Eiditorial Notes.

—Sir Charles Tupper sailed from England in the Sardivia on Friday last. It is said that the object of bis journey is to confer with the Canadiav Government regarding the Colonial Exhibition which is to be held in Londcn next year.

—In the six months ended 30th June last, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company expended $2,239,676, earned $3,354,015, and made a net profit of $1,114,339. If this goes on, the Com- pany will be able to pay off its * little indebtedaess ” to the country in time.

— Mr. Van Horne, manager for the Canada Pacific Railway, says : ~‘‘ The troops we carried to the North-West behaved throughout like men—like gen- tlemen. They knew they were not going on a pleasure excursion, and I believe they all felt that the Company was doing everything it could for their comfort We moved 3,210 troops to the North-West, 3,209 of them were gentle- men. That’s all I have to say about Col. Oswald.”

—The healihfulness of the Northwest climate is proved by the militiamen who have returned. The Montreal Herald affirms that the men who went to the Northwest delicate grew robdust and strovg. Those who were too fat and fleshy trained down to their proper fighting weight ; they lost the unnecessary fat, but the?r muscles became firmer and their general health was vastly improved. The thin and spare men gained in weight while fat and flabby men became lighter; but both classes came back stronger and more healthy than when they left home.

— The real, true, genuine but filthy and destructive Doryphcra Decemlineata, alias “the potato-bug,” is veritably in and about the potato patches of this Pro- vince. The only way to fight the bugs is by persistent efforts to exterminate them. London Purple and Paris Green are the only known remedies that destroy them. It is used mixed with Plaster of Paris, or dissolved in water and sprinkled over. But there are two points to be observed. Gather, by pick- ing off, all you can first, and look up those that drop down and “play ‘pos- sum” till yeu are gone. The other point is, that both the London Purple and Paris Green are deadly poisons.

—-The trial of Riel has been brought to a close more quickly and much more satisfactorily than mavy persons had ventured to hope. We must assume that the lawyers of the Upper Provinces have not brought the art of delaying law and justice to such a bigh degree of per- rection as have those of the Maritime

Provinces. At any rate, the man who has twice led (or misled) the Metis to rebellion, and

who is responsible for all the blood shed has had the limit of his existence fixed at the 18th of September next. It is hoped that no question as to the jurisdiction of the Court which tried him will interfere with the summary condign

punishment to which he has _ been sentenced. 1 —The Spirit of the Age says:

There certainly is room for improve- ment in our law of libel. All other offences are adjudicated upon in the county in which they are committed, and

we see no reason why such _ un- founded and vexatious proceed- ings. as libel suits frequently are,

should be conducted at any out-of- the way place to which a newspaper may chance to find its way. For in- stance, if we were to libel any particular Chinaman by asserting that his pig-tail was false, and fraudulently attached to his Mongolian skull, he might have us hauled off to Hong Kong _ simply because copies of our paper are regularly sold in that remote metropolis, and even if acquitted we would have no compensation for our loss and expense.

—The Critic, of Halifax, says : elements of the greatness of Great Britain were ships, iron avd coal. We have the ships; we have the coal. Wherever we are known, we are credit. ed with these. But what of theiron ? Have we made the most of that? The

“The

Londonderry mines are not (owing, we}

‘

are informed, to injudicious mavagement) of the gigantic importance that the iron mines of this Province ought to be; and yet no other mine of the kind has been properly opened in the Province. The best iron ore in the Province is to be fouud in Cape Breton and Pictou. Many people who have at heart the best interest of the whole Province, believe that, as there is known to be an immense quantity of ore in Cape Breton and Picton, with the materials around for smelting, etc., it would be well for the Local Government to take some steps to second enterprise, and so have a new in- dustry in the eastern portion of the Province.”

—The Critic remarks that the outlook for the sugar planters is much more bright than it has been for many a year. What agricuitural science has done for the sugar beet industry, chemical science is now doing for that of the sugar cane industry. If the new process of sugar meking discovered by Frobach, ot Berlin, proves equal to all that is claimed for it it will completely revolutionize the suga trade.

sugar from the cane is defective and expen- sive. he new process dispenses altogether with crushing and pressing. ‘The cane being cut into stiips the water is first extracted by alcoholic vapor, the sac- charine being left in the cane. This is then treated with liquid alcohol. It is as- serted that this exiracts all the saccharine After, the sugar is is extracted from the aleohol by being filtered through lime chalk. If this process proves successful it will at once add a third to the present production of cane sugar, or at least 1,500,000 tons.

