GREAT TRIAD TO -DAY;
e reprint the following article.
been the London Free Press and ewe:
mend the moderate tone that marks it
to. the circle of our readers. After all
the sensatiatlal talk that we have read
and heard for seine tinge, it is refresh.
ing to road such sound Christian corn
mon sense;—
It is supposed by some that it is the
duty of counsel for the Crown in crine
inal eases to pursue the accused to bit-
ter end, and to import into the proceed-
ing all the hostility and vituperation
that it may be Possible to muster. Such
a view of the duty of council we take
to be an erroneous one. He is not be-
fore the court hi the capacity of an
enemy of the accused, but one whose
duty it is to act for the State at large,
of which the prisoner forms a part. It
would seem that under such conditions
a spirit of fairness toward the accused
as well as justice towards the commun-
ity should prevail. Criminal proceedings
that have been instituted have not for
their object the conviction of any par-
ticular person, but to elicit facts to
show whether one charged with a. crime
be guilty or not. In pursuit of such a
line of duty it is reasonable to look for
moderation in assertion, and in the in-
ferences that have to be drawn from
the circumstances that may be detail-
ed before the court, There should be
no ghoul -like hope in the minds of any
portion of the public that any' one
charged with murder, for example,
should be found guilty; rather the hope
should be indulged that innocence may
be established and the accused shown
to be not a guilty man. It is the duty
of the counsel to lay all the facts fully
and faithfully before the court and
jury, and it is the duty, especially of
the latter body, to arrive at a sound
conclusion respecting them. The case
chat will occupy the attention of the
court at Woodstock to -day is peculiarly
open to considerations such as these,be-
cause the accused has been made the
subject of persecution even from the
pulpit, and has been persued with a
vindictiveness for the sake of gain on
the part, of certain detectives that had
been previously almost, unknown in
criminal annals. As to the guilt or the
innocence of the prisoner it is not our
province to offer any suggestions, how.
ever remote. As the Judge very prop-
erly remarked in his charge to the
Grand Jury, all preconceived notions
gathered from irresponsible sources
should be dismissed from the mind; on -
le: such matters as may come before
the court should find any weight either
with the jury or the public. But this
may be said without trenching on pro-
priety, that Burchell's side of the story
if he be called to give it, has yet to be
heard, and that may tend materially to
alter the view that has been thus far
taken of the guilt of the accused. At
any rate it may be anticipated that be-
fore such a judge and by the aid of the
two counsel that the crown has select-
ed to conduct the case on behalf of the
people, justice will beelone to all con.
earned. More than that none has a
might to ask or anticipate.
TRADE WITH JAMACIA.
/FT
large trade with It, the feeling there Is
not so kindly to wards the United Stater
as it was before the introductio of the,
1iell;inley bill;a:nd any country Which
can Offer the Jamaicans the classes of
goods they require, on anything like
the terns offered by the United States,
is likely to reecivc extra consideration
just at present. This is Canada's op
portunity, and our merchants should
not be slow in ayailing themselves of
it. As a fair indication of the temper
pf the people on the McKinley bill we
may quote the following fromethe ja-
unt -ice STAN DAR
"The tradebetween the United Stat
es and Jamaica has of late year's been
greatly on the increase. The principal
benefit of this trade has accrued to the
United States. if the Anu ricau Gov-
ernment, therefore, persists in imposing
a heavy duty on our sugar, we have it
in our power to retaliate and increase
our import duties on American pro-
ducts. The corn, flour, and other food-
stuffs that we now get from the United
States, we can obtain as cheaply and
conveniently from the Dominion of
Canada. All, then, that would have to
be done is to conclude preferential fis-
cal arrangements with the Dominion of
Canada."
The passing of the McKinley bill will
seriously affect the trade relations be-
tween the United States and other
countries besides Canada. These
countries, shut out from the United
States, will naturally seek other mar-
kets; and as Canada has, to a very
great extent, the same natural pro-
ducts to sell that the United States
has, we ought to be able to attract] to
us a large proportion of the trade
which the United States is likely to lose,
No country has looked with a more
kindly eye towards Canada,with a view
to extended trade relations, than has
the Island of Jamaica. Some time ago,
it will be remembered, and effort to-
wards Reciprocity was made by Hon.
