And. le' the angel of the Lord came u1/

round alw,ut then . and they were sore

For unto you is born this day iu the city
of Wive!) a Saviour which n cosier the
Lord.
And this shall be a %Igo unto you Ve

clothes, lying in a monger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host praising
(Ion, and saying,
"• (IMry to (.o1 In the highest. and on
earth peace, good will toward men."
And it cane to pass, as the angels were
gone away from them into heaven. the
shepherds said one to another, Le_ us now
go even unto Bethlehem. and see this thing
which is come to pale, which the Lord has
made known unto no.
And they came with home, and found
Mast and Joesen and the babe lying ,n a

And when they had seen it, they mail.

And all they that heard ,t wondered at

W ELLE, .[Isar iRR ft . i .. e
'1'h•• editor of The Star did a lot of
talking through his hat last week in
the matter of the West Huron tote
tion eta•. To hear him rust the
puIlie would :iltnost believe that
(11r. CAMERON had run a moot
Ialariningly corrupt election. and ought
to have leen disqualified.
For the sake .1 argument let us
admit that the statements of The Star
in its last issue were true, and where
will the editor of that vera..ious jour-
nal find himself! it is a well known
fat that Mr. MIT(•HgLL the editor of
The }tar, was also the petitioner in
the West Huron case. As petitioner
he hal the say in the A _ _ or
rejection of the terms upon which Mr.
('+tor. tox agreed to resign. If there
ens the ghost of a chance of disquali-
fying Mr. ('.yreito' by bringing home
personal .Marge+ it was the duty of
the petitioner to fight the battle to
the bitter end, and thereby get rid of
the Man for West Huron for at (east
seven long years.
That was what petitioner Miretir.LL
should have done, but what did he do
He simply acceded to the .
that Mr. CA.EROX ehosld resign, and
left the (vast clear for that gentleman
to make another ten -strike on the,
restrictionist party at the h .
Then the petitioner took upon him-
self his other part of editor and hied
him to his Went street office to bespat
ter Mr. CAMERON with false accnsa- I
tions that by his previous action he
tacitly admitted he could not prove.
If petitioner MITCI.LL had evi-
dence to disqualify Mr. Caysaon by
bringing home personal charges, he
was disloyal to his party in not preen-
ing them, and the legs silly talk he -
uses in his net'wapaper the better he
will stand with his own party - many •
d whom look upon his withdrawal
from the case and his subsequent -
braggart talk with a suspicion that a
•olocout" lies in between, and the
noise he now makes u nerdy to draw a
herring across the must.
