Mr., Bryant Is now seventy. mine years old

prolific in compositions Of the highest order
than the eighth decade Of time through which

Government paper, spoke as follows In re-
gard to the investigation Of the charges

though we are not In a position to state what
will be the character of the tribunal before
which the charges made against the Govern

readers that tribunal has been prepared,
before which Mr.. MeMullen, George Brown,
Sir Hugh Allan, and every other person con.
nccted with the Infamous Pacific SANDER

VIII possess the entire confidence Of the peo-
pie OF Canada, and none will dare attempt to
escape from Its clutches. That at the proper
time the character and honor of the Govern

falsehoods OF their accusers satisfactorlly and
conyinclngly brought to light, Is as certain
as that the Government Ia entirely Innocent

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Of West
morcland county, Virginia, struck the Con-
servativc party of that State square In the
face in the resolutions adopted a few days
ago. To summarize, they accused the Con-
seryativcs Of cndcayoring to array the white
race against the black; Of having "destro ycd
the credit of tho State, deprecated the value
OF bonds, neutralizcd the best features of the
State constitution, driven of immigrants
from our soil, and forced many OF our best
ana most useful citizens into bankruptcy and
ruin" And yet, in the face of this, the Rich.
mond Wig has the efIronterr to say, 'IIere
In Virginia, where the Conservatives have
had control, the interests Of education are In
the highest degree prosperous" Imagine
how prosperous must be the condition Of edu-
cation In a country where the average salary
Of u teacher is $40 per month, as 1t Is under
Conservative rule in Virginia.
