NOTED JUDGES MIND FAILS.
Sir James Fitxjames stephen, Before
Whom Mrs. Maybrick Was Tried.

LoSpoS, Feb. 2i.-lSpecial Sir James
Fitziames Stephen, before whom Mrs.
Maybrick was tried, has broken down. 1t
has been evident for some time that his
mind was giving away. Even towards
friends he has been markedly morose. but
this would not have attracted
special attention, as he was never
genial man, but in court
more than one occasion recently his be-
havior has been most disconcerting, and
some law points laid down have been
almost farcical. He has been permitted to
go on in this way, as nobody desired to in
fere with man so rude and overbearing
as Stephens. He can not be forced TO re-
sign, nor be removed without an address
to the crown from parliament His is
difficult case To deal with. For
many years he was one of the strongest
judges on the bench. His work of codifi-
cation of the Grimm al law is we'll known
In spite of his unpopularity his collapse
must be regarded with sorrow by the bar.
for he was one of the most profound law
yers of England
1t is probable that the adherents of Mrs.
Maybrlck may make renewed effort TO OBJ
tain her liberation when Stephens con-
dition becomes known. Their claim will
probably be mental incapacity on his part.
Such claim will not hold water, for he was
sane enough when he tried the prisoner.

REAL AND BOGUS RECIPROCITY.


Statement Of tho Issues Now Before the
Canadian People.
New York sun.
The bogus reciprocity proposals of Sir
John Macdonald are of no interest to the
United States. He understands perfectly
well, and only the most ignorant or out
of-the-way Canadian electors can fail to be
informed during the present canvass in
the Dominion, that the reciprocity of 1854
is back number. Reciprocity in natural
products will not do.
On the other hand, the unlimited reci-
procity advocated by the Canadian Liber-
As an opposition party the Liberals are
not to be blamed for certain vagueness.
Parliament would not have been dissolved
if Sir John were not confident of
retaining good majority of the
seats in the next one. But If
the Liberals should come INTO power, would
they be ready for unlimited reciprocity?
The Canadian manufacturing interest is
strongly tory, but it is so powerful and has
latterly been so fattened under the policy
of protection that the Liberals would have
to be exceedingly discreet in proposing to
expose it to American competition.
The Roman candles of jingoism which
Sir John Macdonald is throwing up are
good to amuse the CROWD with, but sooner
or later Canada will come to see that it is
better and more comforting to the pocket
to be Canadian patriot than to be a
British patriot. Atpresent, however, the
majority of the Canadian Liberals even
do not seem prepared to admit
they seek, can be found only in complete
political union with the United States.
One flag, one country and one tariff is the
true e-Canuck platform. There can
be 10 permanent commercial reciprocity
or union between the two countries until
they become one country. Meanwhile the
United States is necessary to Canada, but
Canada is not necessary to the United
States
