Lord Rosebery and his friends, remains
yet to be fought out.
There is only one way in which union
can be accomplished in the Liberal party.
That is by turning over the party admin
istration to either one or other of the
two divisions and fighting the issue out
fully and fairly as to what the true
policy of the party should be. This has
been done or is in progress in the United
States among the Democrats. AS in Eng
land, so here. as the result of two sue
ceeding elections the opposition to the
government has been rendered innocuous.
How long it will so remain must in both
cases depend on the. success which viii
attend the effort to overturn the party
policies which have wrought SO much of
ruin and have succeeded, despite both
crimes and blunders in maintaining in
each case national administration in

to perpetuate the existing benumbed con-
dition of the party energies. With Asquith
and Rosebery on the one side and Nor
ley and Stead on the other the control of
the Liberal party should be settled at the
earliest possible day. The reaction
against Imperialism will surely set in be-
fore long both here and in England. The

PERJURY IN COURT.

The president of the Iowa Bar associa-
ticn, in a lecture delivered within a Gay
or two, laid great stress on the prevalence
Of perjury among litigants in the co2rts.
He declared among other things that ev-
cry practicing lawyer had seen criminals,
about whose guilt there ought to be no
doubt, discharged from all responsibility
for their crimes through the operat on Of
scarcely concealed perjury.
The wrong and danger thus pointed out
tons; but the lecturer overstates his
case when he ind Gates that the ordinary
litigant approaches the courts of justice
with falsehood on his lips and perjury IN.
his heart That is not the case. Indeed,
it would he much nearer the truth had
the declaration been made that what ap-
pears on it's face to be perjury is fully
accounted for by the difference in the
point of view or in the failure to recoi-
lect details. No two persons see the Same
transaction with the same eyes Seldom
are two persons capable of giving
identical statements of the same transao-
tion. Every day witnesses are heard
in court testifying under oath to irrecon-
cilable states of fact, and neither court
nor lawyers are willing to believe that
there exists the slightest disposition en-
their part to 4nisstate the facts as the
witnesses believe them 70 he
No. it Is not in the higher courts. or in
the giving or oral testimony in the courts
that the evil of perjury is made mani
fest. 1t is in the criminal department
of the courts. and especially in the police
courts. The police themselves arc as
a rule the most notorious and remorse-
less offenders in this regard 1t is, per-
haps. in the preparation of af1davits
for use in litigated cases in court that
the crime is oftenest displayed. Business
men and, indeed, men in every rank; are
unwilling to look too closely into the
statements If a given paper presented
to them for signature which they are
Led to believe Is necessary to the promo
tion of their interests in court So, too,
the administration of an oath by the aver
age notary public is the emptiest for
nula, which impresses Itself on no one.
If the evil Of perjury Is Of as wide ex-
tent as President Mccarthy, of the Iowa
Bar association would have us believe It
is indeed deplorable. But as a public
censor and guide Mr. Mccarthy should
have told us where the remedy is to
be found. There is infinitely more occa-
sion nowadays for the persons to speak
under oath, and there is no doubt a cor
respondtngly greater degree OF false swear
ing; but it would be very hard to estab-
lish the proposition that there is rela-
lively as much falsehood or perjury as
there was say fifty years ago. And
even If there were 1t is matter Of little
value as public information, save as con-
sidered with reference to an adequate
remedy. about which, so far as the press
reports indicate, President Mccarthy had
nothing whatever to say

From time to time some new scheme

is due to the fact that the old theory Of

The city of Glasgow has won much
fame as an advanced municipality in all
That relates to the physical and moral
people. It has well deserved it's repu-
tation by what has already been accom-
plished; but it keeps on building up still
further claims to the admiration of all
who think at all of the welfare of the
weaker clements of human society. The
latest undertaking in promotion of mnnic-
ipaI reform in Glasgow is the establish
ment of what is called the Scotch model
saloon.
OF course we are all familiar with the
operation OF the South Carolina scheme
of drink dispensaries; and most people
know something about the municipaliza-
ton OF drink-selling which prevails In

body Of men who take 4 per cent as

counter attractions to the public house
and encouraging rational recreation and
entertainment
Something of this kind Is in operation
in Gothenburg, where the shareholders of
the licensing company receive per cent
on their investment the surplus being
divided between the town and state treas
uries and the agricultural societies. The
underlying idea. however, is the Same
in all cases-South Carolina, Sweden,
Gothenburg and Glasgow. It is that the

conducting the saloon wholly as a private
undertaking. engaged in with a view to
making the largest possible amount OF

PLoW1YG HIS OWN FURROW.

Lord Rosebery in his recent manifesto
took step which is evidently destined
to produce positive results on the prog

future in the British empire. Certainly
the position he assumes toward the prog

ignored by his party, even though it will

The Tory government in England, like
the Republican government in the United

the other. The continued sway Of The
