SEAFORT,11 FRIDAY, July 16th, 1897
Which Is It ?
The following appeared in a Toronto
- paper a few days ago :
At the police court yesterday morning
Richard Stone a saloon.keeper, was charged
with refusing admit Inspector Meetings
to his bar -room on a Sunday. After a hear-
ing, that lasten tor, some time, Mr. Stone
was convicted, and the fine of $50 and
costs or 30 days hnposed. Mr. Kingsford,
the presiding magistrate, remarked that the
sentence -was a monstrous one, and that
some representations should be made to
have the act amended so as to admit of a
lighter sentence for a firsi offence. " In
thbt Province," replied Mr. Haverson, who
appeared for Mr. Stone, " we are in the
hands of a lot of temperance fanatics, and I
suppose we will have to remain there until
the -Lord will deliver ue."
Mr. Haiversom-we may remark, is the so-
licitor for tne liquor dealer's association.
According to the Hamilton Templar and
some other good temperance authorities, the
laws of Ontario are all framed in the inter-
ests of the hotel keepere and. liquor dealers,
And the Government are ever ready to do
their bidding. But, according to Mr. Hay-
erson, the Governinent are in the hands
of a, lot of temper,nce fanatics," and the
laws are all framecl to suit them. Which
of these great authorities is right ? You
can take your choice, dear reader, Per-
haps they are both partially right. The
Government are doing what is fair and right
between the two parties and what is in the
best, interests of the country, and, conse-
quently, they do not please the extreniiste
on either side. Is that not about so ?
• Not Bound.
In dimming the decisioa cd, Justices
Ferguson and Robertson in the Londo
election trial, and bewailing the hard fat
of Mr. Hyman, who has been so frequent'
euchred out of his seat her the represent&
tion of London in the Dominion Parliament
the Toronto Globe says
He failed, however, and the courts hav
declared that the seat for :London fairly
belonga toe his opponent. Against thi
„ judgment of the courts no Liberal has any
'word of criticism to offer, much as we al
aympathize with Mr. Hyman and hope tha
he may fare better in future contests.
Inthis respect our contemporary is entire
ly mistaken. We doubtif there is a Lib
eral in the Province, or in the DOminion
either, who has read the evidence, who is
not prepared to criticise the judgment o
the court. In fact, the London Advertiser
and many other Liberal journals have
criticised it very severely. But, it is the
assumption of thee Globe, as contained in
the above quotation, that beeanse a court,
compeand of one or more judges, gives a
certain decision that, therefore, there
should not be adverse discussion of that de -
promulgation of whinh should not be allow-
ed to pass trachallenged. The Globe admits
that the7 wa,s no doubt that corruption
was rife in the election." It is equally
true, that it was proven by the evidence
that corruption was rife in the ..elec tion,"
and yet, according to the theory of the
Globe, it would be wrong or out of place to
criticise a decision of a court which declar-
ed there was no serious corruption pro von.
In other words, that the decisions of -courts,
no matter how unreasonable or how con-
trary to evidence they may be, must be ac -
peeked in silence by the public, and must be
considered as a.boye criticism. The proposi-
tion is simply absurd, and can only be ac-
cepted on the theory that " the King can
do no wrong," or, in other word; that two
• men, no matter how fallible thee; may be,
and goodness knows many of our judges
are fallible enough, cannot give a wrong
decisionnsimply beca,use they are judges
and are zntting in conft. Such a doctrine
- - may be swallowed in Russimbut it will not
1
•
'' have many adherents in free Canada. We
believe that if a court giyes an absurd de-
cision, such as that given in the recent
London election ease, it is and should be as
open to etiticism as au editorial article in
the columns of the Globe. It is in the
interviste of justice that such should be the
case. Let the judges of the land come to
-o understand that their actions are above
criticism, and that no dog dare raise his
head after they yelp, end we will have few-
er just and equitable decisions in our courts
than we now have. The judiciary of this
country are, on the whole, an' just and as
equitable and as level headed as are the
judges of any other country' in the world,
yet they are only human, and human nature
in them is very much the same as in the
rest of us. Nene of us can etand the idea
very well that we are autocrats, and that
our aets are beyond criticism. If, on the
other hand, Our judges know that their acts
are open to riticism, the same as are the
acts f other public. officials, they will
natur Ily be more careful to make their
decisions conform more closely with right
„and jestice than they would otherwise be.
If tha criticism at any time goes beyond'
what is propernand degenerates into abuse
or license, there is law to protect, the judges
the same as there is to protect other people.
