Weighty Utterances by Lord Salisbury.

THE WORLD LOOKING ON AT

THE WAR

Lord Salisbury at the annual dinner of the United Club which was held at the Hotel Cecil, in responding to the toaat of the ' Unionist Cause,' after re ferring to the history and work of the •club, and its eervioes in defence of the Integrity of the Empire, said :—I ven ture to press upon you that small House of Commons divisions, however important and interesting they aro to those who take P»?t in them at the time, are not the dominant feature that governs our present situation. We have matters of far more import ance to deal with—(hear, bear)— and mattera which will ruin this country If we neglect. We have to deal wi*h this great war into which, according to my belief, we have been enforced., (Hear, hear). Remember, that we mast not think of this war as though It were a marter merely concerning the | regions of territory which our troops affect. It is, no doubt, a condition of things deeply eftecting the well being not only of South Africa but of Ung land, and affecting the well being oi England for this reason, that if we are not true to the mission we have under taken—if we do not sustain the doc trines that we have npheld— if we do not show ourselves equal to wield the force which we profesa to hold—the result will be that not only in Soath Africa, but that elee wheie our claim to force and power will bave bo weight whatever, and that every nation or people that wish us ill will dare to do it because, from the Soabh African example, they would have drawn the lesson that we are powerless to defend ourselves. (Sear, hear) This ia the leaaon that I wish you to draw from the present state of things* We are defending the terri tory of the kingdom against the inva sion of neighbours who had in inter, nfttiotml law no complaint to make against m t and who were merely ictaated by the greed of territory, by the desire to enlarge the dominion ■which they had already obtained, (Hear, hear) That is the motive which stimulated them, and the motive which should stitntllaie us to defend to the utmost the righta of the King—(cheers)—the iaaotity of oar frontier—(cheers) — the. protection of the people who are tasubjects— (cheers) —and to brar in naiad that unless we now aot op to the language which wo have constantly held—nnleaa we fulfil the professions ■which we have determinedly made— we shall expose every parfc of the dominions of our Sovereiga to the enterprise of those who hato us and ■who have long learned not to fear us, (Hear, hear) Therefore it Ii tbatfj I press upon you the most serious possible view of the crisis through which you aro passing. You have to show them that they miscalcu lated your determination, your power, ©r your resolution. An«l, remember, when all the world is bo close together, and everybody knows whit is doing in the territory of everybody else— remem ber, if you ftltow them to believe that you •re unable or unwilling to defend your territory you will toon find 1 that you have mo territory to defend. Hear, hear.) Th«t wia thogroit fault—l don't for « moment impugn his motivps that was the great fault committed by Mr Gl&dstono in iho Majuha matter. Ho doubt he noted from a high philan thropic motive; but he did not realise that having once informed the Boers that gueh resistance as they then showed to us would repel our attack and make us powerless for the protectioa of our own country*—that he never realised—and the result was, «s we have known from a hundred sources, that the recollection of theßfajuba campaign, and the troat and resistance would be followed by the same results, was the calculation and was the motive that has induced the Boer Governments to play that desperate cast which will end in the destruction of the independence of their countries. Well, I ask you, however great these things may be, and however Important small divisions at dinner time may seem ti you, to think that there ia something more important that ia lying in front of us—that we have to establish in the minds of the civilised world, and especially the African world 4he conviction that if our frontiers are violated it will be a bitter time for those who have undertaken the task. (Oheere.) It is only by such a con-1 ■viestion that you can be safe. (Cheers,.), |

DURING a sketching tour the Lord of Bnrleigh made a short stay at a hamlet), where, in the character of a land scape painter, he won the affection of the village belle, and contrary to custom, married tier. He did nob disclose his real rank and position until the modest .equip age, which carried them to their home, stopped before a most stately mansion. The erstwhile conntry girl was bewildered, and despite, the affection lavished on her by her lord, she gradually Bank, and died a gracious lady, a true adornment to her elevated station, having mastered every detail of card-leaving precedence, Lord Baileigh never recovered the shock, bat then, that great healing balm, PLANTEKOA, was nnknown in those daya. Science was unaware of the elements that compose the most valuable recuperative agent of modern times. PLANTEKOA gives new life, heals affliction of the body, and removes mind troubles. Mr C A Jolly, the successful auctioneer and land agent of Wellington, writes :—• With pleasure I recommend PLANTEKOA as a sovereign cure for headache. For several years I have constantly had recourse to headache wafers, powders, etc, to geb relief. I took one bottle of PLANTEKOA (nearly two years ago), and I hay c not | had a Bingle attack since. You may mention my name to anyone suffering as I did. I sincerely recommend them to try • Plantekoa.' Signed, Charles A Joliy.

The two prime reasons which have led to the extraordinary bonuses which this office has been able to declare have been its ECONOMICAL MANAGEMENT and its RE MARKABLY FAVOURABLE MOIITALITY EXPEBIBNCE. " Tlie Australasian Insurance and Banking Record" says,—"lt [the N.Z. Government office] possesses the splendid advantage of operating in perhaps the health lest country in the world." To this, coupled with rigid care in the selection of lives, has been due the unprecedentedly low rate of mortality which the office has en joyed. Tear by year the actual deaths have fallen far short of what was anticipated, aad the funds thereby saved teve all gone to swell the profits, which at the valuation in 1896 (for ihree years) amounted ia, CASK to £225,000 Sterling.
