these days guessing what Glad
stones policy viii be, and predict
ing that his tenure of office will be
short lived. The st. James Ga
zette, Conservative, says, under the
caption of "Leaping Into Dark
ness :" "The Government was
elected by majority that is sim
ply going it blind for the Grand
Old Man and a misunderstood
idea. If the disaster results in in
creased taxation, malignant bick-
erings with France, a. disgraceful
retreat from Egypt, an open breach
with Russia in Central Asia and
renewed outrages and rioting in
Ireland, the country has itself to
thank"

report of the failure of Baron
Hirsch's colony in Palestine is
true. The writer declares that the
condition of affairs at Moisville
battles description. The land
selected for the settlement was
lll-chosen, and an enormous num-
Der of families are huddled to-
gether in tents and sheds, where
they have been living for months
in idleness and intrigue. The
efforts to reform the colony made
by Colonel Goldsmid were the
cause of his receiving heaps of

'mid was obliged to ask for police
protection, and he therefore broke
up the colony. Eight hundred col
'nists sailed for Europe within a
month.
