Richard Cromweii Abdicates, 1660, April 22 ~The history of the Brit. ish Empire, like that of other great nations, has been moulded from time to time by seemingly trivial incidents, but its course has never been more markedly deflected by the sheer pas- sivity and laek of character of a sin- gle individual as it was by Richard Cromwell, the third son of the Great Protector, who gladly left the high office his fathér had held, two hun- dred and fifty-nine yéars ago to-day; Untdl the deaths of his two brothers, Richard had lived a retired life, but when Oliver Cromwell became em- powered to name his Successor Rich- ard-was brought to the front, and a fruitless attempt was made to train him to the work of government. That he was allowed to step into his fa- ther's shoes was probably due to the 0 iw ETH p------ Just, But Denied.

They'd al- most rather be caught doing some- thing wrong than to parade a good impulse. The Editorial Writer, (London Advertiser) Every day we look over the editor- fals that appear in a hundred or more papers, and if there's a touch in. any one of them that may have helped someone, we feel that work cannot be measured by a pay envelope for fact that. the bulk of the nation were content to be ruled by one who, while weak and incompetent, was, at-any rate, wo soldier, .no Puritan, and ne innovator Richard was known to] be lax and worldly in his cofiduet, but he was suspeeted of being a Royalist at heart He had hardly settled dowii in his new office when trouble arose in the army, Which demanded that a soldier be appointed as com- mander-in-chief. in place of the new protector, who had assumed the com- mand Their tone was so menacing that parliament replied with a de- mand that the Council of Officers should be dissolved The reply of the army wag a demand that parlia- ment itself should be disbanded, and Richard made the. fatal mistake of complying with their request This was the beginning of the end, and when troubles and jealousies arose in the army itself it was evident that the end was near, and it was not long before it was agreed that "According to the ancient and fundamental laws of this Kingdom, the government is, and ought to be by Kings, Lords, and Commons." King Charles was at once invited to return, and on that is needed when the war-worn veter. ans march our streets on Wedne:- day afternoon. Let the® reception be a hearty one. The boys deserve it.

A chairman and ° sécrétary were appointed," but there was no enthusiasm shown by citizens in identifying themselves - with the league. Money was raised to help day, says Greene, the historian, "mog- ern England began." After the re- storation, Cromwell lived for a time abroad, under a feigned name, biit he returned to his native land about 1680, and passed the remainder of his life at Cheshunt, where he died in 1712, being buried in the church of Hurley, in Hampshire . On Thursday the death occurred at Miles City, Montana, of a former resident of Lyn, in Mrs. John de Cagle. The deceaged was a daugh- ter of the late M#, and Mrs' Andrew Wilson, Lyn. She was born there fifty-four years age. % Qld Cobalt blue and gold jugs holding a pint and pint and a half, the fellow who wrote it.

It 1s ineonceivable that the taxpayers of Kingston are the only people inter. ested in the welfare of the British navy and the sailors of the mercan- tile marine, 1 Speaking under fie auspices of the Canadian Chih on Thursday evening, Peter Wright showed. that the British navy had elaims upon every British subject throughout the Empire, and that it ought to be given most generous support. He showed that a fleet ig required far the 'proteetion of the different parts of the Empire, its trade routes and commerce. This was conclusively demonstrated by the great war. Tha fleet must he independent of any foreign country, and be m ned by British-born, a thing not aifficurt or accomplishment if al parts of the Empire were fully alive to the need of active support.
