WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The candidates
for clerk, doorkesper, sergeant-at-arms and
postmaster are working just as hard to get
votes as the candidates for speaker, and
they are good deal more active in the can
vass. Every democratic member>eIect is
pretty certain TO be asked many times for
his vote by these applicants for minor
places 1t is not strange that members
elect not personally interested in the speak
ership candidates delay coming here
to be the victims OF these good
natured but persistent solicitors, who,
except Mr.. Kerr, who keeps to
his headquarters, range around the hotels
and boardlng-houses seeking their prey.
The postmaster of the House is kept busy
telling the candidates for these places and
the speakership missionaries what members
have arrived and where they are stopping.
AT this writing Mr.. Kerr Is still ahead for
clerk and Mr.. Y oder for sergeant-at-arms,
while the other places are anybody's prize.
1t seems pretty certain. though, that all
four offices will be given to northern men.

BALFoUR ON TaE STUMP.
Ireland as ON Electoral Cry Declared
Played Out.

LONDON, Nov. 3O.-Mr. Balfour, first
lord Of the treasury, delivered a political
address at Hudders6eld to-day. In the
course of his remarks he said that ireland.
as an electoral cry, was played out. The
liberal leaders appeared to be in doubt
whether to play on the home rule
or the agricultural vote. Mr.. Glad
stone took one side aud Sir William Vernon
Harcourt the other. This was a judicious
arrangement, being planned so that. what
ever turned up the winning card they
could carry the game between them.
The question presented by the
condition OF the agricultural laborer in
Great Britain deserved better treatment
than to be banded about between wire pull
ers. The question, in fact. was one Of SUI
preme, absorbing interest. and the union
ISIS could claim that they had shown
Willingness to treat 1t in q
broad, liberal spirit The liberals
had promised TO deal with the question OF
village councils, but this was but a clumsy
method of putting a coping stone on local
self-government 1t was not likely that
village councils would materially alter the
condition OF the laborer.
A SMALL HOLDINGS BILL.
After announcing that Mr.. Chaplin,
president of the board of agriculture. would
at an early day introduce a small holdings
bill. Mr.. Balfour pointed out that some diff
ficulty would arise from the vital difference
between the conditions in ireland and the
conditions in England. In the former
country he said, small holdings were already
in existence, while In the latter they
had to deal everywhere with large estates,
and with buildings which would become
worthless by conversion into allotments.
He sympathized with the desire to re estab-
lish the yeomanry In England, but small
proprietors ought to consider the difficulties
they would encounter from q lack of capi~
tai, machinery, etc.
COOPERATIVE FARMING.
He suggested cooperative farming as
possible remedy. but he frankly admitted
that no hope OF this could be realized In the
Immediate future. Still, it was an ideal to
be sought after. He rather doubted the
success OF the espousal by the liberals of the
agricultural question. Their heads, he said,
had been turned by the election successes.
Mr.. Morley had as little resemblance TO the
prophet Daniel as Lord Salisbury had to
Belshazzar. If the coming six years we're
as fruitful in surprises as the last six had
been. Mr.. Morley would probably conclude
that he might find a more profitable oocupa-
tion than that Of prophesying.

The Governor OF Texas Says It Is to
Redeem Africa.
AUSTIN, TEX, Nov. SO.-Bishop Grant
and delegation of colored ministers who
have been attending the conference here,
called on the governor to-day in reference
to the working of the separate coach law.
Addressing a Pennsylvania preacher, the
governor said: when you go back
north tell your people that the
people of Massachusetts, first brought
African slaves to America" Slavery
was a godsend and emancipation a god-
send, because, ,as the governor believed, these
two causes would eventually result in the
enlightenment of Africa, which could be
done by the negro himself better than che
white man. He counseled the colored race
of the south to send ell of its surplus edn-
Gated young men to the dark continent. He
said that he believed that was the great
historical mission of the southern negro.
The committee called on the railroad COM
missioner and complained that some OF the
roads were not carrying out the separate
coach law, and the colored people were not
given frst-class accommodations nor per.
mitted to ride in sleepers. Chairman Rea-
gan promised TO investigate the first COM
plant, but stated that the law was silent as
to sleeping coaches.
