“{ admit that the offence proved in the present case was of a trivia! and unimportant character, and the appellant was acquitted of all the other charges of wiiich the particulars contained a great number.”
Why, then, did he not give “the appel- lant” the benefit of the law? Because, as Sir Henry Strong says, it did not appear that he (Mr. Hackett) administered any eaution to Callaghan (with whom he was driving) against treating electors with whiskey. But,as Sir Henry Stroog admis, it was not shown that Mr. Hackett was aware that Callaghan had any wuai-key
m the buggy! How, then, coud he bz justly unseateloa acsouaot of his failure to -admini-ter caution against
treating tea man whom he did not know bad the means of treating? Wedo not fight against the law. But we that the decision is unreasonable of the law and the facts.
Mr. Hackett had, as Sir Henry Strong admits, announced “ at public meetings that se wanted the election to be carried on
maintain ip view
prowerly and warned his suppo:ters ag vinst the commission of illegal acts.” Was it, then, reasonable or just to unseat him aod condemn him to pay heavy costs because he did not give a special warning to Mr. Callaghan, even though he did not know that the latter bad the whiskey? We say, no. Though all the judges and law yers in Christendom were to say “ yes,” we believe that the common sense of fairplay mmplanted in the breasts of the common people would rebel against such aa un- reasonable conclusion. Tieunreasorable- aess of the decision of the Supreme Court is the more apparent when we consider all the circumstances. “Callaghan,” as Sir Henry Strong admits, “took the voter secretly into a barn and gave bim a drink eut of a bottle of whiskey which he had brought with him.” B-ing given “secreily,” Wr. Hackett could not have <nown any - thing of it. Yet he has been unseated because he did pot administer any special warning against giving it! Surely this is not arighteous judgment. Bat it is held
by Sir Henry Strongthat Mr. Hackett ought to have suspected something,
because “meeting certain persons who are proved to have beeo electors, Callaghan went with them into the woods and re- mained for some minutes.” But this was after the alleged corrupt treating of O'Brien, on account of which Mr. Hackett was unseated, took place! How then was it possible for Mr. Hackett’s suspicions to nave been aroused before the alleged cortupt treating occurred? It was not possibie. Was it just to condemn Mr. Hackett because be failed, under these cir- eumstances, to administer caution before it was possible that bis suspicions could have been aroused? We say that it was not just; and we believe that all ordinary fair-minded men will agree in this con- olusion.
Weask the electors of West Prince to
countries, as follows: England, £247; Den- mark, £230; France, £224; Holiand £216; Belgium, £125; Germany, £140. At the beginning of the present century, Denmark was one of the poorest countries of Europe, and now ranks second as to the wealth of the average citizin. ‘This wonderful pro gress has been made almot_ entirely turough the deyelopmeot of agricuiture. The principal products of Danisi agricul- ture are butter, eggs and bacon. [a te year 1895, the exports from that country of these three staple commodities amounted to $80,900,869. This vasteum was distri- buted among a large part of the inhabi- tants of the country, and its benefiis were not confiued to ihe few.
All but a small fraction of the Danish. products are sold in British markets. Why should not Canada have, except in the inalter of transportation, advantages «qual to those of Dctmark in trade with the United Kingdom? Danish product: cannot claim the reputation cf a long established trade, as it is within recent years they have been exported in large quantities to the United Kingdom. Prior to 1888, the farmers of Denmark exported large numbers of living swine, chiefly to Germany. A swine fever having broken out iu Denmark, tbe exportation of live swine was forbidden and the farmers deci?- ed to go ist» bacon curing. Co-operat:e
curing factories were establixheu, and since this time the industry has steadily developed, votil
now it is of national importance. The export trade in butter fir-t assumed pro- minence about the year 1876, when, influenced by a fall in the price of corn. the Danish farmers gave up corn growing fur dairy farming. The rulers of Den- mark have always been ready t) as-iat the farmers in these produce industries, and th> plans followed by the Government ex- perts have,served as model«to the dairy ofticials of the Canadian Government. In Canada the chief difficulty to be overcome by the exporters of farm producta is that of traneportation. The present Govern- ment, continning the conservative policy, has announced an energetic policy in regard to this matter, and it is to be hoped that the export trade in butter, eggs and bacon will increase to great proportions.

THE SPANIARDS ARE DESERTING.
The New York Sun’s Havany despatch
says: “*Desertions are sull very pumerous in the Spanish ermv. At Mantanza,a company cf 47 men have passed over to the jn-urgents On account of the scanty and
poor food supply, and the nonuspay ment of the morev due them. The authorities are careful to prevent the news from being
printed here, for rear that it may influence the rest of the army to follow the same course. Iu Santa Clara province the de~ xertions are still more vumerous. By orders from Madrid Gen. Weyler ia trying again toimduce the insurgents to aceept the alleged reforms, and bas employed:for that purpose Sener Marcos Garcia, ¢x-mayor of the town of Sancia Spiritus, Weyler suggests to the insargents that after the present plan of reforme has been practically tried in the island, Spain will grant 10 Cuba more liberal bome rule. He holds ont the prospect, also, of a general amnesty, including the pardon of all Cubans who are in the. revolutionary ranks and all who are under ciarges be
fore the Spanish tribunals for common ottences. He adds, that in tye treaty of capitulation the insurgents will receive all the military honors of a belligerent army. Jt ix positively knewn that notwichstand- ing ali the semi-offisial Spanish news to the contrary, Genera! ‘Gomez bas sternls rejected all these propovale and warned Senor Garcia that if he ever falls iuto his bands he will be hanged as a traitor.
