The Kingston Whig-Standard from Kingston, Ontario, Canada • 2

from to a 17.75. to a a a THE BRITISH WHIG, MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1882. British Whig. Opifer per Orbem. Dicor." The temporary appointment of graduates of the Royal Military College to instructional posts is the dawn of more popalar era for that institution throughout Canada.

If the College is to be saved it must be by making the interest in it more personal and locally than it has been, and with due patriotic respect to its talented British staff do we say this. A little Canadian leaven in the mass will appeal directly to the sympathy of the country. quality which is undoubtedly needed at the present crisis. The Hon. Mr.

Pardee does not speak as often as the Legislature would like to hear him. But when he does join in a debate he makes himself felt to a purpose. His speech upon the address is exciting the admiration of the country, and making the Hon. Alex. Morris more unhappy every time he thinks of it.

By the -upon the constitutional point which crops up in the debate, by reason of the disallowances, -Sir John Macdonald is met by his mistakes in these matters like other people of less perience and pretence. The Imperial Privy Council has reversed decisions favorable to the position taken by the Premier in matters of legislation, and therefore, the Dominion Parliament will have to take up work relegated to the Local House. The Canadian Pacific Railway cate promise, under favor of the next season, to perform the unparalleled feat of laying continuous line of rails for 500 miles. The early conveniences and rapid settlement this will afford, and the evidence it will give of Canadian enterprise, will help to mitigate some of the resentment the people of Canada feel over the extravagant waste of their, money upon the Syndicate. The assurance that it does not intend to take an interest in the projected lines west of Perth will destroy one of the local illusions, that it was merely biding until a connection was made at Sharbot Lake to make terms for a purchase of the K.

P. Railway. In one sense we rejoice that there does not exist such a design, for the people of Kingston will be better satisfied to have their heavy interest vested in a local company than swallowed up in the general interest of a vast concern. THE NEXT EXHIBITION. One of the best evidences that King.

ston has solid claim upon that rather indefinite article, the next Provincial Fair, is the unanimity with which the Agricultural journals of the West have advocated its claims. There may be no show left after the present Session to excite the envy of any city, but meanwhile Kingston's rights are thus ably sustained by the Rural Canadian: "The opinion seems to be very gene rally entertained that the Provincial Exhibition should go to Kingston next year. It was the only place that sent an invitation, backed up by deputies and guarantees, to the annual meeting of the Association. The rejection of Kingston, which did want the exhibition, in favour of Toronto which did not want it, was at once a mistake and an act of discourtesy. There is perhaps, no spot in the Province where the exhibition is likely to do more good as an agricultural educator than at Kingston, which is a very cogent argument vour of this arrangement.

The question of money-making is a secondary one. The exhibition should be run for usefulness, not for pecuniary protit. This has been its chief recommendation in the past, and must be its main claim to public support in the future. A number of years have elapsed since Kingston had a visit from the exhibition, and the people of that region have paid their quota towards the public grant. It is but fair they should have their turn.

Whether the Association shall hold an exhibition in each and every year is a question that should be laid on the table until Kingston has had it ence A BRAVE DEFENDER. The Daily News has beaten, as usual. a craven's retreat. Lest our readers may imagine that its feeling of disgust 18 genuine we may state that when the News is worsted in an argument it always flies to that resource of an over. grown school boy, blubbering.

Recently we had occasion to tell it that children should not engage in discussion, since the indulgence ends generally in a good cry. Periodically those who unfortunately control the destinies of that paper make vicious rally upon somebody, most generally on the staff of the WHIG, and very generally before they are through they get far more of discussion than they had bargained for. The "coarse and ruffianly" act of putting down in plain Anglo-Saxon our opinion of an editor who traded upon willal falsehood is very tenderly appreciated by the patron of cockfighting, and the hurler of Billingsgate like "Ill-bred." of the lowest grade," -brazen impudence," "shallow-pated and obtrusive puppyism." The gentlemanly editor who indulges in stone throwing of that order, is in an admirable position to lecture upon standards of journalistic respectability, but it would have been more honorable, for all 1 that, 'to have accompanied it with some explanation of how he put Mayor Gaskin in such peculiarly untruthful and unhandsome positions. With that model of honorable warfare for patron saint, the News, may with becom. ing meekness, wear that look of innocency proverbially said to mark the modesty of a bawd at a christening.

