THE LIBERAL CONTEST
FOR A PARTY LEADER
CALL FOR A CAUCUS TO DECIDE
Present Indications Point to the Sc
lection of Sir II. Campbell
BIpnerman.

New York, Jan. IA London cable
dispatch to the Journay says:
With the time for the assembling of
Parliament close at hand the question OF
first interest before the British peop e
just now is the leadership of the Liberal
party.
At present every indication seems 10
point to the selection of Sir H. Campb III
Bannerman: There is some small chance
that Sir William Harcontt may be pre-
vailed upon to resume the place which he
has just given up without any very def
mite reasons. The only other leaders Sc
riousiy considered are the Right Homo! :
able II. II. Asquith and the Right Honor
able John Morley. u
The selection of the Liberal lead r in
the Commons is by popular vote. This
however, only applies when the Liberals
are the opposition, or, in American
phrase, in the minority When in power
as at the time of L4rd Rosebery's eleva-
tion to the premiership: the party must
defer to the wishes of the Queen. Lord
Rosebery, although bitterly fought by ons
wing OF the Liberals under Labouchere,
had been summoned by the sovereign, and
the whips or machine" leaders w~re
1OFced 10 yleld.
When the fight for the leadership finds
the party in the minority as at present,
the Crown in no manner interferes, and
the selection is usually by ordinary party
caucus. The meeting will in all pr0ba:
bility be called and presided over by S-r
Wilfrid Lawson. the oldest member OF the
Liberal party in the House of Commons.
1t is unlikely that there will be any open
discussion or division. All the fighting,
as in American machine politics, viii
have been done at preliminary confer
ences. very much after the fashion OF the
Fifth Avenue Hotel Sunday schools.
The Liberals are concentrating on
Campbell Bannerman by process OF eX-
haustion He belongs TO the type of ''un-
Objectionable candidates. His virtues
are chiefly negative. Wealthy, amiabie,
tolerant cool in judgment, he seems to be
a good helmsman to tide the Liberal snip
over a sea OF uncertainty on which il now
appears TO be drifting. In his admins
tration of the war Office he has indicated
a tendency to leave things alone. He is
described as a clever after dinner talker,
with fine sense of humor, fond of social
life and good company. He has been in
Parliament for thirty years. The only
chance for another selection would seem
to lie in his declination Of that honor.
In that event the names which may
come up for consideration, in addition to
those already mentioned, are Sir Henry
Fowler. Sir Edward Grey, Lord Spencer,
Lord Ripon and Mr.. Brice.

Iished in the Romney Times
Cumberland, Md, Jan. 16.-Prof ]. T
Rucker, principal of the West Virginia
Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb at Rom
ney, is said to have had an encounter with
James Wirgman, editor of the Romney
Times, as the result of publication in the
Times of an article entitled The Pot and
the Kettle
Rucker called on Wirgman. and it is
said by friends of Wirgman that before he
could respond to an Interrogation as TO
who was the author Rucker knocked him
down. Wirgman's brother, a prominent
merchant of Romney, joined in the melee,
as did Cecil Osten, friend of Rucker.
Both Rucker and Wirgman are Repuh-
licans, but have been at odds since last
fall, when Wirgman criticised a speech by
Rucker.
No one was injured, but the Office fur
niture is said to have been considerably
tossed about. 1t is feared by friends that
trouble of a more serious nature may fol-
low.
The Times some time ago published an
article about the use of one of the rooms
of the asylum during vacation for hop
by townspeople, and some inferred that it
meant that entertainment was provided at
the expense of the State.

Trusts and Tariff.
From the Kansas City star.)

(From the Kansas City Star9
An industry which is able to sell its products
in foreign markets cannot derive any benefit from
a protective tariff, unless there is combination
to maintain prices at home, and that is one rea-
son for the great activity now in the organiza-
ton Of trusts Therefore, the hardest blow that
can be given to the trusts is the abolition of pro-
tective tariffs on all commodities produced by
them. protective tariff which compels the peo-
pie OF TINS country to pay more for what they
use than foreigners pay is bad enough in its sim
plest form. But when it is supplemented bv
trusts which hold up prices at home while they
are selling goods cheaply to foreigners, it be-
comes unbearable.

Wedding Bells For Dinner.

The following item was handed to
us by Deputy Clerk OF Court John
Mcdonald which he states he was
requested to have published:
"Clerk of Court Brick this morn
ing received marriage license for
Jos. Dinner to wed Miss Esther
Canter, an estimable young lady OF
Minneapolis.
Mr.. Dinner ia the principal dealer
in rags and scrap iron of this city
and through great ability and close
attention to business has built up a
very extensive trade. Mr.. Dinner
pays cash for all goods purchased
by him and can afford to sell at a
smaller margin than other dealers in
the same line. We wish him success
in his new undertaking."
The above item indicates that
with a little training and experience
the deputy clerk would become a
first class society reporter.
