JUDGE ELLIOTT'S VINDICA-
• TION.
Cite fact that Judge Elliott is to
be impeached revives iutereet in
the recent Loudon election. This
fact alfords..au opportuuity fur mak-
ing public certain facts which' have
been developed since the last act
iu this drama was performed in the
Ho tee. To properly understand
the situation it is necessary to hasti-
ly review the ohjectious that have
been taken since the 30th of Feby.
last. The first two complaints
were :—
First—That the names of appeal
voters had been surreptitiously put
on the list.
Second—That the appeal ballots
should not hove been counted by
the Returning Officer.
These objections were quickly
disposed of, Tho names in appeal
wore shown to bo put on the list
in the regular order, and the law
makes it as clear as noonday that
the ballots in question should have
been couuted.
',alto u.p a list of names of all
persons whom it is p►opused to adJ

"Also at line 3.9, the fallowing:--
"Make up a list of names 'of per -
0114) whom it i,a -proposed, to strike
off, stating t e reason • why such

reason why the names are proposed •to

eases the person could at onoo at -
toad at the final revision, if he de
sired, and have the matter deter -
milted. Such action would be in
hal•muny with the principle of the
Gill,"
"Sia JOHN A. MAODONALD-The
following words might be inserted :
'Notiug on the said list the names
of any persons who are. dead,
or who are not, acoorditg to the
terms of this Alt. entitled to vote
and stating the reason in Said note."
"MR DALES—What I would sug•
gest is, that thio there there is no
provision in this preliminary revi-
sion for objecting to any names or
suggesting that they should be left
off. Dons the hon. gentleman in.
tend that the proceeding should be
taken at the final revisiou 1" *
SIR JOHN A. MACDONALD—That
is intended."
"Ma. MILLS—IIow are parties on
the old list to be taken off, as, for
instance, a man whose .tenancy
has expired, and yet hia name any
appear on the now roll. There
should bel some evidence, 1: think,
bu-t if no one takes any iuterest iu
the matter the old niuuo wpuld be
left ou. If he requires the atteu•
dance of the clerk or assessor to give
iuformatiou before the liet is made
up, he would be able to make it
more accurate, and n0 0510es would
have to be added or struck off, ex-
cept upon application."
"SIR JOHN A. MACDONALD—For
the second list the Revising Otfcor
has the list of the year before, and
the assessment roll of that year, the
year subsequent to the year for
which Ihl frit 1a t was made up.
He comes to the name on the voters'
list of the previous year, 'John
Joues, owner.' He looks at the
assessmeut roll far that year, and
lie finds that the name of John
Jones is not there, but he would
delve the name on and make a note
on it:—'Objected to; not ou the
assessment toll,' giving the reasonwhy the name is objected to. That
gives notice to everybody, and that
vote will have be be substantiated
at the final revisiou."
* * * *
On section 46:
The words of the law are—"State
the name or names objected to,
with the grounds therefor," and the
question is whether or not the words
"not qualified" are sufficient. For
the purpose of acertalning the mean-
ing of the law, resort has been had
to the long and thorough debate on
thoFranchise Bill during the three or
four months it was boforeParliamont
From that discussion it is possible
to 'ascertain what was in the minds
of the men who made the law; and
it will be coucedetl that these sten
meant the words of the law to re-
present' their precise intention and
nothing less. In rea ling the de-
bate it is found that from the very
ca.m.me.nea.ttest-IS ,• it, wee_ „Issas rstood
that the objections should always
be specific and never general. Thus
it came about that on the 3rd June,
18S5, Sir John Macdonald, refer•
riug t.o the very notices now in dis-
pute said :—
"The notice in the schedule will,
of course, have to bo ahead, and
instead of that form the notice will
be given that it is intended to ob•
jeet to the vote at the final revis•
ion in the polling district. If that
objectiou is sent in, and I think it
would be well to have it as ea.rl'.as
possible, the objection will be noted
and the revising officer will kn
app:oxnnately the number of obeu-
tiens and the class of u'ydeliuu ."
w
SIR JoIIN A. MAODON•tLD—In
this clause I think it will bo well
to provide with more particularity
as to the time at which the appeal
shall be made. If the committee
will look at the resolution in amend•
trent it reads thus :
"In any case where the revising
officer is not always a judge of auy
court, any person or persons who,-
under
vho,under the forgoing sections, shall
have made any complaint, objection
or application on respect of the list
of ;voters in tiny polling district,
whether such list be the first of any
subsequent voters' list, prepared
under this act for such polling dis-
trict, or any person or persons with
reference to whom such complaint
objection or aplilicatiou shall have
bean made, who shall be dissatisfied
with the decision of the revising
officer in respect thereof, may give
to the revising officer or hie clerk,
within seven days after the day of
such decision, notice !n writing of
his intention to appeal from such
decision, stating shortly in such no-
tice the decision complained of, and
his reason for appealing against it,
and shall cause a copy of such no-
tice to be served upon the party in
whose favor such decision was given
either personally or by leaving it at
his residence or place of business,
etc,,, * * *
Iloov could the revising iodises
know anything about the close of
objections if the notices were all in
thsi general to! ms "not qualified 1"
Cle'llly, Sir John Macdonald had
in iris milli' the idea that when a
notice of objection was served it
would state the special grounds i.n
in o.teh else. Leet there is no need
for speculating as to what the mean•
ing end intention of the word
"resounds" were in the minds of
those who made this Franchise Act.
On the 8th of June the recotd of
an important debate on the appeal
clause;, is given in the official Han-
sard. It is as follows :—
"Mn. WlELnoN—A revising of-
ficer may, in erasing the name,
completely destroy the name, so
that a person would not know the
reason why it had been eraeod.
After the first list is made up it
should be kept intact until it is
finally revised at the subsequent
revision. I shall therefore mole in
amendment to provide that, instead
of adding names to the previous
list, or erasing names, the Revising
Officer shall make up a Het of names
-proposed to be added and a liet of
names proposed to be struck off,
and li0. eholl state opposite the
names, why such action was propos-
ed. I move that at line 29 the fol-
lowing be inserted :-

