At once the whole of the “ dark lantern brigade ” is put in action, and every means possible taken to shield the wrong-doer from the consequences of his transgression.

Robert Rogi.-rs.` T lie Patriot takes good care, while making this ehiirge, to ignore the fact that Premier Scott of Sziskiitcliewan made a 'desperate _3PP*`3l ,by telegrzlin on 'thi-se very lines to Sir Wilfiid Laurier to onine to his assistance, and that ‘Sit“'\Vilfrid re- (r;i'ineil absolutely from taking any action. The Patriot alleges that we misrepresented the attitude of the 'i`oi'oiito _iicivspapers on the subject, _and referred us to their coliiniiis. \\1'c turn to the Toronto News of ftlarch 1, :ind this is \\1hat_we find: “ t)tta\\‘a. .\|:trch 1.-Premier Walter Scott in his hurried journey from Regina to Nassau, Bahama I ~_l;ind_<, was reported to have arranged a stop-'over ;__¢ Ottawa to make a final appeal to Sir Wilfrid for :i.ssist:ince or at least recognition.

'I_`own_Planning Acts are already in force in Nova'Scotia, New Bruns- _w-ick and Alberta, and bills are now before the legis- latures of Manitobia and Saskatchewan.
