Protection in Great 'Britain The Empire goes to [the trouble of wiiting a long article, based on a circular issued by the "National Association for the Preservation of Agriculture and our other Indus- tries," iu Great Britain, to'show -that _ere lung a protective policy will require to be•introduced to pre- serve English manufacturer,: fl•um the competition. of foreign rivals, and to assist the English farmer. The real intention of the Empire article is not so rnuch to spew the necessity of protection in Eng- land, as to convey the idea that protection must be maintained in Canada, and if the leading organ knows anything whatever of the trend of public sentiment in the old country, it would know that a pro- tective tariff, as we in Canada un- derstand it, would be almost an absolute impossibility in England. The Empire cannot name a lead- ing English politician who is to -day in favor of protection, and why, be- cause, unlike Canadian or Ameri- can politicians, they have studied the subject of political ecunomy,and know that the system of protection is wrong in principle, and contrary to the best interests of the masses. It may be true that in some lines of manufacture, Englishmen are be- ing distanced by foreign competition, but what is the reason: simply be- cause the latter are more enterpris- ing than their staid, easy-going 't brethren across the sea, because they aro willing to adapt themselves to the eves -changing circumstances of trade, while English manufac- turers prefer to remain just' the same as they were years ago., Any man of intelligence knows that business .is carried on differently to- day to what it was years ago, and the successful business man is the one who keeps himself abreast of the times, • changing when changes are required. The man who does cane is left behind not change It is even so with manufacturers. Skil- led labor is just as cheap in Eng- land as in America, and therefore, the manufacturer in the former country should have an advantage over the latter. Protection will never be adopted in England, as adopted here, and the Empire may just as well use its space for some other purpose than upholding a system which, in the nature of affairs, is only tern- orary, and must be 'altered to suit e ever-changing conditions of busi, ness, • Now that stoJk-raising has be• conic one of • the leading industries of this section, farmers should agi- tate for the repeal of the duty on Amertican corn. The duty does no good whatever, corn is the best and cheapest grain food for cattle that can be obtained and can never be raised in Canada as easily as jn the States, because of the difference in .climate. }.very aaQ 41.14,14,0-940,- *a in riizt the ob'egtid�t thtlt if Ws. or p a that plan of pihl c policy is adopted • direct taaation must be T ram tad to, and the idea is sought -to be con- veyed onveyed that such a method of rais- ing revenue is as much to be ab - "bored as the small -pox. All Muni- cipal taxes are raised directly, and there is not a set of councillors in the Province of Ontario that dare ask for them to be collected indi- rectly, and at the same time seek re-election. The people would not stand indirect taxation in muni- cipal affairs, and were it not for prejudice acid custom they would not stand it at all. We have fre- quently asked those papers that op- pose diract taxation, to define their position, and give us a logical rea- son for the continuance of a system that is radicallty wrong in principle, but so far have never seen the ac- ceptance of that challenge. If di - i -act taxation is wrong as applied to the collection of Dominion revert- uea, why is it,right when applied to the collection of I►1 utticipal rev- enues' 411M1.• There is a no more zealous sup• porter of the government and- its policy than the London Free Press, (rhe reasot, of which is explained I in the Puhlie Accounts) and ,just e .when it has on full Bail and is do nuuncing;, as traitors, all those who hold diverse views en this matter, the Advertiser checks its wind by printing a "free trade" and "greater economy in government" resolution, moved by the self -same editor of the Free Press some years ago.

It is allsged that a lead mine has been discuve.red on the mountain about 8 miles south of Hamilton. The death sentence of Thomas, Newton, the Winnipeg murderer, has been cowmutteu toe f inprisormeat. Emigration from England is ex petted to be heavy this week again, especially in the direction of Canada. Ten cents an acre was all a farm of 954 acres brought rec. ntly in Greene county, Ala., when sold under mort- gage. A true bill has been brought in at Quebec against Mr Creighton of To. ronto Empire, for libel against Mr. Mercier. In the British House of Commons recently the bill to legalise marriage with a deceased wife's sister was car- ried by 239 to 182. F',urteeu years for that Chatham dynatuite- was not a year too much. Such cowardly would-be assassins slioolil he 0..hgtyn no mercy. A report from .„North' Bruce says that it is not likely Mayor Biggard M. P. P. for that riding, will ever be atron6 enough to take his seat in the Legislature, Robert Van Brunt, better known as 'Happy Bob," or " Salvation Bob," was hanged on Friday morning at Warsaw,New York, for the murder of William,Roy in October, 1886.

