Editor News Record.
Dear Sir,—The mendacity of the
leading Grit sheets, echoed by the
NewTErn, einbraceg so foany suljects ~
that it hhdiffiouR to select from them
for priority ftf refutation. We have
lately had the assertion that the
rebellion in the Northwest was of
Conservative origin. That Riel,
Jacksons, Dumont, Lepine, Dumais,
Isbester and all the leading men en»
gaged were Conservatives, instigated
thereto by Sir John Macdonald and
his supporters, -and tlm Bra but two
or three issues back gave us another
letter fiotu its correspondent in the
Turtle Mountain district intimating
that another rebellion was imminent,
that tfie loya/ Grits there were pre
paring to “go behind their Win
chesters’’to crush it, and that “the
man at Ottawa’ (.meaning Sir John)
“ought to be shot/
It is only’ those who adopt the
Globe as their political Bible and the
Era and like afreets,' as jts leaflets,
who could swallow such absurdities,
and even amqngst spofr it is faljirig
so harmlessly as to he only laughed
at,-consequently another.cfy must be
raised, and the Era now assures its
readers that financial' ruin' is before
us under our enormous taxation.,
and it proceeds to give figures which,
standing alone it contends to present
a .sad picture of Canadian ruin and
decay. - . ,
Firstly he tells us that at the date of
confederation in 1867 the gross debt
fol Canada, was $93,046,051, which had
increased to $ .58,711,088, in * Muy
1885. - ‘ .
Sm> illy, that in 1868 the expend
it li re was f 13,486,092 and is no w'
estimated at $11,107,706 io July 18,84.
’Plurdlif, that ihe.taxation ol the
people .has increased forin $11,700,-
66,1 in 1868 io”;j;2A)483,199 in 1*84. ■
Assuming, these figures to be cor
rect, let us see how much of this debt
has‘arisen from the necessnrv expan
sion ol the county under confedera
tion, LhexonauimtLQiiotjtuliUc works,
.remunerative or otherwise, how much
has Ir-en caused by:, (.lie.... political1
Jmingling al.oiir-rillej-s and haw;tnuch
are how, likely to lie heieaiter,
profitable investments' conducive to
the fotuifeprospeTity of the country.
i he ‘igtires given by the Em slow,
that when Sir..‘J‘»bn went out of o .;ce
in 1874, and was succeeded bv Hie
Grits under -MaekeifziP,. Blake, and
Cartwright, the debt oi'Canada had
taxation on the people; and such is
the rapid progress of the country
that the poor man’s saving bank, the
Post Office Saving Bank the deposits
in wtjich in 1878 amounted oWly to
$2,754,484, unioniited in 1884 to
• 13,245’, >52, exclusive of the Govern
menu Savings Banks which amount
to sixteen millions, the Loan Societies
hold another sixteen millions of in
crease since Confederation; and the
deposits in public Banka,added would
swel I the Bavings oI the people to ano
hundredand sixty millions since
Cori federation. e
This is’ tbe MRuin and Decay” which
the Grits say the Conservative policy
is bringing, on the country, I hope
it may continue to progress in the
Baine ratio, /rhe. Grits may. think it
vuinous ’ t»ut the great money bar-*
ometer of the world—the London
money market, the lending public
hold otherwise. When that heaven-
born financier Cartwriuht went there
as a borrower for’the Dominion dur
ing urit rule he could not'realize
more than about 79cts lor every $10 t,
whilst Sir Leonard Tilley’a late loan
of five millions sterling was taken at
a premium,fetching nearly 102, and
five times the amount asked was bi<L
for, and this it? the face of the Cart
wright Ioan bearing 5 per cent, and,
. the Tilley 3£.
I must close my remark's for the
present here hut .will return to the
subject another time, and on other
points which the tlra falsifies also.
Iam yours,
An Orangem an of 1830.

there are a large number of wefr-in

some vague and dim corner of their

thunderbolts. They have not ,yet

Let us.frrgin, then, bj clearly dis-
embrtrrmt»iing our mimfo of any liug-
e'riliR belief in the existence of
thunderbolts, There are absolutely
no such things know to science. The
two real phenomena that underlie
the fable are simply thumlt-r ami
lightning. A thumfor-storm is mere
"lyu'-gprirar of-tdent-Hcal—d is -barges
between clouds ami the earth ; ami
these discharges manifest themselves
to our senses under two forms—to
the eye uh lightning, to the ear ns
thunder. All that passes in each
case is a huge apiirk A commotion,
not a mnteria object. It is iii prin
ciple just like the spark from au
i-lectiic.il mucliiue ; but while the
most poweiful uiaeliine of human
construction will only semi a spark
three feet,/the enormous electrical
apparatus piovided for us by na’ Ure
will send one foi four, five or even
ten miles. Though lightning when
it touches .the earth always seems to
Us to come from the clouds to the.
ground, it fo by no means certain
that the real course may not at least
occasionally be iff the opposite direc
tion. All we know is that sometimes
there is an instantaneous^ discharge
between one cloud and another, and
sometimes an', instantaneous dis
charge between a cloud ami the
»-ark‘i.
highly concentrated eueigy frotn one
point to another was far too abstract,
of course, for primitive man, and, is
far too abstract even now for nine
out of ten of our fellow-cr- atur^es.
Those who don’t still believe . in the
bodily thunderbolt, a “fearsouso aer
ial weapon which buries itself deep
in the bosom of the earth, look upon
lightning as at least an embodiment
of the electric fluid, a long spout or
. line.of molton fire, which is n-.ually
conceived of-as striking thft; ground
and .then proceeding to hiile itself,
iiiider the fonts of a tree or beneath
the foundations of a,tottering house
Primitive man nulurally took to the
grosst-r ami .more uiatertal concep
tion He figured to himself, the
tliunderbblt.as a barbed arrowhead ;
and the forked zigzag chamcter of
the visible flash, as it duns rapidly,
from point tn pnint, seemed n IinOtt
inevjtabiy to suggest to Hirn the
barb.r, as one sees them represented
on all the Greek and Roman- gems,
,ih the red right fraud of the angry
._Junker___.. ■.
The thunderbolt being thus aii
accepted fact,, it followed n iiurally
that .whenever,my darHike object of
unknown origin was'Mug up out- ot
the ground, it was "at once set down