power to take the' evidence anew,
d therefore it is not necessary to
ettle the point the same as it would
be to 00 ordivary appeal. It ie
eineply a rehea►'iug;.tlte judge deals
with the ease as though the Revising
Officer had not enquired into the
matter at ell, and under such sir
cumstauoas I should think a general
notice should bo aufficient. •
SIR JOHN A. MAODONALD—I
think it is important that—speaking
on the behalf of us all—that some
protection should bo given, 80 that
notice of appeal might not bo
givou in a mere fitof temper Or dia•
Appointment at a ruling. 1 think.
THERE OUGHT TO HE SOME REASON
sis'r OUT, though I have no objectiou
that there should be 'a proviaion
added to the clause ij at it is open
to the judge on appeal to hoar and
decide no other reason besides those
given in the notice.
MR. SPROULE—I thiole it very
important that soine reason'should
bo specified in the notice, because
parties may come without knowing
what they are expected to prove.
From this debate; referring_ to
precisely the saute class of objectiou
es were in dispute in the London
elections, wo sen what is meant by
the word "grounds." It means that
the person whose vote is in dispute
roust be notified in precise tonne
whet objection is urged against his
ueme being on the list. Common
sense wodld call for s notice if the
law did not make it clear. . Take for
exempla a rurel riding. John
Jones applies to be put on as tenant
of lot 20, con. 6. if he were served
with a notice, "Not qualified," he
might come twenty miles with proof
of tenancy. When, however, ho
reached the county town he alight
Prod thdt the real objection was that
'he was au alien or not of age. The
law contemplates that he will be in-
formed by notice exactly what the
objection is, so that he may come
prepared to meet it.
It thus becomes perfectly clear
that Judge Elliott only ruled in
accordance with the clear purpose
of the Act, as understood by the
men 'who created it• What better
vindication could he have 1—Free
Press,
Mo. CAMERON (1•Iuron)—I ob-
serve that the appellant is bound iu
is notice of appeal to pi re the
gro nzds 0j)00 wltich he prnpnscs to
appeal, it strikes the that appeals
from the judgments of the revising
officer ought to be made assimplo as
possible. The object is that per-
sons aggrieved by any adjudication
of''a returning officer may appeal to
a,judge, whore the revising officer
is nota judge, without the necessity
of employing a lawyer. ` •
As to the first and second points, I
ant very strongly of the opinion that
some amendment should be made,
and that an appellant should not be
bound to state the grounds on which
he proposes to appeal, that it would
bo quite sufficient and would meet
every emergency if the applicant
stated that he proposed to appeal
from the decision of the Revising
Officer upon his case. ' * -•

