Impress Investors and Cempany\u2019s Financial .Position Threatened.The large Canadian holders of Canadian Pacific stock are determined to take such action as will cause the withdrawal of Canadian Pacific stock from the New York market as it is claimed that the violent fluctuations in this stock are considered to be opposed to the best inter ests of the finances of the company.When Canadian Pacific stock was first listed in New York it was, at that time the favorite \u2018football\u2019 of the bears who in these days would wait until the Londen market was closed and then begin to hammer the stock.The financial magnates who were financing the Canadian Pacific at that time.such as Lord Strathcona, Lord Mount Stephen.Mr.Duncan Melntyre, Mr.R.B.Angus and others.together with their Loudon and New York associates, persistently and systematically bouzht up that portion of the C.P.R.stock allotted to New York and transferred it to the English and European merkets.This they continued to do until all the stock was.nrmly placed among investors on the other side of the tläntic.- A action practically removed C.P.R.stock from New York and it is within the recollection of leading financiers that gcarcely a share of this stock was handled by Wali street brokers.It would then fiave been an unusual thing to see even one thousand shares of that stock handled cach day in New York while at the present time between twenty-five and bry thousand shares are exchanged there.i He object of the leading Canadian holders of C.P.R.stock is to remove it from :the violent and senseless fluctua- | tions of Wal street, where it is aport for the bulls and bears.\"Canadian Pacific stock remained well off the New York markets until a few years ago, when the stock of parallel railway lines across the border, such as the (reat Northerp and the -Northern .1sles and Europe.W YORK MARKET.of Stock Said to be ion Among European as high as two to three hundred points.It was then that certain New York speculators began comparing the -merits of these two properties, and they readily recognized the speculative value of the Canadian Pacific Railway stock.That was the commencement of the gambling in Canadian Pacific stock, and notwithstanding the price in New York, there has never been any large quantity of C.P.R.stock held there, as most of the original investors have never been tempted to part with their holdings and the recent slump, has resulted :n the removal ag far as possible from the New York market of the small surplus.\u201d .The English and Continental financiers have always been steady and cons'g.ent believer) in the Canadian Pacific Railway\u2019s progress and now the stock is fairly well scattered over the British It is calculated that there are no less than thirty-five thou- «and shareholders of Canadian Pacific stock, with an average of thirty shares cacn.The rise in the Hudson\u2019s Bay and Canadian North-West lands in England has naturally attracted attention of foreign investors, who have also been carefully watching the advance m the values of the Tand holdings of the company, which sum of two hundred million dollars, It is well known that there is nothing which appeals to the English investor like valuable lands and the remarkable holdings of the Canadian Pacific in this respect gives much encouragement to Énanelers and as a direct outcome, the stock of the company is sooner or later destined to be in\u2019 the hands of British and Continental holders, .Several leading financiers who are specially interested oi CE RB stock, when seen to-day r mg

