Sir Wilfrid Laurier, en arrivant a Montreal de la Coronation, dans un discours qui fui marque d’applaudissements spontanis et termine avec les fanfares eclaterent et bruyantes, notre chef a conclu: ““Messieurs les electeurs, j'arrive devant vous plein de courage et de zele pour defendre la cause du peuple canadien tout entier. “Je n'ai plus longtemps a vivre mais je soutiendrai la lutte jusqu’au bout. Quand je ne serai plus, ce sera a mes jeunes amis d’accomplir ma tache. “‘Je dis aux vieux comme aux jeunes ce que disait Henri IV: ‘‘Suivez mon panache blanc, vous le trouverez toujours sur le chemin de I'honneur et de la gloire.”’ ‘‘Suivez mon panche blanc: c'est ma chevelure de 69 ans.” THE MAN WITH THE KNIFE There is a certain member of Parliament at Ottawa—we need not harry him ty bringing in his name—who in public poses as a particular champion of public rights. But among the members of the house he is known by the nickname of ‘‘the man with the knife.” No one fears him so much as his friends. He knifes them all in turn, the minute they stand in the way of his ambition. Like Bru- tus, after each political assassination he tells the public: “T’was not that I loved Caesar less But only Rome the more.” But his friends watch him, and between themselves refer to him as “the man with the knife.” There is a man in Prince Rupert who poses as a particular cham- pion of public rights, who is fast qualifying for the title of ‘‘the man with the knife.’’ One by one he knifes all his friends, the moment they stand in the way of his ambitions. Then he turns a dolorous countenance to the public and explains that he is a great moral hero, making great sacrifices for the sake of the public. Nature has well fitted him to assume the role of the dying martyr. But his friends are iearning to watch him. They are beginning to realise that the dying martyr is a pigmy with ambition—and a knife. When he first came on the scene he announced himself as an “independent,’’ That was until he picked Mr. Fred Stork as a winner in the first municipal election in Prince Rupert. Then he turned it to laud Mr. Stork to a point of absurdity, and to abuse Mr. William Manson—Mr. Stork's opponent—in a manner that was both cruel and extremely coarse. That was in May 1910. A few weeks later the man who boasts that his newspaper has '‘‘sacrificed its business interests for the purpos« of battling for the rights of the masses’’ discovered that Mayor Stork would not give out city advertising patronage except by open com- petition. So Mayor Stork and the members of his council were promptly knifed. Last January the streams of absurd laudation and coarse and unwarranted abuse were turned on again, but in different directions. The despised Mr. Manson got the laudation; the old council got the abuse. And the moral hero who has always been ready to sacrifice his business interests, etc., got his disputed account paid, in face of the fact that the city’s legal advisers declared that it was not collectable at law. After having saddled the city with a council, which—to put it mildly—is not so competent as the previous council, our moral hero discovered that he had got in wrong. He probably saw trouble ahead at the next election for Mr. Manson and his friends. So with a great profession of super-righteousness, he proceeded to knife his colleagues in the council. Mr. Manson himself was spared.. Mr. Manson has in his gift the advertising patronage of the Provincial Government. The next to be knifed was Magistrate Carss. It is an open secret that Mr. Carss along with other gentlemen in the Conservative party was looked on as a possible nominee for Comox-Atlin. So on the eve of the campaign Mr. Carss’ political chances were assassinated by the moral hero who heretofore had kept discreetly silent on the subject of Mr. Carss. Then after going through the solemn burlesque of announcing that he had given way to ‘‘strong pressure’’ brought to bear upon him to stand as candidate for Comox-Atlin in opposition to the recip- rocity agreement, this moral hero is caught in the act of wilfully mutilating press despatches so as to mislead his readers on the ‘recip- rocity question. The facts are too damning to be explained away. They show this self-announced moral hero up in a different light. Instead of being a man of superior virtue, they show him to be but a cheap trickster; instead of a man of iron, just a painted lath; instead of a moral hero, just a pigmy with ambition—and a knife. A man in private life may pose and profess to his hearts con- tent. It is his own private business, and no newspaper has any TuEspDay, Ava. 8 “He told me, and my own heart grew cold as ice as I listened. My poor Gennaro, in his wild and fiery days, when all the world seemed against him and his mind was driven half mad by the in- justices of life, had joined a Neapolitan society, the Red Circle, which was allied to the old Car- bonari. The oaths and _ secrets of this brotherhood were frightful; but once within its rule no escape was possible. When he had fled to America Gennaro thought that he had cast it all off for ever. What was his horror one evening to meet in the streets the very man who had initiated him in Naples, the giant Gorgiano, a man who had earned the name of ‘Death’ in the South of Italy, for he was red to the elbow in murder! He had come to New York to avoid the Italian police, and he had already planted a branch of this dreadful society in his new home. All this Gennaro told me, and showed me a summons which he had received that very day, a Red Circle drawn upon the head of it, telling him that a lodge would be held upon a certain date, and that his presence at it was required and ordered. “That was bad enough, but worse was to come. I had noticed for some time that when Gorgiano came to us, as he constantly did, in the evening, he spoke much to me; and even when his were to my husband those terrible, glaring, wild-beast of his were always turned upon me. One night his secret out. I had awakened what called ‘love’ within him—the love of a brute—a savage. Gennaro had not yet returned when he He pushed his way in, seized me in his mighty arms, hugged me in his bear’s embrace, covered me with kisses, and implored me to come away with him. I was strug- gling and screaming when Gennaro entered and attacked him. He struck Gennaro senseless and fled from the house which he was never more to enter, deadly enemy that we made that night. words eyes came he came, It was a | “A few days later came the | meeting.

He had refused to yield to threats, and he had handed the notices to the police. It was resolved now that such an example should be made of him as would any other victim from rebelling. At the meeting it was arranged that he and his house should be blown up by dynamite. There was a drawing of lots as to who should carry out the deed. Gennaro saw our enemy's cruel face smiling at him as he dipped his hand in the bag. No doubt it had been pre-arranged in some fashion, for it was the fatal disc with the Red Circle upon it, the mandate for murder, which lay upon his palm.
