Inafe4d of finding fault with Con- ,: sierVativea and petitioner M fallen in these premises the Grits should thank .them for having the courage of their eolivictions and for for pro - ceding to establish in open court the evidence upon which they base those convictions. Surely this is a more honorable courae than to re- . sort to newspaper seurrility and in- tautvible innendo against the con- . ts duct of Canteen aud his friends, In the eyes of the law so far these ale innOnent of any wrong doing, thougli we will not say that public Opinion jaetifies the assumption at • jOttoaanaa.. f coats() Mr. Robett Birthing hatif must, be lagged into this affair st year nms collect- illions of dollars anadians paid that e Globe has not said so pplement itsstatement by at the Ainericans sent iuto a during the same year goods which we collected over eight illions of dollars of duty (See page 58 1Dominion Trade and Naviga- tion Returns 1890." Now it' we peid the five 'billions of dollars duty on goods we exported to the United States, according to Globe logic, and if that argument is irrefutable, the undoubted sequence ' is that the Americans paid the eight millions of dollars we collected on on goods whieh they exported to Canada. "The Globe says so", though not in so many words, but in the man- ner we have described, that under our preSent tariff syetetn we ate the three millions of dealings with the during the year gaiuer of over dollars in our United States 1890. If the Globe login is correct it is not surprising that the Americans should want free trade to...get even on the $3,000,000 which they annually pay us over and above what we pay them. The Globe logic also leads us to to conclude that Canada is a direct gainer by impos'ng duties on Brit• ish goods. We collected on goods hnported from Britain last Year duties amounting to •over nine and a -half millions of dollars. If. the exporting country pays the duty this ainount is clear gain to Canada because Britain exacts no duties on what we sent there. ranchise Ao o is due publicity of the. preliminary. lists and of . times and placee at which Courts of Revision are to be held. Publicity is one of the safe- guard, by which tho rights of the people are protected. Every faeili- ty, except publicity, is given now for electors to have their put on the lists. If any party thinks -its adherents do not take sufficient interest in "the cause" to have their names put on and the party spends money to pay the expenses of those who will not in the first instance get their names on, it is not the fault of the Act or of the GovernMent. After the preliminary lists are made out they should be distributed in the various municipalities and contain notices of the times and placee where Courts of Revision would be held. Members of every municipal council should be provided with them, the different Riding political associations also. And full and ample notice given in other ways of the times and places of holding the Courts of Revisien. names Therefore, inetend of the Globe harping upon the "legalized rob- bery" involved in the collection of custom' duties, to be consistent it ought to advocate a sixty or seventy per cent tariff in this country instead of the paltry twenty-five or thirty per cent tariff as at present. Bat we suppose that there is a point beyond which we should. not aud we may hsve arrived at that point—or we may not.

'UNRELIABLE AnaiN.--Saturday our town contemporary made a des- perate effort to forestall evil and snatch a verdict from unwilling Fate. It issued a dodger anuounc ing the death of Sir John A.

It is poesible that the Old Man may out -general again those who would kill him off by cold type. It seems certain, how- ever, that Sir John in any event will be incapacitated from sfurther work.

We have been made the re. cipieut of samples of two brands "The Bouquet" and "Artiste". The Bouquet is Riter's special brand. It has a fine aromatic ordor, is a free smoker and posseses a goodly share of the requisites sought for,by those whose conscience and palates will allow them to enjoy a good smoke. The Artiste is also superior goods but as both samples are before us We must refrain from expressing an opinion about it. "Were t'other dear charmer away" we might not be so reticent. As Mr. Riter deals direct wilh the mauufacturer it should be in the interst of the trade to call on him. Additional Locals. SERVANT GIRL WANTED. --Apply at once to Mrs. J. C. Gilroy, Clin- ton. MR.

Carbert of H ul- lett, a few miles from Clinton, com- mitted suicide by shooting himself through' the head. Various surtnis- es are assigned as to the reason. One that the rash act was superin- duced by melancholy arising from illness, another that it was from an entanglement ariaing out, of a love affair. He lived with his parents and his domestic relations were of the pleasantest kind, and he was held iu very repute by all who knew him. Whatever the reason for his taking his life in hie hands let us hope that it was done in a momentary fit of irresponsibility. We extend our sympathy to the afflicted family.
