III Justice to ourself, as an honorable
journalist, we will at some future day
explain the causes which prompted us in
making the cut-throat bid to do the ,cork

is delayed but not defeated.

the approach 81 spring.
While we do not remember to have
seen in the Herald tue announcement
we spoke of, it was certainly made
by the Capito1ia4 or the Aduocate, or
both, and we took it for granted the
information wac correct. It is to be
regretted that subsequent develop
ments have demonstrated that the
l,tll in the exodus poEement was only
