NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Lord Kitchener is reperted to bave said that the progress of the war will be

P slow but sure.

— We hold over a quaatity of editorial matier to make room for a number of very interesting letiers from South Africa.

—The Moncton Times remarks as a healthy sign of the times is the activity in Conservative organization is Quebec pro- vince. Whatever is done in the bye-elec- tions there ia no doubt that when the gen- eral appeal to the people comes it will find the Conservatives prepared to make a stiff fight all over the couniry.

—Pau! Kroger is a “cute.” He has the Free Staters placed in the forefront of the battlethat they, instead of the Transvaalere, may bear the brunt of his conflict. ‘Then he cheers up the Trans- vaal forces by minimizing the Jossea. On Christmas day Transvaal women sent messages to husbands and sone who had been dead for weeks.

—Genera) Gourko recently left Mar- seilles for South Afriea on the steamer Natal. “ I am not going out alone,” as~ serted the General. “Iam accompanied by several officers who will rejoin me at Port Said, where, | may inform you, 30 members of tbe Russian Red Cross Society will embark on the Natal. You may take my word that there are thousands of Russians now fighting under General Joubert.”

—The feeling of the British people in South Africa is expreesed by the Cape Times, which says the English ask for no supremacy a9 apart from the Dutch. What we do insist upon is the supremacy

of the British Crown eecuring equal right to English and Dutch, aud to all civilized men who east in their lot

with the English and Dutch of South Africa. On the other band the eluim is for a Beer demination under which the rights of civilized men are trampled up der foot

—It isdeplorable to find that Sir Wil- liam Meredith’s observation thet Canada ought to pay for the contingents has hurt the feelings ot Mr. Tarte. That amiable Minister of the Crown intimates that the Chief Justice has dabbled in politics to help the eause of Sir Charles Tupper. We fear that Mr. Tarte is ecarcely re- sponsible for his atteraucee. It Sir Wil- liam’s remark helps anybody it helps Sir Wilfrid to do the right thing. Itis a question upon which there ought to be no party division,

Premier McDonald of Manitoba has be- gup his career as Premier with a practical refermation. He found the province with five salaried ministers and has reduced the number to three. He himself takee, in addition to the duties or premiership and the railway commeissionership, those of the Attorney-General lately performed by Mr. Cameron. Mr. Davidson takes Mr. Green- way’s portfolio of agrioultur together with that of provincial secretary, lately held by Mr. McMijlav, The departments held by Mr. Wateon and Mr. Mickle are both as- signedto Mr. McFadden.

WAR NOTES.

Treason trials are proceeding at Cape Town.

The Boers, according to Kaffir ran- ner, bave absolutely no flour or bread of spy sort. They live entirely on meat,

The embargo at Delagoa Bay upon Transvaal imports is the question of the hour with tbe burghers. If this be not removed, it is aseerted that steps will be taken prejudicial to prisoners and aliens.

Reports from Colesburg repreeest the positon thera as favorable to the Burg- ers , but that the British are concentrat- ing for operations os a large scale.

Porifolios found by the Boers after General Yule’s retreat from Duade e are said to contain eketch maps of the routes for an invasicy of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State from Natal, one of them signed by General Buller.

Mapvy of the wives of the Transvaal police, whose breadwinners are away at the front, have been looting all the China- men’s stores in their neighborhood in order to get their daily bread.

The Boers, after looting at Weenen, a few miles due east of Frere Camp. satu~ rated the grass and pools in the vicinity with arsenical poison, and 100 sheep and cattle have in consequence died.

General Wauchop2, who was killed at Magerefontein atthe head ofthe High- landers, is said to have had a permonition of bis fate. The Edinburgh Despatch states that when he was saying ‘“‘good-bye” to some of his most intimate friends on bis departure for the seat of war he let slip the remark that he did not expectto come buck again.

Archbishop Gauthier of Kingsten eub- ecribed $25 to the Kingston patriotic fund for her batterymen of the second contin-~ gent, and gave the men his belessing. La Semaine Religieuse does not count much agaivet that sort of thing.

Sr. James’ Cavron.—The annual meet~ ing of St. James’ Church was held last evening. Reporte submitted from all brancbes showed that mueh valuable work had been done, and that a large measure of success had crowned the work of the church. Touching reference was made in the reports of Session and Trus~ tees to the absence of Rev. Mr. Fullerton. The Session expreesed their bigh sppr - ciation of the loyalty of the congregation to their absent pastor, and deep gratifica- tion that the confidence of the whole com munity as well as of the Governmm nt aud the church at large in Mr. Fullerton had been so abundanily justified by the letters from the front. The amounis which pasted through the hands of the different departments reaeked a total of nearly $5,500. Hearty votes of thanks were given to the choir and te the janior Organizations whose work had been to successful. Mr. Jehn Macpherson oc- cupied the chair and though his admirable mangement ow@ of the most harmonious aod successful meetings in the history of the congregation was brought tea clece at ao unusually early hour

TORONTO TO THEFRONT

Splendid Showing made by Dodd’s Kiduey Pills in Queen City.

a

Toronto, Jan. 16.—It is interesting to note that this city, the headquarters of Dodd’s Kidney Pills in Canada, and tbe place where they were firet diecovered, keeps well in the front as regards the number of those cured in the towne and cities otf Ontario. As Dodd’s Kidney Pills have since made friends ali over the civilized world, this fact ie of wide and significant interest, showing that Dodd’s Kidney Pills retain their holdon public eeteem purely on theirtried merits.

Alexander Brown, 119 Elizabeth Street, eays:—“] have been troubled with Kbheumatiem for three years, also with pains in my back. I have tried several remedies, but conld not get any relief. I have used two boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills aud am now a well man.”
