["After its recent behaviour, Ecuador cannot be said to have any credit worth talking about."—Times City Article, February 19.]
Ecuador, contento?
Ecuador! Ecuador!
You have all our money spent O,
Who will lend you more?
No one here on British shore
Will lend you more, Ecuador! Ecuador!
From H. W. L.'s Summary of the Debate last Thursday in the Daily News.—"Mr. Barlow approved the action of the Government in exempting coarser yarns from duties." This is not exactly what might have been expected from Mr. Barlow, but no doubt Masters Sandford and Merton in the Strangers' Gallery were mightily delighted at the prospect of "coarser yarns"—(which is only another name for men's stories after dinner when the ladies have left the room)—being "exempted from duties." Really our old friend, the preceptor of Sandford and Merton, has deteriorated, and Mr. Punch is severely against him on this point.
