The charges against MIR. Merritt

Police REroRM.-The charges against MIR Merritt
have been redrafted and remodeled in order to meet
the various technicalities of his counsel, in re-
lation to the wording of these charges We pre-
sumo, that on Monday next, the Court will meet and
proceed to try these charges against Mr. Merritt,
who at present holds situation special justice.
1t is due TO Mr. Merritt that they should be tried,
for if the proceedings be quashed without trial,
the community will believe him to have been gull
ty, and afraid to meet exposures therefore, II he
has one real friend he will be persuaded to go to
trial. 1t is also due the public that this
should be tried and disposed of on its merits as it
stands. For ten years past, the whole community
know the corruptions and abuses that have existed
in the police office, to have been gross as they
possibly could be. No officer in the establishment
would stir TO arrest either rioter, or murderer,
without a large reward. None would try to catch
a thief without pay in advance; some were leagued
with thieves; many in the pay of the most aban-
doned women brides for favors have been as noori-
Gus as the sun at day. the magistrates power has
eve been deied by some of the police officers, and
their orders derided; the lives of the gentlemen
nected with the press have been threatened and Jeo
pardized; and yet ever attempted reform.
Now therefore,, that ovement has been made to eff
feet this grand desderatum, the public veal demands,
by means of full and fair trial in the Of Mer-
rt honest exposure of the police system for the
last seven or eight years We eXhsrt the whole
community to keep their eyes on this matter; it is
ridiculous to call it political question, for MIR.
Merritt has been alternately locofeco and wing as
circumstances suited. He therefore be claim
ed by neither party, but hope for his own sake,
and the sake OF his friends that he win go to trial,
meet the charges and put them down if they arc
false. His counsel are doing him an immense inju-
ry; because, all know, that men conscious OF in
nocence never interpose technical objections to
grave accusations.

hard working, patriotic souls,as they arethey will be
astonished when they find that the first thing they

ADVICE GRATIS TO PoLrrIcI.ss Get up by
.unrisc-dont say your Prayers-Politieian. don't
want prayers-good swearing is much more useful,
il tiekles voters. The first thing is, get horn oil
beer, hard cider, or brandy and water. Let this be
renewed every half hour, till noon After noon,
renew the drink every ten minutes, so a. to keep
the steam up. Don't spare your enemies. Blow up
the other side, and never open your mouth without
q big BLACKBOARD oath. Oaths are the beauties Of
potics-the very poetry Of Politicians-and mo-
thing be done without them. Cheat iie' and
pick quarrels much a. you can. Remember that
you have only one day to enjoy all these Injuries
the British wings have cheated you out Of the other
two You therefore do all you can in the little
time you have No matter about black eyes, bloody

Wood, The Murderer of his Daughter.
We have received the following letter from Eng
land, by the South America in relation to this
and it contains the writer's signature, give II
as we receive it, OF course cannot and do not
vouch for the truth of the charges against this
wretched man but as we have heard some OF them
before, and many persons believe him to have
been originally bad man, it is most proper that we
give the letter and its contents to the world that
if the charges false, they may be met at once by
the proper denias, and put at rest for ever:
OLDHAM, Lancashire, March 18th, 1910.
SIR-Having seen extract from your paper CIV
ing the character of Wood, the murderer OF his
daughter, am induced to give you the character Of
Wood. Most persons that knew Wood in England,
were not surprised at that most atrocious act OF
msrder on his own child. His avaricious DISPOSE
tion such TO take away nearly all the feelings
of humanity; it rendered him comparatively cal
lous all the ties OF relationship and has now made
him a monster in the eyes Of the world. He was
considered thief from his infancy, and his evil
disposition has grown with his growth. lie had
two companions in his youth, who were OF the same
spirit and temper; both of them were transported
for seven years. His unfortunate victim (Sarah
Annel was born in England four years before
with being dealer in stolen goods, but the man
whom il is alleged he employed to dispose of them
was apprehended; Wood, for fear OF sharing the
same fate, ran off, and absent for some years.
He at last came over TO England, and prevailed on
the mother Of Sarah Ann to go with him to Phila
delphia, where they were married, in the Globe
Milf Tavern. His father twice transported, and
never came back again. As proof Of his, Woods
depravity, his mother left a Of money in the
hands 1t Jonathan Jackson, to be equally divided
between Wood and his brother John. Mr.. Jackson
wanted to do Justice TO both, but w God would not
hear reason; he demanded the whole sum, and
threatened To shoot jackson if he did net give il 10
him. at last Jackson gave it up through fear of his
life and thus, w God cheated his brother Of his just
due His brother John is now travelling round tins
country (England) a common chimney-sweeper.
am yours, PETER JACKSON,
Bookseller, Markei-plaee, Oldham.
PS have known Wood from his youth, and
was in America when he sued Jackson for the mo-
new belonging to him and his brother The brother,
John Wood has been at my house in oldham since
! came here and has applied to the oyerseer OF the
Poor for relief; whilst Wood still retains the mo-
new belonging to this brother in his hands.

ridiculous humbuggery of their "Log cAbns' and
s'Cidel Barrels" we imagine the meeting must nave
been quite grand affair. Wcjudge so' from the 'ol'
lowing extract Of letter under date OF the I'th INST
from a gentleman on the spot lie says line
great HARRISON meeting came off on Thursday last
and think I speak within the bounds OF tfutn'
when say that the number of people c0ngregatod
in this cty, amounted to $4,000, the finest looking
men ever saw. Not the least disorder occurred,
nor was there any drunken men to be seon in the
streets. Such an assemblage Of such men never met
South of Mason and Dixsoms line. Although po,
ltical opponents, am proud to say that am high
ly gratiied to find they muster SO many gentle,
men; and only wish they were engaged in a better
cause than that of foistrns an old fcderalist of
The Black Cockade stamp to the presidency OF this
glorious republic. We do not, howevor, by any
means despair, but are determined, with renewed
energy, to put our shoulders to the Wheel and II
possible, give them Waterloo defeat in October
