Result Of The General Election In That State--Twenty-Five Elected Legislators Pledged to The Reform, Regular readers of this journal will have noticed that we have from time to time given accounts of the pro- gress made by the improved system of voting known as proportional repre sentation, which in South Australia is known by the less cumbersome name of "Ffiective Voting." We bave now some further news, from two sources, one of them being a letter from Miss Catherine H. Spence, published in the Toronto Toiler, and the other an Ade laide periodical. Miss Spence's letter was written im- mediately after the elections for the legislative council and house of as sembly of the state of South Ansira- fia. She sends an advertisement which was widely distributed just before the elections. 14 was issued by the Ef fective voting league, and signed by (Mrs.) Jeanne F. Young, the secre tary of the league. It gives g list of mineteen candidates for the legislative council and thirty-six candidates for the house of assembly who had public Iw declared themselves in favor of the Hare-8pence system of proportional representation, These candidates the leagne urged the electors to support, because they favored a system Which would (1) give every party its fair representation and make parliament a true reflex of po pilar opinion; (2) secure the enfran chisement of tens of thousands of vo ters now totally disiranchised or in- adequately represented through voting for defeated candidates; and (3) enable the voter to study the merits instead of the chances of the candidates, and ensure him that freedom of choice without which he cannot fully realize his responsibilities as a citizen, Miss Spence has marked in her list the friends of effective voting who were successful. Nineteen of them, as above mentioned, ran for the legisla tive council, and twelve of these - wore elected. Thirty-six ran for the house of assembly, and of these thirteen were elected. (OF course the success or otherwise of these fifty-four candidates depend on several other issues in ad dition to the advocacy of the Hare Spence system. The fact that the question was so prominent an issue in the elections that more than fifty can didates publicly pledged themselves, is strong proof that it is in practical po- litics" to stay. Commenting on the result oi elections, Miss Spence writes : 'Mrs. Young and her hushand hoth consider that our chances for P. R, in the present parliament are good. They mixed with the crowds when the numbér were suck up, and heard many remarks about effective vot- ing. At the declaration of the poll for the city of Adelaide, Mr, Keogh, one of our stannchest friends, who was defeated by three votes, said that under the Hare-Spence system he would have boen elected, and that he. would like to know how many plumpers had been given. If we can gel anv figures as to plumping, they will tell fqr our cause, 4 "We have a positive majority for P. R. in the legislative council (the upper house). And even though we have not pledged a majority in the house of assembly, a good many Permanently Cured Oi Lambago. A St. Thomas Gentleman whom Dr. Pitcher"s Backache Kidney Tablets cured of Lumbago in 1899, has never had any re- turn of his old enemy. the It will no doubt be a source of sat: isfaction 10 those who are suffering from the effects of wrong-acting kid- neys, to know that Dr, Pitchers Backache Kidney Tablets, not only give prompt relief in all dases, but that they cure so effectively and thor oughly that the disease is not likely 10 return sgain--the curve is perman- ent. To illustrate the permanency of the cure they effect, we cite the case of Joseph Fitzpatrick, a man well up in years, who lives at 5 Metcalfe St. St. Thomas, Ont. Statement, 1860. "During "a recent attack of Tumba: go and kidney trouble, due to expo- sure to cold, 1 used Dr. Pitcher's Backache Kidney 'Tablets and can speak unhesitatingly of their fine qualities, They are easy in action, give relief quickly and despite my age, sixty-six years, have eompletely cured me and pot me in fine condition again, (Signed) "Joseph Fitzpatrick." Statement, 1902. "I have mover had any return of the wld trouble with back and kidneys people. are much more favorably dis posed to proportional representation than before. i "I am sorry to say that our good' . TT, snd P. R. friend, Craw- ford Vaughan, has been defeated. He ran in the district of Torrens, "where five were required and nine ran. A conservative headed the poll. with | about R800 vores, and the second | man was Conybeer, of the labor par- ty, with about four hundred votes leas. Then came Jenkins, the premier, with five himdred votes less than Conybesr; npext a conservative, with about the same number of votes as the premier; and then Tom Price, ihe leader of the labor party, the lowest of the elected ones, with about seven | thousand votes. Crawford Vaughan came next, with 6.300 votes, the highest of the defeated four. We think he made a very good run for his first attempt in the state elections." From the other source referred to we guote the following : "It will be seen that, although not elected, Mr. Vaughan polled maghnifi- cently against tremendous odds. The vote accorded to him is nearly twice that given to him in the fedgral con test in the same district; afd had the election been confined to the old electorate of East Torrens, where Mr. Vaughan is best known, he would have. been elected by twenty-eight votes. The strength of Mr. Vaughan's sup- port is shown by the fact that he beat the mayor of Unley, a deserved. ly poplar man, by nearly a thousand votes, "Premier Jenking would have been badly defeated if it had not been for the votes given to him by supporters of the leader of the opposition. The Yremier, therefore, owes hig return to his opponents, and a little quiet re flection upon this fact may induce him to give a whole.hearted support to effective voting, and to save his poli tical skin. The labor party have heen wholly converted to that reform by these elections, for in the present par liament they are, with other liberals, grossly under represented." ------ A LIFELESS ORB. -- Tremendous Volcanic Convulsions Of The Moon. Bv._ a Banker. The recent terrible outburst of vol canic energy in the West Indies has brought forcibly to our notice the prodigious forces which are ever at work in the interior of our earth, which, were it not