During the past week there have
been several cases recorded Of outrages
upon females, in different parts of On-
tario, none of them, fortunately, as
heinous as the Listowel one, but nev-
ertheless cases that call for the stern
adtninistration of justice. In one 'of
them the victim of a young man's lust
was only five years of age. The well-
being• of society demands that every
possible safe -guard be raised in behalf
of virtue, and that those guilty of
forced immoralities be dealt with rig-
orously. It would almost appear as if
there w as a laxity in this direction that
bodes no good. The legal penalty for
outrages of this nature is hanging, but
it is never enforced, and it is not un-
likely that public sentiment is unfavor-
able to its enforcement. Perhaps, if
the lash were more vigorously applied,
it would be a preventative; at any rate
measures must be adopted that will
mete out just punishment to the guilty
and at the same time be a source of
protection. Looseness or latitude in
this direction is certainly not advisable
or desirable.
Theory is its Stronghold.
Free trade is often right in theory when pro-
tection is right in practice. There is more or
tie 4 lruth'�,qq llta_kaunts q th_Q_4gierlpan, pro
- .: -' T cttoniirtlf'wfiti dealer`s thatcduege jn efossers,
-- collets, thinkers of all sorts and conditions are
leaders in the cause of free trade. Men whose
relationship to the activities of the world is
merely observant are for free trade. Their ob-
servations are met by the experience of fellow -
countrymen, whose interests compel them to
take an active hand in the material upbuilding
of the state, and experiences furnish these men
proofs that protection is right.—Toronto Tele-
gram.
The Telegra;n would not surely claim
that the above is a sample of good,
clear reasoning. If free trade is right in
theory, practice cannot make it wrong.
If it is right, it is right all the time;
but it may not be expedient, which is
a vastly different thing to being wrong.
People make the mistake of assuming
that circumstances may alter a princi-
ple, when they only affect its opera-
tions; as a principle it is still the same.
If free trade, as an abstract principle,
is right, no experience. whatever can
"furnish men with proofs that protec-
tion is right," because they are oppo-
sites and cannot possibly be so. To be
inexpedient or expedient are different
things, and the Telegram should have
Said s0.
'J•
Is it Right?
There is a practise prevalent in con-
nection with many of the criminal
cases tried before judges, that will lead
to miscarriages of justice if notcheck-
ed, and the sooner itis checked the
better. We refer to the practise of
some eminent lawyers, who, having
got what evidence or information they
can from witnesses, proceed to badger
and embarrass them as much aspossible
and are allowed to do so by the judge
presiding. We do not for a moment
offer any protest against lawyers us-
ing all fair and legitimate means to
arrive at the truth, but it is evident to
all who either attend court or read the
published proceedings of courts, that
they go beyond what is at all neces-
sary, and if judges do not stop it there
will be a revulsion in the public mind
that will not be desirable. It not in-
frequently happens that women are
called upon to give evidence, and be-
cause they cannot minutely detail
every circumstance that has taken
place months before, although they
;may be perfectly honest and sincere in
what they are saying, some ' sharp
lawyer tries to make out that they are
unreliable, and have even tried to
smirch their character. This thing
should not be tolerated any longer. It
is no wonder that Witnesses occasion-
ally get out of the way, sooner than be
bullyragged and badgered as if they
'were the worst of Characters. The
judges have the remedy in their bands
and should 'apply it.
We congratulate Lift T. Gl. Murdoe1
of Lucknow, en liis'elevation to the
Presidency' of West Bruce Liberal As-
•sociation, and hope, .ere: long, to be
able to announce his promotion to a
higher political honor. • ALAI like Mur
dock are the kind of nubile men this
country needs.
Mr Dickenson; barrister, of Wing -
ham, has accepted the Conservative
nomination for East Huron for the
Dominion, Ile has a hopeless task
before him, for although -Dr. Macdon-
ald is not strong physically, he is
strong enough in the sympathies of
the people to be re-elected by a good
majority.
Chattelle, having confessed the
atrocious murder of Jessie Keith, will
doubtless pay the penalty on the gal-
lows. The further proceedings are'
only a matter of legal formality, and
no one would complain were they dis-
pensed with. There should be no long
delay and no opportunity should. he
given for cheating justice. Punish-
ment should be swift as well as sure.
If an attempt is made to work the
"temporary insanity" plea it will not
be tolerated.
MERCIER IS DEAD.
Honore Mercier died et Montreal, on
Tuesday. The end had been expected any-
time daring the preceding twenty-four
hours. It is a remarkable fact that a
spiritualist there had foretold about ten
days ago that the end wbald come on the
thirtieth of October. Monday Mr Mercier
was unconscious most of the time; For ten
hours of the day he lay in a comatose con-
dition. Mr Mercier in his prime would
weighed close on to 185 pounds. His dead
body is now a mereskeleton. iso muoh had
it wasted away. Ile was in poor health
for years before the symptoms of diabetes
made themselves unmistakably evident.
For more than two months he was in hos-
pital at Montreal, but on Friday week last
he was removed to his home. Mr Mercier
uee•s, tamale. 440, ie,Cfommons,.tor,
Ronville from 1872 to 1874. In 1879 he en-
tered the Quebec Government as Solioitor-
General in the Joly Government, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Hon. P.
Bachand. From 1887 to 1892 he was
Premier of Quebec, and in •the latter year
his Government was defeated by ars over-
whelming majority.

