SEAFORTII, JUNE 14, 1878.
A Melancholy Occurrence. ,
A most melancholy aecident happen
ed at Goderich on Wednesday of las
week, by which two promising youn
men, residents of that town, lost their
lives.., On that evening, Ir es F
Dickson, editor of the Signal, and Mr
Robert D. Carey, M. A., law student
went out on the lake for a s.i1, and nev-
er returned. The evening is intensely
sold, the water rough, and the emit in
which they embarked was too fra,i1 and
too heavily rigged, even for cairn water,
and neither of the unfortunate) victims
were competent to manage a boat under
such unfavorable circumstances. In-
deed. had it not been for thia lack of
knowledge and experience, they would
not have ventured out on such e day,
and especially in such a craft. Before
going they were repeatedly warned by
cdd and experienced boitt men. of the
dangembut being inspired with that love
for adventure and daring so common to
youthful and buoyant spirits, theYturn-
ecl a deaf ear to all warnings,and the
forfeit of their live*as the penalty of
their daring. They left the wharfShort-
Iy after 4 o'clock, and. as evening ap-
proached and they did. not return, their
friends became alarmed, and e tug boat
was sent out to search for them. When
about three Miles down the lake, end
about an equal distance freed the shore,
those on the tug found the ill-fated beet
floating bottom uppermost; the 3rt also_
found floating on the water the coat of
young Carey, but no further trace has
since been found of the unfortunate
young men. Mr. Carey is universally I
admitted to have been an exemplary
young man of much promise. As for
Mr. Dickson,it may truly be said of him
that he was in every respect a model
man. He was but twenty-four years of e
age, and few men of his years give bet-
ter promise for a usefullife andbrilliant
Gamer. As a writer he was pos-
sassed of much ability, and as a
buainess man he was ahrewd, but
retiring, and. better still,. strictly
honest and upright. Although so young
in years; he was fully master of his pro-
fession, and under his. management, the ;
Signal was raised from the verge of dis-
solution to a poaition of prosperity teed
to rank among the first local iournals
in the Province. It id. with feelings of
the deepest regret and. sincere sorrow,
• that we chronicle his sad, and untimely
•death, which is at once a heavy blow to
his aged. parents and friends, and agreat
10i3S to the entire community.
to take longer time to consider the mat-
ter. That the Council of 1879 will be
better prepared to finally lead with the
matter, past experience leads us to be
somewhat doubtful. The committee
which reported at the recent session is
the second or third that has had the
matter in charge, and the _final decision
was staved off -from year to year just as
it has been this year. These committees
have. cost the county a, very consider-
able etre of raoney, end unless the
Conned of next year utilize the informa-
tion thus gained, all the money expend-
ed will have been absolutely wasted.
We hopes, therefore, that between this
and next January the ratepayers will
use the:information laid before them,
and come to such a decision that they
may definitely instruct their represen-
tatives at the next election either to
t proceed With the work at once or to de-
g finitely -abandon it. 'After carefully
perusing -the information furnished by
. the last committee, and considering the
. question in all its bearings, we have
,
every confidence that the people will be
abundantly satisfied to incur the trifling
expenditure necessary to secure a com-
fortable horne for their unfortuuate fel-
low mortals. •
AnOther Specienen.
Last week we gave a specimen
what the Opposition eress. of this county
can ao in the way.of misrepresentation.
Our readers mist not conclude, how-
ever, that the samples we give from
time to time embrace the whole of that
sort of thing indulged in by these jour-
nals. ,Were we to reply to and refute
: one-fourth of the slanders and lihels
heaped upon the Reform candidates and
their leaders from week :to week by
these papers, the whole of our space
would be deVotecl to the nauseous wor
'nag litTRON EX
uents, in preference to breaking that
pled,ge and supporting his party in try
ing to do what he believed. was wrong
Not only this; but immediately after
giving this vote he received a letter
from the 'President of the South Riding
Conservative Association, asking him
for an explanation of the course he had
wards, giving as a reason that she
_ thought they were peanuts, "because
they cracked in her mouth." Serious

ance the little child. escaped death. It

purSued. Greenway immediately •
replied_ to that letter, giving an explan-
ation, and agreeing at the same time,
that if the Conservative Association
would say that his course was not in ac-
cordance with the principles he pro-
• fessed to them before his election, he
would at once resign his seat. From
that day to this Mr. Greenway has not
received an answer to this letter. And
-why was this letter not answered?
