He was asked to give financial aid. He re- \fused. He replied that the prose- gator would get one half of the fines bflicted. The crime in which these "' n were charged was one against State. The judges had found m guilty of a most serious of- ! as against the whole body of hon-' N electors at Sault Ste. Marie.

But after one thousand "the had been spent by the private ‘ . ten in serving the witnesses ' " . then to Sault Ste. Marie, '« were checked by Mr. . . K. 0., one of the . of the Government, ’\ These facts were brought out at the trial, and several men were named by the judges for corrupt practices. Mr. DuVernet asked that Mr. George Sutherland be included among them, but he was not report- ed, notwithstanding that Chancellor Boyd had said that Mr. Sutherland had organized the trip of the Minnie M. However, some of the corrup- tionists were reported. and it then became the duty of the Crown At- torney to prosecute them. But the Crown Attorney, who had just been appointed. was one of Mr. Smith’s leading suppcrters. He backed a note for a large sum {or the candi- date. He was one of the men named in the petition against Mr. Smith It was, perhaps, too much to expect that he would proceed with the ne- cessary vigor against them. And, naturally, as he had been engaged in the trial as one of Mr. Smith’s coun- sel, he could not very well prose- cute the reported corruptionists. That is where the Attorney General should have stepped in. When he saw that the proper ofiicer could not perform his duty, he should have taken steps to secure the punishment of those whom the judges reported. But Mr. Gibson gave no sign of any such intention. It is a fair deduc- tion from his conduct in similar cases that he did not intend to haw the reported men prosecuted. They were to go free. They had committed crimes to keep the Government in power. The judges said so. It is quite clear that in return the Gov- ernment was bent on protecting I. threw-breve; ~ 5 oeee of Beelt Ste.

Nothing wee left undone, fair or foul. that could be medeto prolong its existence. The Hon. J. M. Gibeon took a personal interest in the campaign. He was at the Sault the night before the election. On the public platform Mr. Boyce read a letter in which the trip of the Minnie M. was told in advance. The At- torney-General, as the highest legal authority in the Province. was urged to prevent the outrage. He absolutely declined to make the least eflort to stop the nefarious enter. price. He did not even ask Mr. Boyce for proof of his assertion. He said he was not a policeman. But was he not the High Constable of Ontario? And had he not authority to appoint special officers for an emergency? Was there no officer at Sault Ste. Marie to stop the Minnie 31.? Apparently none that wanted to stop her. But when the Conser- vatives chartered the steamer Ruth to follow the Minnie M. with scruti~ neers for the polls at Helen Mine and Michipicoten. there was on hand a Liberal lawyer to prevent the Ruth carrying the few passengers who were bent on protecting two polling booths in a remote corner of the con- stitueuty. There was no attempt made to stop the Minnie M. with its alien pluggers, but prompt measures were taken to stab the pursurers. This case of the Ruth ought to be very strictly investigated. If the Ruth was intended to carry Tory pluggers, as The Globe said, we want to know why the Liberals of Sault Ste. Marie stopped the Ruth and allowed the Minnie M. to go. assur- iug Mr. Gibson that such expeditions as that of the Minnie M. and the Ruth were impossible. If the Min- nie M. contained the criminals and the Ruth the detectives, so much the worse. conclusivelx. Subsequent events prove that the wanted.

This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neigh- borhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awaken- ed in the middle of the night by a wh00p from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old fashioned re. medy for croup, known as hive syrup, but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is bet- ter. and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to " throw up the phlegm ” quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by H. Parker.â€"1. In his reply to the Alliance mani- festo Premier Ross contends that he fulfilled the Government pledge of 1894 by givnng the peeple the refer- endum. It is true, he says. that Sir Oliver Mowat in promising to go as far in the direction of prohibition as the constitution would allow, said nothing about a referendum. and ap- parently was not thinking of one; but as he said nothing to the con- trary. Mr Ross was juStified in tack- ing this condition to the pledge. This is extraordinary reasoning. Sir Oliver certainly did not say that the question would be submitted to a popular vote, for the sufficient rea- son that such a vote had just been taken; that a majority of nearly two to one for prohibition had been given, and that this vote was the basis of the demand made by the prohibition- ists, to which demand Sir Oliver’s pledge was a reply. According to the reasoning of Mr. Ross. Sir Oliver might have put his pledge in this way : “ You have given such a mag- “ nificent vote for prohibition that I “ will allow you to take another vote “ under far more diflicult conditions. “You have worked so hard that I "will let you work harder.” Ima- gine the wild enthusiasm with which such a pledge would have been re- ceived.â€"Toronto News. soda take- hy the private prose- cutor. The trail of the Government is everywhere from the nomination of Ir. Smith to the elorts to pre- vent the punishment of the corrupt agents. Having got the case before the court, after spending a large sum of monev, it was found that the! judge had no jurisdiction. In ar-' ,ranging the circuits the judges [pl’aced the Chief Justice of the Court of Exchequer on the list for Sault Ste. Marie. But as no appointment has been made to that position an- ather judge had to take the Assite, and Mr. Justice Osler was selected. He is a judge of the Court of Appatl, and the statute requires that the trial of men accused of chances j against the election law shall be held f by a judge of the High Court. When the point was raised. Judge Osler decided that he had no jurisdiction, and a postponement. therefore, be- came necessary. The Chancellor and Judge Teetzel knew that they had reported men for corrupt practices, and that their trial ought to take place at that Assize. Their interest in the case might well be expected to be unusual, and such as would cause them to take special pains to avoid any delay in the trial of the men they had named. Yet by their action two months time is lost, and convlction rendered extremely diffi- cult. The general elections may be, held before Chancellor Boyd and; Judge Teetzel return to Sault Ste.‘ Marie to try the men they have named themselves, and thus the evi- dence to be adduced at the trial kept from the people until after the vote. This is the worst case in the history of the Province. If the Government had been honestly desirious of pun- ishing the criminals, the same course would have been taken as the Do- minion Government took in appoint- ing Mr. Sherley to prosecute the men who brought bogus ballot-boxes from Watertown. But, instead of facilitating the prosecution, it has been obstructed and delayed. MR. BOSS AND PROHIBITION.
