The Orange Society, to whose teud with the
Catholics the troubles are due, is not native to
Canadian soil, but mas been transplanted hth-
er, with all its bloody history, its association
with the wrongs and the warfare OF bygone
age, from Ireland. A man still living claims
to have brought to this part of the New World
the first Orange charter, and he is person
of VIGOROUSLY bad character, rejoicing IN the
name of Ogle r. Gowan. He is said to have

Orangemen, whose organization is as much
aggressive as defensive, whatever they may say
to the contrary, the Catholics are not much
less guilty OF indiscretion in council and vio-
lence in action. They are led in this matter
