Exeter* Deo. eIth, '95 i(Iptit1tO.irinc00 THURSDAY, MARCH 17th,1898 THE WEST HURON MUDDLE, There has been great excitenient 'N'Vest Huron clawing the past two weeks over the action of the Return- ing Officer in not counting the returns • a three deputies who failed to sign their declarations This has been dope by other returnbag officers and seems • to be the order. Mr. Beck, who re- ceived the majority of votes was thus •collated out, and Mr. Garrow, the Liberal candidate, declared elected by •*a, majority of eight. Mr. Beck applied for a recount by the judge, who counted the ballots not certified to, to- gether with the rejected ballots, and Saturday declared Mr. Beck elected by a majority of 2 votes. The recount • Isas thus restored to Major Beck the rights of which he had been deprived bythe returning officer. It is wrong that a fairly elected. candidate should be placed in the position of having to go to the county judge for his ma- jority. If the law is really responsible for the action of the returning officer in West Huron, the law should. be changed. It would not do to allow the ;returning officer to accept the scruti- neersreturns from districts which are not represented in the official returns. Stich a course might lead to the sup- pression of the official returns and allow a partisan returning officer to accept a false return in his declaration •of the result. The true cure for evils like that in West Huron is a change in the law which will compel the returning officer, when there is no official return, to notify agents for both candidates that he will open the ballot boxes for the diyision in ques- tion and count the ballots in the pres- ence of these agents. Then he can make an official certificate of the result in these divisions. This amendment to the law, with provision for a heavy flne upon all deputy returning officers who fail to make an official return, would prevent the recurrence of the West Huron troubles in other constit- uencies. Mr. McLean, the defeated Liberal candidate for South Huron,in his card of thanks to the electors says -'We hays fought a goodfight and an honor- able defeat is more to be desired than a dishonorable or purchased victory." A purchased victory! Tbis is a some- what boldassumption; bat reading the article further we find that 1V1r.IVIcLean accuses the Liberals withhis defeat, by • forming an alliance with the Conser- vatives Frora this then we are to infer that the Liberals who voted for Mr. Eilber are guilty of accepting a bribe. Sorely the Liberals of Stephen township, who supported Mr. Eilber, will resent this base imputation at their first opportunity. • Spain can get no sympathy from Canada in war with the United States. Cuba has been bled and butchered for years, The Cubians are not par- ticularly well fitted to enjoy the bles- sings of free goyernment. Their island will be the scene of strife and tumult if it were brought under the shelter- ing folds of the American Bag to -mor- row. Yet, United States supremaey itt Cuba would mean more good to human- ity than Spain's supremaey, and there- fore, it is in the interests of humanity she should ieterfere to free Cuba. A country which cannot prevent its postmasters from being assassinated because of their politics is not an ideal upholder of the standard of humanity. The ternary in which negroes are • burned at the stake and workingmen are triaseacred, is not all that it should be, But the fact that the United States • is decidedly better than Spain, is good and suffieient reason why Canada eboald give her sympathy to the 'Re- public as againat therant power of Spain. 1 T otters of administration for the es- ttLL the late Arthur Kingsmill,Lon- e been applied for.

Either, the mernber.eleet :of •the Riding, counter petition will be tiled by the Conservatives. Unless the Liberals are simply taking steps for saw -off pur- poses, it is hard to conceive their motive.; as the Conservatives carried on a pure ettilipaign an fought a clean fight. An estiMate of the probable vote irx the senate on the Yukon bill places the inajority against the meesure at sixteen. Senators will not deal with the question upou party lines. Two, or probably three, Liberals will vote against the bill. Ontario and Ruche° are about evenly divided on the subject in the Senate, and the Maritime Pro- vinces are strongly agaiusttheGovern- itt policy* • + x Great Britain is blamed for her be- havior towards the north during the civil war in the United States. There was a great deal to criticize in themis- taken attitude of the British authority at that time. Americans never stop to think that as a matter of dollars and cents the breakup of the Union would be enormously to Britain's ad- vantage, Nor do Americans ever stop to think that Great Britain could have assured the breakup of the Union by espousing the southern cauee. Eyery material consideration urged Britain to aphold the south; every moral con- sideration urged Britain to side with the north, and with all her faults, lit is to Britain's credit that she resisted a temptation to which any other nation on earth would have yielded. x It would seem that $350,000 in cash from the British Columbia treasury and 3,750,000 acres of Yukon goldfields ought to meet the cost of the Teslin Lake tramway, including the possible or probable extension from Telegraph Creek to Fort -Simpson. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in his reply to Sir Charles Tupper on Monday, made it clear that British Columbia's money to the amount of $350,000 and Yukon gold fields to the extent of 3,750,000 acres are to go to Messrs. McKenzie &Mann to repay them for building a 150 mile tramway for theirown use and benefit. Then when the United States renders the tramway practically useless there will be another emergency to which Hon. Clifford Sifton can rise with the proposal to give millions more to the victims of his LakeDwaphinand Teslin Lake railway bargains. With Mc- Kenzie & Mann in control of the line from Telegraph Creek to Teslin Lake, no other person can think of building from Telegraph Creek to Fort Simp- son. The claims of these two patriots for a cash subsidy sufficient to extend their railway to Fort Simpson and so baulk the United States sorao more will be irresistible, and the interests which are grabbing mining lands this session will be back at Ottawa to grab money next session. -Toronto Tele- gram (Lib.)

