Sif Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Wiifrid Laurier said Mr. Borden hal brought to the attention of the house one of the most important quesâ€" trons wwhich can engage its attention. On the Liboral side of the House they had ulways held in years past, and were proâ€" puared to held row. that the purity of vlections must be gnarded at nll costs and ut all huzards. 16 bad been the duty of the Literals, while sitting or the other shle ol the House, on more than one occasion to bring delinquencies in conâ€" and ns to which they thought the Govâ€" ermizent, composed as is was then, bad not done itself or the Houso full justice. The hon. gentleman bad trought up the question which involved facts in connecâ€" tion with the electiona nt West Huron and Brockville, With regard to the West I{furon election be was free to say nt once that, having heard the statement of Mr. Borden, which he understood that gentloâ€" man said he was prepared to substantiate upon his stanaing as a memher of the House, a prin facie case bed been mado out, which without hesitation must go before the committee on privilego: and clections . (Cheers.) With recard to Brockâ€" ville, the ease nade ont by Mr. Borden is very weak indecd, if indeed the hon. gentleman had rade out a case at all, but such is the sanctity of the ballot and the rights of the people who must be proâ€" tected, though the case made out was more than wenk, still the Government wonld not offer any objection to that cise ilâ€"o being referred to the committoe on privileges and eloctions. (Cheers.) He did not beffeyo he would say one single word more, he bad porformed all the duty which be was o.flml vpon to perâ€" {o‘m on that occasion. He would, howâ€" over, be permitted to make one remark. The hon, gentleman (Mr. Bordon) is & Jeading counscl and has gmined in the House a position which did him arnd‘* eote sSlLUt ) P0R ho. hun . DOM. + @iter®NMen "This could not occur," declared Mr. Borden, "without the intervention of the deputy returning officer." He mentioned muny cases of wrongdoing in the Brockâ€" ville election, He argued that the Govern ment could not fairiy fill buck on the plea that the subject sbould be denlt with by the courts. ‘‘Suppose thero were no petitions," sald he. "Suppose by arrangement between the candidates or some other method no petition was filed, does that relieve this House of the duty of investigating the conduct of its officâ€" jals? _ It is a questin of the dignity of the House, and sarely this Government is strong cnough to deal openly and fearâ€" leasly with the case." Mir. Borden read Mr. Macnish‘s stateâ€" ment in West Elgin, and be contended that the same frauds as were committed in West Elgin could have been made in West Huron and Brockville, because the same partics were"running the machine.‘‘ Xiinisters | were also responsible for the conduct of their officers, and he read Mr. W. T. R. Preston‘s tclegram to Macnish: day in possession of a Conservative memâ€" ber of Parliament, who will produce them in due time. In another polling division McLean. received 30 _ votes, though be bad in bis possession the aflidavits of 43 clectors who swore they deposited ballots for the Tery candidate. Mr. Borden produced aftiGaxits iilusâ€" trating specific cases of crovkedness on the part of some one. In Ward 8, Goderâ€" ich, for Instance, the count showed 40 bullots to bave been cast for Robert McLcan, the‘Conservative candidate. Ho, the speaker, bad in bis possession the afliduvits of between 50 and 60 electors, who swore that they had deposited balâ€" lots for MoLean at this same polling booth. At the sume poll the agent of McLcan swore to having picked up from the floor of the polling booth a ballot marked for the Conservative candidato. The attention of the deputy returning oflicer was called to it, wherenpon the latter tore it to pieces. Tho fragments were subsequently picked up, and are toâ€" Ottawa, July 7.