Il regard the change beneficial to Ire
land in the long run. Mr. Balfour has had
much experience in Ireland, and, though he
is not yet a home ruler, all his old animosi-
ty has disappeared, and he is just the man
to propose a solution of the long outstand-
ing difficulty. But Mr.. Balfour does not
come into Office at a very happy moment
The education bill, which he is plotting
through the house of commons, arouses ire

some of his own political friends. The at

The livsIiest speculation is rife as to the

grip that was almost painful. For instance
when the terms of peace in South Africa
had to be announced. he calmly asked the
house of lords whether they desired 10 hear

though the communication was really Of
little or no Importance.

influenced partly by the lesira to make
sure of the succession being in the Cecil
family, and still more with 4 view to pre-
venting the accession of Mr.. Chamberlain
No man could be more aversc than is Lord
Salisbury TO supreme power being in the
hands of so impulSive, restless and arrogant
a politician as the colonial secretary.
Hostility to Joseph Chamberlain
Though they mad been made political
bcdfellows by necessity. Lord Salisbury and
MIR. Chamberlain remained apart and were
secretly hostile to each other. In addition.
the accession of Mr.. Chamberlain might
involve the immediate dismissal OF LORD
Cranborne (under secretary for the foreign
office, and the Earl of Selborne first lord
of the admiralty, one the son and the 9TH
err the son-in-Iaw OF Lord Salisbury, and it
must also have meant such a paling of the
s.ar of Mr.. Balfour as to practically de-
stroy his prestige
1T is doubtful, in any case. whether the
rank and file of the tory party would have
accepted Mr. Chamberlain willingly. They
use him, but they do not like him. There
is a certain section of young tories who do
not love Balfour, thinking him slack, deca-
dent and iethargic. but he Is still the dar-
ling of the straight conservatives. and his
appointment will be even more popular with
his political opponents than with his politt-
cal friends. Despite his many faults, Mr..
Balfour remains the most popular figure in
the house of commons, and his very faults
help him in this respect II he be indoleat,
he is also courteous, tolerant and broad
minded. and he will not insult other na :
tions, as Mr.. Chamberlain has done. His

that this country would be giving
France preferential rates. while our
goods would be forced to go into
France precisely the same as those for
any other country. France discrimi-
mates against the United States, and
that fact must be taken into account
in any treaty relations between the
two countries.
Dealing more specifically with tariff
revision, Senator Lodge said that
there could be no sectional legislation.
In other words, New England could
not insist on tariff revision for its par
ticular section without sacrificing
much more than could possibly be
gained.
Senator Lodge ended by saying that
the Republican party could be trusted
to effect tariff revision when condi-
lions warranted such changes, and
that when that time came the tariff
would not be revised on free trade or
sectional lines.

repeat the feat. After the work OF
building chains of ladders, teams OF
two men each were put to work
standing on the sills," and thus one
man would stand on the sill of a win
dow, and hook a ladder into the win
dow above, while his comrade would
stand inside and hold fast to his belt.
In this way two men, with single
ladder, would quickly mount to the
roof. The feat OF "strSddling the
sills" followed, where a man without
the help of a comrade within, hung
to a window and hooked his ladder
into the easement above.

Free Trade and Free Riot.

The book issued by the Democratic
Congressional Committee for the in
SEPARATION of that party's speakers and
the instruction of the voters in the
present campaign contains BIT pages
almost entirely devoted to two sub
jects.
About one-third of the volume IS
filed with censures of the American
army's conduct in the Philippines.
The remainder is chiefly devoted to
denunciation of the policy of protec-
ton to home industries. Reciprocity
is described as a humbug and worse
than protection.
The head and front of the army's
offending, from the viewpoint of the
Democratic authors of this book, evil
IDENTIFY is that it put down lawless-
ness and restored peace and order in
the islands.
The Democratic substitute for this
policy is. of course, that we shall
leave the islands at once and permit
their people to resume those throat
cutting diversions which we so
cruelty interrupted.
Because, while the American peo-
pie have prospered under the protec-
tive policy as never before in their
history, trusts have also f1ourished,

Free trade" they observe, would
open our markets to benefit our own
country" Free trade is their remedy
for trusts and all the ills they ascribe
to protection. Free trade with all the
world is the goal they set for the
nation and to which they promise the
Democratic party will lead
The American people have had,
however, considerable experience OF
the Democratic policies of free trade
and free riot, and do not care for
any more.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Farmers Way.

Democratic papers are not resortine
this year to their time honored Gus
tom of telling the honest farmer that
he is the victim of Republican mis-
rule. Things have come the farmers
way so directly during the present
administration of affairs that the old
Democratic wall would be worse than
a poor joke. His lands have increas.
ed. in value more than twenty-five per
cent and everything the farm pro
duces sells at prices far in advance OF
those offered in the days of Grover
the Good. The Indiana farmers are
also in favor of letting good enough
alone.-Terre Haute Tribune,