have been as \u2018well if he bad said no more.His speech wastalke |\" tive and full of .repetitions and\u2019 excuses.Mr.Emmerson explained the causés oi his resignation to Sir Wilfrid Laurier-\u2014a specific charge of: \u2018wine and: women\u2019 \u2014.snd Sir Wilfrid accépted hie-resignation\u2019 in a'letter which is a strikihg contrast \"in its lack of effusion to the one Bt \u2018wrote to Mr.Hyman when he resigned.Mr.Emmerson denies the specific charge made against\u201dhim, has brought actions against the newspapers which made them, and asks for a suspen- ston of public opinion until those actions are tried.\u2018 That suspension is only fair and right.If Mr.Emmerson has been faleely accused, he is a very much wronged man.It is time this-fétid atmosphere of innuendo-and »gossip which .bas engulfed our public life sbeuld be eleared.If our public life is in any direction as filthy as it is made out fo be, | ere is no one who dare say it is none _ the public\u2019s business.He does a true and a brave thing .who refuses to let such accusations fly without: being nailed opd either: proved or disproved.If - there be those who have given cause for sbch a public reputation as we seem to Have been.giving ourselves, they must be es to pass into- ignominy, whatevel* eir position, whatever their wealth, whatever their talents.The higher they placed, the more will they corrupt public atmosphere of Canada, and de- their country\u2019s reputation.If there 8 any such» who have.not yet béen- ar- kigned, it ie time they were exposed, snd, as Mr.Emmerson\u2019 said, were put \u2018@own, down in the depths to which those \u2018who are beneath the level of true man- \u2018 hood must go.\u2019 EI z 3 President Roosevelt hes « faculty for falling out with all sorts of people\u2018 and almost invariably finding the public on his side.His latest encounter is with Mr.E.H.Harrimen, the champion borrower and watever of railway spocks.In a letter to a friend, Mr.Harriman wade the statenient that Mr.Roosevelt personally solicited him tq subscribe to the campaign funds -of the Republican party in New York, and this statement | President Roosevelt brands as \u2018a del/ber- ¢ ate, wilful untruth\u2014by rights it should \u2018de characterized by en even shorter \u2018and more ugly word\u201d Mr.Harriman asserts that he subscribed fifty thousand dollars himee¥; and secured a hundred and fifty thousand more from various .and that thie money made a was all at the insistence: of J velt.\u2018Its a lie\u2019 says Mr.Roosevelt, va, EERE and so.the fight begin.It may,| per- bape, be only the beginning of startling \u2018revelations as to \u201cthe sources of.campaign \u2018funds and \u2018their underground uses.An expository commission on this -{ subjeet, like the recent \u2018Armatrong com- miissiôn, would be fruitful in revelations if it was not conducted with a purpose of concealing them, as it is to be feared {any Republican commission would' do.i © \u2014\u2014 Mr.Hearst has been turned down very badly in Chicago.He went personally from New York to mégnify himself, and, incidentally, to assist Mayor Dunne to get re-elected.He took along with him cartoonists and editorial writers to influence public \u2018opinion, with the resnlt that Dunne has been beaten, and the Re- publicän candidaté, Bussey has been elected by a plurality of between fifteen and eighteen thousand.The election was fought, outside national politics, largely \u2018on\u201d methods: .of reforming the street railway systeme.Mayor Dunne was for immediate municipal ownership, while his opponent was for twenty years\u2019 franchises, with the right of purchase at a certain price and under specified conditions.Two years ago.Chieago \u2018elected \u2018Mayor Dunne on a public ownership ticket, but now it has evidently changed | its mind, unless it was the Hearst interference that the electors most \u2018rebelled against.The result should at least be sufficient to convince Democrats throughout the country that theirs would be a lost cause should they choose Mr; Hearst as the Democratic éandidate for president .+ cP coe 0S \u2019 The \u2018Canadian Manufacturer\u2019 while advocating bigh protection for manufacior! ers lias no uee for protection in some other respects.It seems that a bill has | been \u2018introduced into the Ontario Legislature which if pessed- will make the Ontario Association of Architects a very closed: corporation indeed.The \u2018Manu- \u2018facturer\u2019 states that i£ - the bill were Passed it would prevent many who now earn ther living by making plans from doing; so in future, and -would mean that: ome could mot erect a.coal shed .ieven-rwithout employing en: architect of the¥ssociation.This the \u2018Manufacturer\u2019 \u2018deplores, and says that \u2018this thing of \u2018making close corporations is in res \u2018traint of trade.Of course it is, and the .\u2018Manufacturer\u2019 \u2018does.right to.Sin st it is incondistent: in sap: principle of which is\\to restrain trade.| In San, Francisco, the prosecution of £he \u2018city boss, Abraham Ruef, and Mayor Schmitz has led to astonishing exposures \u2018of bribery.and blackmailing as a business system.In the first place railway, telephone and other companies and concerns \u2018bribed the boss, the mayor and the supervisors to obtain certain valuable concessions in connection with public franchises.When the facts \u2018became known and criminal \u2018proceedings were instituted against the men who had thus betrayed their trust to the corporations, Ruef turned on the bribers, who were men of high standing financially and socially, and informed them that they must bear the entire cost of the defence, or he would make revelations which would send them to states prison.He is reported to have -retained a formidable array of counsel, including several lawyers of national reputation, and that if he must \u2018take his medicine it will be only after he shall have got enormous sums .from his capi- { talist patrons to purchase lis silence.The most extraordinary feature of this situation is that this statement is published as a revelation of facts, and that everybody knows who.are the magrates \u2018referred: to, though tbe names of the companies, but\u2019 not of the, individual bribers, are mentioned.Grafting is a term which includes both bribery and.blackmail in -its meaning, and seems to be generally understdod as \u2018business\u2019 by capitalists, though a crime in the eyes of the law.Morality, both public and private, must be at a very low ,ebb where men of great wealth and the.most trusted officials conspire to rob the city, the one by the purchase, the other by the sale, of public franchises.The magnates whom \u2018Ruef is blackmailing through terror of being sent to penitentiary deserve no.sympathy and are getting none.In fact, they are more criminal than he is, for they were the tempters.The lesson is ome to warn grafters everywhere.The moral law, as the San Francisco rogues, big and little, are finding out, \u2018is as certain, sooner or later, in its operation as the law of gravitation, \u2019 - ; ; =.\u201ca - HOUSING.FOR THE PEOPLE, Philanthropy abould rule in all buai- ness; but there 6 no need of any giving away in the enterprise proposed to philanthropists by: our correspondent, \u2018Constant Reader,\u201d that of supplying apartment houses for -the wage-earning clans, seeing that the wage earners are as good pay as any other class.Build ings with such advantages as might be secured on the apertment principle could it] choose thei ir tenants, and could not but de se AE Lge TO = {do wo.With the clees of tenants that flit in the night, nobody.but the \u2018Panks\u2019 landlord can cope.The bést of land: lords is always in bad odor with such.There should be some law.however, re- .guiating such great buildings, whether built for the wealthy or for those in moderate - cireumatantes, as it is\u2019 observe the admirable purpose of Fftipg their inhabitants up into the air of heaven, it is clear that sn unlimited contiguity of such buildings would create very gloomy and ill-ventilated conditions.There à room enough in the country at large for cities to spreed in, and it should obviously be required that where such large structures -are erected the should be secured Do that neither should the sunshine and air be excluded from them nor should they exclude others.from the air and sunshine.Another obvious advantage would flow from such a requirement.Such - high buildings would become ornaments instead of being offensive to good taste.At present, no matter \u2018how fine the front, there is frequently a side wall just as manner that is common to.buildings which \u2018may at any time be built against.Such crudity more than discounts the vælme of a good front, especkally if the \u2018end wall is used for the display of let- on.\u2018stréet front.- \"These lofty \u201cbuildings are a novelty in \u2018the world\u2019s history.Experience will such districts as are used: for business; but in.places intended for.the dwellings of men.regulation ehould be in advance of, and not behind, the mischief that will obviously follow if they - are built without check: There is no: doubt that\u201d the erection of a large epartment bouse is\u2019 an injury to the adjoining property, not only by immediately.overshadowing and belittling it, but by precluding its being put to-a like profitable use.In Englind the common law protects such property.\u201cA man hae only to put up a signboard on his\u2019 own, with the words \u2018ancient lights\u201d upon which the other will interrupt his is

