Mr. anage owns up to SiQDIIIg .the Petition to Open the road but persists in reiterating, his belief that outside help would be forthcoming In his noxt sentence he says â€"-"' \\ e bedeve many, (we are sum of one) Isigned the petition with that belief ” Now we do nor. know who that. ONE ‘is but we do know that Mr. Ramave is not, that ONE. W e judge simply by his own wouds utteieu one day about noon as we were looking at. the con- Struction of the work. Again Mr. Ramage “ takes back ” his reference of two weeks ago, to a 9‘ weak ” argument, and Says it was " no argument. at all.” These are the very words Mr. Calder used to us, as we were coming ens: one after- noon across the La'nbton Street. bridge. \Ve presume the old adage about “ great minds ” running i- similar channels is as true now as ever but the common weanlings \\ he think that new spapers are controlled by '" masters ” would be mean enough to infer. from these and other inci. Keats, than Mr. Calder had a hand in basing the job, just as our “ mast-ere Af'er charging us with “bilious- ness.” "excitement.”, "playing in the gallery ” and so on, our esteemed Aconfrere Mr. Ramage informs his readers that "it suited Bro. Irwin fibout that time to set up men of straw, and knock them dOVHJ. ” Up to the time of reading Mr. Ramavc’s .efiort to deieud‘ nis position we never once looked upon him as a straw man. and in fact if “e had been asked to name the material of which he was composed, we would have chosen putty illSIBad. HCH‘W‘ Mr. Ram- :age has set us right on this point and the difference of mateiial “ill knake us none the more app: ehensve. On that particular occasion the! question came up as to the worthleSs- ness of petitions, on account of many signing then without considering. their import, whereupon Mr. Ram- nge voluntarily admitted that he himself, had done .-0 never thinking the work would cOSt anything like four or five hundred dollars. and ; he further stated that he thought nbout seventy-five or eighty dollars 5 would cover all that was needed! This was after Mr. Calder had 0p? posed the job in Council and gave' his eatimate of the probable cost” From this and such other data as we ; have at our command we are Safe in? inferring at least that Mr. Ramagei is not the 03:13 to whom the gentle-f men circulating the petition have' made any misrepresentation of facts. -_ .â€" « 4"-.. Our article of two weeks ago. en- titled "Pass Round the Hat ” has touched a tender 3pm in the Ramage- Calder combination as shown by last week’s Review, where by a. united cfiort they try to punish us, “our master and Others,” for our gross impudence in daring to discuss a. public question. Nothing daunted. however, we rise to the cccasion. gingle handed and alone to ward 03 the blows of our cruel antagon- ists. neither of whose productions ‘we deem worthy of more than a passâ€" ing notice. Each article appears in a separate ,column in print, but, up to this point. we have no assmance, but that they were united like the Siamese Twins. To our advertising patrons, who hum given us such liberal support in the past. we ofier an eXpression .0! our gratitude, and mum that to them also we may be able to give better service which will be mutually profitable, if properly handled. The laborious "Supplement” which ap- peared in almost every issue, will now, we expect, be a. thing of rare occurrence, a pleasing feature, we have no doubt. to those whose ad- vertisements and communications had to appear thereon. And now, to our readers generally, we tender our thanks for their sup- port, and especially do we thank those who have always paid their subscriptions regularly. To those who are still in arrears, we again ask you to give usa remittance with the insurance on our part that every ,dollar is needed and will be used in increasing the usefulness of Tins .Cmtosxc'Ls We trust our readers will be better .utisifed, and that the better service we can render to them, as well as to par eficient and faithful staff of cor- respondents will be a full compensa- tion for the extra. labor and expense Incurred. The 01130me this week is enlarg- ed tad we hope improved. For the put three years we have been handi~ capped for want of space and though we did our best to meet the demands of our readers, correspondents and ulvertisers we were unable to do so toour own satisfaction. An enlarge- ment was often thought of, but the Mditional labor and expense that such would incur prevented us from making the change up to the present Durham, February 1, 1900.
