Unfortunately the actions of all the judges have been taken without argument pro or The learned Chief Justice and Mr Justice Hensley heard no argument re-

imagine that when the notice is re- ceived by Judge Reddin he will fully look into and study with care the many provi- sions of the British North America Act, amongst which he will, doubtless, find a direct section authorizing the Parliament of Canada ‘0 establish courts for the better administration of the laws of Canada. Whether the challenged sections of the Criminal Code which establish and make the judge of the County Court, a court of record, called “ The County Court Judge’s Criminal Court,” is or is not an exercise of this power will be one of the legal ques- tions for*his consideration. The Criminal Law is unquestionably a matter exclusive- ly within the jurisdiction of the Dom- inion Parliament, and it would seem to us an anomaly if,injthe face of such a section, Parliament’s right to legislate upon or to confer jurisdiction on a court, in relation tw the Criminal Law, was contingent on the assent of the Local Legislature. If such be the case, then, the Dominal Crim- inal Laws could be made a dead letter by the Local Legislatures either withholding or withdrawing the necessary assent.

We cannot, however, agree*with that portion of the Patriot’s article, which seems to argue that because two judges of the Supreme Court adopted one line of action it became the duty of the third to follow suit. Wedeem it a good sign to see each judge act for himself, and on his own individual opinion as to the construg-

THROWN INTO PRISON.

The Serry Experience of a Minister in Ok- lahoma Territory,

The Rey. Dr. G. R. McKinney, a Metho- dist minister and an evangelist of consider- able note, was arrested in Stillwater, Okla, ten days ago by United States Marshal J. QO. Stevens and brought to Pittsburg on the charge of representing a government pension agent, but was discharged by United States Commissioner MeCandlass, it being a case of mistaken identity. The man wanted was Dr. C. H. Woods. Mr. McKinney says he was taken from his home in the middle of the night, with bare- ly time granted him to bid his wife and children good-bye, and was thrown intn prison with drunken Indians and despera- does.

mitted to send her any information as to his whereabouts. He is without money to get home, and an effort will be made among the ministers in Pittsburgh to raise enough funds to send him back to Still- water. According to his story his treat- ment was outrageous, and he threatens to

enter suit against the government for damages. Dr. McKinney is well known in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania

and many western states.

_—— Sr. Jouyx, N. B., July 17, 1893. B. A. Fielding, Esq., Manager Equitable Life Assurance Society, Halifax, N.S. Dear Sir,—I often hear people say that they would like to insure their lives, but cannot afford it, Such persons cannot have seen the results of the twenty year tontine policies of the Equitable Life As- surance Society of New York. Take my yolicy by way of illustration. I took an Eauitable policy for $2,000 in 1873. I selected the cheapest form of Tontine policy, under which the society agreed to pay $2,000 at. my death, providing J paic an ones of $70.10 for life. But now that has ended, I can either continue my policy

cash value and retire from the company. The cash value is $1,796.60, and as the total amount I have paid in premiums is only $1,40200 this cash return is equal to all the premiums I have paid and 23 percent. interest besides. Thus my policy, which has been a protection to my wife for twenty years, instead of being an expense is a profitable investment.

I take great pleasure in giving this ac- count of my experience with the Equitable. I am not surprised that a company which has been managed so as to secure such re- turns to the living policy-holder under as- surance issued on the life form, should transact a larger annual business than any other life assurance company in the world.

Yours truly,

A PROTEST BY A LIBERAL.

Sir,—The Liberal convention for the First Electoral District of Queen’s has come and gone, and as expected Messrs. Warburton and Sinclair have been select- ed to contest the district at the next election.

Asa liberal, and as one opposed to non- resident Jrepresentatives 1 protest against the selection of Mr. Warburton as our candidates ;

town.

forced themselves on <istricts where they think their election is secure. But Mr. Warburton has made a mistake. A large number of liberals have openly avowed their intention of supporting their fellow- farmer Mr Campbell, the Conservative candidate, in preference to Mr. Warbur- ton the Jiberal candidate, who was thra:t | upon-the district by a clique of boodlers and servile tools.

Is it not a shame and a standing reproach to the intelligence of the Liberal electors of the First District to have a Charlottetown lawyer as our chief candi- date when we have such excellent mat- erial amongst us for representation.

Where is Mr. Moore, of Crapaud, one of our most progressive farmérs, and an undoubtedly, smart man? Where is Mr. Crosby, of Bonshaw, who was so. basely sacrificed at the last partial election ? And where is Mr. Bethune, of Bradalbane, a gentleman well fitted in every respect to be our representative. All shoved aside to make room for the boodlers’ nominee, Mr. Warburton! But let us bide our time. The | elections are not far off, and there we | shall wipe out the affront offered to our

Mr. Editor, am afraid I have already | taken up too much of your space. With your permission, in some future issue of | your paper I shall point out some of the tactics by which Mr. Warburton packed the Liberal convention, and thus secured re-nomination for the First Queen’s.

DUELLING IS NO JOKE. |

Eighty Per Cent, of Duels in Europe Result } in Casualties, | It isa great mistake to imagine that | casualities are the exception to European meetings on the field of honor, says the St. Louis Republic. On the contrary, they constitute the rule, their average amount- ing to as high as 80 per cent. of the duels | fought in Germany, Austria, Italy, Russia, Belgium, Holland and Spain, while in France the average is only about 40 per cent. There were 4,000 duels fought dur | ing the year 1890, in which-Y¥00 men were killed outright, 1,000 sustained dangerous | wounds, which m many cases resulted fat- | ally, while no less than 4,800 of the re- | maining combatants received minor in- } '

juries. That is to say, out of 8,000 prin- cipals in 4,060 duels only 1,400 escaped | without harm. The average is_ nearly | identical in the other countries" above- | named, these figures being based on offi- |

1

cial records. From -+his it will be seen except, perhaps, in France, the chances of | escaping scathelessly from a duel aregrela-

tively very small. Another disagreeable | | consideration of the “affair of honor’, is | | the knowledge that, instead of getting hurt | or killed yourself, you may have the mis- | fortune to inflict a mortal wound upon | your adversary, in which case the tribunal , of the country will generally sentence you to a term of several months’ impris6n-

Down the street through the busy way A lady passed on marketing day. Who, pausing at a grocery store, Stepped quickly in at the open door. With bated breath and anxious mien She queried ; “have you COTTOLENE?”

The grocer, leaving off his work, Interrogated every clerk ;

But none up to that time had seen An article called ‘* COTTOLENE.”

“What is it?’ said he to the dame, “That answers to this curious name. What is it made of? What's its use? My ignorance you'll please excuse.”’

“You're not the merchant for my dimes, I see you're quite behind the times.

For COTTOLENE, I'd have you know, Is now the thing that’s all the go,
