany is in the interest of the citizens, is
comic -faced. It is 'giving the people's case
away. Has Mr. Whitney .anything to say
about corporations not keeting their agree-
ments ?"
Of course it ir very silly of the Mail, as
the World points out, to compare the Ross
Government with Croker, of New York.
And if greater sins can not be eharged
against the Rees Government, than that -
they do not side in with. Toronto in its
never ending disputes between the city and
the various corporations which serve it,
they have a very clean and satisfactory
record, and the people should nate the fact
that this is the worst asharged against the
Government by one of their moat influential
opponents.
A Good Start. -
We take the following from the Hamilton
correspondence of the TOronto Globe :
" The Ontario Normal School of Deirinstin.
Science and Art, although in operation oely
two years, has been very, successful in secur-
ing positions for its graduatee. Miss Bow-,
ditch is Government demonstrator, Miss
Grace Sutherland has been appointee'. to a
position in the Straford public schools, Miss
Tennant to Brantford, Miss Grace Hagar, of
Acton. to Belleville • Miss Belva Shepherd
to St. Thomas, and ilies Helen Given to a
position in this city. Requests have come
also for graduates for places in Renfrew and
Kingston. All thee° graduates 'are receiving
salaries of $500 a year or over, that being
the minimum they,areopermitted to accept."
It would appear from the above• that this
very excellent institution, although still dn
its infancy and sterted pretty much in an
experiment, is doing good work, It must
be gratfying, also, to its promoters, to know
"that Us work is commencing to be appreci-
ated by the public, in whose interest it is
being carried on. We hope its -influence will
spread until, at least, all the leading public
schoola in the Province will have a domestic
science departMent, Under the-eare of a
trained teacher, in connection with it. There
is no branch of education of more practical
advantage or one that is really more needed.
The time should not be far in the future.
when no young woman's education will be
considered complete unlete she is able to
cook and serve a family meal decently, " and
to bake a loaf of good bread, and hes a fair
knowledge and appreciation of the science of
hygiene. It may be said that ehese aecone
plishments can be acquired in the home, and
that a pUblic institution is not necessary for
their instruction. This may' be so to i -a- lim-
ited extent, and in a yery moderate degree.
But there are thousands of homes in both
rural and urban Ontario where the health
and comfort of thelfamily Would be very
greatly promoted if the wife or daughters of
the family had enjoyed the advantage° of in-
struction in the branches earned, and which
are properly taught inetheee schoolsee They
are of vastly greater importance and advant-
age than many of the accomplishments
which are now sr eagerly sought, although
the acquirement of the one does not neces,
eerily imply the abandonment of tbe other.
There is apher commendable feature
noted in the above extract, viz : Thal a
minimum salary is fixed for the graduat es.
It is a pity thaesome such rule could not be
adopted for our public school teachers. It
would be better for both teachere and pupils.
The ealaries paid to public school teachers,
as a rule, are shamefully low, and are in' no
measure commensurate with the expense
and labor neceesery for the requirements of
the profession. In would be in the inter.'e
I
ests of education generally if the remuner•
ation of teachers could be brought to a high-
er level. Good teriebers would then be more
apt to remain in the profession, and our
sehools would be conducted by experienced
teachers, inetead of by raw and inexperi-
enced recruits, as is too frequently the 'case
now, and who are employed by tr stee
boards, simply because they are cheap, and
not because of their experience and e ci-
emu.
Editorial Notes and Comme ts.
Should the editor of the Brussels 'lost
ever find it necessary to visit the city o St.
Joseph, he had better take a good ized
body.guard with him, or Major Confine will
have him entombed in the innermost y
of the big city building and there have him
preserved from evil speaking for the r t of
his life. This is what the naughty man
ye:
" We notice that a delegation of big and
little politicians' recently visited St. Jos pin
on the shores of (Lake Huron, with th in-
tent of the expenditure of money for he bor
or dock purpoees. St. Joseph needs a har-
bor about as badly as a goose requires side
pockets, and any such expenditure is just
that much money , thrown away as fa as
serving the,public. , A harbor is not reit uir-
ed there, ner is there any probability f it
ever being used if it were there. Su ely
there has been money enough squandered by
both political parties in the past in break-
watere, docks, harbors etc., without con.
tinuing this noneeneical work any longer.
No person can object to legitimate expend.
iture in necessary public works, but why
' members do not protest against the misuse
of monies that should be applied to
other purposes we fail to make out. If
