Tue French Canadians have promptly
in~augurated a movement to secure a com
mutation Of Riel's sentence TO imprison
ment for life or for a long term of years
It would doubtless be good policy GU the
part Of the Dominion Government to in
directly grant a favorable response to the
thousands OF petitions which are to be
showered upon it from this scourcc.
The developments at the trial go far to
show that Riel is a fanatical crank, who
while dangerous if allowed to run at large,
would be shorn of all power for further
mischief If kept in close confinement To
hang him, however, would be to elevate
him at once to the dignity of martyr to
the cause of liberty in the eyes Of the
great mass Of the French Canadians. 1t
is a question whether he would not be
more powerful for mischief dead than
living under such circumstances.
II would require no stretch Of judicial
authority to decide him mentally unbal-
aneed and a proper subject for asylum
restraint, a proceeding which would de.
prive him Of the power to make trouble in
the future aud remove any prctext which
his misguided countrymen might have for
making trouble on his account.

"Gath'." Success as IA Writer.


George Alfred Townsend, journalist
and novelist, probably makes more
money by newspaper work than any
other writer in the country. His in
come exceeds $50, 900 a year. He writes
for half a do en- papers, and is well
paid by all of them. ct he finds time
in the midst OF his duties to turn of an
occasional novel, and to make n short
lecture tour now and then. He owns
the house in which he lives, and this
must have COS him something in the
neighborhood of $50, OCo.
Townsend s success is due mainly to
the systematic manner in which he goes
to work. He probably possesses the
most valuable and c tensiYe set OF scrap
booSs in the nited States. In the room
in viii h he does the bulk of his work
he has the walls lined with these vol
umes of personal information yer
since he has cen in newspaper life he
has cut everything Of n personal char
acter out of the periodicals coming to
his hand. and these slips he has pasted
into hooks. viii n are subse iuently in
de ed and arranged in order. When
r. Townsend wants to write anything
ahout any man of general importan g
he merely hunts up the person s name
n his index, and the chances are that
he possesses a pretty clear record, not
only Of the doings. Tut OF most of the

The army people who have been assist
ing in the Grant funeral ceremonies do
not think much of DIR. Newman's at
tempt TO make out Grant a devoutly re-
ligious man. They all say that Grant
had a sincere respect for peoples re
liGious views, but that he never in all his
life made any professions of piety. They
point to the fact that while the general was
writing nearly every day up TO the day of
his death, he never made in all these
writings a single reference to religion.
Gen. Sherman, who is about as religious
a man as was Grant, was approached by
an intimate army friend soon after the
Newman sermon. Said this friend.
You see what is before you. Grant has
been made a religious man. Within the
next twenty years you will probably be
held up by some person as a saint
Sherman reply was irreverent but very
characteristic. Said he: Grant is dead

The mistaken zeal with which certain
Republican papen rush to the support Of
every nominal Republican generally a
Republican for revenue only who is
turned out of office, must be dishcarten
ing to the better element in that party.
Several instances of this unseemly haste
todefcnd a bad subject have recently been
afforded here aud elsewhere. One would
think by the frantic cutlery of certain
papers that these men were the backboue
of the Republican party, and that its ex-
istencc depended ON their success.
Men who have selfish motives at heart
aud personal motives to serve. are always
loudest in their profession and proclama-
ton Of party loyalty BY u liberal cx-
penditurc OF money for party purposes,
they gain a position which j, always used
to their personal advantage. Such men
have no real political connections or
attachments.
As jay Could. the arch-manpulator
OF politics for gain. said of himself. these
men are democratic in a Democratic
community. and Republican in a Repub-
lean community.

peso rose of Peru for q SIMILAR amount,
the l5-centime Of Reunion for 30

distinct varieties OF old Mauritius for n
