THE SECOND FAILURE.

Vaar General Buller’s second attempt to relieve Ladysmith has resulted in failure, is admitted. The relat ve posi tions of the opposing armies are as they

were before the second attempt was begun» —except that both are minus a number 0

good men. What’sto be done about it will be for Lords Roberts and Kitchener to decide. We anticipatea movement

from. the pointe at which General Buller Onght to bave begun operations, viz. De Aar and Colesburg. In any case, the staying qualities of the Britith soldiers will now be tested,—perhaps to the utmost. They have shewn splendid courage. The mistakes that have been made on their parts have all beem in the direction of reckleesnese. As for the Generals, history must decide, im the lightof all the facts and cenditions. Im the meantime, General Buller will probably yo to the rear. He hasa’t succeeded, and whatever his abilities and virtues may be, he must take the consequenees of bis failure.

LIFRARIES FOR FARMEES.

We direct attention to Mr. Cyrus Crosby’e paper on “The Value of Litera- ture,’ published im this dey’s issue cf Tae Examiner. Addressing hie fellow farmers, Mr. Crosby says that “our bigh- est aim should be that we as farmers should live under the best conditions pes- sible.” The “ home” cf the farmer should be bright and happy ; and there sheuld be im it ample ecepe for intellectus! de- velopment. Noone will deny that some- thing more than the erdinary'party news. paoer is needed tothis end—though the wel'-condueted newspaper is not to be de- spised. The newspaper ie indeed essen- tial in the home. But it ought to be eup- plemeated by goed books. Mr. Crosby thinks that the works of the bes: authors should te witkin the reach of all ; and ihat for this .purpese the establishment ef libraries in the various eettlements of the Province is advisable. The suggestion is one to be considered by the leading men of tue various Jocelities. It can be acted upon in any se:tlement } aod the coet at the beginning need not be great. Among the many benefits to be derived, Mr. Crosby includes a higher standard offpolitical morslity.

—The defence of the Greenway minie- ters for leaving the Manitoba treasury empty is thattheyg did not receive from the Dominion that $300,009 ot ihe school trust fands they counted on. It is remarked by the Montrea] Gazette “ that the block— ing of the acheme to get Parliament to suthorize the $360,000 gift is thue justi- fied. The school truet fund was created for the province’s achoole, net for the aid- ing of @ needy political party,”

—Mr. George Lacr, writing in the South African Review; says of tbe Boers that they are the craftiest, cruelest, most bY po- critical, most dishonest, most untruthful, most overbearing, most immoral, and moet ignorant race of white people in the world. This is not ‘a complimentary cer tificate of character. But there is no doubt about the untruthfulnese, They will bury hundreds of their killed, ard then report that the reeult of the battle was three dead and four wounded.

—Col. Steeie’s appointment to the com- mand of the Strathcona Hore is a rebuft to Mr. Sifton, who has been pulling the wires to secure the honor for his friend Major Waleh. The commander isa good military man, althougn be is not in the ring,

THEY WANT A HEARING,

Aguinaldos Counsellor Writes a

Letter Explaining Filipino Situa- tion.

New York, Jan 27.—A letter received here frem Seuor Mabini, who is believed to be the strongest counsellor of Agui- naluo and his congrers say: :

“The Philippine people do not sustain any systematic hatred against foreigners On the contrary, they receive with plea- sure and gratitude those whe really wish to co-o; erate for their |'berties and proe- perity. Filipinos continue (> fight against Americans not because of Latred, but te demonstrate that fer from looking with indifference on the political situation, they know how to sacrifice themselves fer a Government which assures indivi- dual] Jiberties and is administered in con- formity with the necessities and desires ot its peeple.

“The present state ef war does not per- mit tue people to give frank expression to & maoifesiation‘of their aspirations. Fer this reason Filipinos with ardently that the Congress of the United States sha!) hear them before deciding on their future. To this end the Filipinos aek Congress to nemivate a civil commistion, which may put itself im contact with Fuilipinoe, whe bave influence im pacific villages a» we)! as among the people under arms, or per- mit @ commissien of suck Filipinos to go to America in order to express the desires of the people.

“T hope confidently that when the Americans and Filipines know each other better, net only will the present conflict ceaee, but other future ones will be fore- stalled.”

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The Paris Exposition is to be opened on the 15th April.

—There is ene comfoct abent the war. Goldwin Smith is in faver of the Boers.

—Some of the Liberals expected ‘‘g thousand majority” in Sherbrooke, ani lost a lot of money bet upen the result.

— Aceording te a special despatch from Pretoria, it is reperted there that fourteea British officers will be exchanged for feur- teen Boer offieers. ws

that Hugh John hes foued it necessary ie Appoint a Commission to get order out of chaos.

— After the Premier and Messre Fisher and Paterson had been out in Sher- brooke, the Miuisier of Finasce and Mr. Tarte paid the constituency a special viet. Still Sherbrooke returned ap Op- position candidate.

—All the accounts of the zeal and de- votion of the colonia! cantingents on ser- vice in South Africa are exceedingly sa'is- factory, but sometimes their seldierly epirit Carries with ita epice of humor. Col. Young, the Red Croes commissioner, rela e+ the following incident, which hap- pened to him at De Aar Junction :

“[ soon found [had no chance of get- ting onto Modder River till some time next day, and, being fertunate evovgh to getup by Lieutemant Mance, R. E., in a railway carrisge he had as an office. | went back tothe train to get the v ry slight pereenal kit 1 had brought with me, While 1 was getting this a s-:ntry had been placed at the end of the train behind me, and just as darkaess fell in Il was, of coufce, challenged, and not being able to give the countersign 1 was made @ prisoner, the rentry—one of the Australian contingent, Victoria Ritlee, I think —interpreting his orders so strict- ly that, though I was in uniform, he would not let ine pase, or,” as be said “for the matter of that, the General either, if he could pot give the counter- sign.” Of coursel bad to be content to wait till an officer came for release.” The colonial volunteer was right, and it ie to be hoped the colonel appreciated the humor of the situation.

NO AMOUNT of brilliant advertising will make a fraud finally «ucceesful. Men are fools totry it. As for us we mereiy tell a tame truth aud say Adamson’s Botanic Balsam is splendid for coughs. { 25e. All druggists.

We have due on $3,000,00 worth on hand, Every piece has been gone carefully over and the price giving ticket attached. Now ladies,’ come along and see the reductions they will surprise you.

ror’ DISEASES

In his study of diseases of the nerves, Dr. A. W. Chase found that in pearly every case the cause of trouble was impro nourish- ment. About one-fifth of all the Blood in the human body is found in the brain, and unless this blood is rich and pure the nerves cannot obtain ro nourishment, and become worn out and exhausted.

It was asa food for blood and nerves that Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Food was prepared. Its remarkable success in curin all Gates arising from thin blood and impoverished nerves is proof that Dr. Chase's theory of feed- ing the nerves and blood is the proper one; stimulants only urge on the tired and worn out nervous system until there comes a complete collapse.

Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Food creates new brain and nerve ceiis, and makes the blood pure and rich. It restoresto the exhausted nerves the vigor of perfect health. soc. a large box, at alldealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co.,
