GLADSTONE.

Tue long life struggle of Mr. Gladstone js ended; and the sympathy of the world goes out today to tne aged widow of Hawarden. We shall not attempt to write an epitome of the career of the extra- ordinary man who passed away last night. The story of his life is too long for inser- tion in one iseue of Tae Examiner; and i*

ill be found written, ere long, ia the hietory of his country. That he made many and grievous mistakes every candid person must admit; and yet every man and woman in the British Empire, every we!l- informed man and woman in the civilized world, Jearned to regard his unadorned name and character with admiration snd profound respect. He eXtraordinary powers of body and mind, he was a scholar of ihe first order, an orator of ,the highest merit, a great statesman, a great author and he lived in an age of wonderful devel- Opwent, and enjoyed great opportnuities. But the cause ot the feeling which perva- des the globeto day is apart from al! these. It lies rather in the character of man. He was a man who sympathized with the opressed, he was a man who loved liberty, he was a man of tender heart, he was a Christian man,—and his sympathy, and jove, and tenderness, and Christianity were not of that passive kind which is expressed for the most part in words. He was active; he wascatholic. So the

whole world mourns to-day,—yet rot ga those without hope. The life of Gladstone is an inspiration tothe young men of the present and the future, and his death is in s double sense but the portal of immortal-

ity. e+ere

—The Rev. Dr. Heber Newton, preact.- ing in New York on Sunday last said :

“One thing eeems clearly our duty in this new role that seems opening before ue, that we shall draw closer than ever to our mother country. The Englishsspeak- ing ;cople of common descent, of common traditions, of common constitutional gov- ernment and democratic freedom, of a common literature and a common religion,

bas

posseseed

should make a common cause, not gel- fishly, but on behalf of bumanity. Couid the English-epeaking people

stand together, the destinies of the world wou!d be in therr hands. The recurrence cf such a crime as that in Armenia or as that in Crete or ne that now before us in Cuba,would be well nigh impossible. When England snd America together shall se eay in the presence of any wrong: “ This must stop,” it will stop. Then from the soul of the English-speaking race, which stands for peace, will be heard, with the tone of an authority not likely to be slight- ed, the sacred words of our great soldier, ‘Let us have peace.’ ”

—Tennyson’s liner, written in If have a singular interest at the present time, when the‘Anglo-American alliance js in embryo :—

Gi gantic daughter of the West,

We drink to thee across the flood. We know thee, and we love thee best,

For art thou not of British blood ? S|.ould war’s mad blast again be blown,

Permit not thou the tyrant Powers Te fight thy mother here alone,

But let thy broadsides roar with ours,

Hands all round !

God the tyrant’s cause confound !

To cur dear kinsmen of the West, my friends,

And the great name of England, round

and round!

—Itis well when the man and the hour comes along together. And that this is the case with Sir Herbert Kitchener, Britieh Sirdar in Egypt, the Soudan cam- For twelve

paign sufficiently knows. years Kitchener was a subaltern, aud lacks ing opportunity, had gained no great

reputation for brilliance. But when his change came, intrepid courage @ coolness avd self-command that no danger can rofile, indomitable energy, and a remark- able capacity for hard work were the qual- ities that marked him as a man of acticn. After his recent victory at Atbara, Europ ean critics hail him as_one of the great men of the present day.

Se

lt is reporied from London that the Laurier Government bas promised to revive the subsidy for the Chignecto marine rail- way. The news, if confirmed, will cause some surprise.

A United States cartoon represent the devil sitting at the entrance of hell, gloat- ing over an inscription to the effect that only Spanish wil! be spoken there for some time. It was a man figuring in the char- acter of a minister of the gospel whose words suggested the awfully unchristian design. In some minds, it is plain, patriot- ism and blasphemy are being confounded.

The Ottawa Free Press reports that a decree has been received at.the Arch. bishop’s Palace from Rome which forbids the use of national or state flags or the emblems of any purely secular organiza- tions in the Catholic churches while the Services are in progress.

NOTES, AND COMMEYTS.

—HKussiais buyug 4 aati Gemoany and other nations are borrowing golj; Great Britain is hoarding gold. What does this portend ?

