Riels rebellion has come to an end sud.
denly and decislvely. Riel himself Is In
custody, and his followers are submitting
without conditions as fast as they can
reach the camps Of the Canadian troops.
Canada may we'll be congratulated over
the early termination of q warfare that
has already beon costly, and at one time
appeared likely to be prolonged to an OK
tent sufficient to strain the military and
monetary resources of the Dominion to
the utmost. Con. Middleton has been
made the subject of q largo amount of
adverse criticism and cheap newspaper
wit, but he undoubtedly has the best of
his critics now. Operating in wild and
difficult country, he seems to have
handled his men we'll, moved them for
ward with vigor aud celebrity, and when
the stronghold OF tho enemy was reached
made his attack with Rsod judgment and
without hesitation or mistake. Above
all IL Is to his credit that his success has
been achieved without anything near the
measure OF bloodshed that was expected.
The experience OF the Canadian troops
was one with which we arc familiar
enough in our own history. Man against

The New York coiiectorship.

Tho collectorship of the port of New

Cabinet position. The President is justi-

for that office resident of tho Mississippi

part Of the exports, and also consumes the
largest percentage of the imports, and in

disposed to take much trouble to avoid

New YORK jurios indulge in queer
antics at times, but one jury at least has
just rendered verdict of which every
member can be justly proud as long as he
lives. Crowley, the brutal villain who
wearing the uniform of sergeant of
police, criminally assaulted poor work
ing girl few days ago, was found guilty,
and will spend not less than ten years in
prison. Crowley was one Of type of men
ofwhom too many disgrace the police force
OF New York city, and the swift punish
ment of his crime not only avenges the
wrongs of poor Maggie Morris, but should
also have its effect upon other men OF
sim liar brutal instincts.
