The Globe has a very good caption to its leading editorial of Saturday : "Blame the Mau, not the Institu- tions." lint the Gluge has nut been doing that. For many years it has blamed both the man and the iusti- tutiuns. It has perseveringly binln- • ed $irJohu for sins of olniision, anti COM 111isS1oIl and 1'or actions which would not cotno under either sinful catoguly. At the satno time it Ira's denounced Canadian institutions which it ellnrged with polutitting many alleged but unfounded "its of naladutinisteati611 ou the part of Sir Johu and the Government of which he' is the Premier and the party of which ho is the honored chief, There has not been a decision given by our higher courts in which the G./de; had a-pereonal or !,arty interest but it has clpnounced both tho iustitutions which permitted tiro appointment of tho jutiges 'who pre- sided as %yell the judges themselves. Tho institutions• which permitted such honored names as the late Chic•!' Justice Hon. Matthew Crooks Cameron and the recently retired Chief.Justico Hon. Aden Wilson, to give their splendid tektite for the adornment of our judiciary and for maiutaiuing the world-wide sterling per,-enli-neneo of Canadian .jurispru- dence, have boon deuounced as the very fouutaiu of corruption. So much has tho Gtobtt reticle into the habit of denouncing our institartlouer, that the leading English paper of Quebec, the lluntretal Ifei•a1a1, has had, sr"veral times of hate, to rcquo.t the ✓;lY,h:e to remember that thele fs a ala..s of people in Can:111 of English birth ur descent :tett of B1••i- tisb i'ee•iiugs• who are' allied with the' Reform party, but ,who eninot hold • with it it their leading organ is to centime. tn'ctorine and hammering .^+t•ay at everythiiieg• Brifis1iw-Jitttlrer Colonist ur nnpertai. l:Nee_.was the time \viten the G/#ibr teas not afflict- ed %villi this dementia.