WEST HURON ELECTION. s Goderich, Ont., March 14 - Judge Mason this afternoon delivered a lengthy judgment on the disputed bal- lots itt the West Huron eleetion re- count. He disallowed three ballots with a single stroke, and four with a cross on the back, as well as the front, and allowed two ballots with lineson in ad- dition to the cross. Two ballotsmark- ed with blue and one with a red pencil are allowed, and the ballot with the number nearly all torn off is also al- lowed. The result of all is to leave Mr. Beck with two majority. Mr. Gar - row filed an appeal against the re- jecting of three ballots marked for him'against four ballots allowed for Mr. Beck. Mr. Hays will appeal gen- erally on behalf of Mr. Beck, so that the whole matter will come before the court in Toronto. THE NEW GOV.-GENERAL, Cablegrams announce that Lord George Hamilton, now Secretary et' State for India, will succeed the Earl of Aberdeen as Governor-General of Canada. Lord George Hamilton was one of Lord Beaconsfield's cele- brated "Young Men." His father, the late Duke of Abercorn, owed his dukedom to that statesman, and an intimate friend of the great Conser- vative Premier. He figured as "the Duke" in "Lothair." Afterwards, in real life, he, with the brilliant assist- ance of the Dutchess, becatne the most generally popular Lord Lieutenant Ireland has ever had. Barons Court, the principal family seat, is in the County Londonderry, Ireland; and the larrill3r have also a small property known as Duddington House, near Portobello, in Scotland. Lord George Hamilton, wbo was born in 1815, was the third son Of the kite Dulte, brother of the Bishop or on lo on MOtiday. C11111)111N LOGS FOR l• bonus Of $850,000.

Ottawa, Marcia i0. -'rhe celerity with Which the Yukon Railway hill passed the committee stage yesterday astonished the Ministerialists. They did not expeet it; they did not want it. Unquestionably a new deal is under way with McKenzie and, Mann, and the Government wants time in whioh to formulate its proposed change of policy. The intention now is on the part of the Opposition to let the bill go up to the Senate without delay, where it will meet its fate, The majority against the bill in the Senate Is 'variously estimated at from 12 to 80.

Mr. Britton moved the adjournment of the House to enable him to road a state- ment prepared by an Ontario Government ofdoial, showing that only 164,000,000 feet of logs were being taken out of the Georgian By district to Michigan this year, instead of 328,000,000, as stated by some Conservative newspapers. Mr. Bennett could not devise the rea- son for Mr. Britton bringingthis question up, unless it was to break ground for Mr. Charlton, who, befove the ()lose of the session, would be found protesting against an export duty on logs. Longing looks had beenz directed by the Premier toward the member for North Norfolk to speak on theeYukon bill, and doubtless he had been induced to break silence by the assurance that no export duty on logs would be imposed. No doubt, from the recklessness.which marked the document read by Mr. Britton, it was prepared by D. F. McDonald, an employe who' suc- ceeded in swindling the Ontario Govern ment out of $15,000 in aues. That gentle- man only reported 15,000,000 feet cut by the Moore Lumber Company, although he knew 30,000,000 feet had been cut. McDonald, instead of being dismissed, was placed in a higher position, where he could do the work of the party. Mr. Bennett proceeded to criticize the state- ment read by Mr. Britton and showed how in many particulars it was unreli- able. Evidently Mr. Britton had. been made the victim of a confidence game - (laughter) -just as Mr. Mulock did with the Minister of Customs when he author- ized him to announce the 8c letter rate to England. (Laughter.) He protested against Mr. Britton wasting the time of tho House in this way. Evidently the Government wanted to mark time on its Yukon policy. Mr. Speaker Interposed. Mr. Speaker, interposing, said he thought the practice of moving the ad- journanent had been carried too far lately. Mr. Bennett -I quite agree with you Mr. Speaker and I trust after this ad- monition to 'Mr. Britton the hon. gentle- man will not transgress again. (Great laughter.) He concluded by expressing the hope that when the question of the log duty came up Mr. Britton would be found ad- vocating it. Illr. Sproule Heard From. Mr. Sproule said he thought Mr. Brit - ton's object was to influence the Ontario elections now in progress in Russell County. The estimate that 300,000,000 feet of logs would be shipped from the Georgian Bay to Michigan this year was not excessive. To prove it, hehad a letter from a lumberman of the Spanish River District, stating that during the month 60,000,000 feet's had been taken out for Michigan mills. This 300,000,000 feet would mean the employment of 6,000 men in Canada for six months if the logs