IS 900 reward, and Park county 5000 for

an able speech at Cinderford to-day in

would result in the disruption Of the Empire
was a calumny on the Colonies.

tons and improved inferences. The
proper weapons with which to meet the
foreigner were better education and train
ing and higher standard Of living.

clared his complete hostility to reversal