—A report from Ottawa astetes that Messrs Mann & McKenzie are abeut to file a claim for $400,000 indemnity on account of the failure of the Yukon contraet.

—Raising’a ghost is what Literal pa- pers call the discussion in Parliament of the Manitoba school settlement. Liberals. too, it is remarked, seem to be afraid of ghosts.

—“The Owl” is a capital little magazine published by the students of the Catholic University of Ottawa. We note that the leading article for May is from the pen of Mr. T. E. Cullen, of this city. It is entitled “Some Specimens of Invective.’ We need not say that the specimens in- clude several of the best in the English language.

~-The probable successor to the Ear! of Aberdeen as Governor-General of Canada is being discussed by several of the London journals, The Daily Mail suggests the Earl of Jersey, who held a similar position in New South Wales from 1890 to 1893. He is 53 years old. The Mornisg Post again advances the name of the Duke of Leeds, who is 36 years of age, and a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire.

— The Mail and Empire points ont that our present arrangement with the United States—that carried on under the Fiel ling tariff—is unbusinesslike. We wanted free barley in return for free corn. The Gov- ernment has given free corn to our neighbors, and has left our barley subject to duty on crossing the border. It thus aims a blow at the barley grower and at the corn grower. The Government admits United States lumber free of du'y, but the United States taxes Canadian lumber when it crosses the line. This is unwise. The Conservative policy of fayor for favor is much better.

~-The jawbone of a mule, ostensibly the animal killed, according to Captain- General Blanco, by Admiral Samp:on’s gunsin the bombardmect of Matanzas, was recently received in the mail at the Navy Department. On a ‘ag attached to the bone was the address: ‘‘Admiral Sampson, Navy Department, Washington, D.C.” On the reverse side of the tag was this message: “While this weapon may be regarded by you'as obsolete, we trust that the victories won with it bv your illustrious ancestor may inspire you to still greater victories with the additional equipment you possess,”

RESOLUTION OF CONDOLENCE,

At the regular meeting of Branch 216. C.M.B.A., Charlotietown, held on tne 17th, instant, ihe following resolution of condolence, moved by Bro. A. MeVonald, seconded by Bro. James Byrne, supporied by Bro. James Mclsaac, and heartily con- curred in by President 8. R. Jeakins, was unanimously adopted : —

Whereas it has pleased Almighty God, in the exercise of his infinite wisdom, to remove from our midst one of our most worthy members, Richard. E. Moran, a Charter member of Brauch 216, together with his wife, within afew days of each other,—

Resolved that this Branch place on record an expression of sincere sorrow for the loss experienced by its members in the death at an early age of one of our most intelligent and es:eemed brothers, uoder circumstances peculiarly sad, from the fact that his wife was also called upon to give up her youthfal life in less than a week after her husband’s demise.

Further resolved, that we convey to the doubly bereaved families and friends of our late lamented brother and his wife, our deep sympathy in the sad affliction which has overwhelmed them with grief.

Moutrea! Gazeue : Talk of an extra $500 in the amoun: of the sessional indemnity of members of Parliament continues to come from Ottawa. As this Parliament is out~ doing all its predecessora in its general exs penditure it wonld be in keeping that it should pay itself ia accordance with what it thinks good for others.

Montreal iGazeite : Judging by histories of tue Cuban rebellion that are appearing the patriots had abouta dozen different ways of setting fire to sugar cane planta- tious, most of them successful. The wrong people are being pun'shed when the loyal Spaniards are bombarded for cau-ing starvation on the island. The blame should be shared by the crop burners,

WATCHES

HE watch trade has been T rather fluctuating of late, first the priee went up, after

a long period of low prices, now the prices have dropped again, whether because of war or greater variety of preduction we cannot say, but the fact re- mains that you can buy from us a reliable timekeeper cheaper than ever before, in fact that there is no need to buy shoddy _oods at all,

If you waut a gocd the cheapest watch for the money, we reccommend a good movement in a nickel case instead of a poor one in a fine looking colored case that wili only wear a very short time.

Soliciting a sbare of you patronage, we remain, Yous respectfully,
