Another Good Man Gone Wrong.

[ux Examiner's attention bas been called to an extraordinary statement made by Mr. L. H. Davies, M. P., after the close of the Wiman lecture. This statement w 5, in effect, that if reciprocily with t'e Uniel States were not soon obtained a large pro- portion of the people of Canada would become Annexationists, In view of the fact that the obtainment of reciprocity depends upon the people and government of the United States, the statement of Mr. Davies is one of the most astonishing that was ever uttered by a Canadian politician. The people of Canada to become Annexationists because ths government and congress of the United States will not grant them reciprocity! What nonsense. The people and government of Canada have repeatedly striven to bring about 4 fair and reasonable measure of reciprocity. From the time of the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty of 1854 until last winter, their have many times endeavored to obtain a renewal of recipro- cal relations with the States. The present government of Canada was returned to power for the purpose of entering into negotiations with the United States for reciprocity of trade with that country The matter depends wholly upon the United States. Yet Mr. Davies says that

Sentenced for Perjury.

Tus morning the Supreme Court gave judgwent in the Queen against Thomas McTague, charged with perjury befure the

Stipendiary Magistrate in a prosecution be- fore him for breach of the Lord's Day Act.

The pris ner’s counss! had obtained a motion for arrest of judgment, after the verdict of the jury last Trinity term,

grounding such motion on certa'n alieged ioformatities im the ind ctment This term the Court discharged this motion and sentenced the prisoner to five years im- prisonment in J)orchester Penitentiary. The Chief Justice in delivering this sen- tence remarked as follows :

** You have been tried for a grave crime, and the evidence of your guilt was so conclu sive that the jury could not do otherwise than convict you. There is, | regret to say, noth

that which the people and = govern- ment of the United States want them to} do! Talk about “ veiled taeason.” This

is out-Farrering Farrer! Lot the people

and government of the United States once get the idea into their heads that they have only to contiaue

to refuse Reciprocity in order to make the Canadians Annexationisis, and we shall ask in vain for full American for our potatoes and eggs, our coal and wood, our lambs and horses—until such time as the whole of Canada is fully ripe for An- nexation. We imagined that if there were one loyal Grit in Canada, that man was Mr. L. H. Davies, M. P. But the illusion is gone. He has given to Mr. Wiman and to the American nation the idea, or con- firmed them in the belief that if Reciprocity be not accorded, the Canadians will (turn Annexationists, and Canada will, ere long, be ready for the censummation of the ‘Monroe Doctrine.” He ia the worst «ind of « traitor, for he poses as a loyal man. In the guise of a Canadian patriot he gives suggestions to the Annexationists, which, if followed, will be strong to pre- vent them from granting the boon of Reci- procity, which we desire, and to bring about the political death of the British- Canadian nationality.

Mr. Davies will, perhaps, say that the Tories and the National Policy are tending towards Annexation. We shall answer this pretence by reference to Mr. Davies’ own testimony, twice repeated in the pres- ence of the audience assembled in the Market Hall, that there now scarcely any trace of the Annexation sentiment in Canada. The Tories have been ottice for fourteen years, and the National Policy has been in uperation for fourteen years, the result being, according to Mr. Davies, that the Annexation agitation has amounted toapything. This,notwithstanding al! the sedulous fanning of such able trait- ors as Edward Farrer and Goldwin Smith, backed up by Sir Richard Cartwright, Mr. Davies and their fellows !

But Mr, Davies contends that if Canada will but go back to « free trade pulicy, the

will be the more inclined to grant reciprocity. Let us think a litie. Canada had a free trade policy when the American Government abrogated the Reci- ciprocity treaty. Evidently, free trade did not then incline them towards reciprocity, For several years the Americans had the freedom of the Canadian market, while the United § market was closed against the Canadians by a fence.” What was the result ? versal ruin

What, then, is the true policy of Cans dians? Is it to clamor for Annexatiou be- cause the United States refuse to grant Reciprocity’ Is it to pull down our wire fence and let the Amezicans free to over-run our markets and drive out our manufacturers! No. But it is to preserve cur self-respect, to fan the flame of Cana- dian patrietism, to take care of the magni- ficent natural resources which have been exciting Mr. Wiman's wonder and the

At his trial you were sworn ito give your evidence, and you called Ged to wi-ness that you would tell the truth, bat, in order to save the transgressor from deserved punishment, you deliberately swore what you i well knew to be false. lo the administration of justice the crime of pei jury has, sometimer, appalling consequences, because, under the oath of an audacious perjucer, neither pree perty, liberty, reputation nor life is safe; and for this reason it is a crime that meets with severe punishment. The sentence which the court is called upon to pronounce upon you cannot be a light one, because if it were so you and others might think the offence was regarded as a trifling one, but it wil be prob. ably much lighter than that which may be im. yose4 upon the next offender who shall sppear in this court convicted of a similar c ime.”

When we remember how much m»y and often does depend on the evilence on oath of a witness in a ccurt of law —our property or lives, maybe—we recognizs no higher duty in our Supreme - Judicisry than that of visiting by heavy punisimeat the act of deliberate perjury in a witness. Such punishment is the on 'y practical way of ensuring truthfulness from the witness. The good effect of such a sentence will be felt ia every court in the land, making the honest man safe against the r gue, and the professional criminal within more certain reach of the law.

The promptness of the prisoner's com- mittal by the Magistrate after committing the perjury, the speedy termination of his trial, and the punishment received, must all be matters of satisfaction to a law-«sbiding communi y.

GRAND Opentnc.—The new Public Hall and Court House at New London built by a company of which Judge Alley has been the leading promoter, is to be opened to-morrow evening by a grand variety concert in which several gentlemen from Charlottetown are announced to take part. The advertisements are headed: ‘‘Bengough Outdone,” and we understand that the managers are determined to carry out this pledge with the audience. Addresses from Judge Alley and A. B. War- burton, M, P. P. for the district, and read- ings, recitations, vocal and instrumental music, and dramatic performances will con- stitute the programme for the evening's entertainment.

Ramuway Accrpent.—Yesterday after- noon, No. 10 freight train, from Svwuris, left that place on time, in charge of Con ductor McKee and driver Yeo. About 3 o'clock, when passing St. Andrew's flag station, a short distance the other side of Mount Stewart, the drawpin of one of the cars which was loaaded with potatoes, broke, falling under the wheels and throw- ing the car off the track down a slight em- bankment. The car was but slightly dam. aged. The passengers were transferred to the Georgetown train which arrived in the city about one hour Ja‘e. No 10 train re- mained at the scene ot the accident, but when it was found that with the small fac- ilities obtainable it was impossible to put the car back on the track, the train left for town, arriving about twe hours and a half late. A wrecking train left for St.

Andrew's this morning to replace the car on the track.
