Good Words From England.

Lord Randolph Churchill, in u speech at
Paddington. England, expressed the hope
that the post of minister at Washington
would soon be filed. He said there was no
doubt that Lord Sackville had been primar-
ily indiscreet and had made an ineXeusabIe
biunder. No fault could be found with the
action of the United States government to-
ward the minister. The American people
were essentially just and proud of their re-
'ations with other countries. lie deprecated
the insulting and nienacing articles which
had appeared in the English press
since Lord Sackville's dismissal, and
said that Englishmen ought to inform the
Americans that they cherish no i'll feelings
toward them. Lord Randolph attached the
greatest Importance to the maintenance by
England of an imperturbable and friendly
/ attitude towards tho United States. He re-
garded the attitude taken by Mrs. Cleveland
after the rejection of the fisheries treaty
by the senate as ali unfortunate one. Tbs
utmost allowances ought to be made for
the American position on the Sack
willie affair in view OF the time it occurred.
Mr.. Geveland's action had been rather
sharp, but it did not Justify the meB
aces, sneers and sulks in which tbs
newspapers OF England had INDUCED. A wai
between England and America, he declared
would be more atrocious and dangerousth that
any war since God created the earth. II,
trusted that the governments policy 10
wards the new Washington Administrative
would be conceived with a view to making
the American people our best allies on oil
questions and TO producing a durable friend
ship between the E~nglish-speaking races
thus guaranteeing to humanity in turn thi
blessings of liberty and peace.

A Young Gernlan-American. wl

A young Gerp,an-American, who
by q four years residence in Africa is
entitled to add another to his list o.
aationalities, has just returned from
the Congo region. He brings bach
with him a young African prince
nine years old, whose father is king
in the Lonagon Country. The objec,
OF this visit to this country is tc
civilize the prince, teach him the
language and customs of the United
States, and then return him to his
native land. Bringing the Lad here,
rather than to Germany, will teach
him our language and methods Of
Government, and undoubtedly better
st him for usefulness when he returns.
But it does seem strange that an
ayowediy German colonization Of
Africa should take this course.

Great changes have been made in the

cemetery (as IT is now called the only

situated within three miles of Great
Falls. Ready access is afforded by the
main road to Sand Coulee. The ground is
situated on a gentle, sloping hill afford
ing beautiful view of the surrounding
country and all the mountain ranges in
the distance. Plans providing for mag
niticent avenues, &c. have been prepared.
Suffi cient lots have been laid out for the
winter and the company is now prepared
to dispose of them at such prices as TO
meet the needs Of all. 1t is believed
that the system used for plating the
grounds will meet the demands Of all
interested. Part is intended for the
burial Of strangers or Of persons desiring
to reserve single lots. The size Of these
are 5x1O feet, which is large and adequate
for adornmsnt. Another portion is de
voted to family lots. These are 10x14
feet with wide roomy pathways. The
plating was done by County Surveyor
Kern.