wilful waste makes woeful want,' then it
is about time that somebody called a halt,
and the Post for one says_ someone should be
brought sharply to time if this kind of work
is continued. We could mention so-called
harbors on which thousende of dollars were
spent and they are in worse shape. to -day
than tee years ago, and do not nor never
did even begin to pay a tithe of the interest
on the money foolishly spent, nor servo any
practical purpoae."
The Hamilton Times thinks that one of
the principal reasons for the big elump in
the receipts of the Buffalo Pan-American
Exposition was the failure on the part of the
:management to properly advertise their
show ia the newspapers. No doubt there's
a good deal of truth in this. Judicious
newspaper advertising_is a powerful lever
towards the success cif any worthy enter.
prise, and many individuals as well as com•
panies fail to recognize this fact until it is
too late. A penny-wise arid pound-foolish
policy in this direction is net:wise either in
public or private enterprises- where the pat-
ronage of the public is required.
"It is to be hoped that Mr. Whitney will
look into the Ontario mining question and
do eomething for the great mineral industry
as soon as he takes .office." So says the
Toronto Mail and Empire. Yes, it is to be
hoped Mr. Whitney will do all our contem-
porary suggest "as soon as he takes office."
gut if relief does not come until then; pres-
ent appearancea indicate that it will be long
delayed. In the meantime the mineral in.
dustries seem to be doing very well without
being " looked -into " ben Mr, Whitney.
They are growing and prospering.
In speaking of- the " scrap kali " law
adopted by the Oatario Legislature last
seseion, and which has been declared inop-
erative by three Toronto judges, a contem-
porary -says : " Mr. Foy, who is head and
shoulder above every man in the present
Government from the point of , view of
ability, told Mr. Ross how his law would
work, and tnstructed him how tb make it
effective." It is said there is no accounting
for taste. And certainly there is no ac-
counting for opinions as to individual
ability. Mr. Foy reap be possessed of- the
very , superior. abilities with whieh he is
credited, but if eo he has thus far religious-
ly abstained from showing it.
At a Conservative meeting in Toron to,
the other night, Mr. Osier, one of the lead-
ing ,Conservatives in the Dominion Parlia-
meet, speaking of Oatario politics, exprets-
ed he opinion that the Opposition in the
Legislature would be the better of -a little
mere ginger. Ha ale° gave expression to a
trueiem which should be taken to heart by
the Liberals of this Province. He said :
" Ontario is the Province that must and will
-redeem the Dominion for the, Coneervative
party, and that upon the coming Provincial
campaign wculd largely depend sircess in
the next Dtminion campaign,"
Mr. Thornae F. Wallace was unanimously
nOminated by the ponservatives of West
York, on Saturday, as their cane date at
the approaching bye -election to fill ehe
vacancy in the Dominion Parliemen caused
by the death of Hon. Clarke Wallac The
candidate is a brother of the deceas d mem-
ber and was his business partn r. Mr.
Wallace was nominated by Mr. W. J.
Sutherland, the gentleman who nominated
Mr. N. Clarke Wallace 23 years ago, wheu
he first entered politics.
_
The servant girl problem is troubling the
ladies of Toronto as well us those of other
'places. At a recent) meeting it was pro.
pcsed to import negro girls from the Island
of Barbadoes and educate them for house
service. We fancy, however, this proposi.
tion will not meet) with much fvor in this
country. We agree with t e Toronto
World when it says that such a 'step would
not solve the difficulty, but. would accentu-
ate it. The problem will more likely be
solved by elevating the position of the do-
mestic servant. It cannot be solved by
still further degrading the position. The
ladies who have this matter in hand ought
to devise some means for making the ser•
vent girl's position as acceptable as that of
the waitress, the office or factory girl. The
beat waysto proceed is to level tlip, not
down:
The write have been issued for the bye -
election in West Huron. The election is to
Aake place on Wednesday, December 4th,
and the nomination on the preceding Wed-
nesday. The candidates, of course, Will be
Hon. J. T. Garrow and Mr. Joseph Beck.
This will be the third contest between these
gentlemen' within the past three years. As
there will bet -a general election in a few
months, and there will be only one Tession
of the Legislature in the interval, it would
• almoet seem superfluous to have an eitiotion
now although, we suppose, the law requires
it. 'As Mr. Garrow has held the seat for a
stood many years, it would be a graceful act
for the Conservatives to follow the eXample
of their compatriots In East Kent and allow
him to be elected by Reclamation this flute,
and thus husband their strength and inib-
stance for the big fighb next June. 1 How-
ever, appearances seem to indioate that they
are not dioposed to pursue so sensible a
colirse, and an election is now probable.

