Mr John Crerar in his open letter to the Liberal leader, recommends the policy of "free trade pure and simple," even though that policy should necessitate the colleotion of Dominion and Provincial revenues by direct taxation. He is right. Direct taxa- tion would not cost the people more than one dollar for every three dollars they have to pay under the indirect sj stem.

The Circumstances which provoked thie extraordinary demand arose out of an offer from the frame -work- ers of several surrounding villiages to do the work at 5 per cent. below what the town workmen were receiving, in order to compete auccessfully with the latter. The town workmen retaliated by calling upon employers to make the above mentioned re duction, and, On their refusal, went o • strike. • mg by the stove with her only child, a boy two ydars of age, when the latter placed his mouth to the spout of a kettle and drew into his month and throat a quantity of steam and hot water.

Rufus Collins, Cartersville, Ga., who paid negro $60 to kill his wife, has been con- victed of murder. Collins was a well-to-do farmer of North Carolina; he fell in love with a neigheor's daughter, but his wife was in the way. He then moved into Georgia, buying a farm twenty miles from here. One day a•oolored farm hand shot and killed Mrs Collins and the widower took her body to the old house in North Carolina. There suspicion was aroused, and investigation developed the fact that Collins had paid the man to kill her. The St. John (N.B.) Telegraph says the Grits and Tories agree in the opinion that Canada is a great country, that it has vast resources, that it is rich in minerals and other wealth, that its land is fruitful and that its lakes and seas teem with fish. They alao believe that Canada is peopled by a strong and hardy race—men woho would win their way anywhere. "Now, if all this is true," asks the Telegraph, "why do Ca- nadians run away by hundreds of thous- ands from their native land? Why is it that Canada has lost and the Republic gained over a million of our.people within ten years? Why is it that lad year the household effects carried &arose the border by Canadian exodians were declared to be nearly $1.200,000 in vales) ?"

Been a Conservative and a promi- nent supporter of the Governinent i the Sena. e, declared himself in Opposition, on Monday, and the episole was quite met:siting to the Senators. 82eaking at considerable aaid_there ought to have been a reconstruct ion of the -1,hat Mr-A1Y-• bott should have lifted the standard of ; public moralitja which had sunk low. He criticized the political me.hods of his late ' chief, 't3ir doh° McDonald, and declared that the revelations which had caused the retirement of Sir Hector Langevin ought to have caused Mr Abbott to reconstruct his Cabinet. He would in future oppose the Government, and when, as according to the new redistribution of representation, Mar- quette in Manitoba was divided, he would resign from the,Senate and run there for tbe Cominons as an Opposition candidate. The balance of the Colonel's speech showed him to be a convert from protection to free trade. He presented a forniidable array of tra te statistics covering 21 years to glow that the N. P. had prevented Canada en- joying the pricspei ity she ought to have en. joyed. The census, he said, had knocked the ground out from under hisbelief in pro- tection. He will later introduce a resolu- tion for the readjustment of the tifriff,look- ing to free trade. East Luther Council has decided to abolish statute labor and levy 60 cents per day, to be collected with the other taxes, as an equivalent of a day's labor. We have long contended that the old method of performing statute labor is "a delusion and a snare" and should /be amended.
