EDITORIAL NOTES.
Patrick Lyons, of Toronto, was
up before Judge Macdougall at the
tensions for attempting to shoot
police constable Wallace, who was
trying to arrest hint. The Judge
said the warrant signed Hugh Mil-
ler, J. P. wits no good as the ini•
tials ouly did not designate that
Miller was a Justice of the Peace
Lyons was dtsoharged the Judge
remarking that if he had killed_ the
constable he could not have been in•
diced for murder.
There seems to be a delusion
among many Canadians, that with
Cleveland as president of the
United States, an American policy
of free trade would be introduced
They should not be carried away
by any such mythical maunderings
So. long as the existing protective
policy inures to tha benefit of the
United Statue, and so long as Bri-
tain and other old manufacturing
countries squeal over the hardships
it causes them, -just so long will the
Americans believe the high protec
tive system is the best for them; and
whether Harrison or Clov eland be
president the next four years, the
well understood feelings of the
maeaes for high protective tariff will
be respected. Canada has far more
interest iu who is or shall be prem-
ier of Great Britain than in who
shall be president of the United
States. Britain and her coioniee
constitute the other portion of the
commercial world as well as the
other portion of the territorial world
to which wo belong and our bus: -
nose is with it and them.
Sir Oliver Mowat could do a lit-
tle in the reforming line were he to
turn his attention to the conduct of
the employees of the sheriff's office
at Goderich. The sheriff hirnsel f
is a fine old Reformer, one of
those who turned out in '37 and '38
to fight for Crown and country.
But his deputy appeare to bo one of
those who has little regard for the
proprieties incidental to his posi-
tion. He is virtually an officer of
the Crown, yet he out -Meyers, the
decapitated county attorney of
Dufferin in his annexation epistles
to the press. It is true they are
only the veriest rot and the un-
patriotic stench frotn them stinks in
the nostrils ofninetynine hundredths
of the people, as well es in the sight
of high heaven, yet there is no ex-
cuse for one second in command of
the affairs of an important office,
whose clrief.'is appointed by the
Crown, attempting to bring into
disrepute the system of Government
by which he is enabled to get bis
bread and butter. And now comes
the sheriff's bailiff, Gundry, and
makes a villainous personal assault
upon a Crown witness, who happen-
ed also to be concerned in an attempt
to bring to light the .perpetrator of
one of the most diabolical and in-
human crimes ever accomplished in
the county of Huron or elswhere.
A few years ago the Rev. D. J. Mc-
Donnell, of Toronto, had doubts
about the correctness of the theo-
logical dogmas he was ordained end
paid to maintain.. A church court
disciplined him and he promised
not to teach the Heresy. There is
far more reason for disciplining
those civil employes who are paid
to help to maintain intact otir forte
of government, but who take the
most public means to publish their
want of faith in it. An employe of
the Presbyterian church would not
be allowed to remain in its service
one moment longer than the
furnishing of proof that he had•no
faith in the efficacy of its system.
Butetnployees of theOntario govern-
ment not only deride the system
which creates it but point to another
which they think more desirable.
These men should go to where that
system obtains, just as a Presby-
terian who does not' believe in
Presbyterianism should go body,
bones and conscience over to the
church system 'whore he professes to
believe he could find heart solace
and soul comfort.

