Sir,\u2014Ai one who has taken a deep interest in municipal matters for a n .mber of years I cannot but f-el that S\u2019- Lawrence Ward elec- Mercier, hud authority to attend to his affairs, and drew the $25,000 out of the hank aud turned it over to Mr.0 A.(ieoffriou.who acknowledges having received it.Mr.UeolFriou was the treasurer of the Lilieral campaign fund in the -Montreal di-triU.From the evidence at hand it appears that no order-in-Oouncil was passed authorizing the contract with Langlais, that there is no record ot the contract in the books of ti c Executive Council, and that the arrangement was privately conducted by Mr.Mercier and Mr.Langlais But, putting these irregularities asi'4e, the prime fact is that $.\u20195,000 ot public money seems to have been stolen and then paid into the Liberal campaign fund.No one, even on the Consei vative side, will accuse Mr.Laurier of having knowingly pro-fiwd in a political (ense by this transaction.He kn»w nothing ot the payment, good, bad or mdithrenf, nor ot any other payments, if any there were, connected with the campaign.Nor had Mr.Geotlrion at-y suspicion that the mmey thus placed in nis hands had been filched fiom the Provincial Treasury.The whole alfair is inexpressibly painful to both those gentlemen, and, we r eed scarcely add, to Liberals evei vwhere.For the present tbe (Holt is disposed to wait until those concerned ha?erpck< n, and all (he facts are before the ceuntiy.But this much it feels bound to say now\u2014thet it will denounce wrong-doing on the pari of its friends as sternly as it has denounced it on thr part of the Ottawa Tories.The duty of all decent men at this sad and shameful time is to allow nothing to stand ia the way of the condemnation and punishment of public thieves.-?- WHAT A MASSACHUSETTS CLERGYMAN DID.A Rockland, Mass , clergyman recently gave an irate teamster a lesson in kindness and in driving horses at the same time.The teamster had pounued a balky horse until be was tired, when the clergyman happened along and reproved him 4' But I have to lick him,\u201d raid the teamster, \u201che won't draw a pound unlets Ido\u2019\u2019 \u201cOb, jes, he will pull, I gt.e»s, said the clergyman ; ,4 I can make him pull \u201d And.ar ayëd in his plug hat and sober, clerical-looking suit, he stepped out into the muddy street and took the reins,while the teumster grinned, a id passers by stopped to ree how tbe amateur teamster would get along.But, says the Rucklan 1 Opinion, Ids rex tn nre ebow ed himself mas vr or tbe situation.He ssoke to the animal kindly and firmly; h» did not use the whip, nor even 6w* nr at him.In less than a minute, as soon as tbe biute found out that he was in the hands of an expert tcamrer, who was determin'd to have that load move on, Mr.Horse straightened out and walked olf as quiet as yon phase.The clergyman then s irr»ndered tie reins to th» driver, with a fewgooi na-turtd * ords of advi;e.It is to be hope 1 th \u2022 1* ssi n was no lost Hou sefur n ishi n u-s, T .-EE THE BUI.1:10 KIND OF HF.I.P WE HIVE VOU To HAVE IT LET IT BE HKHKOOM KVRNITUKE, KITCHEN FCKNITCRE.PARLOR Ft\u2019RNI-Tt'RE, HALL FURNITfKE.OR FURNITURE FOR THE HOUSE FROM CELLAR TO ROOF PICK FROM THIS.YOU U, SAVE MONEY.HOUSEKEEPERS ARB GLAD OF THE FACT THAT WE HAVE AMONG THE REMNANTS OF CARPETS.OIL CLOTHS AND LINOLEUMS ENOUGH OF CHOICE TO LET EVERY ONE OF THEM HAVE WHAT THEV W ANT LOW PRIC ES RULE-LOWER THAN THE MANUFACTURERS WOULD A.-K.H NOT THE INDUCEMENT STRONG ( REDIT GIVEN AT CASH PRICES.GARZA S MOVEMENT ENDING.Washington, Jan.23\u2014General S-'hofi*ld receiv»'! a \u2019.el-gram to-day tr*n G»neral Stanley, eotrman :ing the Depar'ment of Texa*.in ^ \u2019 ;cb he expressed tbe opinion that the Ga.a iniurreci.ou movement is a; an enl.DESPERATE TRAIN R0BBIR3.Lav*>, Mo , Jan.23 \u2014Two very bold m»i robbed t\u2019.e expre*ic»r of the Missonn Pa fi* ¦rain which re*ch*d here a- 12 Oam.Th-amo.nt taken from the #afe wa# small.TWO KILLID.Fo»r Scott.Kat?.Jan 23 \u2014Soon after the robbery a: Lamar a desratcb was r**5»iv»d s» -e to wa c .t ,r t ¦ two r>obers, slating l ist they : »! .«ft on a freight train for th:s pi* e A police»\u2022n named M L»mi>re saw the ite i g-t cJ the train, wticn arrived at 7o\u2019clc-!r, and fie i.'.lwr h of h»r».O eo' tt.» men, wh , .# 1 -ii- ve l to have \u2022 e-n one tbe tr«.n robteir, wa# sbo: and kille-i am the \u2018/\u2019-\u2022r t n '/* ly wounded.Tne wooide-1 « ia> î h» Co #rl»« Myers, of Kaoit# 0.'.-Tn» name tf tbe dead n an is no*, known CANADIAN.RKCIPROCI TV DS3AT3.LIVSLT DLCCaSION AT THI CCNBIRnASD, N.SON NAT.ON.HAtirax, Jan.K.\u2014At the nom nation o\u2018 card lau s f Sbadcw on appli ation.Trl 'Jtjl\tIIKIItKDsOA A IIENIIERMOY.c )LIO COMFORT.?d lGr.-air.« )\u201e Rra»> andiron R»dst«wls.lia,.-# ir.Matt,.EVERY DE.SCRIITION l'-d I .th»r* |i,.Furriiturf r> i nr.ul.Gnl»r# attend»*! to prraonalljr.Triepbone No.U4\u2019.'