Since our contemporary has failed to justify so many of its statements it is useless to argue the main point further. The opinions of a journal convicted of uttering a tissue of falsehoods. under the dictation of a Mayor whose ignorance confessedly was sublime, are Valueless. The Ex- Mayor retires with the credit of mastering the office he fil. led in every detail, financially and otherwise, and the spitefaluess of the Never not baving affected him in the past need not disturb him now.

The if we may again quote, hie has shown in office has been extended to private life. and his family need never feel ashamed of what is said of it. The editor of the News knows what we mean. If we have been personal it is in retaliation, and because the ordinary courtesies are worse than wasted upon it, since they are taken for license to. proceed.

FAITH AND HUMILITY. Plain and Practical Sermon by a de. suit Father in 9t. Mary's Cathedral. In St.

Mary's Cathedral yesterday High Mass was colebrated by the Rev. Father Hogan. The Rev. Father Jones, S. of Montreal, preached.

The reverend speaker first read the epistle for the third Sunday after Epiphany, (Romans x11, 16, 21) and afterwards the gospel (Matthew vi, 1-13) from which he directed the attention of his bearers to the two miracles contained in his text. He said that apart from their admiration of the great miracles of our Lord on earth there were valuable and practical lessons to be drawn from them. There was not ad instant of His life when blessings did not flow upon men. There was nothing more touching than the simplicity of the miracles wrought by Him. A leper came and prostrated himself before our Saviour, and cried out, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean," And Jesus stretched forth His hand, touched him, sayiag, "Be thou made clean." In this was the lesson not only of faith but humility.

The Centurion (in the same text) the same confidence in our Lord. certain extent, even more so, for he said, "Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof; but only say the word and my servant shall be healed." Our Lord immediately answered, "I will come and heal him, and shortly afterwards, say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel." Did not our Lord give these two men INSTANCES OF HIS POWER? The lower better we and prostrate holier ourselves become. before Him the we while on the other band the higher we elevate ourselves the farther and remoter we are from God. Pride is the destruction of man. The only real means of being united with God is through humility and docility to His will.

Our first parents were driven from Paradise by their want of humility and obedience. By obedience to God's will we may become united to Him. The world was saved and redeemed by humility, The greatest act was that performed by God Himself in coming down on earth and taking upon Himself a form like unto us. Our God, who loved the human race, made this great act so that we can come nearer to Him. When He was about to separate from His disciples He gave them His body so that they could be more united to Him.

Humility was nuknown before His coming. God claims onr worship and adoration, and we should serve Him with our hearts and intellects. When Our Lord came down to earth He did not intend that men should believe what came into their minds or what they wished, but that they should believe in Him and be baptized. All those who lower their intellect before Him do not obey His will. We should bow down and adore Him.

It is not a question for them whether this mystery is hard, but WHETHER GOD REVEALED IT So if they desire to be saved they must obey the church with faith and humility making open profession of their faith. That was not lowering their intellect before God. Lucifer refused to bow and God drove him from Paradise. How many have been lost becanse they arrayed themselves against God? God has given the means whereby we may be united to Him, and there is none better than by partaking of his body and blood. We may God, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof, but I know that thon canst make me clean," but by promising God that adoration which he wishes, bowing our intelligence to Him, and practicing faith with all humility, we can a proach Him and take the holy sacrament.

