Take for example that portion ot Mr. Mchiullen's speech on Tuesdal'y night when he aecebted lion. Mr. oster's challenge to study the political history of Canada. "in the light of the record of the great Con- servative party". An Historical Retropeet, Taking only acts attributable to Conservatives still in active public life he drew attention to the Chigneeto Ship Canal an impossible projec: s driled on the country at a cost of '3,400,000 every cent ot which has been absolute- ly wasted for the whole schemecproved a gigantic failure; the St. harles Branch Railway which was the cost ' 41.11.01) and even then was not re- quired, but which actually cost over sl,70l),(11); the Oxford and New Glas- gow branch of the Interenlonial Rail way which was to reduce the line of communication 45 miles and lower all grades, but which actually reduced the distance four and a halt miles only and considerably increased the grades; the harbor improvements in Montreal and Quebec, and the grating dock on the Pacific coast which cost over 8:5,UI 1),! ll), nearly a third oi which was absolutely stolen under the eye and under the management of Tory min- isters. In the construction of the Print- ing Bureau another 850100 was stolen; the Langevin Block cost $550,000 though the estimate ot cost was only tlk0,UAr, The Curran Bridge was es- timated to cost $200.00) it actually cost 0450A”) and in both these instances nearly the whole ofthe diil'erence be- .tween the estimated and actual cost ) was deliberately stolen. These were sample passages from the history of the conntrv during the last few years of tory abministration, and, said the member for North Wel- lington, the Liberals cordially endorse the recommendation recently given by Mr Foster to the young men of Canada to read the political history of the country, "in the light of the record of i the great Conservative party". _ Systematic Obstruction. One reason why the House has atot" yet deposed of the budget debate is the persistent manner in which tlt Tories are obstructing public busi but, by the introduction ot every variety of _ side issues. I made retereuee to this last week and matters have certainly not improved in the interim. No one who is following the proceedings in the House will question the lairnees of the charge that the course being ur- sued by the Opposition isone ot danger- ate obstruction. indeed they a pear to be getting desperate from the tagger- ness with which they seize upon the wildest kind of newspaper gossip. and parade every street rumor out ot which even temporary capital can be made. Take for example the performance of Mr, McCleary of Welland, who on Tuesday undertook to pronounce a terrible indictment against the Militia Department because it wns alleged there was no ammunition for the vol- unteers at St. Catherines when they when they were called oat to protect the Welland Canal after the dynamite outrage; and moreover he said that he had been told there was no artillery ammunition at Toronto, Hamilton, or London. Nothing But A Yum. Apart from the manifest indescretion (to put it mildly) in disclosing such a condition ofaff'aivs if such actually existed, it would have been better for 51r. (Henry‘s own reputation if he Mid taken the trouble to make some in- quiries before reportuvg such an ex- traordinary and improbable story. l llutthe Tory papers eagerly seized on the story and heralded it far and wide under big scare heads, such as "A Sample Liberal Blunder", "Dis- graeol'ul Show-up oi the Militia Depart- mert',aml so on. But investigation showed that there was no neglect of l duty on the part of the Department,‘ that everv precaution had been taken for a suttieieney of supplies at all points, that an y luck of those supplies was entirely due to neglect on the part of Colonel of the regiment and that there were ample supplies of artillery ammunition at every point where there was adequate magazine aceomodation for them.' It was farther shown that years ago attention had been called to the necessity of greater precaution for the protection of the Welland Canal and other public works along the frontier, but that the Prafl"l"e'r'! under Tory administration, ad per- sistently refused to adopt measures frequently urged upon them. Sad to relate the Tory 'fa'teeg,i' have the for, failed toglve t e same pro, minence ”his statement of the actual eondldon d "aim that they did to them yarns previouely re- ferredto. The Preference.

This he has done by giving interviews to a New York paper and by writing in the Sun, Toronto, articles which de- nounce Britain for the present War in language calculated and it would almost seem intended to rouse anti- British leeling in the United States to the interfering point, which ot course would mean war, at which no doubt Prof. Smith would find Jutstifieation for still stronger stabs at the Empire. Were it not that attention to his bitterness would only tend to give it more consequence than it deserves, we think the great writers of our daily papers, and even parliament itself should shower condemnation on this friend of the Boers, who keeps harping on Cecil Rhodes, on Britain's allege mercenary motives, and sees nothing tocondemn in Boer injustice to white men, in Boer cruelty to the natives, in Boer treachery in war. The last issue of "Saturday Night' deals trenehantly With this enemy within the gates. Here are a few ex. tracts: "The Professor, speaking through the New York "Herald" to a country which is already honeycomb- vd with pro-Boer doctrine, says that "We have encountered. in its greatest intensity, that enthusiastic patriotism which turns the sluggard's blood to fltuue. " May we not with pro riety ask it this is true only ot the 1£>ers? Opposed to the forces of the Transvaal [ are the enthusiastic soldiers of England 1 Ireland, Scotland, Wales, South Africa. New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Loyalty to British institutions and to the greatest civilizing power the world has ever known, appears to have turned much other than the Boom' “sluggard blood to flame. " Are there any imaginable circumstances in Great Britain's wars or controversies ,which,have turned, or are like? to (PT, the blood of Prefesser Gol win lSmith intoa passionate fltune of love tor his country? If not, he should hardly place himself above all his fellow-countrymen as a judge of the righteousnetsaot a war which en one side has so much passion, and on the other side, so much steadfast loyalty and, it may be, unreasoning love for freedom as Britishers understand it." A After showing that both sides in all wars have had eloquent advocates it closes: “Professor Goldwin Smith's attitude will not add to the lustre of a name which has been coupled with so many unreasonable things and yet has also been associated with much benevolence and culture. This, too, when no good can be aiseomplished by his bitter Jamaica for those whose cause hea vocates, except it be by exciting the people of the United States to interfere in a war which, even if it be as improper " Professor Gold- win Smith has described it, cannot, 1 possibly be as disgraceful as the war between the United States and Spain. Does the learned Professor hope to make peaceful or glorious the end of his life by embroiling Great Britain and Canada in eonfiiet with the United States? Would such a war be more worthy than the effort of Great Britain l to protect its colonists in South Africa , Fortunately, in Great Britain and in1 Canada the Professor's pen is powerless to create any sentiment except admir- ation for the literary ability of the writer. In the United States, agitated as it is by a coming Presidential elec- tion, when atride may turn the tide for or against Great Britain in the Imatter of intervention, an interview such as was given to the New York Herald may have weight entirely out of proportion to the value of the opinion expressed or the "flTlleitl'1' of the person cxpressing it. his being the case. one perhaps is likely to forget the friendship expressed for the Boers in the interview while remembering, as one cannot help remembering, the impulse of unaccountable hate which must have been felt for Great Britain."