separate houses, in double tier, -as is the case \u2018in some districts\u2019 wnvch' we have recently described; .or else.with back premises dé the most slovenly quality, we could have a succession of people\u2019s palaces, with people\u2019s girdens intervening we should pealize the ideal condition imposed by our modern aye tem of building.But we shall probably \u201chave to wait half a century

GREAT REPUBLIC.A\u201c United States census report, just publishied, gives the population in 1905 çt the republic, including Alaska apd outlying \u2018insular dependencies, as 93,182,240.The continental population in the same year 1900 of 7,946,935.Thus it appear?thai there are between nine and ten mil lion people under the-flag who are not citizens of the republic, but governed as eubjects having no voice in the government, in plain violation of the principle \u2018laid down in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the constitution, that government derives its just authority from the consent of the governed.By a decision, based on a legal fiction, the Supreme.Court decided that the outlying possessions were not part of the United States.Thus\u2019the boasted first universal principle of American\u2019 liberty, that \u2018all men are Dorp\u2019 equal, was set aside and ~the .parrow doctrine, that only those.barn in the United States, and those of a certain complexion, are free and equal, substituted.A nation, like an individual, has: a right to revise and change its principles, \u2018The fact that the United States .has done so only shows the

met during the day to consider the situation created by the Archbishop's pastoral\u2019 putting the ban upon their place of amusement, and as a Te sult of their deliberations a delegation called at the episcopal palace in \u201cthe \u2018afternoon.The visitors did not see His Grace himself,\u201d but were received by his' representative, Bishop Racicot.After a short interview, the delegates returned to their colleagues, and in the evening a letter was sent to the Archbishop, announcing the withdrawal of \u2018La Rafale,\u201d apologizing to His Grace for \u2018having put on a play that was offensive to him, and asking that the ban placed on the theatre last Sunday be removed.\u2019 CT i Pending a decision on the part of Mgr.Bruchesi, the .management cancelled, last night's performance altogether, and commenced the rehearsal of \u2018Le Duel,\u2019 the origina] French version of the play being given this week at His Majesty\u2019s, which will be put on the boards of the \u2018Nouveautes\u2019 this - evening.\u2018The local French press abstained yesterday from making any criticism on the production of \u2018La Rafale\u2019 in their theatrical columné, and the \u2018Presse\u2019 had an editorial blaming the attitude af the directors of the Nouveautes.It said: \u201cThe French dramatic repertoire ntains hundreds of admirablé plays gainst which thére ie