for the existence of these safety valves, would probably, from time to time, shatter a section of its thin crust in the tremendous ef- fort to break loose. But our 'beautiful satellite, the moon, has been the scene of far more violent and tremendous volcanic con vulsions than ever this earth has ex- pevienced. The entire hemisphere, which alone has ever been seen from the earth, is torn ana rent by in numerable chasms, extinct volcanoes of gigantic dimensions, and moun tains and lofty barricades of lava. The eraters of our most important volcanoes do not exceed three or four miles in diameter; those of the moon, however, are vastly more extensive. The diameter of the crater of Mount Copernicus is fifty-six miles; of Tycho fifty-four miles; while that of Mount Prolemy is no less than 114 miles, with a circumference of 343 miles. And the depth of these walled eraters is so great that Mount Blanc itself, if drop- ped inte one of them, would be gn in significant hill, and its summit would be many thousand feet beneath ths top of the almost perpendicular lava wall surrounding the great crater. As more than 42,000 of these extinct voleanoes have been counted---and . bably that side of the moon whic for ever hioden from our view is simi- lar in chargcter--our sateflife muse indeed have been a seene of wild fury wher all these fiery hypocausts were belching forth 'sheets of flame, and in candescent rocks and Java. H a cra tor, like Mount = Pelee, two or three wiles in diameter, when in action, is such an awe-inspiring spectacle, what must have been the scene when for in- stance Mount Schickard, the crater of which is about 400 miles in circun- ference, was in full eruption. Ten thousand square miles of mighty flames, 4 blazing cyclone of roaring fires sweeping round the stlipendous glowing caldron; now flashing perhaps a hundred miles upwards to the mid night sky; now great tongues and forks of vivid burping gases wildly is suing forth and mingling with the fires of hundreds of other burning mountains--a world on fire. And #0 until the end; every drop of water, every vestige of air, resolved by the intense heat into their consti- tuent gases, burnt up and lost in the aether; every trace of life destroyed, consumed in the ardent fiery furnace, which ever raged until its fury was exhausted, until at length its last quivering pulsations flickered out, and all was quenched and afill. And now she is dead. But though drear and lifeless, vet beautiful in wenth; perbaps, to us, fairer and mare lovely than when thrabbing with life, and rent with the convulsions of con theting elements. Sic tur ad astra.

Aden, July 11.~Word was received that William wh as HE EARLY TOOK TO THE RAG. ING WAVES. And Was a Captain Before He Was Eighteen Years Of Age-- He Was An Owner Of Many Of The Bay Steamers. Napanee Reaver. Lewis M. Collier, was born in New York state, May 4th, 1831, His par ents were Canadians, having moved to the state some two years previously. When he was four years of age the family returned to the native land, settling in Prince Fdward at South Bay. As a lad of fourteen he took his first trip in the capacity of sailor. Being imbued with the unconquerable love of the water and seeing the pos sibilities of success financially, in navi gation, he decided to work for a high- er position, Patient industry, careful attention and good habits soon brought reward and he became a cap tain--~a master mariner--before he was eighteen, In the employ of the Davy Co., of Bath, he was placed on several vos sols at different times. On one of these, the W. H. Davy, he was taking a cargo of+coal and grindstones from Cleveland to Goderich, when econtinu- ous stormy weather brought on a rapid leak. The pumps were manmed and all worked for life. A small island in Lake Erie was almost réached when down went the ship, leaving the mast heads above water. Here the crew clung in danger and hardship for two days until a tug rescued thom. William Bowman, miller at Newburgh, was a fellow sufferer in this hardship and now remains, the sole survivor. is happened the same night the Lady El gin with 300 passengers was lost. Captain Collier becoming owner of the Ploughboy and more prosperous than hig two brothers, came to the relief of the aged parents and moved all to Camden, in Wesley neighbor hood. After a short time there a transfer of Thomsonville was made and a farm purchased. The sisters married Jacob Baker apd William B Switzer and left the homestead. Lew is, when thirty years old, brought to the new howe his wife Henrietta Far rington, of South Bay. The sailor now settled down and went at the farm himseli. But he found it 'an unpleasant change, and after one year was back to his ship. He became part owner of a steam- boat, City of Belleville, and then pur chased the Norfolk. The latter boat burned in Napanee river near Light's dock, and the loss nearly wiped out his careful savings of many years as well as part of his farm. It was a hard blow, especially as the origin of the fire appeared incendiary, Undaunt- ed he was at it again and at length owned the steamer Flight, plying be- tween Pieton and Napanee. This boat he sold and entered the employ of the Rathbun company, as captain of The Pilgrim for one year only. The Reindeer he had built in 1883 and 1884, according to his own ideas. The success was pronounced, the ship builder grudgingly saying that after all his objections i% was the best boat for speed and comfort ever turned out of Kingston yards. No boat on the bay but saw with regret the stern of the Reindeer in a race. By his first mariage seven children were born. Only the three youngest of these passed the bounds of childhood and they now survive: him. They are Wesley H., electrical engineer, of Pet erhoro: Herbert B., druggist, of New burgh, and Nellie, of Napanee Five years ago he married Mrs. Mary Wel banks, Milford, who also survives him. His illncss began Sunday, June 29ndl., while at Prinyer"s Cove Indi cations showed appendicitis and gen eral peritonitis, Favorable symptoms appeared for a couple of days. hunt a general collapse followed and the sad end came June 30th. The funeral took place July 2nd., the services heing held in the Western Methodist church, conducted by Rev, Bartiett and Rev Farnsworth. The burial was in charge of the Odd fellows, beautiful and unpressive. BABY"S OWN TABLETS. 1 Positive Cure For Hot Weather Ailments.
