Count Alclehert Sternberg Has Had His Eyes Opened. The London Times prints a letter from Count Aldobert Sternberg, tvho took part in the Boor campaign, and Who Oeelares the troattnent ho has received from the British press and official and non-otlicial Englishmen leaves him no eatiSe to be an Anglo- phobe. Sternberg says, while England is hated, the Englistuaan is respected and lovetl. Hatred always arises from Ist senee of morarand mental in- jury, and to title extent the Con- tinent has a right to hale England, because her policy Is at all times di- rected to promoting 'Oontinental complications. The Continent does not understand the Boer war, and attacks England's political morality because it misunderstands the politi- cal principle which England repro-. smite, the principle in Which is Eng- land's greatness. Re says that the English recognize only two factors in the world, namely, God and Itng- land. • The economic advantage to be de- rived from the gold fields, says Sternberg, was merely a coetribute ory cause of the South African war. The real cause making action im- perative was the English principle, the essence of'which la ft•eia trade and straightforward competition. On the Continent this feeling is not under- stood, because the Continent does not enjoy the blessings of civiliza- tion and Government based on the word "straight." Sternberg soys he always thought England was the enema' of the Continent until he via. Rod the Mated States and studied economie conditions there. 130 eow believes that Continental hatred of England is ungrateful, and the Con- tinent opght to awake end recognize that its -true enemy is arising in the West, like a great sun of gold, whose rays baeve already been projected across the Atlantic. America's only principle, he says; M worship of mammon. Germany and all Europe should Join with leniglancl, TO FUMIGATE LUMBERMEN. Ottawa Will Take Precautions Against Smallpox. An Ottawa despatch says :—Reolth Oflicer Law is considering the advisa- bility of fumigating all lumbermen and their effects as soon as they ar- rive in Ottawa. It is expected that considerable disease, 'especially smallpox, may possibly be brought down from the woods when the mon conic down in the spring, and in order that every precaution may he taken, Dr. Law thinks it would be advisable to have every man quar- antined for a sufficient time to have him and his effects thoroughly dis- infected. Dr, -Trade:a18, provincial Inspector, was asked what he thought of this SCIAOMO, and said he thoroughly ap- proved of it. He is of tho opinion that there may bo considerable dan- ger when the woodsmen come out, and that till precautions should be taken. Tho inspector left for the lumber camps along the Parry Sound Railway on Thursday afternoon, Re has don° very good work In Russell County M organizing the Boards of Health. DEATH'S HARVEST.
