HOPE FOE MRS. MAVERICK.

The fate of Mrs. Maybrick, the American
lady now serving out 4 life sentence in an Eng
lish penitentiary, after having been convicted
Of the murder of her husband on what many
eminent legal authorities are agreed in regard
ing as insufficient evidence has aroused SO msch
sympathy in this country that the news which
we publish to-day in our London cable dispatch
concerning her case is certain to be read with
both interest and satisfaction.
Not only has Sir Charles Russell, the elo-
quent champion of her innocence, become
Attorney General and chief legal adviser
TO the Government, but Mr.. Asquith, who was
closely and intimately associated with him dur
ing the trial and who is believed to be imbued
with the ideas of Sir Charles concerning Mrs.
MAVERICK. has now assumed the office Of Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department. mas
much rs it is the latter which decides whether
or not there is any ground for the Crown to
exercise it's prerogativc of clemency and par
don, the prospects of favorable reconsldefa-
ton of Mrs. Maybrick's case may be regarded
as having been considerably increased by the
resignation of Mr.. Asquiths predecessor, Mr.
Matthews, who manifested so strong an ob]ec-
ton to take any action whatsoever in her case.

4 REMARKABLE RECORD.

TIE TRIRlNE Fresh-Air Funds remark
able record of work for this season deserves
more than a passing reference. The number of
children sent into the country for their fort
nights vacation has been 1929. This is
greatly in excess of the best record in previous
years. They went out in 3l1 companies, ana
in going and coming travelled in the aggregate
4.353,36G miles That is an astonishing eX-
hibit. but it does not cover all the operations
Of the Fund There have been series OF day
excursions. twenty five in number by which
$4,000 children, the great majority OF them
sick babies. have been taken ont OF the city.
These excursions have been conducted indie
pendenty of the regular subscriptions to the
Fund, special arrangements having been made
for covering the expenses.
1t is with feeling OF pardonable pride that
we refer TO tho splendid achievements OF this
beautiful and popular charity. While the credit
for these wonderful results is TO be shared
mainly by the contributors TO the Fund. who
have subscribed ever S3l 900 this season, and

have opened their hospitable homes to the poor

RELIGIOUS PROGRESS or the NEGRO.

The question Of the moral and religious ad-
yancement of tho American negro il interest
ingly discussed in q suggestive article in The
Forum for September. The writer. DIR. II. h.
Carroll. is well known MS Mr. Portcrs efficient
agent in the collection of church census stats
tics, and is well qualified to speak authoi-
tatiyely on the lessons they illustrate. Making
no attempt TO gloss over apparent inconsls-
tcnces in the negro character, he offers en-
phatic proof Of "A certain moral elevation, and
demonstrates, by historical citation. the unwis-
dom of permitting isolated slips to disturb
faith in the high moral susceptibility Of the
race 50 far rs mere figures 90, the whites
themselves hardly furnish a more creditable cx-
hibit and DR.. Carroll rightly maintains that
this offers 4 sure clew to determining influence
and condition.
The proportion Of church communicates OF
all races and denominations to the population
of the country is estimated to be about one
in three. This proportion the negroes now APP
preciaby exceed. Figures for 1860 are, Of
course, not accessible, as no similar record was
kept among the blacks before the war. 1t is
known. however, that in 1860 there were about
275, 900 coored members Of the Methodist
Eps sopal Church, South, and less than 25O,-
600 colored Baptists. In these two churches
alone the figures for 1890 are $4,000 and
$780, 900, respectively, showing net gains Of
33I and nearly 400 per cent. With colored
churches and church property valued mt SEQ
600 900 it is, moreover impossible to evade
DR.. CAROLS assumption that religion is not
a mere camp meeting affair in the thought and
purpose of the negro" and surely any estimate
errs grevously which fails to give due credit
for the money sacrifice and business zeal
involved.
As General G.. c. Andrews said the other
day at st. Paul, tho lingering traces still oc-
casonally discernble of African superstition
ought not to surprise those familiar with church
history among the whites. Our most intelli-
gent negro citizens III one generation have
shaken off effcctually the accumulated iniu-
cnce OF centuries of depressing tradition, and
in certain essentials stand far in advance of
some of our white ancestors of two hundred
years ago. llllterate negroes are to-day often
more energetic in schooling their children than
illiterato whites, and this OF itself implies the
dissipation Of the religious darkness fostcred
BY the ld-timc prohibition against negro in
struction. The vital connection between re-
lgion and virtue, it is admitted, is not every
where recognized by some of the Southern
blacks yet preachers and teachers are insist
ing on it, and the church governing bodies have
taken direct steps toward correcting errors of
conduct by appropriate legislation. In the
words Of DR.. W. Il. Harris. the United States

