THE TALE OF WOE

At Mosgiel last evening his speech ittaiialy consisted, as usual, of a long string of complaints against the treatment ho receives at tho liaiids of his opponents., arid the same old array of well-worn notes of admiration concerning tho achievements of Gkkv, Romance, and Seddox. It is a lit Lie unfortunate. that Slit Joseph Wapd cannot see thiit ho invites comparison of his own feeble altitude to-day with that of the "giants of Liberalism" whose achievements ho drags into such prominence in the hope that he may shine in their reflected glory. _ His own followers must be growing very weary of his doleful tii!'- of woe.
