RYVXS, Sheffield. 12, Paradise-street, Sheffield, Aug. 13, 1900. Messrs. Newton and Lawrence. Dear Sirs,—I thank you for the sample of Non-alcoholic Lager Beer you so kindly sent me. I think it a capital beverage and a good substitute for the ordinary beer. Medical men are often asked by their patients when advising them to discontinue drinking beer: Well, doctor, what can I take instead ? I cannot drink water." I shall have no hesitation in recom- mending your Lager Beer, more especially now that I know the composition of the same, as there is nothing deleterious in it or anything likely to do harm by long continued use-on the contrary, it would act as a good stomachic, and restore that organ to its proper state, and would also restore the appetite. Hoping you will have good success with the same, as it is deserving of it.—Believe me, yours faithfully, W. EDGAR RYVES. L.R.C.P., &c. Sole Proprietor-NEWTON & LAWRENCE, Norwich and London.

IVOTE OF CONFIDENCE.
VOTE OF CONFIDENCE. If ever a Government received a renewed vote of confidence from the country it is the present Administration. The General Election is to-day practically over, with the solitary exception of the contest in far-away Orkney and Shetland, where the islanders do not record their votes until next Tuesday and Wednesday. The campaign opened with an unprecedented number of unopposed returns, al- most all of which were in favour of the Ministry, and the Unionists have not only maintained that lead throughout, but have daily increased it, until to-day they stand before the country with a clear majority of 130, which is just two more than the majority which the Government held at the date of the Dissolution. This tremendous preponderance of Unionist opinion is all the more remarkable when it is remem- bered that the Government had to combat the notorious tendency in all constituencies at all times towards the swing of the pendulum to the opposite side. The aggregate of votes cast for Unionist candidates throughout the whole country will also be found on compilation to fully bear out the relation of the two parties in Parliament. In view of this staggering fact Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman has the audacity to avow that unless the Government received a bigger majority than they dissolved upon, it would be tantamount to a slap in the face." A more transparent fallacy was surely never uttered, and a proposition of that kind comes with singular maladroitness from a party which has never been able in its palmiest days to approach the overwhelming majority which Lord Salisbury has now com- manded twice in succession. The only explana- tion which the beaten and discredited Radicals are driven back upon is the lame one that, if it had not been for this khaki fever, the Radicals would have been returned to place and power on this occasion. These sanguine prophets alto- gether overlook the fact that this khaki fever, which so stinks in their nostrils, is the direct outcome of Radical misgovernment in the past. Nineteen years ago Mr. Gladstone was con- fronted with the same task as Lord Salisbury took in hand in South Africa a year ago, only with this important difference that the work then was small compared with the present. Mr. Gladstone was entrusted by the nation with the duty of chastising the truculent Boers. After the comparatively insignificant reverse of Majuba Hill, he sub- mitted to an everlastingly disgraceful capitu- lation, which has been the root and origin of all our troubles in the Transvaal from then tiU now. It is not straining a point to say that if a Gladstonian Administration had been in charge of our present war it would not have stuck manfully to its duty all through the long siege of Ladysmith and the dark days when Buller was fighting every inch of ground round the Tugela. The country appreciates this patent fact, and it has with an emphatic voice declared its trust in the present Government who, with the aid of our gallant soldiers and sailors, have prosecuted the struggle to the triumphant end which is now in sight. What more logical consequence than that the Government who have had the courage, the perseverance to carry through the weighty responsibilities of a war of this magnitude should be entrusted with the no less momentous task of effecting a satisfactory pacification and settlement of the country ? It is beside the point for Radical candidates to make a belated recantation, and to profess their equal determination with the supporters of the Government to see this thing through to the bitter end. Men are judged by their actions more than by their words, also by the company they keep; and it would be criminal folly to entrust the men who arranged the Majuba surrender and the men who hob- nob with pro-Boers like Mr. Labouohere and Dr. Clark to have one more try at tinkering with a problem which they have proved their utter unfitness to handle. However much Radicals at home may seek to deprecate the view that a victory for the Opposition at the present crisis would be virtually a triumph for the Boers, it is the view adopted by our Continental neigh- bours, as is plainly reflected in the leading Continental journals. The Continent now sees and frankly acknowledges that the British people have pronounced not only in favour of the firm South African policy of the Govern- ment but emphatically in favour of Imperialism. France, Germany and Russia see that they have again to deal with Lord Salisbury, and as a result the policy of pin-pricks which he so signally scotched a little while ago will be abandoned by those scheming diplomatists of the Continent. One outstanding feature of the elections which have just closed has been the gratifying signs of a reawakening Imperialism north of the Tweed. Scotland, which used to be regarded as a pocket borough for Mr. Glad- stone, has within the past few weeks given the Unionists six new seats, and lost only one. This happy result is doubtless largely due to the successful Colonial policy pursued by Mr. Chamberlain. No part of the British Isles con- tributes so largely to emigration as SQotland, and it is a notorious fact that