were sawn in Canada. This ended the discussion. YUKON BILL IN COMMITTEE. Hr. Blair Announces That a Supplemental Contract was made with Messrs. McKenzie and Mann. The House at 4 o'clock got into com- anittee on the Yukon Railway bill, Mr. Blair announced that, owing to objections raised during the debate, a supplemental contraot had been entered into on the 28th of February with Messrs. McKenzie and Mann, embodying certain modifications. First, hon, members op- posite were of opinion that the permission to select additional blocks at the end of any odd -numbered block gave tho con- tractors an enormous advantage. The contractors did not think so; neither did the Government; but, the objection hav- ing been raised, the privilege to select end blocks would be struck out. The supplemental contract further pro- vides that after the railway from the Stikine to Teslin has been constructed the company is bound to operate it for five years. .Asa security for the fulfillment of this condition, the Government will retain oncelifth of the land grant for five years, but the company may at any tine secure the allotment of the land by substituting other security. Otbor provisions were to the effect that no member of Parliament shall have shares in the enterprise; that only such Janda shall be given as may bo in posses- sion of the Government at the time of gelection, and that a majority of the beards of dirootors, as in all, shall be British subjecte. Amended in Committee. The bill was amended accordingly in committee. The expropriation clause was ellowed to stand, Mr, Haggett having pointed out that it gave the company power to expropriate in any part et the Dorniefon. • Xn the eburse of the diseuSsien, Mr. Haggett- enquired Utile Governinetit were aWate that any other Government or municipality were bonusing the railway. tathet astonished the eoni- mitteety aneWering in the eegative, the tad being generally known that. the Brittettnibia Goveanment is giving a Section id Was then amended to con- fine the right of expropriation to sites along the line of the proposed railwaY, and at the termini thereof. Mr. Blair moved the addition of a clause declaring the said railwaa to be a work. "for the general advantage of Can- Tbe motion was hailed with facetious indications of dissent, one Opposition anember observing that it was rather for the general advantage of McKenzie and Mann. "And the boy," added another. With that the bill as a whole passed the com- mittee stage was reported as amended, and stands fir: a third reading at the next sitting of the House. Jrirst Bill for Sir Louis. Tbo bill to amend the Act respecting certificates to masters and inates was put through the final stages, so that to Sir Louis Davies belongs the oreclit of pilot- ing through the first bill passed this ses- sion. The bill respectine Government wharves and breakwaters a'slso passed. But the Minister of Marine had a more difficult task with the next measure, his bill to consolidate the Acts respecting steamboat inspection and the licensing of engineets. The bill is largely technical and the remainder of the evening was spent in committee upon it. At 11.30 the committee reported. pro- gress and the House adjourned. THE RAILWAY COMMITTEE. Hon. Mr. Blair on the Stand Respecting the Drunsmond Comity liailway Deal -Mr. Greenshields' Evidence. At yesterday's meeting of the Railway Cominittee the Provincial Treasurer of Quebee did not turn up to tell about the subsidies, but instead sent in a statement. Mr. Blair was present and made a 00131- prehemivo statement of the plan for the extension of the I.C.R. to Montreal, which he had gone into, he said, as a purely business arrangement. After going over the matter with his deputy, who in- formed him' that the late Government had had under consideration the acquisi- tion of the Drummond County Railway, Mr. Blair came to the conclusion that it was the best and cheapest way of getting the I.C.R. into Montreal. The Grand Trunk's first offer had been reduced by $16,000. • • • Mr. Haggart Wanted to Know. • "Does the contract under the Subsidy Act require the road up to the standard of the Interoolonial?" inquired Mr. Hag - garb. • Mr. Blair replied that it did not, but under the Government agreement it was reqTuhierned.mr. Blair meat on to observe that a good deal had been said in the press in regard to the corrupt character of the Drummond County matter. "I negotiated the terms from beginning to end myself, with Mr. Greenshields, end, with the exception of a conversation with Mr. Mitchell, in his presence, the whole of the conversations and negotia- tions tool- place with Mr. Greenshields alone. I do not know that any other member of the Government had any con- versations on the subject, except, of course, that I reported the progress of negotiations from time to time. The Drummond County people wanted $100,- 000 a year rental. Now, at