—The Loudon Standard bitterly at- tacks Lord Randolph Churchill. It denounces him for refusing to speak at Liverpool because the borough members were displeased with the Irish policy, avd describes him as a much overrated, impudent, overgrown school boy. It says he is only good at insulting his superiors, and that his very ordinary talents are lauded by an interested clique. The article continues: “It is time to speak out. We will not be imposed upoo \by this overgrown school boy, verging on middle age, but without a man’s sense Lord Salisbury st decide quickly on Churchill, having already worked irre- parable harm, will run the Conservative party.” It describes Lord Randolph as a miserable, absurd imitation of Disraeli, without one-fiftieth part of his ability. The Standard congratulates the Liver- pool commoners on their courage and say their action won every Conservative worthy of the name. The artlele is likely to make the greatest poiiticai sensation that has occurred for many years.

VALUABLE REPORT OF REAR ADMIRAL ENG- LISH—A DEADLY CLIMATE—NO FoOD FOR WHITE MEN, ETC.

Rear Admiral English, who was recently in the Congo country, has made a report to the navy department in regard to the ad- visability of establishing a commercial resort at the mouth of the Congo river, or of securing a limited district for a depot and ‘factorial establishment” for American citizens in that region, He says :—‘‘The reputed wealth of the Congo valley has been greatly exaggerated, and it will be an undesirable and unprofitable country for an American to mals® his home, or to embark in any business enterprise. Between Vivi and Stanley Pool I saw on all sides misery, want, sickness and death, particularly among the employes of the Intercolonial Association. The country does not and cannot produce food for the white man to live upon, and barely produces enough for the natives.” This opinion ir confirmed by Commender Bridgman, of the Kearsage, who says it would be unwise for the Gov- ernment to do anything to encourage Americans to go to that region. The cli- mate is deadly, there is no food for the white man save what he brings with him, the difficulties in the way of establishing a new business are very great, and the chences of profit very smell. Commander Bridgman has no faith in the future of the Congo predicted for it by interested parties.

The French Panama Canal.

|INDICATIONS THAT IT HAS RECEIVED ITS !

DEATH BLOW.

A Washington special of the 20th July rays: A cablegram stating that the French Government had declined to guarantee the iseue of Panama Canal bonds has caused a ‘sensation in cfficial circles. The report ‘from Paris sounds like the death knell of |the Panama enterprise. It is a well known \fact that no financial move of a similar ‘nature has ever succeeded in France with- out a government guarantee, but this policy _ has proved to be so ruinous that a reaction ' against it hes taken place even in the Cham- bee of Deputies and financial press in France.

lt is under the pressure of public opinion that the French Government decided not to be inveigled any deeper in that Panama enterprise which has already devoured so many millions of francs and so many thousand lives without having made the | progress so loudy advertised. Without the | guarantee of Government no money can he raised by the~De Lesseps Co, which will abandon the enterprise and the United States will ot be troubled any longer by | the international complications which were | hanging constantly around the question of a protectorate and free navigation of the

Riel’s Trial Ended. His Reply to Judge Risharisoa.

Nentenced to be Hanged o® 18th September.

Rreina, Aug. 3.

When the jury on Saturday returned with the verdict of guilty (after about an hour’s absence), Riel was on his knees praying. When the verdict was announced he smiled aud bowed to the jury.

Col. Richardson asked him if he had any- thing to say as to why sentence should not be passed upon him.

Riel replied in the affirmative. He then detailed the grievances of the half-breeds in Manitoba, and spoke at length of the rebellion of 1869. If he had to die for what had taken place it would be a con- solation to his wife and friends to know that he had not died in vain. God had given him «# m‘sson to perform, and if suffering was part of that mission he bowed to the Divine will, and was ready to accept the task even unto death. He objected to the jury and the decision of the Court, and that he be not tried for alleged offences of this season, but that his whole life’s work be considered, and the jury asked to give a decision asto wheiler his acts had been better for the country or not. He also asked for a commission of doc'crs to examine him, for though the jary pro- nounced him sene homme, he thought other- wise. He was glad the jury had decided as they did on this question, but he dil not want a shadow of doubt on this point and therefore to prove his sanity h» wouid show his plans and the objects he had in view, and he thought they would then say he was sound in mind as well as in body. He turned to the prophet of the New Wor!d,and he did not want any insanity plea.

