He 1 ¥ BALLOT ACT IN THE LEGISLATURE EASIER THAN EVER DETECT VOTER'S CHOICE. TO Mr. Pense Laid Bare the Facts as Disclosed in the Xingston Election--Cabinet Ministers Had Something to Say in Defence. In the legislature, on Wednesday, Mr. Pense, in moving for copies of the ballots made use of in Kingston and North Toronto bye-elections de clared that nothing had been given so much attention and been treated to so much attack in the legislature and on the political platform as the number- ed ballot. The conservative party spent days and even nights in chal lenging it, . as subversive of the voice of a free electorate, ~The first "meas. ure of the new government was an amendment: of the law, its introdue- tion being heralded with applause, as the beginning of a new era of un- trammelled expression. In the first election held under the new regime it was, therefore, a surprise to find that the numbered ballot still remained, and ftha¥ while the attorney-general and his fellow ministers told the peo- ple that at last they had the privil- ege of a secret vote, the workers upon the conservative side were declaring that the ballot was still a numbered one, and that it would be known how any person voted, if so desired. There was ground for the warning, since the ballots are numbered in regular or- der, and so is the poll hook as voters présent themselves. If it was possi ble under the' late government to de- tect a voter's choice, it is still easier under the new act, The ballots given to a poll are usually numbered from 01, and the poll book starts with the corresnonding number it mare possible, therefore, for a returning officer, poll clerk or scrutineer to re member a number under 200, than one | of three or four figures hefore appear ing on the poll book, and to watch for the corresponding ballot. It may be thought, perhaps, that wader , the inspiration of the most binding purity compact. ever made Canada that acts of intimidation KINGSTON, ONTARIO; THURSDA would 'hot be countenanced, but they were only parts of a general attack | upon the independdnee of license hold- | ers and public officials. The members | of the government were fair, even dig nified, in their addresses, and though ! they came in the full expectation of a meat wictory, and could well afford to be generous, he was happy to give them the eredit of honorable conduet. | But they were unfortunate in their | standard bearers in the constituency | another of wicked partners. The election campaign was planned almost a.year ahead; liquor livense holders have held such a swing as was never before experienced. In years past pro- secutions had reached a score or more, | case | | | and | | | | with nearly as many convictions; for a whole year now there has been hut one complaint, against a liberal, in view of the liberty accorded to others, a persecution rather than a prosecution. Two hotel-keepers, lib eral workers, to the speaker's knowl edge, were told by-gne of the fore most leaders of the local party that it was their bread and butter to work and re proposed cut for the government candidate, ports then started of ting off of licenses are still rife. For m erly licensed holders were about fairly divided in politics At this election the open liberal sympathizers could be counted hand Men them who had always heen liberals did not venture to speak to the liberal candidate on polling dav. The num Lered ballot did its work well and the ery also. Surely the provin cial secretary not be aware of the use made of the public service Even if inclined to do so, he eould not afford to wink at it. The visit of the four ministers and three chosen platform rallyers was well flanked by impressive movements. The Queen's Colloge delegation, asking for a building, were received in De: cember, whereas up to a late date there was decision on the subject, and time wag not an object. The college and the asylum were visited in state. | An enquiry into alleged partizanship | of an asylum officer was timed to put thi: fear of judgment in his and other minds, while they were reminded by wad workers of the numbered ballot. But the representation of the city was, a small matter compared with the integrity of publie life. The bal lot is mot what it was claimed to be. The comntry had been deceived, and the ballot aml the license power bad- lv misused. The office (in Kingston had proven. this. The government should be trie to its representations, or, at least, be frank. The members would feel interested in the ballot, for on one among nse could no doubt, they share in the recent surprise Hon. Mr. Foy declared that the bal lot was not open te the alleged charge of misuse. He had heard such a charge in North Toronto and had gone to inspect it, amd declared that it would .take manoeuvring of the sharpest kind to discover a connection by numbers. If it wae the opposition was equally responsible in not pro- testing against the act, Hon. GG. W. Rose showed how the ballot could be misused and declared that if it did not affect the change heralded when the act was passed, an to see numbers on lallots now am not when giving out a real numbered ballot. He also sympathized in @ spirit-of fun with the liberal member for Kimgston in the Joss of the libe- ral vote. The motinn carried. STOLE FROM G. T. R. ® Goods Taken at Belleville Traced to Cannifton.

DOGSAVES SIX Who Would Have Been Burned To Death. - AROUSED = MASTER OCCUPANTS CARRIED STREET BY POLICEMEN. TO All of Persons, Partly Uncon- scious, Are Revived--Poodle,' Aiter Doing Duty, Crawls Back to Place Under Counter. London, March 22.--The. sagacity and devation of a small pet dog saved six persons from death by asphyxia: tion at Upton Park, A policeman passing by the furni- ture shop of David Reed, Green street, at about 4:20 a.m., noticed smoke ris- ing and pitch oozing from between the flagstones of the payement, 'He realized that an electric cable had fused, and at onve apprised the fire brigade and the East Ham electric authorities, Fire engines and an escape and also leetrieiany were quickly on the spot, and when the current had been switch- od off every body but a few policemen left, thinking that all was safe. Such was far from being the case, Within Mr. Reed's establishment some remarkable scenes were taking place. The fumes of the burning cable had penetrated thickly into Mr. Reed's cellar, and were slowly filling every room in the house. The pet dog, which ordinarily sleeps peacefully on an old cushion under t shop counter, was the first to Hotie the fumes. 1t crept up to Mr. and Mrs, Reed's bedroom, and roused thew by barking and whining. The dog had never done such a thing before, and as it had lately been ill-it is sixteen years old--Mrs. Reed thought that it wag merely feeling restless, But no amount of coaxing, and even threatening, could make the dog go down stairs again. So Mrs. Reed rose, lit the gas, and awakened her husband. The dog then disappeared, and at the same mmstant Mrs. Willinms, who occupied a bed room on the next floor with her baby, was aroused, Mr. Reed ran down stairs and no- ticed a strange smell.
