SEPTEMBER 11, 1885.

Editorial Notes.

—The Wall Street Indicator says :— ‘* The banks seem to be loaning freely, and this of itself is a noteworthy indica- tion of a change in business and busi- ness sentiment. It was almost impossi- ble for a lovg time for the banks to make any loans. Now they are putting them out at the rate of two to three mil-

lions per week. In fact the banks loaned during the month of August nearly $14,000,000. That tells the

story and dismays the bears. Not all of this money is going into Wall Street or into speculation. Legitimate business

of various kiods is calling for more money with which to increase pro-

duction.”

— Monetary Times :—Is fish preserved in ice fresh fish, and as such entitled to

enter the United States ports free ot duty? This question the Treasury Dex

partment has just decided. The case arose by a Nova Scotia fishing vessel going to Gloucester with fish on ice. The Gloucester people have very peculiar notions about fish; they seem to think, for instance, that American fishermen should be allowed to fish on our coasts without paying for the privi- lege; aod it follows, logically or illogically, from this that fish preserved in ice is preserved fish and not fresh fish. The Department decides that fish sent in ice to an Americen port for immediate consumption, is fresh or not according to the fact. If it has preserv- ed its freshness, it is fresh fish and as such is free, but if it has lest its virgin fresiness and requires to be smoked to make it edible, duty must be :ollected. And the fact is recoguized that one part of acargo may belong to one category aud another part to. the other. That fresh fish inthe United States is still free is a fact that should carry consider- able satistaction to the beart of the Nova Scotia fishermen.

—In England, as with ourselves, sani- tary reform has recently been occupying much attention from the leaders of soviety. The Bishop of Manchester,who is general'y to the fore when his aid is required for any good work, made the preparation necessary to meet a possible invasion of cholera the subject of a sermon which he preached not long since at the opening of a church at Preston. “The present,” observed the right rever- end preacher, “was a time of anxiety, with some persons, almost of despond-

ency. There were some who said that evil days were coming upon us; that

trade, politics, and the moral life ot the nation were never worse. He did not share these desponding or pessimist views. There was the utmost anxiety as to whether we should be visited by the cholera that was now devastating Spain. They were told it was possible the cholera might visit England sooner or latter. It behooved municipal and local governing authorities then, to be prepared tor it by seeing to the cleanliness of their streets, the adequacy of their sewerage and ventilatinn arrangements, being assure that the people hed a good water supply, and preventing as far as possible over- crowded dwelling houses.”’

The Colonial and Indian Exhibition

————

Ricuarp Hunt, Ese, Summerside, has been appointed by the Dominion Goverumeut, agent to arrange an exhibit for the representation of P. E. Island at the Colovial and Indian Exhibition London, (1886). The time is rather short to do the Island justice at the Exhibition, but if intending exhibitors work energetically with Mr. Hunt io arrangiog the exhibit, there will be no difficulty io having the Proviace credit- ably represeated in London. The follow- ing is the regulation respecting exhibits passed in Council, 12th December last: —

** The cost of freight of exhibits of manu- factures, or of natural products, sent by the owners for exhibition, to be defrayed by the Commission to London, and also the cost of freight in retarning such exhibits to Canada, in the event of their not being sold by the order or Agent of the owners

‘ Exhibits to be under the care of the Commission, and to remain during the Exhibition ; but all perishable articles to be at the risk of the owners, as also, gener- ally, any damages arising from carriage or exposure in Exhibition.

** Exhibits of corealsand other agricul- tural and horticultural products, also of natural mineral products, to be purchased and remain the property of the Department of Agriculture for further exhibition at the several Evnigration Agencies in the United Kingdom and on the continent of Europe.

** Owners, however, of such natural pro- ducts in the Dominion may, if they see fit, send specimens for exhibition on the same terms as manufactured articles.”

The time for sending exhibits is limited |! , | interest for it.

to the close of navigation ; but we think it would be well to have it extended to the opening of navigation, as exhibitors would then lave sufficient time te pre- pare their exhibits, and they would also reach London in good season for the Exhibition.

In some of the large American cities a new system for the immediate delivery of letters goe« in force on the first of next month. The system is simple enough. A person desiring the prompt delivery of his letter when it reaches the post office to which it is addressed places a special ten ceut stamp upon it in addition to the regular postage. On its arrival the post- master despatches a messenger with it to the individual whose name it bears.

