The frcc trade movement Is advan-
cling In Canada. We referred last
week 10 the speech OF ID. e. Fraser. of
the Dominion Commons, who, at n
gathering Of Liberals at Ilamilton.pro-
posed absolute tree trade as Tho policy
of the Liberal party. When he sal
he was ready to break down tho Ca
madam tariff walls and thus compel
Tho United States 10 do the same, his
sentiments were loudly choered. This
speech has bcen followed by an open
letter from Senator Coulton to Hon.
Wilfrcd Laurier, iu which the Senator
advocates free trade for Canada, and
proposes the Immediate formation OF
free trade league, predicting that the
policy can be established within de-
cadc.
This movement IL moro significant
TO US as nation than may at first
blush appear Mr.. Fraser indicated
the way In which IL Is important when
hc said that the adoption OF free trade
In Canada would force free trade up
on this country. III Canada opened
her ports her prosperity would 20 for
ward In leaps aud bounds. Despite
her natural disadvantages as compared
with ours, she would soon push Us
hard for the commercial supremacy
on the American continent. Amcri-
can importing interests wonld tend to
concentrate at hcr ports. In every
trade with ms, whether she sold us her
productions or her imporlalions, sho
would have an advantage. The trade
would be moro profitable 10 her tra-
ders than to ours. They would pay
no duty on what they took from our
traders, while ours would bo heavily
taxed for what they took from hers.
Canada would bc the most profitable
trading ground In North America; and
as trading brecds manufacturing, sho
would be our mosl profitable manu-
faeturiug country. III shc continued
free trade and we protection, sho
would become on this side OF the
ocean what England Il on the other
the commercial nation OF the CONT
ncnt. Nothing could prevent II bat
the adoption of free trado IN The Uni
ted States.--N. \. Standard.

Farewell and adieu"was the burden prevailing

Farewell and adieu.

With water untraveled before na for sailing.
And a water behind hs that wrecks may bestrew
The stars OF the past and the beAcons are paling,
The heavens and the waters are hoarier OF hue;
But the heart II as chants not an All unavAiling
Farewell and adieu.

The general conference of the
northern Methodist church, he'd
last week al Omaha, adopted fiery
resolutions protesting against "the
indignities and outrages that are
put upon the colored people and
all white people who work for the
elevation Of the colored race in the
southern states" The dispatch
continues
The resolution declared that the
cnlored people we're treated shame
fully on the railway trains and at
hotels and in every way. They
were shot down like dogs and the
law of the land was trampled under
foot by the people who despised
the coloied race. DIR. Myley ad-
vised the conference to be moder-
ate in the language employed.
owe are not perfect ourselves,
brethren, except in Words" said
DR.. Myley. The report was adopt
ed by a rising vote, every delegate
in the conference rising TO his feet.
The Appeal-Avalanche comments
thus
Our good Methodist brethren oil
the North suggest that all good cit
izens "should rise in their might
and abolish The indignities and out
RACES that are put upon the colored
people," There is only one way 10
rise in their might and that Is 10
appeal to mob law. is it not rath-
er strange that a Christian body
charged with bearing the glad tid-
ings of peace should recommend
the overriding OF the law and the
appeal to brute force ?

The white union veterans compos-

posts of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public have decided to surrender
their charters and abandon the or
ganization. This determination has
been taken on account of the order
issued by commander-in-chief Palm
er, requiring these posts 10 recognize
and affiliate with the colored posts In
those states. At meeting in New
Orleans on the 10th one Of the veter-
ans said
"It Is very rough on ms old fellows
to be thus forced out Of an organiza-

Lord Salisbury, the English pre-
mier, has created a sensation by a
speech at Hastings in which he at
tackled the doctrine of free trade, and
limited that England must adopt the
protection policy in retaliation for
the injury inflicted on her By foreign
tariffs. This would be 9 costly sort
Of revenge, rs the people who would
suffer most from an English protec-
tive tariff would be the English
themselves. The damage done to
outsiders would be slight compared
to what tho protected islanders would
suffer. But we do not believe that
England viii commit the blunder Of
returning to the foolish, unjust, and
wasteful policy Of shackling tho trade
that has made her rich and powerful.

