There, seems. to be crime without a cause, the miserable shooting down of men who are wanted and for the plendid work they are doing. Take the case of David Graham Phillips, who was cruelly assassinated in New thor was making good his claim to literary ability. He had written several entertaining and instructive | i books. He began life humbly, as a reporter, and had risen to a position in which his work was in demand by the great journals and magazines, > He did not appear to have enemy. He had no relations Goldsworth, and did not know man. The nearest they. came together was as neighbors. One roomed op posite to the home of the other. The one wos an optomist, having in mind and heart always the brightest ideas of life and service. He put them in his books. The other was an an with anar- chist, who, though clever, brooded | over his reverses, and took issue, ap-| i parently, with all who were satisfied with conditions as they are. Phillips' murder cannot be explained. | There is nothing to indicate why he should be cut down, except as an ob- ject of another's insane jealousy. The number of calamities following the | folly of lunatics will arouse the state] to action. No man should be put ine | to confinement who is not insane, but ' no one who is insane should be al- lowed at large. Sooner or later he commits a crime that shocks society. | THE EVENT OF THE YEAR. i Yesterday was the red-letter day in the House of Commons, the day when ! the report of Messrs. Fielding and Patterson, with regard to a reciprocity of trade belween the United States and Canada, was made public. Not in years--not since 1878 when the Na. | tional Policy was announced--was so} York by G. C. Goldsworth. The 'au : presented to Mr. Fielding some time ago. Tainted money, some ome hints.

A "public man influ enced against the dischgrge of his duty, adds a third, ' And the fact is that the statement is a malicious lie and never bad any foundation. in. fact. A member of par- liament, to show his cleverness, gives notice that he will ask about the gift, land there is mot any one in the house who can answer the question. But the men who raised the Fielding fund, Hon. Mr. Jafiery and P. C. Larkin, of Toronto, and who hold the subscrip- tion nothing to do with them, and did not give a penny towards the fund. Will the slanderers offer au apology ? We shall sep. Then Col. Hughes, at St. Catharines, and at a conservative smoker, goes out of his way to assail Dr. Macdon- ald. The colonel charged that the edi- tor of the Globe was in the pay of Mr. Ginn, a' Boston publisher, and for $2,500 a year spent part of his time in touting for reciprocity, * which means," said Col. Hughes, * annexa- tion, the hauling down of the flag that graces these walls." Dr. Macdonald, in ill-health, is tra- velling in California, and so cannot the personally and at once nail this he. Dr. Macdonald is an advocate of peace, but his colleagues in the press dem) that there is any connection between this policy and the question of trade as Col. Hughes has associated them. There is no ground for the statement that he is in the pay of any one asa trade commissioner. Col. Hughes has the nerve to talk of Dr. Macdonald as a former school pu- pil, in whose welfare he is interested, and he gives evidence of his good in- tentions by slandering the man. The mills of the gods grind slowly, but surely. Sooner or later their Nemesis will overtake these scandal mongers.

Washington, Jan. 27.-- Taft proposes ahout Ye ference Lo the sweeping tarifi changes announced, yesterday. Nobody is satisfied but Taft and his advisers. Every senator and representative in Washington is receiving telegrams from constituents telling him to have this or that item changed or certain pet industries or producers of his own people will have to go out of busi ness. The general opinion is that be- fore the treaty with Canada goes through congress, it will be amended almost bevond recognition. Hardly any industry affected is united in its opinion. Lumbermen in some districts like it; others say it is disastrous. Fishermen on one, coast are wailing their distress, and on others are glee ful. Tariff Talk. Under the new tariff the total amount of duty remitted by the Unf ed States is $1,550,000 and by Can- ada #2,560,000, At Montreal leading millers say they are hard hit by tariff changes. The identity ok interests, political and geographical proximity, was the reason given by President Taft to congress for the tariff changes. The Toronto Globe says the tariff will be distimetly popular in United States and Canada. The Toronto Mail-Empire says the many concessions made by Canada will be disastrous to producers here. The London, Eng., Morning Post says President Taft's remarks show a scarcely veiled desire for political union with Canada. WHAT NEW TARIFF MEANS.

While the ordinary schedule forms are for distribution at all the houses in the kingdom, special books and forms for use on ships, barges and in the artay and navy are in draft, and supplies of these will shortly be ready for circulation. With regard tot army schedules, the instruc- tions are that where military stations with a population of over 100 exists, the local census authority is expected to communicate with the officer com- munding, who will appoint such mili- tary oihicers as may be necessary for the enumeration work.

Preparations on practically similar lines are being made with-regard to enumerating the wen of the British navy. Meanwhile a stafi of about thirty trained offi- cials at the London census office are deciding how many forms have to be sent to each specific area. This is done by rigorous scrutiny of carefully compiled descriptions of every parish, which have been drawn up and sent in by registrars on the spot and then verified before submission to the re- gistrar-general Every registrar has forwarded the names of the streets, roads, - squares, terraces, lanes and villages, and the number of housed in his area, together with the esti- mated number of families in each tewe- In the census office these returns with inac- 16, ment. are now being finally checked the ordnance survey maps. euracy is suspected in the total num- ber of houses in a given district the checker picks out the yuarter on the survey map and compares the number of buildings ¢hown there with those in the hook. For weeks the officials have been engaged at this task, and not until its completion, about the roel of the month; an the begining of the general distribution of the schedules take place. The task of obtaining 36,000 com petent enumerators is not being over- come without difficulty. Men who are employees of local authorities are naturally the most fitted for the work, but some of the municipal bodies are objecting to their officials being thus engaged on the ground that the duty should be entrusted to the unemployv- ed, and they urge that men for thas purpose ought to be obtained through the labor exchanges. Some boards of guardians have overlooked the fact, however, that the Census Act compels them to allow their officials to take over this work if required to do so by the local rovernment board, In the correspondence which has passed between the census authorities and the ohjecting municipal bodies it has beén pointed out that the registrar-general has to guard against the probability that unems ployed clerks to act as enum erators may obtain permanent em- ployment following upon their .enzage. ment for this -- and thus be pre vented from performing their census duties.
