London. Saturday. Oct. 2I.-tCopyriGht,

Now that the elections are over idle peo-
pie are amusing themselves with recon-
structinS the cabinet. hut Lord Salisbury
is not a man given TO changes.
His motives for change in this instance
are not obvious. Before the dissolution of
Parliament it might have been thought that
to strengthen his administration would give
him A better chance AT the polls. but he
preferred TO rely upon the Khaki fever"
to pull him through and the result justified
his Judgment. If the Government is good
enough for the country it may we'll be
good enough for the Prime Minister. Mean
while. Salisbury has plenty of time for the
fullest consideration. The new Parliament
IS not likely to meet before the end of
January or the beginning of February.
The opposition does not count. 1t cannot
understand the position of those Liberals
who say the Khaki trick failed because
the Ministerialists have not increased their
ma jority. No sane Government would de-
sire to reckon upon more than Ioo votes on
Il division. Indeed. the danger is all the
other way The Government would he
stronger If the opposition were less weak.
The fact is the Liberal party is much weak
er than tner huHoeTs Inc Liberals ap-
parently do not want a leader. There are
few more capable men in Great Britain
than Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman. One
Of Sir HenTy's most distinguished col
leagues in the Cabinets of Gladstone and
Rosebery told me there was no post under
the crown for which Sir Henry was unfit,
but no man can lead party which is rent
asunder by fundamental differences of opin-
ion, as the Liberal party is to-day.
