WHEN ISITT TALKS!!!

1 THE lIOI'SE LWCHS. I Weilingvon. Aug. 21. Mr-. Isitt excelled himself in extravagant vituperation in the Hourc yesterday. He commenced his speech on the Budget by characterising the editor of the “Dominion” as a “lurid I pervertcr of the truth, and ccm- ! plained of a statement in the “Do- | minimi” to the effect that he (M - . i Isitt) was going to move a no-eomi-!dence mot’on. The statement, )<; ! said, was without foundation. The j paper had done this to make him I ridiculous in the eyes of his constitu- ! ents. that he was a joke. I An hon. member: So you are. i (Laughter). | Mr. Isitt : Such journalism is i i disgrace to the party it aided and of | the couuir.v in which it exists. j Mr. Isitt then referred- to the ‘ Massey Ministry a.s having been bci gotten by slander, shapen in intrigue, and horn in dishonour. He was ' sternly reproved by Mr. Speaki i who said : “The honourable meinI be>-’s language is now going beyond j bounds. ’Dishonour’ is not a proper I term to apply to any set of men.” I (Hear, hears). ! Mr. Buick (Palmerston), who I spoke after Air. Isitt, said Mr. Isitt I had told them that he had nothing i but ginger ale that night. It must [have been the froth that lie had (given them. It might have improved j his speech had he put a little j whisky in it. (Laughter).