A Very Brilliant Ending.
Mr Laurier's :western tour came to a
close last Thursday night in Winnipeg,
where he was banquetted in royal manner
by the Liberals of Winnipeg, at the Mani-
toba Hotel. There were 400 guests present
and the assembly included representatives
of every class in the community, whose
reception of the Liberal lead r was enthu-
siastic in the extreme. Whe Mr Laurier
rose to reply to +
l the toast "Our Guest,"
there was seen a strange scene. Every-
body stood up on their chairs, and waving
handkerchiefs, cheered continuously for
several minutes.
x13 tarouna'e 011111E611.
Mr Laurier commenced by thanking the
Western people for the reception they had
given him, and having paid a warm tribute
to their energy and enterprise proceeded, to
deal with the policy of the Governmeut.
Protection had retarded the progress of
Manitoba and robbed the people of the
fruit of their toil, It had increased the
cost of the necessaries of life but had not
increased the price of the country's pro -
duet in the sathe ratio. Canadians should
be left free to bny and sell where they wish-
ed to, whioh was the policy of the Liberal
party. Then he passed on to the prospects
of the party at the next eleotion and closed
his brilliant speech as follows:
"Whether victorious or whether defeat-
ed," said the leader, "victorious I hope we
will be, victorious I think we will be—vio-
tory shall find me not elated, defeat not
dejected, but ready for the fray, because we
are right ; and so long au I have to sustain
me the good.,will,, the 'rapport and affection,
if I may say so, of the Liberals of Canada,
the Liberals of Canada will always find me
ready for the discharge of my duey, what-
ever that duty may be." (Cheers.) Mr
Laurier took leave of his friends in the
west in these words: "I have only one word
to say—farewell for the present; farewell,
not in body, not farewell in mind or heart,
because in my mind or heart so long as I
am in the position I occupy, never shall I
forget the peopleof the west, who have been
so kind to me on the present trip."
LAST MINUTE LOCALS.—We are in-
formed that a few days since Mise

erly of Clinton, and Mr C. Duncan,

ried. The Wroxeter Advocate is the
latest newspaper venture in Huron; it
is well supplied with advertisements,
and is quite a vigorous youngster; if
there is a "longelt want" in Wroxe-
tee, the Advocate will fill it. Wednes-

Premier Greenway is the only member
of the Manitoba Legislature who has been
a member of that body since 1879. Truly,
this life is a fleeting show.
Only 1.9 of the 26 members of the Con-
pervative party voted in the convention

