defense, was around the states attor.

termination of Judge Tuthill to keey
the jury until Saturday night before
he permits it to go with a disagree

ENGLAND AND HER COLONIES.

1t seems as the only way along
consolidation is that of imperial de-
Tense. In ommon contribution to a
common navy there is a policy at once
feasible and fruitful. To the Austria
lian colonies belongs the credit of TAX
ing the step in this direction. Their
contribution to the navy was, however,
a purely colonial contribution for
colonial purposes. The cruisers they
supplied we're under the agreement to
be confined to Australian waters. Even
with this businesslike stipulation it
was a fine example to set the other
colonies. Cape Colony so far has been
the only colony to profit by it. On
June 10 Mr.. Goschen, the first lord of
admiralty, announced to a brilliant
gathering at st. Georges club that he
tad that morning received the present
of a tirst-class battle-ship from Cape
Colony. The gift was unattended by
any conditions. The ironclad is to be
placed freely and unreservedly at to
disposal Of the admiralty. The prime
cost of a firSt-class battle-ship is some
thing under IS, 900, 900. The revenue of
Cape Colony is a little over s25, 000,-
600. She is therefore setting apart,
unasked, one-fifth of a whole years
income for the purpose of imperial de-
fence. The Cape Parliment has yet
to signify its assent to this gift, but
there seems no reason to doubt tn.
hesult of the voting. No more splendid
proof could be given of the passionate
loyalty which holds the empire to-
together, And that sentiment of
loyalty is the backbone OF the British
empire, No cut-and-dried scheme OF
federation can knit the nations to-
gether with the intensity of that un.
changing patriotism. The present en-
thusiasm in England may lead to moth
ing tangible in the way of consolida.
ton. Nothing tangible is wanted.
All the colonies need is the assurance
ttat England is proud of them, is de-
te1mined to keep them, and If need
be will protect them with her force.
On that foundation Of good will and
sympathy the British empire is indie
structible.-Harper's Weekly.
