THE BY-ELECTIONS.
The elections to fill seven constitnencies,in'
the Local House came off on Wednesdiiy last,
and,resulte4)u the return.of five supporters
• off Mr:'1VIOsil'at'''Jiii!iT one independent; who
adopts the Rivers and Streams bill policy and
favors the settlement of the boundary goes
tibia, and one for the Opposition. The govern -
,anent carried Soutli Essex and Glengarry, for-
merly represented by the Opposition, so that
they gained two seats by the election; The
Conservatives' had anticipated an altogether;
different result having•putforth a. desperate'
effort to winsome of the constitbe cies, and
now their only consolation is. that " the coun-
try at large is with them," and all the satis-
faction that they eau draw from this election.
no one Will 'begrudge them.- Qne thing is,
morally certain=wben the general election
for the Local comes on, it will be found that
the Mowat administratian has lost none of its
popularity, and that the people are with them
in their endeavor to administer the affairs of
Ontario iu an honest, economical .saitcl straight-
forward manner.;
THE CONsEnvATIVLI'1[Ul'Y AND
THE cHOOE.S ;AGT.
One of the worst blunders committed by
the 'Conservatives c£ Ontario. lately, was the
raising,for party purge
es, of cryagainst-the
Crooks Act. Every intelligent Oran will ad-
mit that any -legal measure restricting the
iise of alcholic liquors, no matter bow imper-
fect
in detail that measure maybe, will have
a tendency to reduce the amount of;;liquor'
consumed. People'may have violated the
law, as they do almost every other, but it,
neverthelesr, operates to .3 greater or less
extent in the direction it was 'intended it.
should. Every observaut'person can most
assuredly bear testimony to the fact that the
present License ;System is a decided improve-
ment of the:one"it snperceded, then under
the control of :the municipalities..
The blunder perpetrated :by"the Cinserva-
tive party was in committing themselves to a
course which the thoughtful and conscious
Cone men of both parties could not endorse',.
These persons knew the evils of an almost'
unrestricted liquor traffic, and some' of "these,'
of their own shade of politica, were notlslow'
in;•showing ,their disapproval of • the -line of
conduct their party leaders pursued. That.
the public were not with the Conservatives -in
their line and cry against the Crooks Act, is
now evident to the most obtuse, and while
there may have been some temperance Con-
servatives, whose; vote and influence were
given to their party in the late elections, we
have reason to believe that not a fewshowed:•;
their disapproval of party tactics, by either
not voting or else voting for the Reform
candidate.
sET.r-co VYi I1olV:
The following paragraph appears in the
Mail
sof Saturday := ..
"There is a peculiar feature about Grit
electoral victories which is worthy of note, and
is well calculated to excite';enspicion. It is.
this: The majoritywhich the'snccessfnl-Grit
candidate gets is nearly always secured in one
township. At the' West Northumberland'.
bye -election last year the Conservative can-
didatemasnearly defeated:becauee a majority,
of the electors ina particular township.
` changed their opinions between sunset of the
day before theelection and sunrise of the day
of the election. Now, in the connty,;of Glen
garry,•there. bas been inone: township a res
markable series of conversions. Cbarlotten
burg gave a Conservative majority of 19 in.
1879, but on Wednesday last_, it gave .a Grit
majority of 136, or 72 more Grit votes than
the entire Grit majority in the county, Have
our Conservative friends allowed the centrali-
zers to gerrymander;the assesssment rolls and
the, voters' lista."
Though it may not be the case we :will ad
Bait, for: argument' s. sake, that the voter's lista'.
have been gerrymandered by the "Grits" in
this particular instance. In the ,very next
column of the same issue.appeared the'follow-
ing paragraph:--..._
Orillia and Matchedash,' in East Sincoe,
gave, 371 Grit votes. and 291 Conservative
votes in 1879—or 'a majority of 80 for the
lviiniaterial candidate...' On. Wednesday the,
same places. gave. 262 Grit votes and 392 COR-
E ervative votes, or -a- majority of 130 for the.
C onservatiyecandidate."
;Vow if the Mail's reasoning in the first pa?
ragr aph is correot,it follows just as reasonably
in th is instance that the voter's lists were
gerryi'andered by the Conservatives, or how
did the Conservatiye candidate obtainthe. in-
creased., majority ? What is sauce for the

Tun following paragraph from ' the Mail,
contains both sarcasm and :sense:
"Childen were positively -refused admit-
tance to an organ recital given in a St. Catha-
rines church. Perhaps the trustees did not
wish the rising generation to know that sacred
edifices are used for concert purposes.
The Expositor has an article on appoint
menta to' office by Mr. Mowat, contending,
that he should appoint a Refornxor to every
vacancy, as Sir John always appoints his sup-
porters to office. We not only endorse the
principle, but as the Evening News (an edi-
tion of the Mail) lays down the principle that
if government is by party, then to the par-
ty belongs the spoils," we see' no reason why
Mr. Mowat should not adopt this policy in
Os entirety just as well as Sir John A. Mac-
donald.

IN another column will be found' a •commu-
nication in which it is asserted that the Can-
ada Pacific Railway Company are ,tightening'
the screws cu the:farmers;of'Manitoba, by re-
fusing to allow storehouses to be erected along
the aline of railway, which means that the
farmers, will, have a: -mighty poor chance of,
disposing of their produce 'at a fair value.. It'
a fair computation could be made'. of till ex-
tortion practiced one way and another by the
company, it would
be seen t it is s rise most
gigantic swindle and outrage ever perpetrat-
ed upon any civilized people.
The two political parties in Manitoba have
issued their platform prepraratory,apparently,
for the _approaching local elections. The
liberals comb out plainly and boldly for the
rightof the province to charter railways that,
will connect with foreign railways so that
they will not suffer from the monopoly of the';
Syndicate:; an increased subsiby and apguisi
tion of all Crown lands ; which means a de
mand'for better terms, which John A. will
not likely grant unless they submit cheerfully
to his terms; the "use of every legitimate in-
flnence to remove the excessive ` burdens laid
upon the people by way :ofcontributions. to
,the Dominion ;exehegner," a plank, which
clearly shows that they seriously; feel 'the -in-
jurious effect
in-furiouseffect of the proteetire tarriff, and do,
not intend to bear it anylonger than they can
help. _.They also advocate the encouragement
of those who are willing to undertake ' the
construction . , of railways promotion of
edication ; regid economy, and the ` extension:
of the boundaries of the province, we suppose
westward only. .As they have given evidence
of being in the majority the weight, of this
platform, will be to'a considerable degree
at Ottawa.

Formerly, when out -door relief was plentiful,
pauperism in the county steadily increased,
but since the poor -house test; along, with
abundance of work for all able-bodied�recipi-
ents of aid, was inaugurated, there has been
a steady decrease, while now there is no long-
er any need for the establishment. Those who,
on the ground of economy and supposed ,en
couragement to pauperism, have been eland-,
sed to the purchase of land and the erection'
of a poor -house in this county, should make
a"note of the result of erecting .one in the
above-named county. There are unfortunates
who deserve the sympathies and help of their
fellows, andtherefore provision should ,be
made for them in the erection of; an house of
industry, where all that are able 'will have an
opportunity of contributing as much, as pos-
sible to their own support, and those who are

of East. Bruce, which forms 'a portion ; of
this riding, Mr. Shaw polled a majority of
500 votes over Hon. Mr. Blake for the

revulsion of feeling .among the electors
since then that in this district Mr. O'Con-
