The island of Malta la at present ^ greatly angered at lta British gorern- r--}: on. The complaints of the Maltese . 11uwre been treated with contempt by >7 ^ Mr. Chamberlain, the secretary for the colonies and have been passed over ^ by parliament The case for the na- tlves has been put in the shape of a >3..7. ^jpaaphlet addressed "To the English , , ' Nation," which the London Dally ^Chronicle condenses, with extracts, aa '7 follows -rJBriUsli rule, . ^ .VUU«D, It Is pointed out that the Msttass have been for a century under and during all this have given constant proofs of loyalty. They were always, and are Still, proud to belong to England, but their contention is that they harre al­ ways claimed In rain those benefits which they considered should hare ac- 4: ;i|«r«ad to them from this urtlon. The S££]~j| Maltese have m> tor claimed In rain >• ' ** to IMIT« their tiome They bare 2~u " k uselessly applied to the imperial gw- v I through a d*pnt*tioB sent to n ^ fLondon In 1809. with a view of pro tasting against the substitution of the English language for the Italian, and of obtaining the political freedom to administer their own government. Their just claims have been obstinate­ ly rejected, and they are now groaning under a military government always They hare now £VV" St. i^'|»srerer and harsher. !£$ decided to make an appeal to the gen- ~ people, hoping that herons English 'S.7:i;t« ^ their moderate pretensions may be taken up by the British parliament ^ England has always been the school of freedom, and we are, therefore, sure that our appeal to the generosity itht English nation will not be In 7! rain." ' ' " " ' The appeal claims that the decision £7 "0 of the peopM on the language question, 'pX' -<• and on that of the taxes, could not £ ; - " A have been more unanimously ezpress- ^ fi«4 than in the meetings held on May I and June 2. vf] "With reference to the language question we beg to state that those ^official members of the council of got- ^"I '^Swnment to whom the task is entruct- ed of bringing about the substitution ,^.,^of the English for the Italian lan- >'v |;guage, have frequently misrepresent- |j7" Led the bearings of this subject; it is, - rtherefore, our duty frankly to declare Jj^jjthat no one is contrary to the teach- f^-'l'lng of the English language and to its diffusion In Malta, but that all Mai are contrary to Its substitution •Stor Italian, are contrary to the exclu- 7".; of the latter from these islands. ^i "!|'This opposition of the Maltese, being v ':";yjthus briefly and clearly defined, Its injustice Is self-evident, and it becomes 4-'quite Intelligible that the Maltese are tasking for what they have a right, and •'^maintain what the government can- t" *-|-not deprive them of without commit- v". -^ ting an act of the most odious vio» vlence." r •' ;>f Malta, it la contended, at its self r'7 .4«e<,B^on *° Britain, received the " |«nost solemn promises from the King 4. ; (Ijthat the rights of the Maltese would vr .always be protected. Among these p-; ,;j|lrlghts the Italian language is declared be Included, and its maintenance ^ :;^in Its ancient position Is absolutely Insisted upon, in regard to the state­ ment that the government desire for the ClfWbstltution of English for Italian for pthe benefit of the Maltese are well able Ho judge of their own interests. It is ddad: "Witt regard to the question of ^T^taxes, there is little to say; the unani- Vv*"!flnous declarations of all classes of the ;> f jpopulation, especially of the clergy ;;V; | jand of the legal body, to the effect that f Maltese are not in a position to pay r * .? heavier taxes than they now do, is i Juuite an Insurmountable objection jtp 3^ i?the creation of new taxes. Malta, once -• •' |»o prosperous, la now reduced almost r7 1 Jto misery. To this reason another - • ^ \ tnay be added--and this Is, that so ' i*|ong as Malta is deprived of admin- i latering its own government, so far as bifocal affairs are concerned, the govern- '• '»* gnent has no right to appeal for fur- ; *ther taxes. We conclude by express- * l^^g our hope that our Just demands "• jfor a better constitution and our most v. \'|«j&nergetic opposition to the substitution the English language for tha c c' ̂ Italian and the creation of new taxes, ^ •; 'Will find a deserved appreciation in tO..- ; jrour sense of justice and humanity."

Rheu­ matism another painlul result of de­ ranged Kidneys added its tortures to her burden of pain. Treatments and medicines without number were tried; physicians also exhausted their skill, but all to no purpose. At this stage of the caae a treat­ ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills was re­ sorted to and the results were simply miraculous, from the very first box an improvement waa noticed and the continued treatment resulted in a complete cure. This remarkable cure created a de­ cided sensation In the neighborhood because of the complications of the case as well as its severity and appar­ ent hopsleHKness. Upon investigation Dodd's Kidney Pills are found to be the only remedy that has aver cured Brlght's Disease, Diabetea or Dropsy and these hitherto Incurable diseases are readily con- quered by this remarkable remedy.

One of the deepest mourners over t&e death ot Prmtim HoKinley is J. M. Sllllmann, an old man of Vlneland, N. J. He had known the late Presi­ dent from infancy and had many times held him on his knee and patted the head of the youngster who was des­ tined to beeooie the chief magistrate of the nation. Mr. Silliman says that the McKinley family then lived at Niles, O., and that he first knew the martyred President when the latter was only about 1 year old. I can still see in my mind's eye, Bays Mr. Silli­ man, the bright little chap in swad­ dling clothes that I used to give hob­ byhorse rides on my knee. Little Willie was an exceptionally bright child and I always predicted great things for him, but little did I dream that he would become the chief magis­ trate of the greatest government on earth. I never heard him say an un­ kind word to his parents. He was a good boy to his mother. Daek Ranches.
