EDITORIAL NOTES.
A tariff should be maintained to keep
out the products of cheap foreign labor,
The Natioual Policy aims at keeping
our own markets for our own pro-
ducers.
Protection builds up industries and
these create a demand for the farmers'
produce.
Canada should work up its own raw

This is the object of the National Policy' t
TENT YEARS OF FREE TRADE.
The result of Great Britain's ex-
perience with Free Trade for the past
ten years can hardly be encouraging to
the Cobden Club, or even to the advo-
cates of Free Trade in this country. A.
comparison of Britain's foreign com-
merce for the years 1895 and 1896
shows; That in the quantities of
foreign goods imported for consumption
into the United. Kingdom, there was an
increase of 441 per cent., while the in.
crease in quantities of British products
exported was only 211 per cent. or 28 I
per cent. less than the increased quan-
tity of imports.
As to prices, we find that there was a
ditions so that the fact has been esteb-
lished. that Canadian Mutter eau sue-
cessfully compete with the finest grades
of the product of : the chief dairying
countries of Europe. There is now
every prospect of the butter trade of
Canada becoming as great a source of
profit tothe farmers as the cheese trade,
This is altogether due tothe wise ac-
tion of the Dominion Government, and
Mr. Derbyshire,. President of the Onta-
rio Creamery Association and ex -Presi-
dent of the Ontario Creamery Associa-
tion and ex -President of the Ontario
Dairymen's Association and others
prominently connected with the dairy
industries have acknowledged, in the
strongest possible terms the great value
of the service thus rendered to the farm-
ers of the country.
Mr. Derbyshire says:—"The. Govern-
ment could not have wished for a more
splendid justification of its action than
the results which have followed. Our
butter was introduced into the English
market, and its superior quality became
known. The old country buyers si,on
learned that Canada could supply the
finest quality of creamery butter de-
manded and on the English market it
is the very best they want and are
willing to pa -y for. Professor Robert-
son,msoaged the whole business very
skilfully, and last year's venture ended
by costing the country very little—a
small outlay, indeed, for the opening
up of such a magnificent new market.
If it had not been for what the Domin.
ion Government did, the butter making
business would have flattened out and

In addition to this the Government is
doing what it is not for any other in

farms at a large cost, on which experts
are made to test what are the best
grains, grasses and fruits to grow, how
they can best be grown, by what pro-
cess of tillage and by use of what man
ores, what are the big classes of stock
to raise, and how they can be earliest
and cheapest fitted for the market.
How best cheese and butter can be pro-
duced, what grades of cattle are best

cheapest and best foods for such cattle.

A NEW SUNDAY DRESS!

A lady who understands the use and
value of Diamond Dyes writesas follows:
"I had a light blue dress, made of
expensive material, but so light in
shade that it faded quickly. It was to
good to be cast aside, so one evening I
took it to a dyeing establishment, and
was surprised when they told me they
would dye is some dark color for two
dollars. I did not care for dark colors
so I took it home again. The next day
I bought a package of Diamond Dye,
and colored it a beautiful Cardinal Red
and it now loohs just like new, so that
I now have a new dress for Sundays,
and it only cost ten cents,"