Consolation for uaet'e. pf"theabQut•
Note tQbaaco weed crops tip now
sad again. Not long since a mad*
cal man, of twenty-five years prao•
tine, said he never had a consuinp•
Oyu patient, nor had he ever .known
of any one afflicted with conaulnp
tion, who used tobacco. And now
come eminent metlieal men who
assert that the iiivr'terata arnokers
ir, the cholera di,tricts of Europe
are never attacked by that disease
or by typhus. It remains for those
who are opposed to the nae of to,
basso to say whether the preventive
or cu
r is worse than the disease.
Tr resident Harrison is respon-
sible for the coercion policy of the
national and state troops' and that
of the police, with bayonet and
galling gitn persuaders, in late
troubles, riots and defiance of law
and disrespect for the rights of
property, and if it can be brought
home to him, what a falling off there
will be in the vote he will receive
next November, Or will it make
a difference with the lion -tail twist•
era of Yaukeedom as to whose ox ie
gored. If coercion in restraining
the lawless Land Leaguers in the
United Kingdom, from dispossessing
owners of their property, is wrong
there, is it not wrong in "free"
America to coerce Labor Unionists
to refrain from dispossessing pro.
perty owners there.
The Toronto Board of Trade, one
dig last week, entertained at lun-
cheon, Sir Whittaker Ellie, Lord
Mayor of London, England. In
reply to an address of welcome Sir
Whittaker said : "He was delight-
ed with what he had seen so far in
Canada. Ho regretted that his
stay would be so short. but his
knowledge of Canada and Caua-
dieuedid not altogether depend up•
uu his present contact with them.
He was well aware of their loyalty
and devotion to British connection,
and he ndmi'red them for it'.
(Cheer's) On the broad lines of
political economy he, with the great
mass of the English people, was a
free trader, but circumstances had
risen in the affairs of other countries
which, to those countries, seemed to
justify a policy of protection to
industries reaching in many casee
to absolute prohibition, and, while
a consistent free trader in England
upon those broad lines•of political
economy, lie thought that the time
had now arrived when England
would bo justified in reorganizing
her economic policy, with her eye
upon t-hat-irmrreause Grater Bata.i'
composed of her own subjects in
her vast colonial dominion. Thus
he had noticed with pleasure that
Canada, with no uncertain sound,
had expressed herself as being pre•
pared to meet the mothe.t country
half way.
"The Grand Jury was bought up,"
said sheriff's bailiff Gundry. Being
a particular friend of M. C.
Camerou's Gundry ought to know.
But we do not believe it all the
same. •Mr. Cameron • was returned
to Parliament several times by an
exponditure of thousands of dollars.
But ton tunes the $30,000 spent for
election purposes would not buy
the Grand Jurors. We gave thgir
names last week and a look at the
list isa guarantee of their probity.
No, no, we do not believe that Mr.
Cameron, with all his wiles and
wealth, could "buy up" the Grand
Jury. Their action in finding "no
bill" was apparently in favor or Mr.
Cameron and prevented some sweet -
scented developments before the
pettit jury. But as we have said
their names is a sufficient guarantee
that their enquiry, whether a libel
had been made on Mr. Cameron,
was diligently and conscientiously
made. Mr. Cameron is charged
with much devilishness, but we
cannot for a moment believe that he
would have the cheek to atterript to
debauch man of the stamp of the
Huron Grand Jury, and we feel
satisfied that he knew enough of
the sterling character\ of the Jurors
not to attempt to "buy them" were
he ever willing.
TO AND FROM CANADA.
The British Board of Trade re-
turns show that the exports to Can-
ada increased 10 per cent in August
and decreased 2 per cbnt. in the
past eight months, compared with
last year. There has been a heavy
decline in horses, railroad iron and
tin plates, and an Increase in wear-
ing apparel ; in woollens there has
been a marked growth. The im-
ports from Canada increased 34 per
cent. during the month and 23 per
cent during the eight months.
Wheat increased in the eight
months, .£110,000; cheese, £300,-
000'; lumber, £720,000.

