There appears.to be a fatality fol- lowing the trotting dog business in this country. During the past two works the owners of two famous trot- ling dogb, " Doc " and "Major," have committed suicide. The awful murder committed at Listowel on Saturday last is without parallel iu the annals of crime in this country, ind would apparently seem to be the deed of a madman. It is difficult to conceive ot humanity in any lucid form committing BO horrible an act. Although the body wait found only a short time at ter the deed was committed, and the murderer was f.vi-n both immediately before and at ter the crime was enacted, trace of liim baa been lost and he is still at large Thin is a matter of the deepest regret and one which docs not reflect much credit upon the officers of the law in that di <trict. The Toronto World uses MacWher- i I'* reprieve as an eicuse for the ad- option of lynch law, in an article en- titled " How to suppress murder. " The World makes a sad blunder in doing this, and in its somewhat hidden inference that lynching is the proper thing for the Listo*vel murderer is Rowing iced that will bring forth death to innocent victims. Lynch law must never giin a foothold in this fair country of righteoue and justly ne- cuU-d laws. In MacWherrel'a ease the World should remember that gen- eral public sentiment approved 01 the manner in which the guilty man was tluposrd uf.and are n'iu.' satistV'd with his incaiccrutioii durinj his natural I f.-. 'J ln-ir is alao a oortain percent- age of the pt-opJc who oppotiti cam In I I'liiiishmeut altogether. In atUttupt- i'ig to throw discredit np<>n the laws a> exeroixed in Canada, the World deaU to justice a blow that would weaken rather than strengthen her.