the most rabid Radical at home is soon converted in the Colonies to the staunchest of Imperialists. The Scots are a slow, cautious people, but once the tide has begun to turn in the far north, a con- siderable accession of Unionist strength may be confidently anticipated on the next appeal to the constituencies. Mr. Maconachie's splendid victory on Saturday in that erst- while hotbed of R £ ticalism, East Aberdeen- shire, is significant beyond words. The retiring Radical member, Mr. Buohanan, who, at the last contest, had a comfortable majority of 1,415, is now ignominiously rejected by a Unionist majority of 73. In our own neighbourhood, while matters have not gone quite so brightly as one could have desired, there is no occasion for despair. Crewe is admittedly a loss and a surprise so far as the figures go, for no optimist would have credited Mr. Tomkinson in advance with such a substantial margin. Crewe thud reverts for the present to its original Radicalism, but it is useless attempting to disguise the fact that the late member's prolonged absence in South Africa must have acted prejudicially in the Unionist interest, and had a bye-election taken place when it was threatened some time since the verdict of the constituency would have been vastly different. It is some compensation for the loss of a seat at Crewe that Sir John Brunner's majority of 1,638 in 1895 has been pulled down to 699 by Mr. Samson as the result of a short three weeks' work. Notwithstanding Sir John's strong bread-and-butter hold upon the electors, his pronounced anti-Imperialist views, to describe them in the mildest language, have disgusted hundreds of his former adherents, and it is quite on the cards that on the next election he will receive his marching orders. Mr. Samson certainly deserves every credit for the whole- souled manner in which he .threw himself into the fray, and he is to be complimented upon reducing the once seemingly impregnable Radical stronghold of Northwich until its cap- ture is now well within the region of possibility. It remains only to be regretted that Colonel Howard's gallant assault upon Flintshire has again failed. The soldier candidate fought at a manifest^disadvantage with six or seven thousand miles of sea between him and the voters, and it is a justifiable assump- tion that, had the election been post- poned until after the war, and the Colonel had been enabled to stand before the electors in all the glamour of his war-worn glory, the effect upon the electorate would have been remark- able. And yet, in face of this, the Radicals audaciously complain that the Government have trickily snatched a victory by profiting by the khaki vote. The khaki vote, however, may be of some real service next time, and we trust Colonel Howard will be here to profit by it.
. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. Scarcely have the electors had time to recover their breath after the late Parliamentary con- L- 8- I 'I. ft test Deiore tney are piungea into cue vortex or the municipal battles of November. It is doubtless owing to the concentration of in- terest in the General Election that the municipal struggle has not yet received pub- licity, but from all we can gather arra ngements are pretty well advanced for the campaign in the wards. In St. John's, where Mr. Frank Brown, elected so lately as April in the present year, retires along with Mr. C. W. Dutton, there is a prospect of a lively fight. To challenge the return of these two gentlemen Dr. Mann and Mr. C. G. Haswell, chartered accountant, Foregate- street, are being requested to stand. Dr. Mann is a well-known and highly popular medical practitioner in the city, and one in whom the ratepayers would repose every confidence. Mr. Haswell is probably still more widely known, for he is a native ot Chester, and having been in business here for a quarter of a century, knows the requirements of the ward and of the city generally. He is known as a shrewd business man, and in every respect qualified for municipal honours and work. Mr. Haswell is also a freeman, and we understand the freemen of the city are determined to have in St. John's ward a member of their body who will properly represent their interests, and they will, there- fore, support Mr. Haswell to a man. In the other wards considerable uncertainty still exists as to the chances of a contest. The retiring members for Boughton are Mr. John Frost and Mr. S. Coppack, and up to the time of writing uo rumour of opposition had reached us. Mr. Giles and Mr. Moss retire in St. Mary's,and the former will, of coarse, again come forward. How long the Radicals are prepared to submit to the non-representation of their interests in this ward by the absentee Mr. Moss we do not know, but the present would seem to be a fitting opportunity for getting rid of this incubus—a Town Councillor who does no com- mittee work and comes out only at the monthly meetings of the Council, when there is an opportunity to advertise himself, and sometimes to advertise his own crass ignorance of matters municipal. Trinity will witness the retirement of Mr. James Frost and Mr. Tom Browne, both of whom are understood to be anxious for re-election. Although no name has yet been mentioned, it is quite probable that a third candidate will be found for this ward, in order to provide the elements for a fight. Mr. B. C. Roberts and Mr. Denson are the retiring members for Trinity. Mr. Roberts's interesting address to the electors appears among our advertisements, and it rather improbable that he will encounter any opposition, but a report has got abroad of a Labour candidate for this district, and he can be intended only to elbow out Mr. Denson, who is said to have given umbrage to his own party." In- asmuch as Mr. Denson was returned to the Council on independent lines, it is amusing to hear of his own party," but those who have noted this councillor's actions and votes on several critical occasions will be able to form their own conclusions as to the party which is meant. Mr. Denson, in their opinion, has carried the policy of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds quite far enough.