Simply because thOse to whomit was
directed knew perfectly well that it was
their own political leaders and not their
parliamentary representative who had
changed base, and played the part of
political traitors. The Opposition press
may, and no' doubt will, continue to
abuse Mr. Greenway, and shout after
him" traitor," but they can net; and
they dare not tiy to, refute one single
word we have said in his behalf. They
may pursue and pereecute him, but
they can not prove that he acted the
part of a" traitor" towards them. It
of was the Censeresative party who turned
ageinst Mr. Greenway, because he re-
fused to desert his peinciples at the bid-
ding of his party, and. it was the lead-
ers of that piety who deserted the prin-
ciples of a life time for the prospect of
temporam party gain, and they refused
to allow Mr. Greenveay to remain in
their ranks unless he would prove as re-
creant to his principles as theyhad done
't� theirs: it is a knowledge of this feet
that makes thempurmie line so bitter-
ly now. He has, however, the proud
consciousness of having done right, and.
We content content ourselves with an oceanic)
I spe�irnen, and from these our read-
ers may judge of the ethers. In the
Toronto 'Vail of Monday last we notice
the following:
' The Mitchell " Advocat9 " tells this story -of the
i renegade G-reenwav, Grit candidate in South
1 Huron: "Before till' Grits would consent to let
' line be: eleetNI by acclamation, (at his last oleo -
tion) it has f.inee turned up that Mr. Greenway
• gave to Elie 'party of purity' a written pledge,
• that if unopposed, he would, on all minor mat-
, tern, for the first year, vote with Sir John, but if a
' test question came up, he would record his name
on thirside of the Government.. 0 The second and
following years he would vote straight with Mac-
:le-1We, under all circumstances. Thase were the
terinS of the bargain and sale, and well has he
performed his part, but thank Provi,lence his re-
ward is nigh at hand."
As the above is only one of the many
falsehoods • which are being indu
triously •. circulated through Sent
Huron by Mr. Geeenway's opponent
we -need not make any epology fo
briefly referring to L it, and placing Mr.
Greenway in his proper position before
the people, and we would direct the
special attention of the Mail, the Advo-
cate and all Others who have aided in
circulating the above fabrication, t., the
statement we make : It is not true that
Mr. Greenway gave either a written or a
verbal -pledge, as above stated. When
Mr. Greenway went to Perliamept there
was nothing to prever,t his supporting
the Opposition, save his conseience and
his sense of right and wrong. On the
contrary, he had everything to lose and
nothing to gain by taking the course he
did. Had Mr. .Greenway adhered
firmly to the Opposition, he might have
continued to represent South Huron as
• long as he wanted to. The party to
-which he then belonged were proud of
his abilities, and had be been auffi-
mealy subservient 'to abandon his
honest convictions at the bidding of his
political leaders, he would to -day be the
idol of the Conservative party in South
Huron, as he was in 1874. But, simply
because he refused to abandon the prin-
ciples of a life time, and give the lie to
his past prefessions and teachings, at
the dictation of Sir John Macdonald,
hose who formerly idolided him new
denounce him as a traitor, and never,
-
veary in slandering and villifying him.
There is not a Conservative in South
Huron who does net know that while
'was the candidate of that party, at
early everyneeeting-he held he avowed
iis determined. hostility to a protective
asiff. ConservatiVeadid not then find
ault with his free trade views, but
rather impleuded •them. • That kir.
