THE RIEL EXECUTION
REASONS FOR THE DEATH OF THE
REBEL LEA DER.

MONTREAL, December 2.-The defense of the
Dominion government on the execution of Riel is
published The document which five col
is in the shape of report to the privy coun-
Gil by the minister of justice, Sir Alexander Camp
bell and reviews the whole subject in an exhaust
i've manner, showing that according to the author
ity of the Roman Catholic church in the North
west, Riel was not entitled to any sympathy.
His motives were purely mercenary, he be-
ing willing at any time to sell out
for few thousand dollars. The question of sanity
is satisfactorily settled,
The report concludes as follows Guilty of high
treason for second time, he had no more claim to
that indulgence which it has been the habit to
cord the political offenders But that is not the
most revolving part of his crime. No denies
that it was he who raised the Indian tribes of the
northwest, and that he had been the direct cause
of the frightful massacre of number of persons,
among whom Catholic missionaries have perished
victims to savage barbarity. Ask all the priests,
all the half-breeds of the northwest,
who is the murderer of Fathers
Tafaro and LeMarchand, and they will all reply
"Riel." He alone had been able to persuade the
Indians to rise, and he is responsible for the muir
ders which the rising has caused. Now, to raise
the Indians is regarded by every government which
has them under control a crime which deserves
death; for it is crime against all the laws of hu
manlty, Indian warfare being a war of extermina-
ton without quarter, without mercy for defense
less people, for women and children. 1t is the
greatest possible outrage upon civilization, and
crime which falls outside the class of political Of
tenders.