Who is to be the new Mayor of Chester ? The question is in everybody's month, but the answer nowhere. The man in the believes that Chester's next Chief will be found in either Mr. John Frost or Jf* James Frost, but both the cousins deny report, and, in the event of their refusal to it is hard to see where a Mayor will be unless recourse be had to some gentlem&n y, has already filled that office, and who is williat to enjoy the expensive luxury again. fc ■:

Amusing, is it not, to watch with what s^' sufficiency the Radicals arrogate to themsel a monopoly of all the Christian virtues election time ? Thus we are gravely info*111 in a Radical journal that at a meeting of tbo party at Connah's Quay the other day a ¡jfr long Tory was so impressed by having fOO04 Mr. Samuel Smith to be a conscientious and God-fearing man" that he there and declared he would vote for him, and if he a thousand votes he would give him the lot. The unsophisticated reader may be pardoned fot wondering upon what evidence this mysterio Tory elector founded his conviction, also "ba steps he took to ascertain the religious Via of the Unionist candidate. Was it to emphasise the contention that Mr. Smith was the onll conscientious and God-fearing candidate in the field that he held so many of his electiols meetings in Dissenting places of worship ?

Everybody who has taken a hand in tb. recent struggle for the representation of Flintshire, irrespective of party feeling, vetfl readily admit the remarkable zeal and industry with which Mrs. Howard has prosecuted bse absent husband's candidature. Nothing codl have excelled her untiring activily in caD" vassing the constituency and making charøÏDI little speeches all over the county. 'b' disappointing result of the poll must have b"A particularly poignant to the lady who had doøB so much to attain success, and it would be peculiarly graceful act on the part of the Unionist ladies of the county if they were t* place on record in some tangible form tbeit high appreciation of the service rendered bl Mrs. Howard to the Constitutional cause this eventful election.

«. If Parliamentary honours were distributed 0 the grounds of indomitable pluck and uø" swerving devotion to one's party, no one Would be better entitled to the reward than JIt. James Tomkinson. For almost a score of ye**? Mr. Tomkinson has been in the thick °* politics, and until Saturday night he received not a single recompense for his long years of weary fighting in the Radical interest Five separate rebuffs at the polls, four of thoo in his own county, would have been sufficient- quench the political zeal of many a platfollo gladiator, but Mr. Tomkinson had learnt biI lesson of Bruce and the spider, and had declined to smile upon him even at Crewe tO time, there is no doubt he would have up smiling at the next opportunity of a there or elsewhere. The only pity is that & much political energy should have expended upon such a poor cause.
