In declaring against the billetting

ton has acted wisely. The molt iplicity
of conventions makes it undesirable

in a treeless country, the farmers
cannot have large barns,and the thresh-

with the desire to get as much plough-
ing as passible done between harvest

threshing. But it is .taking a big risk,
and this year the lose may amount to
Millions of dollars. Could it not be
•averted by good thatching, or the use
of tarpaulins ?

THE CLINT
A few days ago the Loudon Newe
presented this conundrum:—
"Can the Province tell us of any so-
called invention of a 'labor-saving de-
vice' that ever in the end inured to the
benefit of the laborer? We do not
know of any."
To this the Clinton NEw ERA re-
spond:—"Our own opinian is that
more or less all inventions of a labor-
saving nature have been of benefit
to the laborer. For instance, take the
sewing machine. By its aid the labor-
er wears better clothes than he could
if they were home made; his wife
clothes her children easier; she makes
in a week what she could not other-
wise make in a month." The NEw
ERA might have added that what is
true of the sewing mathine is true of
thousands of other inventions. To
take the ground that labor-saving
inventions have never in the end bene-
fitted the laborer is to assume that the
injustice of our laws and customs
regulating distribution nullify the ef-
forts of human genius. The laws re-
bulating distribution are bad enough,
ut not so bad as that. Labor-saving
inventions have done much to benefit
the masses who labor. — Hamilton
Times.
Well, let us take the sewing machine
as an example. Do you know of a
housewife whose work is lessened by
it? Do you know of any seamstress
who has to work less hours for her
day's wages on account of the sewing
machine? We do not. No doubt more
sewing can be done with it than by
hand, but does it lessen the amount of
labor necessary to gain a living? We
do not believe it does. Taking other
lines, we think the locomotive engineer
of to -day works just as hard and as
long as did the old-time stage driver.
The mntnr mon on our electric railway
work quite as hard as did the men who
used to drive a 'bus to London South.
Now, tell us some particular invention
that has been for the benefit of the
laborer. We are willing to learn, hnt
freely confess we know of none.—Lon-
don News.
The NEw ERA'S contention is that
all labor-saving machinery has con-
tributed to the well-being of the labor-
er—as to other classes of the communi-
ty, and we are willing tti take the case
of the sewing machine as an example.
Our cotem,• evidently, makes no al-
lowance for the changed conditions df
living. The sewing machine enables
every mother to dress her boys and
girls better than she could without it.
An ordinary laborer could not begin
to clothe his family as well and as
comfortably as he does but for the
sewing machine. Before sewing ma-
chines were invented the amount of
labor necessary to gain a living was
nearly as great as now, but people
were content to live plainer; then they
could not afford to buy on an average,
say, more than one suit of clothes a
year; now, because of machinery, th-�
can huv three at the- .reprice: When
cloth n, wild dresses were hand -made
people had to be content with less—
they simply could not make them, ev-
en if so disposed. Then the sewing
machine has given work to a great
many people in various ways.
The line of argument here used will
apply to all other forms of labor-sav-
ing devices. Men may work just as
hard, physically, for a living now as
before the introduction of machinery,
but they have comforts and privileges
that would be impossible were it not
for machinery, and, therefore, labor-
saving machines have "inured to their
benefit.
If stage coaches were still in use the
world over, letters would not be car-
ried from the Atlantic to the Pacific
for three cents; if type setting ma-
chines and fast presses had not been
invented the workman would not buy
his daily paper for one cent, If the
telegraph had never come into use, it
would take a laborer months to con-
vey information to his friends that
now takes minutes only.
All inventions, we repeat, have been
for the benefit of the laborer, (if not
directly, indirectly certainly) as well
as for the benefit of all classes. Were
it not so, we had better destroy all
machinery and revert to the original
mode of living pursued by the savages,
for it is partly the matter of labor-
saving machinery that makes our po-
sition better than theirs to -day.
A recent issue of the London Daily
Chronicle says:—"As a result of tbe
visit paid to this country during the
summer by the Canadian Commission-
er for Agriculture, shipments of choice
Canadian fruit will soon reach Bristol,
Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow.
Canadian fruit has not hitherto been
very successfully imported, but there
should be a great future for the trade
if carefully managed. Now it is ar-
ranged to send peaches, grapes and ap-
ples under conditions which may be
expected to insure their arrival in a
perfect state. Cold stores have been
erected, so that the fruit gets forty-
eight hours to cool before being sent
by rail, and other precautions will be
taken for the preservation of the fruit.
The Canadian Commissioner has ar-
ranged for the conveyance of apples in
ships with special ventilated cold stor-
age for the purpose. As the fruit
must be sent before it is quite ripe
there is great danger from the heat
generated by the ripening on the way.
All accidents are provided against this
year, and before long Canada should
reap the advantage of its enterprise
and a should get cheaper ft ui 'r

