NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Tue Queexy—God bless her.

—Tue Examiver will not be morrow.

—A negro captain and a negro lieuten- ant recently took the oath of officers of the army of the United States and have gone intoactive service as auch. The event is sufficiently remarkable to be spe- cially noted.

—It is pleasing to note that the Anglo~ French dispute has been amicably settled in so far as Africa isconcerned, We regret that the Newfoundland Shore diffi- culty has not yet been disposed of.

—Advices at Montreal state that $25,. 000,000 will be brought out ofthe Klon- dike country this spring. The bulk of this wealth, it is reported, is owned by between 100 and 125 men.

—From 4 military point of view the Spaniards had the best of the Vargain when they exchanged two newspaper men whom they made prisoners, for a colonel and a surgeon whom the Americans had captured’

—Referring to Mr. Gladstone, the Countess of Aberdeen, who knew him intimately, says that “Duty, duty, duty, in al) he did or said, and under aj) circum-~ stances, was his firet thought. His watch- word was indeed “Faithfu! unto death.”

issued te~

—The Americans, whilst fighting Spain, ere cot relaxing their competition with Britain. An important order for a first- class battleship and a first-class cruiser has been placed ty the Russian Govern-~ ment with Messrs. Cramp, of Philadelphia. The batileship is to be of 12,500 tone dieplacement, and to havea speed of 18 knots, Thecruiser is to be 6,100 tone displacement, and to have a speed of 23 knots) This isthe first order of such a character ever placed in the United States,

—Bismarck says it is a mistake to call Americans Saxons. Theirs is a mixed blood .- British, Irish, German, French and Scandinavian. The Anglo-Saxon does not even predominate to-day. This dwell~ ing on so called race interests is nonsenee in politics. Look at the Russo-F'rench agreement and the Dreibund. Politics are not dictated by such far-fetched sentimen~ talities. “Germany’s duty plainly is to maintain her imterests by carefully nurs- jing the good reighborship of the Europeaa nations.”

—Referring to recent fairly reliable sta- tistics which place the military force of the Cuban rebels at some 3,000 men, the Chicayo Chronicle refers to the “roseate accounts of the cheerful Cuban Junta fab- ricators,” in anything but flattering terms, and the Montreal Gazette remarks. “The United States enthusiasm for the war is likely to be more for war’s sake than for the Cuban causes thereof when the facts of the rebel case come to be exposed and contrasted with the statements in regard thereto. If Key West had been inhabited by a trathful community there might have no war.”

—Discussing the proposed Anglo= American alliance The Criterion, a high» class journal, of New York, says:

* A mutually satisfactory addition to our territory, such as would come of the exchange o: the Philippines for New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, would be the jdea! beginning of a comity which would leave the United States free 10 make an alliance that would be lasting. In this way Cavada could, by becoming American, be a hundred times more service to Eng- land than she can be in ber present ruled-~ off relations with the world.”

We quote this as showing what ridicu~ lous notivn€ some intelligent minds are

“cay able of entertaining.

— Lord Salisbury, in referring to British prestige, and the alleged damage it has recently sustained, recently remarked : «Fifteen years ago we were defeated in Egypt, and our influence had sunk so low that there aeemed no chance of reviving it. Since that our prestige had been restored. The work was not yet done and would Le

erformed by no laggard hand. Burma Pad been added to the Empire, and men like Mr. Cecil Rhodes and Sir Gerald Portal, who were animated by the spirit which led to the foundation of the league, had given vast territories to the Empire. These naines (which were greeted with cheers) he mentioned as indications that the Imperial spirit was the possession of no one party. We might be proud, he added, of living in an age that had produc- ed euch soldiers aa Sir Herbert Kitchener and Sir William Lockhart, and adminis trators and diplomatiste like Lord Cromer and Sir Claud Macdonald.”

—Those of our independent farmers who

yoted for the Liberals because they thought the Conservatives extravagant avd vecause they believed the Liberals’ promises that they would be economical monst be chargrined over the result of the first two years of Liberal rule. For the year 1897-98 there was esti-~ mated a total ordinary expenditure of $39,166,878. This amount was larger by $150,000 than the total expenditure of Canada for similar services in any previous year of ber history. It was larger by ups wards of two million of dollars than the expenditure of the denovnced Conservatives in the year 1895-96. It was larger than the amount expended by the Conservatives in the year of the North West rebellion, the cost of which was taken out of the consolidated fund. But large as it was, it was not large enough to meet the liberality of our Liberal Gov- eroment, and this year a further amount of $172,909, was voted in the form of “‘sup~ plementary eatimates” for the year, besides an additional sum of $1,460,354 on account of capital. In this regard our farmers have been grossly deceived by the Liberal leaders.

Reena eee eee eee eae ee reer TRIBUTES TO GLADSTONE. } ADDRESS AND ie

lu ice lwusest Commeuus on Friday last Sir Richard Cartwrignt, in the absence of Sir Wilfrid Laurier called attention to the death of Hon. W. E. Gladstone.

