We 'What wonld the eity newspapers do if it were not for the country weeklies? At this season of the year every country oflice is deluged with requests for reading notices, free locals, or offers of special clubbing rates to boom some city publication that desires to extend its circulation, aud often findd the country weekly willing to give space and time without price as a sort of fraternal benevolence. There are one or two notable exceptions to this importunate class of periodicals, tlio most noteworthy of which is The Farmers' Bun, which pays for ita advertising, and recognizes the injus- tice of a.skiug for free advertising in the country press. There appears to be a mistukcu idea prevalent with metropolitan newspapers that it is iu .some way of financial advantage to the local paper to be allowed a clubbiug rate with the city periodical, but such is not the case. Iu fact, it is a loss of time^v«t^ -distinct nuisance to the .>C5Tiutiy editor, aud is only done by him to oblige his own subscribers. When several hundred subscriptions for other papers have to bo handled the dram on time amounts to a hard- ship, and several newspaper mbu of our acquaintance have seriously con- sidered cutting out all clubbing ofiTers. We have not yet come to that decision but our space will have Iu be paid for when other publications wish to boom their circulation through this medium. ThecaseofBlythc, who killed his wife after a drunken carousal, is up for discussion, and a variety of opinion is being advanced. A new trial has been granted aud the result will doubtless be imprisonmcut for life instead of hanging, to which ho had been sentenced. 1 his will meet with the approbation of very many. Our Uws were not made to satisfy a re- vengeful spirit. Murder, which carries capital punishment as a penalty, is premeditated killing. Murder that is done in the heat of anger is called manslaughter, and the penalty is life imprisonment, Iu Blythu's case it was not shown that he premeditated killing his wife, therefore something less than the extreme penalty would satisfy the law. And after all, life imprison- ment may be worse than hanging. There is little choice between the two. At any rate, those who have been shouting for Blytho's hanging aro really asking for more than the law itself demands. It is all very well to say that a brutal crime of this nature should be punished by hanging, but does not a certain modicum of guilt attach altio to those who perpetuate the liceuso system â€" a system that produces such men as Blythe? Aud where should our punishment come in and to what degree is the system le- spousible ? These are questions that would have to be answered before v.e ^^fer to James Brown, who has been would feel like shouting "hang him" postmaster at Melanethon since the year or hang any other man in a like 1 1854.

The attitude of Canada long has been that she cliiims all the land lying to the north, and tho indt fatigfiblo tind expensive Captain Beruior has found timo during tho con- sumption of the stores, for which the steamer "Arctic" is famous, to hoist the Can.'tdian tiag on sundry northern islands. Commander Poaiy's claim thus is viewed with a goo<l deal of interest here, and the Cabinet has been discassing the matter. As often happens, when tho Cabinet discusses matters outside of immediate party politic^, it has boon stirred up from â- Great Britain. A Con.sorvat ive member of tho Biitish House of Commons, the Canadian-bom Sir Gilliert Parker, asked a question on the subject. The Colonial office cabled to know what the Canadian governmont liad to say on tho subject, and tho Canadian govornment forthwith began to consider. We are given to understand that it's answer was a reaaser- tion of the Canadian claim to][all land between tho northern shore of the contin- ent and the north pole. It also is given out that the circumstance that Comman- der Peary says that the polar regions are occupied by a deep ocean relieves the situation, national ownership, of^course, boiug concerned with land surface. TcM- years ago the matter would have been merely of .-icademic importance, the polar regions not being susceptible of exploitation by tho means of tnivel and tninsportjktion then known to mankind. But perhaps the most extraordinary feature of the alleged double discovery of tlie pole is that the event has corao just as the older methods of exploration are about to become oKsolete. We are on the threshold of the conquest of the air. Wo can, with j>erfect sobriety, expect ten years from now to see the air- ship and the aeroplane so improved as to make a visit to the pole a matter of ease and the clo.se explorsition of the whole region merely a matter of interest and energy. The Klondike gold ' fields re- mind us of the riches which may lie in the inhospitable north. It already is known that deposits of coal exist under the Arctic ice; so that while it would be absurd to count upon the extraction of riches from tho very far north, it would l)e extraoi-dinarily foolish to assume that the district has no value. The matter is one for an energetic aaaortiou of tho Canadian claim to all tho northern regions. Viewed in this light tho stupid- ity and extravagance of tho "Arctic" expedition, instead of being merely a squandering of money l)ecoines a misman- agement of serious public Ixisinoss. Canada should take up the work 'f ex- ploring, administering and explo-i: n{ the land in tho Arctic ocean witli utmost vigour. J. andW. BOYD mercijants Fksbenon Ontario .! MILLINERY MlsS E. P.
