Hditorial Notee.

—AlIl Irish industries with the single exception of the linen manufacture, are described by a committee of the British House of Commons as being in a deplor able condition ; and an improvement in railway facilities is recommended. So it seems that Free Trade Ireland is not prosperous, and that one form of pro- tection at least is required there.

— They understand each other! In his speech to the Court which tried him, Riel said: “Mr. Blake is trying to bring Sir John Macdonald to his feet, and it is in the same way that lL wanted to accomplish the same end.” In other words, Riel and Blake are working or the same lines. This had previously been made pretty evident by the speeches

of Mr. Blake.

— The Montreal Witness says Gen. Middleton has Jearned in the same school as General Wolseley the lesson that troops are better in every way up- der the condition of total abstinence from strong drink. Even those who were accustomed to the use of liquor found that they could do better without it. The total absence of crime General,Middleton ascribes to the total absence of stimulat- ing drink.

— Mayor Beaugrand, of Montreal, has received a letter from ex-Consul- Geveral Stearns, from his home in New Jersey, in which, in referring to the return of the 65th and Garrison Artillery, he says :—** Please convey to the brave members of these regiments, on returning, my hearty congratulations for the satis- factory manuer in which they did the work assigned them. The volunteers of Canada have, during the past few months, written their names in imperish- able letters high up on the scroll of fame, and shown an alacrity, an endurance, a patience, acourage anda discipline of which not only their own countrymen, but the whole continent are proud.”

Wuen the 65th Battalion, Montreal, re- turned from the Northwest, they were met by the Grit friends of Riel, who appealed to them to subscribe to the fund for the defence of Riel. Though the Battalion is exclusively French the movement in favor of Riel did not meet with any sympathy. On the other hand a letter was sent by one of the commanding officers (a Frenchman) scorning the idea, asserting that Riel would certainly be hung if his case rested with a jury of his own people, and declaring that if liberated the rebel leader would, if opportunity offered, meet with death at the hands of the half-breeds whom he has duped.

Riel’s Address to the Jury.

Your Honor, gentlemen 6f the jury, gentlemen of the Crown, and our own good counsel,—It would be a very easy thing to plead inganity, but I have no desire to enter such a plea. I hope, with God’s help, to show that Iam not insane. The papers in the hands of the Crown are not like the productions of a madman, and you will not accept them as evidence to support the plea of insanity which my counsel have made on my behalf.

The prisoner here stopped suddenly in his address, and offered up the following short prayer :

“Oh, my God, help me to speak to this honorable court, and to those lawyers, and the jury.” .

He then resumed his address and said : The day I was born I was helpless, but my mother helped me. I am helpless, but the North-West is my mother and my country will not let me perish ; my mother would not kill me and my country will not. I have many good friends, not only here in the North-West but also in Lower Canada. If I was a fool when I camefhere in 1884, I was not so foolish as not to notice that the Metis were eating rotten Hudson’s Bay pork, and the Indians asking for the pit- tance which was their due and refused. I hoped to unite all classes in the Saskatche- wan together. Although I have but half a jury I feel that, actuated by British fair play, they will give me justice. Dur- ing my whole life I have been working for practical results, and God is with me. I found him guarding me in the battle at the Saskatchewan when bullets fell about me likerain. Archbishop Bourget told me in a letter that I hada mission and I know that to be a fact. After referring to his incarceration in the asylum, he said: The police have been very kind to me. It has been said | wanted to bring Sir John Macdonald to my feet. Ithink if I had been properly re- ported my true meaning would have been understood, and my remark would have appeared in a different light. Mr. Blake is trying to bring Sir John Macdonald to his feet, and itis in the same way that I wanted to accomplish the same end. I have beon credited as a prophet, but by the half-breeds, and have 1 not proved it? Your Honor, gentlemen of the jury, my reputation, my liberty, my life, are at your discretion; so confident am I in your sense of duty that I have not the slightest anxiety or doub! with regard to the verdict. The calmness of my mind concerning the favorable decision which I expect from you does not come from any unjustifiable presumption. I simply expect that through God’s help, you wil! balance everything in a conscientious way, and that after having heard what Ii have to say you willacquit me. Gentlemen of the jury, although you are but half a jury, you have all my respect, and I have in you six the same confidence I wouid like to give the other six jurors which ought to compose the number, and, your honor, if you have yourself selected the jurors it is not on your personal responsibility. You have followed the laws made to guide you, and while I do not approve of such laws,it,is my

|duty to make this declaration of my respect

for your honor. This court undertakes to de- cide my case, which had its origin fifteen years ago, long before this Court existed. It is a competent Court, but having to stand my trial before it I consider the pro- vidence of God has perhaps allowed matters to goon in that way up to this moment for a particular merciful purpose. In that light this Court becomes a providential in- strument, which I love and respect. In taking the circumstances of my trial there are only three things | would like to call respectfully your attention to before you re- tire to deliberate: First, that the House of Commons, the Senate and the Ministry of the Dominion, which make the laws for this land and govern it, are not representa- tives whatever of the people of the North- west; second, that the Northwest Council,

generated by the Federal Government, has the defects of its parent. The number of members elected by the

