Harcourt and Morley to Return

I have good reason to believe (writes the London correspondent of the Dundee Advertiser) that communica tions have been going on for some time whioh may eventu^e in the re turn of Sit William Harcoarfc and Mr Morley to the' inner councils 'of the Liberal party, It will be remembered that both nearly three years ago for mally reieved themselves from al! re apoosibU'ty for the Liberal policy, and placed themselves in a position o f greater freedom, In these critical timea it is felt, however, that every effort should be made to heal up divi sions, and it is not improbable ths.fc Sir William Harcourt and Mr Morley will take their share under Sir Henry Campbell-Banner man in the direction of the control of the Liberal party. I fancy that Sir Henry Campbell Ban uerman desires their presence in the * inner Council' to balance the Liheral Imperialist eletrent on the front bench Whether that be so or no*-, it is quite clear that Sir W Harcoart and Mr Morley, though they may be vigorous and excellent critics, cannot have their legitimate effect in influencing and guiding the action ot the party unless they are closely associated wi h its leader

Sir Thomas Lipton's Impressions of America

Sir Thomas Lipton ia back again at business in the Oifcy Road, looking bronzed and well after his trip to America, He waa kind enough to epira a few minutes of bis very valu able time (writes one of the Chronicle representatives) whilst he talked of bis recent visit, * Of coarse, Sir Thomas,' I etid, • it is hard!y necessary to ask you how the New York people treated yon f *la the way they always do/ waa tho reply. * I got nothing but f »ir play from everybody, and I was treated with the utmost kindness, courtesy, and hospitality. As for the members of the New York Yacht Olub, a more fair-minded or honour able lot of men never existed. Speak ing of American pressmen, all I can *ay is that they were the nicest lot; of gentlemen I ever met.' * And would you say that the best craft woo the race V j

• Yei, I would,' said Sir Thomas 1 There was a little bit of luck in the matter of ffind, and what luck there was the Columbia got. All the same, I feel that the best yacht won.' * And as to your plaas for th? future V

• Well, if we want to win the Cap, we amas either improve the Shamrock or build a befetpr boat. I have not formed any plane aa yet, ac lam waiting to see whether any other Olab Is going to challenge.' ' Bid yoB form any opinion »s to the feelings of the American people to wardsfcbis country? 1 ' I visited most of the Eastern States and went as far west as Chicago, and I can only say that the relations between the two countries were never more friendly thari at the present time. Tbo people out there have a great feeling of regard towards this country, and they are anxious to increase it, if possible. I don't believe the war has made a bit of difference to this feeling. On the contrary, I believa we have the sympathy of the United States in our struggle.'

'And whaf,' I asked,'were your impressions of American trade and commerce V

• The people of tho United State?,' aaid Sir Thomas, • have never been so prosperous as they are at the present moment, They are getting orders from all over tbe world, and on every hand 1 saw evidences of expansion of trade and Increasing prosperity. Commerce everywhere is in a sound, healthy and prosperous condition.'

1 Then yen do not consider that the (fendency in the United States towards the development of Trusts and Com bin at ions ia having any bad eff c*i on the American people generally.' 'Wei!, that is • question of economies which you can hardly expect ma to go into off hand. All I ctn sty is that everybody can get as much work as he likes, WRgea are as high *s anywhere in the world, and trade is increasing rapidly. This does not look as if the 'present methoda of carrying on industry out there are very harmful." •And doyou think that the Americans are going to become gtill more formid able competitors with us in the future V *I tm sure of it,' was the reply, 'They gpt work ready whilst we are thinking about it, and they execute orders before wo hare finished drawing the plans. They h»ve the best machinery it is pos sible to in?@Dt, and they pay wages high enough to attract the best workmen. Tfjen in their methods of doing trade they boat us in neutral markets. We try to make people bay what we want to jell (hem. The American b, oa the other hand, are ready to sell what other people want to bay. They are takiog »W»yalotof oar. trade, and they will fnke awaj more in the future/

LA GRIPPE. THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED. The Case of irsTlL TUENBR. [By a Christchurch Reporter.) Mrs. Minnie Turner, of No. 5 Car ter's lane (which runs off Chester-street), Christchurch, recently gave a reporter a friendly welcome, and expressed her de sire to have certain facts brought under the notice of the general community. "It is for the benefit of people who may suffer as I did, that I wish my case to be made known," remarked the above named lady. "Before I became experi enced in such matters I have seen folks almost dying, and yet I was helpless to assist or advise them, but now that I am in possession of the experience that teaches, other people are quite welcome to profit by it." " What is the nature of the complaint which attacked you?" aeked the re porter. " Influenza it is called, and very bad I was, too. The first sign of this disease that I had was a dull, aching pain in all my limbs. My legs felt so weak and shaky that I could scarcely stand. Indeed, I was quite unfit for any mental or bodily exertion. Severe pains in my head worried me to death. I could not do my work, neither could I see to sew, as the splitting headaches almost blinded mo. My tongue was white and thickly coated to such a de gree that I had no taste for anything, On the second day of my attack I was afflicted with violent pains in the back, which made that portion of my body so tender that I could not lie down without feeling extremely uncomfortable. My •ayes were red and watery, I was con tinually sneezing, and my throat was very sore, which made swallowing a most painful operation. When I come i;o think of the great amount of tea and water I ttsed to drink, it seems al most incredible even to myself, but yet I could not get rid of ih<e> - feverish thirst which troubled me, and I could not the temperature down. During the day and night I used to ex | pectorate a lot of phlegm, a thing which ; made me fear my lungs were affected. 1 Most of this time I was kept awake af i night by dreadful fits of coughing, after [ which I laidT j£own distressed and ex hausted, with hot and cold flashes run ning through me one after the other. I was miserably thin and worn out, my cheeks being pale and haggard, and J am sure if the disease had not been checked when it was, the consequences would have been very serious. The last drain of vitality had run out of my (System, leaving me a nervous, emaciate? wreck." "Was there nothing obtainable tc check the ravages of your attack P" " Absolutely nothing, so I thought, as all remedies I had hitherto adopted •proved futile. I had lost my appetite completely, and my stomach became so upset and weak that the smell of food became obnoxious. My condition was getting more critical each day, the weakening effects of influenza apparently being without limit. To continue in this way meant sure death, so you can guess my despair when everything failed to relieve me. A lady friend called to see me one day, when I was in a most inconsolable and despondent mood. After telling her what means I had resorted to for the purpose of getting relief, she asked me why on earth I had not taken Clements Tonic. "It cured my attack and I'm sure it will cwre yours," shr said. Acting on. her advice I com menced taking Clements Tonic. I war very pleased at the result, for I noticed a marvellous change before I had got half through my first purchase. The racking pains in my legs and back soon ceased, my head also getting wonder fully relieved. A remarkable hunger claimed my attention—a sensation I had almost forgotten. The sneezing and coughing stopped, thus enabling me to get some sleep. My pulsation became regular, and the general feebleness dis appeared. Clements Tonic stopped the progress of my disease, and restored me to robust health. Since then I have always been healthy and vigorous. I have recommended Clements Tonic to other like sufferers, who have always experienced the best results, thus prov ing the reliability of that unequalled medicine. These facts you may publish in any way you like." '
