melt all the SHOWS this side of Hudson S
Bay. Such phrases as traitor" Judas, u
'sneeking annexationist' and s'vile bar
terer with the Yankees" were flung about
as recklessly as corresponding terms were
in the United States in 1872.
And what was it all about? WHY, the
"Grits" want reciprocity with the United
States-unrestricted,o or as near it as they
can get-and are not unwilling to discuss
annexation, though not protesting TO favor
it. The ''Tories," led by the great Sir
John Macdonald, established the protective
policy in 1878, and have ruled the Domin-
ion on that line ever since. Sir John
showed extraordinary shrewdness by an
nouncing dissolution and going to the
country on a new election for parliament
just at the time when he had the most am
munition. And he hit the "Grits" hard
by producing proof that some of their lead
ing men have been to Washington with
proposals that the American politicians
adopt measures tending to force annexa-
ton. Here's where the treason" comes in.
Editor Edward Farrer, of Toronto, ap-
pears to be the guiltiest man, if guilt there
be. He recently wrote a little pamphlet en-
titled Trade Relations" in which, under
the guise of showing the Canadians what
advantages the United States possess in
tariff war, he really shows how the great
republic might coerce Canada.
Edward Farrer is rosy and jolly Mum
ster 1rishman of 10 years. Once SO poor
that starvation threatened, he is now the
best paid journalist in Canada. In his
days of extremity he quietly did work for
papers of different faiths, and all Canada
was amazed at the extraordinary ability
with which discussion on the tariff was
conducted between two prominent jour
nails. One day the Liberal paper would
"crush Sir John" with conclusive facts
and figures, the next the administration
journal would show that the data had no
bearing. About the same time the organ
of the Orangemen began to exhibit I'M
usual talent, and pretty soon the Catholic
exponent rejoined in such clear and admir-
ably chosen arguments that its readers
were charmed.
The secret leaked out, and there was first
anger and then laughter; but Mr. Farrer,
who had served as four editors at once,
never lacked employment thereafter. To
his honor it must be said that he never de-
scends to scurrility and claptrap. His ar
guments on both sides were instructive.
He writes French as fuently as English IA
valuable power in Canada), and is equally
pure and clear in both. He is seldom seen
on the streets Of Toronto, and most people
take him for prosperous farmer.

The Law of Libel.

Judge McAdam, of the New York su-
preme court, has rendered decision which
involves some important statements re-
garding the law Of libel. He says, among
other things: Truth, irrespective Of mo
tives, Is a complete justification to a civil
action for libel. ANY one has a
right to comment on methods OF public in
terest and general concerns provided he
does so fairly and with an honest purpose.
Such comments are not libellous, however
severe in their terms, unless they are writ
ten maliciously."

( Murdered His Babe.

CATLETTSBURG, KY, August "A
gentleman from Wayne court house, the
county seat of Wayne county, w. Va,
arrived here to-day from that point,
and says that about three weeks ago a
most brutal murder was committed
near that place. in which an 18-month-
old child was the victim and its father
the murderer. Wiley Cummins, a
farmer in small way, became extreme
ly Jealous of his wife, who was shower
ing more of her smiles upon others than
upon her lord and master. 1t is thought
that to brighten the woman Cum
minis threatened to do away with
their child. At any rate, while
the mother was away from the
house, the unnatural father entered
the room where the child was sleeping
and put it to death. After committing
the deed the father left the house and
did not return until the servant girl
entered the room. Upon his return he
made weak attempt to lay the blame
on the girl. She denied her guilt
strongly, and in tnrn forced the man to
make confession. The case did not
reach the ears of the authorities until
sometime afterwards. Cummins was
arrested, and on last Thursday was
given an examining trial and held to
await the action of the grand jury in
tie sum of $4,000 bail. Being unable
to give bond he now languishes in Jail.
The sentiment is bitter against the man
and threats of lynch law are freely
heard on all sides.

Many people think that the specula-

speculation for high prices and that
there must be bull where there is a
bear. This is entirely erroneous, for
the bear speculator sells principally to
legitimate buyers. He is the cause:
that there are two crops in the market
every year. The buyer can easily take
care of one, but as the farmers crop

wheat have been sold by spectators,
that consequently the market must be
glutted with it, and that you will wait
until that wheat is eaten up before you
offer yours. We assure you that these
hundreds of million bushels of windy
wheat will be consumed very soon.
Communicate this information to all
