South and West Huron Elections
Protested.
Thursday, the 2nd of August, was
the last day on which pretests .could be
filed in either South or West Huron,
and on this date protests were lodged
in both cases.
Joseph Bell, of the township of Col-
borne, who was Mr Connolly's second-
er, petitions against the return of J. T
Garrow, Liberal, as member for West
Huron. The petition is filed by Mr E.
L. Dickinson, of Wingham, by Messrs
Laidlaw, Kappele & Bicknell, his town
agents. It is alleged in the petition
that Mr Garrow is ineligible by reason
of his holding an office under or beirg
interested in a contract with the Ontario
Government. Thepetition also, charges
- misery' by agents, and ri.,ks that the
election tansy be declare null and void.
What is meant' by Mr Garrow "being
interested in a contract with the On-
tario Government" is supposed to refer
to his occasional enragement as Crown
Counsel at Assize courts, but whether
this will prevent a man holding a seat
or not, remains to be seen.
The election of Mr M. Y. McLean,
Liberal, as M.P.P. for South Hurun, is
. •` complained of by Mr David Niell, of the
village of Exeter, in a petition filed on
his behalf by Messrs Laidlaw, Kappele
• & Bicnell, agents for Mr L. H. Dickson,
• •' of Exeter. The petition is very similar
'n terms to the West Huron petition,
lleging that Mr McLean is ineligible
r the same reason as Mr Garrow, but,
n addition, claiming a sertiffitriind
the seat for Mr David Weismiller, the
defeated candidate. Mr McLean's re-
lation with the government was as
issuer of marriage licenses,' an office he
claims to have resigned some time
prior to the election. In this Riding it
is claimed that a number of "tendered
-'ioallots" were put isf, on election day,
in the i nterest of Mr Weismiller, and
his friends evidently hope that in a
scrutiny these would be allowed for
him and thus secure him a majority.

Liberal seats protested by Cons
Liberal seats protested by Libs
Liberal seats protested by Patrons....
Conservative seats protested by Libs..
Patron seats protested by Libs —
Total 29.
The time in which petitions can be filed
has now expired on all bet nine. These are:
—East Middlesex, East Durham, East. Al-
goma, Linooln, Prescott, North W entworth,
East Northumberland, Muskoka, Parry
Sound.
None of the protests on either side have
hben allowed to lapse yet save that against
Gurd in West Lambton.
There was no election protests filled on
Wednesday, but one or two more are to be
put in yet. Mayor Hiscott's seat in Lin-
coln will be attacked by the Liberals and
so will that held by Mr Savage in West
Algoma. The time for protesting, the later
does not expire for over a week yet, but
before that time the petition will be filed.
James Commee will claim the seat.

It is said that Cardwell election will
be brought on about the end of Sep-
tember, and Mr McCarthy will put
a candidate in the field, but in a con-
stituencey like Cardwell there is not
much chance of any one other than a
straight Conservative being elected.
Mr. McCallum, the P.P.A. member
for East Lambton, expresses the opin-
that when the Dominion election comes
along, so many of his co -members will
be elected as to endanger the present
Premier. There are many people who
will take this opinion with a big dose
of salt.

Deep and increasing spiritual interest
was manifested in the quarterly ser-
vices of Ontario St. Methodist Church,
last Sunday, the attendance of corn-
municants being greater than on form-
er occasions.. Mr. Lovett will attend
the district meeting as a representative
from this church.
The quarterly services of Rattenbury
Street Methodist church, on Sunday
last, were very largely attended, and
were occasions of much power and in-
terest. At the official meeting, Tues-
day evening, Mr. Lough was appointed
to attend the district meeting; it was
also decided to administer the sacra-
ment to the members in their seats, in-
stead of requiring them to go to the
'°comuruuioti rail, as heretofore.
Ontario Election Protests.
SOME ITEREBTINO DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED.
A Toronto correspondent writes: The
majority of the election protests against
Liberals are by straight Conservatives, in-
cluding those against the two Liberal mem-
bers for Hamilton, though their opponents
were P.P.A. nominees. In some cases, how-
ever, Patrons are the petitioners, notably
in that of Monok, where they are disputibg
the election of the Provincial Treasurer.
Most of the protests entered by Liberals
are against the return of straight Conserva-
tives, but in several cases they have singled
out P. P. A. nominees. This is the case in
West Lambton, where Mr Gard, the mem-
ber -elect was a former Liberal; in Heidi -
mend; -where Mr Senn; the -Patron mem-
ber -elect, was also a P. P. A. candidate;
and in South Perth and West Wellington
where the Patrons were also P. V. A.
nominees. No petition has been filled
against the return of any Patron who was
not nominated by the P. P. A This indi-
cates a polioy of 'war to the knife,' be.
tween the Liberals and the P. P. A. No
doubt the policy adopted by the latter or-
ganization of expelling Liberals who voted
against the P. P. A. candidates, has had a
good deal to do with embittering the Liber -
ale against the order, but besides this is
the desire and purpose to test how far the
election courts will take notice of
ACTS Or INTIMIDATION
when these are praotised by a secret order.
The P. P. A.will be dragged into the courts
if the Liberals can manage to get it there,
and it will be interesting to note the result.
The law is very explicit in its prohibition
of all attempts to interfere with the free:
dom of the elector. The kind of intimida-
tions are not strictly defined, and at firet
the term was construed as applicable only
to threats of material ,,injury, as, for in-
stance, personal violence, loss of employ-
ment, or deprivation of business. In Ire-
land, and still later in Canada, the courts
have ruled that threats of ecclesiastical
pains and penalties are to be included in
the forbidden practice; in other words that
spiritual intimidation is as illegal as the
more material interferences with the voter's
freedom of choice. Both the P. P. A. and
the Patrons have not merely threatened
their members with expulsion, for voting
against P. P. A. and Patron candidates re-
spectively, bat have actually since the el-
ection expelled some of their memberswho
have had the courage to vote as they pleased.
Under one or more of th e petitions filed
there will be a chance to ascertain how far
such societies may go in dealing with their
members. In each organization the expul-
sion was an afterthought—that is to say,
candidates for membership were not at time
of their initiation required to take such a
pledge as is now read into their obligation.
It is safe to say that many who are now
members of both sooieties would never
have joined either of them if they had sup-
posed that the lose of personal freedom in
the choice of members . of Parliament was
the price they were expected to pay for the
advantages of membership. The P. P. A.
propaganda has been from the first a spec-
ies of 'boycott', and it is not unlikely that
the expulsion of non -conforming °Patrons
from local lodges is due to the P. P. A. ele-
ment in the Patron membership. One pe
culiarity of the late contest was that while
the Patrons permitted their candidates and
officers to be members of the P. P. A., they
•sought to prevent them from being members
of either the Liberal or the Conservative
party.

