A LESSON.

The trial OF Albert II. Smith of Westfield
Mass, for the murder of Charles G. Sack
EFT, ended on Friday with q verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree
AS our readers will remember. the murder
took place on the Goth of November last
as the murdered man was returning from
a theatre in company with Miss Jennie
Bates, and was melted by jealousy. Smith
claimed that Miss Bates belonged to him.
The defence was insanity. The Spring
field Republican in commenting upon this
case says:
The lesson of this sad business is very
plain and simple one. 1t is the old, old
lesson, which has been so often taught
before. of the responsibility which the per-
son incurs who trif1es with the sexual re-
atlons. One does not need to consider
Jennie Bates the transgressor OF any law
to feel that her conduct in this whole mat
ter has been culpably thoughiless and in
discreet. Distasteful as she claims,-and
there is no reason 10 doubt truly Smiths
attentions to her finally became. it is hard
y possible to resist the conclusion that her
treatment of him during the early period
OF their acquaintance was such as no wo-
man has right to risk toward any man
except the one she intends to marry. Sup.
pose she had nothing else in view than a
harmless Irritation; that she simply en-
iOyed his admiration of her, and en-
couraged it for her own amusement with
out serious thought of what might be the eff
feet upon the man she was thus feeding
with hope that he might become her hus-
band,-suppose all this, none the less does
it remain true that she cannot be held
blameless. Not that Jennie Bates has
been an especial sinner above the
rest OF her sex in Westfeld-or Spring.
field either, for that matter. She took her
| chances, AS hundreds of girls have done
the past twelvemOnth, in a perilous game
they escaped by good luck, Jennie didn't;
that's the difference. The results which
followed in her case have warning for
other young women and young men as
well. The lesson of it is this, that the
man or woman who begins Irritation is
bound to think of the possible consequen-
ccs; should reflect on the peril of being
suddenly borne on some violent wave or
unsuspectcd undertow out from the pleas
ant surf bathing of compliment and senti-
ment into the deep ocean Of passion. In
other words, the man who for his own
amusement encourages Il woman to be-
lieve she is to be his wife, the woman who
SNes iosei Ieason u nope ne may BE-
come her husband, however thoughtless-
ly or heedlessly it may be done,-must
understand that it is not human happiness
alone that is being trifed with, but hu-
man life.
! Is this rather solemn doctrine ? Posi-
bly,; but it is Il solemn text, as we'll
Sackett in his grave, Smith shiverng be-
fore the gallows, Jennie Bates widowed
before she is a wfe--tt is rather sober

AN ADVANCE IN CoAL-The great coal mo-
nopoly is pla ying its hand just at present very
boldly, and, in spite of diminished Idemand
and superintendent supply, the prices tend
steadily upward. Unless there is break in
the plans somewhere, the monthly advance in
the price of coal at wholesale will continue at
the rate of from ten to twenty-five cents ton
until November. This gives an advance at re
tail of from thirty to sixty cents ton. Con.
corning the advance in coal, and its causes, the
Commercial Advertiser says:
'The attempts to produce a strike among the
miners, of which the whispers come to us daily
from the Schuylkill and Lackawana regions, is
the old story of the monopolists to effect their
object in making and maintaining an advance,
and to shift the responsibility for the increased
price upon the working men of the region from
which the coal is produced,
The combination by which, at the opening of
the shipping season, the large companies put
their heads together and agreed to crush out
the mddleman in the trade and put the price
up to suit themselves, and make the coal con-
sumers pay for it, was bold movement, but
one which was upheld by the millions of CAPT.
tai and the thousands of acres of coal land
which the companies represent"

Out West the broken-down political hacks
are blistering their hands moving, in order

A REIrcIous wAR.-The church at Moncton

A RELIGIOUS Wharf.-The church at Moncton
N. b., is excited on account of the high church
proclivities of its rector, Rev. Mr. Walker, and
on Sunday last the feeling vented itself in open
war, which is thus described by the ST. John
Telegraph: m
On Saturday it was alleged that the Walker
party had secured keys that would open the
church doors, and during the day Mr..
Walker posted notice on the church that he
would preach on Sunday at IL and o'clock.
The low churchmen thcreupon changed the
locks and placed watchman inside.
On Sunday, at IL o'clock, there was large
gathering at the church: the low churchme n
apprehending violence to the locks, and being
determined to prevent Mr., Walkers admission.
Mr.. Walker presented himself at the door and
demanded admittance, and was answered by
some party inside, supposed to be the watch
man, ''stand back" and the report of pistol
firing blank cartride, was heard. Mr.. Mccain,
one of last years church wardens, coming up,
Mr.. Walker demanded that he open the church;
but Mccain declared that Mr.. Walker should
never enter the building while he was warden,
and spoke his mind freely, using strong Ian
guage. The gathering discussed the matter for
a time and then dispersed.
Mr.. Walkers friends say he demanded adj
mittance as mere matter of form. That they
required the fact of refusal before applying for
a prohbtory injunction, which they claim will
result in the sheriff being called upon to force
the building open. The low church party on
the other hand. say they have engaged Mr.. Pal
mer to serve certain papers on Bishop Medley,
and propose to put his lordship into court.