—Mr. Charles Gillespie, of Wingham, died
suddenly on Wednesday night of last week.

business at Whitechurch until six years ago,
when he moved into Wingham, and entered

—Five weeks ago Fred Elford, of Holm( s-
ville, put in 150 ctickens for the government
feeding station. They were kept in special.
ly constructed crates, 15 to a crate and
were ted twice a day, the food consieting of
fine ground 'oats and skim milk. They were
given gravel twice a week, and during the
last ten days were fed tallow to sweeten the
meat and make it juicy. At the outset
they were spiiukled with sulpher, and also
ten days before killing to deatroy insects,
but although kept in close quarters during
their enforced confinement, not an insect
was found on them, nor was one of the fowl
in any way injured. The lot consisted
mostly of pure Barred Rooks, or grades,
and the experiment shows that the nearer
the fowl is to being pure bred the more they
gain. Mr. Eiford kept also a orate of com-
mon fowl, merely to see how they would
compare with the others. For the firat week
they gained in flesh, but after that tkey
made no gain. When the fowl were firet
put in they weighed 553 pounds, or an
average of n pounds each. When their
necks were wrung on Tuesday of last week,
they had gained 350 pounds in flesh. Tues-
day was'a, busy day, a number being engaged
in plucking the fowl, which were placed on
a pressing board, before being packed, 12 in
a box, for export to the old country. Mr.
Hare, of the Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa, who has charge of this particular
branch, was present, and expressed himself
highly pleased with the result, advising Mr.
Elford to put in another lot at once, which
he intends doing. Mr. Elford has the set-
isfaction of beating Whitby station, his
fowls being the heaviest.

—A Very sad and distressing accident oc-
cured at Newton, on Monday morning of
lent week, at about nine o'clock, by which
one of the most esteemed citizens of that vil-
lage suddenly met his death. Michael
Jantzi, proprietor of the planing mills, was
engaged in oiling the drivewheel of the en-
gine,whet his coat was caught by a nut that
protruded from the main shaft ing. He was
drawn against the ehafting, and whirled
round and round. The shaft makee about
two hundred revolutions a minute, and Mr.
Jantzi was carried round it, his limbe and
over parts of his body striking against the
heavy frame work. Mr. Ruthig, young
man in the employ of Mr. Jantzi, was busy
at the planer. Hearing a noise he looked
up, and, seeing Mr. Jantzi in this horrify-
ing position, quiokly ran and shut off the
engine. He spoke to Mr. Janizi, but re.
ceived no answer, He then called for help,
and Mr, Jantzi was extricated from the
death -dealing madhinery, but succumbed to
his terrible fate in about ten minutes. One
leg was completely severed from his body,

OEITUARY.—The followieg, which we
take from the M0088 Jaw, Northwest Ter-
ritory, Times, will be read with melancholy
interest by many friends in this neighbor-
hood : "The death of the late Mrs. James
Rouatt, which occurred at Buffalo Lake, on
Wednesday morning, October 9th, was a
sudden and severe shock to herrelatives and
friends. Last spring she had undergone an
operation in the Winnipeg hospital, which
was quite succeesful, and prospects of her
early recovery were hopefully indulged in,
end up to a few days before her death she
was getting along very fair, considering the
seriousness of the operation. She hid been
out driving on the previous Monday and
seemed to bequite well and cherry, but on
Tuesday she did not feel as vvell and grad-
ually grew worse until about one o'clock
Wednesday morning, when the relentless
hand of death ceased. her suffering,s. The
bigh esteem in which deceased was held by
the people among whom she had lived for
the past eleven years of her life was mani-
fested by the large attendance at the funer-
al. Although the sad intelligence of her
death was known to few until a short time
before the funeral, upwards erf 60r rigs fed -
lowed the remains to their last resting
place. The late Mrs. Rouatt was 37 years
of age, and was born in -the township of
Minto, Wellington county. She came to
Moose Jaw with her parents, Mr, and Mrs.
Thomas Winn, in 1890, and in 1896 was
married to her now bereaved husband. She
a mernber of the Methodist church and
was a true Christian loving woman. She
died happily wit h her whole trust in God,
her maker. The death of Mrs. Rouatt re-
moves one of Buffalo Lake's most respected
citizens, and the eympathy of the surround-
ing community is extended to the sorrowing
family, especially the bereaved husband,
who has lost a most indulgent and kind
wife. To have known Mrs. Rouatt inti-
mately was to respect her highly. Few
women of her pretentions were so well
versed on all matters. She was a most en--
tertaining conversationalist and her kind-
ness of heart was known to all, We shall
all miss her." -