yesterday, and received its third reading last night, after a lengthy discussion.\u2018There was an amendment proposed by Dr.Schaffner for a reduction on the duty on agricultural implements from 17% to 10 percent.This was defeated, as was also an amendment of Mr, Borden calling for the operation of the.intermediate tariff by parliament instead of by the governor-in-couneil.At midnight .Sir Frederick Borden brought down his annual militia budget.He stated that in 18956 the militia vote was $1,500,000, and in 1905-8, $4,300,000.The increase was due largely to the taking over by\u2018

reapers, binders, and mowers.He moved an \u2018aniend- ment reducing the duty on reapers, binders\" and mowers from 173 to 10 percent.Dr.Schafiner argued that-the changes in the tariff were in form not in substance.Regarding his own \u2018dis trict of Souris, 7,300 binders were necessary to harvest the crops, and à similar number of mowers, and a reduction of duty would be \u2018an inestimable

received from the\u2019 Montreal Water & Power Company, dated Jan.30, 1907, in reply to their request that the new council reopen negotiations for an amicable settlement, submitted their report.This report was as follows: \u2014 \u2018The committee recommends that an answei be sent to the cffect that, without prejudice to the suit between the parties now being heard in \u201ctourt, and without in any way delaying the hearing or completion thereof, might be disposed to consider with the company the discussion of the main points at isue.on the following lines: \u2018The committee, of course, adheres to: the position taken in the suit, that the pany ig bound to fulfil the existing contract, and to supply geod and wholesome water and sufficient fire pressure inthe terms of the contract, that the town must coptipue to insist that.the source of supply be a point approved a the Back River, and if any other source is offered it must be one entirely satisfactory to the town, before any modification of the contract can be agreed toe only other alternative that the.committee deem open fo consideration is the acquisition by the town of the distributing pipes within its limite and their adcessories, at their real value.\u201cThe town may be willing to accept, and to make advances upon, such of the ipes as have been laid ahd maintained accordance with the contract, upon being given \u2018possession thereof free from eñtumbrances, either immediately or (in the event of the company arranging complete the \u2018existing contraet) at the end of its term.\u2018In the former alternative, the com- ny is to continue to supply water during the time that may be necessary e town to make arrangements for obtaining a supply of water elsewhere, and in the latter alternative the company is to refrain from obstructing the town: in the right, which the town claims it possestes; of comstructing and installing; during the last two or three years of the contract, any works it may deem necessary, to be ready to completely operate a system after the term shall expire, © mene \u201cIf the above conditions are agreed to | in advance by the company, the commit tee deem that a

on Jan, 28, and Mise Mary I.Pecbles, for fractured arm, doctor\u2019s bill, etc., due to a fall on St.Cath- eripe street, opposite the Arena.A notice of suit -having been received from .Mrs, Chambers, the committee recommended that the action.be ¢ontested.RETALIATION i RECOMMENDED.Councillor Brady.drew attention to the power éecured by the city of Montreal to collect 4 tax of one percent upon a portion of the salaries of persons working in the city and living in another: municipality, providing his salary amounts to -fmore \u2018than $1,200; the amount in excess of this sum will be taxed.He wanted \u2018the council to défend the town against the aggressions of Montreal; the law, he thought, was most unjust, and if they could retaliate they ought to do so.Mayor Galbraith said that if the city of Montreal undertook to tax the.people -of Westmount, the town would have to defend itself, and could easily do so by taxing Montreal merchants doing busi- |néss in Westmount.\u2018We are not going to let Montreal or any other municipality tax our citizens and do what they like; said he.He suggested levying a tax on every delivery waggon and canvasser vins by Montreal merchants into West- mount.: -Councillor Gall remarked that as the people of Westmount had to buy many things in Montreal which were not op- tainable in Westmount, he saw no advaz- tage in taxing Montreal merchants.\u2018I'he matter, then dropped.Councillore \u2018Murph and Fetherston drew attention.to what they called the disgraceful condition of the sidewalks consequent upon the \u2018indiscriminate use of ashes.+ > R Countillor Brady declared that in his twenty years\u2019 experience of Westmount, the sidewalks bad never been in a better condition in winter.The - people were.too lazy, he said, to take a shovel or a broom and clean their walks, as the people in his ward were accustomed to do.A little elbow grease \u2018was all that was needed.: °_.So Councillor McGoun produced a deed of agreement between the town and the Ca- padiañ Pacific Railway, embodying the numerous points raised regarding :ie extension of the.railway yards in West- mount, such as provision for crossings, the closing of streets, etc.This deed, he the committee da; and was of the opinion that: ANNUAL MEETING OF ASSOCIATION For Prevention of Consumption, Being Held at Ottawa, Considering the Terrible Ravages

