No TREATY OF SEPARATIoN.--A Quebec
dispatch states that Mr.. Langerin, Minister of
Public Works, says that there is no foundation
whatever for the rumor of treaty of separa-
ton between Canada and Great Britain, be-
cause such a matter could only be transacted
by the Parliament of the Dominion, and that
body never heard anything of the kind. Great
Britain had made no Overtures to the Domin-
ion. 1t has been said, that in the event of war
arising from the present complications, Great
Britain will be likely to cut Canada loose, so as
to save her from the consequences of any impe-
rial action, and also to save any necessity of
defending us, but such an idea is very erroneous,
Great Britain would hold Canada with greater
tenacity as base of operutions and on the
first intimations of hostilities Canada would
most probably, be re-garrisoned.
No such treaty does or has ever existed and
no negotiations in this regard ever taken place.
certainly not recently NJ. Chanveau, Premier,
also has heard nothing of treaty of separa-
ton, and observation-disclosures Bellavis is also

no such treaty and itisvery improbable that any

During the regular afternoon session OF the leg

that the petitions which were being brought for

N. Gambetta denied this assertion. He said the

Each crime has its gradations. Though the
theft of a million and of dime are alike
breaches of law we look with different
feelings upon the pilferer of loaf and the
purloiner of railroad. So of that now fear
fully common offence Of Criminal homicide.
We may look with some compassion upon an
honorable man reused to uncomfortable pas
sion by the cruel persistency Of a grasping
creditor, demanding dues which cannot be
paid, if, in his wrath, an impetuous blow lays
his tormentor ifeless at his feet. Still, we all
admit the justice of the sentence by which
society claims the murderer's life as expiation
for the crime. Each one Of all the score of
homicidal culprits who now crowd the Tombs
has characteristic features of repulsive horror.
Yet some Of them have points which
remind us that they still are human.
OF all the degraded wretches who
Invite the hangman's halter none are more
base and loathsome than they who, after liv-
ing upon the shame Of enslaved and brutal
lied women, end by taking their lives upon
some drunken occasion Of jealousy or pique.
Is it not iendish enough for these ibels on
manhood to seduce the innocent and fair, to
consign her to living death, to sell her body
and soul to the beastly abuse of the vilest,
and live in riotous debauch upon her gains
The miserable speculator in degradation
hardly adds to his guilt when he puts bloody
end to the life Of the victim whom he assumes
to ''protect." Even the broken, frail women
who fall before this class of murderers are
entitled to live, and their slayers should feel
the sure vengeance Of the law. SO lax has the
administration Of justice become that it may
be stated as an axiom that murder, the highest
crime, is the one least liable to receive punish
ment The chief value of criminal justice is
its effect in preventing crime. To be useful
q penalty should be as inevitable as the
succession Of effect to cause No matter what
the kind or degree Of penalty for an offence,
its chief efficiency flows from its certainty and
celebrity Of execution. So long as we have
murderers kept months in the Tombs untried,
or allowed in the end TO escape unscathed, we
may expect our daily dose Of monstrous sensa-
tions. Let us reform our criminal procedure
secure prompt trials honest convictions and
faithful executions, and crime would soon de-
crease. The brutes who live in drunken riot
by criminal and shameless tyranny over fallen
women should find that when they make even
the weakest human being target for pistol
practice, hanging is not played out" For
them, if for no others, outraged society de-
mands short shrift and n long rope.

Latter Day Christianity.

We thought that the clergyman who de-

from being contaminated by assisting in the
establishment Of founding hospital, and
within few days we have heard Of pious pas
tors refusing to officiate at the last rites Of q
murdered girl, "becauss Of the erratic course
she had pursued in life.' And these men
pretend to be Christians Did they ever read

tor which had two debtors the one owed five

must disturb these Pharisaic souls to know
