County Agent of the Children's Aid Society of the County of Grey is evidently not neglect- ing the Southern part of the county. On Thursday of last week he was in town investigating a case where it is alleged the children are neglected and brought up under improper influences. The children in question are three il- legitimate daughters of one Billings, now away from the vicinity while the children are left to the care of their grandmother. Evidence was given by Jane Billings, the grandmother. “'m. Billings, an uncle. and Mrs. “'m. Hazen and Mrs. Christopher Hazen. aunts of the chil- fi'en. and went to show that the ”ndmother was not capable of bring- ing them up properly, besides the in- tent-e of the oldest girl was damag- hg to their moral well being.

The two younger girls, Mary and Mable. aged 7 and 4 respectively had their cases considered before Mayor McIntyre and Justice B. \V. Mockler. In a brief interview with Mr. Ladi- grd we learn that he has a high ap- yl'eciation of Chief Constable Carson 'ho. he lays, in one of the heat sup- porters he has in the whole district, being ready under all circumstances to tender what assistance he can in the moat kindly way. The children were "moved to Owen Sound. To report such castes as the above is nu pleasure to us. Our great regret is that such misery exists. and we regret all the more because of our belief that bdoleuce and neglect are too often the «use.

All of the bal- lots were cast at one polling place, and were counted for Mr. Boyd. No ob- jection to them was made by Mr. Mac- Kay’s representative at the polling place, and the only mark then seen on the face of any of them was the cross opposite Mr. Boyd’s name. The bal- lots, it appears, were not put in an envelope, but were placed unenclosed in the ballot box, and remained in this condition until after they were receiv- ed by the returning officer at Owen Sound. The discovery of the crosses in Mr. MacKay’s compartment was made on the recount before the county judge. The ballots were thrown out by the judge, who said that, in his opinion, they had been tampered with, but stated, rightly no doubt, that he had no power to investigate, but must deal with the ballots as he found them. Mr. MacKay was declared elected by a majority of five; had,these four bal- lots been counted for Mr. Boyd the majority for Mr. MacKay would have , been one. p.1rti1 s.

A course similar to the one taken by a Liberal Government against ballot manipulators working on behalf of the Conservative party should be take 11 by the Ontario Government against a manipulatox 01 manipulators opex ating on behalf of the Liberal‘ pal ty. Yet the Gov e1 mnent instead of taking this course, merely sends up an old gentleman to make inquiries. As well might soldiers be sent to fight with blank cartridges. For the crimes committed in West Elgin and North \Vaterloo not a single individual was :punished. \Ve cannot afford to let the same result follow in Neath Grey. Ballot manipulation is one of the most dangerous crimes it is possible to com- mit against the State. The import- jance of punishing it rises above all ;party considerations. and all the re- sources of the Province should be used and used with the utmost vigor, to secure the punishment of the wrong- doer. ' ' ! i The only possible supposition upon which it could be held that the crosses in Mr. MacKay’s compartment were placed there by the voters themselves was that four men at one polling place desired to nullify their votes, and that each adopted the same. method to do it. This, of course, is out of the ques- tion. Judge Morrison had no hesita- tion in expressing his opinion that there had been fraud, and we fail to see how any other opinion could be held. Between the closing of the poll and the recount before the judge there is no doubt the ballots were tampered with. To EDITOR up CHRONICLE: SlR,â€"T0 any one taking an interest in the affairs of our town, it is plain that a great deal of money has been spent in litigation which could be more profit-ably used in improving our town. Cases arise in- which it is difficult to keep out. of litigation and the Town is now confronted with one of them, and it isthis: two of our citizens and one of our churches refuse to pay the As to the illegality, I am not pre- pared to express an opinion, but gen- eral dissatisfaction existed regarding the quality of the work. \Vhilst many were dissatisfied, all paid except the parties mentioned. The contract- era are now paid, so that in the event of trouble it would be between citizens and the Town. Now the question arises, can there he concessions madc- to the dissatisfied whereby litigation would be avoided ? I don’t think it would be fair to others interested. that there should he, as the quality of the other sidewalks built the same year is similar to the disputed sidewalks. A neighboring Church has puid its frontage tax and if concessions were made to one, they should be Inflow Oll w} and the. result THE NORTH GREY BALLOTS. (From the Weekly Sun.) TOWN LITIGATION. It is to he hoped the street car strike in Toronto will not he suflieiently pro- longed to demoralize the trade of the city and otherwise injure the reputa- tion of Ontario’s metropolis. The strikers claim they are fighting for a principle and think the citizens will be in sympathy with them to such an ex- tent that they will win in the end.

