John Mac- donalcl for the Banging of Riel. They be- lieved that Riel in undertaking a rebellion, mnacle himself amenable to the law of - the country, and that it was not within the pupils,if any be exacted, would total a scope of the Provincial Legislature to et- snug income, Some of our prominent citizens should commence an agitation for this necessity.

In Exe- always been Liberal in their bearings. ter a High School is an imperative neces- The questiou arises. Why (lid the French I sit , people take to heart the execution of Riel, Y who had a fair trial, and who, everybody in Ontario really believes was one of the great- est rascals any country ever produced ? It is a well known fact that the French have never taken kindly to British authority. They are aware that this country was first peopled by their race ; and that its founders should be compelled to acknowlege submis- sion to the flag of the Anglo-Saxon, who from time immemorial has been the natural enemy of and so often the victor over their own beloved France, is something that they have secretly chafed over. They have a strong belief that the time will eventually come when they shall again be the dominant race in Canada. They have organized na- tional societies in every part of the Domin- ion in which half -a -dozen French may be found. They keep alive their language and maintain their exclusively" French institu- tions. They lose no opportunity of advanc- ing their national interests, and when these have been in any way threatened, both Bleu and Rogue politicians have always been willing to throw aside their political differ- ences and fight against the common foe. It was this feeling which led to the first trouble in the North-west. Louis Riel, on behalf of the French, who had been among the first to inhabit the country, murdered an English- man, Scott, and resisted the entry of a Gov- ernor appointed by the Canadian Govern- ment. The French had cherished the hope that they would be able to people the great North-west, and thus make it as thoroughly French as the Province of Quebec. But the transfer to the Dominion Governmeut blasted these hopes, and Riel, placing himself at the head of the disappointed and enraged re- presentation of French nationalism, brutally murdered a man who was outspoken in his loyalty to the Queen. Of the man's guilt there could be no doubt. He made no attempt to deny it, but gloried in his crime. Yet we find that the French-Canadians, almost as one man, defended his action, and in fleeing from justice, he sought refuge in Quebec, where he was concealed in a lunatic asylum. He was defended because he had struck a blow in behalf of the French idea and at the authority of the hated British. It was not the sympathy of the race going out to any ordinary criminal of their blood, but in their eyes he was a national hero, because he had committed a murder in the name of the French race, their zeal in his behalf being strengthened by the fact that the victim had been conspicuously loyal to the flag which they hated with intensity. That influence of the "race" aided hien to elude justice, both politcal parties being equally anxious to shield him and avoid of- fending the French for fear of losing their votes. A second time he rebels, and two hun- dred lives are lost. Many of Ontario's noblest sons stained the prairies of the north-west with their life blood in the out- break, and the Indians were incited to rise and massacre all who were loyal to British authority. 3i et when Riel was captured, the old cry went up from Quebec, "You must not hang him, because he is of French blood and is a champion of our race, and the representative of our asperations. The Quebec Government has been beaten because they did not ask the Dominion Government to interpose between the law and this great criminal who represented the French idea that the French are the natur- al owners of Canada. They say they will also defeat the Dominion Government for the same reason, and, sorry we are to say it, Hon, Edward Blake and Hon. Mr. Mowat have appoved of their "lace and revenge" programme should they .,succeed. in their purpose French-Canadian hatred of British au- thority. will have achieved a triumph of which every British subject and every lover of fair play and justice should feel ashamed. That the ,French can over -ride all other nationalities in Canada we do not believe. That they can alter the deerees of our courts is too monstrous. There are too many men of independent minds to permit such triumph of ignorance,presumption,pre- judice and hatred, and these we ask to set their faces firmly and sternly against a movement which, must, if successful, make the: French Canadians what they have long hoped and long striven for, the dominant race in Canada.

