London, Jan. 12 a. n.-The political oratory
yesterday strengthened the impression that the
government is searching |or the lines of least
possible resistance. Mr.. Balfour minimized at
Manchester the importance of the projected
changes in procedure in the Commons The priv
neges Of debate, he asserted. would not be seri-
ously curtaiied, but the convenience and COM
fort Of the House and the amenities of Parlia-
mentary intercourse would be promoted The
inference which the Nationalists will draw is
that they will have little difficulty in adapting
themselves to the new rules and maintaining
their harassing policy of obstruction. There is
no ntination that the question of abuse will be
abated nor that financial votes will escape
closure veteran observer who is an official
informs me that there is only one practical
method of obviating the evil Of which Lord
Rosebery complained. This is the introduction
Of the committee system by which a critical ex-
animation Of every estimate and money vote can
be secured in the committee room, the House
reserving the privilege of final decision in open
session There is no ground for believing that
the government intends to commit itself TO so
sensible a reform
Mr.. Chamberlain az Birmingham was excep-
tionally cautious. weighing every word and con-
tenting himself mainly with condemning vitu-
peration at home and abroad and with greeting
Lord Rosebery's alternative government, now on
q tour, with sarcasms He spoke with sturdy
dignity. holding partisans in England respon-
sibe for the disgraceful foreign lbes upon the
country and its soldiers
George Wyndham also found occasion to in
form Irish audience that the land purchase
measure which he intended TO introduce would
not contain a compulsory clause, but would
facilitate the transfers of land without inter
fering with the option discretion either Of
landlord or tenant He also took cheerful view
Of the innocuous nature of the Irish agitation as

The Close Of the Canvass.


Yesterday the political canvass was
brought to a close, 80 far as concerns
the activity of spellbinders, the noise Of
mass meetings and the glare of torch
light professions.
The apathy Of which we heard so
much a few weeks ago seems to have
disappeared. Among the betting men.
especially, there is no sign of it. Appar-
emily, the voting on Tuesday is going to
be as general in both parties as ever be-
fore at an elect ion not for President.
What are the chances? Nobody's pre-
dictions as 10 the result Of the election
are of any value. Politicians and political
chairmen on both sides are unable to
guess, however confident they may pre-
tend to be Generally, they are too close
to the details Of a canvass 10 be valuable
judges of the effects of it on broad scale.
They can see only what is near to them,
and the more active and the more useful
they are in their limited spheres the less
is their opportunity to survey the whole
field.
All that can be said with certainty is
that the betting favors the Republicans,
and very strongly.

When LESTER WALLACK turned his
back on Thirteenth street and Broad
way and became the occupant of new
theatre at Thirtieth street, there was
a general impression that he was vent
uresome. Yet only few years elapsed
before Thirty-fourth street became the
lower border of the theatrical district
The Metropolitan Opera House was
opened in the fall of 1883. and around
that unbeautiful home of lyric art gath
cred the Casino, the kniCkerbockcr,
the Broadway and the Empire. The
northern boundary of the theatrical
region was Forty-second street. and
across this the restless and exploring
OSCAR HAMMERsTEIN led the way.
The settlement of the rapd-transit
route speedily justified Miro HAMMER
STEMS move and Long Acre Square
has become the centre of building
activity not surpassed since the adj
vent of the elevated road replaced the
goats of the West Side rocks with drills
and blasting powder. Among the new
buildings in course of erection in the
Long Acre district are theatres, one
of which is to take the place of the old
Lyccum. So rapidly have new theatres
followed one another in the region
which twenty years ago was regarded
as too far uptown for places of amuse-
ment, that not few persons wonder
whether the building of playhouses is
not overdone
But there need be no fear on that
ground. The progress of events shows
that theatre is property of short
life. Upward the star of empire takes
its way and in the course of time the
theatres below Thirty-fourth street will
repeat the history of the old Wallack s
and become as the Star was. After
that they will make way for other build
ings. About twenty years seems to
be the life of theatre. Sometimes
it is less sometimes little more. Al
ready a theatre has been built on the
circle at Fifty-ninth street and Eighth
avenue, and that part of the city will
doubtless see other playhouses at a
time not very distant.
II does not seem likely that the move
ment will go further up, for Central
Park interposes serious obstacle.

disguised by a professed desire on the
part Of the revolutionists to attain politi.
cal independence, our State Department
would hold that the Monroe Doctrine
had been defied, and that. unless we
were prepared to let the doctrine become
a dead letter. it would be our duty to
demonstrate against any such interview
ton on the part of the Berlin Govern
ment. The real purpose of Germany
would not be concealed by the pretence
that she was not endeavoring to intro
duce her monarchical system in the New
World. but, on the contrary, to favor
the development Of the republican prin-
ciple. The applications of that principle,
whether they tend to political consolida-
ton or to political disintegration, must
be left to the American peoples them
selves. The United States have con-
sistently forborne to interfere, and they
cannot be expected to brook interference
on the part Of European Power.
