Brussels, April 22.-Don Carlos, the
Spanish pretender, in an interview
here, said: II am convinced that the
Cuban insurgents will make common
cause with Spain, for fear of being alb
sorbed by America" Without ex-
pressing absolute confidence in the tri-

Don Carlos expressed the opinion that
the patriotism of Spain will work

Dear Editors:-I was much in.
terested in the article, "Sleeping
Heroes in Shiloh Park" in your
issue Of May 13, and only to add
fact do [ trouble you. The
government does not furnish flags
TO the cemeteries. 1t is the G. A.
II. headquarters. But in this in
stance it is the generous Loyal
Legion of Illinois, and the super
intendent is under obligations as
far as he can, decently, save them,
and yearly forward the facts. And
how inspiring for the future great
ness Of Columbia; and how thank
full to God for such remarkable
demonstrations as we are con-
stantly seeing Of our sons, without
section, rushing to uphold the
glorious emblem Of Gods own
cause. IT will satisfy the most
bitter and thoughtless that we are
of The same blood and interest, as
has been so unquestionably dem
onstrated III those unapproachable
exhibits Of manhood for so long a
period of endurance as to place
far beyond the marking of section
alism. And, Precious Father, be
pleased to remove far from us as
a nation the dire consequences of
its mention, and let us plainly see
that it is His divine purpose in
establishing this form of human
government in Gods country,
among his own people, IFS grand
limits of influence and results will
not be mentioned as bounded even
by the grand oceans LAYING our
lovely shores so extensive, but
from pole to pole. During that
season Of remarkable suffering
and preparation we cannot but
recognize the directing hand of
our God i'll leading us to the foun.

GLADSTONE Sleeps.
The End Came at ) O'clock
wednesday Morning.

Hawarden, May is. = William
Ewart Gladstone died at 5 o'clock
this morning. The death of Mr..
Gladstone is the topic of the hour
in Great Britain, and even over
continental Europe the evidence
of sympathy is universal.
President Faure has been an
anxious seeker after news con.
corning the "grand old man." who
has passed into the shadow. The
press of Belgium, France, Italy
and Greece recall how many OPP.
pressed people he has supplicated
in his eventml life. Even the
newspapers of Madrid speak we'll
Of him.
History records few careers as
remarkable as that of William
Ewart Gladstone. OF his So
years, GA have been spent in
active services for his country.
Mr.. Gladstone's chief efforts
have been the establishment of
free trade and the repeal of the
paper duty, the extension of tae
franchise TO the workmen of the
towns and the enfranchisement of
the rural householder. He estab-
lished secret voting. 1t was his
administration that passed the
first education act. He assisted
in the emancipation of the Jews
and the liberation Of labor from
the combination laws. He first
taught democracy by his Irish
land act, and compelled the Brit.
ish public to consider the feasibil-
ity of subordinate and statutory
parliaments within the British
Isles. He fought the divorce
