with noting, however,, that he has

ticians. A man with less strength of
eharacter would have been disposed ,to
temporize with tbe one who ramie such
a demand. The ordinary potato=
-would dread an exposure of any kind
ou the eve of an election. Mr Birm-
ingham might be e.ble to tell a story
that could not be disproved before the
ballots in a general election am count-
ed. But that ronsideration bas not
been allowed to weigh with the leader
of the Opposition. He has stood his
ground, and defied the man who
knows all the secrets of the party for
twenty years past to tell all tbe world
what he knows. In his forty-five
years of public life, Sir Charles bas
not appeared to better advantage than
at the present time, standing firm and
resolute in the face of the men who
would force him to do what he believes
to be wrong. If ever Canada had rea-

Lord Roberts has on mere than one
occasion expressed his admiration for
the Canadian Boys who are taking
such an active part in the South Afri-
can War. In all the correspondence
from the front it is also pleasing to
note the esteem in which the boys
hold their friend "Bobs." Lori
Roberts has the Canadian boys with
him all the time. This is a great corn-
pliment to Canada. There are thous-
ands of Canadians who have friends or
relatives in the Canadian Contingent
and 'who would be glad to have a por-
trait of the great general under whom
they are fighting and fighting success-
fully. The Family Herald and Week-
ly Star has published a really hand-
some coloured portrait of Lord Roberts
and -we have completed arrangements
with them by which all our readers
and residents of this vicinity can se-
cure a copy. ,Itis a true picture of the
famous general. It is 17x22 inches, an
