Sir Louis is yone to Cape Breton: but t e selection of a Liberal leader is pos vet announced. —A passenger at Halifax writes: ¢ [t is hard fora Britisher to understand how 50 per cent: ot the crew were saved and only 10 per cent. of the passengers. The fact that only one woman was saved, out of 200, will go down in history as a brand of fire on the cowardly crew. The passengers were there to die, ia order that those who were naturally looked to as their protectors, might escape. —Commenting on the United States Senate’s vote to connect Hawai, the Mootreal Gazette says: The Islands will be necessary if the I hilippines are to be retained, and the fact of their annexation will imerease the already strong dé mand for the retention of the late Spanish poa- sersions. ‘The act be the abandon. ment of a historic and safe policy in face of an opportunity for eati*fving the national craving of land hanger. It wiil bring the United States abg bill of ex- pens-s, and also much trade, which it is likely to keep for its own people, It ia fae. will Under the Liberals, our Province is losing many things. But it is gaining one thing, v1z., notoriety. Thus the Empire, pubiimhed in London, England, remarks: “Prince Eiward Island has a law making adebt non-recoverable if it bas been iucurred by the purchase of mer- Chandise through‘a travell.r aot holding a proviscial license.

The great Liberal party is sound at heart, bat it ie being betrayed at every turn by the vipers it cherishes in ity bosom.

Nor an she well hope to retain Puerto Rico. As lo the Philippines, she may possibly obtain some termes by putting herself into the hands of the European powers.

GLADSTONE’S FAMILY HISTORY. | In the winter of 1895 a student at the University of Upsala bappened to find an oll and seer ingly rare book is his lib- rary. The book contained a history of the Swedish nobility, and among those noble families mentioned was the Glad- stoue nouse, Or, a8 it was wri'ten io Swedish, Gladsten.

THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, JULY 11, 1898 SITUATION IN MADRID. . The People Calm and Dignified. Lonxpox, July 8.—The Madrid corres- pondent of the Times says: The Spanieh people received the terrible blow of the | loss of their fleet with wonderful self ; possession and calm dignity. All the popular festivals even the bull fights have b-en postponed, but there is no sign of a panic or evenof flurry. The people find consolation in « conviction of military ttreogth, and are pleased at the semi-~ official r that General Blanco has been ordered to send reinforcements to Santiago. The Government seems un- decided as to what coursetto pursue Senor Sagasta’e statement thet the Government desires to know the opinion of the arny in Cubs, on the lo<s of their fleet, repre- sents an important feature on the situa- tion, it isthe general belief in military cir- cles that anything like capitulation would create a dangerous exasperation in the army in Cuba. Senor Sagasta probably favors peace, but the Government wants lime for reflection. ris ae A PROTEST. Li xpox, July 8.—The publication of the telegram alleged to have come from Lieut. Colwell, ‘the United States naval attache here, and said to have been addressed to the navy department at Washington, in which the naval attache was piaced in the position of giviog important information from Madrid to the authorities at Wash- | ington, bas caused asensation. It is free- | ly predicted that if the reports of Lieat. Colwell’s alleged activity in securing infor- mation from Spain can be proved, the Spanish ambassador w:|| be instructed to prot st against his remaining here on the rame grounds as the protests against Senor Dubosc an?

Their ardent +tndy of the Bible is to he commended, but the majority of its stn- | dents will lovg continue te reach another conclusion. ‘Ihere is not much in the bis- tory of the ten tribes, so far as we krow, to cause usto wish for a blood relation- ship. Muostof us will be better content with the ancestry of Saxon, Norman and Dane.” It is easily seen that it does not require much to make some people wonder, especialiy when a sabject like the history uf the lost ten tribes ix so far beyond their comprehension, that they are unable to grasp it and theonly reply they are able to make, is a sneer at what they cannot understand. It is surprising that, in a land cf Bibles, there is so littl known of a people that God bad eho-en for himeelf, as we tind recorded in Ex. 19-5, Lev, 20-26, Dent. 7-6; 14-2; 26-19.

It has heen held that consumption is hereditary, and the fact that one person of a family had died with consumption was cousidered a sure sign that others of that family could not escap? it. This is partly | true and partly untrue. A man with weak lungs is likely to transmit that weakness to hia children. But there is no reason in the world why the weakness should be allowed to develop. Keep the lungs fia! ] of rich, red, whoieeome blood, and the weakness will disappear. Decaying tissues will be thrown «ff, and new materia’ will be added until the lungs are well and per- fectly strong again. This ix the thing that Dr, Pierce’s Golden Medivai Di-covery does.
