THE MOKAU DEAL.

The shareholders and Directors of tibe Mokau Coal Company think that the charges' against- the Government ian respect to Mokau are entirely untrue, and a disgrace to party politics. That settles It. Presumably the trust-mongers in America think that the action of President. Taft and Jiiis predecessor are a disgrace, anything that attacks private speculation or private gain vs a disgrace. fividentl.y the shareholders and directors are not aware that a Oomanittee of the House has l investigated the matter, and that this* Comimdttee, though composed largely of Governirueaut members, admitted that statements of the position made by Mr ftLassey were true. It al depends upon the point of view. His Satanic Majesty would not be likely to ?x----pre- an adverse opinion concerning the climatic conditions of his abode. And it would be absurd to suppose that interested parties' would see anything wrong m their transaction. Ais a - matter of fact there is nothing wrong in what Mr McNab and Jus Company have done. The wrong >s all with* the Government in allowing, the land to pass into the hands ot speculators.
