Honest Friendship Again.

Mr. Henry Lawson does not appear, from Saturday's Patriot, to be in the very best of humor. ‘‘Lie” and “‘lying,” ‘‘im- pudent” and ‘Gmpudence,” fly in giddy profusion through the length of his writ- ings) Why this illnatured explosion ? Why has the dull manufacturer of heavy editorials and pointless paragraphs become suddenly transformed into the boisterous, infuriated scold? Simply because the man has been caught at hig old trick of helping on the two sides of a question at the same time We say his old trick, because the public must remembe- the time when Mr. Fletcher convicted him of receiving six shillings and three pence for writing an article in favor of Confederation,and accept- ing four shillings and six pence for writing @ re)ly to the same article in another paper. Like Bob Acres, our hero can do a mean action without any hesitation, but his con- science is terribly hurt at being found out. It is true that he denies, with great unction, having written the letter signed ‘‘ Native” in Thursday’s Patriot. We are sorry to say that we have not sufficient con- fidence in his word to accept it without corroborative evidence, and in this regard the public generally will agree with us, knowing his sinful propensities as well as we do. But supposing, for argument sake, that he did not write the letter signed ‘‘ Native,” his case is not materially im- proved. For copying articles from the Herald and Examrver Henry Lawson charg- ed the Pres>yterian with attacking the Lieut. Governor by ‘“‘proxy.” According to his own rule Henry Lawson must have attacked the Lieut. Gevernor by proxy, while he was defonding‘him in person in his editorial columns, The main difference being that the defence was weak, heartless and insin- cere,while the attack was couched in strong- er language against the Lieut. Governor than anything which had appeared in the Herald, Presbyterian or Examiner. While Mr. Lawson was professing to defend the Lieut. Governor, he gave the letter of ‘‘ Native ” a prominent place in his columns and allowed the attacks which it contained

to pass until this moment unanswered. —_—— = eae

The Political Situation in Quebec.

ee ee

The Montreal Witness of the 6th says: ‘‘From well informed sources information has been received to the effect that now that excitement has abated, a coalition is considered almost certain. It is said that a cabinet is even in course of formation, and the following are mentioned as likely to form combination :

Langelier, Premier,

Joly, Public Works, Langelier, Crown Lands, Church, Attorney General, Mercier, Solicitor General, ‘Taillon, Provincial Secretary, John Hearn, Pres. ef Council.

(t is held by these favoring such cealition that dissolution and general elections would

be unsatisfactory, as parties would come back probably in even numbers again, and crisis would continue, while in meanwhile burden of expense would be increased. Lt. Governor Robitaille is said to be favorable to the above coalition. A Witness reporter interviewed a few English-speaking Liberals of Montreal in reference to the matter, and while they did not know whether to credit the report or not, they did not look upon the prospect of such coalition faverably.’’ Bexsamin Ror, a farmer of Osakona, Wis.,

has started one of the strangest sects in ex- istence—the **Peculiar Children.” Roe was formerly a Baptist, but was informed by ‘‘the spirit” that a literal interpretation should be g.ven to Christ's words ; ‘Except ye become as little children ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.” The apostle of this dispensation is a large, rather good looking man of 60 years, awkward in manner and un- couth in speech, but so earnest that he has made quite a number of converts in his vicin- ity. During the summer Roe conducts a ¢ump-meeting in the woods, the religious ex- e-cises being like those of similar gatherings. bat afterwards gray-beards and grandmas whip out their tops and marbles, play tag and kissing games, suck candy and play with dolis jor all the world like children of eight and ten years old. Strange as it may appear, this sort of thing makes converts to the doctrine that believers shall be innocent, sincere, above

care for land or gold, but instead, should love | tear

harmless enjoyment, and those things alone which are intrinsically harmless,

thé Dutchuidti In ‘Knickerbocker’ made his preparations to leap over a mountain. He ran five miles to get up momentum. When he arrived at the mountain he was forced to sit down to rest himself, and the leap was postponed, This little story is recommended to our Opposition friends. These gentlemen

*

are so determined to have opposition, so bent

public opinion, that they are exhausting them- selves too early in the Parliamentary term. They are running their five miles to get up momentum. By and by, when the mountain of the general election is to be scaled, ot will find they have not left themselves breat

for the effort. The revenue story is even now pretty well exhausted. The civil service ‘‘scandal” has proved to be a hollow mockery. The Pacific railway contract ‘‘scandal”’ is really too artifical for public be- lief, Sir Leonard Tilley’s loan has not offered a single coin ‘‘of vantage” to Grit grasp. The Letellier affair will have to be iven up asa washed out political ‘‘claim.” The Chatham post office business is hardly ‘ national” enough to tickle the ears of a pub- lic, which, when there are scandals, wants them big. The ‘‘ personage in high social standing ” appears to have been absent from Ottawa—perhaps in charge of the blacking ap- paratus, The ‘‘high official” in London is probably out of a job—at ten-pence an hour. To the sources of Opposition journalism are not, just now, many or full ; and violent exer- cise on an empty stomach is proverbially dan- gerous, so violent political agitation with an empty scandal-bag must produce unhappy re- sults. Let our Opposition contemporaries take warning by the Dutchman in ‘Knickerbock- er,” and let them take their rest half way.— Toronto Mail,

Lawyers Fighting Over the Roe Bros. vs. Copp Case, Moncton.

