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

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

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

congratulations on this ark of apprecia.ti n

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

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

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

bold policy in turning toward England
when the markets of the Uoited States were
closed te her." After eulogizing Sir Wil-
frid Leurier, the Dominion Premier, he
said;: '1 The proximity i to the United
Statei 48 a great factor m median affairs ;
and, therefere,we all rejoic in the tendency
toward a ood understanding and friend-
ship heewe n Great Britainland the United

race, and in this respect he commission
now eitting in America hes an important
and significant bearing."
Referring to the Frenci-Canadians, he
he applauded their devittio and loyalty, re-
merking that he was sure that, though they
treareired their own traditiqns, they would
clo their duty if ever called' upon. In con-
cluding his speech, which touched upon
various Canadian matters, Lord Aberdeen
said :, " Celled& is working out her own
devellompent and destiny for her own sake ;
but in so doing she is necessarily working
also for the sake of the rest empire of
which she forms so splendi a portion."
