Mexican life and justice have been ijustrated by George I. Ham, of Na- panee, in his own painful experience. Hg failed in the banking business, as others have done, when he assumed great financial dbligations without training, and he was cdst into a Mexi oan prison. Here he bad some com: forts, living according to the pri- dileges of a prisoner of distinction, but he was submitted to indignities which British opurl. "Ham was tried in his absence. He did not hear the charges laid against him. He was not allowed any de fi , either in person or through dbsmel. He had to endure impris- onment without limit, accepting the promise of release from ~ time to , knowing that 'such promises were seriously made. Meanwhile the te of the banking corporation, of he was president, was being by the alleged curators, and t any reference to him or his. is Mexican life and law ! Such the country which has been governed or misgoverned by successive parties coming into office through revolu: tions. The Huerta dynasty holds office hecause of its power, but the 'time is coming when it will be re placed by another party and whose policy is one of usurpation. are unknown to a LABOUR TROUBLES IN CANADA. The Lemieux act i# not being used in Canada to any purpose. Some strikes, which have been on for weeks, are still on, and nothing is being dotie to settle them. The minister of labour took his law partner from St. Thomas to British Columbia, and this law partner will write a flowery re- port of what he saw and experienced. But the sirike gods on and the re port will not finish it. at has hecome of the i or mediation which Mr. zie King exercised to so great an advantage ? Why should an act, which was so instrumental in settling labour difficulties under one govern- ment, become useless and inoperative under another ?- That is the question of the hour. The Erdman Act, which has Leen called into play in the great railway strike in the United States--the apt which is likely to lead to peace--is based upon the Lemieux Act, and was pipjected 'after the former minister of labour in Canada had gone to the United States and explai its ap: plication in' Canada. Strange, ie it not, that the intitation article should be. found so uneful and efficacious y the original arlicle remains un used and inoffective. The cpuse? The men now in office do not know what to do with' with it. concilia Macken- of the Ward Four conservative picnic he became the inspecting officer's men- tor. He suggested the picnic as a diversion. He probably decorated Si Ian with a badge and probably forced him to make a speech. Which does not mitigate _ the offence one iota. Sir Jan had no business at a politi: cal picnic, and he certainly had no tmuginess to make a speech, no matter how indiscreet and insistent the min- ister of militia might be. At any rate the Whig hopes the imperial government will be asked for an ex planation of this performance of an imperial officer, and in advance one can imagine what this explanation will be, CONDITIONS IN THE WEST. Are the times really hard in the west 7 The minister of labour has crossed it, in a private car, has in- spected the country from the var win dow, bas seen the golden grain ad vancing to maturity, and realized the great riches which the crops represent. He has halted in some of the cities ly- ing between Ontario and the coast and finds dullness in them, but not the distress which some people talk about, One fears that Mr. Crothers has not used his eyes to very great advan- tage because the west would not be crying out in ite distress without a cause. On a recent occasion the Whig quoted the Moose Jaw Times as de- claring that the west had not seen times so dull since the eighties, and then there was a crisis of the most serious kind. ~ While the Edmonton Bulletin, the Saskatoon Phoenix, and the Lethbridge News miminize the sit- uation, and regard the candid critic as an enemy of the people, the Cal- gary News-Telegram discusses the sit- uation in an open and fearless way. Public works--that is necessary civic improvements--have been halted for want of funds in several places. The money market will become easier when the crops begin to move, for there is cash enough for them, but in the meantime the News-Telegram thinks the federal government should come to the relief of Alberta with a loan of at least a million dollars. Saskatche- wan could use a similar amount - ad: vantageously, and so could Manitoba in which "there is not evidence of de pression. Perhaps the severest criticism of all is that of the Financial Times, of Montreal, which sharply calls the finance minister to account for ship- ping millions of dollars out of the country, in payment of the public debt, while every dollar of it is in de mand in Canada. Perhaps too much is being collected from the people, but the changes in the tariff eannot be made now, and the public debt must be paid. During recess the whole na- tional plan of financing cannot be changed, and 'the Financial Times should realize this. Money is wanted, great heaps of it, to complete the wonderful works be- gun in a period of expansion, and it cannot be had at present. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Brockville Recorder A great number of tory orators ad- dressed Orange meetings all over Can- ada during the past week. A careful perusal of their speeches fails to show one in which reference was made to the fact that before last election the tory workers throughout Ontario gave whispered promises that if Mr. Borden were returned to power, the first thing he would do would be to rush through parliament a uniform marriage law, and if this were found unconstitutional, Mr. Borden would immediately change the constitution so as to get it through, Not a single tory orator was manly enough to say that Mr. Borden did nothing of the sort. Not a. single tory orator was man enough to say the result showed the Laurier goverfiment iif the right of the matter, and that the Borden campaign whisperers had deliberately deceived the a, in order to get their support Not a single tory orator had the de- cency to say that when the Lancaster uniform marriage bill was introduced into parliament shortly after his first session opened, it was Mr. Borden him- self who killed it.
