THE GENERAL ELECTIONS. __.. On the al’terux-on of Thursday of last week the ninth Parliament of Canada was formally dissolved, and the writs for the general elections were issued as soon as porslblo thereafter. Nomina- tions of candidates for the new House will be reccchd on Thursday, October 27th, and the polling will take place a week latet'â€"â€"'.l‘llni'sday, November 3rd. Of the result, as far as the fate of the Laurier Government is concerned, there is not a shadow of a doubt. The com- position of the House of Commons, at the time of its dissolution last week, was as follows : Liberals 129. Conserv- atives 77, Independents 4. Vacants 4 ;, so that, giving the Oppnsition all but the straight Liberal votes, the Govern- mentstill had a majority of 44; and the great and'growing popularity of the Lauricr Administration makes Liberals will be returned to power with a major- ity greater than ever. How the election in this consrituency will “ cvoutuatc " with any degree of certainty. The fight. will be between Col. Stun Hughes and Mali. J. McLaughlin, of Lindsay, the latter of whom will be chosen Liberal candidate atthc convention to be held in Lindsay on Tuesday next. In North Victoria. in 1896, Sam Hughes beat Mr. McLaughlin by a majority of 251 ; in 1900 he beat Dr. McKay by a major ity of 106; and a similar falling off at the coming election would result in his defeat. The decline in the Conservaâ€" tive vote was partly owmg to the grow- lwas emplnyed to do Uh3 work. ' ceedcd in spraying the whole number . ing popularity of thc Laurior Govern ment, which, in 1896, had been in pow- er only f'our years, and partly to the growing unpopulnrity of Col. Sam, who would undoubtedly have been defeated but for the halo of glory he had acquir- cdâ€"ot‘ said he had acquiredâ€"4n Scull h Africa. Since than the history of the South African war hasbecn written and printed, and Sam liughcs’s alleged he- roic feats arc/not recorded therein ; thc 'Lauricr Government has been eight years in power, and is thought more of than over; and Sam Hughes has alien- ated the affections of so many promincn! and influential Conservatives that his defeat on the 3rd of Novomber is more than probable. The Government is ab- ,solutely safc,,no matter. how the election 'in this constituency may go; and, thoro- forc, the many Conservatives in it who think that Col. Hughes ought to be re]- egated to private life may help to role gate him, without doing their party, as 7a whole, the least- bit of‘ harm: With reference to the Premier the Globe says: “Sir Wilfrid Laurier makes no claim to perfection either in the legislation his government has enacted or in the .public services rendered under his ad‘ ministration. There may have been mistakes in judgment and defects in administration, as there are in all other affairs, and never in any other country, was there a term of eight- ycars of such continuous and rapid industrial devel- opment, accompanied by such freedom from grave administrative. scandal and such steady integrity in public life, as have marked the two Parliaments of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's. leadership. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, stands for what is best in the life and worthiest in the pros- pects of the larger Canada. By his stutesmnnship he has brought into har- mony the contending interests, the wide- :ly-scparated sections, and the rival races of this Dominion. When he assumed control of the. Govornmcut in 1896; there was strife between class and class, jealousy between race and race, and distrust between creedand creed. To- day there is mutual respect and a grow-- ing confidence, and all classes and races and creeds are alike devoted to the higher ideals of Canadian manhood. To have done so much as that is to have earned a first place in the service of‘one’s country. And-that Sir Wilfrid Lnuricr has done. On the record of his eight years of leadership he makes his appeal to all the. people of: all the Provinces. The campaign will be brief, and need not be bit-tor. The root of bitterness has been- removed. and the discussion of the great quostionsof pol- icy and administration necdtinvolve no personal rccriminatibn or party slander. Fortunatelyzthc leaders of both parties are gentlemen of high ideals ‘and un- stnincl personal honor. It is due to -tl10m,_all(‘l to the country that men of. like character be chosen as candidates and elected to Parliament. That Sir Wilfrid Lanrier’s leadership will be en- dorsed, and. his government sustained by. asufii‘cicu‘t majority, willbe the al- most ccrtai-n. issue of the campaign. Foothc sake of, the past eight years, and io-v-icw of the interests at stake in the years to come, the electors, on Nov._ 3rd. will vote for, Laurier and the larger Canadal” '».u‘x.r..:.