Arthur Bafour. "Glamis thou art, and Cawdor;
and shalt be What thou art promised"' and the
indubitablc promise was, Prime Minister of
England. 1t may be. Mr. Balfour is only
forty-eight years old. But for the present h. Is

There Is no need of entering into Il discussion
either Of the merits of the Education bill or of
the ways and means by which the Government
has been compelled TO withdraw that measure

For if a Nation have a State Church. which il

Criticisms Of the bill should therefore be aimed

SPANISH WAR TALK.

The obvious and sufficient answer 10 all this
hot-weathcr talk about Spain's intention TO de-
clare war against the United States is contained
in one word-Cuba. If her army is not able 10

overrunning that island, and if her navy is not
able to keep iilibustcring expeditions from land
