Blaine Senfeaced 10 Baniskmenf.
From the Imperial Standard, washsagtOn, Oe-
tober ], 1889.
An official telegram published else
where in this issue brings intelligence
OF the trial and conviction by Military
Commission Of James @. Blaine, OF
Maine, and the sentence Of banishRIent
passed by the Commission will in all
probability be approved by His Imperial
Majesty. We think the Commission
erred in its decision-not as 10 guilt,
but as to the punishment Of the oaen-
der. The time has passed for measures
/ of mercy. Justice demands something
more. Il demands stern retributiOn Tor
such offences as this man Blaine has
committed, and the punishment award
| ed should have been death. Let there
be no tri6ing with traitors! When
twenty SO called Union Leaguers were
shot in Cincinnati il should have been
warning to rebels that the policy OF
the Imperial Government was not TO re-
gard sedition as chiid's play. or what
use Is BAN. .hmentn such men as john
| Sherman, James G. Blaine and Ruther-
ford B. Hayes can coneoct their plots
and plans against the safety Of the En-
pIEe on the Canadian side Of the border
and send their emissaries To spread dis
loyalty in every part Of the country.
We are not apologists for the course
thus far pursued by the Imperial Gov
ernment. We have, and must continue
| TO have, q strong government, and va
cillation or timidity. be they in what
quarter they may. must neither be con-
doned nor tolerated. The lessons Of the
past must be forgotten.

| demned man, Thomas Mast, who was
caricaturist on Harper's Weekly before

June last, was accused Of high treason
by plotting against the crown and Dig
nity of His Imperial Majesty and by
circulating a so-called cartoon repre-
senting His Imperial Majesty as Nero.
The execution was private, but IL is un-
derstood that the death vas painful, the
wretched traitors life not being extinct
