Hero is an amusing cutting fiom a Canadian paper, which gives a political glimpse of Sir Wiltricl 1 -anrier - who is now in London. “It is difficult to see how the (dta-c.-i Government is going to stand up much longer against the onslaught •>) tna ‘Toronto News,’ now that it has unlimberod its poetic batteries ai.chs throwing metrical broadsides v. ith a deadly effect into I lie Government camp,” says the “Manitoba I‘iee Press.” “Flesh and blood can hardly lie expected to survive such lines as these, clipped from tiie latest i. umbel of the “News” to liand; Laurier! Laurier? beware of the day, When the people shall moot rbco in ballot array; . No sunset of life gives me mystuai ' lore >. ,■ • i i But coming events ca = 7 vnen snactowe before, And election results loom clear in n y sight, And Fielding and th.ee arc scattered in flight. Ha, laugli’st tliou, Laurier, my \ ision to scorn, Slick Prince of all Sophists thy plume shall he torn, For the people, indignant at thee and thy way, That would to the 1 i aulcees our country betray, Shall rise in" their fury with vials of wrath, And s weep thee forever out of their ’ path.

If this sort of thing keeps up,” adds the “Manitoba tree Press,” “Laurier may be expected any day to telegraph Brer. .Willison (editor of the ‘Toronto Nows’), ‘Cali off your poet and wo will resign. 5 ”
