e-sl hand in supporting with cash the
nany Canadian political Jobs put before the
TalaraI parliament? Why should they
inns cast away the money they had risked
her liberty to steal, for the benefit of
cters2 The answer is because they, in
Arm. wished to use the politicians for their
own ends. They wished to gain a secure
foting on the rounds of the ladder of
canadian society, and they also sought to
i1gratiats themselves with the moneyed
men. SO as to have their backing in securing
sqfa investments for the money they had
bought here with them.
NO RETROACTIVE CLAUSE.
It's quite true that there are not now
as many ''boodlers" in Canada-that is,
great and small-as there were a year ago.
The discussion on the Weldon bill at the
lat session of the Canadian parliament
drove many of the smaller fry to seek more
genial Chimes But those who came with
Tell-filled purses still remain, for these,
since their coming, to certain extent, have
succeeded in making themselves part and
parcel of Canadian society.
THE VAST STOLEN SUM.
The astonishing fact is that the vast
amount of stolen money that has within a
few years been brought into Canada, not by
the great trust breakers, such as John c.
Emo New York ex-aldermen, and men of
trat ilk, but by the ordinary defaulters and
thieves who have succeeded in escaping
scot free with their plumber. At a rough
calculation the actual amount of money
known to have been brought into Canada
BY United States defaulters, reaches the
immense sum Of S10,000,000. Possibly it
nav be double that amount, but the sum
ne tioned is known as fact.
With this vast sum these thieves on the
other side of the boundary, these gentle
men without stain or blemish, who are adj
mitted to all rights Of citizenship and who
associate with the very bluest blood Of the
Dominion. on this, have secured almost con-
trolling interest in the greatest enterprises
Of the Dominion. The Bank of Montreal,
and nearly every other bapk in the coun-
try; the Richelieu and Ontario Navigation
Company; the Windsor of Montreal and
other hotel companies; the street railway !;
the Great Transit Continental Railway of
Canada, all have Oh their stock sheets the
names of United States "boodlers" whose
stock proves the estimate of S10,000,000 is
rather below than above the mark.

A MYSTERIOUS PHILADELPHIAN.
In the above long list of criminal abscon-
ders there is somewhat remarkable fact,
which, albeit, speaks well for the reputa-
ton of Philadelphia, and that is the alb
sence of the name Of any absconder from
that city. Still, am morally certain that
here in Montreal is a Philadelphia who
has gone wrong on the other side OF the ln-
ternational boundary. have met him for
the past three years almost daily, either IN
TIE hotels, the billiard halls or the theaters.
Ntlil, do not know his name, nor, appar-
entity, does any one with whom have ever
