Lord sauIsburr,s Forecast

London, May 30.-Lord Salisbury,
who was entertained at dinner last
evening by the city Of London Con-
servative association, made an inn
portant announcement regarding the
governments South African policy. He
said. 1--WE were forced into war by the
action Of our opponents. To say that
because we repudiated the greed OF
territory we therefore bound ourselves
never TO annex any territory is q most
ridiculous misconstruction. ! dwell on
this point because this matter OF an
nexation is about to become a burning
question. We have made a tremendous
sacrifice Of blood and treasure in this
conflict. and the only certainty Of pre-
venting a recurrence Of this fearful
war is to insure that never again shall
such vast accumulations Of ornaments
occur. and that not a shred of the
former independence of the republic
shall remain. We are not yet at the
end Of the war, but l shall venture TO
lay II down as primary condition OF
any future settlement that precautions
will be taken of such a character that
such n war will never occur again. Il
will also be our duty to protect those
native races who have been so sorely
afflicted and at the same time so to
conduct their policy that. so far as
possible. there shall be a reconciliation
and that every one shall be a happy
member of the British empire"

Newark, May 30.-Former Senator

i cannot talk of the national situa-

For myself, l can express the situa-
tion in a very few words. Any measure

That is my position

the principles that are right.
Politics, not only in this state. have
gotten into such a condition that hon

task before them, for they will have To
do thihgs that will make enemies of
their political friends.
The Democrats could not win under
any circumstances, no matter how
much they talk Free Trade. They NAV
talk upon the stump, but they dare not
stand upon that platform.
In this state l believe all Union Re

Mr.. Addicks as a man is a polished
gentleman, but as a politician he mas
put himself up as a candidate for
United States senator with no respect
for the party. He has done no particu-
lar acts that would make him a good
Republican. He has himself said that
he paid for the goods and that they
have not been delivered. That is the
situation.
Il do not propose to be an advocate
of any man who has no respect for his