officers of the.Association, cven though they are chiefly doctors, were to spend one hour in an honest and unprejudiced investigation of the great work Peychine is doing, and the unassailable evidence

Annexation.MAYOR GELINAS STRONGLY CONDEMNS THE PAYMENT OF AU- COUNTS NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE COMPTROLLER.The by-law authorizing the issue of $375,000 of debentures came up for the second reading in the St.Louis Council Jast night, and gave rise to a liyely debate, in which Councillors Turcot end Godon strong] supported the proposed loan, while Councillor Neville expressed a decided preference for annexation to Montreal, giving his reasons at length.Before taking up the loan by-law the Council gave a.second reading to the by-law providing for an increase of revenue which was introduced at the last meeting.- The first clause of this by-law is to increase the property tax by one half-cent in the dollar on the value of all the taxable property in the municipality.The other clauses are to increase the tariff of personal and business taxes.provides for an issue of debentures to the amount of $375,000 at 41-2 percent interest, redeemable in forty years, Councillor Turcot, chairman of the Finance Committee, moved the second reading, seconded by Councillor Godon who, mn a brief address, insisted that it was better to borrow and have the improvements made by the Council wan depend on the Montreal corporation.Councillor Neville stated his objections to the by-law substantially as follows: The Council had not the power to borrow this large amount, as it could not exceed its borrowing limit of 15 percent of the property valuation.- In reckoning the amount of the town's borrowing power the value of property exempted from taxation by the law ought not to have been included.No revenue can be derived from this property, yet, if he understood the meaning of this by-law, it was treated as taxable property yielding revenue to the town.Before borrowing money was in favor of baving a by-law prepared to annex the town to Montreal, stipulating the conditions of the union.This by-law should be submitted to the proprietors; if acce ted, the Council would be acting in armony with the ratepayers, and if rejected, it would then be time to comsider the.necessity of passing a by-law to borrow money.He referred to the appointment of the committee of the Council which met the annexation committee of Montreal, some months ago, and to the offer of \u2018Ald.Lavallée to spend $300,000 on permanent works in two years m St.Louis and assume the liabilities of the town; and he expressed the opinion that annexation on these terms would be advantageous and should be accepted, as they were now in a better position to negotiate with Montreal than they would be after this debt is contracted.As to the floating debt, given in this by-law as being $268,000, which is to be paid off, he asked for a detailed statement.He wanted to know how, and when, it was incurred and at what time they were obliged to pay it off.There was one item of $37,000 to be paid to Mr.Vanier for plans; that item is not due until 1910, yet it is included in the floating debt.There are als other accounts which cannot be paid off at present.He wanted the secretary-treas- urer to furnish the Council with a clear detailed statement, showing how it is proposed to spend this loan of $375,000.He asked what provision had been made in the disposal of the proceeds of this Joan for the $50,000 wanted for permanent sidewalks as authorized by the Citizens\u2019 meeting.About a year ago the ex-chairman of

Councillors Jubinville, Godon, Chalifoux, Berubé and others took part, none of them favoring annexation, the By-law was read a second time and bn motion be of Councillor Turcot, referred to the town attorney, to make sure that its provisions are in conformity with the statutes., y On motion of Couacillor Berub& the recommendation of the committee: that the sale of debentures be made only by

bill for repairs to a shed which was not authorized by the comptroller.As one or two Councillors u ite immediate payment, Mayor Gelinai made some severe remarks, saying that he disapproved of such conduct and would insist upon proceeding in a legal manner in dealing with the expenditure, \u2014\u2014\u2014 ST.ANN'S NEW ORGAN._ In St.An's Church last evening the inauguration service of the new