A veny important bulletin has been is-
sued from the Agricultural College at
Guelph. This bulletin has been prepared
by Professor Penton, professor of biology at
the college, .It deals with the Saa Jose
scale, a very destructive insect, whiCh has
reeently made its appearance on the fruit
trees in the Niagara district and in other
portions of Ontario, and which, if it ever ,
gets a footing in our orchards, will speedily
destroy not only our fruit trees but our
shade ancl ornamental trees as well. Pro-
fessor Penton gives a history of this insect,
a complete description of its appearance
and how it works, and prescribes the
best known methods of destroying it or
preventing its spread. These bulletins are
distributed free and every fruit grower
should have one and can prooure them by
writing to the college.
Editorial Notes and Comments.
The Hamilton Herald, which is n 'h-
ere' in its proclivities, lays that w en Mr.
Whitneyealked at Dundee he spoke the
same piece as he had spoken at other points
of OntariO, " but," adds our contemporary,
" somehow it fails to convince Mr. Whit-
ney's heaiers that Whitney will win, or to
show than why he should win." -
The Lo don Advertiser takes the follow-
ing Mark Tapleyan view of the weather sit-
uation :11' When we in this favored spot read
of hundie s of deaths from the heat in the
!cities of t e United States, we ought to be
thankful hat our lot is cast in a locality so
The C neenvatives of East Huron are
called to eet in convention at Brussels, on
Tuesday n t, the 20th inst., at 2 o'clock p.
m., for th purpose of selecting a candidate
to contest the constituency at the approach-
ing dectio for the Provincial Legislature.
Several p minent politicians are expected
to he press nt to deliver addresses.
The Mo etary Times, published in To
ronto and which is non-political, says :
" The Mo treal Board of Trade has cabled
to Sir Will ld Laurier, asking that the first
speech he elivere in Canada after his ye -
turn inay to that body. They propose
to give him a banquet, and when it comes
off it will b a rouser. We in Ontario are
proud of M . Laurier, as our representative
in Britain d ring the Jubilee festivitieerbut
we are not o proud of him as the Quebec-
ers."
On July 6th, the Clinton New Era passed
its thirty-second mile stone. The New }era
started out in life in a ,erY modest and 'DAL
in
assuming way, and durin all these years
has grown hind become ore influential
and newsy without tossing any of nts innate
modesty, until now it stands among the
leading weeklies bf the province. We con-
gratulate the New Era on having attained
such a respectable old age, aud we trust
that finder the able management of Brother
Holmes it may still continue to grow with-
out becoming ancient or grey -headed. ,
At a convention of the Patrons of Prince
Edward county, held in Picton last week, -
Mr. John Cavan, M. P.P., was again select-
ed as their candidate for the Legislature.
It is not likely the Liberals will bring out
any candidate in tali riding. Although Mr.
Cavan, before becoining a Patron, was a
Conservative, his course in the Legislature
has been such as to win for him the confi-
dence of the Liberals, as well as of his OW2
party. While he did not at all times sup-
port the Government,. he always took a
reasonable view of public questions and
refused to give the Government a factious
opposition and manifested a disposition to
give them fair play. This is, all the Liber-
als desire.

THE TWELFTH. —Monday last was a real
gala day foe Mitchell. With its aroirs of
evergreens and other street decorations the
town looked its best, aud it also did its best
to make welcome and entertain. its crowd
of visitors. Altogether abeet 400 Orange-
men came in by the early trains from dis-
tant points, or by rigs from the surround-
ing country,and long before noon the streets
were thronged by marching processions and
gaily dressed spectators. Two brass Nimbi
avd a good dozen fife and . drum bands, as
well as pipers in the kilts,made the occasion
merry with their music. Early after din-
ner a grand march was made from' the
market squire to the public park, where a
special platform had been erected for the
bands and Breakers. From 1,500 to 2,000
people gathered about the stand to listen,
first to the words of welnome from Mayor
Hord, followed by patriotic speeches from
Rev. J. W. Holmes, Messrs, .,T. H. Race,
Rev. Stephen Bond, of Seaforth ; Rev. 'Mr.
Edmunds and Rev. J. T. Kerrin. The
speeches were all moderate in tone, but full
of patriotism and loyalty to the Iprinciples
of Btritish civil and religions liberty. Noth-
ing occurred to mar the good feeling that
prevailed, and early in the evening the
crowd dispersed in a most exemplary man -
nee, leaving a good impreasion behind them
of their orderly conduct throughout the
day, and bearing with them an equally good
impression of -the town and the manner in
which they had been welcomed ' and enter-
tained.