INTENSE INDIGNATION. THE LAPOINTE MURDER.
New the CerHss Bili Will Affect the People
of'tvindsor--Hwve to Resign TheirPosi-
tions in Detroit or Live in That t;.Pty.:
Windsor, May 22.—The ieotiyity tbpt
is being displayed at Washington over`the
Alien Labor law, and ° the apparent
earnestness with which Congressman
Corliss, who is fathering the menses& is
endeavoring to have it enacted into law
before the final adjournment of Connor -IS
takes place, at first caused a feelingof
alarm and distrust here, but that feeling
has within the past few day 'been gl(eatly
intensified, until now it approaches
almost to consternation. The provisions
of the measure are such 'oat, with per-
haps half a dozen exceptions, ev%y
resident. of Windsor who isnew employed
in Detroit will have to either snovehim-
self and his family across the river or else
give up his position. Windsor is practically
the only place in' the tipper Provinces
where Canatfiens have facilities that will
enable them to remain in Canada and
work in 'the United States. There are
about 500 men, boys and girls who cross
to Detroit daily, while, on the other
haand, some 300 by actual count cross
over to work in Canada, ana these are
principally men drawing large pay. A
conservative estimate of the number of
workers who live on one side of the river
and work on the other is shown by the
following figures, which are the result
of careful observance and enquiry on the
part of your correspondent: From Wind -
ser, 426 men, boys and girls; from
Walkerville, 18 boys and girls; .total,
444. From Detriot to Walkerville, 96
men; from Detroit too Windsor, 216 men,
principally skilled mechanics with
families in Detroit; total 312. Examina
tion 'shows that the wages earned in
Windsor and Walkerville by Detroit peo-
ple are largely in excess of the money
that is taken oat of Detroit by Cana-
dians. With few exceptions, the Ameri-
cans employed in. Windsor arc either
skilled tradesmen, or hold good positions
with American firms having branches
here. Far instance, the Canadian Typo
graph Company,which does a large trade
in the manufacture of bicycles, has 110
men in its employ, six of whom lire in
Detroit, and draw on an average $2.50 a
day. All of this money goes to Detroit.
Windsoritee. on the other hand, spend at
Iease half their Detroit earnings in De-
troit.
Should the Corliss measure become a
law, as seems most probable at thio time,
there are few households in Windsor that
would not be affected more or less, and
in many cases nothing short of dire ruin
seems possible. Your correspondent was
informed this evening, on indisputable
authority. that already many Canadians
who work in Detroit hare been notified
that they must move over or forfeit their
positions, and this is but the beginning.
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
The Presbyterian Committee -Receive Re.
ports and Discuss Some Important Ques-
tions.
Toronto, May 21.—The Foreign Mis-
sion Committee of the Presbyterian
Church. in Canada met on Tuesday and 1.
Wednesday, in the board rooms of the
society,in the Confederation Life build-
ing. Mr. Hamilton. Cassels was the con-
vener of the meeting. The work in the
different missions conducted in China,
Central India and among the Chinese
and Indians in Canada was passed in re-
view.
The reports submitted indicated
that there is much energetlq,work being
done by the missionaries laboring in the
various fields. Several new missionaries
were appointed, who will take up their
duties in the fall of this year.
The matter of polygamy among the
Chinese convertswas discussed at great
length, but the committee could come to
no decision. It will be referred back to
the Presbytery of Honan, with instruc-
tions to deal with specific cases as cir-
cumstances demand.
The books of the society were closed
on the 30th of April last and, showed a
deficit of $3,784,81. To meet this it has
been arranged to hold special collections
in many of the churches on the 24th and
31st of this month.
IN RAILWAY CIRCLES.
A New Appointment by the Grand Trunk --
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson's Movements -
Railway News.
Toronto, May 23.—Mr.. J. H. Hanna,
formerly traveling agent of the Grand.
Trunk, has been promoted to the position
of Assistant Foreign Freight Agent of the
Grand Trunk System. Mr. Hanna will
have his headquarters in Toronto, where
he is well known. He has been for a
number of years in the employ of the
Grand Trunk,
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, President
of the Grand Trunk, isexpected to re-
main in this country for some six weeks
yet. At present Sir Chairesis inspecting
the eastern portion of the road, but it is
understood that when he comes west he
will make a stay in Toronto. Under the
present arrangement, Sir Charles will
sail for England about July 18.
Sir W. C. Van Horne, President of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, has potified
the committee of the Joint Traffic Associ-
ation that the Canadian Pacific will be-
come a member of that organization. He
and Mr. Shaughnessy, the Vice -President
of she road, are now on the way back
from a trip to the Pacific coast, and are
expected in Montreal next week.
A SLICK BANK BURGLAR.
Is ` Count" Drax Shinburn, but He Will Do
Four Years Now.
Albany, N. Y., May 23.—"Cont"
Max Shinburn, one of the most daring
bank burglars, and who during his career
has stolen upwards of five millions of
dollars from the banks of this. country
and Europe, was to -day convicted on the
charge of burglary in the second degree
in breaking into the Middleburg National
Bank, Sohoharie County, and Was sen-
tenced to four years and eight months in
Dannem.ore. A sheriff from New Hamp-
shire was at Schobarie all during the
trial, and was ready with papers to ar-
rest Shinburn in case the jury shouldac
quit him on the Middleburg charge.
The Gun Kicked Violently.
Stratford May 21.—A peculiar and
possibly fatal accident occurred last even-
ing in the Township of Downie, near
here. William Kelly was shooting at a
mark with a double-barrelled gun,which,
being overcharged, kicked violently and
was thrown over Kelly's shoulder. In
the act the second barrel was discharged,
shooting his brother, Michael Kelly, and.
John Welsh, who were behind him. Over
a hundred shots entered Kelly's breast
and abdomen, while -Welsh received some
in'tbe face, the most serious being one
in his eye. The ultimate result of their
injuries( is problematical, none of the
shot having been retaored as yet.
Prisoner Is .Acttcutted on the Ground of
Insanity -•The Judge Charges Strongly in
Favor of theAccused,
Brookville, My 24.—The now famous.
Lapointe case, after four days' trial,
came to a close yesterday morning, when
the prisoner was, adjudged not guilty on
the ground of insanity, His Lordship
was on hand as 'usual at 9.30 o'clock, but
long before that the court -room had. com-
menced to fill up, and shortly after
Crown Prosecutor elute commenced his
address to the jury. Lapointe was in his
usual position within the dock, and bear-
ing his usual manner of indifference as
to what was going on aroundhiln. When
taken to his call yesterday at the close of
the day's proceedings he threw himself
on his cot, and in a few minutes was
sound asleep. He slept throughout the
night, and when summoned this morn-
ing 'to accompany he goal officials to the
court -room obeyed with the cheerfulness
and alacrity wh.icb has characterized his
whole being since becoming an inmate
of the institution.
When Mr. Clute arose to address the
jury the utmost silenceprevaled. He said
he would sump y confine his efforts to
assisting the jury in reaching a conclu-
sion
onclusion as to theresponsibility of the prison-
er. He contended that the criminal code,
as it stood to -day, and which he pro-
ceeded to read, clearly defined that a
prisoner committing a crime along the
lino of a delusion which he might hold.
was not responsible for his act. Mr.
Mute reviewed the evidence carefully,
andlar
c med that the act of .the prisoner
was not along the lines of any delusion
which it was assumed he held, and he
was therefore responsible for the murder.
The safety of our people depended upon
the firm administration of justice, and.
by the severe penalty of death being im-
posed in this case cranks would be deter-
red fromtaking human life, and the
safety of life: and property would be
tended more secure.
Tne judge's charge lasted but half an
hour, and was strongly infavor of the
prisontr. It was an able summary, and:
clearly pointed one the duty of the jury-
men in dealing with the case. At the
close of his address he announced that in
case the prisoner was found guilty on the
insanity plea he would order his incar- ,
ceration, where he would remain subject
to the will of the Lieutenant -Governor.
The jury retired at 11 o'elcck, and a
civil case was taken up. The ladies, of
whom a large number were present, :at

