Orzawa, March 23.

Kteferring to yesterday's debate, Hon. Mr. Thompson continued dealing with Riel’s insanity, and showed that Riel’s lclaim of having a divine mission was the strongest proof of his sanity. It was not the act of Riel alone, but of his whole Coun- cil that he should declare himself a prophet —as they thought he would thus secure un- limited authority over the whites,

In the corridors and everywhere to-day the speech of the Minister of Justice is spoken of as wnking with the best efforts ever made in the chamber. ‘Conservative stock,’ said one, *‘has gone up fifty per cent.”’ ‘‘Blake has found his master,” said

An Omission Supplied.

Dear Sin,—I was very much surprised last evening, on reading your appreciative notice of the Oratorio Concert, to find that ‘no mention was made of the fine solo sung by Mrs. Roome. Of course this is a matter 'of taste, and mayhap the taste of your re- porter is of a higher order than that of most persons. But I think most persons will agree with me, that Mra. Roome’s solo, besides conveying a high moral lesson, was exceedingly well rendered. In the past two years Mrs. Roome has devoted a great deal of time and talent to the music-loving public of Charlottetown,and done a great deal to encourage the younger vocalists; and I think her services should receive, at least, some recognition by the press.

THERE is no secret or patent in the produc- tion of ‘Myrtle Navy” tobacco, it could be produced by any manufacturer, but no manu- facturer could make it pay at the price, unless he could purchase on a large scale and sell on a largescale, Hecould not sell below the present price without a loss even if he could purchage at the lowest advantageous terms. To get a large market therefore, without which jt would have no inducements to go on, would be the work of many years. That is the reason why Messrs Tuckett & Son have command of the market, and they are wise | enough to retain it only by keeping the price | down to pan figures, | “er Tue statement of the chartered banks of | the Dominion for February shows total assets } and liabilities of $2 23.131.130 and $141,772,- | 523 respectively.

Then why single them out from among | hundreds of others as objects of! particular avimadversiov. It makes no difference to the couatry at large whether Mr. Hodgson or Mr. Davies, Messrs. Peake Bros. & Co, cr Messrs. Davison or Stewart are employed by the Goverument, so that their several ser- vices are honestly pertormed; and if the Patriot has no charges to briog against the Government in connection with the payments madeto Mr. Hodgson and to Messrs. Peake Bros. & Co., the mention of their names and the exclusion of those of all others is a gross impertinence. If these gentlemen were public representa- tive men, the Patriot might plead some excuse; but they are not. They are private gentlemen, taking no more active part in public affairs than Mr. Davison and hundreds of others who have re- ceived large amounts of public mouey, aod have not had their names published abroad by the Patriot.

—The Toronto Globe has a peculiar record on the Riel matters. Here are some illustrations from its columns :

March 18, ‘86.

“The moment Riel'‘s “There is no holding letter to Major Crozier him to have been the was put in evidence it author of the rebellion.’, became clear that the prisoner had been not only a participator in, but the actual instigator and leading mind of the rebellion.“

Oct. 22, 85, March 18, ‘86.