—The lltoraai Question .Boast
Where lit Was
At the Assizes last week Mr.
Mitchell of the Goderich Star
pleaded not guilty to the charge of
libelling M. C. Cameron.
The suit arose out of a statement
made by Mr. ,Mitchell in the God•
erieh Star to the effect that Mr.
Camerou had stopped proceeding's
in a libel charge again•ut the garden-
er Gore, and bad paid costs, upon
the condition that evidence offered
by the defence in substantiation of
the charge that Cameron had sed-
uced the girl Ellen Lomas should
not be gone into.
A.'a matter of fact the proceed-
ings had been dropped owing to the
severe illness of Laura Gordon, a
material witness, each side agree-
ing to pay its own coats.
This being established Judge
Street told the jury that the issue
resolved itself into whether the
statement had been iiublished by
Mitchell and whether it was libell•
otts.
A verdict of guilty was returned,
and upon the Court's adjourn•
mut B. B. Osler, for the prose-
cution, and John King, Edmund
Campion and Lindsay, for the de-
feuce,arranged a settlement. The do -
fence agreed to insert a retraction,
and when the Court set again hi.
Lordship imposed a fine of $5, costs
to be paid by the defendeut.
The following is Mr. Mitchell's
apology :-
Courthouse, Goderich, Sept. 20,
1892.—With reference to the article
in the Star of the 15th July, 1892,
headed, "Justice Baulked Again,"
it is due to M. C. Cameron, Q. C.,
to make the following statement :
The article in question was found-
ed upon erroneous information re-
ceived in good faith by this paper.
Upon preparing our defence to the
true bill found for libel at the recent
assizes a rigid examination was made
of all the evidence which could be
given in support of the plea of just,
ification of the libel charged. It was
impossible to plead justification of the
article. The evidenca_in support- of
charge against Mr. Cameron that he
bad seduced Ellen Lomas was found
toibe wholly unreliable.
We regret, exceedingly the pub-
lication of the article in question and
apologize to Mr. Cameron and faro.
ily for the pain which the unjust
accusation in question must have
caused them.
JAS. MITCHELL.
The case of the Queen v. Mc-
Lean, proprietor of the Toronto
World, was one in which the paper
referred to published sworn affida•
vice charging 2v1. C'. Cameron with
the seduction of one Ellen Lomas, a
minor, «ince deceased. The Grand
Jury returned "No Bill," and Mr.
McLean will now take action against
Mr. Cameron for false arrest. It is
to be regretted that a bill had not
been found against McLean, so that
in the interests of justice, the guilt
or innocence of Mr. Cameron plight
have been established. The Grand
Jury evidently considered the pub•
lication of the allegationjl..ag Inst.
Mr. Cameron jueti'fif'ble ; • gid ti
eiould appear that Mr. Cameron
bad his redress against the parties
who furnished the World with their
sworn statements. The upshot of
the whole matter leaves Mr Camer-
on iu an unenviable plight, and
those unprejudiced will have their
own opinion about 'his guilt unless
he takes proceedings against the
authore - of the alleged libellous
statements. If Gore and Gordon
have made false charges they should
certainly be called to account. But
as yet the public have not been
furnished with any refutation of
them produced open court.
Then the case of Gore against
Smith for libel was traversed. It
is said Smith alleged that Gore was
the seducer of the girl Lomas.
Presuming Mr. Cameron to be an
innocent men, and, for the sake of
our common humanity, we hope he
is, justice has been baulked in that
the truth or falsity of the charges
against him were not gone into; and
the public are now no wiser ae to
who was the author of one of the
foulest crimee on record.
It is much to be regretted that at
least the case against Smith was not
gone into, for if Smith could have
proven the guilt of Gore as the
seducer of the Lomas girl, Mr.
Cameron would obviously have had
his innocence established.
There appears to have been a
good deal of "snuggling" done to
suppress all the facts in connection
with the seduction and death of the
Lomae girl being made public.
We have no means of knowing
who would have been most injured
had a thorough investigation been
gone into before the court. What

Cameron, was aedneed end that eh:u

The whole affair grittily rewinds
one of the failure, often, to find cat
who is responsible for petty juvenile
pranks. The only conclusion ar•
rived at being "nobody, did h,"
though broken gins,: or dishes ars
ooglar proof that "totnebody" is
the gnilty party. "Nobody" se-
duced the poor dead girl, yet the

that eho was the victim of "some-
body's" lbet.
APPLE I?RODUCTS.
In view of the Grit contention
that Yankeetlom ie the only place
out of doors where Canadixne can
fiod a market for their surplus pro
ducts it way be worth while to look
at the apple question for a few min•
nten. During the peat five years
the exports from Canada have been
as followe.
Year Barrels Value Per bbl.
1887 402,141 $ 852,890 $2.12
1888 392,312 813,095 2.04
1889 771,971 1,(28,419 1.99
1890 378,435 993,163 2.62
1891 415,187 1,390,436 3.34
It is apparent that the McKinley
tariff has not reduced our exports of
apples, and has, not lowered the
price. On the oontr•ai•y, the export
has remained about stationary, and
the price hoe risen from $2.12
per barrel in 1887 to $3.34 in
1891.
The exports to the United States
have fallen off from 144,618 barrelb
in 1887 to 56.308 in 1891; but
those to Great Britain increased in
greater proportion, which proves
that if we aro shut out from the
United States we can find a market
elsewhere without suffering any
loss.
