HOW THE PRISONER WAS RESCUED

HOW THE PRISONER WAS RESCUED.
In the battle of Poitiers (1356) num-
Der of Scottish soldiers fought on the
side of the French, and several of them
were taken prisoners by the English.
Among them was Sir Archibald Doug
las, half brother of Lord William Doug
las. Being dressed in a suit of splendid
armor, the victors thought they had cap
tured-as indeed they had-some great
nobleman. Several of the English were
about to strip off his armor, when Sir
William Ramsay of Colluthie, who was
also prisoner, happening to catch Sir
Arihibald's eye, gave him meaning
look. Pretending to be very angry, he
cried out, "You rascal, how is it that you
are wearing your masters armor? Come
here and pull of my boots" Douglas,
seemingly thoroughly cowed, went for
ward and pulled off boot, with which
Sir William began to beat him. The
English onlookers at once interfered on
Douglas behalf, saying that he was
person of great rank and lord. what"

OUR FREE LIST.

The Mckinley tariff freed our foreign
trade from hundreds of tariff duties which
yielded revenue rather than protection
and increased to American consumers the
cost of all articles subject to them. To-
day under the new tariff more than half
of the imports into the United States are
admitted free Of duty. The free list of the
Mckinley law embraces oss provisions for
absolute free trade in articles upon which

II is easy for English Tories to sneer at
Gladstone's victory as barren triumph,
but in their hearts they feel that
IL is not barren; it may be victory de.
ferred, but it is surely not victory lost,
because neither in England nor America
do real revolutions in public opinion ever
move backward. 1t is true that Gladstone
has converted Tory parliamentary ma.
jority of l19 at the close of the elections of
1886 into an adverse majority of forty, and
the Tory popular majority of 5000 six
years ago has become Gladstone popular
majority Of over 100000. 1t is quite prob
able that Mr.. Gladstone's new govern
ment, which is soon to succeed that Of
Lord Salisbury, may not be able to enact
home rule measure for some years to
come. bus the moral advantage of this
home rule victory cannot be nullified by
the opposition. In face of large popular
majority for home rule no Tory ministry
can hope hereafter to successfully enact
coercion in order to repress political agita-
ton in Ireland. The policy of ameliora.
ton must henceforth replace coercion,
even with Tory ministry.
The Liberal party Is the great impend-
Ing governing party of England for the
future and it has become permanently
identified with the home rule cause. Tn.
less a second appeal to the people is taken
ct once home rule is inevitable, and
second appeal so far from wiping out
Glsdstone's majority Of forty might raise
1t to 100. and In that event the house of
lords could not long afford to vote down a
home rule bill. The prospec. is that
whether Gladstone lives o. dies the Liberal
party will persist in urging home rule
until the experiment gets trial.
