& Editorial Note and Comment â€"BRe protests. _ That against Mr. Mutrie, Liberal member for South Wellington was dropped last week. The cross petition against Mr. Hortop, Conservative, was of course, also withâ€" drawn. â€" More of this will likely follow, the dirty linen already washed in South Ontario and Waterloo elections having caused a decided pause on the Conservative side, â€"â€"A sign of the times. â€" Mr. Lawrence Wilson, Montreal, gave a banquet in his new wine cellar last week. Mayor Prefontaine was present, and felt the necessity for anticipating criticism for his presence there by pointing out that the Lord Mayor ot London had been present at a similar function, and was afterwards knighted by Her Majesty. The Mayor, of course, thinks Quebec will give an adverse majority. â€"Hon. J. Israet Tarte, Minister of Public Works, was given a banquell last week at Valleyfiecla by the | Chamber of Cemmerce and others ufl his friends. There seems to havul been the greatest enthusiasm. _ Mr. Mulock, _ Postmaster _ General, â€" was bangqueted in Aurora about the same time. â€" Homors are giyen ungrudgingâ€" Iy to Liberal Ministers these days, and we believe they deserve it. â€"China seems to be on the eve of a reyolution, which will awaken it from the leshargy which for ages has preâ€" vented adyvancement, and made it an easy prey to its more progressive neighbor, Japan, a few years ago.. The Emperor a tew days ago received with great honor the Marguis Ito, one o" the formost of Japanese statesmen, he subsequently issued edicts requir. ing returns from his public men in the provinces which were to be published which would plainly let light in on questionable conduct. This pace has been too fast for him, for we read that he has resigned his power to the Dowager Empress, which means a check to the forward policy. _ All the same the unrest betokens great things â€"(Quebec went into ecstasies last weekâ€"and who can blarie herâ€"over the unveiling of a fine statue of Chamâ€" plain the great Canadian explorer of the early 17ith century. _ Champlain might almost be called the first Canadâ€" ian, as he was the first to develop Canada for Canada‘s sake and not as an annex to France. _ He might also be called the discoverer of what is now Ontario by his famous trip up the Ottawa river and across to Georgian Bay thence down to Lake Ontario, and home to Quebee by way of the St Lawrence. The celebration began with a procession and religious service ending up in true French style by a ball. The American warship, Marbleâ€" head, was sent to honor the festivities, British ships, of course, were in the harbor, and the President of the French Republic sent a representative, and has honored the occeasion by conferring on prominent Canadians French honors. Three most eloquent speeches were deâ€" livered by Lord Aberdeen, the French representative and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. â€"A regular carnival ot treating and eortuption took place in North Waterâ€" loo at the late eiection which is now seeing the light in the trial of the proâ€" test against Dr. Lackner M. r.F. Mr¢. Seagram M. P. is mixed up in it. and as a sample of the charges and the | rottenness we take this from a report | of the trial. _ "Charge No. 15 wasnext | eonsidered,. It stated that Mr. A & E.‘ Seagram, M. P., had paid %5 apiece tor two treats, and had refused change. Edward Petch swore that he had been at a meeting in Spahr‘s Hotel at Linâ€" wood on February 24. _ Mr. Seagram had been in the bar at Shahr‘s Hotel with about 30 other men. â€" Afterwards Mr. Seagram had treated in Friedâ€" man Hotel, buying drinks for every. body. _ Mr. Friedman bad tried to give Mr. Seagram his change, when the M. P. refused. saying be did not want any change, The witness had. seen Mr. Seagram throw down a bill in payment for the drinks, but he did not notice the denomination. C. O. Parcels corroborated Peteh‘s evidence. Mr. Friedman, the hotclâ€"keeper, then entered the box. He swore positively that Mr. Seagram hbad paid him %5 apiece fortwo rounds of drinks, and had declined to accept any change when it was offered him." _ Surely this liberality and this guzzling shoald shock the moral ser.se of all not deadâ€" ened by drink. _ Prohibition would render such a scene impossible. The determination of the Methodist Chuarch to adhbere to the prohibition of eards and