All nations were thinking of this event. For nearly four genera- tions Mr. Gladstone’e name had been

a household word. Fora long period he had been one of the most prominent men in the council of the nation. No death since that ot the Duke of Wellington has attracted so much attention in the empire.

Mr. Gladstone was perhaps the greatest parliamentary orator of this century but he was

much more than that. He was slways ready te lift his voice for the oppressed of all nations, and has continued to exercise his great influence on the public mind even down tothe last days of hie life. While 21] nations were paying tribute, this house might well join ite expression. He proposed a committee to draw up @ reeo!l- ution, naming Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Louis Davies, Sir Richard Cartwright, Yon. Mr. Mulock, Sir Charles Tupper, Sir A. P. Caron, and Mon. John Costigan‘ Sir Charles seconded the resolution, observing that he was eure Sir Richard rightly interpreted the calling of the house. Mr. Gladstone was probably the most con- spicuous man of this century. Nature endowed him with the highest faculties and his indomitable energy had made the greatest use ofthem. No man of his time bad such a full knowledge, covering so wide a range of subjects. The posi-~ tion he occupied was such that 00 man’s views were more _ studied and no man’s actions more closely watched, Hlis transcendant position as an orator was universally admitted. Tc speak the truth aud feel it was said to be the requirement of an orator. From his own experience Sir Charles could testify that one could not hear Gladstone, even though he disagreed with him, without feeling that what he said he believed from the bottom of his heart. This house would join with tke people of all countries and nations in ex- pressing sorrow that Mr. Gladstone’s long and useful life had been brought toa close. The resolution was adopted.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES. Mail and Empire: It appears that Sir John Macdonald wanted to give a prefer-~ ence to British goods, but the Imper. ial authorities asked him not to do so until the obstruction treaties were removed. Mr. Dobel! is authority for this statement, ske he knows, or at leas! he says he does.

Montreal Gazette: “The 28th of this month is now epokev of as the date of prorogation of Parliament. The public will likely be as glad as the members if the expectation is realized. General in- terest in the proceedings has almost ceased, and it would be difficult to recall a sessiun that awakenek eo little concern. The over belauded Government has been quietly spinning its self-executionary rope, and the country has been content.”

The Paris Figaro hasa peculiar passage extracted from the Comte de Beust’s book entitled “Le Dernier des Napoleons,” which appeared in 1870. M@he author, after | blaming Europe for remaining simple spectators of France’s oppression in 1870, says:— “Europe, entire, will suddenly see the American eagle, after having ravished the Queen of the Anti|les from Spain, begin to meddle with her affairs, and weigh down witb redoubtable beavinees the monarchi-~ cal destinies of little old Europe.”

Mail and Empire: Mr Tarte has just spent $50,006 for eidewalks around the

Parliament buildings. He is to follow this up with an éxpenditure of $10,000 for a greenhouse~— flowers for M inisterial d:nn. r tables, you know. Then $17,000 will be

apent cn the garden ®{ Rideau hall, and $14,000 in building a stone fence at one end of the city park, where no stcne fence

is needed. Meanwhile the outside shell of the Western block is being pulled dowa and rebuilt and by iay

labour, and the roof of this bleck, which was burned off sixteen monthsago, is to come. For sixteen mouths they bave been working on this roof, and there is nota sign of it yet. Ottawa will look nice by the time Mr. Tarte gets through with it.

Gladstore’s Horsemanship.

The famous American horse tamer Rarey, when he was in England, spoke of Gladstone as one of the finest and boldest rders he had ever seen. Ouce when Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, he was taking his usual ride in Hyde park on ao spirited young horse, the horse plunged and ran away, got off the ordivary track of riders, and came along a spread of turf divided by rails and gateways of slender iron. [t went straight over one of the gateways. Glad- stone was deter.nined to get the better of that horse. The moment the horse bad leaped the gate the rider turned him round and put him at the gate again. Again and again he topped it, and again his master turned him and made him goat it once more,and surmount it yet another time. So it went on until the horse was fairly but very harmlessly conquered, and the rider was the «upreme victor of the day.

A MOTORMAN’S VICTORY

Over Diabetes, Gained by the Power of Dodd’s Kidney Pills.

Toroxto, May 23—In a large city like Toronto, there is always much sickness, kidney diseases Jargely predominating. The street railway employes, exposed aa they areio allthe inclemencies of the weather, are particularly liable to kidney disease. But they all know how to conquer this enemy.

For instance; Mr. T. H. O’Reilly, 27 Niagara Street, motorman No. 624, was for three years a great sufferer from Diabetes. Every reniedy failed to help him, tll he began to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Three boxes cured him.

It ie cases like this, where the patient and the cure are equally well known, that are the test ofa remedy, and Dodd’s Kidney Pills nave always stood it success- fully. They cure all kidnev complaints.