«o' ansâ€"“w”... mi: " ay- ..~ “mm d The Fencln ’ Gaettc. ’ But this can be' . -â€"~_“.â€" I ~---. . .__._..â€"â€" ...â€" . Wy-hould CanadaArm ? . In an article under the above head- ing, the Chicago Daily Tribune very sensibly says : “ Sihcc the only kind of quarrel in which Canada is all likely to need to fight is one in which she would have neither interest nor honor at stake, it is hardly credible that her people will com- ply wlth Lord Dundcnald’s request that they burden themselves with a standing army larger thanvthat cf‘ the United States. Canada is not only free but safe, as few other countries are. The only neighbor that could effectively at- tack her entertains no such idea, and never will entertain it unless forced by Great Britain to do so. From Euro- pean attack she is guarded not only by by the Monroe Doctrine of the United States. She has Only to keep out of England’s European quarrels to be en- tirely urmolested. In view of these self evident and notorious facts, why should Canada waste the money and the time of llcl‘ citizens on armaments? Why should Canada arm ? ” W ’ The artist"stain... On Sept. 2lst the farmers in the vicinf ity of Ingersoll, Ont., assembled to the number of 75 or 80 to inspect the work done by the power spraying outfit mun- agcd in that vicinity by the Dominion Fruit Division. The object of the dem- onstration was to show that spraying might profitably be done as threshing is usually done in Western Ontario. one man taking the contract for doing the Work ofu large number of his neighbors A; circuit embracing 3300 [recs was contracted for, and Mr. J. C. Harris lie sue of trees four times with one outfit at a cost of something less than 20 cents a tree. The apples in the .nusprnycd ’orchards in that district are so scubby as to be practically worthless. To: contrast between the sprayed and tho unvpraycd fruit is therefore very} in uk- 'ed. The audience assembled at one o’clock at. the orchard of .llr. J. 0. Nos worthy and inspected very curnfully a large number of trees, counting and grading the apples. Some unsprnyed orchards were visited and again some sprayed orchards, until six or sovUn had been inspected. The results may be sulnmed'up as follows. In the sprayed ‘orchards 90 per cent. of the fruit would grudc No. 1. _whilc in tho unsprnyed orchards not more than 15 per cent. would grade N.) 1. In some cases only 10 per cent. of first~class fruit was found, and on some in ca itwas difficult '-to discover a perfect apple. The cost of" spraying was about 20 cents per tree or 10 cents per barrel. and it is a fair estimate to say thal for every 20 cents expended in spraying thorn was an in- creased Value of about $31 00. “Fifi-w-“ Flcwer,il=ruil‘antl Honey Show. A. novel method of advertisingr the Provincial Fruit, Flower and Honey Show, which will be held in Toronto, November 1519, has been devised. The Fruit Growers and Florists interested have decided to give apples and flowers free to every person who attends the ex: hibition on two-(laysof' the show. It is expected that: this.w~ill‘ greatly increase the attendance, and add greatly to the interest taken in the exhibition. The Fruit Growers,__with the idea of increa -. ing tho~demand for fruit, are arranging to distribute, free of cost, neatly gotten up booklets containing numerous re- ceipts f'oruthe cooking, preserving etc. of all varieties of'fruit, such as apples, pears, ‘pcachcs. plums and grapes. Much the same line of work is being followed by the Bee Keepers. Everything pos‘ sible is being doueto make the show of, 'ns great educational value as possible. It is expected-it wilL be .a strong rival, in its way, tothe big Winter Fair at Guelph. Millinery.-. ‘. The annual fall mili’incry opening at Mr..\Vm.
