The Evening Post of Monday last, in an article under the above heading, says : “ We had hoped to escape the neces- sity of noticing the unfortunate arrange. l ment whereby several election protests were sown off, but so many communica- tions have been received, (some of: them blaming Mr. Barron), the press else- where baving referred to the circum- stances, and the Warder having made it the occasion to launch an attack upon local Liberals, that the Post must have something to say. To state that the party in North Victoria. is indignant is to put it mildly. They were assured that a protest would be entered against Mr. Hughes, and they rested easy. Never before in any election.in,.North Victoria has there been such an aggra- vated condition of things. works of Canada were turned into a mill for grinding out votes for Mr. Hughes, and, if half we-hear be true,,the matter must be investigated by a. par- liamentary committee. and with nothing short of this will an indignant people be content. Mr. Hughes states that had there been a petition filedagainst. him. he would‘ have filed one against Mr. McHugh and Mr. McLaughlin, and that he could have disqualified both of them. Silly trash! Every one knows, could this be done, Mr. Hughes would have done it, but the utter abandon of Mr. Hughes to all sense of character is shown by his own admission that in consideration- of-‘hisbeing lelt alone he would help crime to go unpunished." As the Post says, and as we remarked last week, the dropping, at the eleventh hour, of. the expected and alumstprorm ised protest against Sam ilughcs's elec- tion has excited a great deal of indigna- tion throughout the riding, as there is agcueral feeling that there would have been no trouble about getting rid of him and having North Victoria represented by a Liberal in the new Parliament. It is true, as the Toronto Telegram states. that “the Dominion election law has been changed until it is anything but easy to unsenta member elected‘by even a small majority,” but that is the very reason why there should have been no compromise. There may possibly have been some few slight violations of the law by enthusiastic unofficial supporters of Mr. McHugh and Mr. McDaughlin, but certainly not enough to materially affect the voting; while the canvass on behalf of Sam Hughes was so reeking with corruption from beginning to end that he would have been unseated even had his majority been far greater~ than what it was. As the Dominica election law has thus been set at defiance by an unjustifiable “ saw-off.” it is to be hoped that the Post’s hint of a Parliamentary investigationwwill be acted upon. H Howry Sons.- We are glad to be able to state that there is no longer any of the continuance of- Howry & Son's business in .this village, an arrangement having been come to with their various creditors; and as the firm’s assets greatly exceed their liabilities, itis to be hoped that. the embarrassment will only be temporary. crisis. no doubt, by the great fire on June 19th, was mainly owing to the depression of the, lumber trade, which has resulted in the recent failure of four ofthe largest firms in that line in the United States. One way or another Howrydr Sons have had hard luck since coming to the Falls, their sales of matched lumber to customers in the States having been practically killed by the import duty of 25 per cent. put on in August, 1895. which proved almost prohibitorv, and they are now fighting a case in the Vernmnt courts. Lumber dressed on one or both sides goes free ; but If it be tongued and grooved. or even planed on the edges, it is called “ manufactured " lumber, and is taxed 25 per cent... though box stuff. which is l cut. into lengths and planed on both isides and. edges, all ready to nail to- gether. is only subject to a duty of 20 , per cent. Some time ago a consignment l of lumber sent. to the state of Vermont l was seized as “ manufactured " lum- | ber. although the edges were rough. l Howry d: Sons resisted ; the appraisers i decided in favor of the customs officials; the Circuit Court reversed the decision of the appraisers; and the Gowrnmcnt. ' as a last resort, tool: it to the Court of Appeal. the decision of which has not . yet been given. On account of the duty lmany orders have been declined, and 5 prices are so depressed that a million of lfirst-class shingles, to be shipped to a l Rochester firm, are worth 8500 lass ' than they were this time last. year. Howry &. Sons have just sold the whole of this and next year’s cut of lumber to â€"â€"~_ The public~ doubt whatever The trouble, brought to a. mill will be run full blast, night and day, as the purchasers want about 35.