Lord Rosebery's Chesterfield Speech.

THI NATION AND TEE WAR

Lord Rosebery, in his famous speech at Chesterfield, said :—• " I am anxious that this war should ©ad for fear distinct reasons. In the I felts place, it is an open sore through J whioh ii oozing maoh of our strength ; la the second placej, ib weakens ou« International position, and reduces us lo a standpoint'in International poli tics ?ery different from that which we are accustomed to occupy ; in the third place, id stops all domestic reforms (cheers) : and in the fourth place, it adjourns and embitters the ultimate settlement of South Africa (renewed cheering). But on one point I am perfectly clear, that we must pursue this war to the end with all the energy and all th© honour, our character, the ffatnre of South Africa, ail require that wa should bring this war as vigorously and successfully as possible to the promptest and most complete solution (cheers). On that point I have no doubt—l will express no ambiguity at all (hear). I do not we could be in better hanus than those cf Lord Kitchener (cheers) He enjoys the confidence of the country and of his

armies. THE BEHAVIOUR OF ODR TBOOPS "I cannot in any way support the 'Hie and infamous falsehoods which have been spread on the Continent with regard to th© behaviour of our Army in the field. When I think of oar Army and their patience, their courage, in this dragging on, slow, wearisome, and embarrasing war for Ihe third year—when I think that there is no glory to be gained any longer by this war of infinite fatigue, »nd of everything which can depress or affect a soldier's mind—when I thmk of their patience and cheerful ness, I am moved to horror and indig nation at the papers abroad, which speak of our soldiers as mer cenaries—-for they are the only J voluntary Army in the world (oheers) •—when I hear that Army ipeken of as mercenaries, and held up to execration for their barbarous methods,—l equally acquit our Go vernment, or anyone of British birth, or any barbarity in this matter. As to the so-called methods of barbarity I will only say one word. Tbe refugee camps were a resale of the necessity of clearing the country. No doubt they | were mismanaged at first, hut it was not a very easy thing to manage, Then, igain, with regard to martial law ; it was, I believe, a necessity of the sitaa tion. It was to prevent the importa tion of anne, munitions, warlike sup plies, and men to our enemies in the field (hear, hear)j and ao far from blaming the declaration of martial law '""when ib waa made, lam disposed to blame the Government that it was not declared long ago—thab this open channel of supply was not etoppsd earlier (cheers)

BOSR ATROCITIES ' In regard to all these matters you must remember one fact, that war is a horrible thing, however yon mast look at it (hear, hear.) In every slight de. tuil of it, it is a, horrible, unspeakable

outrage on humanity, necessary, no doubt* bat to be curtailed as ranch as possible (hear, hear), and therefore the more vigorously and the more ruthlessly It is carried on—ao long aa it is carried on within the rales of civilised warfare the more effective and the more merci ful it is likely to be (loud cheer.). If I were to speak about atrocities, I should tarn my attention rathor to. ttKbw. exfcrcis'pd by the othnr tide (hear, bear;) 1 thould have a word to say about the constant cold blooded mas sacres of the natives; aboub the flog giog of those burghers who have taken the oath of neutrality in order to in duce them to perjure themselves; about tbe murder cf our wounded soldiers on the battlefi !d ; and abouc that crime—stigmatised as nnaponkablo from tbe remotest antiquity— the flogging and the orrardpr of an emissary of peace in cold blood last year (load cheers). But now yon have to face the problem of the fulure. Yon have wooer or later, to bring back 40,000 or more Boer prisoner?— Boer men In the prime of manhood—from exile to settle again in South Africa. If you bring them back while the Boer colours are still in the field, by however small a number they may be followed, you are bringing back gunpowder to sparks, and yon are producing a state o£ affairs which I hardly venture to contemplate. I believe in the efficient vigorous prosecution of the war to its natural end ; but 1 believe that its j natural end ia a regular peace and a j regular settlement, Therefore, I should I not be deaf to

