(Continued Next Week)
MISS MACPHAIL TWIST THF,
LION'S TAIL
The Toronto "Globe," tolerant of
all who claim to have a zeal in "well-
doing," has been long suffering with
regard to the varagies of Miss Agnes
Macphail, the merry Mormon maiden
who. represents South Grey in the
House of Commons. But clearly
the lady can go too.far. Once.in a
month of Sundays she says something
intelligent, but not oftener. Quite
recently she wrote a circular letter
to the school children of her constit-
uency, in which the only ace/in-ate
statements- were the reyelations that
she `had had some "nice maple sugar"
at her birthday party,' and that the
gardener of the House of Commons,
kindly soul, kept her supplied with
roses. Forthe rest of it, the letter
was a tirade of ignorant abuse against
Great Britain for the treatment of the
Chinese, interladed with kind words.

become Miss Macphail's spiritual.
home.
Now it so happens that the "Globe"
can speak with more . authority on
Chinese matters than most newspa-
pers anywhere; because one of its
proprietors, Rev. Robert Jaffray, was
for many years a distinguished Pres-.
byterian missionary in China. Con -
;sequently when, it says that Miss
.Macphail's letter is " aspecious tissue
of half-truths and untruths, and, a des-
picable attempt to misrepresent and
discredit Great Britain and British
policy in the eyes of the school Phil-
dren," it' knows whereof it speaks.
The letter represents Great Britain
as bilackguardedly villainous in alli
her dealings with China, and it is ev-
ident that' Miss Macphail does not
know' the meaning of the word "face,
tory," as used in China. She imagines
that it means a riianufacturing estab-
lishment like a shoe factory instead
of a trading post like M'Fibse Factory,
the term "factory;' having been' so us-
ed not only by the Hudson's Bay Com-
pany, but by British Trading Concerns.

is an abuse,. and Miss Macphail anis-
uses language to try and make it
appear that the Brtish are the auth-
ors of these cruelties,
Miss Macphail is evidently so full
of red lute against Britain that she
cannot speak the troth : on matters
where her motherland is concerned.
Her reference to the deplorable' Opi-
um. war. of 1840 is the'most distorted'
conceivable. She first of all deals
with the horrors of opium as a diet,

as different in appearance as men
