in rifle plact,ce Is constantly on the increase
and their efficiency is greater from year to
wear. For these advantages the National
Rife Association is largely responsible 1t
owns tho Creedmoor range, but circumstances
have so adjusted themselves that it cannot bear
the burden longer without embarrassment
Hence 1t is proposed to turn the range over 10
the State the association only reservng the
right to occupy 1t for one week each year
during its annual meeting. The expense to
tho State of maintaining the range would not
DO great the resulting benefit would certainly
outweigh this The subject is entitled to
thoughtful consideration.
THE TRIBUNE's special cable dispatch to-
day is of uncommon importance. Upon author
ity which nc regards as excellent, our London
correspondent gives an outline OF the pro-
gramme which the Government will undertake
to carry through at the coming session OF Far
lament The programme comprises Tour
principal features local government bill,
very democratic in character, will be brought
in at the opening of the session and will be
heartily supported by every member OF 'he
Government, including Mr.. Goschen. New and
stringent rules Of procedure will be proposed
whereby closure Tor the previous question: may
be ordered by majority vote, and whereby,
also, debate on pending question shall be
terminated at midnight and a vote taken.
These changes are radical and will compel
the minority to devise new measures OF OBJ
struction. A bill for the government Of Lon
don as four separate municipalities has also
been prepared. Finally, Mr.. Balfour's policy
and methods are to be approved unqualiiedly,
and coercion is to be pronounced a success.
The Governments policy is certainly interest
ing, and the session promises to be an ami
mated one. One Of their aims. Of course, is to
prevent an appeal to the country on the Irish
policy. How long they can succeed in doing
this remains to be shown.

One subject that Congress can have no good
pretext for refusing to act upon is the question
Of restricting immigration. Senator Palmer
made an important speech yesterday on his
BILL the most comprehensive of the measures
relating to this matter that have been intro
duced Mr. Palmcr's plan is to have immi-
grants obtain from United States consuls GER
tiGcates of good character. etc. and also to pay
a head tax the amount of which is yet to be
fixed. lie does not claim to have solved the
problem. Some of the features of his measure,
however, would obviously work to this coun-
try's advantage.

THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC contains full exhibit
of the Senatorial contests of tn year IN all the
Legislatures in which there were elections. This
Is one of the special features Of this political
manual and the information which 1t contains
cannot be found in detail elsewhere. The caucus
balloting for each party is shown for every State
where there was contest, and the tull votes OF
the Legislatures are added. The most interesting
elections Of the year those in Florida Illinois,
Indiana New-Jerscy, New-York Tennessee, Texas
and West Virginia. The Almanac does not have
everything in its welstocked pages, but it docs
have all that is Of real Importance in the politics
Of the year.

annlied for political incorporation with the United
States is taken altogether too seriously In the
Dominion 1t not studied insult to the
Provinces. as some OF the Canadian journals rep
resent 1t was simply the affirmation OF the
| common-sense doctrine that provinces lying north

A Blow to ,Ex.Tempore ln.9iratIon

No one has.erer doubted that the great
orators of Greece and Rome prepared their
orations-wTote them out N fall and COM
mitted themjto memory. Indeed they were
probably perfectly memorized when fully
written andirevised, for il would be impos-
sible for Eaan of ordinary ability even to
devote weeks and months to the prepara-
ton of discourse, as We have reasan to
believe Iemosthenes did, Without having
it so thoroughly rooted in his mind as to
make the manuscripts unnecessary. But
notwithstanding all the facts to the con-
trary, there stili.exisss popular dalusion
that the orators brightest and most elo-
quent sentences are inspirations of the mo-
ment, and THAI for him no special prepara-
tion is ever necessary A victim TO this,
belief who heard Colonel Robea4 Inger-.
soil during a recent political campaign,
followed the distinguished orator to his
| next appoiatment, ard was both surprised
and chagrined to find that he repeated the
same speech, wibheut the omission or adj
| dition OF single syllable. la short, the
speakers wit, pathos and Argument had
been stodiously prepared azad committed
to memory. When the late Salmon +.
Chase was candidate foT Governor of
Ohio ne delivered the sane speech from
twenty to thirty different stands and

