Sir John Thuiupeou and lawyer Osler seem daterutiued that in the investigation going on before the elections and privileges committee every effort will ba mads to fumes out the truth iu all matters in which the public interest is concerned no matter who may suffer. llobt. McGreevy testified before the House committee that some of the money that he claims was stolen from the Government went to pay the election expenses of the Grit minister of agriculture in the Que- bec govelourent. !'mobs ate getting kind of mixed when rrouey alleged to have been given to stinport the election of a Grit M.

Even such being the case it does not follow that a Grit is necessarily more unregenerate than a Tory, though he airy ry be more dif fieult to evangelize. A wind storm at Kyle. Texas, blew a man out of bed and sent him two hundred yards away. Au ex• change says that's nothing, a poor weak woman can blow a man up and send him further than that. Some Conservative papers are protesting against what they call the Globe's "fiendish" attacks uu Sir . John l\Iacdouald's nretnury. They • tnigi,t s.tya their wind, 'l'he chief editoti,tl writer of the Globe is a man who, for a consideration, told his country's enewius where they might best stab her lie is not the land of roan to be moved by concis Pterions of decency to a dead enemy. liishon Cox, of New York, in one of his published utterance, cltred that women ''iding on bicy- cles reminded him of what he could imagine to have been "witches riding on a broomstick." Upon being taxed with melt ae invidious comparison, he o+lalifietl his former statement by saying that "bicycling is grus'ly ilii nudest as well as ri- diculous fur women." That Ottawa civil service em- ployees ha,:, heel guilty of irnetgn- 1trities is now a well ascertained f tet. That under Grit rule similar irregularities took place is no valid excuac. Though in many instance8 the work was done for which pub• tic aloneyl was drawn, it is repre- hensible to resort to -subterfuge even to obtain honestly earned money. It is a hopeful sign to see that the delinquents are contrite. But they should be punished by suspension or rodeced in the ranks of (lie stir, vice or in some way made to feel that the confidence of their super- iors and the public cannot be abus- ed with impunity. Notwithstanding that the purchas- inqq" power of our people has been grtfater the past year than the year before, by reason of our having exported nearly mil- lion dithers worth more of our pro- ducts than the previous year, we have imported nearly half a million dollars worth of goods leas. Which means that we have bought at least that amount of house produces), wares more than we did the previ- ous year, end this half million of dollars has gone ti support iudus• tries iu this country instead of being sent to support foreign labor on a foreign soil. • -- panics using their lines, .Judge Who struck Murphy That iu- Wurtolu, of Montreal, dismissed the fatuous luau Murphy, who testified' action, on the ground that the pro - before the Committee iuvestigating par tribunal to adjudicate upon the the alleged wrong doing iu the matter was tliel'arliamentarcBail way Public Works Department, was Committee. The Court reserved to knocked duwu by cool.sel Osler the plaintiffs their right to other re- t other day. The Grit p'pere are terribly hidiguaut at Murphy being thus abused, But it seems the way lawyer Osler knocked Murphy down was by dragging a little truth out of hint, which so staggered the A good deal of casuistry and hair witness when it w compared with splitting is resorted to to prove that contrary evidence witness had "the tariff is a tax," that "tile tariff is previously given that Osier knocked hint down with the exhibition of his perjury, and he fell over in a faint, anti what conscience he may have had wits au I ipturt•d that he wee not able to give ttvidel,eo nt•xt day.

When confronted with on affidavit he mile come years ago that Thomas was out a partner wLiuess Robert cooly said he "would have then sworn to anything to do his brother good." By equality of reasoning, now that his interest lies in doing his brother an injury, he "would swear to anything that would do hie brother harm." What ever the outcome of this matter, this much as certaitt,that the two princi- pal wituesses against Sir Hector are not to be believed on oath. They have both sworn that they have sworn falsely on former occasions to servo their personal ends. '!'here is no reason why they are nut do- ing so uuw.
