successful test 'of peat fuel was:
]tine on the night of August. the 4th
in the furnace of the Electric Car
Company's station at Yarmouth, N. S.
This coke had been perfected largely
througlhthe agency of xaleolixl Tooth
and in the test ]Trade demonstrated its
intense heat giving powers. Ton rttin-
etes after the first supply was put in
the furnace the drafts had to be closed,
and for several hour's the pressure was
maintained at 100 ills, The heat was
intense, the peat burning with et clear
flame and giving out almost no smoke,
while the eoke practically burnt away
to fine ashes,

i`. N, Smith (Liberal) the Moss
supporter from the Soo, has been
seated, amt the evidence showed the
election to halve been the worst carx►i-
val of corruption, that ever disgraced
Ontario. Chancellor Boyd called at-
tention to the fact that whiskey and
money towed freely at Liberal head-
quarters. Yankee pluggers from the
American Soo personated voters ; in
one case $200 was paid for railway
tickets for men to vote for Smith.
Premier Ross had bodly announced he
would FIGHT and his workers used
well the weapons provided. No
wonder honest men in the Liberal
party are sick at heart, and agree
with the Conservatives that IT Is
Tuns Fort A ORANGE.
-Mr. H. J. Pettypiece, chairman of
the Railway Taxation Commission,
claims that the railways of Ontario
will have to pay $2,000,000 a year in
taxes. Mr. Nichol Kingsmill charac-
terized such a tax as absolute robbery.
* *
-The Toronto World is informed
that Hon. S. M. Gibson, Hon. E. J.
Davis and Hon. F. R. Latchford will
not be candidates at the next election,
and Hon. G. W. Ross is puzzled to find
three winners to take their places in
the sinking ship. The World adds
that a general election for Ontario is
not far off.* *

-What is probably the largest sin-
gle shipment of flour ever made from
the Dominion is that of the Ogilvie
Flour Mills Co, from Montreal to St. .
John's, Newfoundland. It consists of
65,000 hbls., and is all to be delivered
in two months. It will take seven
steamers, each Ioaded with two-thirds
flour, to carry it all.
-The North Grey • election trial was
not completed on Saturday, and was
.adjourned till Oct. 31. Much corrup-
tion was unearthed and c harges prov-
ed, but the question of agency was
not rnade sufficiently efeat' to the
judges to cause them to vacate the
seat. The rest of the charges go over
till some further date, and for the pre-
- sent, McKay retains his seat,

The Weekly Sun says :-The great
increase which bas taken place in the
total expenditure has of necessity in-
volved an addition to the burdens of
the people. The amount collected in
customs taxation in 1903 was $37,000,-
000, $17,000.000 more than seven years
before -an increase of over 80 pet cent.
The customs tax on sugar alone was
increased from $1,205,000 in 1896 to
$2,714,000 in 1903, and the duties levied
on rice were increased in the sane
time from $89,000 to $239,000. And
we might go on for column after col-
umn without exhausting the subject.

-By the adoption of sanitary mea-
: sures the mortality from tuberculosis
in France has been reduced within
Itwenty yeats by forty per Cent. In
Germany it has been lowered in the
same way by an equal percentage.
Adequate statistics for the 'United
States are not obtainable, but in New
York City since 1881 there has been a
reduction of forty per cent. in deaths
from consumption. The problem - of
getting rid of this frightful plague eau
be solved only by educating the people
and by the rigid enforcement of regu-
lations against promiscuous expec-
toration.

