Along with W11S published Hawthorn-ite’s reply thereto. Presuma|)ly, j(|j0,- of the comrades considered difference of opinion arising be-“U them to he of sufficient con-Mfuence «o attract the attention ( ,he scientific world, or to call irth cither praise or condemnation om those intellectual giants whose wisdom and keen Judgment mus^ depended upon to steer the poor norant proletariat safely through p whirlpools of tho approachingre-* lution. Mnt. at least one of these nirades was not to escape chas-ement at the hands of lynx-eyed siloni for having dared to express opinion without having first been nji-hI of its soundness by he who owoth nil things.

Now to the honor he ha*s condescended to bestow upon Hawthornthwalte Of course, inasmuch as his editorial emditeness—sounds better than editorial majesty—knew that the leaders of the “People” and the readers of the Western Clarion would not be the same persons to any great extent, it would have been the part of decency to have reproduced Haw-thornthwaito’s article and followed it with such criticism as deemed ne-vessary. It is presumably, however, the privilege of genius to hide itself behind the folds of any dirty rag that may come handy. This inclination arises purely from modesty no doubt.Ifawthornthwftite gets over two columns of honor in the “Weakly Peep” of Dec. 9th. dust what the editorial person intended to be driving at during this two columns of drivel is not very clear. It is no reproduced here for two reasons One is that, inasmuch as the “Peo pie” did not reproduce Hawthorn thwaite’s article, thus giving it: readers an opportunity to judge i upon its merits, the two columns o drivel referred to cannot be taken a.' argument worthy of rebuttal. An other reason is that we have no de sire to criticize the aforesaid drivel A reproduction of certain passage: will lie ((title sufficient.