The Riel Case.

JUDGMENT OF THE JUDGES OF MANITOBA,

The Chief Justice first delivered judg- ment. He referred briefly to the facts brought before the court and to the statutes by which Stipendiary Magistrates are ap- pointed in the Northwest, and to the powers given them for the trial of cases be- fore them alone and to cases including treason, which have to be tried before a Magistrate with a justice of the peace and a jury of six. The court can only order a new trial or confirm the conviction. The principal part of the argument on appeal was confined to the constitu- tionality of the court in the North- west, and the question of the prisoner’s insanity. His Lordship holds that the constitutionality of the court is established by the statutes passed, which he cited in detail. If the act passed by the Dominion Parliament was, as claimed by the defence, ultra vires, it was clearly confirmed by the Imperial act subsequently passed, which made the Dominion act equal to the Imperial act. The court in the North-West Territories is the only court there, and need not show its jurisdiction. The judge who tries a criminal case is not bound to take down the evidence, unless so provided for by statute, and the statutes say nothing here as to the taking down of evidence by the judge. The objections were to his mind purely technical, and therefore not valid. His opinion was that a new trial should be refused, and the con- viction of the Supreme Court was therefore confirmed.

Justice Taylor followed, dealing fully with the arguments brought forward by the prisoner’s counsel on the question of the delegation of power to legislate given to the Dominion parliament, and he held that the Dominion parliament has plenary pow- ers on all subjects committed to it. He reviewed fully all the facts relating to the admission of Rupert’s Land to the Domin- ion and to the statutes passed for the government of Rupert’s Land and Mani- toba when formed as a province. It is clear that the charge complained of in this case can be laid before a justice of the peace, and it is only when the trial takes place that a stipendiary magistrate has to sit with the Justice of the Peace and Jury of six, otherwise if the in- formation has to be laid before a Justice of the Peace and Stipendiary Magistrate, then at the same time there must be a jury of six. After a critical examination of the ease His Lordship is unable to come to any other conclusion than that in which the jury had come. The evidence entire!y fails to relieve the prisoner from the responsi- bility for his acts. A new trial must be refused and a conviction contirmed

Justice Killam next followed at some leneth, concurring in the views of his brother judges.

A Strange Discovery.

A FROG FOUND EMBEDDED IN THE HEART OF A ROCK MAPLE TREE,

The Moncton Jvranscript is responsible for the following :—Tuesday, the men em- ployed in Mr. E. J. Smith's mill at Shediac in effecting some repairs about the mill had occasion to make use of a piece of hard- wood timber—rock maple. The stick of timber happened to be a litile too long and a piece had to be sawed off. When the piece cut off fell away from the saw the men noticed a dark spot im the centre of the block, and on examining it found that it contained a frog ina seri-torpid state. After some little careful trouble they got it safely out and laid it on a board, when it acted as if dazed by the light and air, and appeared incap- able of any very active motion. In the meantime the men went to their work, and on returning to where they had left the re- scued prisoner they found that he had come to his senses, had put on worldly airs, and gone ena trip of exploration—probabiy to make enquiries about the long lost relatives from whom he had been separated while imprisoned in the heart of the famous rock- maple tree. How he got into the heart of that rock-maple tree, how long he had been there, and how life had been sustained dur- ing all the weary years, are questions that we must leave to scieutis's to inves‘igate. Itisa pity the frog got away—he would have proved a valuable addition to some museum...

—- a A Plethora of Money.

A Montreal! despatch says :—The surplus of unemployed money the leading banks here have in their coffers has induced the directors to reduce the rate of interest on deposits, from four to three per cent. on all moderate amounts belonging to custome, which have been deposited for any length of time. This order will apply to deposits of farmers throughout the Dominion, where the banks have branches. The leading bank has sach an enormous pile iying idle for which there is no demand that it has notified its largest customers that from tho lst instant they will oil, receive two per cent. on their de- posits. The same rule applies to all new deposits, a long standing customer of the pank being refused to-day more than that for $150 which he wanted to deposit fora friend, and did lodge on a receipt which mentioned in the body two per cent. Banks like the Merchants’ Molsons, which made the reduction some time ago, have not found any lessening of the amounts of de- posits at their branch in the west in con- They are not accepting large round amounts, as well as the Bank of Montreal, at their head offices, at interest. They will accept any amount for the accom- modation of their clients, but will pay no

C. P. R. Orrictats. — Vice-President Van Horne, of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, has issued a circular announcing the appointment of Mr. Thos. G. Shaughnessy, Assistant General Manager of all the Com- pany’s lines. Mr, Alexander C. Henry bas been appointed Purchasing Agent of the same railway.

