In respect to Riel, the Government did that which the country expected them tv do. They did their duty. They enforced the law, even though, in the heat of the moment, a large body of their supporters protested—even though it would have been Pp ditic on their part to have exercised the prerogative of mercy. But the Opposi- tionists said Riel should be hung; and then,

They acted on principle.

when they found Quebec agitated about it, they tried te make capital out of the feel- ings of a warm-hearted people —acting the inconsistent, time-serving hypocrite for that base purpose !

In respect to the Subway and other ques- tions of importance particularly to this Province, the Oppositonists are profoundly silent. They do not even advocate the shakey platform recently laid down by their Leader. We have heard no reasons of any kind, why gentlemen of experience’ and prominence throughout Canada should not be selected for senators as at present; or why the Senate should be placed upon the same footing as the House of Commons ; or why the people should be subjected to double the worry and turmoil they are now compelled by reason of elections to endure. We have

Live Stock Trade. |

The Liverpool correspondent of the Montreal Gazette says:—‘We don’t want animals during the short season from June till September up to Smithfield fat show form; but we must have cattle very much ahead of the average quality sent this year. Our exporters know this, our farmers and graziers know it, and with such knowledge the blame must rest with them solely, if they persist in shipping anything else. With the finest bree ing stock in the world, it seems paradoxical that Canada should stil) be shipping scalawag _ cattle. j have frequently had occasion to refer to the strength of the dear little isle in live stock exports, For the eleven months of 1886 the shipments from all ports to Great Britain, the returns show that 665,290 cattle, 715,067 sheep, 364,140 swine were sent out. On every one of these there is & substantial increase over 1885. With such a formidable rival, Canada is bound te put her best foot foremost if she means to hold on in the race. The conditions under which this remarkable Irish traffic have been main- tained must be taken into account, aud when fuily appreciated the fact will be readily admitted that ‘‘she beats Banagher ” for cattle production. In horses I was more than astonished to find that in the eleven | months 27,990 had been sent to England and | Scotland, not to mention the 807 asses and 24 | mutes or jennets.

A Contradiction.

Sir, —Permit me, through the columns of your daily, to contradict a paragraph in relating to myself in Civic matters ; and also place a prop to the understanding of the editor, as his information is false and malicious. I am not in the field for Civic honors, be- lieving there are none,neither did I consent for any person or persons to make use of my name. Should I be induced again to offer to assist in managing Civic business in either of the city wards—2 excepted I shall not hesitate to declare my course which will be justice to all and favors to none. Moreover, it is not my principle to solicit support for myself as a city repre- sentative, —never has been, never shall be. 1 hope that annoymous scribblers may find more time to mind their own business and iet their neighbors alone.

Yours respectfully, M. P. Hogay.

The Police.

Sir,—In Thursday’s issue of the Patriot, an article appears referring to a late robbery on my premises. In it some strictures on the conduct of the police are made, which are not warranted by the cir- cumstances,

Immediately upon the robbery coming under my notice I notified the police, who promptly responded and did everything possible to be done in the matter. No blame whatever can attach to their conduct in the matter on this occasion; nor have I at any time since the occurence charged them with any default or derilection of duty.

Yours, &c., JouN CARROLL.

Monday Night's Fire.

Sin,~-I beg to state that my warehouse was directly under Mr. Stumbles’ work- shop, the entrance to which was on the same flat as that occupied by me. I had about $300 worth of goods im said ware- house, upon which there was not one cent insurance, as can be proved by the agent of

| cashiers in attendance.

Insurance Co.—said warehouse being in no way connected with my shop, where goods was insured; but I have been credibly informed that the building destroyed by | fire was well covered with insurance. I agree: with the paragraph in your issue of yesterday that an investigation as to the

cause of the fire is necessary. .
