that of it's Irish allies With the death of Parnell and the consequent disagreement among his followers home rule necessarily ceased to be d practical fighting question, and the lib erals have not been able to get to- geuher" on any subject of sufficient inl- pCrtance to be a battle ground for great parties.
 But another serious reason for the passing of the liberal party was the lack of sympathy that most of it's leaders had with the rank and file Most of the latter were radicals-men who were opposed by instinct and eX- Perience to the ideas of caste and priv ilege to which the old whigs were wed- ded. The strong personality of Glad stone he'd the party together while he led it. but it's fate was inevitable. The matters of chief interest tC the people of Great Britain tOday-outside of it's foreign policy-relate to the securing of equal rights for its own people. The English and the Scotch are slow to change the established habits that have come down to them, but they are also growing more and more deter mined that birth and rank shall not be permitted to dominate justice.
 Because Of this determination lib erals like Lord ROseibery are out of touch with the bulk of their party. They are practically conservatives at heart, but they have preferred to call themselves liberals as long as they could direct their party's policy. When their followers are demanding man hood suffrage, the disestablishment Of the church, and the abolition of an up- per house to which birth alone gives admission, the ancient whigs will eith- CT go over to the tories or flock by themselves.
 The liberal party as it was when Bright and Gladstone were the leaders in its councils has passed away. Its successor will probably be a radical party which will stand for equal jus tice for all men irrespective of rank or birth-Chicago Record.

THE RAINBOW.

Three fairies climbed a rainbow hill; And two were Jacks, and one a Jill. Each clambered up a colored lane, In pleasure dreaming not of pain. At last the heavenly beamy belt Began in lessening love to melt; Whereat the fairies through the arch Fell headlong in a wood of larch. Each, being hurt in leg and arm, Was carried to fairies farm, Where comrades gave them creamy
 milk, And dressed their wounds in softest
 silk A doctor. came, who smiled and said, A rainbow was less safe than bed. So this moral ycu must sean Not where you wish. but where you

ONE GREAT POINT.

Mir. Carnegie speaks with authority when ke says that when depression comes the American manufacturer (of steel and iron) will have one reserve which has not hitherto been his; namely, he will be able to produce at a cost which will enable him to supply the world outside, and this, fortunate ly, will keep labor more fully em- plOyed than it has been hitherto un- der similar circumstances This is Q point that is often overlooked in the flush of present prosperity Every where there is an enormous demand just now for iron and steel products British and German as vel as Ameri- can fOrges and factories are crowded with orders, So that real competition does not exist. Demand exceeds sup ply so much that tie reak struggle is to fill orders already on hand. When conditions are reversed, as they are certain to be in time, then the battle between the United States and Europe for mastery in the iron and steel trade will begin, and it is then that the su- periOr natural resources and industrial organization will be manifest. This is the hour that Europe dreads to see York Commercial Ad- vertiser.

The breach between Sir William Vernon Harcourt and Lord Rosebery seems to foreshadow the passing of the liberal party of Great Britain. Since the retirement of Mir Gladstone the party has been disorganized and demoralized. When the libera-union- ist element left it on account of its at titude on the Irish question it was crippled not only by the loss of many influential supporters, but by the fact that it had 10 other standard than

A dog owner suggests that the best
method to adopt in regard to the dog law
would be to make the law providing for
a specific tax of 81 for the first male dog
and 81 for each additional male. Two
dollars for the first female and 50 for each
additional female. He suggests that a
part of this special tax revert to the sheep
fund, and If a farmer has his sheep kill
ed he can put In his claim, prove his loss
and get pay for the same. Such a law
ne thinks would give general satisfaction
while anything like a prohbitory law
would be fought bitterly by the dog own
crs throughout the state and result in "a
defeat of the measure.
