of The Expositor have di tidied t , take
the step without waiting for the deti-

isnot teeny worth three cents • week
is hardly worthy of existence. The
trouble id that new"papets have been

that readers lake for granted' that
these low rates are permanent and ate

Lord Roaebery, is opening the

said ;
There have been two great wrpe4M
la this eigantle war. one surprise has
been for ourselves and ase fur the
enea The sur prise for ourselves
was t� that we could out oonoeive IL
possible that a great civilised country
which believed itself to stand at the
bead of the culture of the world. whieb
bad achieved a prueper.ty beyond all
hue dream., with a commerce un-
esempled in the history of the world,
having potent armies and poteot fleet"
for it.. defence -we could not believe
it porible that this nation was ail the

Judas bisees, Its thief vlsitiog Rog

simple -hearted people, attended by the
chief of bit spie.-wecould not tellers

erate and infatmous conspired agalott
the liberties of the world, wart all the
time piotliog a war tit which no
human being can me the limits, but
which every Child cam gee weans the
ruin and devastation of Eon pr.
We could not believe that at the
commencement of ibis war it would
tsar up a treaty to which its solemn
ore had been wore than once
■ ted, and that it could ravage and
devastate and ruin an innocent king-
dom which it hopes to add to its em.
pire. We could not believe that it
would geek by amens which I will not
characterize to .ink passenger vessels
containing hundreds and thousands of
innocent travellers -all in the lust of
ewe vile idea ofconquest, which, God
helping us, will o bifuln11-d.
That was a surprise which was not
a pleasant surprise. Petfldy of upper -
env friends. the uprooting of all ideas
of international honor, the destruction
of the basis on which all civilization
must rest.
The other surprise wee for our ene-
mire. They had plotted everywhere,
they bed planted spier everywhere.
What ba" been the reau:t ? From the
moment war was declared. ever y part
of the Empire leaped up as If by one
impulse anal rushed to the assistance
of the Mother Country. That is the
glorious surprise our enemies have
unconsciously prepared for us ; that

ian might vety well write a book on

mete that many virtuous contempor-
arise approved of the massacre of Rt.
fiertbolemew, when Pope Gregory
XIII. ordered • Te ileum and otber
rejoicings to celebrate so signal • 'ter-
ries to Jesus Christ. Similarly we.
may be rare t hat many of the Eliza-
lwthen English who applauded, the
wholesale mao... re of the Irish were.
as regards their own country, honest
and kitedly Reoliemen. Frouds, who
is by no means pro-Irishin his reading
of b'story, observes in teg•rd to throve
,besemeres:
"The English nation was abmiddrr:ng
over the atrocities of the Duke of
Alva 1 n Holland). The cb•Idren in

The whole seers; of the will to mar
