 ENGLAND.


 After the rugged force of Dr. Temple, the suave personality of Dr. Randall Davidson will fill the Chair of St. Augustine. His appointment is another testimony to the instinct of Queen Victoria in her estimation of men, for. according to the standard by which ecclesiastics are ordinarily judged, Ran dall Davidson had but few claims to preferment when his sovereign chose him in 1883 to be Dean of Windsor, and her own immediate adviser in spiritual affairs. He was a passman-through no fault of his own, be it said-at Ox- ford; he had made no important con- tribution to literature; he had never been responsible for the administra- ton of a great parish. But he had been closely associated with Arch bishop Tait as Domestic Chaplain, and in that capacity had been charged with the duty of conducting a great deal of correspondence with her Majesty, who divined the mental capacity of the young clergyman. From that day for ward his advancement was assured The cloistered case of Windsor led to the tolls of the diocese of Rochester, Church of England; Rochester, as in the one of the most laborious positionsin the case of his predecessor, Bishop Thorold led to Winchester, with the stateliness of Farnham Castle and the dignity of the Garter: and now the highest posi- tion open to an English Churchman has been attained.

Grand Opera House.

The stirring comedy drama, For Love and Honor," which palpitates with interest, intensely human and which has enjoyed a most successful season, was splendidly presented at the Grand opera house last night. The production was finished one in every respect, not scene or a part being overdrawn or distorted in any way and the story revealed was @ sweet and beautiful yet pathetic and human as ever witnessed in this city. A large audience filled the popular playhouse despite the indictment weather and all were thrilled and delighted by the faithful and lifelike portrayal of the characters of the play. The personnel of the company is much above the av- craze and their very enthusiastic re- ception must have been extremely gratifying. While "For Love and Honor" Is one of the most intensely dramatic pieces on the stage to-day and numerous mechanical devices are introduced, nothing is overdrawn. The saving of the fast express, the hero- ines ride for home and honor and the mine explosion are impressive and real istic spectacles. The story related is one which appeals to the inmost soul of all who see it. For Love and Honor" will be repeated tonight and tomorrow, with Saturday matinee.
 Hearts of Oak with it's trained company of artists, it's children, its singers and it's wealth of realistic scenic effects, is to be presented at the Grand opera house next Monday, Tues day and Wednesday evenings, Febru- ary 2, 3, A. and at the Wednesday mati- nee. The production is under the di- rection of Mrs. James A. Herne, widow of the famous actor-author.

ENGLAND's USE OF BLACK MEN
 IN WAR


 MT. Chamberlain's action in declaring that the kaffir chiefs who fought on our side against the Boers shall receive medals marks the end of a long hypocrisy. Up till the close of the war the Government strea1riously denied that any native had fought for US at all. If they did not fight. why reward their bravery? If, on the other hand, they were noncombatants. to bestow medals at all is to abuse a coveted distinction. But if they were combatants, then Mr. Chamberlain convfcts his Government of deliberate and complicated lie. It Is, of course matter of history that the natives did fight on our side, and, further, that their employment was one of the two main causes that induced the Boers to surrender.-London Speak CT.
