The detriment in the use of oil, however, has been the fact that it is obnoxious to pedes- triaps.

After an explanation from the manager of the Montreal Traps- portation company' the Whig did think he was possibly somewhat the victim of a mishap but it thinks so no long- er. He was not frank in his expla- nations. He did not tell that he had authorized one of the yachtsmen to' go ahead and build but "keep quiet." The local manager of the K. & P. railway gave a still more generous authority to go on. Yet the M. T. company urged the railway company to remove a boat house erected on the same lease--well, because John Twed- dell was an active politician. To de- fend 'a citizen under such gross in- justice is net a misadventure--it is a duty and a privilege. i But the Whig has again sinned in that it'has expressed the mind of not Kingston alone but of the people of a large part of the province upon the wide-open' bars as a sequel to politi- cal favor and linked forces. It is no disgrace to sin in the cause of law, order and reasonable sobriety. A great disgrace to the province and to humanity is being lessened, and that, at least, is not an outrage upon the conscience. Can this be said of the defence df the great wrong by fhe tory organ? The journal that passes by the unparalleled exposures of the liquor detectives is recreant. And after all what precipitated the exposure but the differences between the liquor deal- ers' best friend, the license inspector, and a clergyman ? The publicity giv- en attracted the whiskey detectives. If silence is desired, in the interest of a lawless community, the preliminary would seem to be better diséipline in the tory machinery. To be called a knocker in that direction, or that of protection of an ill-used citizen, will be lightly felt. Jut ever say that a paper or a man is that most unloved of all characters--a traitor, or as one paper put it, one of three named apostate Canadians. do not EDITORIAL NOTES.

The recent somewhgt startling (to hotel men), disclosure made by the summoning 'of a large number of Ham: ilton license holders, that Whitney's brigade -of, whiskey spies were again at work throughout the province, raises the question of, the moral effect of such methods of enforcing the\aw, and of the real value of the regular license inspectors appointed and paid by the government. Thousands of law- abiding citizens who stand faynly for a proper enforcement of the license law have no sympathy with the sys- tem of government 5 hired to tempt to the violation of the law and to "profit thereby. They do not see the necessity for resort to such means. A few days it was announced that another salaried inspector of ho- tels was to be appointed to do part of the work which the present ingpec- tors are paid to do. That should leave tham still more tune to see to the lguor law's enforcement. The li- law is bat of "the general laws of the province, and every po- licaman, detective and constable is as much obligated to that law's enforce- ment as to any other statute. In stich circumstances; then, it -neces- sary, isiit prudent, to call in the ser- vices of professional whiskey inform- ers ! Is the general efiect.of doing so elavating to the community ? But it is not to be denied that there has been too muah disregand of the limitations prescribed by the liqpor license act!

A Stolen Necklace Recovered By Ruse¥" Berlin, Aug. 15.--After being hidden for more than five months beneath the ledge of a window. in her own house--a few feet above the pavement, where any pedestrian might have tak- en it--the Countess von Wartenslebén's famous $65,000 necklace of pearls, which had been missing since Feb- ruary 13th, and which has been the object of a world-wide search, was re- covered in the early hours of yester- day morning. | The hiding place was revealed as the result of a clever trap laid for the housemaid, who is aecused of hav- stolen and secreted the jewels. The alleged thief is 'a young married woman named Steger, formerly the countess' maid, who was arrested im- mediately after the pearls were missed but was later released. She has been re-arrested and says that she had not intended to steal the pearls, but mere- lv to distress the countess bv hiding them as an act of revenge for ill treatment. The ruse which finally led to the re- covery of the pearls was planned by the countess' lawyer, in connection with a suit she instituted against a local periodical for insinuating that she knew more of thé identity of thé thief than she wad willing to confess. Steger, the mid had remained under the surveillance of a private detective agency after her release from jail, and the countess' lawyer simmoned her to his office to inform* Her that he pro- posed to put her dir the witness box at the libel trial to wwear that she did not know who the thief was. Steger was completely unnerved + by this proposal, and ashserving her con- fusion, the lawyer suddeniv confronted her with an offer of $2500 "dnd no questions asked," if 'she wonld assist in the recovery of the jewels. She did not immediately assent, but the lawyer commissioned the detective agency to shadow her more closelv than ever. A woman detective rented a room in Steger's boarding house and contrived tos become her intimate companion. Another detective. a man, was introduced and had little diffi- enlty in winning Stewer's confidence * affection FingHy, she imparted her great secret to him; and arranged to escort him to the Wartensleben ypa- lace a little after' midnight on Satur- dav. He stood on guard at the corner while Steger. climbed nimbly up the wall and deftly pried oven the lead covering of a window ledge. She lifted out the pearls. which were wrapped in a hall of cotton, and triumphantly handed them to her sweetheart. who was to take them. to the conntess' 5 ar- ing : into custody.