Mr. Solomon, but with no result, other
than that attention was drawn to both
storintries and each of them gained a
little more knowledge of the products
and resources of the other. The com-
ing exhibition in Jamaica next Janu-
ary, at which Canada promises to be
exceedingly will be represented,will,no
doubt, tend greatly to draw the two
countries closer together. Even with -
met any measure of Reciprocity, much
east- be done to hicrease c.lease our trade with
the islands, and a good show at the Ex-
hibition will do much towards enlarg-

Around About Us,
HvuEslAL.—A very interesting oc
currence took place in the family of
Mr. Wm. Johnston, eth con. McKillop,
on Tuesday, September 16th, about
half -past two hi the afternoon. This
was the marriage of his fourth daugh-
ter, Miss Janie, to Mr. Wm. Lockhart,
youngGeorge est son of Mr. Lockhart.
The officiating clergyman was Rev. P.
Musgrave.
OBITUARY. -On Monday the sad in
telligence was received in Kippen of
the sudden death of Miss Sarah Must-
ard, only sister of A. K. Mustard, who
three years ago labored on Hensall
North Circuit as Colleague to Rev. E.
A. Fear. It is, however, a comfort to
those who are left to mourn her loss, to
know that death to her was but "lay-
ing down the cross to take up the
crown." The many friends here of the
bereaved mother and brother extend to
them their heartfelt sympathy.
On Monday a son of James Scott, G.
T. R. switchman, St. Mary's was struck
by a passing train and seriously hurt.
The doctors have very little hopes of
bringing the boy through. On Satur-
day, a lad 12 years old, son of C. D.
Swanson, of the same town, was kick-
ed by a horse. He walked to the house
and did not seem to be much hurt, but
about midnight Ms father was awake-
ned by the boy's heavy breathing, and
sent immediately for a doctor. The
boy died before the doctor arrived.
On Thursday last a young man
named Joseph Smeltzer, son of IlIr.
Paul Smeltzer, of Ashfield, met with a
painful accident. He was engaged
in hauling out manure, and when re-
turning from the field to the barnyard
ouch
he ted one of the horses with the
pitchfork, whe0 the animal suddenly
kicked, and striking its leg against
the fork drove tile handle through the
young man's breast bone. His escape
from instant death was miraculous.
He is a blacksmith and at one time
worked for Wm. Holmes, of this town.
A very sad fatality occured at Blue -
vale on Thursday last. •A little boy,
aged between two and three years, son
of Mr. Thomas Dillon, cheesemaker,,
was eating corn, when some of it got.
fast in his throat and before it could
be removed the poor child had choked
to death. Mr. Dillon was away on bus-
iness in Michigan at the time, but
being telegraphed for returned on Sat-
urday morning. The remains were
that day taken to Arthur , for intern
ment, where Mrs. Dillon's friends re..
side. Much sympathy is felt for the be-
reaved parents in their sad and very
sudden affliction.
A son of Mr. John Wellwood, Wing.
ham, aged about nine years, had a
narrow escape from death on Wednes-
day afternoon. Mr. Alf. Nicholl was
making a call with bread, the boy go-
ing to the cart for that, necessary art-
icle, and then went back for another
ticket; in going back the second time
he was running fast with an open
knife in his hand, and accidently ran
against the gate -post, the knife in
some manner penetrating his abdomen
about two inches, just above . the
stomach. Luckily no vital point was.
touched, and the chances are that he
will speedily recover.
It will be remembered that some few
months ago Robert Rumford and Geo.
Houghton were clearing up some
land in Logan, when an altercation
arose, between them, and Rumford
struck Houghton over the head with a
handspike, killing him almost instant-
ly. The coroner's jury returned a ver-
dict of "wilful murder," and the prison-
er was committed to Stratford jail to
await his trial at the fall assizes. The
court was in session last week, .fudge
Rose presiding. The case went to the
grand jury on Tuesday, when a ver -
diet of manslaughter was returned.
Mr. Thompson, on behalf of the prison-
er, pleaded guilty to the charge, and
addressed the court on the circumstan-
ces connected' with the case. He also
presented a most numerously signed
and influential petition as to, the previ-
ens good character of prisoner, and
praying for the mercy of the court in
passing sentence, Mr, Moscrip was
also herd in behalf of the prisoner, and
"the judge complimented the two gent-`
lemen on their addresses, and the way
in which the case had been conducted.
Prisoner was sentenced to 6 years in
the penitentiary,
