The question is asked by persons who think, as we do, that it ‘would be wrong to allow him to reap the fruits of the rascalities by which his majority was obtained; but the matter is in other hands, and we do not know what decision will be arrived at. As ‘of the ll’urder the sum of $1,000 must be deposited as security for costs by the party entering the protest, and (as the Major did not point out) it is tolerany certain that, no matter how the trial resulted, the costs would have to be paid out of the deposit. If half of what We have heard be true, there has al- ready been collected plenty of evidence not only to unseat him but to disqualify him also, and it is said that there are Conservatives in the county who will gladly contribute towards the fund needed to proceed against him. The new Premier's majority is. so large that. it is not of any great consequence whether North Victoria is represented Government, and, as Mr. McLaughlin is in no particular hurry for the parlia- mentary honors he is sure of sooner or later, the entered at all, as a tribute- to the gen- eral objectionableness of Major Sam Hughes. It is no exaggeration to say that he has, from one cause or another, incurred the ill-will of a vast majority of the most respectable residents of the riding, and the thought of leaving him in quiet possession of his ill-gotten vic- tory, and of submitting to his boasting and insults,is more than they can‘bcar. We even doubt whether, if a protest be entered, Sam Hughes will show fight. except. perhaps, for the sake of making his opponents pay the costs; for he knows the quantity and quality of the him, and a seat in parliament in oppo- sition to the Government is, to a man 'of his stamp, hardly worth having. There is talk of protests in several ridings, some against Liberal and some against Conservative candidates. and it has even been said that Sir Charles Tapper intends to,enter a protest in every constituency carried by a Liberal in Nova Scotia; but the latest news from that province is that Sir Charles intends to withdraw from politics. ll] which event he will probably let others do the protesting. eggsâ€"fl... . ..--_-- A Wonderful Escape from Death. ()n the. evening of Wednesday, the swept over part of the province, and some narrdw escapes from death by drowning are recorded. A young man and woman named respectively William Darby and Jennie Thompson drifted across Lake Ontario from Toronto in a ‘skifl’, and were picked up next morning by a coal barge near Niagara, and an- other couple. George Stott and Mable Gliddon, of Port H‘opc, were unable to land on account of the pale, and at 5 o’clock next afternoon managed to reach a small rocky island opposite Briehton. But the escape that nearest approached the miraculous occurred on lake Simcoe. in which there is a large island called Strawberry Island on which a summer hotel was built full? or five years ago. About 4.30 in the afternoon, the water at that time being quite calm, a young man named George A. Mchd of Oril- lia. an employee at the hote|,.wcnt out for a row, taking with him Miss Ethel Smith, aged 16', a nurse girl. the baby daughter, 13 months old, of Mr. Wm. Patterson. and Alan, the nine year-old son of Mr. Wm. Galbraith, Jr., all from Toronto except McDufi‘. He rowed to Gofi'tat's Island, and then, without land- ing, turned to go back. but the wipd soon began to rise, and became so no lent that he saw it was impossible to R-'}r91'(¢'I’n/tlte .VorthSMr Rollerdfill Co. {reach the boac‘house he had left and headed for McInnes's Point, two miles east of the island. But before he had l gone that. distance the gale had’ grown i so furious that. he could do nothing but i bale out the water that blew into the iboat and row almost aimlessly before i the wind, and about midnight: they had I drilled to Bt-averton, nearly . miles from the Island. The Beaverton i wharf extends a considerable distance into the lake. and just as McDuff saw 1 that the frail craft. would be dashed to ipicccs against it. an immense rolling . wave lifted the boat right on top of the wharf, overturned it and swept it and ;; its living freight into the water on the loppoeite side. Almost incredible as it Ema a ar,t . ‘ hcryariigi and the young man With the l little boy clinging to him. were carried l the Major pointed out. in the last issue . by a supporter or an opponent of- thc , protest: will be» entered, if evidence that can be brought. against) ‘ 22nd insu, a heavy north-westerly gale i twenty ' by a recoil W870 so close to.tbe wharf i that they were able to climb into one of the stone cribs underneath it. where they remained until 8.30 next morning, when they were rescued by two men, whose attention was attracted by a rag pushed up through an opening between two planks in the wharf. The heroism of‘ the young girl was most remarkable. her only thought being, apparently, to save the baby, which, in consequence of her care, suffered the least of