In conclusion, I might say, that I think it would be more prudent for the dissatisfied to pay the frontage tax although dissatisfied, and thereby stop any more contention. For a short time the citizens may view the justice of their claim, lmt the bulk of humanity doesn’t care a rap for the laboring faction or any other class, only so far as they can benefit the community. Business stagnation will soon bring the sympathizing citi- zens to their senses, and the reinstate- ment of the service will be their first desire no matterwho gains in the fight. The more intelligent portions of the citizens can hardly look on very sym- pathically inasmuch as the initial move of the company, without much pressure, made a concession which should have been fiairly satisfactory to the employees. ’15 mgm SUVER AND N DNf’YS BOWEIâ€"s’ @J ERNIAEQSYRVE @ The offer made by the company in- creased the pay roll for the service by $79,000 a year, but the introduction of a “Grievance Clause” by which the employees could sit in judgment on the Company’s action in case of dis- missal, and the further demand that the Union should be recognized were the rocks upon which the split occur- red. Strikes are altogether too com- mon, and the attitude of the strikers in all cases is not calculated to heal the breach between capital and labor, inasmuch as the labor unions want not only to dictate prices for their services but to control the company as well. and thus become masters instead of servants. ' The hot-headed element in all labor- ing organizations. seem to be found mostly among the younger class, par: ticularly those having little or no de- pendance upon them for support. Men with homes and families are not so quick to fight against their bread and butter, but in_ the case under con' sideration, whether through fear or intimidation the move was nearly unanimous. The rioting scenes in To- ronto on Sunday were a disgrace, but it is to be hoped that tranquility will soon be restored, and traffic resumed. v v “"R‘Nc/ 0N V0» VOOKY (I (07‘ CAL, 5(Q 9 NR. 1 ton SALE av n'u onuoastsigtc: 50c.PtR 60m; The unfairness of the so-called prin- ciple of unionism is, we think, put very plainly in the last issue of the Saturday Night. It says: “Admit- tedly labor has as much right to or- ganize itself and to act as a unit as capital has to present a solid front to wage workers, provided, of course. that the organization of each and the laws governing each are founded on the same principle of responsibility. The laws of all English-speaking coun- tries are based on the liability of the employer to pay his employees, to use remarkable care in protecting the lives and health of employees. and to util- ize every precaution to prevent accid- ents happening to those who are em- ployed. The influence of wage-earn- ers as voters is so great that laws governing almost every possible con- tingency have been made in their ftVOl': capital being responsible, and being indeed a favorite thing for ““8' BUY THE GENUINE -MAN'F'D BY THE STREE CAR STRIKE. CITIZEN. ents to attack, stands out as a tnmg which, though it may make a stout r9 sistance, must in the end pay for its misdemeanors. Labor, on the other hand, is organized to coerce capital as well as to protect the laborer. Where unionism is powerful it tells the em- ployer who shall be employed, it dic- tates the hours of Work, and the amount of pay. But it is not respon- sible. * * ‘ Unions give member- ship tickets to thousands and tens of thousands of incompetent people who mightébe dangerous opponents in time of a strike. They are not/examining bodies to judge of the fitness, length of apprenticeship, sobriety, honesty or industry of the men they force upon employers. If through carelessness of a union workman a large quantity of 1 goods gin process of manufacture is; destroyed, if valuable machinery is in-1 jured or ruined by culpable carelessness of a man with a union card, or if the man be slothful, incompetent, or neg- ligent of his employer’s interests the union is not responsible. Unlike cap- ital the union cannot be attacked at lawâ€"on this side of the Atlantic at least. Damages caused by a union man cannot be collected from the or- ganization to which he belongs, while capital if careless of the lives or well being of employees. can be so attacked and at the hands of ordinary juries is i generally heavily mulcted. This, I consider, an unfair division of respon- sibility, and until unions, financially and otherwise, assume responsibility for those they force upon employers they have no right to claim that a fight for the recognition of unionism as at present constituted is a fight for prin- , ciple.” The Clarkshurg Reflector tries to be- little the North Grey ballot irregulari- . ties and explains the matter by getting his gigantic intellect to imagine that " some persons thought it Would be a clever thing to give one camlidate a big vote. and the other a little one.” Now isn’t this a cleVer solution in the journal of the Grit organizer, Duncan Marshall, who spent his precious wind in this constituency four years ago, in the interest of the Patron party. Mr. Marshall has run the political gamut; pretty well, and if he hasn’t struck every note. he is “ ready to change without notice ”just as soon as the op- portunity presents itself. Another piece of Marshalliau gush is shown when he says “The startling reports in the \Vorld and Mail frightened some people for a while, but those who know these papers best rarely take them seritmsly.” \Ve hope The Reflector man isn’t so struck on himself as to imagine the “ Reflector” is the only paper to be taken seriously, and when it is now known that very damaging evidence has been brought out in the a North Grey case we presume even Mr, ‘ Marshall will “ change without notice” and take a more sensible view of the situation. We do not for a moment think that the rank and file of the Liberal party is in sympathy with the infamous ballot manipulation that for the past four or five years is bringing our country into disrepute, and if the neWSpapers haven’t the power and the manliness to condemn political theft, We don’t know who has. In every case, we think, it. is fair to be honest. and it’s honest to be fair. We know scores of Liberais who have the manli- ness to admit that there’s something wrong, and that the wrong to all ap- pearances at least is the work of some miserable Grit political heeler who wants to grind his own axe, and doesn’t care a fig for the rights of the electors. We like to see a man honest and we also like to know where to find him in politics as well as in re‘ ligion. LATER. Since the foregoing was in type the difficulty has been amicably settled, both the, Company and employees making some concessions. EXECUTRIX’S NOTICE TO CREDI- TORS.
