Since the creation of department of
agriculture the ACCESSIBILITY of still further
enlarging the cabinet by creating place
for department of labor, has provoked
some discussion. The province of the
bureau of labor is being extended very
rapidly and it is believed by many that
it is justly entitled to the elevation to the
dignity of a separate department.

Tending Toward Democracy.

LONDON, Jan. i9.-The result of the
election for members of the new London
county council is a complete surprise to
everybody. Usually small interest was
itakera in the progress of the election, but
the turn which the contest took has
aroused general discussion. 1t is be-
lieved the Radicals and Liberals will
have a majority of twenty-eight out OF
the total of l1S members Of the council,
and the probability that Earl Roseberry
will be elected chairman is very strong.
The greatest surprise resultant from the
election is the fact that nearly every one
of the members of the present board of
works who sought reelection to the new
council was defeated, and this circum
stance is claimed by the Radicals to show
conclusively that public opinion in Lon.
don is changing front to the ultimate
triumph of the democracy.
