It is with deep regret that we record the death

of Lady Campbell-Bannerman, which occurred at Marienbad on Thursday afternoon. The sympathy of the whole nation will be with the Prime Minister in the terrible blow that has fallen on him. It is true that the blow was not unexpected, but all who have been engaged in a long struggle for life will know that months of anxiety, and even of resignation, give little mitiga- tion of grief in the supreme hour. We can only hope that Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman may find in the discharge of his arduous public duties some relief for his great sorrow.
