OTTAWA Citizet :—We have yet to
read in the columns of a grit journal a
single sentence in condemnation of the
Globe's brutal treatment of SIR Cn.0 u,Es

the organs, taking their cue from the
Globe, have endeavoured- to .emulate it
in its policy of slander and scurrility.
The generous treatment. accorded to
