not going to pay for this war, although
if it had not been for them it is likely
that the war would never have began.
The mines already the standing all

.'Of course, rich and powerful ma

question is: How long time can we
devote to it and how great force
can we use for it, and how many mil
lions can we spend on it without loss
of prestige? Wherever the line is in
each of those three matters, to go be-

"A qualified pledge has been given
to amend the Workmen's Compensa-
ton for Accidents act. This act was
initiated by Chamberlain as a better
method than the Employers Liability
act, and his main argument was that
compensation would be got automat-
ically without litigation. This has not
turned out to be the case. No act has
ever been drawn worse or has led on
such incessant and repeated litigation
on the interruption of a vast number
of the detail provisions The compen-
sation has been lost in hundreds of
cases by flaws in the act Besides
this, half the workmen in the country
including the agricultural laborers and
the sailors, have been excluded by the
act. A sort of promise has been given
to clear up this legislative mess and
complete the job next session.

leaders-or Mr.. Bryce. The attitude
adopted by Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-
herman is taken to mean that, so far
as Parliamentary action is concerned,
he will ignore the divergent course
taken by Sir Edward Grey, Mr.. AS
quith and Sir Henry Fowler, and as
sert his own view without further
qualification now that he is convinced
the party and the country is behind
him.
''The view of practical men is that in
asmuch as the vast majority of active
Liberals is opposed to the course of the
negotiations and to Mr.. Chamberlain's
policy, and thinks the war the result
either of bungling or deliberate provo
cation, the opinions of the minority
matter little, as all Liberals will tend
TO unite to condemn the stupid inca
pacity with which the war has been
conducted, and to demand moderate
and conciliatory arrangements for the
future of the Transyaal and the Orange
Free State. From these considerations
it is deduced that complete ultimate
unity Of the party will be attained I'M

Bannerman, who has shown the great

pointment.

do so.

the spring of 1901. An additional rea-
son for this is to be found in the enor-
nous improvement in trade, which is
likely to run through many months yet.
The government will stop in Office to
reap the full benefit of this in putting
their finances in order. This last

next springs budget must be unsatis-

might easily get double that, and may
run up to as much as half billion
dollars. When these facts are divulg-
ed to the taxpayer he is going to be
heard from. The withdrawal of all
these reservists and volunteers for
service in South Africa is beginning
to interfere with business. Again, the
long lists of dead and wounded have
touched others besides the family of
poor Tommy Atkins. All of these
things are going to have greater eff

saIisbury's Successor.
Lord Salisbury is going to resign as
soon as he can do so properly, and that
fact lends additional interest to the
coming session. Who would succeed
him? The answer according to popu-
lar Judgment would be: Either Cham
berlain or Balfour. The answer ac-
cording to Tory who is particularly
we'll informed is that Chamberlain does
not really represent the Conservative
party, and that the classic MIR. Bailfour
is not sufficiently strongwilled, strong
minded and heavy-fisted. He is too
much of a philosopher-and young at
that. Therefore, says my Tory, unless
the Conservatives should be beaten in
