WE would again warn the farmers to
be on the lookout this summer for
sharpers. Among the many of the
most successful of frauds has been the
agency swindle. The traveller has an
article to sell. He offers to appoint a
farmer, for who he conceives a sudden
liking, agent for a certain district, and
on the promise of large profits gets the
farmers signature to an agency agree
msnt. After time it turns out that
the signature has been attached TO a
note, or to an order for large number
of the articles at retail price. This
swindle can be rendered imperative if
all concerned will make it rule to
place their signature TO no document
the nature of which they do not fully

RECORD or CONVICTIONS.

When Mr.. Gladstone has achieved
the browning success Of his career as a
statesman, and the history of free Ire
land comes to be written. the material
for an instructive chapter may be found
in small pamphlet that has just been
printed by order of the house Of COM
mons on the motion OF an English
member. It contains the record Of the
convictions of members Of Parliament
for offenses against the infamous
''crimes act,' and shows that during
the past year the Irish members and
their friends have s>done' between them
nearly seven years. Twenty-four Irish
legislators have been convicted, one an
English member, MIR, Conybeare, has a
sentence still hanging over him. MI.
Z. Condor is undergoing his fourth ID
carcaratiou, having altogether received
sentences aggregating eight months.
Mr.. Edward Harrington has to COM
plele term OF six mouths, following
upon another Of one month. Mr. Fina
cune and Mr.. Cox have sustained no
less than five prosecutions against each,
but while Cox's terms aggregate nine
months. those of his colleague reached
but five. Patrick O'Brien's two con-
victions put him in fox seven months.
But the intrepid, doughty William
O'i}rien has eclipsed the record. In

to be true, the Catholic Church takes
it's place in the first rank for numbers.

but add that as the Catholic Church
probably now has between two hundred
and twenty and two hundred and forty
millions she certainly stands forth, as
we have always believed, as the great

THE SCOTCH AND The IRISH.

1.-THE practice Of the Irish executive In
bringing over Scotch troops TO the trou-
bled districts of ireland to aid Baifour
in carrying out his brutal work is be-
ginning to cause considerable dissatls'
faction and Indignation, I" says the Mon
treal True Witness. 1.-THE Scotch forces
have already entered protest against
this effort to embitter the Irish and
Scotch people, one against the other.
The North British Mail says: "There
seems to be a design on the part OF the
Government to use Scotch soldiers for
the oppression Of the Irish people. In
Ireland at the present. time there are
eight Scotch regiments-the Scots
Gresy. Cameronians, Seventy-drst
Highlanders, Seventy-secondH Highland
ers. Ninety-second Higtianders. Nine
ty-third Highlanders and Scots Guards.
These are leading, distinguished and
distinctively Scotch reglments-the
Seyenty-third being now linked as sec
ond battalion with the Forty second
Highlande1s; and Scotland's finest
troops are made the tools Of Tory tyran-
nv in Ireland. Every possible care
seems to he taken to identify chem with
the Irish landlords and place them in
hostility to the Irish peasssntry.'
.sThe Mail further states its belief
that it is the object of the government
to punish the Scotch troops for the
Home Rule sympathies manifested by
their countrymen. Perhaps better
reason would be that Balfour hopes for
a riot in which some of the Scotch SOL
diers may be killed. It would be his
greatest delight to see the prosecuted
irish tenantry turn upon the instru-
ments of his savagery. The spillfng of
a little blood would enable him to go

Y Herald.
This is all very true says United
Canada," but is it not, we may ask,
time to let up on this lecturing the
whole Irish people, because of the crime
of few in Chicago? If one or few
Irlsh-Americans in that city have red
dened their hands in the blood OF fel-
low man, what has ireland OF the Irish
nation as whole, to do with this crime,
crime clearly perpetrated to crafty
personal jealousy and hatred, a crime
as much deplored and reprobated by
Irishmen as by any other clan?
There is not title of evidence today
to show that the murder of Or. Cronin
was perpetra5ed by an Irish-American
organize ton. as an organization. and
there exists only suspicion even for the
belief that it was irish Americans at
all who perpetrated the foul aud atroci-
Gus deed. But supposing that it was
committed by some Irish society, or
some organization avowedly Irish,
would that fact give justification for
these repeated lectures to the whole
Irish race as to brood OF criminals.
The crimes of the brutal Balfourlan
regime in one year exceed in number
and atrocity a century OF Irish mis-
deeds. If there are, as the Herald
would seem to. to think, though we
know that there are not. Irish organ
izations for the assassination Of delin-
quents under their rules, these societies
owe their origin to British brutality
and blood .thirstiness. Let the Herald
give Ireland rest. She has had lee
lures enough. What she wants is a
helping hand to lead her out Of mis-
fortunes slough Of despond. Lectures
are cheap, and too often worthless.
Give the unfortunate kicks instead Of
coppers, contumely instead of comfort,
and you do nothing to assist or
strengthen him in his purpose to
amend. The giving of cheap advice to
a nation which, as statistics prove, alb
hor murder more than any other in the
world, is labor wasted. For every
murder and outrage perpetrated in the
struggle for Irish self-government the
British government is responsible. Her
own statesmen acknowledge Brltain's
and have lifted their
voices in repeated warning against the
continuance of Balfour's brutal rule,
thus far, however, in vain.
