The Hamilton Spectator says: “Let us suppose that it is as the government apparently believes, that the Quebec bishops will be able to dog liver. the promised gends. Then the capture of Quebec members in the House on the remedial bill question i will be a calamity instead of' a blessing. The Quebec member votes in the House for the government and earns the right to the vote promised by the bishops. He will undoubtedly get all they can give him. and if they can give him what the government apparently thinks they can he will be elected at the com- ing electionâ€"a Grit member in oppos- itiOn to the N. P. Thus every French Grit member who votes for the govern- ment on the remedial bill is simply putting a. nail into the government’s cofï¬n. He is simply making one Quo- bec Grit constituency solid for the party which is opposed to the National Policy. If enough Quebec Grits vote with the government to ensure the car- rying of the motion for the second‘ reading of the coercion bill, it will be rather difficult for the government to ï¬nd, in Quebec, those constituencies in . which it hopes to make gains with the assistance of the bishops, for it may be accepted as being the fact that those Quebec Grit members who vote with Mr. Laurier feel perfectly safeâ€"feel quite assured that in doing so they are not endangering their chances of re- election. The chances seem to be that the greater the success of the gOvern- ment in carrying the coercion bill in the house, the less will be its success in carrying the general elections." The position in other words is this : The Quebec bishops have declared it a matter of conscience with "all good Catholics to vote. without regard to their politics. for the Remedial Bill, and have promised that, whether the Bill curry or not, they (the bishops) will use their utmost- influnncc to secure the return of such members at next election as a reward for having voted according to instructions. As Tory Catholics are sure to vote for the Bill, the bishops’ promise is to the Catholic Grits. who, seeing the point to which the Spectator draws attention. will'prob ably be willing to pay the price asked for the powerful support of the priest- hood. especially as it will save them from incurring the censure of their Church, which it is desirable to avoid if possible, as the author of Ingoldsby tells us, “A row with the clergy is always dis- tressing, They’ve got such a. knack of bestowing a blessing.†-. The ultimate result of the bishops’ zeal on behalf of coercion was probably un- foreseen; but having made a promise they will of course keep it, and they are pledged to do their best, under certain easily fulï¬lled conditions, to secure the return of opponents of the ‘ Government that has shown itself willing g to do any mortal thing likely to prolong its tenure of ofï¬ce. Suicide of Samuel Svirhuton. On Sunday afternoon Mr. Andrew Sutherland. station master here, while in his ofï¬ce received a telegram from the station master at Coboconk station, stating that Samuel Swanton. the well- known buyer of ties, poles. cordwood, etc., along the line of the Victoria rail- way, had shot himself in his room at Pattie’s hotel. Mr. Sutherland at once imparted the sad news to the relatives ' of the deceased, and about six o’clock ‘Coroner Nnylor. Mr. Thomas. Roberts land Mr. W...

Next morn. made another attempt, and, as they had plenty of light and farmers were out all along the line shovelling away the drifts, they managed to get through. Mr. Naylor had gonein case the facts should warrant the holding of an in- quest, but he soon decided that it was not necessary. The last seen of Mr. Swanton alive was on Saturday evening about 7 o'clock, when he retired to his room, and. after looking the door, went to bed. Miss Eliza Keys, (Mrs. Pat. tie’s daughter by her ï¬rst husband) is an invalid, and about three o’clock on Sunday morning her mother went down stairs to get. her a drink. Upon her return, Miss Keys said she had heard a noise like the report. of a pistol and asked what it was; but her mother told her that she was nervous, and that what she had heard was probably only the noise of something cracking with the frost. As both breakfast and dinner passed without Mr. Swauton making his appearance,nnd no answer being given to repeated loud knocks upon the door, it was ï¬nally burst open, and the h‘orrifyiug discovery that he had taken his own life was made. He was lying on his back in bed, with all his clothes . on but, his coat and boots, and with his left hand-covering the left side of his breast; and a 33 calibre revolver, with one chamber in the cylinder empty, was lying on the floor by the bedside. It was at ï¬rst thought that he might have died from some natural cause; but when Dr. Laurie of Coboconk removed the dead man's hand from his breast, it was seen that he had been shot through the heart, and the bullet was afterwards found in the bed. wasbruught to the Falls in a handsonm casket by Mr. Lewis Deyman, under- taker, and the funeral. which was of both town and country, moved at 4 p. m. on Tuesday from the residence cl Mr. J.

