rwo Eloanent Hunters.

Maj. Champion, in his book ''On the
Frontier" describes deer hunt, in the
course of which he found his dog
astride the dead hpdy of the deer,
while an Indian stood little way of,
bow and arrow in hand BY signs he
made the white man upierstand that
he had wounded the deer and the dog
pulled it down. Then he cut up the
deer, tied the forehalf Of it up in the
skin and placed it on one side. The
other half he laid at Maj. Champions
feet, delivering himself of speech in
the Ute language. The white man Un-
derstood his meaning, but not word
of his address. The Indian and the
dog had killed the deer together, and
the dogs owner was entitled to half
the game. The major was equal to the
emergency. He rose and delivered in
full the classical defamation: "Ny
name is Norval," with appropriate GEES
lures, just as he had many times given
it at school, Nothing could have been
better. The Indian and the white man
shook hands with effusion, and each

present time, but Lord Salisbury's
ready acceptance of the premiership in
dictates that the party is in excellent
condition to go before the country.
AS soon as parliament adjourns-
which will be in few days-prepara-
tions for general election will begin.
The tories and unionists, under the
leadership of Salisbury and Balfour,
for the first time in some years, will be
able to present solid front. The
liberals, on the other hand, are disor-
; ganized and divided into so many fac
tions that nothing short of miracle
can unite them. Gladstone cannot be
relied upon to restore harmony.
The grand old man" is not only out
of politics, but has returned to the ad-
ivocacy of many policies especially dear
to conservative sentiment. He can, In
no sense whatever, be considered a
leader by the managers of the impend-
ing campaign, although he still clings
to the Irish home rule doctrine laid
down by him at the beginning of the
present session of parliament; and this
devotion may cause a number of Irish
members to identify themselves with
the liberals, in spite of the charge
made by thousands of Irishmen that
lord Rosebery and Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, the liberal leader in the
house, did nothing to promote the home
rule cause. In short, Irish support of
liberal candidates will be based alto
gether on sentiment-on admiration of
man whose days on earth are num-
bered. And such support, it will be
conceded, cannot be counted upon in
4he hour OF need.
The liberal party, although it pre-
tends to represent progressive Great
Britain, has done very little during the
parliamentary session now drawing to
a close which would entitle it to a vote
of confidence. 1t was pledged to give
home rule to Ireland, to ameliorate the
condition of English workingmen and to
abolish the 1.-THE system in certain parts
tof the United Kingdom. An Irish home
rule bill was passed by the house of COM
mons, but ANONYMOUSLY defeated in
the house of lords. Instead of accept
ing this defeat in a manly spirit and
passing other laws for the political relief
of Ireland, the party leaders, in the face
of protests from both of the Irish
factions, virtually abandoned the cause
on the strength ofwhich Gladstone had
taken successful appeal to the
country. And when the Welsh tithing
bill came up for discussion, Mr.. Glad"
stone published card in which he as
sailed the liberal policy and gave ex-
preston to arguments which are now
being used with great effect by tory
newspapers and conservative stump
speakers.
Lord Salisbury has shown great wis
dom in the selection of his official ad-

name first appeared In print; although
be has been hattered and humored by
the great men of many nations, He is
the cleverest debater In the house Of
commons; student of occult philos-,
ophy and comparative theology, and a
confirmed bachelor. Americans who
have met him praise his gentlemanly
demeanor, under which, however, he
hides an unlimited amount of class
prejudice and traditional pride. He is
a nephew of Lord Salisbury who, some
English writers assert, would like to
see him his successor as head of the
conservative party.
Balfour and Joseph Chamberlain
the latter secretary of state for the coll
onies-on accepting Office reproached
the Rosebery government for not dis
solving parliament instead of resigning,
Mr.. Chamberlain, in his address, added:
THE unionist leaders have absolutely
agreed that the wild projects for con-
stitutional change and destructive leg
islation which formed the staple pro-
posals of the last two administrations
shall be laid aside. The unionists will
devote their principal attention to a
policy of constructive social reform,
and at the same time will maintain the
full efficiency of the defensive resources
of the empire,
Chamberlain is the shrewdest mem.
Der of the Salisbury ministry. He is
not quite as scholarly as Balfour, but
what he does not know about the
ways of politicians and their tricks
is not worth knowing. Not so many
years ago he was, next to Gladstone,
the most influential man in the liberal
party and looked upon as the coming
leader of the forces collected by the VEN
cradle sage of Hawarden His radical
tendencies frightened Gladstone, how
ever, and he was relegated at time
when his prospects seemed brightest.
Chamberlain never forgot the affront,
and remembered it at time when
Gladstone needed him most, and united
himself with the unionists when the
liberals began to advocate home rule
for Ireland. Since then he has become
a devoted tory, and it is possible that
he will combat with Balfour for the
honor of becoming leader of the house
in case of conservative success at the
election. Mr.. Chamberlain has visited
the United States several times, his
wife being the daughter of one of the
oldest New England families.
The new president of the council, the
duke of Devonshire, is better known to
Americans as the marquis of Hunting
ton. Like Chamberlain he is distin-
guished exliberal. In 1875, when Mr..
Gladstone announced his intention of
giving up the party leadership, he was
chosen leader in the house of commons.
In 1880 Queen Victoria, after the fall of
the conservatives, invited him to form

