ain, styled this sort of vote catching, as * Immoral Pofition,"

To give up Home Rule for a few amend- ments in the Education Bill is like barter- ing gold for earth, and if Lord Rosebery finds his own furrow so stony that he elects to plough with the Duke of Devonshire, who hannover spared him in the House of Lords, surely the Frea-Trade and Free-Food sida of the question must be vory weak, and all the oratory the new party may bring into play will not convince the working class, whose vote will in the end decide the ques- tion, that half a free' loaf is better than a full 'protected' loaf.

The powerful advocacy of Mr Chamber. lain and his efforts on behalf of the Co- lonios, who one and all concur with his policy, have advanced the question of pro- tection and preference to a stage from which it cannot set back. The nation is roused, somebody must be hanged:-Will it be Protection? No, Protection is for this generation a new baby which, if properly nursed, might grow into a giant. Will it be Free-Trade Most likely, it gave us the dumps and we don't want them any Jonger. Free-Food will die a natural death,

If there is a man who thinks that 'ro- tection will not in time be the policy of England, I will not say he is a maniac, but I will say that he can see no further than to-morrow. If protection is adopted in England, as it will be, and as the Greater Colonies will demand proference, are we doing anything to secure that preference in the event of it being offered to us ?-Yours faithfully,

IMPERIALIST.

THE SURVIVAL OF HUMAN

PERSONALITY.

A remarkable article containing the views of that distinguished scientist, Sir Oliver Lodge, on many subjects of the gravest import is contributed to the Janu. ary number of the Pall Mall Magatine by Mr Harold Begbie.

"Shall we every know that the indivi- duality persists after death!" I asked,' "Some of us.." he 85ys the writer.

on that hoad replied, "have proofs which are as certain as proofs can bo. I know of nothing which satisfies my own mind that I would care to take before the Royal Society, but the fault may not be so much in the nature of the proof as in the nature of our present methods of test- ing evidence. The laborious documents of the I'sychical Research Society are there for all the world to sea, and while we have exposed much fraud and discredited much spiritualism, we have collected evidence of the possibility of communication between this and other worlds which deserves con. sideration. We are publishing shortly remarkable examples of automatic-writing, which some of us believe to be a communica- tion from Frederick Myers. I believe this document will prove to be of great import-

ance

What followed here I do not feel my- self at liberty to make public; but some day, when the story of Oliver Lodge comes to be writton, his own porsonal reasons for faith in continuance after death will be set out in full. Suffice it to say that he has good reason to believe in the possibility of communication between this and other worlds.'

Kurino, the Japanese Minister at St. Petersburg, had been withdrawn by his Government. This indicates the end of di. plomatic negotiations, and the natural se- quence is the movement of warships or troops in such a manner as to constitute a

At the same time it was admitted that the report might refer to an engagement entered into between owners and vessels of the Japanese mercan tile marine and Glasgow engineers, of cognisance. It was possible that the owners of Japanese vessels which would be placed at the disposal of the Government in the evont of hostilities would prefer to have their engineering staff strongthened by the addition of experienced men from the British Mercantile Marine. Having entered into engagements of this description, they probably thought the time had arrived when it was advisable to give them effect.