jury. At 11.20 his Lordship was informed CORN
the jury were ready to give their verdict,
and they flied in and the roll was called.
The prisoner appeared to be a trifle more
interested than usual, but did not appear
to change countenance one iota as the
verdict was pronounced. The foreman
announced they had found a verdict of
"not guilty" on the ground of insanity.
Lapointe will remain in gaol here
until orders are received to place him in
the insane ward of the Kingston peni-
tentiary.
Dr. Chamberlain, inspector of prisons,.
who had become acquainted with the
prisoner on .his official visits to the goal,
was present, and talkeda few minutes
with the prisoner, who seemed to be in a
very happy mood. To another spectator
he expressed his surprise over his insanity
plea, and gave the impression that he
thought be would have to be brought
before the police magistrate.
DESERONTO FIRE.
Destruction of the Greater Part of the
Town.
Deseronto, Ont., lay 25.—A fire broke
out about 3.20 o'clock this afternoon
which devastated the better portion of
the town. Hundreds of houses have been
razed to the ground.
Mills, elevators, thousands of ties, and
posts, and millions of shingles, and im-
mense piles of lumber lending added
fury to the flames.
As soon as it was found that the town
fire appliances, together with the com-
plete fire equipment of the Rathbun Coin -
pang, was unequal to the herculean lash
of preventing the spread of the flames,
the fire engines of Kingston and Napanee
were telegraphed for. An immediate re-
sponse was made to the cry for aid, and
the engines were at once despatched by.
special train, but before they could reach
the panic-stricken town, and be brought
to play upon the flames the fire had got
completely beyond control and even with
their great assistance for the time being
all efforts to check the spread of the con-
flagration have been ineffectual.
The Rathbun. Compal will undoubtedly
be the heaviest losers, owing to the posi-
tion of their works, but there is scarcely
a man in Deseronto who will not suffer
severely.
It has so tar been impossible to aecer-
tarn the origin of the fire, and how it
came to gain such headway before being
discovered. '
Later.—The wires are again working,
and it iso; learned that just before nine
o'clock a heavy downpour of rain, ac-
companied by thunder and lightning,.
helped to extinguish the. flames.
FROM THE CAPITAL.
The Horse Trade With England—A Serious
Fire at Mechanicsville.
Ottawa, May 24.—A deputation of
gentlemen interested in the shipment on
horses to Great Britain had an Interview
with Major Gourdeau, Deputy Minister
ek Marine and Fisheries. The deputation
consisted of Messrs. Sheridan, Boyle,
Liminess, and Russell, of Toronto, the
latter of whom is one of the largest cattle
breeders in the. Dominion, and they
urged that the shipment of horses should
be supervised by the Department of
Marine, in the same manner as the
shipment of cattle, which has proved
most satisfactory, is now done. They
pointed out several changes in the accom-
modationof horses on ship board, the in-
spection of fodder, etc., which would
tendto keep the animals in good con-
dition
ondition during the voyage and render
them more saleable : on landing, and
urged that more care should be taken to
foster this trade, which was a growing .
one, . and capable of great expansion as
Canadian horses got better known on the
other side. Major Gourdeau expressed
greatsympathy with their desire to en-
large the trade, and assured the deputa-
tion that the matter should be brought
to the attention of the Minister of Marine
and Fisheries, Mr. John Costigan, at as
early a moment as possible.
Mr. John Haggett spent Sunday in
Ottawa, and leaves in the morning for
Perth, where he will take part in the
Queen's birthday celebration.

of Iowa and. Illinois " on Sunday night,
Going an immense amount of damage to
property. Fully one hundred deaths
have been recorded, and it is feared the
fatality is much larger.
