WORDS OF SYMPATHY.
The Liberal Press of the Dominion is offering words of comfort to Sir Joseph. Ward. One apologist points out that Galileo was received with incredulous jeers when he said the world was not flat; that Columbus was looked' upon as a most awful liar when he declared that, he had discovered America,; and tttiat the Dutch navigators who described, the first kangaroos were met with derision. But what has ail this to do with the subject? Surely Sir Joseph does not pose as a Galileo or a Columbus! He could better be described as tihe benevolent grandson who sought by devious, processes- to instruct his grandma in the delicate art of extracting the life-giving properties from the fruit of the domesticated hen.
