success. In the region of Lake Worth there are
about 10000 trees growing. and part of them

Bright says he hopes Rylands wiz be

and adds: What your opponents
think an error, may prove patriotism

Liberals treat Liberals whose only fault
lies in their support of principles that
Liberals accepted year ago. Honesty

inability TO address the electors of Ches-
ter, says: The Tory policy Of tzenty
years of coercion for Ireland Is more
rational and contains more promise of
being efectual than any one OF the
intermediate and fantastic schemes
