The Liberal Platform. On our eighth page will be found the full text of the Liberal platform as it has remained unchanged since adopted in June, 1893. We commend it to the careful perusal. and attention of all our l readers, especially the Patrons, who will find it almost identical with their own; and we doubt whether a Conservative can be found hardy enough to seriously find fault with any of its planks except the one relating to Protectionâ€"who question upon which the coming election is to be fought. It will make an im- portant difference to all classes, partic- ularly to the poor, whether the country be well or ill governed during the next. five years, and we do not see how it; can fail to appear clear to anybody that freer trade, reduced taxation. enlarged markets and the abolition of handling are one and all exceedingly desirable ; but it must be borne in mind that it is useless to hope for them while the pres- ent Government is in power. Keep the Liberal platform where you can lay your hand on it at any moment, and read it twice a week between now and election day. Disappointed.“ The Conservatives have been greatly disappointed by the Patrons, whose lender, Mr. Hnycock, is a man of con- siderable ability, and whose followers either think as he does or know enough to let him do their thinking. Just after the Local Legislature met, Mr. Haycock snubbed Mr. Marter for claim- ing the Patrons as opponents to the Government, and since then the Patrons have voted against two motions intro- duced by the Oppositionâ€"one providing for the payment of registrars and other officials by salaries instead of fees, and the other condemning the method by which such officials are appointed. Naturally the Conservatives are “ riled,” and the Toronto World so far forgets itself as to heap the coarsest abuse upon Mr. Haycock, who is sufficiently well versed in parliamentary procedure to know a trap when he sees it, while Sam Hughes pegs away at the Patrons inl the style with which his readers are far too familiar. and decsn’t boggle at a fib if he think it will serve his turn. It is not true, as stated in the Wurder that Mr. Hnycock and his followers support the fee system; but they refused to vote against it while the question was under the consideration of a commission. A Conservative Confession. The Montreal Gazette is in the front rank of Conservative journals, but it is not so blinded by partyism that it can- not sce any merit in an opponent or any fault in a friend; and instead of deny- ing, as many papersâ€"the Lindsay Wur- der, for instanceâ€"would, that there is i any truth in Mr. Lauricr’s charges against the Conservatives of hoodling and other corrupt practices, it makes, though no doubt very unwillingly, the following admission: “ The Co'uservative record in regard to this crime, it is regrettable to say, is not an enviable one. Men prominent in the Consct‘vativc rank“, members of. Parliament even. trusted officials, titre-l most workers in the party cause, hovel not only been charged with corruption. but have had the charges against them ? provcn.

John [lender- shott was the uncle of the victim, upon whose life he held an insurance poricy for $115000, the premium upon which was 59 more than the young man's yearly wages. Welter was- in the em- ploy of John Hendershott, to one of whose daughters he was engaged, and it is supposed that the old man per- suaded him to commit the crime. William D. Hendershott was murdered with an axe, and an attempt was made to induce the belief that he had been killed by a falling tree,under which his head was placed, but the evidence against both prisoners was So strong that the jury. alter a consultation of about four hours, unanimoust agreed upon a verdict of guilty. It was at first thought that. the murder was com- mitted by Welter alone, but, if his alleged subsequent confession be true. Hendcrshott was present and assisted, and afterwards started with his daugh- ter for the village of Eden, where, later in the day, he received a telegram stating that William Hendershott had been accidentally killed. Hosts Robber-y: Just after dark last Friday evening Mr. J. J. Alldred. a farmer who does his buying and selling at Kinmount, left that village for home, but had driven a very short distance when two men jumped upon his sleigh. Mr. Ali- drcd’s whip. a heavy “ black snake,” was under his arm, and one of the men snatched it away, caught it by the top, shook the butt end over his head and threatened to bmin him if he did not give up his money. Mr. Alldrcd said that he had no money, but, upon his assailant declaring that ho had seen him have some in the village, he handed him a quarter dollar, and both men then jumped off the sleigh and went away. Mr. Alldrcd did not know who the “ silent partner "in the transaction was, but on Saturday he. went to Police Magistrate Deacon's office at Lindsay and laid information against Joseph Scott, who, he said. was the man who assaulted and robbed him, and whom he had seen looking intently at some money he (Mr. Alldred') was handling in Mr. Graham’s store at Kinmount. B-y Saturday’s mail Constable Nevison of Fcnelon Falls received a warrant from Col. Deacon, and on Monday morning went to a farm in Somcrvillc where Scott, who is a young unmarried man, was working, arrested him and took him to Kinmount, where Mr. Frederick Train, J. P., took bail for his appearance at that village before G'ol. Deacon this (Friday) afternoon. It is but fair to state that the accused says he can prove an alibi. and it is to be hoped, for the sake of his many friends as well as for his own, that he will be able to do so»,.as highway robbery, even of a few cents, is a very serious offence.

Mr. Isaac tells us that ithas been in his family since it was new, and that the letters “ P. S." and' “T. S. " on the flat of the handle are. the initials of Peter Snell and 'l‘.
