THE “BLUE GLASS” CURE FOR THE SICK CHILD.
THE SECRET SERVICE DEPARTMENT
After the accession to power of the Mackenzie Government it was found that a balance to the credit of the secret service fund had been chequed out of the Bank of Montreal by Sir John A. Macdonald, although that gentleman was no longer in an official position. Sir John declined to make any explanation of the matter on the ground that the disposition of secret service money was a matter that no one had a right to enquire into. The affair gave rise to a great deal of discussion, but, although Sir John’s position was generally regarded as unsound, no official action was taken in the matter.
