THE public should be reminded that
the deadly car stove'' season is at
hand, which has 50 frequently caused
such terrible disasters. and should de-
mand legislation for the protection of
the travelling public. New York has a
law which requires the railroads ira
versing that state to provide their cars
with means Of heating by steam on or
before November LIST, but most Of the
companies have filed petitions for an
extension Of time, claiming that they
have been unable to secure the neces-
sary apparatus. This law should be
enforced, as several OF the roads are
ready with the appliances prescribed
by law, and have thus demonstrated
the feasibility of providing that means
of heating. A similar law should be
enacted in other states and receive the
serious attention of our legislatures
throughout the country this winter.

THAT the democrats have lost all
hope of carrying Indiana Is shown by
the statement Of Committeeman Rich
ardson Of the first district, who said
that the people there ''dO not seem
to be greatly interested in the cam
paign." That is not the talk of a
Democrat who feels enthusiastic over
the prospect; but he makes the case
stronger against his side by adding,
'sThe republicans think they are going
to make gains, but the democrats have
no fear Of losing many votes" But
perhaps the discovery Of a league
In Indianapolis of citizens of ali Politi-

rho Annsxation Ousstion.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 6.-Mr. SheI-
mans statement on the relations of the
United States with Canada is accepted
by statesmen and public men generally,
irrespective of party throughout the
Dominion, as an intimation that lead
ing republicans have decided that Can
ada must be annexed or fight for her
independent national existence. 1t is
expected that annexation clubs will be
started shortly throughout Ontario,
Quebec and the maratime provinces.
Leading imperial federation managers
have resolved to push the immediate
extension of the league to fight the an
nexatiOnists. The question of annexa-
tion is coming rapidly to the front and
showing out of sight the question of a
commercial union and an unrestricted
reciprocity. An annexation campaign
this fall, in preparation for the meet
ing of parliament in January, is now
considered inevitable.

the Two Latter.
CHICAGO. Oct. 6.-Mallory 8 Son.
one Of the leading hog receiving COM
mission firms, nave issued their annual
crop report on hogs. cattIs and corn, in
which they say
Although we will have an immense
corn crop there viii be q shortage on
old hogs which are always shipped dur
ing what is known as the tEpacking
season." The reports denote that the
bulk of the supply OF the packing hogs
VIII shipped to market later than usu-
al, at least one month or six weeks.
where one year ago reports showed that
the bulk OF the hogs would come to
market in November, December and
January and later. The cause Of this
scarcity of packing is due to two fea-
tures-that farmers all through the
west lost a large per centage of their
spring hogs through cold, wet weather,
sickness, etc.. and that those
which were saved, together with older
hogs have been forced to market on ae-
count of high prices of corn at home,
and high prices which have been paid
for hogs during the last three months.
The late pigs will not begin to come
forward till the latter part of January
and the bulk of them will not reach the
market till late in the spring and sum-
mer.
! The number of cattle to be fattened
shows an increase of fully ten per cent.
l We should have extra good beef at
reasonably low prices during the COM
| ing year.
| The crop of corn speaks for itself
| and needs no comment. Dakota shows
full crop Of old hogs and pigs; Mich
igan shows full crop of pigs. Leay-
| ing out Dakota and Michigan, the bal
ance of the list shows a total shortage
of old hogs of twenty-four per cent and
on shoats of about liz per cent. Iowa
and Illinois together show decrease
of 254 per cent on old hogs and 12i pei
| cent on shoats. The percentages are
made from most reliable reports re
ceived from 346 counties, embracing
the hog producing territory in the
states of Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wis
consin. Kansas, Missouri, Indiana