native of the Heights, his father being a farmer in the neighborhood.Simpson lived with his wife in their cottage at a short dss- tance from his father's farm and occupied his time in butter-making, in which art he was an expert.Everything was apparently going smoothly with the family until yesterday, when Simson, Miss apparently taken with a sudden fit of homicidal mania, shot his two children, one a year and six months, and the other two months old, while they were asleep in bed.Simpson then turned the weapon, a 32-calibre- revolver, on himself and put one bullet in his head and another into his chest, before .he fell unconscious.His wile, who at ly the time was downstairs employed in the usual work of the house, was driven frantic by the sudden and awful nature of the calamity.She called at once for help.Neighbors came to the scene and Dr.Lafleur, of Rigaud, was hurriedly sent for, but when he arrived the little children's lives were extinet.Simpson was put to bed and his injuries seen to.During the night he was placed under guard.Meanwhile the authorities at Montreal ed Were notified and the removal of Simpson to the city was ordered.He was brought to the Windsor Station this morning, and taken at once in the ambulance to the Notre Dame Hospital, where he now lies in a semi-conscious condition.The gravest doubts are cn- tertained as to the possibility of his recovery.Coroner McMahon will hold ap inquest on the two little children at Hudson Heights to-morrow.0 reason whatever, can be found for Simpsonls awful deed.The family were contented is is said, and Simpson himeelf had the reputation of being an honest and sober man.Latest reports from the hospital state that Simpson regained conscious- nets at about three o\u2019clock in the afternoon, but nothing can be done to extract the bullet till to-morrow.- SUCCESSFUL ANNIVERSARY cr 5 | m\u2014 dos 24, \u2018TEMPLE OF FAME\u2019 PRESENTED BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCE IN SHERBROOKE STREET METH- -QDIST

and while I have been aware, com to me as they have come from time to time, that slanderous statements were bein made that were untrue,\u201d they have no er, whether it be every man in this have his private life exposed.° I do not know if there 18 any man within the sound of my voice, indeed, within the country, who is in a position to say that he has done no .I admit that I have had my weaknesses, I have h my foibles.Until this matter Tache the point which it has reached, I had a fact or not that ter for parliamentary discussion or for parliamentary investigation.I had felt this, at least, Sir, that the man who was without sin should be the man to cast the first stone; and while L.standing as I do before the bar.of public opinion, and as within a very few days I will stand before the courts of justice, paie L will tell the {ruth and the whole ruth, \u201cthose to e judged not by the standard \u20ac at would be set u on the a of \u201cyou are another,\u201d while I ask no mercy from that standpoint, if the standard that should be the standard of the people of the country shall govern me, and if I am unfit and unworthy of recognition in this House: or in this country, I am willing to go down.But, Sir, after het and when that question has been fought out and determined, ere is one other question that the members of this House will ask themselves, and that the people of this country will ask of this House, and it is this: \u201cAre there others?\u2019 Sir, in making that statement and in making the written statement which I have made strong enough\u2014if, indeed, I could make it strong enough\u2014as regards the statements in that paper which are untrue, whicn are false\u2014I want to be understood as going even farther and as saying that they are unqualifiedly false and that anything I have ever done either in the city of Montreal or under any other circumstances I did to protect the innocent, and I have never been\u2014mark my words, Mr.Speaker, and I make them with the full knowledge of the solemnity of the occasion, and of the dignity of my position\u2014! have never been in a hotel in the city of Montreal in my life with anybody of ill-repute.I shall take occasion, Sir, to show the accusation to be untrue, and the protection, which I have at all times afforded to the innocent I will never show to the country nor attempt to show it by building myself up on anybody\u2019s downfall.\u2018Mr.Speaker, it must be recognized, it is recognized, as a crisis in any man\u2019s life, when statements of this kind are paraded before the country, and while I almost feel a sense of relief and gratification to know that I am now placed where I can and will meet my traducers, I have been iri- the position: during the discussions in this House of not knowing whether the insinuations and inuendoes were aimed at me or not.There was seize upon, nothing that I could take hold of.| But the occasion has come, the time is now here, and I hope to be able to seize the opportunity, so that ry hand a friend and to my hand as a friend and an equal will be able hereafter to feel that he can still grasp my hand and: welcome | me as heretofore as a friend.indeed at thig à fact, that | House is willing to | not thought that it was a subject mat- | -weak human nothing tangible, nothing that I could.been able And \u201cBo far as my.politica! opponents are concerned, I have no word to say.Political life has its difficulties, its troubles and its struggles.I have known it for over a score of years;
