Now it is said namely : take a very moderate subsidy in cash, instead of the 25,000 acres of land, per mile, but what their idea of “moderate ” is remains to be seen. Our opinion is that the Government ought to build the railway, or, failing that, that the contract ought to be lot by tender; and that the very worst thing that can be Gross-cut Saws, done is to pay for it in land, to the own- ' ership of which, in large areas, by pri- vate individuals or corporations, we have a deep-rooted objection. The pro- Axes, Axe Handles, posed grant of four or five million acres to McKenzie & Mann is defended on the grpund that they are running a " great risk, as the land may not be worth anything; but all the available evidence goes to show that the chances are ten to one that the grant would make them so inordinately wealthy that they would be almost a menace to society, for no one need be told the power of money. Let the bonus be in cash, by all means, as we shall then know what the railway costs us; and a very small sum per mile ought to be suflicicnt, as there is no doubt about the line paying, especially as the owners are to be allowed three times the ordinary passenger rates, and any amount they think fit for freight. Because the Guzcltc is Opposed to the Yukon railway bargain it is accused by a few over zealous Liberals of having turned Conservative, but the charge is utterly without foundation. The Go- zeuc is all right and as true to its prin- ciples as it always was, but the Govern- ment appears to have turned Conservaâ€" tive. inasmuch as it is following the ob- jection able practices so much condemned in that party, and the Guzdlc considers it its duty, not to any particular indi- viduals. but to the Liberal party, to say honestly what it thinks. It entirely agrees with the following remarks in the Toronto Telegram of Saturday last: The proof is in coming and getting prices. JOS. HEARD. FOR STYLE AND ECONOMY COMBNED Go to Wm.

He Ought to be Jailed. The following account ot'n homicide at Morrisburg was telegraphed to the Toronto papers on Monday: “ Saturday night Fred Holden, a young man of this town. was accident- ally shct in mistake for a burglar. He died Sunday morning. About mid- night or shortly after a light was dis- covered in the ofiice of Bradfield Bros. & Cc.'s hardware establishment. Bur- glars being suspected. Mr. Harry Brad field was notified, and with the assist- ance of a couple of constables well arm- ed, surrounded the store. A t‘ow‘mo- meets later a form was seen to come who was stationed at the front door with a Winchester rifle, fired. The man dropped to the floor and. a lamp was secured. It was found that the suspected burglar was none other than the firm’s clerk and grandson of the .senior partner, and that a terrible mis- summpned, and it Was found that the bullet had. passed. through the up- per part of one leg and lodged in the other: The bullet was easily extracted. .The patient, fromlossot' blood; together with the awful shock, was in a very Weak condition, and passed away about noon on Sunday. Great sympathy is "family, and" for Mr. Btadfield’s unfor- tunate connection with the sad affair. The deceased was only twenty years ct age, was well liked and very popular. . His untimely end has cast a gloom over the entire community.” It is absurd to say that the shooting of the young man was “ accidental." and in our opinion Mr. Bradficld ought to be sent to jail long enough to give him time to reflect upon the sacredness of human life. He was in no danger }whatever, and, if, he had been. two arm- ed constables were close at hand ; there was no evidence that the man in the of- Ificc was there with. criminal intent; no close look at him was taken, nor was he ordered to surrender; but he was un- doubtedly: guilty of being in the olfice ‘Qwith a light).after business. hours, and ifor. that crime he was promptly. put to ‘death, without being heard inhis own defence. There are men who are glad to-get a chance to. kill a fellow. creature v without danger to. themsclves, and Mr. Harry Brad fieldsis probably one of them. ‘ But we suppose he’s well ofi,‘ and so he gets sympathy insteadof being tried for manslaughter; Eenel‘on Fallss Council.- Fenelon Falls, March 14th,,1898.
