this country and take charge of a little

a little ship.
What difference does it make whether
he is Prince Henry or not? There are

honest man treats another. but why
should We bow down to these people any
more than to any other citizen"

people under the sun

official head OF his Government. Mr. |
Grosyenor said that history did not say
so; instead. he came in his private capac- !

terms the attitude of the Democratic Ad- |
