A VERY few years ago the exporta-
ton of 100000 in gold to Europe
would have caused great uneasiness In
financial circles. The nation is now
enjoying such great prosperity that
this enormous shipment of gold ex-
cites but little comment, even in the
stock market, which is prone to regard
the loss of gold as an evidence of de-
clining commerce and industrial stag
nation. The street looks upon the
shipments of gold with comparative
Indifference and concludes that the
shipments are made necessary by the
heavy obligations assumed by some of
New York's great fnanciers at the
time of the struggle for the control of
the Northern Pacific Railway last
Spring.

The recent embargo which the fog
put upon the traffic Of England, partic-
ularly in London. where it reached it's
densest and most disagreeable state,
calls attention to the fact that the Lon
don county council is making an inves-
tigation Of the fog nuisance, with the
view Of devising, If possible. some rem
edy for it. AS is well known, the Lon
don fog is simply the ordinary country
fog made dense by the down settling
Of soft coal smoke from the million
chimneys Of the metropolitan area;
hence, while man cannot dispel the
fog, he can by suppressing the smoke
nuisance prevent human agencies from
making a natural visitation so serious
a problem as is the smoke saturated
fog OF the greatest city in the world.

Premier Laur1er predicts that within
@ few years Canada will capture the
iron trade Of the world from the Unit
ed States, Though some extensive
and valuable deposits of iron ore have
lately been opened in the Dominion,
we need have no fear that Sir VIII
frid's prophecy will be realized. There
are two great obstacles, the absence
Of large home market to sustain the
iron plants and the lack Of the capital
and enterprise that are found in the
United States.

The recent arrest and Imprisonment
in Alsace- Lorraine Of naturalized
American citizen reveal the important
fact that no redress is possible through
the United States. Alsace-LOrraine be-
came part Of Germany since our nat
uralization treaties were made with the
other German states, and no new trea-
ty has been negotiated with that di-
vision. Naturanzed Americans there
fore must visit Alsace-LOrraine at their
own risk unless they take the precau-
ton to obtain a special permit from
the imperial governor at Strassburg.
There are many former Alsatians who
have become good American citizens,
and for their protection, should they
desire to revisit their old home, the
state department. should address itself
to negotiating a naturalization treaty
covering that province.

According to a dispatch from Lon
don, no further voluntary surrenders OF
Beers will be accepted, but all burgh-
ers who fall into the hands Of the Brit
ish under any circumstances will be
treated as prisoners Of war and deport-
ed. In sharp contrast with this Is the
statement of a British soldier who was
captured by the Beers and recently re-
turned to Cape Town that he and other
prisoners were we'll treated and releas-
ed shortly after being taken. Which is
the civilized people, the British or the

Opinions of Bishop Joyce.

Bishop Joyce, presiding at the Meth
odist conference az Ripon, said in ar
interview the other day, speaking Of
the various churches:
1.-THE strength of the Episcopal
church is in its rituaIstic service. Oh
the Presbyteria in its dignity. Oh
the Congregational in its hberality
and sociabi1ity. Of the Baptist, in its
LOYALTY. Of the Methodist, Units warm
heartedness." Then he added:
did you ever see a poor preacher IN
the Baptist church? If they have Z
stick, they paint it and varnish it, anc
hold it up with intense loyalty. They
are growing today faster than any
protestant church in the land. And
loyalty is the secret of growth"
And then he said: ''But we Method
lists all want So, 500 preachers for
thousand dollars, and then we stand
off and look at them and turn away tc
criticise."
The old bishop had evidently had his
eyes open, and had discovered cond1
tons that too frequently exist.

The Liberal party in Great Britain is
apparently waking up at Last and is
likely to cut something OF a figure In
the politics of the empire. According
to a recent London cablegram, the Ma
tional Liberal federation, which is the
premier organization of the party, will
soon meet at Derby, when q resolution
will be submitted by delegates from
constituencies throughout the kingdom
demanding that the British cabinet de-
fine in detail IT'S policy in South Africa
and also terms Of settlement. Another
resolution will be submitted condemn
ing the concentration camps in. South
Africa and demanding a remedy. The
movement is a significant indication of
the growing antiwar feeling in the
United Kingdom.

