Financial Position of the Transvaal.

The statement as to the fioancul position of the Transvaal which ie made by the Times correspondent at Pretoria is decidedly satisfactory. Ife is understood that only a quarter of a million will be required out of th© million and a half voted by tbe Imperial Parliament for the two new Colonies ; revenue now almost equal* expenditure, in spite of considerable sums advanced to tbe municipalities of Johannesburg and Pretoria j and the Customs receipts for last month were equal to about two thirds of the monthly average before the, war, And this while the war ia etui going on ! We have always held that there coeld be no question as to the future finan cial capacity of the Transvaal, when honestly administed by British officials instead of by the corrupt Boer ring. Aliis evidently going well, and the good effects of the change of Govern ment are already visible.— Fall Mall Gazette

The Liberty of the Subject in Russia.

There is a grim humour about tbe treatment to whioh the Russian police have just subjected the popular—the too popular—novelist, Maxime Gorsky, M Gorsky was travelling to Moscow, where the admiring students of the university had arranged a reception al the railway station, when the police quietly uncoupled the carriage at an intermediate station, and sent it off, with the novelist inside, "in the dir ection of the Caucasus," while the Moscow train was filled with police, who, on its arrival at its destination, promptly dispersed the assembled stud ents. That U the way they do things in Russia, and there is something to be Baid for it. Suppose, for instance, the same method had been employed the other day when Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman took to imitating the lata Mr Gladstone by addressing deputat ions on railway platforms. What a lot of nonsense he would have been saved from talking, and what a healthy douche of disappointment would have descended upon our pro-Boers I Pat-* ernal government is not altogether an unmixed evil,—PoW Mall Gastette,

A Boon to Mothers.

ASHBURTON MOTHERS WILL PROFIT BY THS EXPERIENCE OF ANOTHER.

A mong all classes ef people we find children Buffering from weak kidneys, Tha Intelligent mother knows that this Is not a habit and searches for a remedy. Ib i. something very h'jrd to relieve, and'tha family physician tells her that the child will grow out of it. Sometlmns they dtf aud sometimes they do not. In the mean* rime annoyance and embarrassment are the result. If anyone knows a remedy is it not an act of charity, Is it not a duty to make ib public. Should selfishness or pride keep it concealed ? Mrs Summers ■>i Oxford street, Hampstead, this town, has used Doan's backache kidney pills in her family and now makes the following statement for the benefit of anxious mothers and for the relief of interesting little children:

"I can recommend Doan's backaohe kidney pills to mothers who have children suffering with weak kidneys. One of my children was nfflicted with this distressing malady and I did not know that there was a medicine in existence which could cure this trouble. I had some of Doan's back* ache pills in the house intending to ess them myself when I heard of a case of weakness of the kidneys which had been cared by Doan's backache kidney pills, so I started to give them to my boy. The Improvement was marked. They are splendid in snch cases and lam only too glad to mention the facb as a guide to others. I obtained the pills ab the Ash burton Drug Go's store In East street. Do not be satisfied with any Imitation of Doan's pllk. Reniember It waß Doan'i backache kidney pills which helped Mra Bummers and it is important that yon get the same medicine.

Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s pet box (six boxes 16s 6d), or will be posted on receipt of price by bhe proprietors, Foster; McLellan Co., 76 Pitt Street, Sydney, N.S.W. Bub be sure they Bre Doan's;

Dear Sirs,—l feel It my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favor of Ross Antidote for purifying the blood.

I grew tired of trying differen. medical men and remedies, of which I had trier! almost every known one but) yours, and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked 'Jack, you look very ill' (and you may depend I was). He added, * Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, ana I took ib accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to geb well, and after taking three large bot Met! I was a new man—thanks to your great discover y. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits.

A CUBE FOX CHOLEBA INFANTUM • Last May,' says Mrs Curtis Baker, of Bookwalter, 0, USA,' an Infant child of our neighbour's was suffering from cholera infantum. The doctor had given up all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to the house, telling them I fain sure it would do good, If used according to directions. In two days' time the child had fully recovered, and Is now ( nearly a year since) a vigorous, healthy girl. I have recommended this Remedy frequently and have never known lb to fail In any single instance,' lor sale by "Ashbarfcon Drag Co A YOUNG IADY'S LIFE SATED. At Panama, Columbia, by ChamberlalnV.