We should lay bare to Him all our wants and He will unite us to Him and raise as up at the last day. The reverend gentleman, like all the members of his illustrious order, i is a practical aud eloquent speaker. The music was plain, but at the offertory and after communion Major Taschereau sang two solos in an admirable manner There was a large congregation present. Destitute and Alone. A sad case of destitution was seen in the police station yesterday.

A young woman, about 26 years of age, with child of some four summers, appeared at the station seeking protection from the inclomency of the weather. She told a sad story, and her countenance betokened great sorrow. Some years ago she was married to a young man in Newboro, who for a long time was a true protector and support. But death stepped in last July and called the husband hence. Since then the widow has been working amongst her friends and neighbors, earning an honest living, but as she was a prospective mother it was necessary for her to seek a haven of refuge, aud on Friday last she packed up her little household goods, and, bidding good bye to Newboro, started for this city.

She reached Seoley's Bay, and there secured shelter until Saturday morning, when she resumed her pilgrimage. All through the dull and stormy day she plodded on, and late at night. wet and weary, reached the station house. She had a severe trip, at times carrying a four years old child as well a bundle of clothing. Mr.

8. ton, when told of the pitiful case, gave the mother and child 8 good breakfast. By the way, the police report that Mr. Thornton never refuses assistance to those who appeal to him under similar circumstances. The woman afterwards found a home for the meantime in the lying in ward of the Kingston General Hospital.

arious Chapter in the Criminal tory el Canada Story (Ottava Free Press.) On Thursday last the Free Press published an account of a petition which had been received by the Department of Justice, and which purported to his be signed by the leading inhabitants of Chicago, asking for the release from the Penitentiary of a man known as James Jones, who was sentenced to a term of imprisonment connection with the cause celebre, known as the 000 robbery. As the money stolen was the property of Mr. F. B. McNamee, Montreal, a Free Press reporter called is him at the Russell to ascertain upon whether he could throw any additional light upon the matter.

Mr. McNamee expressed his willingness to give the reporter any information that lay in his power. A PAGE OF CRIMINAL HISTORY. suppose," he commenced, "you remember the circumstances of the $15,000 robbery The reporter replied that the details of affair, although it made such a sensation at the time, had escaped his memory, and, requested Mr. McNamee to repeat giving an outline of the which he proceeded to do in the case, following words: book- -keeper was proceeding to pay men the Welland Canal and took with him for that purpose some $15,000, which carried in a satchel.

This satchel with its contents was stolen the cars in Bonaventure Station. from, robbery, if I remember rightly, took place on Tuesday, and after a good deal of trouble the five men who committed it were captured in Montreal two days later. I cannot remember the names of four of the men, but one of them was the man who gave his name as Jones, but whose real name is James Carroll, a notorious Chicago robber. No money was found on the other men, but he had on him 92,800 of the stolen money, or just one- of whole amount stolen, making allowance for during the two days that expenses elapsed after the robbery. LEGAL SHARKS.

"Now I happen to know that the other four fifths of the stolen money was in the hands of lawyers whom the rob. bers had consulted and retained betore the robbers was committed. One of the robbers died in gaol, two of them got out on straw bail and were not heard from again, the prosecution against the fourth was abandoned by the Crown owing to the vigorous exertions of their lawyers. The fifth man, named Carral, alias Jones, was convicted and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary." "Have the bar of Montreal never taken any action as body in this matter "No: the bar of Montreal have never taken any action whatever against this unprofessional conduct of some of very its members. The three robbers who escaped punishment are prepared to come back if their liberty is guaranteed them, and prove that they put four fifths of the stolen money in the bands of their lawyers and never received one cent of it back, with the exception of what paid for their food while in gaol and for their railway tickets to take them back to New York." ATTEMPTS TO LIBERATE THE PRISONER.

