P. for Lis - gar, Manitoba, has addressed and published an open letter to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Sir Wilfrid's reply will be foiled in another col- umn of this issue. We are sorry that we eon not publish Mr. Richardrion's letter also, but its extreme length makes thie impos• Bible, and any extractewe could -give would bat do it injustice. When two such able and experienced political gladiators as Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. R. L. Richardson cross swords in deadly combat the gore is sure to ily ; it le So in this instance. Mr. o Richardson's letter is an able deliverance, and centaina a few home truths, which it wOuld be well for the leading politibians of this country, and particularly the leaders of the Liberal party, to carefully ponder. - He quotes the platform adopted by -the Liberal party when in opposition,and on which they were intrusted with power, and accuses them of having violated several important planks in that platform. This part of Mr. Riehardson's letter is all right, and he makes out a fairly good case. But he makee the fatal mistake af draggingin his own personal grievances, and blames Sir Wilfrid becauze he did not save him from his misfortunes. Politically apeaking, Mr. Richardson array- ed himself against both politica.' parties. He got at logerheads with the L'1, rale by his independent advocacy in Parli aent of several measures whicla they °nos el, and his opposition to several which they eup- perted ; he arrayed against him the mem. bare of the Conservative party of his Pro- vince by his determined opposition to the big railway deal which the Government of the Province recently figured in. For this reason, it is said; the heelers of both parties united to secure Mr. Richardson's expuleion from Parliament. They succeeded in doin'g this through the election court, as Mr. Rich- ardeon was petitioned againet and unseated, on account of corrupt practises on the part of his agents. This is whet Mr. Richard - Hen complains of. But this ili just where he makea his greatest mistake. Had he been properly and honestly elected, his oppon- ents could not have unseated him ; as he was not so elected it was quite proper that he shOuld pay the penalty. He has had hard luck but he should .take his medicine like a man. He will notMake anything by crying for sympathy, as he is doing. In t blaming Sir Wilfrid for not interfering to keep him in a seat to which he Wa8 not leg- ally elected, he made a fatal mietake. Sir bled spectators, .especially in judging live 'stock, it would add . immensly to the interest and ueefulness of the st ows and would, perhaps, de• crease the demands for • speeding contests and other Birch " attractions " whieh are entirely foreign from the objects which an agricultural show is supposed to serVe. The failure of the corn crop in Kansas is having a marked effect on the shipping trade of Montreel. - The Montreal Herald states that the eastWard movement, of corn has practically ceased and that as a result about 'half the space devoted to grain on ship*leaving that port will new he idle. It is rosin wind, however, which .blows no one any good, and the' falling off of - Americen shipments has resulted in lower rates for 'wheat than have heretofore been known. Contracts for carrying wheat from Montreal to London are now being made at rates as low as a cent per bushel, and even at these rates the space 'a,vailablefor August ship- ments is said to be a drug upon the market. Professor Groldwin Smith, in. his " By- stander " notes. in the Farmers' Siin, says : " No drawback attended the gift of the Massey family to the 'Agricultural College of a-library,:the firet, atone of which was laid in a very pleariant moaner the other day. Oatario is and is likely to be mainly an ag- ricultural Province. lite farmicg population i3 its sinew, political and social as well. as industrial. To mire agriculluie abovathe condition of mere mantle' labor on a large ecalc, by making it al sorentific calling, is au object of the highest importance to the Province in eVery point of view, and is al- lowed on all hands to be well s'etved by the Agricultural College under the management of President- Mills. This aurely is better than the flaoking of farmers' sons into the city and their crowding intocallingsalreany overstocked. The checrfal homestead, the ripening crops and the Prosperous household promise more happiness and more of genuine diguitY than a struggle for. suhaietence in a learned prefeasion with anxious- days and perhaps lack of bread." - The Picton in- referring to the wreck' of the steamer Islander last. week, when on its route between Skagway and Vancouver, by coming in contact with aa iceburg. while runnieg at full speed in a (lease fog and through which Oceident some 80 valuable lives were sacrificed makes the - ' follovving pertinent and timely remarks " Thiel calamity adds one Mole to. the long liat in proof of the folly of lgoing it blind at sea. The adverse etia,nce is sure to come, although the proportion of safe pas.3- ages is evidently sufficient to,. tenett Ship owners to ruu the rink. Ilherif can be no urgency so great as to justi/y these entrutte ed with the-safetysof lives iby -the hunch ed putting these lives in jeotirdy as a matter of policy or business. • The passage frain Vancouver to Skagway is laInd bound all the way, windiog through channels between the rocky ehores df our Pacific archipelago ; and however unsafe high sbeed in a blinding fog may be in open see, it muet hethe height of criminal rashness to practiee under the circumstances in which thia' vessel and those valuable lives were lost." A contemporary remarks : " The Peter: borongh Examiner demands the oompletion of the Treut Valley canal, so that, the pro• posed Georgiad Bay and Ottawa River route may be utilized in the t -ansportatiou of Manitoba wheat," This Tr nt Valley canal 8 one of the mast pelpable frauds that has ed 'the better, on the principal that the( rst loss is the least, loss. Had the millions hat have already been expended in it been iven to assist young Canadians to make *mos for themselves on the prairies of the orthvvest they would have yielded the ountry thousands for every farthing of enefit, that the Trent Valley canal will ever afford.

The sooner it is dropf Wilfrid was not slow to take advantage of P fi this reef in his adversary's armoureas will be t 1210811 by his letter. He seizes the advantage g 'with avidity, and through it gives his ad- h versary his death thrust. Had Mr. Rich- ardeen omitted -from his letter this personal • g refereace or complaint, his opponent would. hevelseen put to his metal to reply ; in • _deed, it is vary doubtful if he would. have replied at all. But, by manipulating this 'personal reference as he does, Sir Wilfrid at one stroke entirely destroys the effect cif the main charges contained in the lettenand at the sane° time shows up the inconsistency and insincerity of the writer, so as to effect- ually destroy his influence or 113E3ft-illness in the future. Viewed from a purely party or strategical point of view, Sir Wilfrid's letter is as clever as it is °erratic, but those who value the integrity of the great Liberal party and tthe interests of the country more than any merely party advantege, will re. gret that Mr. Richarchion has been disposed off so easily and so summarily. He was a good and a useful man in the House. But, even ehould he succeed ha getting into the Ileuse again, which is doubtful, his in - throne° will be very much impaired if not entirely neutralizei. He is, ho-wever, not the first Toed man who has fallen by makino a mistake. It is a dangerous thing te kick agaiust the palitical pricks, and the maa Wh '3 0333 do it and live mnst have mere than the wisdom of the serpent and _the innocence of the clove.