She was 48 years old. . At the Kent Assize Court Judge McMahon sentenced Wm Thornton to two months' imprisonment for per- jury. This was a case growing out of the West Kent electionpell'o n,when 'Choronton swore he received money for his vote from the Conservative candidate, Henry Smyth. Three of the violators of the Scott Act, at Kingston, two women and one man,having refused to pay their fines have been sent to the Napanee jail Each of the women I•as twin children and as they are accompanied by nurses the jail has the appearance of a child- ren's hospital. Toronto legal circles are talking about the absence from that city of George H. Stephenson, formerly of the firm of Stephenson, Dickson & Taylor, barristers. He has not been seen there since Monday, and it is said that -he is now in Kansas City. He is said to be mixed up' in an indebtedness to the Central Bank of $30,000. In the presence of hundreds of peo- ple on one of the busiest thorough- fares in Chicago, Simon Rosenfield, a travelling salesman, stabbed (himself to the heart on Saturday afternoon and fell to the sidewalk dead. He was talking with two friends, nether of whom suspected his intention or knew the cause of the act. The trial of the criminal list. at the Kent Assizes was concluded ou Fri- day, some severe sentences being pas- sed' by Mr Justice McMahon. A Michigan man got five leers for for- gery, a burglar received seven years and Robert McDonald, convicted of barb -burning, was sent to the peni- tentiary for ten years. A Cumberland, N.S., farmer- writes to the Canadian Farmers! Adocate that farm property has decreased ie value in both Nova Scotia and N w Brunswick during the last ten years and that a great many holdings have been vacated by their owners. "In my opinion," adds the writer, "we will never revive until we can a 'cure full reciprocal trade with the L'pited States. Such an emancipation cannot be expected while the Dominion is run in the interests of the "combines,' as it will eentinue to be so long as the pre- sent Administration holds power, NEWS NOTES. W. A. Cameron, teller of the Winnipeg branch of the Union Bank of Lower Canada, fled to Da- kota after having taken funds of the bank to the amount, it is said, of over $30,000. He was arrested at Pembina. The Victoria (B.C.) Times of the 10th says:—"Mr J.

