any consideration.
sucb an argument as this, coming i'o'"
such a source. is strange INNS
an we have to say Of il is that queen
Victoria rules nearly four hundred mt
lions OF subjects. OF every race o' u''e'
brocd religion. and nationality, and that
bor Government knows no difference
,sha,o,.c, between A British subject OF
ono race and a British subject OF another.

fi,lod 10 the whole protection OF ell the

Uses. II Is useless to talk to the British
Government about these people not be-
ing all Englishmen. Trey are British
subjects ana that is all Il cares to know.
As for the Reviews sneors at much OF
the property and enterprises belonging
TO British absentee landlords. that Is an
ARGUMENT not worthy Of serious notice.
An Englishman's rights are his. never
mind what their situs may be- and, II ne
has the right, his government asks no
questions about where the right is To-
Gated. nor does any sensible and sei-Te-
speeding man.
The Review makes pointed comments
upon some English maps and statistical
books having at one time claimed GER
tain area for Guiana, and al other times
different one. Lord Salisbury disposed
of that matter in his letter TO Mr.. Olney,
when he said.
"1'he discrepancies in the frontier as
signed to the British colony, IN various
maps published in England, and erio-
neously assumed to be founded on Oh
fetal information are easily accounted
for by the circumstances which / have
mentioned Her Maiesty's Government
cannot. Of course, be responsible for such
publications made without their au-

son for this action Mr.. Gust himself does
