v The death of 'Sifiiq. D, Edgar, fifi‘gpeaker of the House QT/(r'lqmmons, Instances of this have been so enumerous this session that any one ‘can readily recall a numberâ€"Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper’s vbasel-ess accusations against the Minister of 1the Interior and CommiSsioner Ogilvie, Commissioner Walsh, Gold *Commissioner Fawcett, CrOWn At- torney Wade, and a score beside; Opposition Whip Taylor’s abomin~ able slander of the Premier; Colonel ‘Hughes’ charges against his late op- ponent, Mr. McLaughlin of Lindsay, and many others of like-nature, “where” the most absolute refutation- has been forthcoming, and the tra- ducers themselves compelled to ad- mit that their charges were unfound- ed and that they had no sufficient ground upon which to base them. A very undesirable feature which has been creeping into Canadian politics during the last year or two, is the manner in which charges are made against political opponents, and accepted as true without the “slightest attempt at proof. The fundamental principle of British justice, viz., that a man is innocent until he is proved guilty, is appar; ently never thought of, but so long as any paper or speaker can be found to make a charge, no matter how improbable or even outrageous, "solong there can be found the crowd who will repeat and echo the story, not as an allegation, but as an un- doubted fact. This exceedingly ob- jectionable process is carried to the «utmost limits of safety outside of Parliament, but it is kept in cheek '1 ya wholesome respect for the law ‘df criminal libel. ' Within the walls of Parliament, however, there is not 5this wholesome deterrent to curb the ’unbridled tongue, and unfortunately *there are members Whose self-respect Sand sense of Parliamentary dignity ‘does not appear sufficiently strong to ~cause them to control their partisan animosity. EICHMOND’ HILL. August Tn addition to this there have been any number of instances where all' kinds of crookedness have been charged against reputable citizens in connection with the elections, and so forth, and every charge Was at once ~accepted as if 'fully proven in the face of the most explicit denial- frem the accused,‘and before any attempt has been made to produce proof. These are most unworthy tactics, harmful alike to those engaging in ’them and to the general credit and reputation of our common country. Such a course of Conduct is imparting .a: personal: bitterness into political life which is most deplorable and a determined eifort to discourage a continuance thereof would be worthy of our public men and journals of .every shadey 313M Segment. J:punity there‘would be less of it; done. A DEPLORABLE INNOVATION. "Two lacrosse players of the St. 'Catharines team have been committ- ed to stand their trial at the fall as- sizes, for assaulting one of the Orangeville players during and after a match recently played. If it can be clearly proven that the accused have been guilty of the offence charged tlfysshould be severely pun~ ishédiflf}70unding; each other on the lacrosse field is far too common, and should be discouraged. No other :game has ever been so lgpopular in Canada, but it is safe to say that no other game has brought to the front so much ruffianism. If it were :shown that opponents in the game eannot strike each other with im- «New Advertisements. CHARGE OF ASSAULT. 3, 1899 nymrminica‘tions were read from ‘MI'. J. \V. F0111an asking the.