P.,whom he had not seen for 20_ years. As may be imagined the greeting was! a cordial one. Thomas E. O'Callagham, merchant, London, brought suit at the Division court against Wm.Avey to recover $2. It was shown that O'Callagham made a bet with one more of $20 on a boat race and the $2 wasut upin s b hands as a forfeit if the bet was not covered. The bet never was covered by the plaintiff, and although the race was won by the man he backed, Avey confiscated the $2 and handed it over to Moore. Judge Robinson who heard the case, dismissed it, holding that Avey had simply disposed of the forfeit as it was'intended he should, There was a sad scene on Satur• day evening at the house of Mr John Berry, London. The young- est son, Walter, who bad been ab- sent three years, arrived home from Wisconsin, where be had been en- gaged in railroading, reaching his father's house at 7 a. m. He was suffering from sickness at the time, and was at once cared for by his friends. He appeared in good spirits, however, and laughed and chatted with those around him up till 8 o'clock hi the afternoon, when he grew rapidly worse, and at 7 o'clock in the evening lie died. A Liberal who perjured himself in connection with the Kent elec- tion, has been sentenced to a short term of imprisonment therefore,and the Empire, alluding to the case, seems to expect that the Liberal papers should rush to his defence. Fortunately the Liberal pipers have better sense than to do a thing of that kind. While they regret to see one of their own party so far forget his obligations to society, they are not in the habit of condon- ing offences thus committed and condemning them if clone by an opponent. Speaking for ourselves, we will never object to a man hear- ing the responsibility for his own acts, no matter what his politics, and when this principle is more Mr Ogan, whilst in the wash room of the Royal hotel, Stratford, laid his purse on a stand, and went out forgetting to take it up. In a few minutes he discovered his loss and a search was instituted, but the purse could not be found. Suspi- cion rested on Edward Courtis, of T oronto, who was the last person seen entering the room after Ogan went out. Chief Harrington was detailed to work the case up, and captured Courtis as he was board- ing the train for Toronto , He took him to the police station and Courtis disgorged his ill-gotten boodle, which consisted • of $700 in money and in notes. At Owen Sound, on Friday, Mr Wi C May, the prop, ictor of a board.ng house, was brought before Police Magistrate Spencer, on a charge of keeping liquor for sale, on an infor- mation laid by C C Pearce, license inepec'or for North Grey. A dozen of bottled ale, taken from Way's house, was a c ,nspicuous ornament on the table ; and just to show it was good, a bottle went off of its own ac•. cord, May at first pleaded guilty to the charge, but when the magistrate told I fm tart he would have to send him to ga for four months, as he had acknowledged a conviction on the same charge last October, he wished to withdraw his plea. This was refused and he was sent to serve his term at hard labor in- Owen Sound gaol. Tawe were also three informations airs' t May for selling, but knowing th d intuits of proving generallyrecognized there will be the cages Mr P. arce t earthed the place, and, having disce.yereed a se• less sympathy for wrong -doers, the cret door in the wainscot uncle- an old community will be all the better coat, the ale was found stored there.

She has been in the habit of taking a mixture for asthma, one of the ingredients* of of which was Indianbemp, a deadly poison. On the day in question she took a couple of mouthfuls from the mixture, which had nearly reached the bottom of the bottle, and, it is supposed, got more than a safe proportion of the poison- ous ingredient. She was taken sud- denly ill with all the symptoms of poisoning by Indian hemp, and ling- ered in a doubtful condition all duty and nearly all night; but was on the mend next morning. One effect of the approaching Pre- sidential electiot- is to cause a num- ber of applications from Territories to be admitted as States and a stubborn determination not to It t them be ad- mitted. The balance of power is not to be lightly distributed at such a crisis, and it is probable that no new State will be admitted this' year. Dakota, for instance. will have to wait until after the President has been elected. In the ease of New Mexico there is another complication,it being shrewdly suspected that the Mormons have colonized that Territory to an unsafe extent. The refusal to admit Utah will have been of little avail if some other Morman Territory is erect- ed into a State. The "Saints" would thus gain an inconvenient advantage. Gabriel Dumont, who has arrived at Montreal proposes to deliver lec- tures giving a narrative of the North- west rising, and exposing the facts in what he claims to be the true light He will deliver lectures in Quebec, Three Rivers and Sorel, and will seek signatures for a petition praying the Government to extend the indemnity to those Halfbreeds who took np arms under Riel. Dumont contends that Riel died a victim to devotion to his people. The condition of the Metis had not been bettered by the Rebell- ion, but be had no doubt it would have good results later on. Dumont says he will visit Fra'hoe during the summer. He will then return- to the Northwest.

R. 8,, Tuckersmith, which stud event took place on Sabbath evening last. Mrs Sprout, once a very robust woman, had been in feeble health for the. past two • years, and -although she failed much in that time, was al- ways cheerful and able to go about until about a week before her deatb,when she was prostrated by a complication of diseases, an affection of the heart being the principal one. Her maiden name was Jane Ross. She, was a native of A yr - shire, Scotland, where she was born in 1822, and was, therefore, fiG years of age at the time of her death. She afterwards resided in Belfast and in 1843 removed to Gal- loway. After residing there five years, in 1848 she came to Canada and settled in the township of Tuckersmith, and had consequently been a resident of this section for over 40 years. She was married to Mr Sproat shortly after coming to Tuckersmith. She was the mother of nine children, six of whom, three sons and three daughters, together with her bereaved husband, survive her. She was in every sense of the term a worthy woman and was es- teemed and beloved, not only by , the members of her own family, but by all who enjoyed the pleasure of her acquaintance. Several people were seriously in- jured in St. Thomas on, Saturday evening by an accident which oc- curred in connection with the mov- ing of a house. J. E.

