on the action Of the Rsiohstag. Though

Count Won Buelow's speech ut the

Governor Tanner Of Illinois does not
intend to retire from politics. Anybody
that puts that construction on his recsnt
announcement that he will not DO oan-
didate for the governorship makes mis-
take. He is going to fight for Senator
Cullomfs seat. Tanner has made pretty
bad governor and brought good deal
of discredit upon the Republican party.
In the Senate he would be even more
obieotio nabls than in the governorship.
Unfortunately 1t is thought probable
that he may be able to put up pretty
stiff fight against Cullom.

The English public are relieving their

much as Americans used to relieve theirs
by abusing Secretary Alger. OF course
British feelings are far more wrought up
than ours We had victories. even with
III, alleged mismanagsn emit, but the
English have had nothing but defeats.
u d I dly much Of the British criticism
is unjust, but not all Of 1t Is unfounded.
Th,Ie has undoubtedly been . good deal
of bad management somewhere. Prob
ably the secret of a good deal Of 1t Is an