A»Y OVERTURES OP PEACE that came from any responsible ant! o rity,more especially if they came from the exiled Government which now ex isita stmflwhere in the Low Countries, and which surrounds ex-President Kruger. Yon may Bay (hat it is a Govereraent in exile, a scattered Gov eminent, a discredited Government; bat it is the only Government, it is the Government which went to war with w, and mast, even in Belgium or Hol land, in the absence of any other, re tain some vestige of its former autho rity. And, therefore, I say that if that scattered and dejected Ministry could mike any overtures of peace, directly or indirectly, to his Majesty's Government, if I were a Minister I should not turn a deaf ear to them, (cheers.) Tdo not mean, of course, that a Boer ambassador should come to London, or that the King should send an ambassador to Holland. I mean nothing of that kind, but some of the greatest peaces, the greatest settlements in the world's history, have begun with an apparently casual meet ing of two travellers in a neutral inn, and I think it might well happen that some such fortuitous me«ting might take place under the auspices of his j Majesty's Government and of the exiled Boer Government which might- j lead to very good results. The Boers j are a shrewd people, and they have! often proved themselves not lees shrewd 1 than bis Majesty's Government ; and I I ventuie to say that there is nob a sane I Boer, who is not under the influence of I fanaticism, who does not know that I their I

INDEPENDENCE IS C.ONB FOR EVER If by any chance they deceive tfaem |9lv«l goon (h«l mfttter, if by i*av

chance they build on the foundation— the very cresy foundation—of a handful of men in this country (loud cheore) who may bold our hopes that that indepen dence will be restored, the Boers area much less shrewd people than I took thorn for. I think they cannot complain if thoy are incorporated in the British ' t Empire. Th<?y chose the e.bttmra^nt of the sword. They appealed, and by that thoy must abide (cheers), I g^so far »s to say that I believe had they never crossed the border, had thoy never pent i. n Ultimatum, then it would have bern praoticnlly impossible for any B-itUh Govommpnt, in tho Bate of divided opinion which oxistod till they took Hip action, t> attack them on their side. Bu', as they chose to tftke the law into their own hands, and us they chow to take and invade and arm. x the King's dominions, they must ho aware that'their independence is gone, and that we have not gonn through mil this sacrifice arfd loss of irpasare and precious I'vop in ordor that under any circum stances, at any time, the danger nf an independent Transvaal and Orange Ffe State shall again threaten the people of this Empire (loud cherrs). "I, for one, declare my.of in favour of the most just, of tho promptest, the M©ST LIBERAL AMNESTY which fipcurity will allow yon under

present circnrastnnces (cheers). I would go so far as to give full civil tights 4o all Boers who took end signed a defi nite and drastic oath of allegiance

(cheers) I believe that the sooner yon put tbpm in a position of civil responsibility, of honourable loyalty to yourselves, the better it will be for your selves and South Africa (cheers). Ido not believe that as regards representa tive Qoveramf nt, you can settle that at once, 1 believe you must wait until the country is resettled, till the farms are rebuilt, and until the country is i once more inhabited: Till then I ; would have a commission of four or five roogb-and.ready Administrators of the i Indian type to settle the country in the ! name of the High Commissioner, Lord Milner, I would have them assisted by a representative committee, in which our own people should, of course, be in the majority, but in which there should alse be & Boer element, and I would hasten as aoon as possible tbe era at which responsible Government oould be granted. And with regard to all transactions which involve money, such as the re-settlement of the farms, the restocking of the farms, the rebuilding of the farms, I would act with tbe most laverish liberality. We are spending five millions a month in prosecuting this war. I would Infinitely rather spend that five million a month in procuring a definite peace in South Africa, and in appeasing the remains of civil rancour. 4' (Oheers )

The best cough drops are drops ot Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. The next time you ___v|JjSSS$i& take cold, dose your- p"wQk .'IB self with a lot of jL, home remedies and 9 j^Hv dilly-dally along un- tw« til your cough is g deep-seated and you . are threatened with .^J^^^Sm^ m pneumonia or con- s[^ ■'i^allß sumption. That's Na ™""f •"■w|| one way, to be sure. »sH Here's another way: Take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral at bedtime and be all right the next morning. Isn't this the better way? Then continue the Cherry Pectoral a few days until your throat and lungs have completely healed aad all danger of future trouble is past. Another grand thing about Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is that it cures hard coughs, the hardest kind of old cougbs, even after all other remedies have failed. Put up in large and small bottles. When it hurts your lungs to cough, then apply one of Ayer's Cherry Pec toral Plasters directly over the painful lung. It will quiet the pain, remove all congestion, and grpatly strengthen.