the party. The conduct of the young man throughout the whole of the trying ordeal was equally pruiseworthy, and all will agree with the Globe that “ the Royal Humane Society should see that this brave pair are recognized among the heroes of. the year." Is He Sane? Commenting, in a late issue of the Gazette, upon Major Hughes's incessant and outrageous self praise, we said it. was almost enough to raise a doubt as to .whether he was really and entirely sane, and a very few days later Dr. McKay, in a letter to the Post com- plaining of Sam’s misstatements re- garding his (the doctor’s) utterances at political meetings, said, “ It is to my mind positively inconceivable how a sane man can write what he must know, and what a hundred of his supporters must know, is without a shadow of truth.” Sam Hughes's boundless ego- tism is only equalled by his amazing disregard of veracity, and the painful exhibition of these two weaknesses upon every possible occasion certainly affords good grounds for- his friends to fear and his apologists to assert that ha is not at all times entirely compos. mentis. For cgotism he has no equal that we know of except the semi-asinine young Em- peror of Germany; for untruthfulncss there is not a living personage we know of who is to be for a moment compared to him. Of course, if it become gener- ally believed that the gallant Major really (as they say in Scotland) “lacks tippence of being a shilling.” his dc- ficiency will somewhat mitigate the severity of public censure, though it will not lessen the disagr'ccablcncss of the efict of the manifestation of his peculiarities upon the public feelings. If a man be killed by a blow upon his head with a club, it. makes no difference to him whether the club he in the hands of a philosopher or of a fool ;. and the praise of self or the abuse of others is as objectionable from the lips of a Hughes as from the lips of a Tapper. “ O, wad some power the giftie gie us to see oorscls as ithers see us "was-said by the immortal Seottish bard whose centen- nial has just been celebrated; and if Sam Hughes will breathe the same prayer, and the petition be granted, he will not be surprised to learn that Dr. McKay, we and a good many others have a painful suspicion that be is not altogether in his-right mind. The Scientific American. Our acknowledgements and greetings are due to the Scientific American, the receipt of whose handsome Anniversary Number reminds us that our esteemed contemporary has completed the first half century of its existence. It was fitting that a paper whoso range of sub- jects is so extensive should devote its semicentennial number. to a review of scientific and industrial developments during the past fifty years; and Messrs. Mnnn &. Co. are to be congratulated on the discriminating judgment with which this ambitious work has been carried out. In a review of this kind the diffi- culty is so to. select, condense, and ex- press the essential facts of the subject that the result shall be a reference book and a readable story in. one. Ln the number belore us the writers have achievedthis tc-n. marked degree; the historical interest and tholitcrary style of the articles being equally good. The illustrations appear to have been chosen with a strict regard for their historic interest, and readers will linger long over such vicwsas those-of the Ameri- can-built steamer Arctic, the fastest vessel on the Atlantic in 1852. .llorsc's pendulum instrument of 1837 and his telegraph receiver of 1844». Edison's first phonograph, the Patent ()fiicc mod- els of Howc’s and Wilson's sewing ma- chines, the first “safety” bicycle, the first McCormick reaper, the original Franklin hand press, cuts of the early lorm of the telephone and electric motor, and many another engraving of historic interest. The subjects which have necessarily been crowded out of the illustrated columns are more briefly noted in a very readable article at the commenccment of the paper; and not the least interesting feature is the ad- mirable essay on the progress of inven- tion during the past fifty years which won the $250 prize. offered by the editors. for the best essay on this out» 1“. girl with the baby in ject. The paper is handsomely enclosed in a cover which is appropriate to the nature and scope of its contents. The price of the special issue is 10 cents, undis well worth ton times-this stun.

Excuasxox Faon MILI.naooK.-- About 1.30 p. m. on Tuesday the Gran- dclla arrived at the Falls with an ex- cursion party from Millbrook, number- ing about 300. They were the children of the Episcopal and Presbyterian Sun. , day schools and their relatives, and were accompanied by the village band, which played two or three selections while they were here. The boat remained fully two hours, giving them time to view the chief attractions of the Falls, and enabling them to reach Lindsay, where a tariu awaited them, early enough to be home by a little after 6 o'clock.
