OCTOBER 29, 1883

What They Will Say. Aprkoros of the unseating of Mr G. W. Ross, of Middlesex, ou bribery by an agent, the Toronto Mail says i

account of

‘**As our Reform friends profess to be still suffering a severe spasm of virtue, the public may expect that their press will to- day review the West Middlesex election contest and consign Mr. G. W. Ross to} infamy for his connection therewith. The case in some respects resembles that of | Lennox. The Reform criticisms should therefore take the same line as those levelled at the Premier a fortnight ago.

“If they do, we shall be told that Mr. ! Ross is a bold corruptionist, and that the Reform party knew all the time that his profeasions of virtue were but a mask worn to cover his hideous and revolting misdeeds. Our local Grit contemporary will say—as it said regarding the Lennox case—that the work of the Election Court has been sharp and decisive, and that there was no un- earthing of corruption to be done, because it lay on the surface. It will regret—as it did with reference to the Lennox case— that all the charges against the re- spondent were not entered into, and it will add: ‘One can only wonder what state of affsirs would have been revealed had the Court continued its investiga- tion.’ Having insinuated that a great deal of corruption was practised by Mr. Ross of which the public will unfortunately now learn nothing, it will proceed to observe ~——as it observed when dealing with Sir John Macdonald—that Mr. Ross would have been personally disqualified had it not been for the magnanimity of his oppon- ents, who kindly refrained from producing the indisputable testimony they had in their possession regarding the personal acts of bribery Mr. Ross has committed.

“Then our contemporary, following the line of argument it adopted regarding Lennox, will assu.ne that Mr. Roas, if he had been placed in the witness-box, would have denied that he committed illegal acts. But it will insinuate as it insinuated in a most coatemptible manner regarding the Premier of Canada—that Mr. Ross’ state- ments on that point cannot be accepted, though he may makethem on oath. It will point out that Mr. Ross, as he was in the constituency while the election was in progress, musthave been personally cog- nizant of the corruption committed in his behalf, and that ‘no person’—to quote its words touching the Lennox case—‘how- ever charitable he may be, can bring him- self to believe otherwise.’ He will then abuse William Harper, Mr. Ross’ guilty agent, who offered $20 per vote, and will demand that he be instantly consigned to the penitentiary and expelled from re- spectable society.”

The Mail is wrong this time. They dido’t do anything of the kind They simply rolled up the whites of their eyes, elevated the standard of purity yet higher and said that the proceedings of Mr. Ross’s oribiog friend were “not those of a real friend.” As for Mr. Ross, himself, why he is purity and integrity incarnate. Pity he has for friends such very bad men !

The Spring Park Nuisance Case.

Particutars of the agreement forced upon the Charlottetown Woollen Factory Company are published in another column. In arriving at his ultimatum, the Magistrate was, of course, obliged to go strictly by the law, and without par- ticular reference to the important public interests involved; we cannot, therefore, blame him if his decision is calculated to injure materially the prospects of the town. But we do hope that the City Council will interfere to prevent the spread of the injurious idea that manu- factures can ouly be established in Char- lottetown at the risk of being closed or heavily handicapped at any momeni.

Had the nuisance complained of in this case been due solely to the factory, there would be good reason why the City should force the Factory Compapy

separate drain in order that the brook may be purified. But the owners of the brook have just as good—though perhaps, not so strong—grounds for action against the City Corporation itself as they have against the Company ; for the drainage of many streets and hundreds of houses in the city runs into it and tends to make the water unfit for use. This being the case the City Council onght, in the interest of the City, if not in justice to the Company, to step in aad make the drain which is required. and which their cflicer bas forced the Com- pany to agree to make.

The gentlemen who own the stream in question, require that the water shall be so pure that cows and even horses may drink it with impunity. And sup- pose that ove of them should—after the Company have made their drain—lead his cow or horse to the brook,and that the animal should refuse to drunk, or be seizea with colic after drinking— what would follow? Why an action against the City--whose drains lead to the brook and contaminate the water— of course !

Therefore, for the protection of the City itself, if not to remove the idea that manufactures are regarded as nuisances in Charlottetown, to be stamped oat or hampered, the Council should make the drain or sewer required, so that all the sewage would flow into it ; and the brook be undoubtedly as pure as when the Mic-Mac hunter, tired with the chase, rested on its banks and laved his temples

and quenched his thirst with its crystal drops. ’

British News Notes.

Sir Moses Mentefiore entered the hun- dredth year of his life on Wednesday last, and received many congiatulations from all parts of the world.

The Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Meiningen consulted with the Empress at Berlin in reference to the rupture between the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and the Duke of Edinburgh, caused by the latter’s refusal to be present at a ball given by the former unless certain persons were expelled. The Empress promised to act as mediator and as far as possible eradicate any ill-feeling between the two.

The London Law Journal understands that when Parliament meets Gladstone will propose that Sir Henry James, Attorney General, be made Speaker of the House of Commons, in place of Sir Henry Bouverie William Brand, the present Speaker, who is to resign; that Sir Farrer Herschell, Solicitor General, succeed Sir Henry James as Attorney General; and Horace Dorey, M. P. for Christ Church, or Charles Russell, M. P. for Dundalk, succeed Herschell as Solicitor General.

Lord Derby, Colonial Secretary for Eng- land, has written a letter to General Masiner, the chief promoter of the New Guinea Exploration and Colonization Com- pany, emphatically protesting against further encroachments upon the rights of the inhabitants of that Island. He calls attention to the fact that the Min- istry, on several previous occasions con- demned the project of annexing any of the South Pacific Islands to Australia, or ir any manner assuming to establish a con- trol of these islands at variance with the present system of government. If General Musmer persists in the forcible seizure of any of the specified territory or in any manner disregards the rights of the natives or colonists now occupying these places, even though such operation may be conducted under the British flag and os- tensibly in the British interests, the Gov- ernment will at once instruct the British commissioner and commander of the West- ern Pacific squadron? to interfere and foxc- ibly put down any further movement toward the prosecution of the scheme. This will be done, says Lord Derby, so effectively as to discourage any further attempts toset at defiance the expressed policy of the Home Government.
