In other words, it is an asser- tion of those acts on the high seas only permitted by international law to belligerents, or exercise against pirates with whom no nation is at peace. I have endeavored. to argue this question with as much closeness of reasoning as I could command. I have not indulged in vague speculation, nor embarked upon metaphysical discussion. I have felt it my duty to TRY TO ASSIST TRE TRIIISNAL in ascertaining the facto, because I con ceive it to be the function of the tribunal not to make, but to declare the law ; not to consider what the law ought to be, but to say what the law is ; not to formulate new rights, but affirm what they believe to be existing r-ghts in this domain of law. The armory of argument is full. Ilcre indeed are the weapons of Achilles, but where are the strength tied skill to use them with full force and effect? I have dealt w;th the law as I believe it to be 1 am cone tent to think that that law as it has comp down to us, fashioned by the wis- dom of ag •s, modified by experience in its evolution by human society, is a fit- ting and noble instrument to serve the just purposes of mankind in adjudica, tion of their rights. Mr. Carter, in his impressive opening, well said that sub.. mission to arbitration was a great fact. Mr. President, it is a fact of weighty moral significance. Ilere are two great powers before you, one a representative of civilization of the old world, great in its extent of dominion, greater still in its long enduring traditions of well - ordered liberty, and in the stability of its institutions ; the other, A YOUNG BUT STALWART MEMBER of the family of nations, great also in extent of territory and almost boundless resources, great too in the genius and enterprise of its peopte,possessing enor- mous potentialities for good on the fu•. ture of the human race. These nations are in difference. Britain conceives she has been wronged by these seizures ; that her sovereignty has been invaded, and her tights upon the high seas set at 'naught. Happily the broad extremity of war was avoided. 'These nation* have not saught to turn 'their plough.ahares into swords to settle differences. They are here before you, friendly litigants, peaceful suitors, asking by pacific means the adjustment anis determination of theirrights in time of peace. Thia is indeed a fact of great moral significance. Peace loath her victories not less renown- ed than war. This arbitration is a vice tory for peace. Will your award be a victory for peace? You alone can an. ewer: It will be a victory for peace if it conform to the principles of the law, which have been consecrated by long usage, stamped with the approval of generations—that law which has grown up in' response to that cry of humanity held through all time, a cry sometimes inarticulate, sometimes drowned by dis- cordant voices of passion, pride, ambi- tion, but still a cry that has gone up through all the ages for peace on earth and goodswill amongst men. SIR eisea,ES COMPLIMENTED. The President—"Sir Charles,yoe have reaped so much applause in course of your profession as a lawyer and far-famed speaker, that what I might add would be but of small purport. I will merely say that the vigor and incisiveness of your argument have been fully appreciated and felt; that England has done honor to this tribunalwhen she chose as her counsel in this memorable case one of her ablest and most powerful legal debaters." Sir Richard Webster followed,sunport- ing Sir Charles Russell's argument against the restricted meaning placed upon the terms"North west coast" and "Pa' ifio ocean," quoting American authorities against each most effectively. 1.60 a Year --$1.25 In Advance. 3fedaesdaY, June 7th 1893.

VTe have received a communication from W. Flannery, D. D , P. R, of St. Thomas. The greater part of the mat- ter contained in the letter .deals with Mrs. Shepherd's lectures at St. Thomas, and should not be discussed here. The only portion of the letter of local interest is the positive denial of the statement that thirty tamilies had lett the Roman Catholic Church in St. 'Phomas in consequence of Mrs. Shepherd's lectures there. We have also received a couple of letters from "A Reader" of THE NEWS - RECORD, which are re -prints. One is dated from "Arno's Vale, Bristol," and contradicts many of Mra. Shepherd's statements. We fail to see that any good can come out of pnblishiug all or any of them, especially when the 'natter, on both sides, to so contradic• tory , A FINE PERORATION.:BY SIR CHARLES RUSSELL. Sir Charles Russell finished his argu- ment before the Behring sea tribunal last Wednesday, summing up the British 'contentions. The following is his peror- ation : "In every form in which the claim of property right can he put, it is untenable that it is opposed to the great principle which lies at the very root of the whole controversy, the principle of freedom of the seas ; the principle that upon the sea shipe of all nations are equal, whether it is a ship of a great or insignificant power ; the principle that upon the high seas ships are part of the territory of the nation; the principal that upon the high seas subjects of every nation can take at their will, according their ability, of the products of the se It is not a light matter. This is the Ir time in the hl tory of the world that any~nation or individual has ever clairned right of property in any free swimming animal in. the ocean ; this is the first time in which exception has been sought to he made TO THE RiGHT OF ALL MANIf1ND, to take from the ocean fish and animals contained therein. The advancement of this proposition is grave enough ; still graver the sanctions invoked in the name of international law for vindication and defence of these extravagant and unfounded pretensione. What are these sanctions ? They are an affirmation of right on the part of the •Uuited States for all time to search, seize and condemn vessels of a friendly power engaged in, THE BRITISH GRAIN TRADE. The Mark: Lane Express of Monday last, in its weekly review of the Brit ieh trade, says: English wheat averages 27s a qr. in the country and 27s 5d in London. The axles at 196 market towns the peat week amounted to 61,789 qrs. it is believed that the farmers are selling too freely and would do well to hold tneir grain until July. Foreign wheat has receded 6d since Whitsuntide. The arrivals of wheat include 105,000 qra. of California, 50,000 qrs, of Aue• tralian and 10,000 qrs. of Argentine. —T.