DEAR Sin,—I do not know whether you own a dog or not, but if you do I hope it is not a religious one. There seems to be a few dogs of this kind in town, for they are fairly regular atten- dants at church service. Indeed, they seem to be quite devotional at times, and endeavor to unite with the congre- gation in singing some hymns,and even try to improve on the benediction. At times, however, their doggish nature will assert itself, for in )the middle of a prayer or the reading of a chapter, they show clearly that they are not in sym- pathy with the prayer or the reading, for they will munch and sniff and even howl and bark. If their masters and mistresses find it impossible to join in the public wor- ship of the sanctuary without the fellowship of their poodles they should, at least, train them how to behave so as not to disturb those who are sensible enough to leave their dogs at home. No doubt our min inters would feel quite pleased if they never saw a dog in church, "Dog-ou-it" anyway. Why in the name of com- mon sense can't their dogs stay at huntir when they come to church? Yours truly, Rsvouautu. -+• — — AN EXPLANATION. U"• Editor of the C'';,,ln,i New Er"• Simi,—So much has b� cn said reflect• iug upon my treatnitrit of the child, Fanny Lewis, of lllis.s Rye's Home,that I think it advisable to sate that though no connected stories or charges have reached me, still, inferentially, I should judge that many false and malicious statements have b len circulatrcl, causing the state of which I am publicfeeling informed at present exists. Immediately upon being made aware that the child had been taken to the Mayor's residence, I called upon him and distinctly denied the few complaints he made, and demanded that the child be produced, in order that the matter might be thoroughly investigated. This was denied me and the Mayor refused to permit an examination of the child. From that time I have been endeav- oring to obtain from "The Home," at Niagara, a thorough investigation of the matter,but owing to the absence of Miss Rye, in England, I have been unable to have this done. Immediately'upon her return I hope to have a thorough and impartial in- vestigaticn into the matter, and will take the earliest opportunity of laying the result before the public, when I have every confidence in predicting it will be found I have treated this child kindly and considerately,and that there has been no severity. From a reliable source lI hear state- ments have been made to the effect that in my interview with the Mayor, I made disparaging remarks, reflecting upon mechanics and working men. To this story I wish to give a most em- phatic and unreserved denial. During our interview no mention was made of mechanics or workingmen g nen in any form •whatever.

Wixxti'Ro, AettuT, 17,—Mr, Roblin, of North Dnfferin, made a telling speech in the Legislature yesterday in moving the address in reply to the speech from the Throne. It was seconded by Mr Galley, member for Cartier. Mr Norquay fol- lowed, attempting to defend the course of his own Government, Premier Greenway spoke next. He charged the late Government with extravagance and carelessness, and promised to lay before the House before prorogation such facts as would be both startling and ince• resting. He reviewed his late mission to Ottawa and its successful termination. Mr. Norquay and his colleagues were accused of insincerity in their efforts to complete the Red.Rivcr Valley railway, and he said that tw o bona fide offers had been made for the Provincial bonds, at 1014 and 10(n; which Mr. Norquay re- fused. The Government was determin- ed to complete the Red River Valley railway and retain such an interest over its contt'ol as to prevent pooling in the future. He said that both the Gfand Trunk and Noit'.iern Pacific railway wouldenter the Province over that line. Since coming int) power,, he, said the Government had tonna criminals in very high places. The redistribution of seats would not be a gerrymander and it was the intention of the Govern- ment to introduce a measure oartying out the principle of manhood su frage, In reference tothe general elections he said that as soon as the machinery was completed an appeal would be made to the country.
