Resignation of Sir Leonard Tilley.

Newspapers received this morving confirm our telegraphic advices that Sir Leonard Tilley has resigned the portfolio of Miuister of Finance. We may, there fore, assume that the news is true be- yond a doubt,—and if true, Sir John Macdonald has lost his “right hand mao,” aud the country is deprived of the services of an experienced, skillful snd honest statesman. There is no public man now living in Canada who more thoroughly enjoys the esteem of the good men of both parties than Sir Leonard Tilley, and great regret is felt on account of his illness and resignation.

The Fate ot Riel.

Tue legality of Riel’s sentence is Dow placed beyond a doubt ; and his friends are at work invoking the executive clemency and raising the question of his sanity. We _ hear littl wow about “a wave of excitement” in Quebec; and it not likely that the good people of that Province will make much ado about the fate of one of their race who is utterly wanting in their virtues. If they do they will make a great mistake. It is not likely that the Crown will be moved by political motives or the clamor of a section of the country, however large and respect- able, from its great duty of executing justice. There are times when men in responsible positions must act contrary to their own feelings and against the wishes of those whom they most desire to serve; and, however great the icfluences brought t» bear in his favor or their humane desire to save the life of a fellow-mortal, it is not likely that the Government will interfere to save from the grasp of the law the traitor Riel. If it should, how- ever,be proved that Riel is really insane, there may be a question as to his close coufinemeat in a lunatic asy!um for life instead of his execution according to the sentence of the Court.

Communication with the Mainland.

is

Tus subject is generally and rightly regarded as the most important that can employ the attention of the people of this Island, and it is undoubtedly one of great interest to all Canadians. Since the delivery of Senator Howlan’s able and lucid exposition of the Subway Scheme, interest in it has steadily increased ; and ideas respecting it which were be- fore regarded as chimerical have taken root deeply in many minds. The repre sentatious aud models which Seustor Howlan has caused to be prepared are daily scanned by interested groups of men, and the explanations made by the Senator at his office and elsewhere are eagerly and favorably canvassed. It is quite evident that the subway scheme must soon be seriously considered by the Government. If it be practicable, as it seems to be, and if $3,000,°00 or $4,000,000, or $5,000,000 will suffice for its construction, no time should be lost ia adopting the Subway scheme and carry- iag on the work by a Government bound to afford “ continuous communication,” ‘winter and summer,” ‘* between the Island and the Mainland.” If, on the other hand—against the opinions of Shanley, Light, Brown, Smith, and the Eugineers who have designed it—it be impracticable, the sooner we know the truth the better for the public and the Goverpment.

— The question whether the North- west Territories form part of the “realm” of England has been discussed a good deal in connection with the Riel case. The Legal News of Saturday last quotes from Mr. Justice Stephen’s last wok, ‘A Digest of the Law of Criminal Pro- cedure,’ A. D., 1883, page 2, in which the learned judge states that * the crimi- nal law of England extends to high treason, misprision of treason, and con- cealment of treason Committed out of the realm of England by any subject of Her Majesty,” and the authority referred to isthe statute 35, Heo. VIII., chap. 2. if (the Montreal Gazette remarks) the learned judge is right, the question whether the Northwest Territories form part of the realm of England ceases to be important, except as to the form of the indictment.

— Fair readers of Tuk Examiner will hear with relief that “The Tramp” has left the Island.

Personat. —The Moncton Transcript says: Rev. Mr. Hinson, of Summerside, P. E. L,, preached two able and eloquent sermons in the B ptist Church yesterday to crowded con- gregations. He is regarded »s one of the ablest and most talented preachers in the Maritime Provinces. He certainly produced an extremely favorable impression upon bis auditors. We strongly suspect our Baptist brethren have designs upon Mr. Hinson as a possible sueccssor to Mr. Gates, The Rev gentlemon’s congregation in Summerside will have to be on the alert.

G KorGk McIx tyre, a very resrectable and well-to-do farmer, died at Sussex, N. B, on the 26th inst., after a few minutes illness Mr. MelIntyre had contracted to repsir the Trout Creek bridge, and while near the bridge complained to two men with him of feeling very peculiar. They came from the bridge to Dr. Wilson’s, only a short distance. Medicine was given bim and he went to his father 1n-law’s, and after a short time died. Caute is said‘o be rupture of avblood vessel near the brain.

