Mr.. Gladstone rendered his resig-
nation Of the Premiership Of the Brit
ish Empire. on Saturday last. Mr..
Gladstone is regarded with Blsmark
and the Pope, as the greatest poll
tician of the age. His career has
been most remarkable; he entered
Parliament in 1882, became Cabinet
Minister III 1913, and Prime Minister
of England in 1868. At all times a
shrewd, but straight and honest poli-
tician, he exercised more influence
over the masses Of England than any
other being, not even excepting the
Queen. His Irish policy lighted up
for while the scale of his populari-
ty, but after struggle Of seven
years, he succeeded last year in
forcing the House OF Commons to
adopt his views concerning Ireland.
He met With defeat, however. in the
| House OF Lords, which rejected the
bill which be had prepared. His
resignation from the Premiership vii
prove a serious blow to the IrisE
cause, though he will continue ye
to occupy his seat in the House o
Commons, and maintain his view
He is succeeded in the Premiership
by Lord Roscbery.

day we have some one saying, that you
cannot sell leaf tobacco without first
procuring a license or paying tax OF
cents on each pound sold. Any farmer
can sell leaf tobacco OF his own growth
and raising without paying tax or Ii
cense of any kind. Just as he would
sell his wheat or corn or potatoes. but
the tobacco must be in the original
state of leaf, just as it was cured.
Twisting or manipulation of any sort
will subject the tobacco to the tax OF
