in the same issue of The Weekly Witness
which contained my letter and from which
I make the following extract : " But al-
though they Ii.e., the eaten of the Liberal
party) cannot see it, every one outside of
their party, both here and in the Mother
Country, sees clearly that if their policy be
carried out it will inevitably lead to the
dismemberment of the Empire." But why
multiply individual instances, however pro-
minent' There are hundreds of Liberals
who are °poole.l to this treasure but who
do not like to speak out lest they injure
their party or bringh or blame up-
on themselves, and then raises the whole
gnastion of how far are honorable men
bound by their party allegiance. 1 am
quite ready to admit that as long es we have

It is a oomtWL cause of complaint among

their leaders. This, I think, may be ad-
mitted, but instead of being • reproach 1

First, by the death of their great leader,
Sir John A. Macdonald. This they them-
selves will admit. but this is their mufor-
tote, sot their fault.
Second, by the complete failure of their
polity of protection, as proved by the late
cease. returns. It might be interesting and
perhaps instructive to our young men who
cannot recollect the circumatanees to recall
the famous resolution of Sir John A. Mac-
donald which has Since formed the platform
of the Conservative party. it was moved

In dealing with public matters, as in
dealing with private nutters, the first erre
of every honest urn is to discover the right
-the next to do it. When principle knacks
for admission, expediency mast be shown
the door. in co4auLerwgthe charges against
Sir Hector (Angevin no ma, pretends that
the public interest did not suffer. But the
defenoe put forward for the Minister is that
he was necessrrily dependent upon his sub-
ordinates, that these deceived him, and led
him into action which he would not have
taken hail his subordinate officials been
honest and the informatiou laid before him
been trustworthy. Every possible allow•
MCC roust be made on that account. In this
world, no man stands alone. Each depends
to a greeter or ler extent upon his fellow.,
and when a men ern he does su not only
because of his own infirmity or vice, but
partly became of the infirmities and vices
of those by whom he is surrounded. It is
unfortunate that Sir Hector r (Angevin was
surrounded by men whose intirmltie• or
vices were marked and misleading : it is un-
fortunate that other then had been removed
at the request of swindling contractors to
make room for the rogues who lel Sir
Hector into such blind paths and feted pit -
Rut,. as has been pointed out, the Min-
ister Is the only man to whom the public
CAD look. He is the responsible agent : he
must be hell accountable for the workings
of his department. 1t is agreed on all
hands that Larkin, ('onnolly k Co. co.spir-
ed to defraud the Government, and suc-
ceeded. The fatal fact, so far as Sir Hec-
tor is concerned, is that whenever the con-
spirators devised • plan to rob the treasury
the Minister was invariably respondent.
1f it was desired to get rid of an engineer
whom the contractors did not like, the en-
gineer was dismissed. If more mosey was to
be made by • change in the work than by
adhering to the original contract. the
change was mala With painful and fatal
frequency the plans of public works have
bees, changes! after the contracte were lel :
with paiutul and fatal certainty the con-
tractors have benefited and the people have
suffered by the change. If the unfortunate
results were wholly due to the Minister's
trust in subordinates who .deceived him, he
had less knowlolge of the details connected
with hia department than he has been
credited with possessing. If such evente
could continue year after near in his de-
partment without suspicion of wrong, then
he is the most simple-minded and gullible
innocent who ever presided over a great
department.
While the first consideration with every
honest man will be that strict justice shall
be done under these panful circumetancea,
regardless of consequences, the earnest Con-
servative is permitted to point out that the
path of duty 1. the path which leads to
safety. A majority d the Canadian people
have trusted the Conservative party and
the Conservative leder with governmental
control because they believe the Conserva-
tive policy to be that which will best pro.
mote the public interest, and became they
believe the Conservative Ministers will
honestly administer the great trust confi-
ded to their hands. If the confidence be
weakened -if any considerable nurhar of
('ooeervatives come to think that their led•
ere are capable of paltering with dishonesty
or coudoaing crime -then the fate of the
party will be staled. No self-respecting
man will say that the right curse should be
taken bemuse it is the sate course ; but we
may justly point out that in the present
emergency safety and equity run side by
side --honor and worldly patience walk
hand in hand. The duty of Parliament is to
condemn the wrong and to punish the
wrongdoer -the wrong -doer who is in high
station as well as him who is in low station
-to prove to the world that theAdministrr-
tion as such will give no countenance to
dishonesty, but will jeslouirly guard the
rights of the people the honor of the
.0untry.

got the order was furnished with the tines
of the treasurerw.d the Conservative assoc-
iations at Montre•I and Toronto, by Mr.
Chaplosui agent, and the reason for giving
the favored New York firm the order at the
Magnificent pries is at once apparent.
These are the people who were using thou-
sands of dollars of the New York pressmen's
money in corrupting the electors, who had
the gall to charge the Grits with using
American gold' That cry was heard in
Kent and Bothwell during the last cam-

Vague promises to punish small offenders
are not going to sstufy this country's hun-
ger for the degra.Ltioo of really great sin-
ner. Sir Hector LAngevin exiled from Parlia-
ment would be niore Yalueble to this coun-
try than the spectacle of a score of
Murphys 31cl.reevys and ('onnolly0
in striped suits. So far as Sir Hector
Langevin i. concerned the majority
report appears to be inspired by the
charity that believeth all things hopeth all
things, endureth all things. Charity is per-
haps the wrong word. (roolulity has made
illustrious victims of Sir John Thompson,
Hon. Michael Adams and Mr. Girouard.
The credulity that must have been severe-
ly strained by • child -like faith in Sir Hec-
tor leaves the majority when it comes to
deal with Murphy, Robert McGreevy and
Perky and the small fry. The gentlemen
greet Sir Hector, whom they dare not of-
fend, with the kiss of unshaken confidence,
but the rascals, small enough to be punish-
ed, are careered with the club of condem-
nation. And this report ---to the knight a gen-
Ile zephyr - to his imitators a blizzard -is
what Carman asked to aooept as justice. -

A Winnipeg dispatch says : Mr. Henry
W. Marling, ex -president of the Toronto
Board of Trade and ex•bank president, who
is visiting here, talked pretty plainly in re•
i to annexation to Tb. Tribune reporter.
Following u an extract from the interview :
" But what about our suprlov-al citizens
who at any coat want to retain their citi-
zenship and will consent to nothing likely
to impair British connection' I do not
wish to discredit or minimize the importance
of sentiment in the slightest where it is
sincere and honestly felt, sad Mr. Darling.
" The Englishman, i take it, is loyal to
England. He holds tenaciously to free
trade because it is the beat policy for Eng-
land. To Camaro. he offers nothing he
does not with alnal liberty offer Hottentots
and Russians. I understand it to be the
truest form of loyalty that adopts thhe pre-
cedent
ascedent and seeks out that which is beat for
Canada. To the mother country we owe
everything, and we shall always glory in
her history, her traditions, her service to
civilization, and her mighty power. But if
it is a condition that i am to maintain a
policy that hes doubled my share of the
public debt in ten years, that is depr.satng
every industry not directly eerie by the
enferosti contributions from my fernier,
that is compelling my children and the
children of my neighbor to seek more
favorable conditions for improving their
circumstances across the border, and that is
