[The November elections on the other side, are generally watched with some degree of interest on this side of the lines, because they are supposed to be pointers of the succeeding Presidential election. The fact that Major McKinley,- the hero of the celebrated` prohibitory tari', was a candidate for governor of the a State of Ohio, and that the election was to serve as a test of public sentiment on that tari' gave to that election more than ordinary interest. The Major secured his election by a very respectable plurality although some other issue besides the tariff was mixed up with it. It is charg- ed also that .hie election has cost one million dollars. However, that may be, the Republicans declare it a victory for the high tari` that will be an issue in the election for President next year. The Democrats" secured the great State of New York on purely local issues and by the peculiar tactics of `Tammany hall. There is `nothing in these. elections that points` to any early fair trade ar-T rangements between our neighbors -and the Dominion. Wisdom points to closer trade relations with England as our best market` and ' extending our commerce in other dirsctions._ We can stand the tariff of McI_inley quite as longas our ' neighbors. - . 4' a We have been mercifully saved from many calamities which have fallen heavily on some other peoples. Famine and pestilence, earthquake and tempest, oods on land and wreclis at sea have destroyed many thousands of lives and swept away `almost V incomputable -wealth," entailing, mourning, sorrow and misery upon other lands, while we have enjoyed comparative immunity from such visitations. Ingrati- tude and grumbling in high places we have had, with an attempt to throw away the country's rich inheritance, but from the expected results of this folly and wickedness we have been providentially saved. for which the country's gratitude will this day nd expression. The bless- ings both national and individual which we have received are too many to be `enumerated as well as the evils and calam- ities from which we have been preserved. Let the people rejoice and give thanks to A the Author of all good-the great Ruler of nations for his especial goodness to our country, and let all manifest the sincerity of their. thanksgiving by aiding to aIne- ' liorate want and misery wherever it may be found, whether at home or abroad, _ -ran GRAND Jumr an-rill. The View of the matter by our Judge CABINET ` RECONSTRUCTION. The reconstruction -of ~-the Dominion Cabinet seems to be a source of intense interest to our friends the Grits, It would be well if they would calm their fears. Hon. Mr. Abbott will do the re- _ construction all right enough, andwhen he meets the House again he will have a government that _will command re- spect for ability and the condence of the country for the character and purity of its members. The Premier has shown qualities of rmness, independence, tact and business capacity that fully justify the choice of. the Governor-General in asking him to take the place of the great statesman who has passed away. It is. true that for some little time the Premier was embarrassed by the course of Hon. Mr. Chapleau, butthe sogcalled crisis has blown over and .Mr. Abbott has won golden opinions by his wise, rm and conciliatory course. He has `demonstrat- ed that he is something more than a . makeshift" premier as Reform journals have been accustomed to call him. He has greatly strengthened his position by taking into thecabinet Mr. Ouimet, aman of the highest characterandgability, and having the full condence of the people of Quebec. There will be other changes, but whatever they may be, the country may rely upon the wisdom of the choice that will be made. Whether the poetic and funny man from the Northwest will `write himself into the cabinet by his articles on reconstruction in the Week, we shall not pretend to say, but we may depend on the wisdom and prudence of Premier Abbott to surround himseliby the best men in the country. l'\_,,l`I!s D` ou;G;i":Iiex?1L Iziiym tent, the country is safe.

Mr. Seargeant knew this and knewwhat that money was paid for, but meanly let it be inferred that it was for the same sort of service as for Preston's unpaid account. Wehope our esteemed contemporary will do Mr. McOart_hy the justice to state these facts as an osetto `its untruthful paragraph. a Mr. Seargant, the Grand Trunk Oicial did reveal thefact, that Mr. Preston the Grit organizer - ~ jgeueral. 1 had `purchased tickets` to the value of $4,000 to carry Grit voters from cutside constituencies to vote in-Wierent parts of the country and he did uy um Mr.'McGarthy had` paid? a bill to the Grand Trunk Railway of $86 75, but had not the manlinese and honesty to say that the bill was for legiti- mate services and not for such a purpose as that for `which Preston had _ spent $4,000, Thatbill which is made up of two items, oue,$47.25V for a special" train to C01- ling woodfto address his constxtuentsin that `town, and the other 339 50 foraspecial train to New Lowell for the same purpose and both during the month of February. agent at that time. -The receiptedjbill of the Grand.

' The grand juries, or other person or persons performing their duties, should have power to nd a true bill, or order a discharge. on the depositions taken be- forethe magistrate, or other depositions taken at their instance, or that of the crown attorney or crown. counsel, before the same or other magistrates or commis- sioners, and taken either in the presence or absence of the accused. 'I"L- _I_-__ -I__,____:n_ one -I- vaavviiwav VLIVLIVV To prevent any deadlock under the new system from illness, absence or other inability of the grand jurors to act, or under any other circumstances, it should be the duty of the trial judge on being informed by the crown counsel,` or other- wise, that the case of any prisoner,wheth- er sent for trial before or after the open- ing of the court, has not been taken up and disposed of by the grand jury, to himself investigate the case and nd a true bill or order a discharge, or else to appoint some three persons to perform such duties, of whom the crown counsel present might be one. A majority of the three grand jurors should form a quorum, and where two only are present and they differ on any question, the proposed action thereon should be dropped for that meeting; but in no instance should a prisoner be dis- charged by the new grand jury until after the opening of the court at which his case would under the present system be exam- ined by the grand jury.- unless the crown attorney gives his consent. This would allow time to see what evidence could be obtained against T him, other than the evidence before the magistrates, and yet would not prevent the prisoner's discharge at once where the crown attorney has no expectation of being able to prove an in- dictable oence.

I am `not suiciently acquainted" with the criminal machinery of the provinces,other than Ontario, to make any comprehensive suggestion` as to who these oicials should be, but in Ontario and_ in any other of the provinces where county crown attor- neys or other similar cicials exist, I a thin_k.one of the threeshould be selected from; these ,;g6ntlOliI0h. The other two should have no pecuniary or other inter- est in-encouraging the multiplicity of in. dictments, `and should be as free from political` inuences as possible.

I think the'sheri' shouldnot be chosen, as - sheris and crown attorneys have an inter-` est in multiplying and prolonging criminal trials, and with a majority of the grand jury so inte'rested,rightly or wrongly they might be open to suspicion in cases where indictments broke_down; and all possibility of such suspicions arising should be avoided, at least at first while the new system was on trial.

' ' When will Euclrnd learn sense? Its blind adherence to one-sided free trade perpetuates the protective system in the United States. Protection would not, last three years. if Britain met American products with a tariff similar to that which the republic raises against imports from Britain. Protection across the line is tempted by the advantages of reciprocity with Eng- land. It gets a great market without giving a slice of its own in exchange for that favor. So_ long as the American farmers get free-trade prices for every- thing they sell and the manufacturer is protected up to the-roof there will be no revolt against a scal system that has the foolishness of England for its chief sup- port. -'1`elegram. ` ` Inllilh F011!