"POISONED' APPLES.
THE SILLY OUTCRY AGAINST AMERI-
CAN FRUIT BY ENOEJ ISII PAPERS.
The recent excitement in Eng-
land ogainst American apples, about
whish inquiry has been made by
some 01 Out' readers, was originated
by the Horticultural flutes of Lon:
don, and copied by many of the
prumeuent daily and other journals.
It was apparently based on the cow
mon practice in this country of
spraying young fruit with arsenites
lur the destruction of insects, by
which the fruit, which before was
distorted and deformed by them,
was made smooth• aud fair. The
London papers referred to appeared
to take it for granted that the spray-
ed fruit has absorbed the poison,
and so much of it that it is unsafe
.to buy any more American apples,
HICKS' INCUBATOII. and that those who oat them devour
dangerous, quantities of arsenic.
HOW• • MRS. HICKS GOT 'ON EASTER The absurdity 9f the position is dis-
BONNET WITHOUT FIGIITING tinctly shown when it id stated
F01t IT. that the largest quantity of Paris
Green (ivhich is only part arsenic)
Isharn G. used fn spraying, is ouly one pound
in 200 gailona of water, or over
three hogheads, snaking only one
pait of. arsenic in about 7,000 parts
of water. In spraying, not one
part of the water in ten ever reaches
the fruit, but covers the
leaves or drops to the ground,
and not more thrill a single drop
enters the calyx, and of this single
erop only one -seven -hundredth part
is arsenic—eu0ugh to kill a young
insect which weighs only two -hun-
dred -thousandth part the weight of
a man. It is therfore necessery for
a man, to recieve any injury from
this arsenic, t0 eat at least six bush•
els of apples at a single sitting.
But the Paris green is insoluble,
and does toot enter the fruit at a11,•
and this minute portion is washed
off by the first shower, as Dr. Kod-
zie showed with apples heavily
sprayed on purpose, where not the
slightest vestige of the poison could
bo detected by the most rigid test,
If our Eiiglieh friends had beou in
the way of receiving potatoes from
America some time ago, which had
been treated with Paris green, they
aright with morn prepriety have
raised an excitement against them,
for larger quantities of poison were
used for the striped beotle,although
it could never penetrate, the soil to
roach the tubers, and could never
enter them when it got there, from
its insoluble nature. The truth is that
millions of•persous eat such potatoes
every year without any harm, and
thus of thousands eat sprayed apples
annually without injury. The
whole matter as presented in the
English journals, naturally recalls
the account of tiro philosopher who

