The American Methodist Mission gave Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Wilcox a surprise reception on Saturday evening last, the occasion being the fifteenth Anniversary of their wedding. Rev. Mr. Caldwell presented the congratulations of the assembled company and in their name gave a very beautiful parlour lamp to Mrs, Wilcox. Later in the evening Consul Cracey being called on, made appropriate remarks, in the course of which be stated, that the name of Wilcox would hereafter have a special significance to Amer icans as it was at the house of Mr. Ansley' Wilcox of Buffalo, N. Y. K, a first cousin of our Dr. Wilcox, that Mr. Roosevelt was sworn in as President and where he held his first cabinet meeting, and which thus became the actual seatbility for the attack on President McKinley, of the government for two or three days..

To-day the jour nalism or the oratory which may have inspired Leon Czolgosz to his deed is the most tear- ful, sympathetic, and grief-stricken journalism or amatory in America. It editorialises "inter- views "and moraliees on the lovableness of the man whom it lately and long and habitually portrayed as a monster, a' despot, and a coward It is very scared, very sorry-or very politic, or Let us hope it is would like to seem to be so. really sorry.

2. The Governor regrets that he is compelled to reply to newspaper criticism of an administra tion for which he is responsible, but it appears to him to be imperative that, in the interests of the country 10, which you have been so good

as to devote two and a half columns of one issue of your paper, he should state distinctly and positively that there are in the letters which you publish so many absolute.falsehoods that it is alike unfair to the Country and to your readers and discreditable to yourself that they should be disseminated.

3. His Excellency does not wish to offer any advice to you as to the management of yous paper, but I una'to point out that there are Jabuan several persons who would no doub give you true information upon subjects of in

votes is not the chief end of journalism or of oratory, when it leads one to defamation as a delight, to vilification as an industry, and to printed, pictorial, or platform blackguardism as a trade.

'To what extent licence of speech, and un- censored press, and increasingly frequent and insistent appeals to class prejudice in this country have contributed to the creation in Are now showing a large and varied assortment of materials suitable for

recent years of such unnatural villains as the assailant of President McKinley cannot, of course, be definitely measured. It is unques tionable, however, that a widespread effort to represent men in authority. as owing their positions.to the use of money, as standing only for the moneyed classes, and as the would-be, if not the actual, oppressors of the masses, is directly responsible for those unwholesome and dangerous sentiments the fostering of which induces in men and women. an uncontrollable desire to murder. Is it to be wondered at, then, that this vicious seed bas borne fruit that here and there it has ripened into a murderer who somehow fancies that he is a public benefactor? Can men go on for ever preaching that our government is essentially. bad, and painting-our-governing officials-as- oppressors, without a belief in their misrepre sentations taking firm root somewhere? The wonder is that the evil consequences of this pernicious propaganda have not manifested themselves more frequently, and more disastr ously.

up his appointment. It was very naturallying the president as a murderer," a "tyrant," referred by Rajah Brooke to the Colonial 'Office and some correspondence ensued be tween that Department and the Chartered Company, As Sonu as that correspon- dence was referred to the Governor, His Excellency addressed a letter to the Govern ment of Sarawak for which he received the warm thanks of that Government and the con-- clusion of the matter was eminently satisfactory. It is unnecessary to add that the twenty seven lines of close print in your own correspondent's letter, which describe the action of the Colonial Office and the orders issued by that Departinent to the Chartered Company, are entirely untrue from beginning to end.

5. The paragraphs relating to "Unrest" in Borneo are not without foundation, but they are written by some one who has no know- ledge of the real facts and who delights in exaggeration. As the Governor causes all news as to disquiet amongst the natives, of whom very few are in rebellion, to be published freely and without censorship in the North Borneo Herald, I am to suggest that you abould in justice to your readers and to the Country peruse that publication whenever your own correspondent, favours you with his accounts of troubles in the interior.

It seems to us that the lesson for the Ameri- can people to learn from this assault upon the President of the United States is the lesson of conservatism. If conditions are bad, let us say so and let us all go to work in earnest to reform them. But in order to accomplish this let us be careful not to do harm by making it appear that conditions are worse than they. BATTERIES, are. The people rule in this country, and there is no danger to the republic and our institutions so long as the people believe in them and stand up for them. One of our southern contem- poraries says that in its opinion Mr. McKinley has done more injury to the cause and good name of the republic than any other of the men who preceded him in the presidential office. For our part we believe that far more injury has been done by the exaggerated talk in which stump speakers and yellow journals have indu'ged.

CHICAGO POST.

Cartoons are appearing daily in some news. papers in this country that, as Delegate Farrell, of the New York Central Labour Union says, "are calculated to inspire hatred and contempt for this government." e. Allen McLane Hamilton, one of the most noted experts on mental disorders in American, is of opinion- that the attempt on President McKinley's life was largely due to the deplorable influence of certain sensational papers that have worked upon such minds as that of Crolgour." contempt is disloyal, unpatrictic, and mischiev ous in the extreme.
