ENTIRE cAB1NET RESIGNED.
Empire Again in the Throes of Minis
 terial Earthquake.

e. -I6fld1 GdTluQudke.
 Yokohama, May 5, via Victoria, B. O., May 15.-This morning comes the announcement that the entire cabinet resigned yesterday and the empire is again in the throes of a ministerial earthquake. The cause of the present trouble is peculiar, it being occasioned by a recalcitrant of the cabinet, Wis count Matanabe, minister of finance, who has become persona non grata to the rest, and who refused to resign. The other members of the cabinet, therefore, adopted the unusual course of resigning themselves. The upshot will probably be that after intellectual attempts to get some other leader to form a new cabinet, Marquis Ito will come into the field again as the only possibility and reappoint the old cab met with the exception of the viscount.
 The strain upon Marquis Ito, veteran though he is, is almost too much for one man, as upon him deyolyes the duty of leader of the government and of most turb ulent and unmanageable political party. The experiment of party government now being tried is Interesting enough, but its success is anything but hattering.

The Reporter sends to subscrib-
ers only. The difference is just
this: Hereford people realize
that no town can succeed with
out paper, and a paper cannot
do good work unless it is sup
ported. IA paper must pay its
running expenses if it is respect
ed and unless it is, it is no cred
it to the town. We have been
struggling along trying to get
out a paper that reflects the
prosperity of the town, but it is
up hill work with the support
we get, we therefore must eth
er get better patronage or cur
tail the paper to tit what we do
get.

We have received many com

done all we could for the up

tainly think we deserve a more
liberal patronage from the peo-

they can without paying a share
of the general expense necessary
to the success of the town. We
have sent many thousands of

not RECEIVED cent. Some of

/. /. |. = - . . - - - :

In our last issue we published
a financial statement showing
the receipts and disbursements
of the committee for the re-un
ion. 1t shows that more money
has been expended than taken
in. Messrs. H. E. Hume, j. G..
Pipkin and j. Nj. Thacker made
a note in the bank for sos. 60
which has been due some little
time. Now of course these gen
tlemen can proba bly, renew as
the bank people are very accom-
modating, but it is not fair that
they should carry this burden.
Mr.. Thacker is gone and Messrs.
Hume and Pipkin certainly
have done enough for the reun-
ion without having this note to
carry, therefore. we would SuS'
gest that some plan be adopted
to raise the money and pay this
Indebtedness off and be rid of it.
The published list shows a good
many things, one is that some
people have contributed liberal
ly while others have not, etc.
What it does not show is the
relative amount of labor given
for which not even thanks have
been rendered and no men in
town deserve more praise for
hard work done, money and
time given than H. E. Hume
and j. G, Pipkin. An old adage
says ''you can drive a willing
horse to death. " Now these
two should be relieved of this
note. Suggestions are in order.

SEPTEMBER

The golden-rod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown:
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down;
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun:
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges tlaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook.
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odOrs rise:
At noon the roadsides fiuttcr
With yellow butterflies.
BY all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summers best OF weather
And autum's best of cheer.