- 000.000 feet, and there are now only about 6,000,000 feet piled up in the yard. Death of Mrs. John D. Smith. The many readers of the Gazette who were acquainted with Mrs. John D. Smith will regret to hear of her death. which took place at the family residence in Port Hope last Sunday afternoon. She had been ill for several months with a rheumatic or sciatic affection that caused terrible pains in her back, and at 8.30 a. m. on Monday, the 3rd inst., received what proved to be a fatal stroke of'apoplexy. She luy almost totally unconscious until about 3p. m. on Sun- day. when she passed quietly away, while St John’s church bell. which rang at her wedding about 33 years ago, was ringing for the children to go to Sunday school. Deceased was a woman of fine presence. unusual abilitiesmud many estimable qualities,nnd both in Fcnelon Falls, where she resided for many years, and in Port Hope, her kindly disposi: tion and unaffected demeanor made her deservedly popular with all classes- She leaves. a husband,x three sons and one daughter to mourn her comparatively early death, as she had not completed her 53rd year. Her funeral. which took place at 2_.30.on Tuesday afternoon, was private, but~amongst the few not related to her who attended wi-re Mrs. Dickson, Mrs. Fraser and M r. William Campbell of Fcnelon Falls. m The Dangers of Choosing. In view of the distressing number of accidents that occur every summer, many of which are occasioned.by the upsetting of skill} and canoes, we giadl'y transfer to our columns the following letter recently sent to the “all and Em- 'pire by Mr. E‘ 13; Edwards of"F'ctcr- borough, whose. simple and inexpensive device ought to be given the widest possible publicity. and will. if generally adopted, under drowning accidents far less frequentthan they now unfortu‘, nutely arc:â€" Sir,â€"â€"I notice in your paper it re- pOrt of a canoe being found floating in the lake bottom upward. Whether this indicates that a, serious accident has happened or not, I' think it! proper, especially when so many people are eu- joying their holiday upon the lakes and rivers, to call attention to the fact that in a very simple way a canoe may be made practically a, life preserver, find one of the safest of small boats. This may be done by putting-acme“ air tank or box under each of the deck ends of the canoe. These air tanks may be made of tin or zinc, or of a light frame- workol wood coveredwith painted con- vas fitting the shape of thocanoc. As the tin or zinc produces an explosive sound when the air within contracts or expands with the variation of tempera- ture, many‘people prefer the canvas tantra. tanks for ten years in an open canoe 16 feet by 30 inches, and have tested their usefulnessin every way. Iliad three fullâ€"grown men upset the canoe when swimming. filling itwith water, and then all three got into it, the two lying down with their- heads supported upon a thwart, some to displace as large an amount of: water. as possible, and the third paddled the canoe about without any. greater difficulty than was occa- sicned'by-the weight of water curried. In sailing Elnavc had the canoe full up to the.-gunwales in u very severe storm, and still float right side up, carrying her.crew.aud sail. I~have had the some canoe carry two people and slot. of camp staff through a rapid which was come upon unexpectedly, floating right. side up, although owing to the heavy load the canoe was entirely beneath the sur- face of the water after passing the first heavy fall. The shape of the air tanks â€"widcr at the top than the bottomâ€"- tends to keep the Canoe right side up when lull of water. So strongly am I impressed with the neccs~ity and useful- ness of having these tanks in a canoe that I would be glad to see a law enact- ed that no person should let a canoe for hire without being provided with air tanks. The expense of gettingthcm is but trifling. There is no patent on them. They are light and take up very little space. Let. me urge strongly upon all those who are going camping or who use a canoe in any way the necessity of putting these air tanks in their canoes. It is fortunate that. there are so few drowning accidents in comparison with the large number ofinexpericuced per- sons using canoes every summer, but whether a person be experienced or in- experienced, it seems to me that no one should neglect this simple means of making the canoe practically a life preserver.
