Two recent rumors, having no appar-
ent connection and originating a long dis
tancc apart, are nevertheless worth
simultaneous study. The first suggests
that Lord Salisbury is anxious to retire
as soon as possible from pubic affairs.
It is generally believed that his own
physical infirmities, following on a se>
we're domestic bereavement led him to
seek this release several months ago, and
that he was only kept in office by Il per-
sOnal appeal from Queen Victoria After
so long and arduOuS a career he may
we'll claim to have earned freedom from
further laboTs, and it IS badly likely
that the new king will put pressure upon
his to contiUe.
In the present condition of British af>
fairs qualifications OF spec al KIND will
be needed in the man who succeeds to
the premiership. Ever since the first dis
asters' in South Africa the nation has
been clamoring for a strong leader The
cry for drastic reform in government de-
partments, particularly at the war Office,
is becoming Irresistible. A demand fer
competent business management, UNI
ShaCklGd by tra ditional TOut ne is heard
from every newspaper and political plat
form in the kingdom. At the same time,
the difficulties of the situation abroad,
where much may depend on the tone of

Balfour and his unwiilingneEs 10 trouble
about anything outside his own imme~
date circle make him impossible as q
premier, except on Robinson CrUsOe's
island. The strong man Of the cabinet,
Mr.. Chamberlain, will leave no stone un-
turned to compass his supreme ambition,
but he may find an unexpected obstacle
in the growing popular notion that the
war FASTENED the queen death. Besides,
there is still a strong element in the
Onionist party which will insist that
whoever may be prime minister, it shall
at any rate be a gentleman.

the second IUmor to which we have al

Stranger things have happened than that
he should be promoted over the heads
OF men who have been much more prom
inently in the public eye. In Calcutta
he has shown just the virtues that are
so sadly lacking in Downing street. He
has accomplished the great exploits of
breaking through the red tape of the per,
mGnent officials and seeing; Judging and

Drug company today repulsed six women
VINO were making a determined assault
on the concerns store, at Lake street
and sacramento avenue. The glass in
the front door was shattered and $50
worth of drugs in the show windows
was destroyed before the "smashers"
were beaten away. Safranek tried to hold
one of the women prisoner, but she was
rescued by her five companions One
of the raiders shouted: "Hurrah for
Zion and DoWie"
The identity of the women could not
be discovered, however, and the police
have failed to make any arrests.
During the lull in business, Safranek
saw the women fling through the snow
drifts in Lake street toward the store
The women carried canes, clubs and
hatchets.
The clerk and the women reached the
door at the same time and for a second
glared at each other in silent challenge
Then the glass was splintered by blows
from the canes and one woman leaned
through the opening thus made and
swept $50 worth of drugs in the show
windows to the floor. The clerk waited
no longer. His fists shot out and the
women took to their heels.
