BRITISH FISCAL POLICY.

Upon this motion, Mr Joseph Chamber- lain will move an amendment to the effect that the House, noting Mr Balfour's opinion favouring a change in the fiscal policy of the United Kingdom, and his declaration that such change cannot ad. vantageously be undertaken in the present Parliament, expresses continued confidence in the Government.'

Uniotic freefoodors, including 30 mem- bers of the House of Commons, have agreed to support Mr Black in preference to Mr Chamberlain.

Mr Balfour will therefore move a prior amendment to Mr Chamberlain's, to the effect that the House considers it unne- cessary to discuss fiscal reform, and Me Ballur's declarations made at Sheffield, regarding which the Government has an~ nounced that no proposals will be submitted to the present Parliament. Farther, the Flouse expresses its continued confidence in the Government, and desires to proceed with the business proposed in the King's Speech.'

It is hoped that Mr Balfour's amendment will induce Unionist freefooders to vote for the Government, or abstain altogether.

The Times says that Mr Black's amond- ment is simply an Opposition trap, in- geniously planned. It will probably be, The Times adds, a greater fiasco than its

A BALLADE OF THE CAPTAINS.

Where are now the Captains

Of the narrow ships of old—

Who with valiant souls went seeking

For the Habled Fleece of Gold;

In the clouded Dusk of Ages,

In the Dawn of History,

When the ringing songs of Homer

First re-echoed o'or the Sea?

Oh, the Captains lie a-sleeping Where great iron hulls are sweeping

Out to Suez in their pride; And they hear not, and they heed not And they know not, and they need not,

In their deep graves far and wide.

Where are now the Captains

•

Who went blindly through the Strajt,

With a tribute to Poseidon

A libation poured to Fate

They were heroes giant-hearted,

That with Terrors, told and sung,

Like blindfolded lions grappled,

When the World was strange and young, Oh, the Captains brave and daring, With their grim old crows are faring

Where our guiding leacons gleam ; And the homeward liners o'er thom

All the charted «ess befor them

Shall not wake thomas they dream

Where are now the Captains

Oh, those crual C'aptains nevar Shall sweet lovers more dimnos er,

Oh their forays as they roll ; And the mad Dons cure them rainly,

As their bailed ships, ungainly,

Hool them, jearing, to the Mole,

Where are now the Captains

of those racing roaring days,

Who of knowledge and of surage,

Prove the clippers on their way

To the farthest ounce of pirometr

To the latest stitch of Mil.

Carried on

before the tempest Till thu watara lupped the rail?

Oh, the merry, manly skippors

Of the traders and the clippers,

They are sleeping East and West, And the brave blue seasshall hold them,

And the oceans five enfold them

In the havens where they rest,

Where are now the Captains

Of the gallant days agone They are biding in their places,

And the Great Deep beam no traces

Of their good ships passed and gone."

They are biding in their places,

Where the light of God's own grace is,

And the Great Deep thunders on.

Yea, with nevor port to steer for, And with never storm to fear for,

They are waiting wan and white,

And they hear no more the calling

Of the watches, or the falling

Of the sea rain in the night.

DANGEROUS DISEASE. -Every

Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is a reliable and effective medicine, and if given in time will prevent serious consequences. This remedy never fails and is pleasant to take.

THERAPION NO. 1
