HAPPY New Year to all,
ENonaxn's Grand Old Mau—or more
properly speaking the World's Grand 01d
Man --Hon, W. E. Gladstone, celebrated
his 80th birthday thie week and was the
recipient of many congratulatory mes•
sages. It is doubtful if his equal as an
all-round man can be found on this broad
earth to -day.
Tom Wingham Advance, Clinton News.
Record and the Brussels Herald have
found room in their editorial columns to
make certain references iu their respective
journals to the recent Commission held
in Brussels and in some cases have gone
a good distance out of their way in per-
sonal attacks and insults ; imputing
motives ; and distorting evidence. We
have purposely avoided reference to the
fnvesbigatiou np to blae present, excepting
in publishing a synopsis of the evidence,
believing that Barrister Lazier, who pre-
sided and took the evidence, and the Post-
master General are competent to deal
with the question, and arriving at what-
ever seems to them a proper conclusion.
If, however, our brethren of the quill are
determined to unfairly dismiss the matter
we purpose taking a hand too and dealing
witb`a few plain foots lima appear appal:.
ent to us. It is said there are two sides
to every story and we guess it is true in
this case.
