IT Is NOW printed 10 the newspapers
that the creditor class of the country's
population have come to the determi.
nation to press their democratic debtors
for g settlement, and to grant them no
more indulgence unless they manifest
a change of mind and show disposi-
ton to vote for cold monometallism.
1t really seems as if the rich are doing
all they can to widen the breach that
always exists between them and their
poor fellow citizens, though, If they have
good sense, they must know that such
breach is not conducive even to their
own interest.

The English Elections.

London, Oct. 1.-BallotiDg in the
English general elections for members
OF parliament began today, aud will
continue for about fifteen days. Mr..
Chamberlain, who is the acknowledged
political leader of the conservative
party, has managed to keep but one is
sue to the front during he campaign.
| L. is whether or not the electors Sd
prove of the war and frankly aggres-
awe imperial policy. The liberals have
found it difficult TO disapproye OF sdc-
cessful war and there has been no seri.
GUS opposition to Mr.. Chamberlain on
that ground. The campaign therefore
has degenerated to largo extent into
personal abuse OF Chamberlain. Cham
bsrlain's triumph has been from the
first a foregone conclusion and most
enthusiastic liberals have simply tried
TO keep down the conservative majority.
The southern part OF England will

lect only six liberals. In the north of

servatives gain heavily they cannot

easily, war or DO war. Gladstone's old
district, Midlothian, is. however, likely

vote, but stay .al-homes, Engishmen
who are on the old register, may vote