The Fate of Riel. |

OPINION OF THE PRESS.

i

(Ottawa Citizen. ) |

Now that the highest court in the Empire | has decided that Riel had a legal trial, only | executive clemency can save him from the | gallows. That he was responsible for his actions when he planned the rebellion; when he negotiated with certain tribes of Indians to join him; when he was privy to the out- rages committed by his followers on settlers’ homes; when he conceived a plan for obtain- ing aid from the United States; when he offered to betray the unfortunate dupes who trusted in him, by accepting a large sum of money from the Government, there is not an unprejadiced mind in this country will deny. Cruel and merciless when he had an opportunity of exercising his self-imposed authority,he deserves no consideration. He has been a source of trouble to the country

too long. It is time we heard the last of him. (Quebec Chronicle ) We are glad to see the Minerve coming

out squarely, and saying that Riel deserves no sympathy cnthe simple grounds that he 1s a French-Canadian. ‘That is the right way to look at it, and sentimental or national issues must not be imported into the case of the condemned man. The courts at home and abroad are all agreed that the man has been tried properly and

legally. It now remains for the Executive to say plainly what is to be his fate. He has been sentenced to be hanged. We

ought not to make a farce of our legal tri- bunals; and bite our thumbs at justice.

(Montreal Herald.)

Lt is true that the acts of Louis Riel were such as to exclude the hopes of pardon. To the interests and the people of Canada he has proved a malignant enemy, He had

companied by a brutal murder, ani he had no right to expect leniency at the hands of the Government When, however, we come to consider the workings of the Premier’s mind we may find him reasoning that England has stopped short of the death penalty in dealing with her subjects con- victed of political offences; and Sir John’s slavish regard for English precedents will weigh heavily on him Ia searching for further precedent, he will recall the fact that a Southerner was executed after the close of the rebejlion in the United States.

The London Exhibition.

(From the Pioneer.)

We direct attention to a notice of the agents in another place, soliciting products for this great exhibition. No such oppor- tunity has hitherto been afforded for the people of this Province to show to the world the productions and fertility of its soil. In roots and vegetables, we should send such samples, as cannot be equalled in the Dominion. The suayestions of leaving specimens at the different rail- way stations is an excellent one, and we trust farmers will avail themselves of so convenient an opportunity of having their products shown in London. We learn from Mr. Hunt,the agent here, that Island products will be fairly represented in fish, salted and canned; grains of all kinds, roots and vegetables, soap, butter, cheese,starch, tobacco carriages,sleighs, wool,pvative leaves, the different kinds of wood, birds, photo- graphs of public buildings,churches,schools, private residences, &c., &>. The desire is te secure every possible production of the Island, both natural and manufactured, horti, cultural and agricultural Clergymen of all denominations should send photographs of churches, manses, rectories, schools, &c., in connection with their several charges. The London exhibition next year will be attended by millions of people, thou- sands of whom go there for the purpose of ascertaining what the different col- onies of Great Britain produce, with a view of going out to settle ; the assur- ance that geod schools and churches are available, will be no unimportant factor in deciding what their future home shall be. From every point of view it ia important that nothing should be kept back, that all products of the Island should be liberally represented. We bespeak for the agents the active co-operation and assist- ance of every man of leisure, every farmer, producer, clergyman, schoolmaster, artist and manufacturer in the Province.

Talmage on Pride.

Rev. Dr. Talmage recently delivered a vigorous discourse from Isaiah, 7th chap., 20th verse, from which we select the fol- lowing :—

** Some men have a natural way of being very erect, and they have an imperial mau- ner, when at the same time they are as humble as a little child; and there is many aman who goes with seedy coat and slouched hat and unblackened shoes who is proud as Lucifer. You cannot tell by a man’s looks. Perhaps the man of whom you speak was not unserypulous in his deal- ings for there are two sides to every story, and if aman achieves anything great for himeelf or for others, he always gets indus- trionsly lied aboot! Perhaps that man’s business misfortune was not sent asa pun- ishment, but as fatherly discipline by which he is prepared for Heaven, and God may really love that unfortuna'e business man more than He loves you who can pay dollar for dollar, and whose name in the commercial catalogue stands Al. Whom the Lord loveth He giveth five hundred thousand dollars a year and lets die on an _ embroidered pillow. No, I have mirquoted the passage. ‘* Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth ” Better keep your hands off the Lord’s razors. If these I-told-you-so’s had their deserts they would have been in hell long ago! They have more trouble about the mite, the mote in a neighbor's eye, though you have to use a microscope to discover it, than they have about the ship-timber that obscures their ow:, optics. They have an} air sometimes supercilious and sometimes pharisaical, and always blasphemous, with which they take the ruzor of God’s judg- ment and try to sharpen it on the hone of their own hard hearts, andthen when they can get a man sprawled out in disaster they begin to cut mcrvilessly. They first begin with words of sympathy and pity and half praise, and put the lather on thick before they begin with the sharp edge. Better

look out how you shoot at others lest you bring down the wrong one.

