The Ottawa Free Press complains
because the receipts from Dominion
lands are not greater. The revenue
from this source is, however, steadily
growing. It amounted to only 8101,000
in 1887, but in 1880 it had increased to
$21,17,000, and in 1891 to $261,000.

No matter who °couples the White
House, the efforts to coerce Canada into
the Union—which now form a leading
feature in United States' policy—will be
continued, and it is a matter of perfect
indifference to us whether Harrison or
the Democratic nominee is to serve as
the figure head for that policy. The
duty of Canadians is to look away from
Washington altogether and pursue the
course best calculated to serve their own
interests, without reference to the ex-
igencies of American politics, and that
course lies in the direction of closer trade
relations with Great Britain.

Ifis dramatic resignatinn of the Secretary-
ship the other day is only equalled by the

answer thereto, .And this is how it struck
the eonvention After the calls of states,
Chairman MeKinley said, "The clerks will

and. cries of " Yes,yes,' " Let us make it
unanimous. "All in favor of making it
unanimons say aye," said the ohairman.
There was a storm of ayes. Chairman Mc-
Kinley never put the negative. "It is
unanimous," said he at 4,36 p.m., and once
more the convention gave itself over to one
of those scenes of enthusiasm which had be-

During the past week Mrs. Carruthers
was tried for the murder of her husband at
Rainy River during the year 1891. The
trial took place at Part Arthur, and the
Grand Jury brought in a true bill. The
prisoner was alleged. to huve killed her
husband by shooting for love of a man
named Fotheringham, but his testimony
distinctly disavowed any undue intimacy
between them, The defence was that the
deceased conunitted suicide, and a letter
purporting, to have been written by him
just before his death was put in evidence.
It stated that he was tired of life; but the
prosecution put witnesses in the box, ex-
perts, who swore that the man had never
written the letter, and that the prisoner's
handwriting and that of the alleged letter
confessing suicide were the same. The
inedical testimony was to the effect that
the wounds from the shooting—there were
two of them—were homocidal and not
suicidal. A host of wienesses gave more or
less pertinent testimony, and after the trial
bad lasted a week the jury found Mrs. Car-
ruthers not guilty and she was acquitted.
The woman who was prosecuted for this
crime was formerly of Blanchard Township,
near St. Alary's,and from August, 1891, for
some months worked as a clerk in Eaton's
store, Toronto.

Sir Oliver Mowat, 17.1 a defence of his ae-
ceptance of an Imperial title, said at Wood-
stock: It is said, however, that all titles
are undemocratic. Is thee so? In the
French Republic, and in other large repub-
lics, they have abolished those titles
that are considered as identified with
the monarchy, but they have not
abandoned all titles. For instance, they
still retain the Legion of Honor, which is
looked upen as a high mark of distinction.
In the United States they retain the mon-
archical prefix "honoratle " and make a
very free use of it. We all know how they
abound. over there in "generals" and "col-
onels." Once a man is appointed a judge or
a governor, he retains the title for life,
whether he hold the office or not So 18 18
in regard to voluntary associations. The
Knights of Labor, for instance, choose
this very word knight. There are
knights of industry and labor as
well as Knights of St. Michael.
However democratic the country or people
may be, there is this fondness for names
and titles. It is,
has always been, and I
apprehend it willalways continue to be so.

TILOROLD, JULIO 14. —00a$idara exam-
ment luce been ca.t.weet here by the expOtire
of a farm pupil fmtut s4-.414,to that prac-
tised by Birchen. A fen- weeks ago two
yotiegEnglishmen Were attracted by an
advertisement inone of the London dailies
to the effeet that good siteatiOns would he
provided in Canada for fare) pupils, with
board, lodging- and good pay. The "ed"
bore the signature of P. B. Warwick. Both
young men ConlinUniCated 'ivith Warwick,
and the interviews ended in their agreeing
to his terms. Warwick peoinised to escort
them to Canada, where lie said he owned
a large farm. The young men were to be
taught professional agriculture, beleg
led to believe that they could make
as fern), apprentices 830 a month on an
average. For the, hied and solicitous care
bestowed vipoti him by Werwick the
younger paid him 13 geineas (about $65)
and farther bound himself to pay another
sem litter on. The elder says he did not
part with as much. The trio came to
Thorold, where Warwick remained two
days, when he disappeared, Before going
he got the younger of the boys to work for
Arthur Griffiths and the other for F. W.
Townsend of Thorold Township.
The Shell .0rolten.
The boys found that they had been
duped, when, in conversation with the
farmers, they learned that , Warwick
owned no farm hereabouts, and that
wages were a long way from $30 per month
and board. They interyiewed Constable
Dundas, who escorted them to P. M. Fish,
to whom they told their tale and asked
that steps be taken to have Warwick ar-
rested on a charge of obteining money
under false pretences. The boys, however,
had no money to defray costs, so t he magis-
trate advised them to eommunicate • with
their friends and obtain the very necessary
wherewithal to push proceedings. They
do not know where 'Warwick is located,
but think at Ingersoll, as they say he told
them that he owned half the stock of an
electric company there,
Gave rp Good sentries.
The name of the elder of the youths is
Walter Culver of London, u hose relatives
reside at, Folkstone (Kent); the younger
boy is Ernest, Edlington of London, aged
17. Culver had n first-class situation as
librarian at the Gladstone Liberal Club
Library, London, at a good adary. Ilis
health, however, not being good, he
thought if he could get a situation in the
open uir he would improve. The advertise-
ment, asking a premium of .418, attracted
his attention. Warwick told him the work
would be very light and pleasant; that he
would get $10 and board the first month,
320 the second, and 830 the third,
which was the average wages
paid. Calver was not acquainted with Ed-
lington in England, but met him in ecan.
pany with Warwick, and learned that he
was coming to Canada also. He learned
that other boys were expected to accom-
pany Warwick, but for soine reason on the
day of embarkment they did not put in en
appearance. The whole affair was arranged
a few days pi evious to sailing, when there
was no time to write to Canada to inquire
into matters. In the agreement with War-
wiek, Idlingtou has bound himself to pay
further sum of five guineas at the end of
a year.

