The Man on the Fence

Lord Roseberys formal and, 1t is to be
believed, final retirement from the liberal
party of England. while it was to have
been expected after his withdrawal from
active politics a few years ago, is never
theless great disappointment to the lib
erals. who have been hoping of late that
their former leader would return to the
helm and steer them through the channels
to success. Lord Rosebery has chosen to
create the role of a non-partisan observer
and critic. He has become a free-lauce, a
character striklngly suited to his position,
temperament and attachments, but entirely
unsuited TO the prevalent condition of En-
glish politics. There is virtually no place
in the English polity for such a parsonage.
He can become at best only an agitator If
not mischief-maker. He cannot expect
either party to heed his warnings or his
criticisms He cannot hope for an audience
in parliament save he makes entertain
ment. 1t will always be amusing, of
course. to the liberals to hear Rosebery be-
rating the conservatives, and it will delight
the conservatives even more keenly to hear
the former liberal premier lambasting his
erstwhile party partners. 1t has long been
observed that the man on the fence never
has much influence with the bellgerents on
either side. although he may be in position
safely to utter profound truths and to ex-
tend sage advice. 1t is, therefore, dis
appointment to more than the liberal party
of England to find that Lord Rosebery in
tends to abandon the plane of partisanship
and to assume that of a lofty censorship
over the morals of all parties. He is a
man of parts, possessing a keen sense of
proportion. fund of information. ripe
scholarship and a pleasing personality. He
might. with little more ardor. become one
of the most fascinating figures in English
craftsmanship. But 1t would be along the
line of a well-planned and severely main
tanned partisanship. involving the necessity
for hard work and shrewd thought, calling
for constructive leadership and wary man
agement. Such a position, appealing to
posterity as we'll to the present can
never be carved out of the academic ma
terials which Lord Rosebery seeks now to
assemble into the form of Englands nom
partisan guide. mentor and critic.

1t was not to be expected that this Porto
Rican tariff matter would pass without a
reference on the part of some of Mr. Cleve-
lands admirers TO what would have hap
pened If he had been in the White House
The chirp is heard. We are told that there
would have been no beating about the bush
with him. He would have had his way. or
have known the reason why. This sounds
well. but what says history?
Mr.. Cleveland recommended the repeal Of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman sill
yer law The majority of his party in both
houses OF Congress at once rebelIed There
were conferences and conferences between
him and prominent silver men, but moth
ing was accomplished. The silver men
would not give an inch, and in the Senate
they came very near to defeating him.
But. as 1t was. the battle was won by the
republicans. The recommendation was ac-
ceptable to them, and Mr.. Reed In the
House. and Messrs. Sherman. Aldrich and
Allison in the Senate. carried through the
repeal measure. Mr.. Cleveland could never
have brought his party into line for it,
A second test came when the German
Wilson tariff bill reached the Senate The
democrats under Mr.. Germans leadership
added number of protection features to
the House bill The measure indeed was
quite transformed. and then the announce
ment came that it was not acceptable to
Mr.. Cleveland. He demanded that the more
important parts of the Senate's work be
Cancelled, and the bill be made to resume its
House shape. But Mr.. German and his
friends refused point blank to comply with
MS wishes; stood their ground, and passed