Q11 Tl ;t�1t3,
Ina lonely cabin in the woode south
of KuiokerboQker, fifty miles from
San Angelo, Texas, there lives a 0000
woman. She came to thet section
five years or more ago and has since
lived the life of a bermitese in the
wilds of Western Texas. There is
but little known of the strange wo•
man except that her name rs Anuie
Situpso0and that she carne hero
from Illinois. It is said that au un-
fortunate love affair back iu the
Sucker State was the reason fur the
woman adopting a life so btrange
for one of her sex. Miss Simpson
is yet a handsome woman, and tho
fact that she lives alone in"the wild-
erness proves conclusively that she
has plenty of courage.
The lady met witha thrilling•ad-
ventu.re shortly after her arrival in
Texas which elle will probably re
member to the end of her days.
The first week atter she took up
her abode in the but there appear-
ed there a ,strange dog. A worth-
less looking cur that camp from
know one knew where. The spin.
star promptly adopted the dog and
gave him the name Jack. It may
or way not be that was rho name of
the fickle Illinois lovor, but that
cuts uo figure in the narrative. • •A
short time after tho arrival of the
dog, Miss Simpson had a thrilling
adventure with a panther and there
are several ugly scars now on the
woman's back and shoulders that
she will carry to the grave.
Tho woman frequently heard the
cries of wild animals late at night
but she had no fear. Sho was arm
ed with guns and knives and bo -
sides Use heavy douse of the cabin
were securely bolted each night.
Late one night the spinster was
awakened by the shrill scream of a
woman at her very door. Sho had
often heard of the panther's cry,
but she did not take time to think
about it at the. time. Iler first
thought was that one, of her sex was
in distress, and she ilurr:e 11e:Arose.
A -feeling of caution, prompted her
to take a knife from the pini
wooden table,'a s8 0thenI ew
open the door. In another mom-
ent a large panther sprang upon the
woman's shoulders, knocking her
down on the cabin floor. The ani-
mal's sharp claws sarilc deep in-
to the woman's flesh and the teeth
almost met in the flesh upon her
back. It was at that critical mom
ent that Jack; the worthless ,outcast
cur, came to the rescue of his mis-
tress. The dog grabbed the ani-
mal's leg and bit away with all lois
might: The doge efforts wore not
in vain. With a growl of rage and
pain the panther turned from the
woman to the dog. It was only
for a moment but it was the means
of saving the spiriter's life. Sho
sprang to her feet graphing up the
knife as she dill eo. When the an-
imal turned again to his intended
victim she plunged the knife into
his breast. Fortunately for the spin-
ster the fisrt stab inflicted a fatal
wound. The panther sprang upon
the woman again, however, driving
the steel blade to the hilt in his
body. Tho animal's holt then ro•
laxed and it fell upon the floor
dead.
The woman found poor Jack in
one corner almost dead from the
ugly wounds inflicted by the ani-
mal. The dog was given the very
caro attention and in time recovered
from. his wounds.
Tho spinster walked several miles
to a couuty doctor the following
day and had her wounds dressed.
She has fully recovered and now
has ouly the scars to remind -her of
of the most thrilling adventure of
her life- The strange woman and
strange dog have formed a strong
attachment for ono another. There
is probably a bond of sympathy be-
tween them, a feeling that they are
both• outcasts iu a strange country.
Theo there is another reason ; Jack,
the cur, once saved tho spinster's
life and she will never forget it,

WHERE CIVILIZATION AND
SAVAGERY MEET.
Upon the 1500 miles of the shore.
of Lake Superior there are living
now less than 150,000 'persons, and
these are mainly in bustling cities
like Duluth, Superior, and Mar-
quette, in industrial colonies like
Calumet and Red Jacket, or In
struggling little ports like Fort
William and Port Arthur. Even
there the wilderness and primeval
conditions are face to face with the •
robust civilization which is ehoul•
derigg its way as capital is accus-
tomed to do rather tha,u ae natural
growth usually asserts itself. ,Not
that it is not a wholly natural,
growth which wo find at sill points
on the lake shore. fur it is all in re•
sponse to the inexorable laws of
supply and den rcd:...`_ire.t....th.0.comv-•
munities there have sprung into be-
ing far apart from well settled
regions in answer to these laws. •
Thus tt appears that to -day one
may ride in on electric street car to

to a trout stream, or one may take
the steam railroad, and in an hour .•
alight at a forost station, breakfast-
ing there, but enjoying for luncheon
a cut of deer or a dish of the trout
