in fact, the conclusion to which every | wau is forced, who believes half that is | said or written against our swarming pat riots is that public virtue in the breasts of public men is like perpetual motion, an thing impossible,

One of two things is clear—either our public men are much below those of other countries or there is a very slanderous element in the nature of our people. In

times of great excitement often considered monsters of iniquity eame to the head of affairs, their memo- ries are clear from many of the mean and sordid vices with which our leading men are charged. The former may be assailed as being the apostles of principles daa- of

In the issue of November 4th we fit curiously-suggestive editorial on Canadian Independence—published the day before Mr? Forster delivered that address of his to which

so much interest seems to have attached throughout the British Empire. Mr. Forster gave his hearers, as the L/- | inburgh Scotsman says, ‘‘ a correct view of

This conclusion has been stamped into the public mind of Canada as the right one, | and the most consonant with the feelings of the people. Yet, while the public men of Great Britain are endeavoring to draw closer the fies which bind—we find Mr. McKenazie’s organ in London asserting that Mr. McKenzis gave the Conservative (iov~ ernment-of England to understand that he and his Government were in favor of the in. dependence of Canada, Remembering the thorough activity of the partiganship of the News, Agent General Jenkins’ knowledge of the policy of the McKenzie Government, we rived only read the following to perceive that the object of Mr. McKenzie's london organ is to inform British editors and its contemporaries of Mr. McKenzie’s views. The News says :—

‘*The oldest of England's Colonies has declared through the first Minister that she means tO manage her own affairs. ‘This plain and outspcken determination of Cana- da, coming so soon after the visit to this country of Mr. MeKenzie, when, doubtless, that honorable gentleman had the oppor tunity of making the position of Canada in re- lation to the United States thoroughly well known to the Counsellors of the Queen, warrants us in the belief that the principal Ministers of State concur in sanctioning a procedure which they have the prudence to recognise as a necessity.’’ Further on in this suggestive editorial, the Canadian News says that a Study of the Dominion Parliax mentary Companion shows that to the Tory party in England “the Liberal Party in Canada is made up of very dangerous com-~ bustibles, Among these will be found free traders, and advocates of Canadian inde- pendence—the latter meaning the absorp- tion in,-and annexation to the United States.’’ All this is said in a bold tone, is a sort of proclamation of the feelings and views of the Government of Canada, Some, thing to be boasted of; something to teach the “ Tory’ Government of Great Britain and the “ Tory Editors,’’ what fire-eating fellows those Grits of Canadaare, !n Eng, land Mr. McKenzie, through his organ, openly boasts of the fact that he has Inde- pendents in his train, and that independ- ence means annexation.

Here in Canada he is compelled to res pudiste the soft impeachment. Why these two styles of utterances? He had two ways of looking at Free Trade—one to suit England and Scotland ; the other to suit Montreal and Toronto.

queque argument and says, ‘ You, Sir John, had Independents in your ranks.’

Now what is the meaning of all this? Evidently the ‘ brave lords’ of the London organ are designed to arrest the attention of the British Government. What is the game that is being played? Is it that Agent General Jenkins is using the semi, official paper of Canada to enable him to be-rate Conservative editors and a Conser- vative Government ? ness to make Canada his cat’s paw. Our interests are too important to be endan- gered in order that Agent General Jenkins may ‘pound’ editors who have ridiculed him, or phillipize ata government which ignores hii.

Is it that Mr. MeKenzie, finding that a title was not forthcoming with the readi- ness he anticipated, has begun.to play a game with Canada for his triumph card in hopes of winning a ‘ Sir’ for a bandle to his name? It is so said by many.—Halifaxr Reporter.

The Big Push Scandal seems likely to preserve its analogy to the Pacific Railway Seandal as in other respects, so in going from bad to worse through a series of prox gressive revelations. The original charge of the West Durham News has been pretty well made good, There is no doubt of the genuineness of Mr. Brown’s letter call- ing upon the President of the Ontario Bank fora contribution to the election fund, or of the fact that, My. Brown’s party having got into office, the new Government placed a large deposit in the Bank. Mr, Brown's defence was not a denial of the charge, but an attempt to turn its edge by repre- senting the election fund as a very small one—a representation not consistent with the other parts of the letter, The state- tenis of the West Durham News, are then, so far entitled to attention. That journal now proceeds to charge Senator Simpson with having bought oughtright the votes of three members of Parliament in the crisis which resulted in the overthrow of Sir John Macdonald.. The sum given for the three yoies is alleged to have been $30,(KK). The inducement to advance that large sum presumably was the expectation of Gioverfis ment favour to the Bank. Senator Simp- son denies. the charge. The West Durham News declares itself ready to produce good apd sutticient eyidence ; and thus issue is fairly joined. The direet purchase of the votes of Members of Parliament seems worsa than anything we have heard yet ; but it is really not worse than the Big Push lettter itself.

Gifted with great intelligence and energy, he edau- cated himself and entered journaliem. In 1848 he came to America, where he gave

money by buying a cargo of damaged goods and selling them ata heayy profit. With this capital he returned to Jondon in 155%, and fontidéd ‘several newspapers ; but six years afterwards he went to Berlin, where he was seven years the agent of an English insur- ance Company. In 1464, however, Strous~ berg began to think of improving his for- tunes, and having made acquaintance at the British Embassy, by this means come to know the English capitalists, with whom he contracted for the construction of the Tilsit- Insterburg Railway. Within six years Strousberg was making a dozen lines, among others ‘those of Roumania. He had over 100,000 workmen in his pay,and had launch- ed out, into other great enterprises. At Hanover he established a gigantic machine factory; at Dortmund and Neustadt he had smelting works and iron factories ; at Ant~ werp an@ Berlin he built entire new quar- ters; in Poland an entire new county; in Bohemia he paid four million dollars for the splendid domain of Zibirow, where he es - tablished railway carriage works, and em- ployed 5000 workmen. Meantime he built a palace for himself in Berlin, which in de. corating, luxury and accommodation sur. passed that of the Emperor himself Nor was his charity on a less splendid sesle. In the winter he caused 10,000 portions >f soup to be given to the poor, in addition » 0 2000 pounds worth of wood. When the famine broke out in East Prussia he sent whole trains lgden with corn and potatoes to his fellow-countrymen, Then came the crash, and Stréusberg fell.
