ers' places have occurred during the year

SRlisbury's Hard Lines.

1t is notorious fact that Lord Salisbury
and his conservative followers were not at
all prepared to assume responsibility for
the conduct of the British government.
their desire being that Lord Roseberv'
ministry should call for dissolution of
Parliament instead of resigning, and fore
ing the conservatives to show their hand
previous to the elections.
The wisdom of the liberal party's course
from political standpoint is already be-
coming evident, however in more than one
way. Not only have the conservatives
been compelled to outline the policy to be
pursued under their rule. but their weak
nesscs have also been made conspicuous by,
their being placed in a position of respon-
sibility for the government
If cable advices from London are to be
relied upon, dissensions have already
arisen inside of the party in power. There
is said to be a wall from the old line
torres because of the large amount of
patronage secured by the liberal-unionists
and because Premier Salisbury has taken
excellent care of his own family connec-
tons by rewarding them with important
Offices. These are potent elementsof weak
ness for the unionists to exhibit thus early
in the career of their ministry, and it is
little wonder that the liberals are said TO
Ire emerging from the slough of despond
into which they We're cast by vote of
lack Of confidence.
1t can thus be seen that the coming cam
paign in Great Britain will not be the one
sided contest that many people had looked
for, and it would not be strange if the
conservatives and their liberal-unionist
allies went into power in the next Parlia-
ment with a majority not greatly in
creased over that by which the liberals
held power for so long a time.

Not a few Vermonters will be interest
ed in the report sent by Consul General
Bowen from Barcelona, regarding SPANS
marble industries. He says that although
that country has marble in great abund-
ance the quarries have never been de-
veloped like those of Belgium and France
In recent years, however, the saving of
marble has made marked progress and he
expects soon to see Spain take a promi-
nent place among the marble producing
countries This result is attributed to the
duty placed on marble imported from other
countries by the Spanish government, and
in the light of Uncle Sans experience the
statement will be questioned by compare
lively few intelligent people.

An old friend of the family heard that

In the New Hampshire valley the noun

owners have either moved away Or built