Boston Markets.

Boston, Oct, 24

Potatoes, &c,—The potato market has sustained a pretty strung tone, with sales of Honiton Rose at 50 to 53c, and Hebrons at 53 10 55c. Other kinds range from 40 to 48c. Av advance of about 3c was asked at the close,

CneEese.—There is not much change to note in cheese. Trade has been fair, but it is still difficult to cover the extreme rates paid in the country. Sales of Vermont and New York extra have been mostly at 10} io 104c per Ib, with some fine September at 10} to lle, but the outside figure is not yet a tree selling price. Good to choice lots rule at 9 tv 10c. Liverpool quotation is 50s.

Eaas.—There has been a fair demand for fresh eggs and prices are well sustained, Eastern extra command 24 to 24$c, New York and Vermont 22 to 23c, and Northern and Island 22 to 224c. Western are selling at 20 to 22c, inciuding best Michigan at 22c. Limed are quiet at 16 to 18¢. We quote: P. E. Island, 22 to 224¢,

Fisu—-Receipts of Mackerei at Boston for the week foot up 6,685 brls., including 4,197 bris from the fleet and outports, and 2,488 bris from foreign ports, Total re- ceipts from the fleet of all New England ports for the week was 14,356 bris, against 8,472 brils for the previous week and 15,073 bris. for the correspondtng week jlast year. This makes the total catch to date 301,595 bris. as compiled by the Bostoa Fish Bureau, a decrease of 102,915 brls. as cora- pared with the total catch for the same time last year. The fleet made some good hauls in Massachusetts Bay early in the week, but since Wednesday nothing of con- sequence has been done, the schools hav ng left the Bay and gone South. A number of vessels have hauled up and the: season is now nearly closed. The demand has been slow the past week, but prices of Shore Mackerel are well maintained. Sales from pickle ruled at $7 ‘0 $7.50 per bri, with barrel. Inspected lots acld at $5 for No. 3, $7 for No. 2, and $16 and $20 per bri. for No. 1 Nova Scotia and P. E. Island have been difficult to placa, and were sales forced concessious would have to be made. For Nova Scotia Mackerel the quotations are $14 and $19 for extra No. 1, $5 50 and $6.50 for large

EXAMINE

No. 2, and $5.50 for No. 3, Islen1 Mack- | erel take a wide range as to quality, Cod-| fish are in liberal receipt, and cargo Jots are | not selling freely. We quote dry Bauk at! $3 and $3.25 for large, and $2.62} ani} $2.75 for medium; pickle cured Bank $3) for large, and $2.75 for medium; pickie cured Shore at $3.50 and $3.75; aud dry at $4 per qti. Hake are quiet at $2 per qtl. Indians to be Executed.

A despatch from Ottawa states that the| Indians who have been condemned to deavh for the part they took in Riel’s insurrection will be executed. The example, it is thought, will have a salutary effect on the tribes which might be inclined to disaffec- tion. No public interest in the fate of these men has been manifested. and in the absence of a reprieve, for which ne one has asked, they will be hanged onthe 27:h November. Precautions will be taken to prevent mischief being done, by way of re- taliation, by the Indians,by whom, it is said, ammunitlon for breech loading rifles is being brought in from the United States; a detachment of mounted police will be put on each reservation when the execution takes place. The settlers, it seems, are anxious that the Indians should be disarn:- ed of breech loading rifles, for which authority exists under the law of last session. Fixed ammunition or rifles no cone on this side is allowed to sell them, and if, as reported, they are importing such ammunition from the States, it is quite clear that whatever the'r intention they could use it for illegitimate purposes. The Half-breed refugees are al- most sure to try to stir up the Indians to do mischief. Disarmament of all but shot guns may, under the circumstances, become a necossity.
