MORE COLD FACTS.

The Free-Trade press is reduced to great ex
uemties by the Reciprocity question. 1t seems
70 be utterly demoralized by the success of Re-
publican legislation and diplomacy in making
use of the free market for sugar, coffee and
hides in such a way as to enlarge the export
trade of breadstuffs, other farm products and
manufactures. Here is "The Evening Post"
for example attempting 10 crawl ont Of a mis-
statement of facts respecting the American
-four trade with Cuba and eyading the issue
which it has raised. We qiote its closing cen
fences in order to convict it out of its own
mouth
our exports Of -four to Cuba during the first six
months Of the present year amounted TO 4O7G1 barrels
of value OF $214 JOB or 20 % "a barrel. Spanish
exports OF -four for tho first five months Of 1891
amounted TO 223,22s barrels Of value of SIs7 800

barrel. As the treaty gives the Spanish milcrs q
discrimination Of ~ barrel they appear 10 Do al an
advantage Of 90 cents barrel. and probably Will de-

Now we ask "Ihe POST to pay attention
and not TO wliggle from the touch Of cold facts.

resignation. 1t will be interesting to observe
the Board of Estimates action on Beattle's

Governor Hill and Mr.. Lathrop. the Superin-
tendent of Prisons, appear to be singularly slug
gsh and Indifferent to the recent startling
charges of atrocious cruelty in Dannemora
Prison. No adequate and convincing answer
has been made TO these accusations, and the
people at large will not be satisfied until the
charges are shown to he malicious inventions
# their absolute falSty cannot be demonstrated
beyond dispute then it is clear that Warden
Fuller Deputy Moore and some of their AS
sistants ought to take the places in the cells
which their victims have been occupying. Let
all that has been said thus far in favor of the
prison officers be granted. Let it be admitted
that Warden Fuller is generally supposed to be
TOO upright 10 permit such liendish wickedness
as has been alleged against some of his Subor-
dinates. Grant that Moon is notorious as a

ENGLAND IN BEHRTNG SCI.

L. is to be hoped that the American Consul
at Victoria is keeping his eyes on the British
sealing schooner r.. b. Marvin, which recently
arrived at that port from Behling Sea. The
facts with regard to the Marvin are likely here
after to be of considerable importance.
On June Is the Governments Of the United
States and Great Britain, having reached an
understanding that the Behrng Sea controversy
should be referred to arbitration, entered into
a provisional agreement that there should be
no seal-killing on the part of their respective
citizens and subjects in Behrng Sea except on
the American islands of st. Paul and st. George,
where 1900 seals might be taken for the care
and subsistence of the natives 1t was also
agreed that vessels or persons offending against
this prohibition might be seized By the naval
or other authorities Of either Government, but
should be handed over promptly to the authOri
ties Of the nation to which they might belong,
that nation alone having jurisdiction to try the
offence. 1t was agreed also that certain com
missioneIs to be appointed by Great Britain
might at any time visit or remain upon the
American seal islands for the purpose of MAX
ing such Investigations into the sealing contro-
versy as they might desire, the understanding
beng tndJ tNO lHlteQ STATES would appoint
other commissioners, and that a Joint consid-
Grafton should be had as to the effect of pelagic
sealing, whether the seal was being extermi-
mated and what measures, if any, were neces-
saIy for his safety.
Great Britain entered upon the CARRYING out
of this agreement by appointing as her commits
sonels Sir George Baden-Powell and Or. Daw-
son, who were said to be persons of great
knowledge and discretion. Sir George exhibit
ed his fund Of these qualities upon reaching
Ottawa by making an attack upon the McKm-
ley bill and by asserting that the Americans
had drafted that bill with view to driving
Canada away from her British acgiance Dr.
Dawson, not to be outdone by his colleague
showed how much he knew Of the provrietie-,
of hi, position by declaring at Victoria that the
arrangement made in the agreement Of which
he was an officer, allowing 1900 seals 10 be
killed by the Americans, was "a Bit of lob
berry" giving it as his opinion that ~. 800
barrels of flour would have been more to the
point" After this candid insult 70 the Gov

came near suffering summary vengeance at the
hands of the comrades of the men injured. The
men in the engine do not appear to have been
seriously at fault, however, though the present
endemic of railway conditions is truly alarm

Violence from endangered passengers; on the
