So far as -we can see they sdvsnce nothing in favor of the continu- e anoe of theGrand Jury that has not been met and` demolished by arguments against this. relic of a by-gone age. None of them have referred to Senator Gowan a arguments and 5 reasonings. Though Judge Gowsn was merely a County Court judge, he has proved himself to be one of the most learned jurists in Ontario and one whose opinion on anyqueation per- tainingto our criminal procedure `is en-` titled to the respect. A nrr.-u._; mg- `Ils__9 . - ' Hon:(V)liver lldoat, Attorney-General. of Ontario puts himself out of court in the case. The circular of the Minister of Justice acted on the little premier like the proverbial red rag. He sniffed immediate- ly something unconstitutional and adanger to prov iucial rights, and declared that the majority of the Ontario Government con- sidered the abolition of Grand Juries is not within the authority of the Dominion Parliament. It is clear that Attorney- General, Mowat, does not consider the question on its merits. ._ --- - vwv-unvna Judge Hughes says :-``.The n Honorable Senator Gowan from his long experience of nearly forty years and my own obser- vation after an experience of thirty-seven years in the discharge of the duties of coun- ty `judges in the counties of Simcoe and Elgia respectively, have given each of us a wide eld, of observation, such as few men have had the advantage of. and I must say, without reserve, I entirely airm all that Senator Gowan has advanc- ed on the subject. '7 V 'rr,_, An In - --- ` -- -_ `._-v---_ Judge Chadwick remarks:-A-I refrain from enlarging upon the reasons for my opinions, because the subject has been so fully and ably treated by Senator Gowan in his address durinar the session of 1889 (which I have just re-read) and I cannot say more than that I fully concur in all that was said by him on that occasion, a 1' 1 T'I' i We liave Qei-"Kid's --lolu.bt of Mr. Morgan s superior abilities, but we are perry to say that we have but small faith in his methods of reporting, or in the wise dam of his , style of dealing with teachers. We protest against. the 1nspector s profession of satisfaction with ' a teacher s work. and a_ pro. fusion of Ghestereldian courtesy almost to a kiss, and then deliberately stabbing the teacher by reporting alleged failures. in his school room about which he never uttered an objection when impacting, nor oered a word of advice or counsel, to correct what" he reports to be wrong, ' ., ,-`_--_- Judge Deacon ' says _:- -` `I ma y, perhaps, be excused from entering into further details, when I say that having carefully considered the views presented to the Senate by the Hon. Senator Gowan in February, 1889, I am in full accord with him, and do not think his arguments have been or can be successfully controverted, and I trust these yiews will at an early period obtain a favorable recognition by all parties, and result in the desired change ot procedure. ` The action taken in this matter by the Minister of Justice is no doubt proximate- lv due to Hon.` Senator Gowan s arraign- ment of the Grand Jury System in his `celebrated speech in the Senate over tvro years ago. In all the replies of those who are`opposed to the abolition of the Grand Jury there is nothing to destroy the force of the arguments of Senator Gowan on that occasion. A number of the judges have-referred to that speech:-- V v n.-- ' - For V the benet of those who take ' an interest in this question andwho do not have the opportunity of seeing the govern- ment blue books, we give the names in another column of all the judges who` are in favor of the abolition of the_G1-and Jury and all who oppose it-,as well as those who are in doubt. V The Minister of Justice in his circular says, the subject hasbeen brought` to the attention of parliament on several occasions _ and intimations have from time to time been made` to the goverment by municipal bodies, judges and others interested in criminal jurisprudence, that the abolition would be in the public _interest."_ A ' One hundred end one returned answers" to the circular; forty"-eight of which were in ffvor of .ab9l ition, forty-one againetit I and twelve were doubtful. ` t .

Whether the cause A be one or many, the lessons can not be mistaken. More attention must be paid to sanitary conditions. There must be constant clean- liness both of person and surroundings. If that abomination, the privy pit, `must be retained, then constant use of disin- fectants and deodorants shouldabe insisted on. One person's ignorance or careless- ness may at any time result in an epidemic suiciently virulent to declmate the 'town s population. ` SANITARY. We regret to say that a number of our people are suffering from a species of ma- larial fever What is the causeor causes weare unable to say. `This summer there has "been a greatdeal of digging for sew- erage purposes, which has exposed the earth containing much of the material of other days that had sunk into the soil, but whether this has had anything to do with these fevers or not we will not pre- tend to say. In one part of the town, not- withstanding the care Aandmpvigilance of the Health Inspector, sources of disease were found in lthy privy pits. Four cases of sickness may fairly be presumed to hav originated from this. ` ' _I.{;v`:_'8':'c;piI_`- -u-`:>t: ;l."J. ii. pp Here are two of Mr, Mowat s ofcials: lnon~reside`nts of the town setting at deance the protest `of a resident com- missioner and the expressed will of the peo- ple at a large public meeting and practically telling them to go to hades and all this -to satisfy the demands of party interests.

I _' --v c We make "no apology for Mr. .Moran for any neglect of duty, or any alleged short-comings, but we will not stand quietly by and permit the Inspector to `hound him or any other teacher to death, without affording him an opportunity for defence and a chance of getting fair play.

Thirty-seven election trials are to be heard in the Province of Ontario before the 16th of January next ' Of this num- ber 26 are against candidates elected last March to support Mr. Laurier and eleven are against Conservatives. Some of the protests on both sides will probably be dropped, and other cases may not succeed. A candidate has less scope under the Do- minion Election Act than under the Pro- vincial. and no doubt many of the present members will be unseated. Two or three of the protested seats held by Conserva- tives were carried by narrow majorities and may be lost to the party, while on the other hand a great many Reformers, whose elections are protested, won by the skin of their teeth, and will no . doubt have to make way for Government supporters. On the whole, the Oouserva- ' tives stand a clianceof gaining at least eight saatsin Ontario, which will mean sixteen on a division-in the House. Pro- tests in the other provinces will give the Government similar advantages, and the a probability is that when Parliament again meets Mr. Abbott will have a majority of '40 or more.---Exchai_igs. _'.-'.-..-a can..- Mercier s policy, and Mr. Meroier has been returning the compliment, while Pccaud has played chorus. and Treasurer for both.

Murphy and Bob McGreevy told before the the Com- mittee on Privileges and Elections how they conspired together to rob the Domin- ion Treasury. Mr. Pacaud treats the af- fair quite as a matter of course, and does not appear capable of either feeling, or pretending to feel, any shameat the in- famous part he played.

The `ma; -le'gislatu r'e e_limin-' ated this feature, ind` now the initials of clerk are not placed upon the ballot. The voting" now is really secret, and there is no chance of discovering how. an elector has `voted. With an honest returning -officer there could be no serious objection` to initialing e ballots. If he were to sign his initia without sinister intent, we do not see how the fact of signing would . lead to discovery. g` The danger would lie in the retugiing oicer adding some arbitrary sign by which afterwards that- particular vote might be identied. But that is altogether dierent from having the ballot numbered as it is in Ontario Local elections In this case, the number on the ballot correspond to a number on the voter : `list. The returning oicer knows the number of every man, and his ability to trace the way in which certain men may have voted is only limited by the number of persons he could carry in his mind. By this means an infamous system of espionage is notoriously and confessedly carried on in this city and elsewhere. Each man who iabeholden to the Government in any way, for an oice or a license, or who may have the promise of some favor on condition of turning his political coat, is given to understand that he can be easily spotted by means of the number on his ballot, so that he need not think to play fast and loose with im- punity.
