"GONE AwAY"--.YGRlCKs! TALLY HO!

/ "GONE AWAY"---YCRlCKSl TALLY HO!
There is no doubt that after hav-
ing carefully prepared a grievance,
it is very hard to find that no griev-
ance exists. 1t is one of those cases
which might bring tears to the eyes
of brass monkey and make even
crocodile weep. Such seems to be
the position of the nameless CORE
spondent in our evening contempo-
rary who undertakes to try and
answer our editorial of last Tuesday
upon the coming election. The
nameless effusion was evidently
meant for an editorial, but our con-
temporary could not father it and
clapped communicated on top.
The writer starts out on "hunt
for opposition" to the present min
istry and after following a blind
trail or two, finally comes to the con-
clusion that the opposition will come
from ''moneyed clique" Whom
this clique may be composed of, he
fails to show. 1t is some intangible
bug-a-boo which he believes lives
in our editorial rooms. He will
have very hard "hunt" to
find it He acknowledges that
the ministry have made the !
present restriction act operate |
to the total exclusion of Chinese" |
but says anyone knows that they |
cannot keep this up indefinitely. let |
alone carrying more sailn without |
coming into collision with the afore
mentioned bug-a boo.
Now, if this bag boo exists, upon
the writer's own showing, it must be
a small one; and if the grievance"
about Chinese is not caused by the
action of the ministry, why the min
istry must have large following
behind them which will enable them
to keep up exclusion and ~carry
more sail.n The writer acknowledges
that the ministry have been doing
what he wishes them TO do, but is
afraid that at some future time they
will not be strong enough to con-
tinue TO do So The logical conclu-
sion to all this is for the writer to
throw his vote for the ministry and
help strengthen their hands. 1t is a
very simple matter. The ministry are
doing right, give them every oppor-
tunity to keep on. The ministry are
thoroughly independent men, and
have shown their grit often enough
to prove to the country that they
will not and cannot be bulldozed by
any clique, moneyed or moneyless
The writer should let US know
more definitely what his platform
really Is O1t of the wordy mass
he has produced it is impossible to
pick out what he really does mean.
He appears like the immigrant at
Castle Garden, who, hearing that
he Great Republic had a govern 7
nent. at once stated I'm agin it"
he is -agin" the Cabinet because it ]

policy of "Chiness exclusion" !
With one statement in the "com-

news on the question have been c
most vigorously expressed and Mr.
rhurston Is not a weather cock to
lightly change We think those

laying put their hand to the plough,
Tew somewhat weary Of the work,
md saying they considered all safe,
Iuietly vent to take their own plea
