Life of a Black Man Lightly Esteemed. London Advertiser; Toi revelations in regard to the e system in Georgia, under hich the labor "of state convicts, is leased to comtractors, have proven too much even for people accustomed to race riots and lynching. Investigation has revealed a state of affairs worse than the slavery of half a century or more ago. Self-interest, if nothing 'else, prevented the slave-owner from taking | the life of the slave, just as it would cause him to preserve the life of a hprse; but when a human brute has merely a: leasehold interest in a slave even that safeguard is gone. The victim's labor is paid for only so long as he lives, and if he is worked to death his place 'is soon filled. In many instances the which these unfortunates have been convicted were of the most trivial character, such as spitting on the side- walks, and the convicts have been sold into slavery in order that the state might derive a revenue, which has amounted to about $250,000 a year, the money being distributed among the various counties to assist common school education. Some of the stories told before the committee of the Legislature were shocking in the extreme. For instance, a white boy of 16 years, who was sent to penitentiary for stealing two cans of potted ham, was lashed 68 times with a heavy strap for a trifling offence com, mitted during his term. . His death re- sulted within a week, and the death certificate gave consumption as the cause... A notorious negro criminal, the slayer of several men, was employed to force a mutinous convict into a stock- ade and in the struggle the negro ad- ded one more murder to his record, using a pickaxe for his wotk. Much of the evidence is too revolting to be repeated in detail. For days the committee listened to the story of a convict who was flogged to death, the guard who administered the fatal whipping being both in the employ of the state, and on the payroll of the convict lessees. The lesses' only object seems to have been to get all the work offences of GIVEN COLORED MAN. npn ,ed to Years and Forty ashes.

She ought to be taught the beauty of com- pletion when' she is dressing her dolls, and discriminations of color when "she is picking out her hair ribbons. 'The mother who keeps her child's clothes entirely in her own hands until she has reached young-womanhood is doing her a great injustice. A well dressed woman isn't made in a day, and a fine discernment and .discrimina- tion in dress only comes with years of experience, during which the faculty s. [of selection can be developed to a very, high degree of perfection. f d 0 Our Ome Moving Orater.

Prior to most elections, Sir Wilfrid makes an appeal to Ontario; and usually Ontario has not responded very warmly. This year, however, he makes his appeal under new conditions. There will be no discredited Liberal Government in' Toronto to harden the hearts of the people against every Lib- eral leader. He will be more in the position that he occupied in 1896 when his tour through this province aroused great enthusiasm. Certainly he is the best public tribune that the country contains. His platform appeal is far and away more effective than that of any other man in Canadian political life. He is our one moving orator. We have other convincing speakers, logical debaters and masters of platform humour; but we have in political life only one orator, and he is the Prime Minister of Canada. /hether or not Sir Wilfrid will attract votes by his tour,~-he will infallibly attract listeners. i Club It.