Thus it will be seen that while the
loss Cor October doubled that Of the
previous October the aggregate for the
year thus far was somewhat less than
last year. But the figures are not SUI
fciently far apart to give indication
that losses in this direction will be ma
teria4ly lessened. The facilities for
putting out fires, particularly in the
larger cities, are as nearly perfect as
may reasonably be expected. The only
preventive, therefore, for this enor-
nous drain upon the wealth Of the
country lies In the direction of greater
care and precaution upon the part Of
the people themselves and a more
stringent enforcement OF the penalties
against arson.

ports Of a postofflce robbery at Bristol.

and another bank robbery at Trenton,
KY. In each case the robbers secured
considerable sums of money, while
several persons were injured, two being

ished to the full extent Of the law there
might be fewer Of this sort of crimes,
which are becoming alarmingly preva-
lent. It might be advisable also to in
crease the penalties

The Beers, however, are not noted for
that sort OF courtesy.
Quite In line with The Gazette CORE
epondent's statement Is an excerpt
from the diary just published OF Colo
ned Vallebois-Mareuil the French Off
Ger who was killed in the BOer service.
He declared that the English army
has not enough endurance to aban-
don its comforts for a matter Of three
days" Among these comforts" may
be counted the pianos and kitchen
ranges which Lord Kitchener not long
ago ordered officers not to carry along
with them. Perhaps he might make
more progress if he placed golf and
cricket under the ban.
However it is none OF these things
that constitutes the essential cause Of
the failure Of the British, with force
In numbers vastly superior, to con-
quer the Beers. It Is the heroic and
stubborn resistance Of the burghers,
who choose rather to die in the last
ditch than become the subjects Of an
alien conqueror, a resistance which has
scarcely a parallel in history.

ideal che and 1 1t could be carried into
effect would % hong way toward the
establishment. Of an era Of universal
peace But the nations. while partici-
pating IN the proceedings. refused to
take the scheme very seriously. A high
court OF arbitration was provided for.
and the various nations appointed emf
nent statesmen TO serve thereon, but
they do not seem at all inclined to sub
NIT their cases to it. Meanwhile the
United States drifted into war with
Spain. Great Britain began war on the
Beers, the allied powers sent their
troops to China. and Russia proceeded
with her standardization of Finland,
which is powerless to resort to arms,
while all the nations continue upon q
larger scale than ever the building Of

It Is to be hoped, however, SO far as

work Of the conference at the City OF

Sttration may be followed by more
practical results than have come to the
world from the arbitration scheme

that he arrogates to himself personal
popularity, and is swe11ed out of shape
with the notion that his name at the
head of the Republican ticket gave the
party a majority that it would not 9TH
erwise have received.
This argument has been advanced
by some of his admirers and it falls SO
fiat that it is not worthy of notice.
Governor La Toilette was nominated
in the interests of harmony, pure and
simple. His personal following was
no stronger in 1900 than in 1893, and it
was lighter then than two years pre-
vious.
He has less numerical strength in
the State today than at any time IN his
history, and, deprived of the prestige
of Office, he could not carry a county in
the State for denomination. He has
made no converts since his promotion
to the office of chief executive, but, on
the other hand, he has repealed many
men VINO nave oeeh OAo-tA1hC sup
porters.
The people have come to realize that
he is dangerous man for Governor,
because of his theoretical and Popu-
1istic tendencies, and public confidence
has been destroyed for the same reas-
ons that placed the seal of disapproval
upon the public life of the late ex-Gov-
ernor Pingree, of Michigan.
The free-si1ver wing of the Demo
cratic party is with him because of its
orphanage and lack of more inviting
shelter. He possesses unblen1ished
character, d strong personality and
marked ability IN some directions, Off
set by a stubbornness and sublime
egotism that has had no parallel in the
history Of Wisconsin Governors.
The State is entitled to a Governor
that is not only approachable, but
who possesses the common sense to
treat fairly and considerably every
citizen and every class of citizens
within it's borders.
If the Republican party is to remain
in power it is entitled to man who
will own allegiance to the party, dis
couraging factiona1 strife and promot-
ing harmony, as occasion may present.
a man who will be the Governor IN
fact as we'll as in name.
1t is idle to talk about the issue of
the next campaign being Spooner is
sue. Senator Spooner will succeed
himself if he so desires, and there is no
power in the State that can prevent it.
The issue of the campaign will be
Republication, pure and simple, so
far as the Republican party is con-
cerred. It will not tolerate theories
or theoretical reform. If Governor La
Toilette is to succeed himself it will be
necessary for him to establish an era
of reform in his own political house
hold.
The next Governor of the State
must be an approachab1e Governor,
and not the idol of little coterie of
shouters and favorites. Governor La
Toilette is good enough as man, but
unless he reforms he is not good
enough as a leader to command the
respect and support of a winning con-
stituency.-Janesvi11eG Gazette.