Ton ONTO, June 14.—It eras the Educa-
tional Committee thee first occupied
the attention of the conference yes-
terday morning. The presideut of the
conference, Rev. Mr. Bishop, was in the
chair, and Rev. Dr. Rurwash presented the
report. Messrs. A. J. Toye, E. R. Young,
B. T. Ferguson, A. E. Swartout, E. C.

Dr. Stone and Rev. L. W. Hill were
appointed auditors. Albert College pre-
sented its report through Rev. G. Webber.
There are 43 pupils preparing for matricula-
tion there.
The Superannuation Fund report came
next, Rev. James Gray presenting it. He
reportea tbe permanent fund as 8185,150.92
and the annual fund as $83,684.67, The
General Conference fund amounts to
$6305.77, of which Toronto sends $647.10.
This closed she work' of the morning session.
The Memorial Committee was next on the
list. Its report suggested the appointment
of a committee to assist the Prisoners'
Aid Association. Then came the Contin-
gent Fund, reporting $1042 on hand. Some
cases were referred back after a smart dis-
cussion, in which Rev. Dr. Stone took a
leading part. The question was whether all
eases submitted for aid be allowed and a
percentage of each claim be paid, or whether
each case in succession be paid in full, and
when the funds were exhausted theremain-
ing cases be thrown over.
Cigarets Ave:lint!
Then came the Temperance Committee
with an important report, rehich provoked a
good deal of discussion. The first recom-
inendatiou was that in all Sabbath schools
there be placed pledge books, with two
pledges, one against the Use of liquor, the
other against the use of profane
and obscene language and of tobacco.
These pledges the superintendents are to see
signed by teachers and pupils as far as pos-
sible. Temperance text hooks for the public
schools were favored. The centein-thesslot
eigaret machines were vigorously con-
demned. Still another clause recommended
that no man not a total abstainer and ready
to use his voice and influence for prohibition
receive the votes of church members in run-
ning for any municipal or other office. The
Dominion Alliance's suggestion as to the
appointment of a representative of the tem-
perance inteetests upon the Royal Commis-
sion was approved.
Shall Ministers De Detectives?
There was a clause suggesting that a
column be inserted in the mrcuit schedule
saying if members were total abstainers.
This brought on a vigorous dispute and
finally the clause' was struck out.
"There are other questions we rnight,ask,"
said Dr. Sutherland; "we might ask how
many bad voted for temperauce caudidates,
and NO rnighs get tinpleasant results."
Dr. Stone genially alluded to the elause
as to the one making ministers detectives.
The clause referring to opposition ofnon-
probibitieri members called forthmore dis-
cussion. Bev. tr.' Sutherland presented in.
addition a motion that the conferencefeels
that the liquor traffic cannot he crushed as
long as the political parties are committed
to the policy of license, and that .thirparties
will not change until' Christian voters with-
hold their- support.' Rev. Mr. Blackstoelt
pointed out that this was endorsing the
policy of the Roman Catholic Church. Rev,
Dr. Dewart nas also unwilling to commi0
the conference to a third party movement:
Finally it was carried by a vote of 02 to 32.

MRS. CARR_UTH_ER'S CASE.
flow the Verdict Was Reached - What the
Trial has cost.
Pone ARTHUR, June 14.—At 9.30 Satur-
day evening, after six hours' absence, the
jury, in the case of Nellie Carruthers, re-
turned with a verdict of "Not guilty."
The whole of the day was devoted to
addresses by counsel and the judge's
charge.
Mr. Osier, Q.C., admitted that the
famous "suicide letter" was in the prison-
er's handwriting, but claimed that an inno-
cent person knowing she was suspected
-would act as the prisoner had done.
Jidge Armour's charge was a temibly
strong arraignment of the prisoner. Hie
Lordship told the jury that there could be
no doubt whatever as to the prieoner's
guilt.
The jury stood 8 to 4 for a conviction,
but the persuasive eloquence of Foreman
McCallum and Jurors Arthura, St. Louis
and Nicholson soon turned. the others.
When the jury returned announcing the
verdict of "Not guilty," judge Armour re-
marked: "Prisoner, the jury has acquitted
you ; 1 hope your conscience has acquitted
you. You aro discharged."
The woman, though nervoas at times
when the jury was out, maintained her. re-
markable self-possession to the end..
The cost of the trial -will be enormous,
exceeding probably 37000, of which about
83000 will fall upon the Government, The
balance of 84000 has to be meb. by the
father and brother of the prisoner,who
mortgaged the farm in Blanchard toraise

cially ruining them.

able to deal easily with what remains of the
famine, and the indications are that it will
be unneceseary to send fuither contribu-
