THIS WICKED WORLD.
For some weeks moralists ha.v.e.

regular business is carried on,

Miches on the continent, for the
rpose of supplying girls, ot _ 11 to
yeara of age chiefly, to the disso-
,e denions of the metropolis and
ewhere for sums varying from $15
ward. The most harrowing des
ption of hell itself must be that
a paradise of peace compared
th the wailings and body and soul
tures of hundreds—ave, thousands
of mere children in England who
i sacrificed in this way. Orders
i taken for maidens in as purely
ouimercial way as for a package
tea. And doctors dertify to the
luineness of the “parcels” even as
analyist would to the purity of
itea. Horrible! Horrible !! And

jofs were submitted to the Arcfi-
hop of CanterbnryrCardinai Man-

ve repotted that the Gazette had
iple justification for the statements
mkde. The most lamentable phase
the whole licentious business, is
8 ease with which procuresses, in
ristian England, obtain children
>in parents, to be seduced. An
formulated excuse being that
sir young daughters were likely
be seduced anyway, and they pre-
rred that thej’ b’e kedubed^by men

The English Parliament has just

“there should be no delay i» regard
“to the steps still necemry to be
“taken in order that the Bill should
"become law,” The Bishop of Ox-
foid took exception to the mild
terms in which the resolution was
couched, and expressed dissatisfac
tion with the limit of age fixed by
the Bill. Nothing less than eighteen
years should satisfy them and for
himself he saw no reason why the
age should not be made twenty-one
years as in other countries. He
moved to add after “Amendment
i Bill” the words—“even if it be only,
“a partial remedy for the evil it is
“intended to cure.” This amend*’
ment was accepted and the resolution
adopted meta. con. The General

last month, adopted the following
--memorial to- Barlinmentf the—termfr

by the Free Church a year ago :—

This court undertakes to decide my
case, which had its origin fifteen
years ago, long before tnis court ex
isted, Tt is not a competent court,
but having to stand my trial,before
it, 1 consider the providence of-God-
has.perhaps allowed matters to go in
that way up to tins rridirien't for a par
ticular merciful purpose. In that
.light this court bec'omes-a providen
tial instrument which i love and re
spect-. In taking the circuinstances
of my trial, as they are, the'only
things I wouli'i like now to. ca.ll re--
aBpectfully your attention to,, before
to’deliberate, are first, that
’•the^Jiprisbtof 'Common's, the -senate
and irie*mihistry of the Dominion,
which make the laws of-this land anil
govern it, are not representative
whatever of th^ people of'the North
west; second, that tlie Northwest
"council, generated by. the-Federal *
‘ government, lias the ’defent,a o(' it.R_
parent. The nuniber.-of members
elected by the people to the council
.make it only a sharn~Tfepreseritative
legislature, and no representative
government. British civilization,
which-rule’s.tlie..world to-day., and the .
British constitution .. has defined a"
government as those who,rule tlie
Northwest and called them responsi
ble ■’governments, which bluntly
means that they are not responsible.
.By.a.11 the:T<M®i'fce":w;hich I had here
before you -yesterday, you’wei_e_e.Qm=y--
pelled to adhiitn,IiaU.Jri,m not
, ponsible, then' I am insane, Good
sense alone, without soientitic<ith<?or
ies or explanations, leads to^the same ;
.conclusion. By the testimony hud
before you during the trial, witness
es on both Bides.’prbved that petition
after petition was Sent to the federal
goyennnent, but so irresponsible is
that government to the Northwest
that for,§everal -years 'it did’ nothing
to satisfy the peoele of this, great
land . It has. hanliy been able to an
swer once or give a single response.
This fact would indicate absolute lack
of responsibility.. In fact, there is
insanity complicated" witli paralysis
indicated; In fact, ’With the malady
it is said I am suffering from,; this
monster of irresponsibility is'stiffer
ing. The government and its little
one, the-North west council, bad made
up their minds, to answer the petit'roTr1
by attempting to jump suddenly on
me arid my people in Saskatchewan.
Happily when they appeared and
showed their teeth to devour I whs-

them; with flashing eye and Clenched

^WP<’r’there-vwigi a murmur in thp

jury had agreed. All was bustle and
oxcjtement. Rfal prayed fervently,
kneeling ih his box and looked.un

verdict, of -guilty, after’ being out.
about an hour.
Francis Congreve,^’the foreffiany
while crying like a child, announced
that-hq was asked by his fallow jurors
to recommend the prisoner to tho
say. ' ■

The court reltised, saying that, the

On the. re assembling of.the court,
Riel addressed the jury and spoke for ,
an hour and a hall. When called up-
on to speak he hesitated for a mo-
"ffi^nTJfien’p’Kcing his hands upon the
dock and bowing' to ’the bench,. he j
said i Your, honor, gentlemen of;
the jury, gentlemen of thetorown, and
.toybown good counsel -It would be a
very easy thing to plead insanity, but
I have no desire to enter such a plea,
"I hope, with God!suhelp, to show* that
I am not infiane. The papers in the
hands'of the crown-are not like the
productions • of a madman, and you
will not ajcbpt them a’s evidence to
support the plea of insanity which my
counsel have made on -my behalf. *
The^prisOner here stopped suddenly;
: in his address and offered up tlie fol
lowing short prayer:—Oh, my God,
help me to sp^ak to this honorable
court and to those lawyers and to tbe

and said The day I was bOrn I was