Judge Richardson, in sentencing him, said only one duty to hear from was to pass sentence upon him. He could hold out no hope, and recommended him to make his peace with God. The sentence of the court is that Riel be kept in the guard room of the mounted police at Regina till September 18th, and from thence taken to a place of execution, there to be hanged by the neck till dead.

Mr. Fitzpatrick has left for Winnipeg to enter an appeal in the Court of ()ueen’s Bench.

The Latest London Sensation.

Lonpon, Aug. 3.

The latest society sensation in London is caused by the announcement that Lord Chief Justice Coleridge is about to marry an American lady whom he first met on a steamer when returning from the United States three years ago, and who threatened to bring an action for breach of promise if he did not marry her. London society is very much agitated over the approaching event.

Enticing Young Girls to Ruin.

Lonpon, Aug. 3.

The “Provident Mutual” Again

Sr1r,—In order to still further strengthen its position, the ‘‘Provident Mutual Associ- ation of Carvada” are abont uniting with one of the wealthiest companies in Canada. I have received the following telegram from the Managing Director :—

The American Indians.

President Cleveland has taken the Indians under his protection. He believes that they have been robbed and imposed upon long enough, and he has made up his mind | to try what effect justice and fair play will have upon ‘‘ the noble red man.” Among other reforms he has ordered the ranchmen off the lands they have leased from the Indians, on the ground that the leases

were fraudulently or unlawfully ob- tained, the Indians having no right either to sell or to lease their

reserves. ‘This measure has created quite a commotion among the cati!emen who oc- cupied, and usd as their owr, large tracts of land belonging to the Indians. They have remensiraied and have held meetings to protest against the action of the Presi- dent, but apparently without avail, Mr. Cleveland has given them forty days to clear out. This the ranchmen declare is altogether too short a time, end they ask for twelve months. Their answer is, if men put their money in unlawful enterprises they must get it oub the bast way they

can. The cowboys are a_ reckless lot, and their employers are power- erful, but they will find that they

cannot resist the President, backed, as he is, by the whole force of tho Republic, moral as well as material, If they do not obey the proclamation voluntarily, troops will be sent into the Indian country to drive them off the lands they have usurped. We reed that General Mills has gone to Fort Leavenworth and that a considerable body of troops, cavalry and infantry, are stationed where they can be used in case of need.

Attacked by Anis. NARROW ESCAPE OF A FARMER FROM BEING BITTEN TO DEATH,

Isaiah Bumcrat, a farmer living near Chambersburg, in Ohio, had a most wonder- ful experience on the 28th ult., narrowly escaping being killed by ants. He was picking blackberries in a wild patch of un- dergrowth in a dense wood, when suddenly he disturbed millions upon millions of large black ants. They were under a thin covering of earth, which he stepped on, and almost instantly they crawled up his panta- loons’ legs, and when he tried to knock them off showed fight. Before he could get out of the heavy growth of bush he was covered head to foot with the pestiferous ants) They bit him and crawled into his nose, ears and mouth. He yelled for help, but soon became blind- ed with the myriads of ants on his head and face, and before he reached the edge of the wood fell helpless to the ground, utterly at the mercy of the ants, and was only saved evidently from death by the timely arrival of his brother.

The insects were the common black of a very large size. Burncrat was bitten by them all over the body, and, while very sore, it is thought, providing the bites are not poiscnous, will recover. The case is without a precedent in that section of the country, and, it is believed, had not aid arrived when it did the ante would have not only killed, but eaten their victim.

At the sale of Burns’ relics at Ayr, on the 30th ult., Tam O'Shanter and Souter Jonnie chairs were bought for Burns cot- tage for £47 each. A wooden silver-hooped stirrup cup was sold for £55, and an auto- graph letter of the poet to Hamilton | Nimmo brought £75.
