Tue Patriot continues to harp on the Premier's expulsiow from Canada of the Spanish refugees. Itdwells on the tact that cbe expulsion is justified by the Montreal Star and Toronto Evening News. But the Star’s justification is based solely upon adeciaration that the expulsion was ordered by Lord Salisbury. It will require a better authority than the Star to make thet Lord Salisbury is guilty of issuing thoughtfal people believe such an unBritish aod tyrannical order to Sir Wiltred Laurier. would not dare to expel from any part of Great Britain without Lord the Salisbury Spaniards trial ; and it is not likely that he would ask Sir Wilfred to do that which he would It is more probable that United States Government not do himaelf. the compla nt of the was the instructions transmitted to of Canada to that the ises, always remembering that the British Empireis the United If ghen, Sir Wilfrid Sad addressed the Span- with do which was right in prem~ States’ friend. jard’s counee! setting forth that be was ia receipt of evidence that they were violat- ing the neutrality laws and giving them the option of leaving the coustry forth~ with or standing trial for the offence charged against them, he-would have acte | If the Spaniards were really guilty, they woulJ, in a dignified and proper manner. of course, have had been glad to have left Canada at once, rather than be publicly exposed and punished.

There is probably some room for progress vet on thie score. A feature of the Eoglith u a-ket this season wae that the supply rrom Victoria finished abru..t- ly in March, instead of, as usual, gradually decreasing in volumnu, until, with other Australasian supplies, it ceased aitozether in Mayor June. The home production of 1897 1s estimated at $%6,000 tone, or 6,000 tons more than in the previous year and 5,000 tons above the average of the five preceeding years. Drought has, for three succes-ive seasons, adversely aifected Australia’s darrying industry, the greatest export theretrom having been 12,166 tons in the season of 1894-95. In the follow ing ceason it fell to 7,585 tonsa, in 1896 97 it was &,78¢ tone. and in ibe season just ciosed it was 7,468 tons. New Zealand suffered far leas from thie cause, and her exports to the mother country during the last four seasons have been 2,305 tonsa, 2,558, 3,088 tons, and 3,630 tons reepec~ tively, Discussing the situation of affairs, the Imperial Inetitute Journal save: Canada, however, is the colony that is making tbe greatest strides in this industry; in 1897 the United Kingdom 5,470 tons of butter, Victoria being the only other colony which exceeded that amount.

The most. touching, perbaps, was the cure of A.J. O’Donneil, of Brasher. He was stricken with paralvsie, and parti~ ally recoverrd so asto beable to move about on crutches. He was miraculously cured at St. Anne’s and returned home once more able to waik erect without as- sistance of any kind. He left his crutches at the shrine. Another remarkable cure was thatofa Sisterof Mercy of Wate:~ town, who was taken from Montreal, after it was there decided that no medical skili could save her. She was carried to St. Anne’s supported in a chair, and after the religions ceremonies were over that same Sister walked unaided down the aisle and out into God’s sunlight.

Such questions as the following are asked by tnose who object to the identit7 theory, What good can comeof studying the sul-ject uf lost Israe!? In what way do we benclii,if we are Lerac]? Is it of any practical value to us a8 a nation? What advantage will it be to us, supposing that the British people are the descendants of the lost tribes of Israeli? What need bave we to trouble ourselves about it? God in bis own time, will reveal His peo- p'e without our help. There questions are quite proper, though often the result of unsvund reasoning, avd should be submitted ovly in aapirit of reverend inquiry, bv earnest seekers after the trath,+uch questions should receive intelligent aud sausfectory answers. 1. It is an interes.ing antl prof.able historic study. History is slwayve a de lightful source of instruction, more espe- cially,if the particular Jive followed up, lies through a period and a people not generaily known. Now, we are in search of our ancestors, in tneir wanderings, For ageSmen bave been led to believe, ‘that our nation sprang from a heterogencou- mass and that no family can be sure of its ancestry, beyond the era of their occu- pation in Britain, while the unprejudiced etudent will fiad the investigation, neither monotonous nor uninstructive. Zz. If our views are correct then our national inheritance lies revealed in the question. Every patriot has a deep in- terest in his nation’s future and every man who hasthe well-being of bis coun try at heart, looks forward to wuat it may yet become, in the extentof its commerce and the comfort of its inhabitants, It Britain is proven to be Isrzel, then British people are the inheritors of this great and divinely givea honor, and to them also belong the privileges and blessings, pro- mised tothe chosen nation of Jchovah. 3. No otoer system, so clearly defines Gou’s purpose in history and prophecy. Tue great scheme revealed in the bible is one of national choice, as well as indi-~ vidual interest. God has chosen one race as his special people, and although they are vow unknown as such, yet when the ingathering has been accomplisbec, the pa iunal life of his people will be resumed, so that in this review oj history, we fiad the most striking counterpart of the prophetic page. 4th. If we are I-rael, God has told us that he will be enquired of, to do these things for us. Many good Christians have the notion, ibat if weareof the stock of Israel, all these promises will be fulfil ed to vs, whether we bt'r ourselves in the matter or vot, Scripture teaches us, that God does not bless a careless and supiore peoyle.