Quite a scene took place in Stipendiary Magistrate Wortman’s Civil Court on Satur- day, between the counsel employed in the case of Roe vs. Copp. The affair is thus reported in the St. John 7elegrahh:—

The case of Roe Bros. vs. Copp is still occupying the attention of Justice Wort- man. Quite an excitement was created in court this morning between Mr. Wells, one of the counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. George P. Thomas, one of the counsel for the defence. Mr. Wells, who was cross examining Mr. Copp insinuated that the wit- ness had been coached by Mr. Thomas dur- ing the night. Mr. Thomas claimed that Mr. Wells was in duty bound to apologize. Mr. Wells stated that Mr. Thomas could settle the matter outside, and expressed himself ready to go out and challenged Mr. Thomas to go with him. Mr. Thomas went and struck at Mr. Wells, knecking him through the court room window and break- ing two panes of glass,

Mr. Wells, seeing that he would have to succumb to Mr. Thomas, fled to the wharf, and Mr. Thomas, not being as good a run- ner, could not cateh him. Both counsel after some time got back to court and re- ceived a lecture from the learned justice on their unruly conduct, but soon a row took pe again, Mr. Thomas claimed that Mr.

ells was using unprofessional language to him. Mr. Wells—You do not deserye to be treated with gentlemanly courtesy.

Mr. Thomas—I am sorry I associated so much with Mr, Wells in my earlier days,

Mr. Wells—My friends at Cape Tormen- tine kept Mr. Thomas from starving to death.

Mr. Thomas—At that very same time Mr. Wells was begging for his family with a basket on his arm, his arms naked, a pair of old stockings on his feet and an old straw hat on his head in the middle of winter, and he talks of keeping me from starving to death ! . (Loud laughter.)

The magistrate expressed disgust at the disgraceful proceedings of the lawyers, and adjourned the court until two p.m.

Murder—Con- fession of the Fratricice.

In the Brown murder case Constable Pike, whe was with the prisoner, Clark Brown, son of deceased, all night along with Constable Stallmyer, says Clark put in a very uneasy night. Dr. Reddick was sent for and gave him some medicine, after which Clark slept an hour or so. Rey. A. Rowat, Presbyterian minister, visited him yesterday morning about six o’clock and re- quested him, if he had done wrong to con- fess openly. Holding out the inducement ef forgiveness being granted only on that condition, he made an open confession be- fore the two constables and the Rev. Mr. Rowat. In confessing he stated that he rapped on the door below to bring his father down stairs; that he struck him with the axe at the foot of the kitchen stairs, expecting to kill him instantly, and leave him till morning. Having partly failed, his father ran into the bedroom be- low, where the struggle between him and his father took place, the final and fatal blow being dealt on the prostrated body of his father outside the bedroom, just at the door, He then saw his sister looking on and dispatched her to cover the crime of murdering his father. He states that

other person, is implicated. On _ being pressed to give the reason of his committing the awful crime, he said he sheuld not give any reason. He had thought of doing it all that day; that his mind was strangely acted upon and a determination to do the deed seized him that evening.

The Post says ‘“The deed was in all prob- ability accomplished in the heat of revenge-

Mr. Tuos. Baytry Porrer, the English Free Trader and M. P., is now in Mentreal. In an interview on the prospect of trade at home, he said: ‘If the present prices of food are Maintained, and the great question turn- ing on free trade in land are settled satisfac- torily, an improvement may be expected in England at no distant day. Of course there has been overy-trading, and all classes have been extravagant in their expenditures, both these will bring about their own cure, There isa distinct revival of trade in the United States, and also in Canada, and I an- ticipate a similar change in England before long, although the payment in gold for food to America may cause temporary embarrass- ment. We now take from America eighty millions sterling worth of products per year, and only return in commodities sixteen mil- lions—-one fifth--of our exports from the United States.

Tue Canadian lllustrated News aptly says: ‘* The conduct of some of our Canadian papers is inexplicable. Whenever they see a spiteful or ignorant reflection on the country in an American or other foreign journal,they pounce upon it with savage glee and republish it with sensational headlines. If they do this through party prejudice they are very unwise ; if they do it in an anti-patriotic spirit, they act des- picably and show themselves unworthy of their high mission as public teachers, The The proper course that we all should pursue is to resent any and every attack against our credit, our prospects er our national institu- tions. No matter what may be our intestine divisions, we should unite in defending our country, when its policy, based upon the will of the people for the time being, is made the subject of foreign animadversion.”
