House OF Commons yesterday in refer
enee TO the resolutions made ir the
O'Donnell- Times suit says M far-
ne,Ts admission that his character as a

affected is very imperfect recognition OF
bis position. He places against a ,remen,
dous indictment bare and unsupported
denial, which would be as much matter
OF course from the greatest criminal az
from the most innocent man. Under
the circumstances the denial is
absolutely worthless as evidence,
even if it were made by one
whose character for veracity was be-
yond doub. and suspicion. Such char
ac,er is not borne by Dir. Perneli, who
has been convicted, as in his Cincinnati
speech, of solemnly and Indignantly
asserting what is not 4 fact. The members
of the Liberal party. from Mr. Gladstone
down 10 It's humblest follower, are called
upon either TO insist that ehectuai steps
