Gael's left to wonder what is the
matter with the Boers that they
should wish, in view of the present
state of things, to dictate the terms of
peace, as though they were the con-
querors. Is it because, having had an
isolated life, they are so ignorant of
the usages of warfare, or is it natural,
dogged stupidity and menacing eon-
eeit-qualities that, had much to do
with leading them to declare war in
the first instance? To the Boer prison-
ers in St, Helena and Ceylon the news
that the war is to be continued will
not be pleasant. It means prolonged
exile, and to some death in a strange
land. The physical comfort of their

during the lase election considerable
was written and told from the plat-
form, about H. H. Cook, being offered
a seat in the senate upon his paving
$10,000, to somebody, for it. Mr. Cook
is a Liberal, and the Liberals having
such appointments in their hands, the
money must certainly be paid to the
Liberals. The report was scooted by
the Liberal press, and proof of the
statement was called for. At that
time investigation was inopportune
mad impossible for any purpose. Re-
cently the Senate passed a motion
that Mr. Cook's charges be investi-
gated. Now the Liberal press protests
and do nob want an investigation,
fearing no doubt staitling develop-
ments. The 'investigation, however,
will take plaza very- soon, when the
public will know whether Mr. Cook is
a prevaricator or the Liberal 'manag-
ers are guilty of the crime of selling
public offices for party election funds