Our Ottawa Letter
(Special correspondence of the New Hue)
(Intended for last week)
Ottawa, Oct. 19.—As silly a story as has
graded the columns of the Opposition press
in a long, long time, is that for which the
Ottawa Citizen finds space on its front
page yesterday, with reference to the first
experience of tbe working of the new
Franchise Act, in the taking of the ple-
biscite. After stating that the names of
thousands of qualified voters were omitted
from the lists, the article declares that
this is "the first black eye for the new
Franchise Act, which is shown to be even
a greater absurdity than was pointed out
during the debate on the bill," and that
"it ,is thoroughly unworkable, etc." But
while 'this mach is amusing, the article
drops into a screaming farce at its nonr'.'r-
sin.-•---his is ubnitltres "that the Govern-
ment is seriously contemplating repealing
the act of last session altogether, and en-
acting the old Franchise Aot with some
amendments." It is abundantly evident
that the Citizen's funny man does not con-
fine his attentions to the editorial columns;
it is so highly probable that the Govern-
ment will revive an act which its own cre-
ators had long discredited and which was
animadverted upon with more thorough
unanimity throughout the country than
probably any piece of legislation since
Confederation.
AN IMAGINATIVE LADY
Considerable of a sensation was caused
some days ago by the appearance of the
first of Miss Shaw's letters on the Yukon
in the London, Eng., Times, and when
that venerable journal, pinning its faith
upon the statements of its representatives,
declared that there was apparently some
need of investigation, the Opposition or-
gans and anti -Canadian section of the press
shouted for joy. The shouting continues,
in a very minor key, however, when it was
discovered that the Government had only
been waiting until the necessary prepara-
tions could be made, and „some plansible
excuse found for ordering an investigation,
and that same shouting is dying away al-
together under a more critical reading of
Miss Shaw's letters. That versatile end
imaginative lady found that "in the min-
ing fields and in the streets of Dawson
there is a widely prevailing conviction, not
only that the laws are bad, but that the
officers through which they are administer-
ed are coridipt. There is no disguising
the universal diksatisfaction; it is impos-
sible to talk for five minntes on business
with anyone on the mines or in the streets
without some allnsion occurring to the
subject," etc.
THE WEIGHT OF TESTIMONY AGAINST HER
No one questions that Miss Shaw had
opportunity for conversation on the streets
of Dawson, but as to her personal experi-
ence of the mines, of the oonditione and
workings of which she speaks so compre-
hensively, the simple fact is that she only
visited one, and the balance of her infor-
mation it the merest hearsay. Most evi-
dently her impressions conveyed in the
above quotation have been gathered in the
same way, for against them are the
statements of Administrator Ogiliye, Ma-
jor Walsh, Ex -Gold Commissioner Faw-
cett, Mr White (Renter's correspondent),
Messrs Joseph Barrett and Philp, Col.
Domville and snores of others, all of whom
declare that they heard no oomplaints ex-
cept perhaps against the royalty, and that
it was impossible to find anyone prepared
to make a charge against any official, even
when urged to do so. While it is almost
sacrilegious for Britishere to -Dresden the
conclusions of the Thunderer, it must be
remembered that even it has been victi-
mized, and badly victimized in the past.
No one doubts its good intentions, still it
is at least the part of wisdom not to ao-
oept absolutely, and without qualification,
the stories of a correspondent who started
in upon her investigation after enjoying
the hospitality of Charles Hibbert Tupper
at the coast.
NOT THROUGH POOLINO YET
As if the Looal Opposition had not had
enough of fooling with alleged teohicalities
Rome sapient member of the party, signing
himself "Lex," has been trying to make it
still more ridionlons by raising a quibble
Aot governing the
wordingof the o v
the
upon g g
by-eleotione. While the house is in session
it seems the law forbids the trial, of any
election petition. 'ui` the holding of a by-
election. Technically the House is now in
session though ad' urned; for all praotioal
purposes it has b n prorogued, till next
year. To remove all doubt in the keen
legal minds of the pposition, the "Con-
stables' Aot" speoial provided that the
election trials should rimed, but the mat.
ERA
ter of bye -elections was not noticed, the '
brilliant legal intellects of Messrs Whitney,
Careoallen, Foy, et al, failed to note the
teohnioality, just as did the supporters of
the Government.
There i>3 no more question as to the in-
tention of the Aot than there was in the
oaee of the constables' vote, but as the
Mail -Empire gleefully declares, there was
one more chance, slight though it be, "to
get Hardy into a hole," and publio con-
venience or the dictates of common sense
carry no weight. Alas the reviving spirits
Roos drooped again, for, without wasting
time to discuss the matter, the Government
advised the Lieutenant Governor to pro-
rogue the House, and the House is pro-
rogued accordingly; the net effeot being
that the South Ontario election will be
delayed a few days. Truly Her Majesty's
Loyal Opposition in the Ontario Looal
Legislation is to be congratulated on its
broad and comprehensive appreciation of
public policy.
ALL WELL ON THE CROW'S NEST
The general satisfaction which is felt
through ant the country at the rapidly ap.
proaching completion of the Crow's Nest
Pass Railway will be considerably aug-
mented by the knowledge that the condi-
tion of the thousands of workingmen en.
gaged thereon is all that oan be reasonab'y
desired. Until the official report of the
Commission appointed after the last ses-
sion of Parliament has been made pnblio,
it is premature to express an opinion upon
the charges which led thereto, but the re-
cent testimony of indepeudent investiga-
tors agrees in declaring that every proper
attention is now being paid to the well-
being of the men. Thor ' oan be no doubt
that much of the alleged trouble was the
result of a large influx of laborers who
were physically unequal to the hardships
and privations of pioneer railway construc-
tion, but the prompt and ready manner in
which the Government took action has
without doubt greatly improved the
situation.
"THE DAY'S WORE."
The latest volumn from the pen of Rud -
yard Kipling, a collection of short stories,
under the title of the "The Day's Work,"
has jut been issued from the press. It is
not only of the interest which all writings
of this popular author have been, but is
much more so from the foot that this edi•
tion has been produced from the Canadian
press nnder Canadian Dopy right. The
admirers of Kipling will find much to their
liking in the eight or ten short stories
which the volmmne contains, and the
make-up of the book—letter-press, illu-
strations, paper and binding—is of the
class that reflects credit upon our home
manufacturers. The edition is published
by George Morang, of Toronto.
