abundant. The Globe.s contentlon that Manitoba will not have more than one million bushels of wheat {or exportation is quite contradicred 113153;“, The sowing was done we show the magnitude of the evils inflicted on us by Toryism. But we seem woiully dehcient 1n the knowledge of a cure. Rightly or wrongly. the people of Canada believe that the average conserva- tive is quite as honest as the aver- age reformer. To appeal, therefore, to the popular vote on no other ground than that of our superior honesty is as idle as whistling to the wind. The last general election 1 should remain a lasting proof of the utter uselessness of the higher mor- ality cry. If the Reform party is ever to be in power, it must emerge trom the sloughs of inaction and ti. midity. It must abandon as ridiCu- lous the cry that its members are not as those of the other side. It must boldly enunciate a policy, and stand or {all by that policy. This Mr. Laurier, its mouthpiece. did not do on the first great opportunity that was presented to him. To be honorable. high-minded and elo- quent is not enough” One may be all this and much more, and yet fail to inspire his countrymen with that faith which confidently intrusts to ,‘ hlm the management of its affairs. l i Mr. Laurier’s speech at Somerset Was far from satisfactory. Grace. ful, Dolished and eloquent the new Reform leader was as ever. But tangible and practical he was not. It would seem, indeed, that our par- ty is in danger of death from stag: nation. We detect the flaWS in our opponents: we expatiate on them; we have no reason to regret the result of the South Renfrew election Between the two candidates there was very little for a true Liberal to choose. Dr. Ferguson came out as a pronounced supporter ot the Ot~ tawa government. Mr. McIntyre came out a pronounced supporter of the Canadian Pacific Railroad. In regard to the latter, it is a Signifi- cant fact that he received invitat- ions from the two party machines to contest the riding in their special in- terests. Mr. McIntyre selected to run as a Liberal. For this choice he had other grounds than mere party predilection. South Renfrew, in the first place, is a pretty safe ri- ding tor a Reformer. In the second place, Mr. McIntyre might trequent- ly be able to render to the monopo- ly of which he is a member more ef- fective service in opposition'tlian in the government ranks. Fortunate- ly, the Liberalism of South Renfre w refused to be conjured up by the watchword of party. It refused to sacrifice itself at the bidding of those with whom party success makes amends for all. And today true Liberalism has cause to re- Joice that there is sufficient sturdy principle in the Relormers of South Rentrew to reject one whom they know to be Identified with the most rapaclous monopoly that ever curs- ed a country.

A sensational report appeared in the columns of a Boston paper; that report was cop- ied by two or three Lower Canadian papers, and the result will be a suit for libel. which will resurrect the whole question. It is not unfre- quently the. case that, when a mur- (ler has been committed, many re- fuse to believe that the man hanged is the guilty person.
