Mr.. Bailey, the brilliant young Con-
gresham from Texas, who has been
tho leader Of the House on the Demo
cratic side, has declared his intention
not to be q candidate fpr that honor In
the next Congress. The failure Of the
Democrats Of the House to follow bis
lead, in what he regards rs a perfectly
plain provision of the Constitution, TO
unscat Gen Wheeler and the other
members who had left their legislative
duties TO accept commissions in the
army, impelled him to the decision.
There is little or no doubt that Mr..
Bailey is right 10 his position, and the
attitude Of the Democrats voting in IA.
vor of retaining Congressman in their
seats who had accepted commissions in
the army, thus holding two Offices uu-
der the Government at the same time,
does not argue well for them as silict
consiruclionists Of the Constitution, ga
reverence for which," No Mr. Bailey
says, ''has been the chief article Of our
faith" The legislative branch of Gov
eminent and the army ought to be
kept as far apart as possible.

THE IMPERIAL CABLE.
All Fear OF its Non Construction
is Now Ended.

The arrangements for the laying
down of an Imperial cable are making
good progress. All the Colonies have
entered heartily into the project, and
scheme of joint management has,
we believe, been nearly perfected,
while some time ago the amount of
the financial contribution from each
Colony was agreed to- The project has
been under discussion for some years,
and at one time it looked as though
the Imperial Government was going
to throw cold water on it. But all fear
of this is now at an end. The project
has been carried SO far that it is next
thing to impossible there should be
any fresh cause of disagreement, and
there is no reason to doubt that in
few years it will be possible to COM
municate with some Of the most dis
tant parts of the empire by means of
a cable owned and managed by the
Imperial State. This will bind the
Empire more closely together in more
ways than one, because it will not only
facilitate communication, but it Will
also provide an increased sense OF
unity and fresh encouragement TO
cooperation We have often been as
sured that coming events cast their
shadows before them and this is
probably exemplified in the fact that
the Eastern Extension Telegraph Com
pany has just offered to lay down
fresh cable between South Africa and
Australia and to reduce it's rates. The
offer is, of course, good. Every rea-
sonable increase that can be made in
the facilities for communication is
likely to be beneficial. But this offer
from private company, however COM
mendable. will not stop the construc-
ton of the Imperial telegraph line.
Matters have gone too far for that,
and. indeed. it would have been I'M
wise to draw back even if they had
not. The Imperial cable will be want
ed for Government messages. These
now cost an immense sum every year,
and they have often been delayed. The
new arrangement will make rapid tran
sit certain. while the new cable Will
be laid on line of route where 1t
would be most easily protected in war
time. 1t is not difficult to understand,
therefore, why the colonists should be
enthusiastic over the project.-Not-
tingham Guardian.
