uprising is imminent.
Yesterday morning, when news of the respite
was received from Ottawa, flags were hoisted at
St. Boniface, French town across the river
from here, and a, mob of Winnipeg

ing to their heels and hiding in their houses. The
palace of Archbishop Tache, who was instru-

infurated English, who propose to lynch Riel If
he is not hanged legally.

Has Luther Sterling Had Fair Treat
ment?

To the Editor Of the Press:

that has been committed by the dismissal Of
Luther Sterling from the police force without
hearing Here is an officer that for thirteen years
has served the city as policeman, and so far as
can hear without one word of criticism rejecting
upon his faithfulness, his uprightness or his deyo
ton TO his duty. Because he would not swear to
what the Marshal wanted without being given an
opportunity to be heard he is dismissed the
service on charges that were never investigated
fOr the er perte statements of the Marshal rein
forced by the Mayor cannot be called nyesHga~
tom with the consent of the Aldermen in private
session. is this decent treatment7 Is it fat to
an upright eitizen2 1t looks as u the Republican
Aldermen were afraid to stand up against the
projects Of the Mayor-were billied into TINS
course; and yet, as Mr. Bell In substance says,
this was simply device to get rid Of Republican
member of the police force. II this Is what the
new police law means, the sooner It is amended
the better, The Aldermen owe 1t TO themselves
and the public they represent TO RECONSIDER lnelr
action and give this man a hearing. The PRESS
is generally willing TO see fair play. Will 1t not
