A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Ir ia explained that Lord Salisburv’s “halt” in the Soudan is due to “ lack of moaey,” which the Egyptian Government wil! not advance aud which Lord Salisbury is unwilling to eupply from the British Treasury without the sanction of Parlia- ment. The British Premier is undoubtedly right.in respecting the uawritten constitu- tion which arms the Commons with absolute authority over money graats. It is hoped that his notable example in this regard will be followed by the numerous Liberal Governments of Canada.

THE WUDSON BAY ROUTE.

Tue return of the Hudson Bay «xpedi- tion has been announced. But litle infor- mation coucerning it has been given the public. . It is stated that the ice in the bay and strait presented no difficulty after the 15th of July. Commander Wakevam planted the British flag on av island lying off Baffin’s Land, where he found a num- ber of Scotch whalers who eatertained doubts as to what nation the island belong- ed to,and he says that the peop'e there are now satisfied on that point. He states, further, that the present charts of Hudson’s Bay and Hudson’s Straits are unreliable. Allofthem show islands which do not exist, and islands which do exist are not mentioned. Tides are very heavy and the season short, with the summer days very long. When the Diana started for home enow was falling heavily in the bay and straits.

THE MISSION TO WASHINGTON-

Tue mission of the Premier and Sir Louis Davies to Washington has naturally attracted a great deal of attention,—not unmixed with some alarm. It is pointed out by the New York Times that the official visit of the “Premier of Canada to Washington i3 quite unprecedented.” That a representative of a Colony qithout any credentials or authority from the Imperial Goverament should, of his own motion, betake himselfto settle an intercationa question, is certainly,the New York Time declares contrary to all traditions of the Imperial policies. “It is quite certain what- ever view may be taken of Laurier’s action in Downing street, that he will be very welcome in Washington. His friendship for this country is well known. If he could have secured such commercial arrangements as he desired to secure with us, he would not bave needed to make application to England aod the German treaties would not have been denounced.” While this is the attitude of the American preas, the press and politicians of London are reported to be deeply concerned lest Canada should be inveigled into an agreement with the States involving discriminations against Great Britain, Of this there is, however, little fear, seeing that Great Britain, must, of necessity, consent to the agreement. What we have to fear isa false move in respect to the seal industry.

THE MARRIAGE QUESTION.

_——---

Tue Herald has come tothe rescue of Archbishop Cleary with an explanatory article. According to the Herald, “ Tux Examever is either dishonest or incapable of understanding the plain, terse English of the pastoral in question.” We have to acknowledge the gentle courtesy of our esteemed contemporary. If we have, dishonestly or unwittingly, misrepresented the mandate of Archbishop Cleary in respect to Protestant marriages and funer. § als,"we are willing and ready to make the amende honorable. It is, however, somewhat remarkable that Tne Examiner’s interpretation of the mandate is precisely that of almost all the leading papers in the country which have

We contend that the marriage of Protest- ants, as a rule, is beld by them to be sacred and inviolable, as pure, honorable and Christian as the marriage of Catholics is held by Catholics. If this is the fact, aod if, as Archbishop Cleary and the Herald ad. mit, the contracting parties being validly baptized, their marriage “is a Sacrament whether they or thé politicians think +o or not” how can it be said that it is “a crime” fora Roman Catholic to attend such a marriage ? We pause for a rerly.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. —Now that the Liberals are in, the Liberal organs are demanding an insolvency law. Doubtless they have in remembrance the unhappy period previous to the adop- tion of the N. P. and fear the result of

the present mission to Washington.

—Mail and Empire: Mr. Noel, the Conservative eandidate in Drummond and Arthabaska, was a Liberal at the last election, and eupported Mr. Lavergne, now a judge. He is from a Liberal family aud personally likes Sir Wilfrid Laurier. But he passes tothe Opposition because he is disappointed at the turn affairs have taken. Every pledge Sir Wilfrid gave bae been falsified during ‘thé sixteen months of power, and instead of getting something better we are getting something worse. Drummond and .Arthabaska ia an old Liberal county*artd the Government is working there most energetically with a view to holding it. Mr. Noel has, there- fore, a strong torce to fight againe:.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Mail and Empire At the end of Oct: ber last the net debt of Canada was $259,339,- 000, an increase of $4,886,000 over the figure st the end of October, 1896. The expenditure for the first four montbe of the present year was $7,938,000, or tiliree- quarters of a million more than in the same period of the last fixcal vear. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is tlustrating the truth of the saying that there has never been in Canada a Liberal Government, federal or provincial, that has not added to the debt and augmented the expenditure.

There will be a total eclipse of the sun visible in India on January 21st, 1898: Three expeditious will go out from Eng- land to observe it, One, under Sir Norman Lockyer, will go to Colombo, in Ceylon, and will occupy iteelf chiefly with spec- troscopic and photographic work. The second, headed by the astronomer Royal, Mr. Christie, will be stationed at.Jour, 100 milea south of Poona, while the third, under Dr. Copeland, will watch the eclipse at Wordha.

CUBAN HORRORS EXPOSED.

Many Deaths from siarvation— The Living | Suffering Terribly.

A special to the New York World from Havanasays: Weyler bas gone, but his purpore toexterminate the breed of Cuban patriots is being fulfilled. Starvation is killing the * Concentrados, by tensot thourands. hunger is doing what Spain’s two hundred thousand soldiers cannot accomplish. Women and children, the weak, the old, are dying like sheep. The rural population “‘coocentrated” in the towns, has filled the graveyards and its dead lie unburied. The frightful sufferings of those who survive cry out to wercy of the civilized world, :

The physicians of Havana are now for- bidden to give starvation (“‘Ipanicion”) as a cause Ofdeath. Women and children

starve; the reports of their deaths are falsified.

A correspondent in the town of San Domingo writes in the Diario de La Marina: | “A muitituds of sick fall dying upon | garbage in the streets here, and there they le uutl atter having served as iguominious sprctacl s for some hours, they are col- lectrd andtaken awav ip the ox carts uved for garbage to (he dumping grounds; if the corpses are admitied to the couxttry they reach there only in this unseemly manner. The church cemeteries are full.

So most of these dead bodies are thrown into the fields to be eaten up by the birds and dogs.”

The birds of which this correspondent writes are vultures. The vultures are gorged ; the dogs can eat no more.

Hoth the newspapers which supported Weyler and those whe opposed him are now forced to tell half the truth about the Here are some whole truths that are undeniable :

Since General Weyler’s proclamation driviog the coantry people iato the towns was issued, half the rural population of Western Cuba has died. Halt of those who Survive are so weak, so emaciated, that tLe flickering spark of life within them will turely be extinguished soon.

They cannot survive, although Blanco, the new governor general, has ordered that service rations be issued to them, rations such as hia soldiers get. The lives of the other half of the survivors Blanco will save. | He has acted promptly, but such has beeu the fatal effect of Weyler’® savagery that Blanco cannot undo or counteract it.

Photographs of starving children speak louder than any words. These photograph were taken at Guanabaco within an hour’s travel of the palace bere. Remember, that with natura] devotion, intensified with suffering and danger. the parents of these children have given to them every morsal of food they could scrape together. The | mothers ofthese children denied them-| selves food, refused to eat the miserable scraps of meat and bread that thev might keep life in their children. The childrens legs were like pipesteme. One could count their ribs. Their joints, made dis- proportionately large by their extreme emaciation seemed to be immense. Ragged, thin and siarving these people are huddled in the pablic buildings. There in the archways of houses, they sleep by

day, only to be driven by hunger to beg at night. The hospitals here

are as ful] as the graveyards.