"What do you think of the petition that has been sent to the Department of Justice in behalf of Jones "There cannot be the slightest doubt that it is a bogus: affair. After Jones was found guilty, and before he was sentenced, bogus depositions as to his respectability and financial standing in Chicago were presented to Judge Dorion, which I have understood had the effect of considerably lightening his sentence. I have not the slightest doubt that the papers now before the Government are also bogus. I think this is the third or fourth attempt that has been made get the prisoner out of the Penitentiary. These moves are all got or in Montreal so as to keep Jones living in hopes of getting his lib.

erty SO that he will not 'down' himthat is the expression used by the robber in his threat towards the lawyerfor having retained possession of the stolen money. The robbers are now prepared to testify against this lawyer, and it is my intention so soon as I can get a little time away from my business to have the matter thoroughly exposed. This lawyer wanted to compromise with me for $10,000, on receipt of which I was to cry quits, but he humbugged both the prisoners and myself and kept the whole thing. This petition is merely intended to put off THE DAY OF RECKONING, but I am determined to push the matter and expose the whole disgraceful affair. The bar of Montreal, for its own credit, should institute a searching investigation, and have the whole matter tho.

roughly sifted." Jones look at all like a man who was likely to be so respectably connected as the petition alleges not at all. He was just the sort of looking man you would take to be accomplice of a gang of thieves. He this a little sharp nosed, sharp eyed man, with light sandy whiskers. I have heard, however, that his wife is a very respectable woman, and that a good deal of sympathy was expressed for her in Chicago. I may state that the Free Press was slightly in error when it stated that Jones is now in the St.

first cent sent de Paul there, but is Penitentiary. now serving He WaS out his time in the Kingston Penitentiary to which place he removed because of a conspiracy to break out that was got up among the prisoners in the former place. While it was hatching the Government got word of it and put a detective among the prisoners who discovered the whole plot and thus frustrated it. Jones was then removed with several other prisoners to Kingston. Charged With Embezzlement.

This afternoon 8 young man named Samuel Freeman was arrested, at the instance of Chas. H. Brown, a specula tor in fowls and grain, charged with the embezzlement of $220. During last October Brown and Freeman became partners in the purchase of produce, which they bought in considerable amounta. Their dealings became intricate.

It is charged by Brown that Freeman received $220 from him at different times that has not been accounted for. Freeman denies the allegation, claiming that he has received no money from Brown, and that all the purchases made by himself were with his own funds. Thus the case stands. The evidence will be heard to morrow. Freeman is a young man, formerly of Portland, and latterly a grain buyer for a Kingston firm, who have placed confidesce in him and have not had reason to withdraw it.

His integrity and hopesty have not before been impeached. Lakes--North westerly to northerly winds, fine, very cold weather with local falls of snow.

An Old Man Shot I Dead at Own Fireside-House Fired by the Assassin.

Shelburne, Jan. Smith, quiet and inoffensive citizen of the township of Amaranth, residing about four miles from here, was foully murdered in his own house last night about six o'- clock. The unfortunate victim was bachelor about or over fifty years of age, and usually lived alone, but it happened when the murder was committed that a nephew named Johnny Smith, about fourteen years of age, was with him. THE BOY'S STORY is that is uncle and himself, after taking supper together, seated themselves by an open fire place, and shortly after he heard a report, either of a gun or pistol, and the old man fell. He looked towards the window from whence the report came and saw a tall man with a dark moustache.

The boy immediately started for the door, which was opposite the window, when the man fired at him, the ball passing through the top of his capHe ran for dear life towards a neighbour's house, which is quite a distance. After he had run a little way he looked back and saw THE HOUSE ON FIRE. He alarmed the neighbours as soon as possible, and returned with them to the burning building. They found the old man at the door dead, and one leg burned off below the knee. The old man was reputed to have been quite wealthy, and to have kept a large sum hidden about the house, but it is not known whether he had any at this time or not.

There is NO CLUE TO THE ASSASSIN. except what can be gleaned from the boy's story. The greatest excitement prevails, as the old man was universally respected by all who knew him. Thomas Notre, M.D., Coroner, will hold an inquest to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock. J.
