1t really looks as if a new cabinet
position is to be created, to be known
as the department of commerce, though
it will be difficult to define the duties
Of the office. But there is no trouble
to create q new office or to raise the
salary of an old one. 1t is only when
the effort is made to abolish an old
Office or to reduce the emoluments
thereof that the tug of war comes
Just why bureau of commerce could
not be created in the agricultural de-
partment which would answer every
purpose and save much money is one
Of thosakhings which it appears that
no fellow can find out.

MORLEY ON GLADSTONE.
The Grand Old Man VIII Live In His.

The Grand Old Man VIII Live in His.
tory as a Statesman.
From the London Spectator, October 20.
Mr.. Morley, in unveiling statue Of Mr.
Gladstone at Manchester pronounced a
magnificent eulogy on its original. Indeed
1t was a little too magnificent. Opinion
about Mr.. Gladstone has, even with his
admirers, reached the critical stage, and
unbroken eulogy, though delivered with
Mr.. Morley's admirable literary power, has
an effect of artificiality. Mr.. Morley will
allow of no failure in Mr.. Gladstone's mind
except his want of interest in science or
the scientific. and did not dwell on, though
he mentioned 1t, his want of sympathy for
the north In Its great struggle-a want
which, we believe, was due to a tolerance
for negro slavery, Of which he never got
perfectly rid. For the rest Mr.. Morley did
no more than justice to Mr.. Gladstone's
commons and the English people, to his
unttring industry. to the depth Of his in
sight into the true principles Of finance, to
his courage In applying them, often with
the cabinet as well as the interests strug-
Cling against him, and to the nobility of
the aims which he always convinced him.
self he sought. The orator maintained that
Mr.. Gladstone always led instead Of fol-
lowing opinion, that he possessed in the
highest degree driving power" and that
he always acted up to that high Christian
ideal which from the first had filed his
soul.
Much, perhaps. most, of all this is true.
though but for the golden mouth and
shifting eyes" 1t might have remained un-
perceived; but we hope that Mr.. Morley in
his biography will remember, what in his
speech he forgets, that Mr. Gladstone will
live in history accordifig to the estimate
historians form Of him, not as orator or as
moralist, but as statesman.o We cannot
but think that the answer is less certain
than Mr.. Morley appears to believe. Mr.
Gladstone gave the English people pros
perity; he made military s:ref6rm possible
by abolishing purchase; he sbegan the re-
form Of land tenure in Ireland. and he
helped materially in the emancipation of
Italy and the enlargement Of Greece. On
tha other hand, he did rot give us an army
which he could have done, Ger the people
would have accepted hisscounsel; he did not
remove, even in degree the hostility of
the Irish people; he was SO wrong about the
American civil war that he nearly made
the breach between EnRaand and America
rreparable-virtually ackmowledging as he
did, that the south was a nation" he
brought on us by his policy iniSouth Africa
the great struggle which is aAow crippline
US; and he broke to pieces, its may be for
ever, the British liberap party, the greatest
instrument of welI-ordered progress which
the last two generations have beheld. The
historian will have much to clear up or ad-
init. as well as much to praise, and he will
have little help from etIlogies such as Mr.
Morley's. though IL he is capable of literary
enjoyment they VIII furnish him with much
delightful reading. AZ

BANKRUPT Law POPULAR.
Result of National Association of
referees Investigation.

NEW Z0RK, Dec 25.-According to an
Investigation made by the executive com
mittee of the National Association of Ref
efees IN Bankruptcy, commercial bodies
and individual business houses through
out the country are perfectly satisfied
with the National Bankruptcy law, now
in force Less than per cent Of those
whose opinion was sought expressed
themselves in favor of repeating the law.
Morris S. Wise, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee, has submitted to Con-
gress the results of the associations in
vestigatIon- The enquiry was first pro-
posed at convention of referees in bank
ruptcy held in Buffalo last August.
It was proposed that an endeayor be
made to learn the sentiment of business
men throughout the country regarding the
act of bankruptcy Of 1898 Nearly four
teen thousand enquiries were sent broad
cast to boards Of trade, chambers of COM
mecce, to members Of the National Credit
Mems Association and individual firms.
More than one thousand replies were re-
ceIyed by the committee, of which T94 ex-
pressed themselves in favor Of the reten-
ton Of the law but advocated the RAY
amendment Thirty-two correspondents
preferred that the law be left as it is,
while only 10 expressed & desire for a
repeal of the law
Among those who desired that the law
be repealed, the majority were wholesale
merchants and manufacturers. Thirteen
bankers, four lawyers and four referees
were in favor of repeal Of the law.
There is al almost unanimous senti-
ment," said Mr.. Wise, "in favor Of uni
form and national bankruptcy law and
general opinion that the present law needs
amendment.
The replies TO the enquiries Of the
committee anne from all sections Of the
country II was assumed that in most
cases when the persons addressed were
at all seriously opposed to the law they
would avail themselves of the opportunity
to record their opposition and state their
objections.

Department for locating the bridge higher
up the river was that the Long Bridge
lying low in the water, with the neces-
saEy draw furnished a great impeachment
TO the natural flow of the stream. The
! structure at high water, the report said,
served all the purposes of q dam across
the Potomac and vastly increased the
| danger from food to the city. The army
engineers were CT the opinion that by
locating the bridge above the Aqueduet
Bridge and building it higher out Of the
water the danger spoken of would be
averted. Another incidental advantage
would be that the bridge would be above
the Line Of principal navigation, and that
if draw vas necessary it would have to
be used much less frequently than il To-
Gated on the site Of the present Ions

An advantage urged by Mr. Giesy in

says, would not cost more at Eighteenth