dancing is another striking mol' the fact that the church has to make allowance for the t marremch o4. SmdE change which has taken place, not a little as the result of Methodist effort, in the character and manners of soâ€" ciety since the time when Wesley began to preach. _ When Wesley de: nounced cards Charles Fox had gambling debts to the amount of hbalf a million of dollars, and this was a sample of the habits of his class. That such vice prevailed more than a cen tury ago is not a good reason for forâ€" bidding peovle at the present day to relax after the day‘s work over a quiet game of whist for fiveâ€"cent points, or for nothing but the pleasure of the game. â€" Even dancing was yery likely vicious at Vauxhall in the century ; ibnt what amusement can be more | innocent than a dance under a respectâ€" 1 able roof‘? Is it not at least as innocent | as frivolous talk ? _ It is useless to exâ€" ‘I peet that the enthusiastic _ tension natural to the birth of a religious {, crusade can be artificially perpetuated | in ordinary times. _ In ordinary times | a â€" reasonable amount _ of innocent i pleasure is a moral, as well as a mental | and physical necessity ; and the atâ€" | tempt to debar us from it is not un | likelyâ€"instead of spiritual elevation â€" | to preduce viee. â€"Gold win Smith in the | Weekly Sun. WHISKEY & POLITICAL CORRUPTION. Mr. Seagram, M. P., the great horseâ€" man. is decidedly free with his money at election times as was shown at the election trial of the protest against Dr. Lackner, M. P. P., tor North Waterloo. We give a paragraph elsewhere of the trial, as specimens of the way political battles are sometimes fought. Here is a field where the country is put to expense, any amount of ill feelâ€" ing engendered and sometimes gRave injustice done by the fastâ€"becomingâ€" degraded habit of _ treating. Men *n liquor" can be bought, can be influenced to forego principle, to sacrifice behefs and yield their most sacred political right for a mess of ottage in the shape of a mug of beer. i’rohibitiun may not be near, but sure ly, the liqnuor rottenness at election trials, and we haye no hope it is all on one side, should produce before long a public opinion that will stamp the practice as infamous. _ As a sample read the following : Mr. Johnstor then proceeded with charge 26. _ Jolhn Mackie testified that he was at a meeting at Winterbourne Village in February last, at which Dr. Lackner, Mry. Seally and other gentleâ€" man were present, _ There were 30 or 40 persons at the meeting. _ After the adjournment a large proportion of the crowd went to _ Michael â€" Brohman‘s hotel. _ They entered the bar, Mr. Mackie being in the crowd Mr. Sceully paid for a round of drinks; Mr. Eden did likewise, handing to Brohman a dollar bill. _ Dr. Lackner had a drink out of Mr. Eden‘s treat.. The witness had not seen whether Mr. Eden got any change or not. _ The crowd was in the sittingâ€"reom for some time discussing politics. (George Morrell had a drink brought into the hotel parlor. ‘The witness informed Mr. Aylesworth, under crossâ€"examinâ€" ation, that he was a Liberal in politics. He had told Lawyer Haight about the incidents at Brohman‘s hotel. _ As far as he remembered everybody in the parlor had been asked to join in the rounds of drinks. _ He had not heard any body being canvassed for his vote. He would not say that he knew why Mr. Seully had bought the drinks. "I do not think he expected to get me to vote for Dr. Lackner," said Mr. Mackic, ‘"he knew I would not." Mackic, "he knew i wouid not.: "Anyhow, he could not bribe you with a glass of beer?" suggested Mr. Aylesworth. "I should think not," answered the witness, who went on to say that Messrs. Morrell and Veitch had both treated after the Winterbourne meetâ€" ing. J {The â€" Thornbury â€" Standard â€" says :â€" "Peter Brant, a descendant of the im. mortal Joseph Brant, Chief of the Six Nation Indians, accompanied by his wife. struck town last Friday on a basâ€" ket making expedition. En route Peter struck a rich and glorious haryvest of plums. The plums struck back and it was a knockâ€"out blow,. _ Peter became extremely colicky and his wife corresâ€" pondingly alarmed, Messrs. 