Swanton, who came to the township “of Fonelon about forty years ago. and acquired so much land that he was able to give each of his boys a farm. the ï¬ne one now owned by Mr. Wm; Isaac full- ing to the lot of Sam. After working it for a time he sold it and wunt into the business at which he has been since engaged, and was so successful that at one time he was reputed to be worth about $50,000, and to have his life inâ€" sured for a large amount.

But he was still able to make a good living, and the news that he had died by his own hand came like a thunder clap upon the community and occasioned nearly as much surprise as regret. He was always very popular, being of a friendly, social disposition and possess ing the great merit of promptness and liberality in money matters. He was thrice marriedâ€"ï¬rst to his cousin. Miss Sarah Swunton. next to Miss Kate Dewart. of Fcnelon Falls, and then to Miss Mary Clarke. of Rochester. N. Y., who survives him.

Two Murderous Desperadoes. On Thursday of lust Week at Wood. word, a little hamlet 25 miles from Bellefont, Pa. while John L. Burner and Frank W. White. two constables. were attempting to arrest a desperate criminal named William Etlinger. he ï¬red upon both of them, killing Burner noon the spot and fatally wounding his companion. The murderer then burri- cwdcd his house and deï¬ed the assem- bled citizens. who nt once sent n tele- gram to Bellcfont, and the sheriff and n posw of well-armed men left at 6 p. m by special train for lVoodward. flun- drcds of shots were exchanged that evening between the besiegers and tho besieged without effect. and next morn- ing the position remained unchanged. The sheriff did not like to burn or blow up the house. as the dcsperado's family were inside; but, as there was no alter- native, he set ï¬re to it a little before noon, and soon afterwards the woman and her two children came out and were allowed to escape. It was thought for a few minutes that Etliugsr intended to perish in the flames rather than be or- rested; but just as the roof was about to collapse he appeared at the cellar door, and, upon being called upon to 5"“ loading shot-gun, took his station abbot , snd‘ ' Perth streets, and, after yelling several ' noon near the corners of King times and emptying both barrels into the air, loaded up again from a supply of cartridges in his pocket and com- menced deliberately ï¬ring at everybody who came within sight. His ï¬rst vic- tim was Chief of Police Rose, who woe wounded. it is believed fatally, by I charge of heavy shot in his chest, throat and head; and the next was Mr. Peter Moore, who was shot through the head and fell dead on the spot. Alonso Serviss and an old Indian named Diok~ son were standing close to Moore at the time, and the latter was seriously,- though not fatally. wounded in the face and head, but Serviss escaped unhurt. Just then Constable Tinsley came out of the police headquarters, which were only a few rods away, and commenced griug at Lapoiut with a revolver from ehind n weigh-scale close at hand, but the distance was too great, and his shots proved ineffectual. All this time Ls- point was loading and ï¬ring as fast as he'could, and six more men were wounds cd, but neither of them very seriouslv. Tinsley then got a gun, crossed the street, entered the side door of a corner grocery and went out at the front, but the moment he stepped on to the side- walk Lupoint threw up his gun and- fired, and the ennstnblo had to retreat, Covered with ,blood. Fiually, two or three persons armed with guns and revolvers appeared at the upper win- dows of adjacent buildings and ï¬red at Lupnint. who at once fell. so badly wounded in the legs and abdomen that He is i am unmarried middle-aged man in good . circumstances, and devoted a great deal inf his time to hunting. He is said to very humorously attended by residents have “ always acted vch strangely,"_ and an attempt was once made to have illilll placed in an asylum, but it was unsuccessful. He was not much addict- ed on liquor, but he was once locked up for b-~ing drunk and disorderly and o threatening his brother's life, and has lsiucc borne ill-will towards the local constabulnry.
