by falsely accusing Archbishop, Lynch of en-
deavoring to emasculate the °omelet.% settcol

of encouraging inimigration 'Should be left ex.
elusively to the Canadian gacifio Railway and
its large staff of agents now working in Europe.
Its prohibition talk is in the name direction.
It hopes to win the temperance party to sup-

false colors, and so weaken the Liberal ranks.

calculating that a gain of the Local Govern.
