oppression and cruelty. The aborigines
being practically exterminated, the
same cruel treatment was visited on
the Spanish colonists themselves and
upon the negroes who had been import

debate shall, directly or indirectly. by
any form of words, impute to another
Senator, or to any other Senators, any

1t was formally adopted.

Commanding Position.
Imperial England knows what she is
about. Those islands (the Bermudas)
besides being used as a garrison for
her troops and a safe-land-locked har-
Dor for her warships, are a link in the
chain that connects her American prov
inces in Canada and Nova Scotia with
her possessions in the West Indies. The
Bermudas occupy for her, politically
and commercially, a singularly COM
manding and an unrivaled position.

Mail and Express.
Spain parted with Cuba because she
was forced to, and she sold to the
American nation the Philippine Islands

the Bermudas, She would no more

every ship and her last drop of blood.
No; instead of parting with any Of her
colonies her policy is to increase them.

origin Of the name was recently told by
Sir Henry Stanley. When, twenty.
seven years ago, he was making a

a spacious bay. Calling to a native on
shore, he asked the name OF the place.
After repeated inquiries came a faint