fronted with retaliation it decided reluctantly
to abolish tho rebate privilege at the end of
the present season. This was confession that
it had been evading treaty law. but 1t was
made in such way as to prolong unneces-
saIily the period Of unfair dealing. The Wash
ington Government in these circumstances had
no alternative. il was compelled to have re-
course TO retaliation in order to protect lis
commercial classes along the border.
in these complications the President has
acted with magnanimity and moderation. SO
far from menacing Canadians with the superior
resources of the American Government, he has
dsclamed hostility and endeavored To bring
the Ottawa Ministry to lis senses by diplomatic
means. There is no quarrel with Canada.
There is only determined opposition TO the
violation of treaty rights with the sanction and
corniyancc of the Ottawa Government

If mother earth. The farmer is often the re-
cpent of much ignorant pity from city wise
acres. who seem to think that he is most I'M
happy and unfortunate wretch. And some
times the farmer himself INDUCES in bit OF
chronic grumbling, which he doesn't intend TO
be taken at all seriously. But, looking at our
American farmers as whole they enjoy good
average sha.c of comfort and pleasure. They
may not be so dramatic in showing 1t. Eu-
ronean aesthetics who 60 through the country

But while not impugning the omniscence OF

there IS for everybody in these typical institu-
tions Of the plain people. Who that has ever
sympathetically visited an agricultural fair or
even cattle show, can doubt that the American
farmer enjoys himself? When we remember
what microcosm of life such a fair is, how
il contains within itself every interest, agrl-
cultural. soclal and artistic, that enters into the
farmers daily life, we are ready to admit that
the farmer will not be altogether unhappy these
autumn days, even though the Metropolitan

AUTUMN IN CITY AND COUNTRY.

Autumn, like every other season, is so many
sided, and appeals to 50 many different tastes,
that we fail to understand it if we consider it
simply from our own point of view. This is
especially true Of the dweller in the city To
him the first days Of September come as Il re-
minder of all the many complex activities Of
civilization that then take Oh new life after
the summer vacation. The wheels Of business
begin TO move with continually increasing
rapidly the professional man finds himself
contemplating with pleasure the wearing rou
tine toll from which he SO gladly escaped a
few weeks or months ago. The crisp air Of
these autumn days sends the blood tinglng
through the veins, and even the most blase
town -dweller feels a thrill Of expectancy as he
thinks Of resuming the old life again. lie scans
the columns Of the papers for the announce
ment Of coming musical and dramatic novelties
and wonders what the social trumphs OF the
season are to be when the -Four Hundred aided
and abettcd by the odd million and half of
other citizens set things going. Nor should we
forget those embryo citizens, the children of
school age, who, with more or less joy-somc-
times considerably lcss-are contemplating the
opening OF the schools next week. Altogether
this is a time of great speculative interest to
us all.
But the world is a pretty big place, and
while the tOwn-dweller is getting ready in the
first days of autumn to enjoy the pleasures that
belong to his environment, he does not always
realize that these pleasures mean less than moth
ing to the overwhelming majority of plain pep
Pile throughout the country. To them the do
lights of autumn lie much nearer to the heat

OTTAWI. NOT CANADA, PESPONSIBLE.

OTTAW1, NOT CANADA, hEofONoIDLE.
The retaliation measures which have been
adopted at Washington have naturally caused
q great deal OF irritation in Canada We notice
without surprise, but still with keen regret, the
appearance Of many heated Trades in the
Canadian press against the American Govern
ment. Public discussion on international CUES
tons ought always TO be temperate. The
Canadian press does not promote the restOra-
ton of equitable business relations with the
United States by matchmaking condemna-
ton of the Government at Washington for acts
of hostility and an Overbearing policy toward
England's American dependencies. President
Harrison has not made as radical and effective
use of his discretionary powers as the circnm-
stances warranted. Indeed, he has acted with
great moderation, and in the official CORE
spondence has disclaimed any intention of TAX
ing u hostile attitude toward Canada.
The point which seems to be overlooked be-
yond the border is the fact that the contro-
yersv or quarrel, whichever it may be, is not
so much with the Canadian people as with the
Tory Government in Ottawa. That Govern
ment by an order in Council had been de-
liberately and Systematically discriminating
against American ports, when an equalization
of commercial relations so far as the canals Of
the great lakes were concerned, was an estab
lished treaty right. The tolls of 20 cents
ton levied on canal traffic were returned 10
shippers of cargoes to Montreal. This was
discrimination against American ports which
involved violation OF treaty law. Remon-
str.nces to the Dominion Government have not
been needed. The Tory Ministry has pcrse-
ycred in an an unfair and, in view OF the treaty
provisions, an illegal policy. When it was con-
