Mr.. Bailey, the Dairy Commissioner Of

that the raising Of Ansora goats Offers a
great opportunity to the farmers of

In his speech to the House of Lords In
reply 10 the Earl OF Kimberley's criticism
of tas governments negotiations with
the Beers, Lord Salisbury explained why
negotiations could not be conducted now
adays in secret as they wers once. As
the government had to rely finally upon
tie people in order to get support Tor
any policy which II adopted 10 had. he
said to take them into its confidence and
let them see the policy In process of for
nation and the reasons for It, No doubt
this is the fact. A ministry In demo-
cratic England which should devise a
policy In secret and suddenly spring 1t
upon the people would be likely TO en-
counter strong opposition for that very
reason. A pelicy devils d In such way
would rouse the suspicion OF the people
plain that they had not been taken into
the ministry's confidence. But undouht-
eddy it oftentimes would be better for the
public in the end II this taking OF them
into confidence was not necessary. Vhan
negotiations are pending over matter
which touches the national pride the
effect Of making them public, step by
step, Is almost certain to be to rouse
the passions OF the people, until they
take counsel Of their feelings rather than
of their judgment; and this condition of
the public mind is sure to act upon the
ministry and force them to go to lengths,
oftentimss, which they do n 1t themselves
approve. A ministry SGT king peaceful
solution of difficulty with another ma
ton would be mucn more likely TO sue
oeed If the negotiations were conducted
secretly. than II the public were allowed
to watch them and become intamed by
the long winded, equivocatinR, and
frequently exasperating correspondence
that attends such negotiations. On the
other hand II the ministry does not want
pacific ending, but Ia seeking war.
there is no better way to get 1t than to
give the public occasional glimpses of the
negotiations. especially of the most I'm
satisfactory porj lions Of them. Thus IL
will readily be seen that the necessity of
tax ing the public into its confidence mny
be q help or hindrance to the ministry
according to whether 1t Is aiming Mt a
peaceful or foroible solution Of the
difficulty. How 1t was In the case of the
negotiations bet wee the British minis

No doubt President Mckinley win

grace ask US to refer the Philippine ques