The Manitoba Government has sent a

stated -
Tuesday, bTovember 30th, bas been ap-
pointed as date for trial of petitions against
ad Savage, the Conservative member of
'the T.ocal Legielatere for West Algoma.
Notice has been filed with the returning
offieera in East and West Hamilton that
the protests againtt the return of Hon. J.
M. Gibson and J. T. Middleton have been
withdrawn by the petitioners.
The Toronto Globe is responsible for the
assertion that Hon. Mackenzie Bowell is
the only member of the Dominion Govern-
ment who, privately, believes in Protection.
The others, it says, have all recognized the
humbug.
Hon. Mr Laurier and party arrived in
Montreal from their Northwest trip en
Monday. The hon. leader held a recep-
tion, and was warmly greeted and con-
gratulated by many friends. He paid a
call on Mr Mercier, ex -Premier of Quebec,
who was on his death bed.
An amusing feature of the Newfound-
land elections is the unseating of three
Whitewayite candidates on their own pe-
tition. The supply of ballots bad been ex-
hapsted before all the votes were in, and
fearing that the result would be against
them, they protested the election. The
count showed they bad a majority, and
they are now metaphorically kinking them-
selves for their precipitancy. -
At the meeting of the 'Young Conserve-
tiyes in Toronto, Monday, Dr. Ryerson, M.
P.Y., said the next session of the Legislature
promised to be one of the most interesting
on record. He said he did not believe the
Government would make any conceesious
to the Patrons such as the latter demanded.
Sir Oliver Mowat was on the verge of re-
tirement, and would not, said Dr. Ryer•
son, stultify himself in history by earning
a reputation as a place hunter.
An Ottawa special says:—It is not ini-
possible that Sir John Thompson may in-
dnce Sir Charles Tapper, High Commis-
sioner to England, to return and take the
leadership. It is well•known the Premier
is mnoh discouraged at the outlook. Sir
John has always aimed at being appointed
to the Judicial Committee of the Imperial'
Privy Council. He has not been created a
Privy Connoillor and the other prize is al-
most within his reach. He will grasp it if
he can. The salary it £5,000 a year. The
change would therefore be to the Premier's
benefit, while Sir Charles Tapper, as Con-
servative leader in the Dominion, it is felt
could win.
There are few more eloquent men on this
continent than the Hon Mr Laurier. His
position in this rei,l,ect as already establish,
ed; but, if it were tr+t, the beautiful pessege
in whioh he last ']'hnrs;lay night took have
of his Western friends would of itself be
sufficient to stamp him as one of the great-
est orators of the day. Of the fifteen re-

given to Mr Laurier in Winnipeg, the chair-

be found supporting the Reform leader.
Nor does the boset seem altogether un-
reasonable. The election et Mr Martin

are indications that a great change of pub-
lic opinion has taken place in the West. --

E. T, Essery, the Conservative candidate
in London, has been twice elected Chief
Magistrate of London. He is a lawyer,
and is a free and vigorous talker. For 20
years past he has been before the public as
a candidate for various positions. Success
smiled upon his publio affairs when he an-
nounced his oympathy with the P. P. A.
movement. In the last mayoralty., con-
test he defeated Col. Gartshore, a Liberal
member of the MoClary Manufacturing.

8. Hobbs, the Reform candidate, is a mem-
ber of the Hobbs Hardware Co„ and while
never taking a very aotive part in politics
until quite recently, he hue always been
known as a staunch Reformer. He was
president of the Young Men's Liberal Club,
and in the.reoent contest in London, when
the leader of the Opposition secured a ma-
jority under 200, the young organisation
showed much strength. Mr Hobbs is

The jury brought in a verdict of not

"You can't pump me." "Mum's ' the

hall"—these were the admissions made by
Frank Westwood to County Attorney Car-
ry the day before he died from the effects
of a bullet wound inflicted by some un-
known hand, and with the death of the
viotim of the murder, all expectation of
ferreting oat the mystery was abandoned
by the police, although they have been
working on the case. The remark of the
dying boy to Mr Curry that he had "fool-
ed" with his slayer in the hall might point
to the fact that he knew who his assailant
way.
lex. McGinnis, of Stratford, a widower
with a family of two daughters, is in the
toils. Some days ago he was charged at
the Police Court with being drunk and dis-
charged at the Police Court with being
drunk and disorderly. He got off with a
light fine and reprimand. It now trans-
pires that while in the bestial condition re-
ferred to he is alleged to have committed
the crime of incest, the victim being a
twelve -year-old daughter. The prisoner
has been remanded for eight days. He
hails from Ingersoll, and has been a resi-
dent of the oity only a short time. The
charge is preferred by Chiet McCarthy.
Several weeks ago the members of the
Mission Tabernacle, one of Rockford's big'
Swedish churches, clubbed together and
bought the'pastor, Rev. F. M. Johnson, a
bioycle, on which he has become an ex-
pert. Now Frank Johnson, a prominent
member of the society and chairman of the
church board, has created a sensation by
tendering his resignation. He says the
sight of the pastor of his church riding a
bicycle is too mach for him, characterizing
it as sinful enjoyment. Several members
of the church take sides with the objector,
but the bicycle enthusiasts are in the ma-
jority and Rev, Mr Johnson will continue
to ride his wheel.
Detective Murray expresses his belief
that Chattelle, the Listowel fiend, would
oommit snioide as soon a8 he got a (Mance,
end should be well watched. He based his
belief upon the prisoner's actions. Mr
Murray said further that Chattelle con-
fessed all the horrible story of the crime to
him in the Stratford goal, but it would not
have done to make it known then. The
details were too horrible for recital, and
albs prisoner_etated to•-him-thab-„he-dtd' o"ob-

