as be calls him, does not "allow his peo- |
pie to read" this Bible" What mo-
tive had he, then, for making the above
statement!
But Col. Stone is fearful that some Of
his readers will be too stubborn TO pin
their faith upon his sleeve, after all his
pains:
These will ask why, if the Disclos-
ures were not true, the nunnery was not
at once thrown open to the public-wby
It's doors were so long closed, and why
did silence as to those charges so long
reign within its walIs2 There are seve-
raj reasons: In the first place, the tales
were so improbable of themselves, and the
character of Maria Monk herself so utter
ly worthless and detestable, that it was not
deemed necessary to pay the least regard
to them"
A logical conclusion this, truly The
statements Of Maria Monk, were so i'm
probable, nay, so FALSE in the knowledge
Of the Roman Priests, of Canada, that they
did not deem it necessary to open the
slandered Nunnery to the inspection OF
those who believed they were true!
Concerning the interview OF which Col.
Stone speaks. which he had with Maria
Monk and some of her friends, after he had
written that account Of his visit to Mon
treal, We are authorised to say that his ac-
count of it. like what he has written of the
Hotel Dieu Nunnery. is one-sided affair
He was much agitated during the inter
view, and manifested much ignorance O
many important facts in relation 10 the case
and he was so ill-mannered withal, that he
prevented such pleasant and deliberat,
examination, as we desired
He even refused to answer some CUES
tons put to him, by gentleman present
and uncorteousl y refused to permit Mis-
Partridge to speak, when she attempted
to do so. He also declined an offer made
by some gentleman present to lay before
him important evidence upon the question
which he declares in his communication
be had settled, and then left the compapy
in apparent iIl-humor after a very super
fetal conversation, ofabout thirty minutes
: the most Of which he monopolized to him
|, SCI:
But it may be asked, what can the nc
tive Of Col Stone be, in writing and pub
fishing the communications here referee
to- What his motive was we do no
know; but we are quite confident tina

we'll as the bushels of gold" which tn
Papists in this country have to spare, whe1

THE TELEGRAPH.
BRANDON, WEDNESDAY. OCT. &c. 1885

The MILITIA SYsTEM.-What is the de-
sign Of this system? Nothing more or
less than to train men for war-to learn
them the accused art Of splitting human
blood, and destroying human life. And
what is the effect? The everlasting ruin
Of myriads Of immortal souls. The best
regulated and most wholesome system Of
military training in existence, is school Of
vice.
We had not designed to remark upon the
Governors messace discovering much in
it to approve. and some to disapprove-but
finding leading religious paper highly COM
mending tie very portion of it which we
deem to be most erroneous and hurtGul, we
feel in duty bound to speak out. The mes
sage says:
"a we'll disciplined militia has ever been
considered the surest safeguard in free
government, and 1reH deserves all The
connenddtion 1rhicA has been BESTOWED
upon it,"
The Vermont Chronicle says, in regard
to the message:
To the paragraph relating to the mill
| tia, zoe assent most heartily"
The italicising in both instances is our
own. We have not given all the CARA
graph alluded to by the Chronicle it is
before our readers and they can examine it
at leisure. Our quotation is part of tina,
paragraph. The Chronicle, then-as it
uses the most unqualified language" most
heartily assent. to all the foolish, pro-
fame, commentator which has been be-