-A representative of the Toronto
News, who attended the Muskoka elec-
tion trial, writes: --"Personally, Mr.
Mabatffy is a popular young naafi and
his efforts to have a elean and honest
election won hint the respeet of even
political opponents who are not vio-
lent partisans. In spite of the energy
displayed in pushing the protest, not
a single ease of buying a, vote was
proved. Four eases of illegal acts
were proven, but the filen who were
guilty of them were shown to have
acted on their own responsibility. It
is plain from the evidenee adduced at
the trial, after the Liberal petitioners
had searched diligently for something
to hung a case on, that the bye -elect•
tion which took place on October 27th
last was conducted tjecently and
legitimately,*
AN AWFUL RECORD.
Never before had Ontario a Govern-
ment whose record has been so awful-
ly and completely- besmirched. Look
at a few of the blots :-
The West Elgin outrage, as shown
by the confessions of McNish, the Lib-
eral candidate -ending with the burn-
ing of the tell-tale ballots in the Par-
liament building.
The South Oxford perjury ; the ef-
fort to secure evidence "true or false"
to unseat Donald Sutherland; the re-
warding of Jackson for his part of the
plot.
The Gainey -Stratton scandal, the
failure of Stratton to meet his accuser
upon the platform, and the white-
washing of the Government by the
Commissioners.
THE WHEAT OUTLOOK.
(Weekly Sun.)
That Ontario will not this season
have more than sntilcient wheat for
her own bread is now pretty well es-
tathlislted, That the wheat trop of the
United States will be barely more
than sufficient to naet't the demands
for home consumption is within the
limit of the possibilities.
Spring wheat in the United States
was vomited on to bring lip the total
yield, but the reports of the spring
crop have been gradually growing
worse all through the litter part of the
season..
J. O. Brown, of the New York Pro-
duce 1 xchange, estimates the total
wheat crop in the United States this
year at 540,000,000 bushels or 100,000,-
000 less
00,000,-0001ess than last year, The estimate
is that the United States consumes 6
bushels of wheat per capital annually
or on the basis of the present popula-
tion, 480,000,000 bushels a year. This,
according to the present estimate of
the yield, would leave a surplus of
only 60,000,000 bushels, and that sur-
plus will, it is expected, show a still
further shrinkage before the season is
finished. It is barely possible, indeed,
that the United States exports from
this year's crop will be reduced almost
to the vanishing point.
S. McNair), ono of the best informed
grain filen in Toronto, agrees with the
view that the United States may have
little or no wheat for export this year.
Mr. McNairn also believes that the
damage by frost in the Canadian
Northwest will prove au exceedingly
serious matter. "The wheat in the
Territories," says Mr. McNair), "had
escaped rust and was consequently
the best quality of any grown beyond
the great lakes, but the frost has
caught it, and I quite expect, when
definite reports come in, it will be
found there is a shrinkage of at least
20 per cent. in the output of the Ter-
ritories, Taking everything into ac-
count, the wheat situation is exceed-
ingly strong.
North Perth, with votes at $5 each,
and the throwing up of the sponge to
avoid the exposures to follow.
North Grey with its boodle, and
Cap. Sullivan's gang of Buffalo vote -
buyers.
The Soo, with its cash for votes,
whiskey, the trip of the lliinnie M., a
boatload of Americans voting at two
places, for $2 each, free boat rides,
free train rides -this with the Attor-
ney -General being informed of the
boat's trip and object, yet taking no
action to prevent it, But worse than
all, a Bogus Bible, specially prepared,
to swear the personators on -really it
sickens one.
No wonder G. W, Ross called the
Legislature to stave off such revela-
tions as the election protests have
produced.
If G. W. Ross had the least sense of
shame, he would resign at once. Bot -
ter by far for hien to have gone down
in honorable defeat at the general
election, than to F IGHT with such
weapons to retain power for a few
months longer, and then go down un-
der the awful disgrace of recent reve-
lations.
Ontario will welcome Mr. 'Whitney
(or any other man) who will thorough-
ly cleanse the Augean stables and give
the province clean, honourable and
economical government. Thousands
of honest Liberals are hoping for a
change ; they are thoroughly sick of
such a record as the Ross outfit has
earned.
:1: r
FROM THE FARMERS.
:Mir. Macdonald of Glengarry. at the
Fatrxnexs' Association recently held in
Toronto, referred to the corruption
that is so prevalent in Ontario politics.
He said :-
"In this connection let lie call your
attention to two admissions inade in
connection w-itlh recent public investi-
gations in- Ontario. It was shown
that Sullivan, sr., had obtained for
$250 a block of timber, belonging to
the people of Ontario, which he was
able to sell directly afterwards for
$9,000. Sullivan, jr., stated again,
that any man going through the de-
partments in the Parliament buildings
• at Toronto, with his eyes open, could
find plums of similar nature lying
around Ioose. Where a :fiat obtains
a grab of that kind, without value, it
is an easy thing for him to turn over
one or two thousand for the purpose
of making up the campaign, or more
properly' speaking, the corruption
fund. We find representatives of rail-
way and other corporations continu-
ally lobbying Parlfahnent for the pur-
pose of securing subsidies or other
favors. These men also contribute to
thee campaign fund of both parties,
butt they do not give $1 to that fund
save 'where there is $10 in sight for
themselves ; and this $10 comes out
of the public treasury some form or
other. Thus it is that the people are
taxed to furnish the money which. is
used for their own defilement. The
money loss is not the worst of it.
There is. the corruption of public
morals. Pinkerton, the head of the
great American detective system, re-
• eently declared that political corrup-
tion is responsible for a, large propor-
' tion of the ordinary crime in the Unit-
ed States. He declared that from the
stuffing of it ballot box to highway
robbery was but a step. Ile pointed
out further that so long its the people
elect thieves to office, they can not
expect any better condition hi ordi-
nary society. One corrupt alderman,
he declared, would corrupt hundreds
of people in the ordinary walks of
life. Here in Canada we hound to
earth the petty thief who steals a dol-
lar, but the Bran who is a party to the
stealing of thou sands we applaud
when he are'
ppearia on the pnblle prat-
forrn, ami lord testi liox]ors. when he
buys his way roll alb ttbile °toe."
Slight Sprains Grow Worse
Unless promptly treated, The great
strength of Nerviline enables it to
quickly cure all manner of sprains and
strains. "I sprained my wrist," writes
Leonard E. Milford of Rockland,
"while working in the mill but had to
lay off, it became so painful and swell-
ed. I rubbed my wrist thoroughly
with Nerviline twice a day and put on
a bandage. The pain soon went away
and frequent rubbing with Nerviline
soon cured, Nerviline is undoubtedly
an excellent liniment• and the best pain
reliever I ever used." Nerviline cer-
tainly is extra good. Price 25c.
NOTICE. -I have arranged with the
Dominion Bank to manage my busi-
ness and all owing file on Notes or
Mortgages can pay principal or interest
at any time. After falling due, rem-
ember you need not pay until you are
requested to do so by me. I thank
all those who have done business with
me, and wish you every prosperity,
