London, Aug. 26.-The uncertainty
of England's political future, and the
probability that Lord Salisbury will re-
sign as Premier before another session
of Parliament are subjects that are
causing much uneasipess among poll
ticians. In late discussion of the
matter In one of the political clubs
none of the politicians present were
able to assert what are the intentions
Of the Prime Minister, but many were
unpleasantly confident In regard to
Englands future IL the government OF
the country shall be conducted In the
same weak and apathetic manner OF
the past few years.
In spite of efforts to subdue 1t, there
is growing opinion among shrewd
thinkers that a remarkable change
must soon take-place IL England is not
TO lose her place of supremacy among
the nations of the world.
Many of these thinkers are of the
opinion that there Is much to be hoped

Liberals are giving place to the Church

in England, the Colonial Office, in spite
Of everything, is the best managed
department of the government.
Chamberlain Is not the blunderer of
the Boer war; all the blame must rest
upon the shoulders of the officers of
the War department. Their methods
In many instances are regarded as
positively idiotlc. For example, those
beaurocrats recently had submitted to
them one of the most remarkable guns
ever invented The rife is 10 feet long
and fires 35-pound gelanite shell
FIVE miles. The War Office refused tc
even look at 1t or to detail officers Il

The universally noted conservatism
OF the present government is exempli
ned in the far East, where the British
authorities are doing their best to pre-
vent the spread OF education, and tn,
policy OF preventing national education

The police have an unpleasant sean

servatism, social influence and favor
