Friday, Aug. 7th, 1896. Dominion Ballot Act. In a recent number of the Globe there was a letter from Judge Barrett in an- swer to an article (copied from the Chesley Free Press into the Globe) re- specting his recount iu the North Bruce election. The Globe says that the Judge’s explanation completely frees him from any possible blame, and we give a part of it showing that the in- structions relative to the marking of the Dominion ballot have been so mixed and muddled that it is exceedingly easy for the electors to spoil them, and diffi- cult for the judges, in the case of a recount, to decide which to accept and which to reject: ” If you will turn to the act in thclast revised Dominion Statutes you will find it there provided that a voter is to place his cross in the compartment of the ballot containing the name of the can- didate for whom he votes. and in the schedule of the act you will find in the directions to voters, which is to be posted at- the polling places, that. the voter is to place his cross in that. compartment. The act- was amended introducing the present ballot, with the disc for the cross, but the wording of the amendment was such that a cross put in the disc or in the compartment was proper, and no amendment of the schedule directing the voter to put his cross in the disc was made, and the section was again amended providing that the cross should be put in the disc. But even then no amendment was made in the schedule directing the voter to put his cross in the disc, and by, that schedule be was still directedto put his cross in com- partment, so that when the election took place the body of‘ the not directed the voter to put. his cross in the circular space opposite the candidate's name for whom he voted, and the directions to voters to be posted at the polling place directed himto. place his cross in the compartment where the candidate’s name was for whombe wishcd‘to vote. On a rc-count of votes the Judge cannot. take oral evidence, so that whether the act was complied with as to the directions to voters provided for by the schedule of the act. or by other directions issued by the Government contrary to that schedule but in accordance with the body of the act, I was judiciously ig- norant. and as the body of the act said the cross was to be in the one place and the schedule directed it to be put in another, I held that either place would be proper, and as that decision undoubt- edly gave effect to the intention .oF the voter it also gave effect to the intention of the act. which was to have elected ‘the man for whom the greater number of ballots were cast.” _ Election Protests. On Saturday ten election petitions were filed at Osgoode Hall, every one of the protested seats being held by Con- servatives;_and Monday, the lastday for protests, passed-without any more being entered. Throughoutthe whole of Ontario no attempt is being made to unseat a Liberal, and. so few in the other provinces that the result of the total number of'clection trials can hard- ly fail to add, at least slightly, to Mr. Lauricr’s majority. Greatly to the dis- appointmentand indignation of many Liberals in this riding, Sam Hughes is to bc allowed to retain for another five years the scat that he never fairly won. The majority he obtained over Mr. Barron was, as nobody has ever denied in our hearing, bought for him by the Hon. John Haggart; his “victory” in June last was obtained by as barcfaccd and wholesale bribery as could po<sibly have been practised in any constituency in the whole Dominion. No one ac- quainted with the influences brought-to bear in Sam’s behalf has much doubt that he would‘havc been disqualified, and no doubt. at all that he would have been unsealed, if his election had been protested ; but the Conservatives played a bluff game. and played it successfully, by threatening to protest the election of: three or four Liberals if Sam Hughesl were molested. and, rather than incur- the turmoil. trouble and cxpcusc that would inevitably result, the political ” powers that be " in North Victoria decided, at. the eleventh hour, not to enter a protest, although the amount of! the required depisit had been raised l with very little trouble. Many of our: readers will look upon the arrangement as a sacrifice of principle to expediency. but such sacrifices are constantly made, and, unpalatable as it is, we can only grin and bear it. The Forestry Movement. welfare of the country than the appro- ciation of the principles of practical forestry in the management of our tim- ber resources. Older nations have long since been compelled by the necessities of the case to take stringent measures for preserving the forests from destruc- tion, and Canadians should be wise enough to profit by their experience, without waiting for the worst evils caused by deforestation. The annqu report of Mr. Thomas Southworth, Clerk of Forestry, just received, con. tains a great deal of valuable informa- tion on the subject. It presents a com- prehensive review of the progress of the science of forestry, and the more import- ant: developments of the movement in the United States and elsewhere. The problem in Ontario is dealt with at. length, and some conclusions presented which show the question in a new light and tend to remove many popular mis- cOncepti'ons. Mr. Southwonth has no sympathy with the view that forests should be kept untouched by the axe. He points out that. thetrue economical policy is to grow trees wherever- they can be grown better» than any other. crop. and to maintain perpetual reserves on the comparatively sterile broken soil that. is unfit for farming purposes. But he would treat timber as a crop. to. be harvested” when mature. care being taken, however, toensure its reproduc- tion. Farmers. will find much in. the report to interest and instruct them re- garding the utilization of waste lands by tree planting. Many facts and sta- tistics are given in connection with lumbering, pulp making and wand man- ufactures, showing what kindsof timber- are valuable for manufacturing purposes or likely to become so. The observance of Arbor Day in the schools and the effect of clearing the forests on the water sup-. ply are dealt with. Amongthe contents of the reports are carefully prepared special articles on the cultivation and economic value of some forest trees, by Mr. A. Kirkwood of the Crown L‘ands. Department, and a well'writtcn descrip- tion of Algonquin Perle by Mr; T. Mi, Gibson. Anyone desirous of obtaining a copy cfrthe report can do so by send. ing his name and address to Mr.» T‘hos. Southworth, Bureau of Forestry, Pal:- liament Buildings, Toronto. Centagious Opthalmia... During the last three weeks numerous. reports regarding diseased cattle have been in circulation, and-about ten days ago a gentleman living in the affected locality reported the nature of the dis- ease to Dr. Mason of this village. From the symptoms given, the doctor believed it to be of acontagious character, and on Monday and Tuesday of last week he made an investigation and.foundihis supposition verified. is known as contagious ophthalmic, and is very prevalent in a portion of Eldon. In fifteen herds visited by the doctor he found 116 diseased animals, and the owners of some farms in the locality that were not. visited-forwantwof time have since reported that their cattle have contracted the disease. There are Only three farms affected in Fenclon as far as Dr. Mason knows, but fear is entertained that. it may spread. The isolation of the animals was ordered, and the facts. together with the history of the outbreak, forwardedto the Min- ister of Agriculture, audit. is to-be hoped that the necessary measures will be taken to have it stamped out.