A PARTY PROIHIBITIONIST. Mr. W. W. Buchanan, of the Temp- lar, Hatnilton, denied to a reporter that he was among the list of those who waited on Mr. Dalton McCarthy, at Toronto. Mr. Buchanan was not there, nor had he anything to do with the movement. "I have always opposed the organization of a third party," said Mr. B. but I have advocated temporary , independent action to force the prohibition issue into practical pole 1108" i DIFFERENT KINDS OF POISON. The pastor of the Grace Methodist El,iscopal church of Jeraey City Heights is the Rev. M. L. Gates. This gentleman took occasion on Sun• day last to warn his congregation against peruhittieg their children to eat cal,dy. He declared that thousands of little children die annually from what he called confectionery diseases, and he advocated a new inscription upon the banner of all prohibitionists in these. words : "Ahstinence from rum, to- bacco and candy." A REFORM OPINION. The Ontario Legislature,after a session of about average leneth was prorogued. Most of the members had gone home on the previous Wednesday and there were not half a dozen at the prorogation. Among the few we notice the name of Mr. Gibson, of East Huron, who may now be fittingly termed the father of the Legislature, as we•believe he enjoys the distinction of being one of the oldest consecutive members. 'There were 118 bills assented to by the Lieutenant -Goy• ernor; none of them, however, is of vital importance. The session, thr•ote;pout, was comparatively tame and uneventful, and but but for the fact that it was the first held in the new -buildings, would not have been in any way parti- cularly significant.—Ssaforth Exposhtur. WILL DE IN BAD COMPANY. The coming Liberal convention at Ottawa is not causing very much inter.- est nter•est in political circles for the simple reason that few representative men will find time to go. Montreal's merchants, manufacturers, mechanics and day laborers are too busy to waste valuable time at Ottawa, consequently the dele, gation from the commercial metropolis will be composed of lawyers,whose briefs are rare, and of sight seers who will look upon the moment as a favorbable one to visit the seat of Government. The most promiuent delegate, however, will be ex-Preinier Mercier, who is to be chosen as one of the representatives of the Club Letellier, and as the Palatine count is not noted for keeping a still tongue in his head, it is more than prob- able that his appearance will create a little stir in the party conclave. His partner, Mr. Rodolph Lemieux, will also be_on hand, and'a strong effort will be made hy a considerable section of the Quebec Liberals to have Mr. tVfercier take. Au important part in the delibera- tions of the convention. A FEW EVIDENCES OF PROSPER- ITY. To the Editor o/ The Nr+cv•Record. SIR, — We frequently hear people speaking disparagingly of this Canada of ours, saying that it is not progress- ing. It is said that " none are so blinc as those who will not see" and in this in- stance it seems tb be true. Let me call the attention of such individuals to four different things. The first is hired help on. farms.. Liired .mail ripe hard to get and command high wages, much higher than a few years ago. The sec- ond is the farm yards. Compare t.h'e cattle in the yards at present with those of a few years ago and see if their condition does not warrant els in say - in s that Canada is progressing Next we will notice the " turn out" that the farmers sport on holidays. They do not now ride on lumber wag- ons dt'tuvn hy old wornout horses. The majority enjoy the luxury of rid- ing in carriages drawn by good if not fast !horses. The fourth point to notice is the pub- lic schools and their occupants. is there not an improvement there? Notice the appearance of the children. %Ve are glad to see that the large inijority are not only neatly but comfortably clad. Teachers who gave np the pro- fes,,sion a few years ago are in many subjects behind many pupils 1n our piddle schools who have not even pass- ed the entrance examinations. The buildings themselves will compare favorably with those made use of a few years ago. Most people considering these things carefully will come to. the conclusion that in these respects at least Canada is progressing. Yours, PROGRESS. —About 11 o'clock Friday morning, while throe or four boys were playing near the river by Fisher's mill, Paisley Ont., one, a son of lir. Alex.

On Thursday evening there met at Irwin's store the representatives of Bay - field's sporting community, business interests and benefit all. The sole and only purpose as has been announced several times was the discussion of the celebration of Dominion day in royal old Canadian style. Thos. Cameron was appointed to the chair, Messrs. J. Fowlie and G. Irwin as secretary and treasurer. A committee was appointed to, shake the dust out of every nook, and make the greatest preparations for the first that has ever been held in this place. Mr. Geo. Stanbury, of Toronto, who has for the past year been successfully pursuing his studies, returned last week to spend the summer holidays. Mr. John Essen, who has for a few weeks back been renewing his old ace quaintances, returned home last week. Some of our neighbors who cast a jealous eye on Bayfield have the kind- ness to tell us we have no law.

Miss Mita Stanhury has returned from a visit to Toronto. (From another coneapondont.) The Queen's Birthday is now past. A good many here remember when it was a day of celebration and pleasant mem.- ories still linger on their minds of the faro day's sport they used to have. Few of those who took an active part in the games are now here. The greater number of them are engaged in other parts of the world, scattered many miles apart. A few of the old timers assisted by some of the younger heads are busy preparingaprogramnteof rare sports for Dominion Day, July lat. An ener- getic committee is at work and their labors will no doubt be awarded by a large turn out of people that day.
