MR. RUDYARD KIPLING AS POLITICIAN.

Mr. Rudyard Kipling appeared at Ashton-under-Lyme last month as a politi- cian, speaking many plain tales from the platform of the Junior Imperial and Constitutional League.

Prefacing his remarks by a police court description of a confidence trick, the novelist of Empire proceeded :--

1--THEY THAT SPEAK SMOOTHLY,

Six years ago we English met half a dozen smooth-spoken, well-dressed, con- fidential gentlemen in the political line. They told us what fine fellows we were, and how we were kept out of our rights. They told us that they had millions and millions of pounds to spend on honest deserving men like ourselves.

But they said that there was only one thing which stood between us and our share of the benefit, and that was the Upper House in the British Constitution.

They said the Upper House needed reform, they promised on their ward of honour that if we let them have the Upper House for five minutes they would take it round the corner and fettle it up and. bring it back reformed and up-to-date. (Laughter.)

Partly because they said such pleasant things about ourselves, and particularly unpleasant things about our neighbours, but mainly because we hoped we would get somsthing for nothing, we let them have the Upper House. "And they took it round the corner to reform it, That was fourteen months ago, and they have not brought back yet. (Laughter aud cheers.)

Our forefather's bad a knowledge of human nature, and they knew by bitter experience that ao men, no hody of men, can be trusted with supreme power for any purpose on any pretext whatever, We are just relearning that lesson. (Hear, hear.)

II. ON A STATE OF SLAVERY. Having done good to themselves. our suprens authority settled down to do

If rationally discussed under constitu tional government, the Insurance Act could have been made a just and favour- able possession for free men and free women. (Cheers.)

In its present shape, as we become deeply committed to it, we see really what a subtle and far-reaching form of slavery it imposes upon us. (Hear, hear.) Is weak ritual of stamping, licking, ticket- ing, registering, and being inspected by overseers must bluut character and must kill self-respect.

The National Be ander no delusion, Insurance Act creates a servile class, whose whole minds and energies are diverted from the control of their own affairs and the control of their country's affairs to a serious degree. (Cheers.);

THE STORY OF HOME EULE.

Now, a few months back these same per- sons found themselves compelled to grant Home Rule to Ireland or run the risk of losing their salaries. (Laughter.)

The Irish bunted them and hounded then towards Home Rule through every dirty political by-lane and every black political bog, like cattle at a Connemara drive.

So now, for reasons that will be ap- preciated by every man who is liable to lose his job at day's noties, Home Rule will be given on the largest scale to Ire land. And what right haye we in Eug- land. to object?

In the name of democracy we have parted with every safeguard that the advanced as satisfactorily as was antici- genius of our race has devised for secur-pated. As a matter of fact no progress | ing the expression of a people's will. In has been made so far towards a settle- the name of progress we have hunded ourselves over, Lound and helpless, to the mercies of a single self-paid Chamber.

IV.SHADOW OF ARMAGEDDON.

I am not a politician, but I know what we all admit 'n private life, and what we all overlook in public life, that men are responsible for the consequences of their own acts,

If we give a blank cheque to a plau sible adventurer, whose fault is it if he draws out of the bank everything we have laboriously accumulated? We gave-the- power-of-attorney and the open cheque for a consideration-because we hoped to! get something for nothing Else why did we turn our backs on Tariff Reform gix years ago? (Hear, hear.)

And what is our reward to-day What have we gained? A land without a Con- stitution, within measurable distance of civil war, under the very shadow of Armageddon, for which by land and by sea and in our own distracted souls we are utterly unprepared. And on our fate hang the destinies of one-fifth of the human race. (Cheers.),

THE JAPANESE AND INDIAN TRADE.

A Calcutta Press message dated the 25th uilt. says:-The Japanese steamers TO making a desperate attempt to capture the Indian trade and the British India Eteam Navigation Company, their most formidable rival, is equally determined to maintain its position of supremacy. A rate war has been in progress for many months and rates are now exactly half of what they were six months ago. It ap- pears that freighta cannot be lowered any further, so that the rate war may be said to have reached its climax. The English- aran learns that the Japanese company, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, recently ap the British India Steam proached

As for the British India Steam ment Navigation Company it is adamant and does not propose to yield an inch of ground. The paper says there is no trath in the rumour that the British India Steamship Company has arrived at a deadlock in its negotiations for the pur- chase of the Singapore Trunk Eastern Shipping Company, and is now engaged in an attempt to buy out other small steamship companies trading, in the East.

On the addition of water as directed. It forms an accurately estimated humanised milk, and may be given alternately with the natural food without fear of upsetting the child or causing digestive disturbance. Weaning can therefore proceed gradually with com-

fort both to mother and child. Farinaceous foods should not be given at this time.
