To the I leciors_of Ward Five
this ournal impu ning the recent decis
uttack it was contended that the MBE
S (li that the wife of n person charged
trate was altogether wmugin deciding
with an offence against the Prohibition
Act 1000 is not competent or corupallable
as a witness at the trial of such charge;
12) in setting free a prisoner brought
before him for interfering with the
police in the discharge of their duty under
thc Prohibition Act;nnd that in each of
these cases there wusn miscarriage of
justice.
These were, however, attributed to
error cf judgment on the part of the
.\ingistn\te. The motives cr integrity of
ilu- Magistrate or thegenerul conduct of
his Court were not in terms attacked. ll
is also tobenbserved that Lex had not
before trim at the time of writing the full
text of thcjudgrnent delivered by the
Magistrate in regard tothe status of the
wifi- rw u. witness, which reasoned
judrrrncnt, strongly fortified by citations
was afterwards printed in full in The
Patriot. This is apparent from the first
letter of Lex In which referring to the two
judgments in question were used tht-
quaii‘ying words “lf correctly reported."
We rcgrct that with the letters of Let
in the Guardian and the replies and
rejointicrs thereto printed in another
papcr, such readers as had notthe oppor-
tunity of per using what was written on
both sides cannot hc iuliy informed as to
the authorities and citations brought into
the controversy, but the correspondence
\vas too voluminous for this journal ic
publish thc whole of it. We also regret
that the lauguagc used by Lex should
have come so near, if indeed it did not
cross the border line between fair criti~
and that public censure to which no court
cf justice ought ever to be subjected.
\\'hethe1~thc Magistrate was right or
wrong in his decisions upon tneiegal
and constitutional questions which it
became his duty to rule upon, The Guar-

nr.. n ..>1t....iir of iimnkirug you for
only among the higher authorities of the
ordered reductions of 25 to H) per cent in
freight rates, and the railways are ‘
contesting the reduction in the courts. ,
Wisconsin has taken action in another
way by increasing the taxes upo_n railway
companies, and Indiana and Nebraska,
are contemplating like action. Again,
Indiana, Michigan and illinois are
likely to follow 0hio's action in regard
to reducing passenger fares to two cents, 3
and a bill for that purpose has been
introduced in the Maryland Legislature.
This is what our neighbors ara doing. ln
Canada-Eastern Canada_ at least- I
passenger rates are maintained on a three
cent basis and froiirhf. rates being advanc- ,
ed on the Government Railways. This Is|
clearly a retrograde move. i
THOSE PSCRUTINIES.
The plentlfri crop of civic scrutinies
was speedily blasted as by the east wind
yesterday. Not one of them was possible
of being carried on, for the machinery
prescribed by law to that and is wanting. Q
. and if scrutinies could have been carried I
on, the votes under challenge were so few
that in no case eould they huveunsoated o
Mayor or Councillor elect, or have given u
defeated cnntlidate n seat. We ure nut
ciearasto the legal validity of the City
Clerk's action. He has simply cnt a
Gorrlian knot. And he was right, as the
knot could not he untied. “The will of
the people is the supreme la\v." The will
of the people unmistakeably indicated
whom the people wanted for Mayor audi
. Llounclllors, and thcy will all be sworn in.
if thc vallnlty of this action is hereafter
challenged the Legislature may bei
depended on to giv cit sanction.
Brick and stone do not make buildings
fire proof. The disastrous fire in St John’
destroyed some of the most. suhstantlali
buildings, the first attack being from in I
side.

WHAT ABOUT THIS. '
Ti\c following figures are taken from
the Dominion Government report for

The profits carncd for the previous year

different Life Insurance Co's here
mentioned arer- Canada Life 85.75

The reason this roideiinblc English Con

compared to the Canadian Co's. is ' quite l
apparent to any person who Ttnows.

Government and the reductions that
would occur in interest rates,
the management of this Co.
