SIR REDVERS BULLER.

' ''Sir Beavers Buller must be added to that great army of distinguished men who have reason to pray to. be eayed from tbeir friends. "When the honors for services in South Africa were announced some weeks ago, 'The Army and Navy Gazette/ ' A Cube foe Chronic Biabrhoea. * About five years ago I was troubled with catarrh of the lower bowel,' say« 0. T. Chisholm, 484 Dearborn Aye , c Chicago, end although I consulted seve- <- ral eminent physicians who preicribed for me, I found their remedies failed to in any way relieve me, and the trouble almost. became chronic. After suffering - several months, I one day concluded to try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and I beg to assure yon that I was most agreeably surprised to find after taking two doses of the remedy that I was completely relieved of the disease that . bad oost me so much troubleWd annoyance. I' am thankful to ssy that I have not suffered from it sfooe.' 1 JW sale by R. 8. .Poison, Obtmist, p«ioe, Is 6d ; big list, 3*v '

which, on more than one occasion, has shown itself strangely jealous of Sir Bedvers' military reputation, declared that the list was neither ' exhaustive nor satisfactory,' and warned Lord Roberts that he might expect to be ' sharply taken to task for not insisting upon a more generous recognition of his brethern in arms.' But it did not place all the blame on the Bhoulders of the Commander-in-chief. 'There is good reason to believe,' it continued, ' that Lord Roberts fought bard for larger honours, but was overruled by Mr Brodnck." Having pre pared tbe ground in this way, it proceeded to denounce the slight cast upon its protege. 'It will come as a shock to the Service and to the public at large,' it complained, ' that no better reward can be found for Sir Bedvers Buller than, a Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George, an honor he is to Bhare with three others, Lord Kitchener, Sir Forestier Walker and Sir George White. It is an Order 1 that can hardly be called military, and assuredly it is the most beggarly and inadeqate recognition of tbe ser vices rendered by the Commander of the Army of Natal.' The * Gazette ' can hardly have wished its readers to think that Sirßedvers has been dishonored by being placed in the same category as Lord Kitchener and Sir George White. But it seemed rather to invite a comparison between tbe services of the three general, and c Tbe National Beview ' was not slow to make it. 'We should have thought/ that journal said, 'that tbe published despatches would have been sufficient to Bpare '' the Service " and *' the. public at large " from that " shock," which, according to " The-, Army and Navy Gazette," they suffer on learning that Sir Eedvera Buller is bracketed with the man who held Lfldysmith not only against the Boers, but in spite of the cowardly counsels which at one time dominated tbe Natal army.' This is, of course, an allusion to Sir Redvers' suggestion that the army shut up in Ladysmith should be abandoned to its fate, and we quite agree with ' Tbe Beview ' that • The Gazette's ' pet general is tbe luckiest man in tbe army to emerge from Colenso Spion Kop and Val Kranz wijb the G.C MG. and tbe command of one of the Home stations. If his friends had any tact at all they would, as ' The Beview ' puts it, be very glad to leave well alone.