1.-The Place Called Calvary

From an illustrated article under the
above title by Rev. DR.. Charles S. Robin
son, in the November Cent'sy we quote
the following: ''The only representative
site for Calvary now offered pilgrims in
Jerusalem is found in a couple of rooms
inside the old edifce; one Is owned and
exhibited by the Greeks, another by the
Latins. They share the same disability :;
both-since the church is already so full of
traditions on the ground foor-had to go
up flight of stairs into free space nearer
the roof. And there it is, amidst tawdry
curtains and silt bedizenments of candles
and altar-shrines, that this spot upon
which the cross of Jesus Christ rested is
pointed out, and the veritable hole is
shown in which it was planted. And the
thieves crosses-i decorous but rather in
adequate distance between them on the
right and left of the middle one-are
| ranged alongside. And down underneath,
far below across some intervening space
left by grading away the actual soil of the
hill, so we are sagely told, is the grave of
Adaml Tradition has related that at the
cruci6xion of Jesus some drops of blood
fell through upon Adams skull and raised
him Suddenly to life; and there are COM
mentors who declare that so the prophecy
quoted by the apostle Paul (Ephesians v.
XIV was fulfilled: Awake, thou Adam
| that sleepeth for thus the former versions
read in the text], and arise from the dead,
for Christ shall touch thee The art-peo-
pie say that this is the origin of the fact
| that in those early rude representations
of the death of our Lord 8 skull is intro
dueed.
Can any man of sensibility be blamed if
he makes an imperious demand that some
thing more-something else at least-shall
| greet HIM in answer to his question, Where
was our Lord crucifed2 ? If there should
be no other advantage gained by the ac-
| ceptance of new site as now proposed,
this would be enough; it would put an
end to the awk ward and offensive impost-
ures daily exhibited under the roof of that
| filthy old church. They are standing
mockery of the claims of the Christianity
they profess to uphold. Those ceremonies
of Easter at the tonab where our Lord is
declared to have been buried are carica-
ture of an event so glad and holy. The
struggle around the flames that are chem
ically forced out of the smoky hole in the
sepulcher, so.that deyotees in frantic zeal
may light their lamps, brings death from
| the tramplings of thousands fills the
house with howls that put heathenism tc
shame, and sends true believers away with
an infinite disgust and horror deep IN then
hearts. How long must sucA scandal be
patiently endured ?"

OLD SHASTA.
The Mountains Solid for Harrison and
Protection,


RE3DING, November 5th.-The RepubIi-
cans OF Shasta county closed the campaign
tonight by a demonstration that eclipsed
any political gathering in the history of the
county. Large delegations from distant
interior precincts commenced arriving early
in the afternoon. The evening trains
brought in hundreds from the south and
north districts along the line of the rail
road. The monster torchlight procession
started at 7:30 and paraded the principal
streets, headed by the Redding Cornet
Band and the Honn drum corps Five
Harrison veterans of 1910 were in the line,
and their presence created the widest en-
thusiasm. The great Bush building was
not large enough TO hold half of the peo-
pie. Six hundred voters marched under
the banner of protection. The Honn drum
corps, consisting of small boys, were fol-
lowed by q transparency upheld by a
Young America" in q small wagon
hauled by two goats. The inscription on
the canvas was No free trade wool on
these goats"
The meeting was called to order and ad-
dressed by Frank w. Smith, of the Reput-
lican County Committee, who introduced
Hon. G. G. Bush as President. Major w.
w. Allen, San Francisco, c.. NJ. G. Peters
of Anderson, and Edward Sweeney, Chair
mai ol tne NepuDlCan county central
Committee, and others, addressed the meet
ing. The speakers made telling points,
and the enthusiasm was immense.
Chairman Ed. Sweeney, Vice-C Chairman
G. G. Bush and Secretary Frank w. Smith,
of the County Committee, determined to
eclipse the efforts of an opposition meeting
attempted by the Democracy and addressed
by Clay w. Taylor. Their success was
humiliating to the bandana crowd, and a
glorious victory for Harrison and Morton
and protection to American industries

WASHINGTON, November 5th-Govern-
ment business is practically at standstill.
Every member of the Cabinet excepting
Attorney General Garland is out of town.
The majority of the heads of bureaus and
chiefs of divisions, and hundreds of clerks,
have gone home to vote. The election is
the only topic of conversation.
This morning Senator-elect Barbour, of
Virginia, received telegram from Chair
man Brice of the Democratic National
Committee, assuring him that New York
was safe for Cleveland At the same time
business man received a telegram in
cipher from Democratic headquarters in
New York, advising him if he had made
bets on Cleveland to hedge at once.
William Walter Phelps left here to day
for New Jersey. Before his departure be
told the correspondent of the California
Associsted Press that in New Jersey the
Republicans would surely carry the Legis-
lature, thereby gaining United States SEN
ator, and that it was an even chance be-
tween Harrison and Cleveland to carry the
State.
Adyices from Indiana to the Republican
Congressional Committee are that Harrison
will carry the Stale by 5000. The Demo
cratic advices are that Cleveland will carry
the State by 1900.