For hold• ing these views the Ross Government have beencondennied and defeatedbytheignorant, prejudiced and fanatical French-Canadian electors. Up to the hanging of Riel the Ross Government was the most popular that ever held power in Quebec ; so, at all events, says the Montreal witness and the and Montreal Star, both of which have A PARALLEL. "THE whole civilized world has been marking very carefully the progress of the trial of the Chicago Anarchists. The issues of the case are of so important a character that the individuals directly concerned are almost entirely lost sight of. The judge who presided at the trial bears a name that is known far and wide as the synonym for ability and unimpeachable integrity ; and his ccuduct of this case has only added to his well-earned laurels. The defendents have had their unlimited opportunity of speech. The sentence of the law has been pronounced, and it is very difficult to see on what grounds its execution can be set aside. Sentiment is always pitiful, but pity is not always just. If these amen die at the hands of the law they have defied, it will be because the law could not save them. Their death may be in their thought a martyrdom ; but if they are martyrs, they are martyrs to plans and theories that were mean and cruel and dangerous. They have sown to the wind, and the safety and well- being of society seems to demand that they shall reap the whirlwind."—Ex. The above quotation clipped from the Toronto Educational Weekly, speaks for itself, and we give it to our readers be- cause it is a perfect parallel case to the Riel issue. The Chicago anarchists were claiming and fighting for what they called constitutional rights, ancl, in doing so, used unlawful means, as was seen in the destruction of life and property. This is precisely what Riel and his abettors did, and yet in the face of the facts deduced at the trial of this twice red handed murder- er, there are to be found in this loyal On- tario of ours, people so steeped in party dye, and so full of expectation that by appealing to the prejudices of an excit- able race that Riel's dead body may be made a stepping -stone to climb into power at Ottawa, that they will sacrifice all conscience prompted principles of right and justice, in order to grasp at the glittering bauble of office. Such a course is detestable, it is not honest, and the intelligent electors of Canada will re- pudiate with scorn those men who pos- sess such an extraordinary faculty as those false would-be statesmen, who can one day clamour for the execution of a rebel, and then when the ends of justice have been accomplished, to turn sharply round and proclaim gum a martyr. Such conduct should be denounced by all who call themselves loyal Canadians. THE Ottawa government justly take a good deal of credit to themselves for the development of the post -office, savings bank system, which is a great boon'to the poorer class, and does much to inculcate habits of thrift by affording then a safe investment for their money.—Toronto News, (Grit.) THE export of Canadian cattle is stead- ily on the increase. The present season's shipments from Montreal are far ahead of any previous year; being 60,000 cat- tle and 80,000 sheep ; but the trade has not been a very remunerative one, prices having ruled low.

Fathers THE Cannington School Board, at its last meeting,. unanimously decided to throw out of the public schools, the Ontario Government Bible and to substi- tute for it the Bible proper. The Exeter School Board would do a commendable thing by' following the example of the Cannington School Board, and retract the resolution made some time ago, permit- ting the Government Bible to be used in this school. The fact that the Canning - ton School Board are Reformers, is suffi- cient to warrant our Board, who are all Christian men, in going back to the Bible proper. THAT what has been said against Da- kota, as a suitable place for emigrants or people who wish to better their condition to go to, is true, has been proven by the statements of those who have gone there and returned without a cent in their pockets. We have this week been furnished with additional proof. Mr. Robert Nicholson leas forwarded the fol- lowing notice, with the request that it be posted up : "I will start a man on my farm with horses, harness, wagons, top carriage, machinery, plows, harrows, cultivators, cows, young stock, 75 chickens, 20 turkeys, hay, grant, and everything necessary for farming, a years' wood at house, for $100 down, and give time on the rest." It looks as though Mr. Nicholson is anxious to leave that country, and wants to get enough money to take him to a place where the soil will yield h.im some fruit for his labor. The Canadian North- West is the place for farmers to go—not Dakota—where nearly every one who is there wants to leave. Mx. Laurier has written a letter thank- ing ``our Liberal friends in Ontario for the warm interest you have all taken in our struggle." The Ontario Liberals will not feel unanimously grateful for Mr. Laurier's patronage or for his attempt to rank them with the Nationalists against the English speaking Liberals of Quebec. The machine Liberals may like it, burnt ris so with the independent en. THE Goderich Signal, as is generally the case, jumps at conclusions, without thought. By asserting the following, it cannot expect it make an impression, for a sane person would not for one moment entertain: any such an impossible thing:,— "Tile Tory candidate who opposes Mr. Cameron in West Huron will have a bag of "boodle" provided by the government for ri ht to dictate to British law. his election expenses. That's the reason g there is so much hunkersliding among the Tory wire -pullers. 11 the Tory candidate had to pay his own election expenses, there would be no contest. Now, however, several actually declare themselves, to be willing' to be defeated at the government's expense." will be to -morrow. -If your sanitary they by- and mothers bring your boys to us for their caps.

Tax Globe, of Saturday last says of the Protestants of Quebec :— "The truth is that the number of Protes- tants in Quebec, who could be regarded as firm adherents to the Liberal party was never large. The majority of them as a rule cared only to be on the strong side, cared only for the good things which the party in power had to dispense, and put .patriotism and principle aside as things which in their position would he cumbrous and trouble- some. They acted as if their first duty was to take care of their personal interests, and thsit they diligently and constantly endea- vored to do." The Hon. Timothy Wafren Anglin should have published that article in his Toronto Catholic paper, the Catholic Tri- bune, and not in the Globe. The people of Ontario have always been under the impression that about nine -tenths of the Protestants of Quebec were Liberals, up to the time that J. D. Edgar, on behalf of Mr. Blake and the Liberal party, made a compact with the French-Canadians to assist them in punishing Sir John Mac- donald's Government for the hanging of Riel. If Mr. Anglin and Mr. Edgar may be able to tie the Liberals of Ontario to the wheels of the Quebec juggernant, but the Liberals of Quebec, who know full well the danger to themselves of a Liber - a1 -Nationalist alliance, refuse to'he sacri- ficed, and have jc ined:hands with those who maintain that the French have no Crediton. • " CitAe ozo HAeir s—Messrs.