Greenway was irrevolcably • committed
both publicly and privately, to oppose
an increase in the tariff except for
evenue.purposes, there is not a Con-
ervative in South Huron will deny;
ed the Conservetiyes were perfectly
stisfiecl with his position on this tines-
,
House of Refuge.
•- As will be seen by reference to the re-
port of the County Council proceedings,
definite action in the matter of estab-
lishing a House of Refuge and Tndus-
trial Farm in this county has been ,
again deferred until next January. The ;
able report of the committee appointed -
to visit and. examine, into the working
of similar institutions in other counties,
sihould receive a careful perusal. 'It
plaees.the benefits of the system, and
the coniparative cost of its working,
very plainly before the people. We may
here remark that • the _committee
unanimously concurred in •the report.Several raembers who had fonuerly op-
posed the scheme admitted that what
they had seen and the information they
had gained, induced theml to -change 11
their minds and become firm support- I,
ers of it. It was also demonstrated
that the first cost of establishing the
institutien would. only amount to about
01 77 en each 100 acres, and the an-
nual expense of maintenance would not
exceed 50 cents per 100 acres. Now,
*lien we look at the matter in this
light, we are not surprised at the eel.1„
version of men/berg- of the committee:
Although we arefree to admit that even
were a Poor Ilbuse established it would
net entirely obviate the neceesiity for
municipal and' private charity, ek-'et we
cannee that it would. very materially
decrease these. • And, although as a
matter strictly of dollars and cents the
establishment of a House of Refuge
might uot be a profitable investment,
yet looking at the question from a hu-
mane point of view, we must freely ad-
mit that the argument is entirely ii fa-
vor of such an institution. From the
evidenc,e given by the committee, we
have no hesitate 1 in deciding, that the
extra comfort afforded to the poor and
=fortunate in theso institutions, far
overbalances any extra expenditure that
their establishment and maintenance
entail. This seemed, also, to be
the universal opinion .of the County
Council, but a small raajority, while
freely admitting this point, being pos-
sessed, as we think, of undue and un-
necessary caution, tlaought it advisable
can well afford tolet them yelp..
_
Oun Exeter contemporary, the edi-
torial:columns of which are, We under-
stand,. under the direction of the. Con-
servative candidate for .Sonth Huron,
seems still to -labor under the delusion
that if the Canadian duty cai cattle im-
.ported- into this country from the Unit-
ed States were increased, the price Of
cattle here would also be increased. To
show how absurd this contention is, we
produce the following figures taken from
the trade and navigation returns for the
year 1877, which shows the number of
'Cattle imported into Ontario from the
h United States, and the number export -

tion. It wa§ on this question that Ir.
Greenway gave his first vote: against
the•Conservative party, as a party, in
Parliament. Now, we ask every honest
Man, be he Conservative or Reformer,
to candidly consider the question and
decide for himself which was the
proper thing for Mr. Greenway to do
to vote in accordance with his ea -
pressed and well-known convictions
and against his party, pr with his partY
and against his convictions. He voted_
in accordance with his convictions and
against his party. In doing so,' will any
honest man say he did _wrong? But,
for doing this, he was read out Of the
Conservative ranks. The next day after
he gave this vote, the To-
ronto Mail denounced him as a
traitor, and every member of the
Opposition party in Parliament turned
their backs upon him, and refused to
recognize him, and why? Simply be-
cause he kept his pledge to his constit-

Now, in view of the facts disclosed by
the above figure, we ask what earthly
benefit could accrue to the Ontario far-
mer by increasing the Canadian duty on
cattle, horses and sheep? It is scarce-,
ly worth while just now to further dis-
cuss the question as te -whether or not
the Canadian farmer pays the Ameri-
can duty. We tried to make it clear to
our. contemporaay, by its own illustra-
tion, that he does not, but me don't pro-
fess to be able to convince those who
won't be convinced. In the naeantime
we leave to our Eider friend the task
of proviug to its readers, iii the face of
the above figures, that the doctrine it
preaches would, if- adopted, in any
measure benefit the farmers of On-
tario.
