the Brooklyn Democratic Club, whose representa-
tive he Albany. He started out by tracing
the development of the home rule for cities idea
and said that the Republican platform last fall
had an admirable and adequate declaration on the
subject. Then he continued:

Before Mr.. Shepard spoke Senator Victor j.

from Manhattan, reviewed the work Of the last
session at Albany He severely criticized what he
called the betrayal of the home rule idea by the
Republicans He declared that the only issue that
the party had for the coming campaign was the
low tax rate and he attempted to show that the
lowering Of the rate was apparent rather than
real The speaker said that the gradual diversion
of all personal property from local taxable assets

OF THE LANDSTHING.
Copenhagen April 10.--The newspapers favor

the United States say that the unanimous vote
of the opposition in the Landsthing upper
housed, yesterday, not actuated by interest
for the islands their inhabitants. but by
party consideration. the intention being to in
lure the Ministry. Estrup. old leader of the
Right was the initiator of the movement
Leading politicians think the final result de
ment's action and the willingness OF the Folke-
after the ratification of the treaty Some of the
papers advocate dissolution of the LandsthinS.
and others urge a postponement of the matter
till after the September elections for members
of the Landsthing. when the Ministry hopes TO
secure a ma jority. In that case, the limit of the
time allowed for the ratification of the treaty
will have to he extended
Although the president of the Landsthing has
requested a brief discussion of the treaty at
the public session. it is expected that the ma
iority will make a scandal, by refusing to agree
to this.
The pubic. generally. disapproves OF what IS
termed the Landsthing'S unreasonable and IN
consistent attitude toward it's own former Min
istrv which instituted the negotiations for the
sale of the islands. and 1t is pointed out that
fourteen out of the fifteen members or the
Finance Committee of the Landsthng recon-
mended the sale.
