Big Bear has been-sentepcUd tQ three years in tho penitentiary, Tiie latest from Regina," (Septem-' bur 12) is that, the authorities have given instructions to proceed with the ereefiomof tile scaffold. There is a feeling now that the rebel ring^ leader will suffer the extreme penal ty on-Friday. next, but:we doubt it. It is more than probable that an ap. peal will be made to the Governor General, who is the person empower ed to grant a respite, not the Rlinigs t«r of Justice, to put. off "tiie execu tion .of Riel until-bis case has beep reviewed by the Privy Council of England, Thos. Scott, the alleged white re-> bel charged with inciting toyeimllion at Various meetings i«i the Norths West iu Maruh last, and for writ*- ing seditious letters- lo-half-Lreeds in tlje vicinity of Batoche, has been acquitted/. -The Superior Court at Winnipeg has C3nfirmed‘' tho conviction of Riel, declaring’ the Court at Regina Lad full jurisdiction and-that* The jury by .ignoring the plea of insanity .acted quite in accordance with the facts elicited • in evidence. The Court was composed of'Chief Justice Wallbridge and. Justices Taylor and Killam, a seat on' th® bench being accorded Judge Barrotin of the Court of Appeal. The News-Record has all along held the view that there will be no ■—-t»iiKcarr4age’of-just4cei“in«tlimcaso=ofs Riel. In spite of the oft repeated assertions of our good Grit friends to the contrary we still think that Riel will pay tho.extreme penalty. Dispatches from Ottawa "to the Globe are rather contradictory. One account says that Riel’s counsel • would arrive in Ottawa oh Monday to present a petition to the Governor General asking that Riel.be formally respited .until tho appeal in. his case I can bo beard before the Privy CounC I oil.- Another account stated that I His Excellency was then on his I way.to Winnipeg arid would.arrive I there on Tuesday. He will have to I sign Riel’s death warrant before it I can be carried out, say the lawyers. I If he has .not and does not, will that I of itself be a respite,' or will the laws I delay have to be granted, in a formal- I’ manner, is now being talked of. \ I It is more than probable, though I-* latest accounts do not indicate that H way, that Riel ! will, notJbeJiangocL ■ oh the ,18th, but that time will be ■ given for an appeal to the Privy I Council. That that Co;urt will con- | .firm the decisions of the Canadian | Courts.there can be no doubt about, |. so tlisit it bf only a matter of at most I a few months^h^i the unfortunate | man shall expiate hfa awful crime. The Hamilton tywetator comes down to details in exposing tbe On tario Header swindle, perpetrated by the Ontario Government for the benefit of the chief stockholders of the Globe. Talk of a bribery fund I What more heinous job than this book swindle was ever perpetrated irt*'5any country 1 We fail to find its parallel. It will needlessly ex tort hundreds of thousands of dollars from llie^class of people least able to bear it. If this is education, and it has been propounded by our boast ed Bdueation Department, then ig norance. were indeed bliss. Better our people to° remain in ignorance and honesty than to have such a fearful example of dishonesty and robbery for .au example< As we l^ive said, the composition pn these books has already been paid for by the people of Ontario, and plates .hayo been niade from which ocher plates can be taken as desired. The cost of the new plates will be about 50 the book' good lor sious. L1 portioned quarter of one cent. .;The press work on these long runs is probably worth 30‘ cents a token. Let ua allow full price, and say that it is worth 35 cents. That would' be about cents for each book. It must be borne• in, mind that these books will remain in use^for'1 many years, and that all tho applian ces fee producing them on the cheap est scale may profitably be put in* Machine folders can be used, and the ces-s can be made in large lots at a. minimum of cost. The binding, un der such circumstances ought not to' cost more ,tharr"7"cents'volume; But let us .suppose that it would cost ev.en.so,much.as IQ'oejits.- ■ ■ Then there wpnld be charges for interest, on capital employed, book keeping, office rent,, packing and shipping.

Supposing the Commons did not acquiesce in it, does that show that the views of the Senate on the liquor question are unpopular. It doesnot.' The divergence of opinion Jbetween the Commons and the Sen ate was sho wn by a majority of .only eight in a House of 202 members, 160 of whom voted on the question. More correctly epeaking that was. the majority "on Mr. Small’s amend ment to. the amendment to ajlow the sale of w.ine and beer,in all counties whpre the Canada Temperance Act was not then in force. A. division was nob taken on the Senate amend ments, for Hie reason that the op- 0IponmTtoIEufTlT§=^TnF^iL3“beeF^latrses had their do\{l>t4 about .the popular feeling being wkh thein. The,pop ular branch of f^e. Legislature were afraid to squarely face the irsuo. The ^members - dare- not repord ' by'.their Votes their conscientious convictions on the measure. *. In. thpir inmost hearts the majority of them must have .felt ashamed to own that they • allowed sentiment and popular furore. toIbuldozeAliem. into recording their votes in favor of a measure which ' dlnate brandies have been modelled after the British ConeHtutiop, 3* system that has already planted several greater BriUans across the seas. A system that has imposed its institutions upon the offshoots of Germany, of Ireland, of Scandinavia, of Spain and of France is not likely to be revolutionised by a bandful of m&lcontents who Cannot have their individual idibsyncrauies embodied ' inlaw. A constitution and a. syss tern that has raised Imperial Britain to be the foremost nation in the world, even though it has a King and an hereditary Senate and a po pular Commons, ia not a bad one to copy. A constitution which lias been elastic enough tp stretch over the whole world and from which we take our non elective Canadian Sen ate will not be Jjijnred very badly by even those who would’foul their own nests. A constitution with an upper House which is not nearly as popular as our Canadian one has raised imperial Britian to be a power to which the great American states man, Daniel Webster, truly said r “Rome, in the height of,her glory, ia not tp be Oompared—a.x power which lias dotted the whole surface of the globe with her possessiQns and military posts, whose morning drum beat, following the sum in his course arid, keeping pace with the hours, circles the earth with one con- Ainuo'us jEULduwi>Xbk the= martial airs of England,” Several times it has been attempted to des troy the Constitution of Britain.

EDITORIAL NOTES. High Commissioner, Sir Chas.

He will inter- I view all the Provincial Governments I with a view to interesting, them and I securing their co-operation. He has I received several letters from the I Prince of Wal.es in which His Royal I Highness expresses a special desire Ito have the productions of Canada- I largely represented. With: tlie"m&t^ Iter in tire hands of JSir Charles, we, Ifeel assured that the Dominion will Icoine well to ,the front.
