The Critics Think It Indicates Bad Faith as
to the Richie Bill.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LoNDoN. March % MIR. Balfour's speech at
Staleybridge, last evening, has attracted
great deal of attention. In declaring his belief
that America is the most conservative nation in
the world, the Irish Secretary explained that
the term conservative applied to the affec-
ton of the American people for their institutions.
This remark and its explanation have caused
considerable distrust of the governments sim
cerity in introducing the local-government
bill and other reform measures and
a great deal of speculation among
amateur politicians to what
the ministerialists really intend to do. The ad-
herence of the Americans to the institutions
handed down by their forefathers. Mr.. Balfour
said, is remarkab BILE example of national PRIDE
and national strength, and in respect of this
the truest form of conservatism, America stands
first in rank in the civilized world. England
owing to the strength of her institutions is only
slightly behind the Republic The general
opinion is that if Mr. Balfours speech means
anything at all, it indicates the intention of the
governments to make as few and as slight
changes possible in the existing institutions
of England, no matter what il may promise
to 90.
