The independence which impelled the editor of the Patriot to attack every other editor who dared so much as to mention the word “Maritime Union’’; and which, when the Toronto Globe, at a critica] juncture, strongly advised the peeple of this Province to enter “ Maritime Uniov,” compelled him te remain as silent as the grave! Independence, indeed !

By telegram from Toronto it is reported that Mr. Dalton McCarthy, Q. C., one of the counsel for defendant Wilkinson in the ‘ big push * libel suit, moved fora rule nisi, ordering Wm. Houston, M. A., one of the editorial writers of the Globe, to show cause why he should not be committed for contempt of Court, because of a letter that he had written, and which appeared in the Paisley Advocate, a sheet published in the Village of Paisiey, on the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway. Chief Justice Harri- son reserved judgment until Saturday, and yesterday he announced tiat he had pre- | pared a judgment, but would not, deliver lit until he had submitted it to Mr, Chief Justice Morrison.

As Justice Wilson was
