In spite of the strenuous efforts to pro
cure the pardon of Riel, the noted Cana
dian rebel" or, if that failed, an indefinite
suspension of his execution, Rel was exc.
cuted early on Monday morning, at Regi-
na the capitol of the Northwest Territory
by special order Of the Dominion Govern.
ment. The execution was within the
prison walls, but about 20 persons being
present beside squad of mounted police.
Tho ~yecutioner was freighter named
Jack Henderson, who was once taken pris-
oner by ltiel, and who travelled one hun.
dred miles for this chance to get even with
him. Riel, In reply to the question of the
executioner whether he had anything to
say, under advice of the priests in attend
ancc, declined to voice his grievances to
the hangman and his assistants.
OF course, the execution of Riel ELECTS a
great deal of conflicting comment, but the
weight of opinion, beyond any doubt, Is
that ii was mistake, If not gross wrong.
Aside from the TACT that Riel was unques
tionably of unsound mine, the admitted
fact that his Crime---if crime IL was-was
purely political, and that he was but one of
thousands that had risen in armed protest
against long series Of wrongs which it
woc.d lave better become the government
to redress than to goad the sufferers to
armed resistance. Meantime nearly half
abe population of Canada is French, by
whom, without exception, Rel is regarded
as martyr, and as the French and non.
French elements of the Dominion popula-
ion have long stood in almost fighting re-.
lation to each other, it is more than proba-
Bile that this last outrage, added to the
small pox irritation, may soon lead to seri,
Gus trouble over there.

thing so disreputable, but when it is known
that copies of these circulars were in his
office at least five days before the election,
and that they were circulated from there
by regular members of the local republi-

take some pretty strong atlidaylts on the
part of Judge Dibell to acquit him of the
charge of having had at least an inkling Of
the infamous business.

a Strange Confession.

Most of the readers of the FREE TRADER
doubtless remember the clrcum stances OF
the murder of II, p. Allen, of Sandwich,
ILL.,, in February, 1880, and the trial and
conviction of William Thomas of the
crime, and his sentence to the pententiary
for II wears. And now comes convict in
the Joliet penitentiary, named James
Young, who COnfesseS that ii was he, and
not Thomas, who murdered Allen, and that
Thomas is being punished for crime Of
which he was wholly innocent. Young
was taken before Judge Kellum, at Syca-
more, last week, and being arraigned for
the murder, plead guilty, giving a minute
account Of how the crime was committed
1t will he remembered that the evidence at
the trial Of Thomas-all of which was
printed in the FREE TRADER at the time
was purely circumstantial, and now the
facts AS detailed by Young clear up many
which at the trial seemed
inexplicable, Yet Judge Kellum was I'M
willing TO accept the confession of Young
until jury of physicians had passed upon
the question Of his sanity, and the verdict
of such jury being that he was unquestion-
ably sane, Young was sentenced to impris
onment for life for the crime OF course
this ought at once to release Thomas, who
has alre Idy served four Of his seventeen
years sentence, but who from the day of
his arrest to the present has ever stoutly
asserted his innocence. And though, as
many still believe, Young may be crank,
the Governor ought at least without delay
to pardon either him or Thomas, as 1t Is
clearly wrong to punish two men for a
crime which only one of them can have
committed

Foreign.

The news IN regard to the Eastern ques
ton during the week has related almos
wholly to the open Lostilities commenced
by Serv1a against Bulgaria, the Servian
amy having invaded Bulgaria, and after
number of successful engagements and
few reverses shown its ability to accom-
plish its aims as against Bulgaria alone.
These are to possess itself of strip of ter
ritory extending from Sofia northward 10
Widdin said territory having formerly be-
longed to Servia, but by the treaty OF Der
lin was added TO Bulgaria. The latter hav.
ing broken the Berlin treaty by annexng
Eastern Roumelia, Serva now claims that
she has also a right to disregard the treaty
of Berlin and reclaim from Bulgaria her
former territory. The success of Servia
would be easy enough If she had to do
with Bulgaria alone, but Bulgaria, con.
structively at least Is a part of Turkey and
cannot, therefore, even if so inclined, com
ply with Servias demand without the con
sent of the Sultan and therefore appeals to
the latt.r for aid to repel the Serbs, and
the Sultan is understood 20 have expressed
his readiness TO extend such aid on condi
ton that Prince Alexander will recede
from the late annexation of Roumelia, to
which, the latest dispatches now say, he
has assented This will at once bring
against Servia the whole power of the Tur.
kish army, which will be able to crush
Servia in no time. UnlesS-Austria which
is understood to be egging Servia on, takes
the field against the Turk, and then the
ball will open in earnest. For If Austria
goes into the fight, Russia will pitch in,
and in strife between Austria, Russia and
the Turk, of course, all Europe will newt
ably be drawn, and such war must follow
as Europe has not seen in many years.
The British invasion of Burmah is slow
ly but surely progressing to successful
issue. The forces under Gen, Prendergast
have advanced as far as the town Of Mimi.
ly, which it has strongly garrisoned, and
expects to reach Mandalay, the capitol, by
next Tuesday. The taking Of that city
will doubtless end the war and with it the
career OF the feroCious and alrocious King ,
Theebaw.