serious illness of Mr. Geo. Carter, a highly es-

visiting his sister, Mrs. Mooney, of Brussels,
and was assisting to repair a defective chimney -

hose, take out the third length of hose and
replace with the sixth length. Wingham
ran first, and did the work in 63 seconds.
Kincardine followed, and won in 61} se-
conds. The race was considered to be a
perfect one, as the couplings and aonneo-
tions were made to the entire satisfaction
of the judges. In the western section this
is considered to give Binoardine champion-
ship honors, as Wingham has during, the
present season been defeating every team
against which they were pitted. The pjise
was $76.

From this return it is evident that Can-
adians have room to add to the market for
their products in Great Britain if they are
willing to successfully compete with other
countries. They cannot force an increased
price for what they have to sell in Great
Britain, in competition with the keenest
traders in other parts cf the world, unless
by producing a superior article, as tbey
have done in the case of cheese, and as we
hope to see them accomp'ish with regard to
butter. But they can add to the returns
received from what they sell by cutting
down the taxes on goods which they must
import in payment of Canadian products
sent abroad. Only by th.s means can the
people of Canada satisfactorily increase
their trade with the motherland or any
other country.
We have a great land, fraught with pos-
sibilities for a splendid future, if it is well
managed, but full prospe:ity cannot be
reached until the young northern giant
throws off the swaddling bands which re-
stricts both his energies at home and his
trade abroad.

In the matter of the Kingston election
petition on Monday, notice was filed on be-
half of Dr Smythe, the member -elect who
is petitioned against, of an application to
have the petition dismissed, on the ground
that it was filed without consent of the pe-
titioner.
Mr A. E. Peterson, of Peterson Bros„
apple dealers, Colborne, has just returned
from a tour of apple inspection in the New
England States and New York. All
through the States and in Ontario the ap-
ple crop, he says, will be better than for
years past, bat the price will be low, pro-
bably not more than a dollar a barrel.
Bradstreet's estimates the losses by the
big strike and boycott at $81,000,000, of
which $55,000 is borne by labor. Be-
sides this enormous money loss, over 25
persons have been killed, many crippled,
and many more have been sent to prison,
while many more are waiting trial for var-
ious offences. There is not much profit in
that kind of warfare.
Annie Fitzimmons, the four year old
daughter of Mr Hugh Fitzsimmons, of
Chatham, was the victim of it painfnl ac-
oident on Tuesday which resulted fatally
last night. While lighting a match she al-
lowed it to come in contact with her light
dress. In a moment the ohild was envelop.
ndin-a-blaze and.. before the fire could- be.
extinguished, she was terribly burled.
A law snit of a peculiar nature is soon
-to be• tried-in—London—.the _difference. hes
tween two London township farmers. It
appears a man named McRoberts was sad-
ly pestered with grasshoppers, and with
the aid of several neighbors, witb tin pans,
wires and brash, drove the whole horde on
to his neighbor's grain, to the , complete
demolition of the latter's crop. This
neighbor now brings an aotion against Mc.
Roberts for damages caused by the grass-
hopper raid.
A very sad accident, which proved fatal
to Master John E. Harris, lot 27, con. 1,
Eaphemia, happened on Saturday morn-
ing. It seems that while Johnny and his
brother were hauling in grain the team be -
came unmanageable, and he, in his efforts
to stop them, fell off in front of the load
between the horses. The wheels of the
waggon passed overithe boy s head and
neck, crushing his skull in a horrible man-
ner. His 'parents, who were in Florence
at the time of the accident, were summon.
ed with the doctor, but Johnnie was dead
ere either reached borne.
Mr Devlin, a well known resident of
Mount Pleasant, together with his family
and the family of a neighbor, held a picnic
Saturday at Whiteman's Creek. While
one boy was bathing he got out of his
depth, and a young Devlin, trying to save
him, was also dragged under. Mr Devlin
rushed to their rescue, when he sank in a
deep hole and it looked for a while as if
there would be a tripple drowning. How-
ever the boys managed to scramble out,
and securing a rail, pushed it towards Mr
Devlin, who grabbed it as he came up for
the third time, and his wife, wading ont,
managed to pull him to land.
