without avail Mr.. Bard was about ffty-cght yeari

The Billing. murder Tsiai.

Our correspondence from Ballston gives
us somewhat moro Of the horizon Of the
strange tragedy that is under investigation
in the court there. In the murder Of the
wife of the man on trial it has boen recog-
nized hitherto that domestic drama. re-
voting in its tone, yet possessing the in
terest that is inseparablc from all the fiercer
human experiences, reached crisis and 1t
was precisely because the assassination
was recognized as crisis in o terribly pain
full story rather than Gs On event that stood
alone and was without any antecedents OF
passion that might have led up to it-pre-
cisely for that reason and for no other that
suspicion immediately fell upon the hus-
band as the one person of the drama equal to
such crime and likely to bo tempted to
il. Was he the sort Of man to do such a
deed? is an inquiry that inevitably comes up
in such case; and the country people in
Saratoga answer with whispers and winks,
"He shot his own brother"--and they
shrug their shoulders at the declaration
that that was the accident of hunting

Indian Ira snps.

The dispatches from. Kansas about Indian
depredations are not to be construed as in
dications of border war; A few fugitive
Cheyennes have dropped into their favorito
pastimes of house burning and cattle steal
ing, and have undoubtedly inspired oil bor-
derers with ON intense dcsire TO send these
irrepressible children of nature to the
happy hunting grounds whore no white
man cares to 20, much less to build barn
and 90 to cattle raising. The present dem
onstration is very different from an organ
lied border raid. The Indian has pro-
crossed far enough in the broad path
way of civilization TO develop the
tramp, and the savage tramp, like his
white prototype. is by nature destroyer
and thief The principal difference be-
tween them is that the white vagrant is pas
sively endured, while his red-sknned
brother is hunted with SABRE carbine and
other persuasives of character to which
alone the tramp yields respect 1t is a
striking comment, however, upon the con-
dition of our army to read that the troops
who opposed the predatory Cheyenncs were
assisted by body of armed cattle guards.
Such O combination has naturally the effect

ience to continue to act with it during the
short residue Of his stay. 1t will be every
way more fit and appropriate for the out
going Ministry to resign their offices into
the hands of the new Governor General on
the assembling of the new Parliament,
when all branches OF the government can
take a fair start together.
Whether Sir John Macdonald will be as
high-toned a protectionist in Office as he
has been in opposition may be doubted.
1t would be wiser in the interest of pro-
lection itself to snake haste slowly"
moderate enhancement of duties ut the out
set would be safer. since he needs to pro-
vide against q reaction. If he should carry
high tariff through Parliament, causing
large amount Of capital to be embarked In
new manufacturing establishments, and then
should be thrown out of power before the new
establishments got into successful opera
ton, the owners of the misdirected capital
would denounce him for their ruin. If he
is the wise and cautious statesman that
we suppose him to be he will begin with
moderate protective duties and wait to see
whether the policy on which his party has
been elevated to power expresses the de-
liberate and stable convictions of the Cana
dian people. If he is really an astute and
far sighted statesman the use he will make
of his strong protectionist majority will be
to employ it as an instrument for securing
trade advantages in new reciprocity treaty
with the United States.
