MICaartly Ga ndhi:tics aro cropping up
foe the next Dominion election, the latest
being architect Powell, of Hamilton, who
will oppoeo the redoubtable Dr. Montagne
in Haldimnnd County.
Tun anti•Prohibitioniete are going to
aid (1) the cense of temperance in this
Province by urging strongly the uee of
wine, ale and beer. A great many peo-
ple have already tried this plan, quickly
developed an appetite for something
stronger and filled a drunkard's grave.
Minus is a feeling of unrest on the
European continent that bide fair to de-
velop into a big war before loug. Even
Englund is strengthening her navy and
making warlike preparations. France,
Germany and Russia are also training
their immense armies very carefully and
when the clash comes, if it does, it will
be a short but terrible slaughter with the
perfection arrived at in the implements
of war.
An unusual circumstance in England
just now is the oomplete blockading of
the railways in some parts of the country
with snow. Many old country people
imagine that America is a region of snow
and ice, with a few Polar bears thrown
in, but this experience may teach them a
few things concerning their own land.
Sleigh and cutter manufactories may be
a new industry established in old Eng-
land yet. Not only ou land but on sea
has the storm come and many and
serious are the knees of both life and
property in the terrible galea.
Now that nominating conventions are
the order of the day in placing Loasl
Legislature candidates in the field the
question of Provincial politics looms up
for discussion. The Toronto News makes
the annexed comment on the Conserva-
tive side of the gnestion ;—
Meredith's followers in the country are
practically unauimous in declaring in
favor of a vigorous policy on the school
question and at least three of his most
prominent supporters in the House are
in active sympathy with this feeling.
The leader of the Opposition cannot, on
the eve of a general election, occupy a
less advanced position than his following.
He must lead, not follow. Meredith will
shortly be compelled to decide between
going on and going out.
Tuaxxseivree is becoming to the Stets
and also to the individual, hence the
propriety of setting apart a day in which
to offer praise and prayer to the Giver
of all good for the mercies and blessings
of the year. While many, complain of
hard times and the closeness of money,
as Canadians we have been free from
famine, plague, internal etrife, war and
many of the evils that have fallen to the
lot of other lands. If people whined lees
and held more thanksgivings the world
would be brighter. The past harvest has
been fair ; the weather this Fall has
been the finest, and the outlook for o
good Winter's trade is not bad. The
language of a well known hymn should
be in keeping with this Thanksgiving
000asion :—
"When all Thy mercies, O my God,
Myrising soul surveys,
Transported with the view I'm lost
In wonder, love and praiee."
Tun undeveloped power and use of the
electric current is every day being turned
to account. The latest effort is to pro.
pel canal boats by it, substituting an
electric motor for the muls. A report
from Rochester, N. Y., concerning the
experiment will be of iutereet. "The first
canal boat In the world to be propelled by
electricity, by the trolley system, went
through the waders of the Erie Canal
Friday night between locks 65 and 08.
The test was entirely satisfaotory, and
did not disappoint the moat sanguine ex-
pectations of the promoters of the great
scheme for more rapid transit on the
State ditch. The boat carried about
forty men at the rate of four miles an
hour. No attempt was made to speed
her, although it fe believed a much high.
er rate can be attained. The .official test
before Gov. Flower and other State o9i-
otals wee made Saturday morning. The
Maude of the system claim that this
system will reduce the running oost of
boats fnily one•half. 'Phe motor, which
will cost about 6500, can be put in the
compartment now occupied by the mules,
and at least throe boats can be run in
one tow."
Orem of the questions that will be
brought before the next session of the
Dominion Parliament will be to matte
the Government responsible for the safe
delivery of registered lettere and parcels
or compensate the sander in case of loss.
The registration law, as many people
understand ib, is that when a letter is
registered and a certifioato received the
safety of the money is guaranteed. But
it is nothing of the Mind as about the
only good registration does is to enable
the i'oetoffine authorities to trade letters
as far as possible and if the blame oau'b
be attached to anyone the sender suffers
the whole lose. The system ehonld
either be done away with altogether or
improved, so as to protect the interests
of the public. The Government raised
the registration fee from 2 to 5 cents a
few years ago and yet offered no addition-
al eeounity, In Great Bribaiu Lite regia.
try of a letter is a contract under which
the sender is compensated in the event
of loss. The rates for registration vary,
according to the amount of money cn•
closed in the letter, the lowoat tariff be-
ing 4 cents. Tluder the English system
registered envelopes are sold, which
seems to be a better idea than selling the
stamps, The envelope is made especial-
ly strong, and all registered lettere being
uniform in shape are more conveniently
handled.
