The people are so well satisfied with liberal rule that they do not, general ly, ask for de tails. Liberals hear oe- cusionally from their opponents, and they hear it said that the government is very extravagant, ls it? Comparisons are odious, it is said, and they are whén they show against a person. When twenty odd yelrs ago, the Mackenzie government was in power, it was contended that it was spending too much money, when the expenditure was only $23, 500,000 per annum. -The great de seession, in the country and the pro- mise of good times under the nation al policy, brought the conservatives into power, aml they failed to t-ench; on thes contrary the annual expenditure jumped over a million in a year, and in the last year of the con- servatives' fires parliamentary erm it was $27,000,000. They got new leases of power, under varivus pretences and they abused their, trust, repudiated their promises, and went on spending money until in the Jast year of their reign they had got rid of $38,000,000, and contemplated a still further in crease of two or three millions of 'dol up re lars. t Still, as the finance minister, Hon. Mr. Fielding, had occasidn to point out in one of his addresses, the con- servatives did' very little to promote trade, wheroas the liberals were active: ly at work and in the last five years, through compeiont ministers, have de- veloped the commerce immensely. In the whole cightvou years of the con- servative government, the increase of the 'total trade was $64,000,000, where as in three years of the liberal gov- 'wrninent the increase was $82,000 000, and the increase vince 'has heen even greater. 'Is there any man in the do minion of Canada," usked Hon, Mr. Fielcing; the finanee minister, "who supposes that a country in creasing its trade at this rate can carry on its business without any increase in the public ex. penditure ? Ii a merchant's business is increasing he must have some in- crease in his expenditure; that is in evital}é, Ii Ke can carry on thé busi ness and his expenditure only keeps pace with the growth of his business he does not consider that a failure," Would the electors like to go back to the conditions which existed in 1806 7 Surely not.

A CALL FOR GRATITUDE Fhe eheetors inthe contest for the which is in progrew nsust that portance than the endorsement of COMO as ow remember of" greater im a candidate is the endorsement of the policy which be: represents. The liberal government at Ottawa is entitled 'th 'the thanks and gratitude of the people. It may not be able to although when. the they good make times g conservatives were In with power claimed Providence a share in this responsibility --but it may help on the conditions towards good times. It has been asserted, without any attempt at proof, thst the lilerals have been only building upon founddtions laid by the conservative party. In order that the fallacy of this contention may be made apparent it is necessary to look back for a mo gov was ment, In 1596, when the Tupper ernment was defented, business then practically stagnated, and there was a steady exodus of the cream of our population to the United States; the domestic peace of the country was seriously threatened by an ill advised of the provinces; the then government was corrupt and incapable, and the members of it wers at war among themselves; there was even a 'nest of traitors" in the queen's privy coun il; the administration wheels clogged and the government was sim ply marking time; the corrupt methods that were revealed in the large spend- ing departments had thrown a dark cloud over the future of the country, and preindicially affected Canada's standing' in the eyes of the world. All these untoward circumstances to make the business populace: feel un- easy and gloomy. The picture is a dark one, but it is not overdrawn. The darkest pages in Canada's history were recorded dpr- ing the closing years of the conserva- were tended tive regime. The task set before the liberal gov- ernment was, under such circum- stances, by no means an casy one. To restore order from practical chdds; to set the wheels of progress and develop ment in motion; to clean out the Augean stable; to stop the exodus and restore confidence in the country, re quired wisdom, great business exper: jence, ahility and courage. Happily for Canada her administrators were possessed of the requisite quali- fications, and their efforts were highly successful, as is evidenced by the con dition of the country to-day, and dur ing the past five years. And it did not take the government jong to get into action. For eighteen years - the conservatives were waiting for a change, and doing nothing; in five years, under liberal direction, the wheels of progress have been whirling, and Canada has never enjoyed so large a measure of prosperity. Are you hot thankful, electors? 1i-so express it on the 15th by endorsing the government. rn -- EDITORIAL VIEWS.

Y., From a Terrible Fate--Was 'Near to The Fearful Brink. John Flannigun, a former Kings tonian, now residing at Niagara Fails, N.Y., returned that place on Sa turday lgst after visiting his rela tives in this city for a short time On the Monday following his return he assisted in rescuing a man who was being swept down the river by {the swift current, and who came very near planging. over the falls to cer tain death. The Niagara Falls Ga- zette. containg the following interest ing account of the miraculous vseape Frederick Trusdale, the man who as sisted Mrs. Apmie Edson Taylor in her trip over the falls ia a barrel, came dangerously near going over the brink of the awful cataract himself this morning. And, strange to say, William Holloran, the man who as sisted Trusdale in starting Mrs. Tay lor on her memordble voyage, was one of the rescuers of Trusdale this morn ing. It was one of the narrowest es capes recorded on the upper river Trusdale bimgeli, an old river man and well acquainted with the treach erous currents of the stream, had giv en up hope of rescue, and Trusdale | had resigned himseli to his fate when succor came. At five o'clock this morning Trus dale got into a little clinker boat and went out en the river to bag some ducks. He went directly out from Port Day, and his chase after the fea- thered game led him a long distance i from the shore. Port Day is. but 'a { very short distance above the danger line, and only the boldest rivermen care venture out in the water at that point. 'The ice floes were lv thick, but Trusdale thought he could avoid them. He had bagged several ancks and was about to set out for shore when a tremendous ice floe came along and surrounded his little boat. Trusdale worked with his oars and tugged. and pulled to free himself, but to no avail. The jam, with the boat in the. centre, kept floating down the river, and with fear and trembling Trusdale no ticed (hat he was getting dangeron ly near the line of breakers which marks the beginning of the American rapids. He renewéd his to running unusual efforts and pulled and pushed with the stréngth of a desperate man fighting against al most certain death. But it was of no avail. He was locked securely in the jee floe, and the only chance of pet ting loose seemed to be by the plunge over the falls to certain death, It about eight o'clock that Trusdale found himself in this awful predicament. Just as his boat was being carried into the breakers, peo ple on shore at Port Day sighted the boat and saw that the occupant was {in distress, William Holloran, a com | panion of Trusdale, and one of the {men who assisted Mrs. Taylor on her trip, wns among those on shore to sight the boat, and he immediately get about to effect a resoue. To gether with George Downey and John Flannigan he secured a long rope and ran_down the river to Willow island. Here the three men crossed out onto an outer reef of rock and waited for Trusdale to float near them. The hoat and its occupant came tossing own in the rapids. Trusdale saw the men on the reef and waved to them. They, in turn, shouted words of en couragement, and' Trusdale reaoubled bis efforts to force the boat toward the head of the island, where the res cuers stood. When he reached a point opposite them he was still some dis tance ort in the stream, and he gave himself up for lost. "It's all up with me, boys," he shouted. "I'm a goner this timed [olloran called back to him to make ready to catch the line, and with a mighty swing he sent the coil of rope the- rapids toward the hoat. His aim was true, and the line jell within reach of Truscale, who grabbed it and tied the end about his waist. By their united strength, Holloran, Downey and Flannigan sueceeced in pulling Trusdale over the +o shore. He dropped into their arms in an unconscious condition. The hoat, with its contents, sisting of a fine fowling piece, clothing and a number of ducks, wer: swept over the American falls, Trusdale was taken to his home on Pufialo avenue, where he was wrap ped in hlankets and stimulants given. In about an hour's time he had fully recovered from the shock ant expos ure and was able to be about. The Opening Night. F. C.
