FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

W. T. Stead’s weekly ‘paper, ‘‘War Against War in South Africa,” is ap- pearing regularly in Eng'and and he is not tarred and feathered. ‘War Against War,” if published anywhere but in England would be pointed to as the bitterest thing on exhibit against Great Britain. The principal cartoon the last number represents in the blue field, and the “Might is Right.” This “The Meteor Flag of England.” the standing heading of the paper

rogue with enormous hands, greedily grasping the Transvaal gold fields. The literary matter is in keeping with the pictures. ‘The Boers are repre- sented as a simple, God-fearing, gen- ezous, noble people—the salt of the earth. The Transvaal government is not only defended but eulogized. Charges are hurled at the British government which, if made against a private individual, would be criminally libellous. British troops are accused of treachery, cruelties and wilful vio- lation of the Geneva convention. It is assumed as a matter of course that the war is waged by Britain for no other motive than to grab the gold fields. The articies are written in a strain of frenzy which suggests in- sanity. Nothwithstanding the on- slaughts which have been made in Britain upon a few pro-Boer meetings, the toleration of such a paper as Stead’s is a powerfu! proof ef the respect of Britons for the right of free speech. As to the oc casional violence shown against pro- Boer or rather anti-war gatherings, it has bcen rare; and there are thirty-five million people in England and Scotland, so that but for Mr. Balfour’s extraordinary and we think most un-Brit:th refusal in parliamen: to condemn the attacks on anti-war meetings, Britaion could have but little reproached indeed for an} spirit of antagonism to freedom ov!

been

speech. but the tolerance of Stea¢ weekly, whose office would long a. have been -smashed in either the

United States or Canada, is that the common sense and broadmind edness of the vast majority of Engiish- men happens to be something better than Mr. Balflour represents in thls particular connection.

‘Not in the statute book,” comments the Hamilton Herald justly, “is to be found the best guarantee of freedom. It is to be found in the enlightenment and tolerance of the people. It may be that in England Stead is regarded as a crank who is too insignificant to notice. But it requires a self control- ed, enlightened good-humored public to endure patiently a noisy nuisance like him, and the fact that he is allow- ed to go his own way and say his own say in peace, none caring to interfere with him, is splendid proof of the high tone of public opinion in England.”

A CANADIAN EDITOR IN THE YANKEE WEST. The Schurmans of Bedeque are a gifted lot of people. They have taken high positions in the neighboring Re- public, and are well

in which they act.

Mr. Charles. S. Schurman, formerly of Summerside, is now the brainy and gifted editer of the Times, St. Paul, Minn. Since he has been in the edi- toral chair, Mr. Schurman, even in the pro-Boer region in which his paper cireulates, has not been afraid to de- fend his mother country from the charge against her of prosecuting an unjust an indefensible war against the Boers in South Africa.

It has been hinted to him on more

It weuld be delighted to have some of the Boer sympathisers tell me what Oom Paal Kruger and his so-called republic have ever done for the betterment of his own or any other peoples. I would| be delighted to know when they gave the glad hand to the missionaries, or any other than the Dutch church. I would be pleased to know when _ they ever showed any signs of believing that the negro had any rights that they felt bound to respect. I would like to know where a people who had signed a treaty which saved them from exter- mination, and went home and deliber- ately made plans and levied taxes to make war upon the power that had be- friended them, is a people to be trust- ed, even though they do read Psalms before breaktast, and offer prayer to the God of battles between volleys.

I would like *o know in what parti- cular the British are unreasonable in their contention that the Uitlanders who pay about go per cent. of the taxes should not have a voice in the governmert of the country—-some say as to how the money which they pay in is to be spent. It puzzles me be- yond solution how an American with the history of his own country’s struggle with foolish old King George III. fresh in his mind, can take sides against the very same principle when contended for by others. But there are a thou- sand excuses for Americans when tak- ing that stand, which do not exist for Canadians. We have onr_ copper- heads with reference to our trouble in the Phillipines, and I am sorry to know that Canada, my native home to which I have atways looked back with pride, has also those who profess to be- lieve that they cannot follow the Old Union Jack wherever it goes on its civilizing and Christianizing mission.

“CHILBLAINS CURED, —

There is Gnly One Remedy That Will Give You Instant and Perma- ment Relief From Chilblaing, it is Griffiths’ Menthol Liniment,

A well-known druggist of Toronto says: I believe every person who ever suffered from chilblains should know how quickly they can be cured by Griffiths’ Menthol Liniment. When reading the circuiar that comes around the bottle, I saw Griffiths’ Menthol] Liniment recommended for chil- blains. I tried it, and the relief was al- most instantaneous. I have since frequent- ly recommended it to my customers for this, and they tell me it did just the same for them. I can highly recommend it,

Struggle Ketween

It is understood that the commitee of the British Cabinet, which has been deliberating on the political future of South Africa in general and of the Boer republics in particular, has already arrived at an agreement on the several points of principle, including the cre- ation of anew vice-roya!ty. The settle- ment will provide for a yovernor-gen- eral of the whole of South Africa on Canadian lines, with a House of Com- mons sitting at Capetown, and legis- lative assemblies in the various provin- ces, including the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, after a period of political probation. Field Marshal Lord Roberts will have the first offer of the governor-generalship and will re- fuse. The post will not be offered to Sir Alfred Milner as has been suggest- ed. He will, in fact, be recalled. Poli- ticians expect that the new viceroy

will be Lord Reay, a peer of ability and administrative experience, with al-

It's a simple matter to test the kidneys. You need not consult a doctor. By asking yourself three questions you can determine whether or not your kidneys are deranged.

First: ‘‘ Have you backache, or weak, lame back?’

Second: ‘' Do you have difficulty in urinating or a too fr nt desire to urinate ?”

Third: ‘* Are there deposits like brick dust im the urine after it has stood for twenty-four hours 7’

In its earlier stages kidney disease is readily cured by a few boxes of Dr. Chase’s Kidney- Liver Pills, a preparation which has made Dr. Chase famous throughout the world for his wonderful cures of diseases of the kidn