One of the papers. noticing the death of
a fast trOtting horse. says that he was ill
only fifteen minutes: Similar statements
are frequently made respecting distin-
gushed men; and the prayer book contains
petition to be delivered from sudden
death. L note the facts for the sake of re-
marking that sudden death by disease,
either in horses or men, never happens.
Diseases act much more slowly and the
man who dies of fever has probably been
ill for months. The moral is, attend to the
first symptoms of illness.
Among our refOrmers no class deserves
more support than those who seek to i'm
prove the health of mankind. Some of
them have exaggerated the value of this or
that means; but the end they seek is very
useful one. We are coming to agreement
on everything but food and sleep. We
shall agree about this by and by. Plenty
of sleep in the highland wholesome food
in mOderatiOn-theSe are two articles of
the coming mans health creed. A recent
writer says that gluttOny kills more people
who it may be said by parenthesis know
no better-than tobacco and drink. Eating
too much is the next evil to be reformed;
then sleeping too little.
1t is a proper prayer, Remember not
against me the sins of my youth" But it
is as we'll for us to remember that human
society does not readily forget our errors.
And somebody has said that God can af-
ford to forgive when men cannot afford to
forget" Perhaps he is not quite right; to
forgive is not to give man an office or a
farm. We have forgiven all who have
wronged US. if we are good Christians but
that does not Oblige us to endorse their

For me to sit and grin
At him here;
But the old three. cornered hat,
And the breeches. and all that

the summer vacation. The school opened on the
9th of last November. The results have been
more satisfactory than those of the previous term,

Der of pupils. All the boys profted by the OPP
portunty. some of them greatly. After chapel
services Sunday the Warden announced the close
OF the term and spoke upon the results of the
work. He expressed his pleasure at the fact that
OF the ninety-two pupils enrolled only one had
been reported for misconduct in school. He also
publicly thanked the teachers by name in behalf
of the pupils and the prison management for their
efficient volunteer services The following is a

= COUGHING SCENE
AS Enacted in Court at St ClAirsvilie on
Friday.

A very touching incident occurred In
the Court of Common Pleas at st. Clairs-
Vile Friday. The attention OF Juoge
briggs had been occupied all day IN the
trial of the case of Mollie b. Parker VS.
William G. Parker for divorce ana an
mony, the parties being from the reign
borhood of GAINESVILLE. The pialntln
was a woman of more than ordinary
brightners, and told the story OF ner
cruel treatment by her husband during
their married life in very pathetic yet
forcible manner. There was one claim
made by the defendant as to their mode
of living after the divorce had been APP
piled for, that was emphatically dehleu
bv the plaintiff and was an Important
question in the case.
After all the testimony had been pre-
sented the learned judge proceeded IN
his usual impartial manner to decloe
the case. first stating the claims OF the
plaintiff and then the defendants
claims: he was stating the defendants
claim upon this question when the
plaiptiff unable longer to restrain ner
feelings. rushed to her husband, VINO
was sitting near his counsel, ana
throwing herself upon her knees at ais
feet begged him in piteous tone with
tears streaming down her face, Ito tell
the truth just this once" and said 20
viii, you know you perjqred yourself
you know 1t is not true"
1t was touching scene, and many OF
the officers and attorneys OF the Court
familiar with the scenes and acts OF hu-
man life which are daily brought TO
light from the witness stand, were no.
ticed to turn their heads TO hide the
emotion caused by the earnest appeal OF
this woman for justice. The Court was
deciding the case in her favor when
she, unused to such scenes, and not un,
outstanding the situation, interrupted
him before he could fully express him
self. She was granted a divorce, de-
creed the custody Of her three minor
children and reasonable alimony.

PARIS, November 26.-The newspa-
pers here are showing much concern
over the speech delivered by Chancellor
Won Caprivi in presenting the army bill
to Reichstag. The RepubHQue Fran
catsSe says that the accusations launch
ed against France by Chancellor Won
Caprivi ought to inspire scornful COM
posure. "We do not need" it adds ITO
defend ourselves against insinuations
that are credited to nobody"
The GGltIoiS says: "The JOY with
which the English press has noted the
pessimistic declarations Of Chancellor
Won Caprivi ought to be q serious warn
ing to the French people"
The Journal des DebGts says: "The
German Chaneellor's speech indicates
that Austria and Italy are less certain
as allies and that they may some day
request Germany to supply herself with
the resources hitherto assured through
them"
