Sir Wilfrid Laurier has just re- ceived the Royal command to be present at the coronation of the King in June next. It is understood that all the Colonial premiers are to be invited to be present, the idea being to make the coronation ceremonies as impressive as possible. Czolgosz, the murderer of Presi- dent McKinley. was electrocuted at Albany on Tuesday morninglast. It in reported that cancer has de- veloped in the throat of King Edward and that three Operations have been performod since his accesion to the throne. A twelve-year-old son of Mr. Samuel Marrotte. of Montreal, was followed into a field by 3 Dane named Tobin Hanson, who cut the boys throat and threw his body on a pile of stones. Hanson murdered the boy for a few cents which he found in his pockets. Tobin gave himself up to the police, confessed his crime. and is now in custody. The treasurer of the Jarvis Street Baptist Church, Toronto, has for- warded to the City Treasurer a cheque {or $587.50 as an instalment on the 885001 taxes which the church pays oi its own accord on the annual levy. This church does not believe in church exemptions. and for many years has set the good example of contributing to the public lunds. “ Why don’t you, as an exponent of public opinion, give this or that in- stitution s rsking up through the columns of your widly read psper ?" is s question we have been sslred more thsn once. and st first thought it seemed to be quite pertinent.

In this connection, we may just point out that our’town is by no means free from immoralities. We may also point out with equal (orce that the immoralfties are not unknown to the town authorities. and further that conditions are toler- ated that should cause every man of them to blush with shame, and yet they remain inactive. A drunken man is a common thing all the world over, and a man in such condition will fill the atmosphere with blas- phemous and immoral utterances no man, woman or child. should be forced to listen to.

" The Mabee pamphlet ” is perhaps' a work that many of our readers' have not heard of, and will require a | little explanation which we shall en-l deavor to give in a few words and in ' as unbiased a manner as we know how under our present knowledge of affairs. To begin with, Mabee is an American, and during the campaign which resulted in the election of the late Wm. McKinley, he got out a phamphlet entitled, " McKinley in the Witness box.” By a cunningly arranged series of questions and an- swers he professes to make the late president acknowledge himself a coward, a fraud, a liar, a thief and a hypocrite. Recently it seems that Mabee, the same pamphleteer, ap- proached Mr. Whitney, with a pro-‘ position to get out campaign litera- ture along the same lines, the pam- phlet to be entitled. “ Ross in the Witness Box.” This kind of thing he predicted would bring about a revolvtion of party, and knock the Ross Government higher than Gil- roy’s kite; but Mr. Whitney refused to have anything to do with Mabee. and thought the matter would den here. But it was not to be so, Mr. Mabee, the unscrupulous pamphlet- eer was a most slippery opportunist andthe publication of a pamphlet en. titled ‘ Whitney in the Witness box ’ clothed in similar language to that in which President McKinley was upbraided is now said to be published as Liberal literature to be used in the coming contest. Without lur- ther comment on the matter, we may just conclude by expressing an Opin- ion, that any corporate body, or party, resorting to such means to gain ascendency is not fit to be trusted with the administration of public afiairs, and to anyone with a speck of charity in his make-up it is hard to believe that a man like the Hon. Geo. W. Ross would lend him- self directly or indirectly to any such tactics. The following article is clipped from the Toronto “Saturday Night ” and shows the morbid condition of some minds and what they’ll resort to for the sake of getting the al- mighty dollar : “ A few weeks ago the daily papers published details of a particularly re- volting and horrible lynching at Paris, Texas, where a negro. one Henry Smith, was burned to death, after being tortured with red-hot irons, for the alleged murder of a . lour-year-old-girl. Both the phono- graph and camera, it was stated, had been put to use by some enterprising fiend for the purpose of turning to commercial advantage the awful de- tails of the wretch’s sufierings. The pictures and cylinders were making all kinds of money for their owner in the Southern States, the negroes themselves taking a. morbid delight in the horrible show. No one would have imagined, however, that such an exhibition would be tolerated either by public taste or by the law in this country. Yet for almost a week past these photographs have been prominently exhibited in a cigar store window near one of the busiest corners in Toronto, and a stone’s throw from police headquarters. while inside the store the phonograph has repeated in the ears of hundreds of men and boys the screams and groans oi the tortured man. Some idea of the character of this exhibi- tion, permitted to go on by the police, j can best be formed by those who have neither patronized “ the show ” nor would deign to degrade their senses by doing so, from the follow- ing sign (one of many such) displayed before the cigar store: “ Hear the negro yell and plead for water as the flames slowly consume him. You can hear it inside. Get your ticket at the counter and hear it. This week only.” "W'tdc “'I'IIE PIII WIS KILLIIG” “This, be it. understood, was but. one of 'many such signs obtruding themselves on the notice of passers by. Among those who have not ventured to listen to the phonograph an ides was prevalent that the whole thing was a manufactured “ fake.” but this notion was soon dispelled by 1 purchasing a ticket and placing one’s ear to the instrument. Therd’i's no question that the record is authentic. ‘ For pure horror the thing was beyond l words. The yells and curses of the l mob, the screams and pleas for mercy of the slowly roasted negro. combined in a babel so blood-curdling as to be comparable to nothing short of a glimpse into hell itself. It is incon- ceivable how law-abiding Canadians retaining the least vestage of self- respect could listen to so hideous a thing without having their game lrise and being betrayed into an at- ‘tack on the machine and its operator. That such an attraction could play a big business in the heart of a city that boasts of its schools and churches and that is regarded as being the : centre of culture in the Dominion, : suggests some very unpleasant re- flections. To what extent are the ‘ people of this country serious in de- ‘ nouncing the deeds of Southern mobs. ‘ seeing that in an enlightened Canadiq ' an city, hundreds can find pleasure in‘ ‘flocking to see and hear what pur- ports to be a true-to-life reproduc- tion of one of the most awful excesses of mob trial on record? Is there any , indecency to which present-day com- . mercialism will not descend for an L ad vertising dodge or in order to make 1 a dollar? If so. what is the limit?" Neuralgia Almost Drives People Only those who have sufiered it, know of the darting. distracting pains and aches neuralgia inflicts. Ordinary remedies don’t even relieve. It requires an extraordinarily strong, penetrating liniment to drive out the pain. To get relief rub Polson’s Nerviline into the spot.

We. the oflicers and members of L. O. L. No. 1192. Glenelg, take this our; earliest opportunity of conveying to' brother Jas. McCracken. and to the members of the family, our heartfelt sympathy in this sad bereavement. We doubt not but this sad event has come as a heavy blow to your hearts and thrown a dark shadow across the path of life. But amid all that is sad and sorrowful, it should be a pride and satisfaction to know that he has gone to that heavenly home where parting will be no more; and we earnestly pray that in this dark! hour you may receive comfort and consolation from Him who is the source of all help.
