THE Fikinizns of Halclithand appar- ently do not believe that cemmercial union between Canada and the,:United States would bring aboutoaa separation from Great Britain and annexation to the United States for they have hold a jubilee Ricaiein lmnor of the Queen as loyaDsubjeds and seized the oppor- tunity to pass resolutioxe. in favor of commercial union BEER -DRINKING is sure to produce disease of the kidneys. The beer - drinker swells but he never is healthy. He is gross, puffy, red and lazy, but is not strong and able:. to endure -hard. work. Beer does not nourishra, man; it simply bloats him. Hecannot re- sist disease and fella a victim to any prevailing epidemic. To suppose that beer is beneficial is a, delusion, it produces the most disgusting forms of i at em perance. THE.PUBLIO will cordially agree with the sentencedinposed by Juetice Rose upon the infamous creature arelisla, found guilty of indecently assaulting children. The lash is a degrading pup- ishment, and ought not to be inflicted so long as there is any rehonable chance that a prisoner can be redefined to de- cent citizenship. But a wretch who can be guilty of the crime for which the cat-o'-nlne-tails is provided, is al ready so degraded that no punishment can further debase him.. This most re- volting offence has been very frequent of late, and it would be well to apply thedashon every such case. Trns rna3H7-5S of.Ontario appear to be thoroughly in earnest in their agi- tation for unrestricted trade between Canada and the United States. They appear to be just ass thoroughly worked np over this question as everthe menu- fa,corers were over the question of se - coring protection, and for exalting the same reason. It would be, monay in their pockets if they got commercial. union The United States is the best market for the Canadian farmers, ear pecially for barley and some, other aaaarse grains, as well as for horses and and winter fruits. There is this to be said infavor of the farmer's , demand.. He does. not ask the Governmentto tax other -people in order that he may:, profit by it. Tub LaainiaTrao death of Sir Mat- thew Crooke Cameron, at Chief Joe- tiee of the.

When the first point ,passed upon by Judge Palmer was raised in Ontario the highest legal authorities at the,bar were consulted by the, Dominion mice, and the assurance was themde- en thakathe Scott Aet had in no wise been invalidated by the re-enactment.