no time, and under no circumstances, did Mr. Green- shields say to me, or I to him, one sylla- ble in reference to any election or other contribution in any shape or form." This little speech coneluded the Minis- ter's statement. • Schrieber's Valuation. Mr. Schrieber, Deputy Minister of Rail- ways, gave further evidence as to the value of the Drummond County Rail- way. Allowing $170,000 for the Nioolet branch, also for expenditure on inaprove- 33aent, it would bring his estimate of the cost of the road, as made for Mr. Hag- gart, up to $1,035,500. Mr. Greenshields on tbe Stand. Mr. J. N. Greenshields, when he took tho stand, was asked by the chairman about the dealings between himself and Mr. Tarte in regard to the purchase of La Patrie. He said nob it dollar of the Drummond County money had gone with it, He had been asked by Mr. Tarte to conduct the negotiations for the par - chase of La Petrie from Mr. Beaugrand. As the deal was closed after 6 p.m., Mr. Tarte asked him for his cheque for $20,- 000 until next day. He gave it, and next day Mr, Tarte and his sons ropaid bim every cent of it. Where they got themoney he did not know. All the negotiations in regard to leasing the road took place with Mr. Blair, and nobody else; there had beon no suggestion of an election con- tribution, and to member of Parliament was interested in the road. The road, when fixed up• -to suit the Government, would have cost about $2,160,000. The committee, after passing a resolu- tion calling upon the Senate committee to furnish any evidence they xnight have in connection with the matter, adjourned until Friday. Bev. W. VV. Bates Acquitted. Toronto, March 16.-Rov. W. W. Bates of Thornhill was yesterday afternoon acquitted of the charge of stealing it number of small articles from the W. Eaton Company store on Nov. 30 last. Judge Morgan, In Kunming up, said there was no evidence that the prisoner had taken these things without inteeding to pay far them, though the oinoials of the store bad reasonable grounds for their suspicions. The prisoner had violated the rules of the store, winch called for all geode to be Wrapped up and a bill given. Vis Honor elosed by reminding citizens to be careful, in their dealings svith these stores, and to submit to the rules and less trouble would result. The prisoner was than discharged.

THE MEANS OF RESTORING A LITTLE GIRL TO HEALTH. She Was Gradually Fading Away and clioevreryPatorell-lItesalthl)."tl'eci Her Re - From The Examiaer, Charlottetown. Perhaps the most remarkable cure that has ever been recnrded is that of little Minnie 'Woodside, daughter of Me. and Mrs. OrttS Woodside, of Baltic, P. E L Mr. mid Mrs. Woodside are members of the Priucetown Presby- terian church, awl are well and favor- ably known in the settlement where they reside. Mr, Woodside does an extensive business in oysters. .A. news- paper correspondent hearing of the remarkable recovery of his Halo girl, called on Mr. Woodside, and ascer- tained the exact facts of the. case. The following is substantially the result of the interview :-"About a year ago last June I first noticed that my little Slaughter was not as bright as usual and that she complained at times of pains in her head and chest. Up to that time she had regularly attended school and was remarkably clever for a chiM of her age. She did nothing except attend schoc.1 and although I never supposed it would do her much injury, I allowed her to study too sedulously. Thinking that she was only a little run down I kept her from school for a few weeks and expected that she would be all right again. By the end of that time 1 was badly dis- appointed in my expectations, how- ever, as she rapidly grew weaker and lost flesh every day. I was alarm- ed, about her condition when she com- plained of a soreness in her lungs and began to cough. 1 was just preparing to take her to a doctor when a neigh- bor called to see her and advised us to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She assured me that Pink Pills had restor- ed her own daughterto health after several doctors had failed to do her any good. I therefore resolved to give them a trial and purchased a couple of boxes that very day. I began giying my little daughter those pills being very careful to follow the direc- tions. At the end of a month I noticed a decided improvement in her health and thus encouraged I continued using the pills three months more. Her health was quite restored by that time and she was able to attend school again. I regard my daughter's cure as almost marvellous and accord all the credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For little girls and boys of delicate constitutions no better remedy could possibly, be prescribed. What was done for my little girl could certainly be done for other children. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves,thus driving dis- ease from the system.
