and inhumanity which are intended no j doubt lo damage the Government, but j whioh strike the nation—(cheers) —and { whioh strike oar colonists as well as ourselves. (Oheers.) ■ THE ___QT.AI.ISTS. And then in South Africa itself, tbe neat of this war, we find the loyalists of both races—for nothing would he more wrong than, to oonnect loyalty esclu iively wilh the question of race—we have among our Dutch fel.ow-subjects men aa loyal to the Grown and th* | Empire aa any of the British—-(cheers) —but our loyal fellow-aubjects of both j rae^s —•• the self-called loyalists," as Mr Bryce sneeringly deecribp-d them— they are the men who have suffered iosa, who have borne hardships wih hardly any complaint, who have sent 80,000 men to fight at the front for f he | supremacy of fche British fla& and for the unity of the British Empire— (cheers)—and those men, who have \ earned your gratitude—the gratitude of every one who ia worthy to be called ] a Brilon—are naturally indignant when they find that their sacrifices are not appreciated, when they find that even in the hour of approaching vic tory the results of the victory are to be taken from them. A NSW FACTOR IN POLITICS. I Gentlemen, a new factor has entered into the politics of this j country. In future you will have to take account of the opinion of your colonists; (Oheore.) You will have to consult them, and if you wish thtt they should always stand by your pide, you will have to be guided, to some extent, at any rate, by their wishes and their aspirations. And when you hear wild and wilful talk about negotiations which ire to be o»saally undertaken in Borne publio house on the Continent— (laughter) —when you are told even by Ihe highest authority in thia country that proclamations solemnly *dopt«?d at tbe suggestion of or with tho subsequent approval of colonial Governments tre to ba recalled in presence of the enemy ; when you are advised to offer or to ac cept terms of peace which, in tho words oi that calm and resolute speech which •was made by Lord Miloer—(lood cheers) —two days ago—terms of peace which, in his words would preserve the,politic»l dualism in Africa In snbstanco, al though not in form—then I say to you remember that you do not sttnd alone, that you have allies, and that you are mX entitled to make peace unleis it is «pon terms which will be satisfactory to those allies who have sent of their bast to fight and to die in a common «»use. {Cheers,)) LORD KITCHENER AND THE ARMY. Meanwhile, gentlemen, tbe war goes en—• slowly, no doubt, but inevitably— to it§ settled conclusion. It would be almost impertinent in me to praise Lord Kitchener. Lord Kitohener does not draff: sensttional dispatches. (Hear, hear.) I dare say we all wish some times that he wrote at greater length. But he keeps his own counsel, and I think his countrymen appreciate a a-fat man when they h&TQ found M*n. (He***, heir ) They recognise the stern resolu tion, tha well thought out plans by which be is successfully dealing with the most difficult task that he has ever fallen in modern times to aoy nation lo «c ! compliah. We are proud of the General, i (Oheerp.) We are proud of the Army. ] (Oheers.) To compare any other sfVmv j *lUnt is to pay the highest compliment j in oar power. We ire. proud o£ their heroic coarage. I think we are prouder still of the endurance, the I cheerful endurance, which they have shown under the hardships of this exceptional campaign. And we are proud of the unwavering humanity that, even at great cost to themselves, fchey have constantly shown to the troopi opposed to them, and to the civil population which haa been at their mercy. 10BD MILNEK We are proud also of our administration -—proud of Lord Milnar-^cheers)—the j greab publio servant, whose labours no | man can overestimate, who day and night j Is working oub the greab scheme for bhe ! regeneration of the new colonies, who finds men—l don'fe know whether he j knows of bfaem—mean enough in thia country to take the opportunity to blacken i Ms character—(' Shame') to call for his I recall, to attribute to him motives of the most unworthy character. Gentlemen, he has his reward in the regard and approval of the vast majority of his i fellow-citizens. (Cheers,) He has it In the confidence of the Government, the confidence of his Sovereign ; and he wiil not flinch, he will nob turn oat of his way, because a number of ill bred cars- (great oheers) —are barking at his heels. We are proud of him. We are prond of the band of skilful, and zealous, and patriotic col leagues, with whom he is working. A CLEAN SLATE IN SOUTH AFBIOA As the military operations progress, the civil government follows close upon their heels. When peace has 1 esn pro claimed , we shall find an administration already In our hands. The obsolete and th© corrupt legislation of the Transvaal Government has bean removed. We have wiped tbe slate dean. (Loud laughter and cheers,^ Bub thab is nothing. (daughter) Any school boy can do that. ' (Laughter) But we have written on the ' elate that we have cleaned the principles of juat and honest government—applause —undtir which in the future the two faces may live In mutual respect, enjoying equal rights and equal liberties, and in which thab vast population of natives for which we have become responsible may receive due protection and consideration. (Cheers,) _________________

WHAT IS PA IK BALM? Chamberlain's Pain Balm Ib a liniment and, while adapted to all the ordinary uses of a liniment, has qualities which distignish tt from other remedies of this class, Pain Balm ia especially beneficial for rheuma tism. Thousands of cases oan be clbed in which Ib has effected a care when the sufferer had previously tried best medical service without seoaring relief. Pain Balm IS POSITIVELY OTAKANTKEO to give relief In tbe most severe cases of chronic or acute rheumatism, Palo Balm heals braises, barns and fioalds in less blme than any other treat ment. Ib is 'antiseptic,' that is, ifc prevents putrefaction and by so doing, generally prevents an ungainly scar remaining after tha Injury is healed. Fo lame back, lumbago and neuralgia, P<iin Balm has no eqnal. It has bhe quality of 'getting to the right spot.* No sufferer from these distressing affections should defer a trial of this remedy.
