both" Thomas and Robert McGreevy.
This is very strong evidence,, against
the accused and how they are to refute
it is difficult to say.: Unless Sir Hector
Langevin can show that he'did not
receive the inoney which Mr. Murphy
says was paid bin, and that he had no
share in theboodling which it is
'alleged, the McGreevys were so deeply
involved in, he will go out of office
with a very bad record . and cannot
very Nvell maintain himself inapublic
life: He has so far made no answer
of any kind to the charges, and vv hat
be has to say is awaited with interest.
It is a most unsavory affair; and ic is
:to be regretted that public men should
be so avaricious as to place themselves
in such 7' a position. The Rykert

ut this case reveals men conspiring
to rob the. people by crooked ' work
with: contractors for public works.
Such business could not be . carried ori
• undetected. There 'was .sure to cone
a time when the contractors. would ask
more, and those who were assisting
them would look for greater returns
on their part, surely leading to 'dis-
agreement and a' revealing of tht-t
swindle.. In fact that :is what dila,
occur, and both Sir Hector Lant;evin
and the"McGreevys will have to bear
• the responsibility.

T'he,death of the Rev. Dr. Rately Waddell,
formerly Freer church minister in Girvan,.
reca'ls the celebrated'spt)ech delivered by him
as chairman of the meeting in the • Cottage at
Alloway in celebration of the Burns Centenary,
The marvellous eloquence of the oratiou waa
recognized all over the country, and i[r.
Waddell at once- found himself famous, 'For
the , sake of those of Our readers who have
never read the speech, and others who would
desire to renew their acquaintance with'it or,
preserve it in print,, we produce it eta e.cte,asu.
• _VIr.:Waddell-said :—In other •circumstances
some apology would have been required for
the brevity with which the preceding toasts of
this evening have been proposed ; but not a
wa3 ear gentleman, I am sure, in her :via jesty'3
set•xiee, not a Lori; n it an earl, nor at, prince, of
whatsoev degree in the empire, but will
e:.ruse that brevity : her Majesty herself, if
she were present, would un,lei'staud it, far she
is too much a woman, and too much a Queen,
out to know that the royalty of geniti�i canuot
be kept too lbug waiting. The trolly is gentle -
h en, that in the nompany and presence of men

pr, v�idm ,._sovers:ig ty.. of t11e.. httnTalr soul.
Yet for the very recognition of that .,overeign-
ty•bodies themselves are required.. 'It is now
one hundred years ago since the wife of a
peasant, on this very spot, was made' haETpy in
the • birth of a son, blessed beyond many a
mother in Israel., triumphed at the behest of