8. E. Ryan a grocery traveller, and J. Mix, an insurance agent, who were driving past near midnight were wildly hailed and despatched for + doctor, _ The Indians were without funds and almost destitute. The groceryman generously unloaded his samples of sugar, tea, etc., and the insurance agent distributed kind words and literature showing che uncertainty of life. _ Under the treatment of Dr. Moore, Brant who is in a bad way, is coming reund,. The Brants are cousins of Dr. Oronbyatekha and _ Pauline Johnson." METHODS OF KEEPING and STORING APPLES. Well matured and nicely flayored fruits are worthy of special care in keeping torough the winter months that they may be had for desert purposes after their general season is past. _ With apglees, perfect. normal «ize truit should be selected and kept size truit should be selected and kept in as cool a place as Fossible without freezing. Large apples that are deâ€" sired to be kept particularly nice should be kept from touching each other, wrapped in separate tissue papers, or placed on trays in a moist, well ventilated cellar. For late market purposes pack tightly in barrels after the apples have shrunk, and store the barrels in a very cool place. Some solid apples like the Nortkern l Spy, Spitzenburgh, or Newton Pippin, A Descendant of the Great Brant. TORONTO â€"Â¥ 0 4 4 0 4â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" ADJOURNED SHOW FAIR. The excessive. and continued ran | (Friday Jast) having prevented East Grey Agricultural Society from judging and carrying out their large program of Speeding, trotting and other amuseâ€" ments, they have decided in order (ns‘ their motto has always been in the past) to deal strictly honorably with their numerous patrons, to hold their adjournâ€" ed Fair on their spacious and beautiful grounds at Flesherton on Tuesday Oct. lith, Weather permitting, judging of horses, manufactures and poultry, also speeding in the ring and other amuseâ€" ments will begin at 1 p, m. sharp. In addition to the large list of speeding, trotting, biecycle and "Ladies‘ Comfort §Soap race" (for which see prize list and posters) there will be an open trot, Marsh‘s "Hal Forest" barred) for a purse of $60, also a 3 iminute trot, (horses elegible who have not made a record below 3 minutes previous to lst of august last) for purse of $35,. As the track will be in prime condition, and the lisi of entries for competition (Inâ€" cluding Ladies‘ Comfort Soap race) is large and an excellent days sport may be expected, The Society will also give another of their high classconcerts, for which a large array of talent are engaged and ready, the evening of the fair. are not injured by hard freezing, it they are allowed to remain frozen until wanted, and are thawed out very gradually, but we do not recommend this plan. Many sorts, particularly Russetts and other firm varieties, keep well when pitted like potatoes. Someâ€" times however they take up a taste of earth, but this may be prevented by setting a fridgepole over the pile of apples in forked sticks, and making a rcof of boards in such a mwanner that there will be an air space over the fruit. Then cover the boards with a heavy covering of straw and a light one of earth. Pitted apples, however, seldom keep well after opening out in the spring, and should, therefore, not be opened until they are needed for use. Another method of storing apples approved by some is to cover them deepiy in dry chaff taking care that the chaff and apples are mixed throughout in layers, exercising care to fill all the interstices and cover up frostproof in a dry loc»tion. It is not usually good practice to pile up deep bins of apples on the cellar floor. Smaller, shallow bins not disâ€". turbed until their turn comes to be usad, are mach better, except they are commencing to rot, when the bad ones should be removed. This should seldom occur if care has been taken not to put in bruised or fruit of early ripening varieties, and the temperaâ€" ture is kept down below 45 degrees or, if possible at 33 degrees Fahr. We have had best satisfaction by packing such as Spies, Russets, Greenings and Baldwins in barrels late in October and leaving them in an open shed as late as possible before consigning them to the cellar. The barrels are headed up and not opened till needed in March or later. t | 7 are not â€"| 4 course 0 a »"b *J l',’. of mont! a " _ put ther P \ winter . ;| 91 |\. dition. a | AQwS$" about th FAIRWELL MILLS. beg to notify the Public that the business hereâ€" toâ€"fore conducted under the firm name of P. & G.
