Mayor Macdonald of Toronto, at the desire of a large number of the citizens, has written a letter to the Hon. David Mills, Minister of J ustiCe, asking that the. execution of Wil- liams, the murderer of Yarcoe, a Toronto Grocer, be postponed from Friday next (Good Friday) to some more appropriate day. The Mayor and his supportelsxoertainly show a proper consideration for consistency under the circumstances. Where is our Christianity seen if on a. day set :ayart by all our Christian churches Such a compilation of comment and criticism would make exceedinglv in- iteresting reading. HEre is a brief clipping from the Catholic Register, “for example, which should be perused by everybody regardless of personal 1predelections. “ It would sceem” says the writer “as if Sir Wilfrid *had reserved all his latent force for 3the supreme moment which Mr. €Bourassa’s amendment led to, and 3’6he manner in which he discharged *the double duty of defending his iGoVernment’sCourse of action and of ‘winning the House to practical un- ‘animity, is the most powerful and teloquent eulogium that could have ibeen pronounced upon his patriotic and convincing address. The Pram- sier of Canada has passed through a ttrying time ; much has been said and writtenthat for the dignity of the 'country had better never have been published. The people whom he loves, and of whom he is the fore most representative, had been tra- -'dueed and goaded to the verge of rupture; he himself‘had been the butt of euery so-called loyalist who thought his pen sharp enough to in- dite a venemous squib on the ragged lines of disloyalty. Like the large loyal-hearted man that he is, and as now he is universally admitted to be, he bore all with fortitude and manly forbearance; he bided his time and when it came, it did not find him wanting.” ed. The principal result of the de- bate so far has been to draw the lines of demarcation very clearly between the trade policies and the two politicâ€" al parties. The Government’s policy is clearly defined as :â€"a revenue tariff secured in part by a substantial preferential reduction upon British imports, whereby its promises of re- duced taxation are fully redeemed and inter~imperial trade encouraged and . developed. The Opposition policy is to give no concession to Great Britain unless an equal conces- sion is made to Canada in return. This has been very properly called “The Pound of Flesh Policy." It is an exemplification of the principle enunciated twenty years ago, “ If British connection is imperilled by the trade policy known as the N. P.; so much the worse for British connecâ€" tion.” ‘The debate upon the budget has ’made considerable progress in the House of Commons during the past. week, and seVeral important speech: es on each side have been contribut- A good-sized volume might be compiled of the newspaper and plat- form comments that have been made throughout the civilized world, upon that historical speech by Sir Wilfrid Laurier upon the Bourassa resolution some three weeks ago. It is no ex- aggeration to state that not for many years has any statesman in the em- pire created such an impression as was produced by that-one half hour effort. leCHMOND HILL.

HATEPAYI- Richmnnd Hill, April 11, 191)“. Sumâ€"I was sorry to observe from his letter in your last. issue that Reeve Savage felt hurt because I asked the Week before if :my action had heen taken by the. council in referencelo Mr. Panel-Son‘s proposition to open :L shoe factory in Rinlnnond Hill, on certain conditions. The offer made by Mr. Patterson was pretty well under- stood by our citizens, lmt I was anx- ious to know what reply had been s‘I-nt from this village. Our Worthy reeve says he sent a. reply, hut insteml of ghing it he printed Mr. Patterson’s letter. As a ratepayer l thLught, nod think still. that we should know what reply was sent from the village. No doubt Mr. Savage would keep a copy of the letter sent, and if he will pnh- lish it, the citizens will know all about it. Possibly he will do this after consideration. He says he (lid not consider my letter worthy of an answer because. I did not Sign my name, but he afterwards changed his mind. Surely it, is not a crime to ask infornmtion on any question relating to_the alfaixs of the village. The reeve says he thinks I am the man who wanted to “ hmms the village- for $6,000 ” last year.
