been followed the most completely in the

taxes are SO high that small owners are
unable to meet the demands,
Nowhere else are large fortunes in so
few hands, and nowhere is the number
of the unemployed so large as in Victoria.

POLITICS AS \ CAREER

In the recent transfer OF power in Eng.
land fro m the Liberals to the Cnionists
no one feature is more striking Ia its con.
traSt With American methods than the
steadlness OF political careers. 1t is Sails
bury's third cabinet which succeeds
GladstOne's fourth cabinet. To ue. to
. whom the idea Of THIRD term" is odoue,
such continuity of power is almost in
credible.In English politics, on the other
hand, permanency of leadership is the
test Unsuccessful leadership, and, whether
10 power or IN opposition. the leaders
hold their places, and grow and gam ia
authority.
Ia the new cabinet, for instance. there
Is not man who has not been tried In
official life and responsibility. Most OF
them have been In politics since their
early manhood. AEen the younger men,
who begin their ministerial careers in
subordinate positions, are what We should
call political veterans. Such a thing as
putting q new and untVied man in a re-
sponslble cabinet position would not be
thought Of. The English can do these
things because statesman of eminent
ability eau generally find a constituency
to send him to Parliament. All Britain
is the district of any member of Parlia-
ment, and 40 EbglIshuan Of cabinet
cailbre need be relegated to private life
by the peanut politics of his immediate
locality.
1t IS hardly worth while emphasizing
the contrast IN this country. Here two
successive and opposing tidal waveE''
have swept from the face of politics nearly
every prominent member of Congress on
both sides of the House. No one can
argue that such a destruction of all the
gains Of political experience can be bene-
fetal. Our politics cannot be better
managed under a system which ends
political careers just when they are most
valuable. But the sentiment of local
pride is strong enough to prevent our
country from getting the baneft of any
craftsmanship that Is not bounded 10y the

COOLLY LIGHTED HIS CIGAR.
A Sea Captains Act Which Probably
Saved the Lives of His Passeppers


Saved the Lives of His Passengers.
A good story is told of a sea captain
WHO died not long ago and who was
formerly in command Of a ship in
which passengers were carried from
London to Lisbon. On one occasion the
ship caught fire and the passengers and
crew were compelled to take hurriedly
TO the boats. The captain remained
perfectly cool throughout all the con-
fusion and fright of the debarkment,
and al last every one except himself
was got safely into the boats. By the
time he was ready to follow. the pas
sengeTs were almost wild with fear and
excitement Instead of hurrying down
the ladder the captain called out to the
sailors TO hold on a minute, and, TAX
ing a cigar fren his pocket, coolly
lighted il with bit of burning rope
which had fallen from the rigging at
his feet. Then he descended with de-
liberation and gave the order to push
off.
How could you stop to light a cigar
at such a mment?" he was asked at
terward. when some of the passengers
were talking over their escape
Because" he answered, Il saw that
if l did not do something to divert the
minds of those in the boat there was
likely to be a panic, and, overcrowded
as ii was, there was danger OF the boat
being upset. The act took but mo-
ment. but it attracted the attention of
everybody. l was not nearly so I'M
concerned as | seemed to be, but was
in reality in fever Of excitement My
little plan succeeded. You all forgot
yourselves because you were thinking
about my curious behavior, and we got
off safely"