The vote in the House on the Porto Rican
tariff bill doubtless foreshadows the vote in
TIL Senate. The bill Will probably pass and
go to the President for his signature And
the President will probably sign it. To
veto it in the circumstances would be not
only to raise an issue with his party on
the eve of the national campaign. but in eff
feet to play into the hands of the opposi-
ton He may not in reason be expected
to do that The question unfortunately
cannot at this time be considered wholly
apart from its political bearings. Demo-
cratic praise and support of the President
are fully one-half for political purposes,
and the President must bear this in mind.
As his party'S leader. prudence teaches him
that he ought to manage TO get along with
as little of that as possible.
But it is to be hoped that before the first
Vote is taken the Senate will give this
assure a Very thorough examination. The
position taken by those members of the
House who reversed themselves. that the
bill grows upon acquaintance and that the
country will indorse it when it comes to
understand it, suggests that now is the
time to make the country acquainted with
tht. rnS assure. The Senate likes discussion.
There are a number of constitutional law
sides Of the chamber. The question is at
traCtive. The fact that the measure if 1t
becomes a law will live but for two years
does not rob the question of any of it's in
terest. 1t Is certain to play a part-and
no one now can tell how important a part
IN the coming campaign; and hence 1t is
advisable that everything relating to the
subject the Presidents recommendation to
Congress. the original attitude of the men,
beers of the ways and means committee
and then their complete right-about-face,
should now be reviewed and the whole
truth brought out.
We owe the Porto Ricans not only good
government, but generous treatment. We
should invite their fullest confidence anu
Corporation in all that we may do for
them. They are within our authority and
completely in our power. The question. it
IS true, is not sentimental. but sentiment
cannot be entirely banished from the con-
sideration of it without working injustice

The late Senator Goebel came into ma
tinnai notice as the author of partisan
election law. 1t was his sole claim to dis
tinctinn outside of the commonwealth of
Kentucky The measure was so extreme
in irs terms. and what was intended to
be accomplished by it so very manifest,
that fair-minded men of his own party
Joined with the members of the opposition
party in denouncing it. A determined eff
fort was made to defeat it, but without
success. Mr.. Goebel possessed extraordi-
nary influence over the legislature, and put
the measure through even over the reIub-
hcan governors veto. He was a. prospec-
tive candidate for governor at the time
and it was thought that he had materially
forwarded his chances of success in that
direction by thus securing to his party the
exclusive control of the entire elections
machinery of the state.
This law. in a certain sense, cost Mr.
Goebel his life. 1t divided his party into
two extremely bitter factions, and their
contentious during the gubernatorial cam

He led his own faction with characteristic
holiness and uncompromising ferceness
and his defeat at the polls embittered him
and his friends severely. His appeal from
the action Of the state election board

complicated and intensified an already
threatening situation, and his death by vio-
lence followed
Ir. Goebel has been in his grave only a
month. and there is already strong move

him in life to wipe the law which bears
his name off the statute books. Mr.. Black
burn is a leading spirit. He confesses to a
disappointment in the law, and he thinks
1t will be 10 the advantage Of his party
and the state to repeal 1t. He advocates
a return TO the old viva voce plan of voting,
and urges immediate action by the present
legislature.
The majority of the present legislature
have shown themselves 10 be 50 unequal
to any task set before them and the gen.

Consul Hays Success.

Hay is discharging his duties to the salts

prising, but 1t Is welcome. And. it is to be
remembered, he is acting for the British
government as well as for his own In
both capacities he is measuring up to the
emergency. The Beers have received him
cordially. and evidently are putting no diff
culues in his way. Otherwise, OF course,
he could not succeed at all. He is quite a
young man. and this is his Introduction to

ent post will be a tall feather in his cap,
and everybody will be glad to see him earn
and wear it.
Not everybody. There is one Individual
who cannot in the nature of things well
come this news. He is made to appear
thoroughly ridiculous by it. The question
becomes more pressing and pertinent than
ever. why did he run away? If Mr. Hay,
a perfect stranger upon the scene, can go
forward easily and without hindrance with
the affairs of the consulate, why could not
Mr.. Macrum, with a familiarity with the
situation proceeding from residence of
eighteen months at Pretoria, have gone
forward with them? What Influenced him
to pull up stakes and take the track for
home in hurry?
The answer is plain. Mr.. Macrum was
either panic stricken, or else he magnified
his office to such an extent as to make
himself a laughing stock. He left his post
either in a fright under the delusion
that by presenting himself in Washington
and taking the President and Secretary of
State into his confidence he could change
the whole aspect of things and swing this
government actively into line for the Boer
cause. His conduct since he returned home
has supported first one and then the other
of these two conclusions. If his statement
has suggested incompetency and therefore
