J PITO, I4;L: 1VQTFS,
pelts evidence ill the Die reevy
scandal is not ail in yet, but it ie
likely to be got through with 'this
week Wheat it is all in and report-
`gad the public will he in a position to
{know whether any member of the
<farQvernment has been guilty of
'conspiring with subdordivateli to do -
fraud the pub!io treasury. If any
one of them has he must go. No
government can have the endorse:
meat of the people who will retain
a member as guilty ae one is alleged.
We don't believe yet that be is
guilty. We have every confidence
in Sir John Thompson, the leader
in the House, he knows what is
due to !himself and the people. He
is every inch an honest, fourteen man
*stnd will not consent to have a poli.
tic pluudersr in the Cabinet. In
the meantime the verdict must rt•
main in suspense. When parka
meat has all the evidence before it
we believe the Conservative majority
will give uu uncertain judgment
and that 0 itliout felt•, fdyor or
.xifec.tiou. if they do what is right
ithey uity appeal to the country
c ntident of support, if they gloss
over monumental corruption in
high places, the power behind the
throne will assert its sovereignty and
its integrity by sending those to
Ottarva who will protect the public
treasury from the plundering horde
at Ottawa that seems to have fastens
ed its leech -like fangs upon it. Let
right awl justice and honesty in
public servants prevail.
Tha Woodstock S'picliu l Th-ciem,
referring to the endeavor to obtain
some remuneration for the veterans
of 1837-8, remarks th it "the country
has already paid too dear for patriot
ism." This cannot be. What
shall it profit a man if he gain the
whole world and have no country.
While we agree that "Sir John
Thompson is perhaps the most
honest and sensible nriu. in the
Dominion Government", Sir J.Jhu
will 'scarcely relish the taffy given
to him at the expense of his good
sense and patriotism, when the S
say : "Canada h is already paid too
dear for patriotism ; and is in no
mood to increase the list of pension-
er°. It is gratifying to state that
SIR JonN THOMPSON has the good
sense to recognize this." Now Sir
John Thompson never said any-
thing that would justify the S -R. in
Concluding that he recognized that
"Canada had already paid too dear
for patriotism ; and is in no mood. to
increase the list of pensions." Ilis
objection was based upon the fact
that compensation, if any, was due
by the Provinces, and he made no
reference to the country paying "too
dear, for patriotism". He said :—
"Whatever the merits might be in
the public estimation of those who
were concerned in the conflict of
that period, and much as I have said
we must admire the heroism dis-
played, and much as we must ap-
preciate what was done for the
country by the veterans of 1837-8,
this was a question, he submitted,
Which, in this Dominion parliament,
formed as it was of representatives
not merely of those two provinces
-in which the struggle raged for the
time, but of the newer provinces
having 4othing at all to d) with it,
Ehp. should not be called upon to
veal with it. It was inappropriate
that parliament be asked to grant
any bounty. They should remem-
ber that this country dated from the
period when the Dominion was forme
ed, when all the provinces joined
hands forming a new nationality.
It- woe for that reason that the
government had declined to recog•
nize this as a bounty which they
should grant."
The Mitchell Recorder of last
week returns to its valiant attack
upon the Lady True Blues for their
temerity in- visiting that town on
the recent celebration of the auni•
versary of the Battle, of the Boyne.
He also flings nearly a column of
of billingsgate at "A Huron Orange-
man" who, at the doughty editor's
own request, pointed out the ele-
vated aims and usefulness of the So-
ciety. But the Recorder man is a
genuine Bourbon : he will never
learn anything, and he never forgets
anything. Though told of the
Christian and benevolent aims of

main, or affect to remain, ignorant
in the matter. He appears to never,;
forget that he wantonly abused those
ladies, and he continues to wallow
in his vomit. There is uu good to
be accomplished by multiplying
words with such a vt•Ral villain that
so delights in vile vituperation of
high-minded Christian women.
Cynicism and buffoonery love to
flfng their filth -poisoned darts at
shining marks. As the religious ale -
men tis general in all women he
blazes away at the Lady True Blues
with perfect falstaffiiin courage. But
their influence for good will he felt
despite their braggart slanderer, and
they will go on an ever-increasing
ly powerful factor, by their exem-
plary lives and influence, in preserv-
ing the religion of our forefathers
and in assisting the fatherless. The
Recorder man is as destitute of
journalistic as of Chiiatiun courtesy.
The fellow may yet be taught
manners oven it' it has to be flogged
into him with rawhides in the fair
hands of those whoru he has so wan
touly insulted. Suoli a scoundrel
deserves no quarter at their hands.
He also has the' effrontery to• say
that "A Huron Orangeman" and
the editor of THE NEWS -RECORD are
one and the same. As this statement
is destitute of truth we can do no
less than tell him, in he words of a
great and good man, lie is "a liar."
The editor of THE NEWS -RECORD
has, however, no scruples about en-
dorsing the letter referred to, but
he neither inspired nor penned it,
and the first he knew of it was
when it pias handed to him for
publication. -