â€"Yesterday afternoon Mr. Bad-fl-guhx), in accordance with notice, submitted his motion for the proâ€" duction of the papers in connection with the West Huron and Brockville elections. ‘The motion is preliminary to another, submitting to the committee on privileges and elections for investigation bis charges of irregularities in connection with the elections. The Premier without hesitation stated that a prima facle case bad been presented in the West Huron case, and ulthough the case was very, very weak in the Brockville matter, be readily conâ€" sented that this also should be investiâ€" gated, aftirming the determination of the Government to guard and preserve the sanctity of the ballot and the rights of the people. Sir Charles Tupper was rather more vigorous than usual in bis criticism of his opponents and. denunciation of their corruption, and Sir Rictard Cartâ€" wright, who followed, declared that the spectacle of Sir Cbarles Tupper denouncâ€" ing corruption was a spectacle he had not expected or boped to see. The House went into committee on the redistribuâ€" tion b.ll, further consideration of which was deferred until the next sitting. Mr. Corden‘s Motion. Nr. Borden of Halifax yesterday afterâ€" noun made his promised motion to comâ€" pel the clerk of the Crown in Chancery to appear before the bar of the House and produce poll books, etc., used in the byeâ€" elections of Weas Huron and Brockville. He cited many precedents for the course be was tiking now, among thein a motion made by James F. Lister in 1892. He recalled also the fact that Hon. Kdâ€" waurd Blake and Sir Jobn Macdonald agreed in 1875 that the House should not be deprived of power to investigate the conduct of returning offlcers and depuâ€" ties. He insisted that it was perfectly competent for the committec on privileges and elections to inquire into the conduct of the ofticials in Brockville and West Huron, "Jt is not.only the right of ‘this House to take action,"‘ be said. "it is its obvious duty. If a prima facie case of wropgdoing is made out, it is our duty to make the most searching inquiry." Sir Wilfrid Will Guard Sanctity of the Baillot.

My skin was almost yellow, eyes snnkâ€" en, tongtte coated, pain cootinually in back and sides, no appetite, gradually grewing weaker day by day. ‘Three physicians had given me up. _ Fortunâ€" ately a friend advised trying "Eleetric Bitters," and to my great joy and surâ€" prise, the first botte made i decided improvement, 1 continued their use for three weeks and am mow a well and three: Toads ofâ€"dirthad Teen dumped in after the child was supâ€" posed to have fallen in, the steam enâ€" gine was taken to the spot, the water pumped out, and a few minutes afterâ€" wards the little one was found a few inches under the dirt. Coronet Holmes decided that an inquest should he held. ‘The tink is an old one that was used for fire purposes before the town had water works. It was covâ€" ered with fong logs about a foot in diameter, some of which had been reâ€" moved to allow the filing up, and it was through the opening thus made that the litte one must have fallen, Om Saturday evening Katie Me.ean, aged nine, daughter of John MeLean, of Goderich, was missed from her home, _ There was a Jarge water tank near by that was being filled up, and a neighbor looked in and saw the child‘s hat floating on the water. As there wits considerable water in the tank and three: Toadsâ€"ofâ€"dirt had, heen dumped in after the child was supâ€" posed to have fallen in, the steam enâ€" gine was taken to the spot, the water and, being honest, wrote his friend to inform hrim of what had happened, offâ€" ering hipe#1,200 for it, â€" ‘The offer was ;u'lwm the stamp again changâ€" ed hfuds. â€" By this time the stamp had incfeased in vadue, and not a few eame from it distance to look at the treasure. tOme day in English nobleman, who through it Canadian friend had heard of the stamp. offered $1,500, which offer was accepted. _ ‘The English lord, Falling in love with an American heirâ€" ess, and wishing to gain the favor of her brother, presented him with the stamp is a token of his esteem. â€" Here, in its new and luxurious American home, it came to a sad end, for one day the maid, by mistake, swept the stamp which had aceidentally fallen out of the album, into the fire.

One of these stamps was sent to the Mamilton Postâ€"office, where it was seld to an old gentleman, who said it was a shame to print the Queen‘s picture on it stimp that might be handeled by profane â€" hands. â€" Tendrly the gentleâ€" man put it on a parcel, sending it to a friend in the United States. Here in the waste basket it lay for many aday, till an errandâ€"boy found it and quickly transferred it to his album. | Despairâ€" ing of getting a good eollection, and his fever for stamps somewhat abating, he sold them to a dealer. The new owner, on looking at the catalogue, found that what he had paid $5 for was worth $25. Accidentally this stamp was slipped into a 25â€"cent packet, and sent to a dealer vesiding in Hamilton.