Prussia has sanctioned the plan for the proposed ship canal which is proposed to

the lower Elbe, near Ouxhaven, in the Ger- man Ocean. The entire cost of the work is placed at 150,000,000 marks, of which Prussia stands ready to contribute 50,000,- The bill for the construction of this canal will be submitted to the Bundsrath after the vacation.

CURRENT NOTES.

The Ameer of Bokhara has abdicated,

Hog cholera is reported to be very pre- valent in Chicago.

Dr. Andrew Clark says Mr. Gladstone is sound in health, but care is necessary to prevent a relapse.

Poetry and rhymes, like all good girls, should have pretty feet.

The cotton crop has been seriously in- jured in Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee by drought.

George F. Watts, the English artist, has begun work on a series of life-size paint- ings illustrating the life of Cain at three stages: As an enemy of Heaven and a murderer, as a fugitive from justice, and as a repentent old man.

During the fifty years since the first train ran in Belgium, the railway companies claim that only 2i travellers have been killed through any error or disaster in the railway service itself, although 7,250,000 passengers have been carried over the lines,

Wherever Mr. Gladstone landed in Nor- way, he was always received with respect and attention and with uncovered heads. Much interest was displayed in catching a sight of the stately figure, so well known from photcgraphs; but that reality ex- ceeded imagination. ‘‘Seldom, if ever,” one journal remarks, ‘‘ has it been our for- tune to behold such a noble and energetic countenance. ’

Edward Burgess, of Boston, the designer of the yacht Puritan, never attempted to build a large boat before, but had been very successful in designing fast small boats. He was invited by the Boston men who offered to build an American yacht to present de- signs; he presented but one, which with some modification was accepted. He says the model is the product of a ‘‘gradual development, of his ideas upon the subject.” Burgess is a modest young man of agreeable manners and an expert at freehand draw- ing.

The cotton crop report for the Memphis district says the outlook is anything but encouraging. Hot, dry weather prevailod during the past month which did serious injury. Cotton has been injured 28 per cent. in Arkansas, 27 per cent. in Missis- sippi, 26 per cent. in Tennessee, and 8} per cent. in Alabama. The drought stili continues, and it is fair to presume some further injury will be reported. Notwith- standing this the yield of the district pro- mises to exceed that of last year has suffered from drought, but the yield will be ample to supply all home wants.

Says the London Truth concerning the recent refusal of Fred Archer to accept ‘‘a retainer” from thé Prince of Wales: This is the first of the numerous mortifying adventures which H. R. H. will probably encounter in his new character as an owner of race horses. Being accustomed to find his wishes re- garded as commands, it must have been rather startling for him to have his over- ture rejected, and H. R. H. will begin to appreciate the force of Lord George Ben- tinck’s remark that ‘‘all men are equal on the turf and under it.” The Prince was ill-advised in offering a_ re- tainer to Archer, as it was out of all reason to suppose that he would pay the sort of sum that jockey is now accustomed to receive, and Archer would scarcely care to bind himself to ride for an owner whose stud will be very small and whose horses will only run at crack meetings.

The Department of Agriculture has issued an advertisement in connection with the approaching Colonial exhibition in London. After dwelling on the magnifi- cent scale on which it will be conducted, the advertisement reads :—‘‘The grandest opportunity ever offered to Canada is: thus afforded to show the distinguished place she occupies by the progress she has made in agricultnre, in horticulture, in the in- dustrial and fine arts, in the manufactur- ing industries, in the newest improvements in manufacturing machinery and imple- ments, in public works, by models and designs, also in the adequate display of her vest resources in the fisheries, in forest and wineral wealth and also in shipping. All Canadians of all parties and classes are in- vited to come forward and vie with each other in endeavoring, on this great occa: sion, to put Canada in her true place as the premier colony of the British Empire and to establish her proper position before the world. Every farmer, every producer and every manufacturer has an interest in assisting, it having been already demon- strated that extension of trade follows such efforts.”