AN ATTRACTIVE HAT.
A Forgetful Preacher Did Not Remove
the Wrapping Paper.

the Wrapping Paper.
A distinguished preacher of some
what arbitrary manners was engaged
to preach in Belgravia, and purchased
a new hat for the occasion, says Pear
sons Weekly. He was met outside his
residence by a young man who was to
guide him to the church. His guide,
after what the parson thought a rude
stare and smile, said: 81 beg Your par
don, sir, but your hat"
''0h. yes! never mind the hat, but
mind your own business" the parson
interrupted CURLY; and the young man
was silenced The people they met
stared and smiled too.
Strange how many people notice
when one has got new hat, thought
the parson. The church was reached
and the worshipers approaching natu-
rally turned TO observe the noted
preacher.
The vicar met him at the vestEy door

Pardon me, canon, but pray why do
you wear your hat SOP"

a liberal cabinet, but he declined in
favor of Mr.. Gladstone. When the lat
ter espoused the cause of Irish home
rule in 1886, the marquis identified him
self with the unionist tory coalition,
but would not accept Office under Lord
Salisbury. Since coming into posses
sion of the Devonshire dukedom, the
former liberal leader has degenerated
or developed-takey your choice of terms
into tory with decidedly reactionary
tendencies.
Another ex-liberal who has accepted
office under Salisbury is George j..
Goschen, first lord of the admiralty. In
the former conservative cabinet Mr..
Goschen was chancellor of the ex-
chequer. In 1871 he was one of Glad
stones closest friends and acted as lord
of the admiralty. In the home rule
campaign of 1886, however, he left the
liberal party and became the brains of
the liberal-unionist faction. Mr. Co
schen is reputed to be one of the fore
most fnanciers of Europe, his principal
achievement being the satisfactory ad-
justment of the Egyptian national debt
in 1876. AS a diplomat he was also
quite successful, securing, while am.
bassador to Turkey in 1880, the consent
of the sultan to the frontier line be-
ween Turkey and Greece existing at
the present time. .. ....
The other gentlemen composing the
Salisbury ministry have had ample ex'
perience in public life, but it is hardly
necessary to mention their names and
achievements excepting perhaps ref
erence to Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the
new chancellor of the excnequer,
whose fame Is international.
The marquis of Salisbury has as
sumed the portfolio of secretary o.
state for foreign affairs, to the great
satisfaction of every court in Europe
He is recognized as a power in inter
national politics, and his utterances re
ceive far more attention than did the
correspondence of his predecessor

The prompt wit of the late Lord

at Aylesbury. Among the company,
says the New York Post, was farmer
in the neighborhood, son of the En-.

commencement of Mr.. Disraeli's
speeches was frequently characterized
by an almost painful hesitation, and on
this occasion the faltering was even
more noticeable than usual, but the
restless eyes were very bright, and the
master of fence was ready with parry

The passing-away of the Rosebery
ministry in Great Britain was not a
surprise to anyone. For months the
liberal party had remained in power by
grace of the opposition. whose leaders
did not care to assume the responsibility
of the government as long as the liber-
al platform stood the faintest show of
success at the polls. The defeat of the
government in the house of commons
which led to the retirement of Lord
Rosebery and his colleagues was trick,
pure and simple, worthy of Joseph
chamberlain, the tory Machiavel The

visers He is firm believer in disci-
pine, experience having taught him
that no ministry can maintain itself for
any length of time unless dominated by
one master mind. Hence, whatever
the tory-unionist coalition men under
take will be dictated by the premier,
and his commands will be ably exc
cuted by his heutenants, all of whom
are ardent partisans and fairly patri-
otto Englishmen.
Next to Salisbury in influence will be
Arthur James Balfour, first lord Of the
treasury. He Is not only one of the
brainiest, but also one of the youngest
leaders in English politics. Born In

government board as long ago as 1855.

Scotland; year later became secretary

Culture and Refinement to Have Prece-
dence Over Birth and Rank
High moral character and education,

Of manner and good habits are the

ideas of social equality were rather
democratic than exclusive, says the
Philadelphia Press, was heard to re-

general One must win his own Iaurels
or go uncrowned.
Birth to a marked degree is an acct
dent, and those who are considered to
be well born are oftentimes the most
objectionable elements of society and
the most dangerous associates. One
need but watch closely the daily record
of those on both sides of the Atlantic,
whose birth gives them prestige in So
ciety, to prove that education and Gull
tivation of high morals go further to-
ward making refined society than all
the good or blue blood that ever flowed
through the veins of royalty and theno-
bility. OF course, it would be the height
of4bsurdity to argue that all men are
born equal, and would be as illogical to
argue against the superiority of blood
ed animals Of the race course over the
ordinary draft horse. However, the
nobility of culture and refinement
should have precedence over the nobil-
ity of birth and rank.
