Was Lynch a Boer Leader?

(From the Daily Ch/rmide )

Can an '• ex-Qolone! in the Boer

1 Army" Bit in the British House of Commons ? This k the interesting question raised by Mr Lynch'a election for Galway ; though so far as the par ticular case is concerned, we have beg ged it.

For, after all, did Mr Lynch bear arms against the King? We have seen oo proof of it. All we have to go npon Is the statement of his friends, and a man is not committed by what bii friends say any more than by whit his enemies say. Mr Lynch, it !b trae, was described in the « New Ireland Re* view' as ex-Oolonel in the Boer Army; bat & title in a magazine is not evi dence, In hii article ac speaks of the Boers as " oar men ;" but that may show only that he was with them, mot of them.

Mr Lynch himself, in an interesting interview with our Paris correspondent throws np light on the subject. He merely says that he intends to take bia seat aud tbe oath of allegiance, and that if anybody asks him whether he had fought on the side of the enemy he would decline to answer. Of course if there Is evidence that he did so fight, the Government may proceed against him for treasoa,

Unscrupulous Journalism.

(From The Globe)

It would be a mistake to suppose that, because the octburst of indignation In Germany at Mr Chamberlain's comparison of the methods employed in Sooth Africa with those in use during the Franco- German War is entirely justified, it is unreal.

The German Press is mostly Written by journalists so unscrupulous that the average German has no meant of becoming acquainted with anything bad the fictions of Ds Leyds,

The Suffering Stockbrokers.

(From The Scotsman.)

The protracted period of inactivity on the London Stock Exchange is affecting seriously several of the establishments in tbe neighbourhood which catered for the oieaiure comforts of members tad clients. During periods of activity on the stock markets some of these estab lishments did a roaring trade, bat now they find it difficult to keep their staffs employed.

Karth-or reductions are being mido by several brokers in their office expenses* They continued, as long as possible, keeping on tbeir staff of clerks in the hope that a period of activity woaid follow the dulnesß. Bet while tht>y Are still cf that opinion, the retura of activity b«s been so long delayed, with so im mediate prospect of • change, that still more have been added to the already [ftigd coutiugent of unemployed clerks. Days puss sometimes, without men who had a good business while the boom was in opemtioD, doing a single transac tion.

If a change for the better does not eouio soou there is every prospect of the already too numerous membership of iho titock Exchange beiug reduced when the period for renewing subscription! arrives next year.

THE SAME OLD STORY,

J A Eeliy relates an experience similar to that which has happended in almcet every neighbourhood in the United States and has beea told and re*told by thousands of others. He says: 'Last summer.! had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Uolic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used according to directions and with entirely satisfactory results. The trouble was controlled much quicker than former attacks when I used other remedies/ Mr Kelly is a well known citizen of Render* son, NC,U SA- For sals by Aehburtoa Drag Company.

HOW TO AVOID TROUBLE,

Now is the time to provide yourself a d family with a bottle of Chamberlains CoHo Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Ib la almost certain to be needed before the summer is over, and it' procured now may save you a trip 10 the town in the night or in your busiest season. It is everywhere admitted to be the most successful medi cine in use for bowel complaints, both for children and ad alts. No family can afford to be without It, For sale by Asbburton Drug Go.

THE BEST UNIMBNT FOR STRAINS

Mr F H Wells, the merchant] at Beer Park, Long Island, NY, USA, says ? 'I always recommend Chamberlain's Pain Balm as the best liniment for strains. I used it iasb winter for a severe lameness in the side, resulting from a strain, »nd was greatly pleased with the quick relief and cute it affected. For sale byjlehbar* ton Drug Company.

A CURE FOR SUMMER COMPLAINT.

Summer complaint is unusually preva lenb among children this season. A well developed case in the writer's family was cared iaab week by the timely use of Chamberlain's Colic Cholera, and Remedy —one of the best patent medicines mane factored and which is always kept on hand at the home of ye scribe. This is not intended as a free pad for the company, who do not advertise with as, bub to benefib little sufferers who may not be within easy access of a physician. No family should be without a bottle of this medicine in the house, especially in summer time.-^-Lansing, lowa, USA, Journal, For sale by Adhburton Drag Company,
