McKim and Balfour for luring into the
toils the "brawling brood of bribers

said gentlemen have been guilty of a

ansate contention on the part of a jour-
nal wnicb sent up • member of its staff
to ferret nut a seller of "queer" named
"W. A. Garland' who was operating in
the village 14 Blyth. If Messrs.
McKim and Balfour committed an un-
pardonable sin iu obtaining testimony
sufficient to convict • gang of scoundrels
who had nude infamous overtures to
them to sell their honor, what is to be
thought of the action of the Spectator in
sending up a meaner of its staff to lie to

Blake employ all the resources ..f his

day is not far distant when the repre-