people to the Council make it only a sham representative legislature and no represen- tive government. British civilization, which rules the world to-day, and the Bri- tish constitution has defined a government as those who rule the North-West, and called them responsible governments, which bluntly means that they are not responsible. By all the science which I had here before you yesterday, you were compelled to believe that, if 1 am not responsible, then I am insane. Good sense alone, without scientific theories or explana- tions, leads to the same conclusion. By the testimony laid before you during the trial, witnesses on both sides proved that petition after petition was sent to the Federal Government, but so irresponsible is that Government to the North-West, that for several years it did nothing to satisfy the people of this great land, but that party has not been able to answer once or give a single response. This fact would indicate absolute lack of irresponsibility. In fact there is insanity complicated with paralysis indicated. In fact, with the malady it is said I am suf- fering from, this monster of irresponsibility, the Government and its little one, the Northwest Council, had made up their minds to answer the petition by attempting to jump suddenly on me and my people on the Saskatchewan. Happily, when they appeared and showed their teeth to devour, I was ready. I have fired and wounded them with flashing eyes and clenched hands. Bear it in mind that what is called my crime is high trexon. Oh, my good jurors, in the name of Jesus Christ, the only one who can save me, help me for they ars trying to tear me to pieces. If you take the plea for the defence, that I am not responsible for my acts, acquit me completely ,since I have been quar- relling with an irresponsible, insane Gov- ernment of my own sort. If you pronounce in favor of the Crown, which contends that [ am responsible, acquit me all the same. You are perfectly justified to declare my reason and sound mind. I have acted reasonably and in self-defence, while the Government, my aggressors, being irres- ponsible and consequently insane, cannot but have acted wrongly, and if there is high treason then it must be on its side and not on my part. I have done. rs

In Paris, cremation will soon, to use a popular expression, ‘‘be within the reach of all.” An experimental furnace is being constructed at Pere-la-Chaise, on the prin- ciple of the crematories at Rome and Milan. The cost of a single operation will

be $2.50,

The Porte has made contracts with Krupp for $3,500,000 worth of his guns.

The thermometer is said to have regis- tered 107 degrees in the shade at Chicago.

Archbishop Gibbons, of Baltimore, will probably be made a Cardinal in September.

A Canadian customs officer attempted to seize an American vessel at Sarnia a few days ago.

Gevernor Hill says Grant’s funeral will be the greatest national demonstration ever witnessed.

The railroad is completed 30 miles toward Capdahar from Quetta. And now it is to be stepped.

It is reported that since El Mahdi’s death his followers are continually fighting among themselves.

The Church of Santa Anna, at Naples, built in the sixteenth ceatury, was burned a few days ago.

Queen Victoria cares very little for fancy dishes. She mostly enjoys boiled haddock and a roast loin of Southdown mutton.

The Canadian Pacific Telegraph system will, it is stated, be opened between Montreal and Winnipeg during the coming auturan.

It is now saidthat Farquharson deliber- ately caused the suspension of the Munster Bank in order to get himself appointed liquidator.

William Upward and George Haseltine, London stock brokers, have failed on ac- count of the advance in American railway securities.

An order-in-council fixing the fees in cor - nection with the administration of justice in the Northwest, places jurors’ fees at one dollar per diem.

The Indian soldier who recently shot several native officers, was hanged at Ban- galore a few dayseago in presence of British and native troops.

The Jesuit order throughout the entire world celebrated the natal day cf their patron saint and founder, St. Ignatius Loyals, on Sunday last.

There are rumors of a case of cholera in the bay at New York on a Spanish vessel. The quarantine oflicials say there is no foundation for the rumors.

Gen. Grant’s skin is turning dark. The family objected to any mutilation of the body, therefore the intestines were not removed when it was embalmed.

Adjutant Casgrain, of the 9th Battalion, son of Mr. Casgrain, M. P., for L’Islet, is shortly to proceed to India to join a regi- ment there in which he has received a com- mission.

At the coming meeting at Gastein, Prince Bismarck will attend Emperor William, and Count Kalnoky will attend Emperor Fran- cis Joseph. The meeting will therefore be one of great interest.

In Oriental countries it is the custom to eat and sleep on the house-tops. Hence, when a wife elopes the husband does not say that she has quitted his bed and board, but merely that she has left his roof.

Russian conscripts are rejected if their chests do not measure at least half as much as their stature. Severe starvation and other devices are resorted to by the peas- ants to reduce themselves to avoid con- scription.

Lord Iddlesleigh’s means are quite in- adequate to support an earldom according io old-fashioned ideas, and he has no ex- pectancies. None of his kindred are affluent. His income is about $25,000 a a year.

Many tramps in Chicago are said to be men of education, and one is mentioned who gave thanks for his breakfast in five modern languages, and repeated the Lord’s Prayer in Greek, Latin and Hebrew. And a little wood sawing in simple plain Eng- lish would get the tramp a dinner where all these accomplishments would fail.

The Ottawa Free Press says that the St. John, N. B, Grits will nominate David McLellan for the vacant seat in the House of Commons. David is Provincial Secre- tary of New Brunswick, and it is doubtful if he will give up a sure thing of $2,700 a year for three years for the sake of trying for a $1,000 place, with possibilities in case of obstruction of $1,500.

It is claimed that the Imperia] Federa- tion movement is non-partisan, so far as British politics are concerned, and it is true that prominent public men of both the great parties have lent their names and influence to the scheme. But the Canadian Gazette incidently mentions that thirteen members of the general committee and two other members of the federation asscciation have appointments in the new Imperial Cabinet. The point is worth nothing.

The Medical Record says :—‘' The cause of the disease in Gen. Grant’s case ia large- ly conjectural. It is, however, quite pro- bable that the irritation of smoking was the active cause of the cancer, or at least it is fair to presume that he would not have had the disease if this habit had not been carried to excess. This assumption is made in the face of the fact that of the thousands who smoke, but avery small proportion suffer from the disease. ’

Sir Richard Cross, of the Home Office, told a deputation which waited on him to urge the Government to aid emigration, that the request had been anticipated, and that the subject would assuredly not be lost sight of. Sir Charles Tupper has been urging the British Government to set apart £1,000,000 for an emigration fund, by means of which he thinks a perpetual movement of population could be kept up. The emigration contemplated by the gov- ernment is to the colonies.