animated by an uncontrollable fiendish
frenzy for the time being, and could not

The Stavely Estate.
To the Editor of the Clinton New Era.
SIR,—It somewhat smacks of youth-
ful hopefulness, to be counting our
chickens before they are hatched, and
possibly the committee appointed to
look after this beautiful plum, that
t hey are open mouthed ready to catch,
whenever the Ontario Government lets
it fall, will never have any plum at all
to attend to. However, let us hope for
the best, and in the event of our hav-
ing $10,000 to spend, it would be a good
thing to let the public express their
ideas as to tate hest means of expending
that amount of money. The notion of
a hospital seems to have a good many
stvpporters. But is a hospital an at-
tractive sight at any time? To those
who have 300 or 400acres of land in the
vicinity to sell, this scheme possesses
many alluring charms. My idea, how-
ever, and which I claim a great deal
can be said for, is that the money be
expended in at least starting a system
of water supply, and the purchase of a
stone crushing machine. There is any
quantity of valuable road making ma-
terial right in our midst, all it needs is
breaking cheaply to a certain size, and
good, lasting roads will he the result.
Who can suggest anything better?
Yours, IMPROVEMENT.
[Good as this suggestion undoubtedly
IS, it could not be carried out, for the
reason that the Government will only
grant the money for some charitable
or benevolent purpose.—ED.NEW ERA.]

Jessie Keith on the rail-
road track asshe met the villain; I
fancy. I heat, her cheerily say ” good-

ger; X imagined I eaw her, the bright
sunlight lending .her strength, as she
fought with heroic desperation to pro,'
tect her honor; I could even ace her as
she perhaps tried to prevent him ttsieg
hie knife upon her, and I have endea
vored to shirt out from mental vision
the horrible eight that will suggeet its
self, of the brute ss he sto•id carving
and mutilating her l'ielple,s body. My
mind has run out on the possibilities of
like crimes being repeated. 1 have
thought painfully op the risks that in-
nocence is compelled to rim, and have
asked myiyelf again and again, what
can be done to guard against these
thins. Girls must go to and fro in
public; they cannot very well carry
weapons for defence. \4 hat are they
to do? If they could almost break the
head of every man who insults them,
they would win public approval, but
they lack the courage to do this.
Think as I may I fail to find a satis-
factory safeguard other than the ex-
ercise of caution, womanly discretion,
and the absence of everything that
tends to undue familiririty, and even
this is no protection for little children.
Wednesday night I was taken back
to the, scenes of my boyhood, I saw
little gaffers lugging away big gates
and I recalled the time when I had
done the same thing. And as I sat
around my fireside while the ueigbbor's
children pulled taffy, ducked for apples
and amused themselves with other
Halloweve sports, I sighed for the
good old days of bygone years when I
could enjoy myself just as they did.
Bub how time rolls away; here I ata,
suffering with the rheumatism, every
joint aching, while the gray hairs
compel me to believe I'ni getting to be
an old man.
I was talking with a friend about
the low price of wheat. Said he, "now
if the people in the old country— who
are wealthy—would only pay five cents
a bushel more for wheat than market,
price, why we'd would get that much
nacre and they'd never miss it." I
asked him if he thought this could be
done, and he assured me in the most
solemn manner that he believed it
possible, and I could not convince him
that an article was worth just what it
would bring in open competition in the
markets of the world, and nothing
more. OLD SKEDUNK.

cattle, ,5calves. and 1,300sheep and lambs of-
fered at the East End Abattoir to -day. The

and trading was fairly brisk,but the prices con-
tinue very low, involving more or less losses

animals at 3c, and common cattle at 2 to 21c per,
