THE more quietly and peaceably '

| TIE more quietly and peaceably We
get on. the better-the better for our
neighbours, In nine cases out of ten the
wisest policy is. if man cheats you,
quit dealing with him; if he is abusive,
quit his company; if he ISLANDERS you
take care to live so that nobody will be-
lieye him. No matter Who he is, or
how he misuses you; the wisest way is
generally to let him alone, for there is
nothing better than this cool, calm,
quiet way of dealing with the wrongs
we meet.

ing Balfour continues to devote himself
to the holding Of Star Chamber courts,
OF which the application to Ireland is
little invention of his own. Secret in
quiries concerning political offenders
are held, and men and women who
plnckily refuse to testify against their
neighbors are thrown into Jail, for all of
which Mr.. Balfour will probably some

Chamberlain and Churchill are col

and are making love quietly but in

TIE principal mouthpiece Of those
Republicans who bolted from their
party in 1884 and supported Cleveland
is Harper's Weekly, of which MIR. G.
W, Curtiss is editor. The views of
that paper are Of some Importance at
present on account of the indicate % it
affords Of how the "mugwumps" in
tend to vote this time. Referring to
the convention at Chicago Harper's
says: THAT the general tore and aim
OF the party are more encouraging than

not reassuring. There is no command
