SEAFO TH, FRIDAY, Noe. 25th, 1898 Lennox in Line. 13 The bye -election in the county of Lenn x on FridaY hest, for the Ontario Legislatur , , , resulted in the election of Mr. Aylesworth„ the Libe al candidate by a majority of 109. In Mare last Mr. Aylesworth's majority was 43, A protest was entered against his election, and he re-signed the seat. Hence the election on Friday lest. His oppon- ent on I.' th oceasiona was Dr. Meacham. Dr. Mea h,am had repreeented the constit- nency fo three parliaments previously, and wa$ one f the leading members in the last Legisla.t rre on the Conservative aide. The result of 'this election is most gratifying te the Libe ale, and may be takeh aa ate ind X of what he result will be in most of t e other by -elections which are yet to coMe off. 1Hon. J. T. Garrow. The a nouncement was officially made Monday last, that His Honor, the Lieut ant Gov rnor of Ontario, had, ripen t recomm ndation of Premier Hardy art& hi . coileagu s, called as a member of _the Pro !,:lsvineial dministration veithout portfolio Mr. J. . Garrow, Q. C., of Goclerich. Mr Garrow'et position is simnar to that held b Hon. E. H. Bronson, ot Ottawa, ia the las Legielature and which he wasforced `to resigi on accotint of ill health. Mr.Garrow's many friends throughout th county will unite e with Tien EXPOSITOR in, extending to h m congratulations on this ark of apprecia.ti n - of his seavices and abilitiee. In annound the appeintment the Glebe 'Jaya : _ Mr.' Garrow will not be a. salaried me ber of the government, and, as has b en said, wi I not hold a pertfolio, He wo ld not hav been in a position to accept a po t- fotio if t ere had been one to offer, as his large le I practice would preclude his ac- cepta,ne of & portfolio unless he were pre- pared t make greater percuhiary sacrifices than he addble or willing to make, but he will sit n council, and the government will have bo h in council and in the legislature the adv ntage of his ripe and mature judg- ment, o his legal and business knowledge, and of is industrious liabits. He brings unquest oned strength to an already able administration, and es hile congratulating ' Mr. Garrow, we also co gratulate the gov- ernment epon having c lied to their coun- sels a man ot his high haraeter and great ability, and one possess ng in so large a de- gree theFoonfidence of t e legislature and of the enti e countly. interests of the management a well as of the public. The Statement is m de, and we believe with some measure of ruth, that old and experienced employees have been- dis barged, and younger and ess exPeri- ene d men have tnion taken on in their plebes at lower salaries, also th t in matiy instances employees, suoh as witch- en, baggage -men, telegraph operate a, and e track -men, have ,beete given largely in- creased duties without any increase in re- muneration, and that liesedutie:s which are now imposed on these workmee are ore honerous than men o n properly perfo •m, or should be reqhired attempt. If th s is the case, then the company is culpable, and the public is required .o suffer throhgh t eir culpability. It is all ery fine, when a ace oidenteccurs, to blame nome poor fe low who may be a switchetnan or operator, and who, through over -work, is rendered in- capable to properly discharge his du ies. In suoh cases the fault is the comp y's and not the employees', and the com' any should be held accountable. It ins be Said that if the duties imposed are too heavy that no man is compelled to u der - take the performance of them. This, ow - ever, is only partially true. The empl yee, rt he does not undertake the duties imp sed upon him, he is discharged. It is,there ore, -practically, obligatory upon him to u take the duties and try to perform t em, as dismissal, in many instances, means priv- ation for his family and those dependent upon him. If through carelessness on the part of an employee an accident °emirs, then the employee ehould be punished ; but if the employee huover-worked, and ie thus rendered incapable of properly performing his duties, then, surely the company should be held alone responsible, and the punish- ment should beadequate for the enormity o the offense. This is a matter which shoul be clearly and definitely settled in every in- stance by a proper and exhaustive investi- gation, and the authorities should see tha such investiga.tions,are head.

At any rate, strong feeling is the case. An e part of our au nary steps to re not well founded West Huron Conservatives. The Conservative eonveution which wa convened at Smith's Hill on Fricley las was largely attended and was a thorough]. representative and harmonious gathering The object of the conventien was to select candidate for_ the' Provinciel Legisla tur and one for the Dominion Parliament On nominationonly was made•for each, the mantl for the Provincial falling on Mr. Josep Beck, of Saltford, and for the Domini() on Mr. Robert McLean, of Goderich. Mr Beck was Mr. Garrow's opponent March last, and Mr. McLean opposed Mr M. p. Cameron at the last Dominion elec vicar. At that election, however, there wa a third candidate in the field, in the perm) of Mr. Kilty, an Equal Righter. Bot parties in West Huronhaow have their can didates in the field, and are getting int line for the fray. It ig not yet known whe the election for the Dominion will be held but the election for the Local wil be held oil the Sth of December. Legitimat Fruits. The ellol saying that misfortunes seldom come siegly, was verifi cl in the case of the Grand 'Trunk Railway last week. Four "pitch in " accidents in one week is a sta.rtling, record for a. road that is said to be so Well managed as thee Grand Trunk. Moat, if not all of these accidents too, were the resalt of defective switch rnanagemeet. Fortunately only one of them was attended with vtry eerions reoults, in so far as the public ere concerned, although each one re- sulted in great loss to the company. T he aceideet near Trenton was the only one n connection with which there was loss of life. This, therefore, is likely to be the ord y one which will be enquired into. , A coroner'e inquest was held on the remains of the un- • fortunate people who were killed in this ac- cident The investigation, however, if such ie Gee be called, was of the most prefunctory character. The railway , company were repre ented at it hy two of their solicitors, while he Crown Attorney for the district, who as in attendance, seemed to act as if he we e More regardful for the interests of 'the c inpany than the public, and it is said e en the Coroner,who conducted the in - yes ti Ther who notw such the p dead all th pany train, Who ation is an employee of the compaoy. was no legal represntative ef those ere mangled and killed.

If, on the other hand, these su,spicicns whioh certainly do exiet in the public mind, are unfounded, this feet, also should be made known, in the Noble Sentiments. The following passage is taken from th speech delivered by Hon. A. S. Hardy a the complimentary banquet Which was te dared him s " Men who are naturally liberal are, sa guine in hope aud in,their political specul Lions ; they believe in pressing forward, ar quick eo discein the imperfections of wha ever exiete, willing to improve, anxious experiment, and some even too apt to loo upon any change as an improvement.
