POLITICS IN ENGLAND.

King Edwards opening of parlia-
ment was an occasion of even greater
pomp and ceremony than his last ap-
pearance in the house of lords, one of
the most interesting sessions Of re-
cent years was begun.
Before the conclusion Of the present
session the whole status OF the liberal
party is likely to be altered and Lord
Rosebery's future determined. Pres
ent indications point to a split which
no middle-road pronOuneements can
heal, and in which Sir Edward Grey, H.
H. Asquith, Sir H. Il. Fowler, r. w.

The difficulty operating against the
successful construction of dynamite
guns hitherto has been the inability
accurately TO fix in advance the place
of conclusion. The shell was apt TO
go off in the gun unless extreme care
was taken TO guard against chance ex-
plOsion. On the other hand, if too
many precautions were taken 10 in

Subject Of Precedence the One Topic
81 COAVersAtiOn Amusing TO
Americans, But Serious
Thing to BrItishers,

The subject of precedence is now
to the fore in coronation gossip. 1t
would seem there is a great differ
ence between ancient custom and the
hard facts of modern life, which, it
is hoped, will be rectifed before
coronation day comes round.
1t is considered by many that the
order of precedence is at least two
centuries behind the times. Take,
for instance, the members of the gov
eTnment alone.
The lord chancellor, the lord presi-
dent of the council, the lord OF the
privy council, the lord of the privy
seal and the chancellor of the duchy
OF Lancaster, all of whom hold com
paratively unimportant offices, have
their places duly assigned, but with
the exception of the chancellor of the
exchequer, the secretaries of state
and members of the administration,
who really count, are not so much as
mentioned in the recognized tables
of precedence.
The prime minister, the most i'm
portant parsonage in the empire next
to the king, has no place in the list.
Arthur Balfour, being a plain com
mOner, takes his place among the or
dinary esquires. Joseph Chamberlain,
as secretary of state for the colonies,
marches some 26 degrees in front of
him, sandwiched between bishops and
barons and minor officers of the house
hold on the one hand and sons Of the
smaller peers on the other.
When there was a lord admiral he
had front place in all public functions,
but the admiralty being now in a com
mission the lord chamberlain takes no
cognizance of his Representatives. So
far as that official is concerned the
present ruler of the kings navee" has
no real existence.
Neither has the president of the
board of trade, the president Of the

WORLD OF SCIENCE.
It Is Amazed by Prof. Loeb's New
Theory of Life.
Chicago University Professor De-
clRreA That Electrical Energy Il
ResPORsibIe for Bodily Action
Life to BE Prolonged.

Prof. Jacques Loeb, of the Chicago
university, read a paper the other day
before the American Physiological So
ciety il which he maintained that the
life Of man may be extended 100 years
or longer by supplying the nerves with
electrical force through proper food
and by the introduction into the body
of chemicals that viii produce cleo
trical force or that will destroy GER
tain particles in the nerves that him
der the generation of electrical force.
Prof. Loeb's discovery is said TO
mark an epoch in the science of life.
The idea, apparently, is that life is re-
ally stimulated and made to continue
by electrical impulses generated by
minute electrical excitants, Of positive
and negative natures, within the body,
actually within the nerves.
The pith of the discovery lies in the
upsetting of the theory that the nerves
are composed of cells, acting one
against the other, and carrying as a
motor impulse to the muscles the sig
nal from the brain. They are, on the
other hand, composed of a colloidal
solution, which is nothing more than
a jelly in solution, the cOlloidal parti-
cles of which carry positive electrical
charges of electricity.
The soluble condition of the nerve
matter is maintained by positively
charged chemical atoms, such as sodi-
um, potassium, calcium and hydrogen.
The nerve stimulation is induced and
the impulse by which the muscles are
attracted is carried along by negative
" charged matter.
So long as the nerve matter remains
in solution there is no impulse, but
when the initial stimulus from the
brain is applied the negative particles
throughout the nerve tissue are made
to act and electrical excitement along
the entire nerve is set up.
The statement simply is that instead
of there being some central battery in
the body where electrical force is gen
Grated electricity by which the motor
nerves are made effective in moving
the human mechanism, is generated in
countless thousands of tiny batteries
distributed throughout the nervous
system, and called into action by a sig
nal from the brain upon the nearest
negative electrOde.
DR.. Loeb said the field was Just be-
ginning to open along the line that

of the board of agriculture nor the
great cOunsellOrs who represent the
king in ireland, India, Canada, Aus
tralia, not to mention the smaller fry
of colonial governors and lieutenant
governors.
An earl marshal court functionary
knows and. respects, and accords to
him particular prominence, but such
unimportant individuals as a com
mander in chief or a mere admiral or
a field marshal are too insignificant to
be included in the general scheme of
things.
There seems to be a great deal of
difference of opinion among the peers
and Peeresses regarding the turning
out of state coaches and chariots on
the occasion of the coronation. One
half the mobiles who own such equip
ages do not intend bringing them out.
The king is therefore TO be petitiOned
either to order them out or request
that state coaches or chariOts be not
used on that day.
One prominent peer who is particu-
larly angry al this state of affairs SAYS:
ut is really extraordinary that there
is any hesitation on the subject, for
surely such an important event should
be celebrated with all the pomp and
splendor possible. If the nobility of
England cannot make a brave show
on such an occasion. when viii they do
so? If people attend the coronation in
ordinary broughams the spectacle will
be shOrn of half its splendor."
There has been considerable doubt
among the ladies chosen TO carry the
queens train on coronation day as to
what they wear. As daughters of peers
they are not entitled to wear eoronets.
Now it is said the queen has deter
mined that her maids shall all be
dressed alike. in white and silver. with
trains of full court length made of
white velvet. In their hair will be
feathers and wells, the same as are
worn on state occasions.

with the hope of securing control Of all
the liberal elements prior to the next
general election.
Temporarily this diversion Of the OPP
position will greatly facilitate the
governments programme, the chief
item of which is a sweeping reform of
parliamentary procedure. The hope
less delay and confusion which at
present characterizes all legislative ef-
forts at Westminster have reached a
point where parliament has become
ridiculous in the eyes of the country.
In the drastic recasting of the pro-
cedure many methods employed in the
United States congress will either be
adopted or given a trial in modified
form.
The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, will doubtless
get all the additional war supplies he
requires, though special measures will
be necessary to raise them. and this
will give Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
mans section of the opposition full
opportunity for criticizing the govern
ment's policy in South Africa.
Some sanguine prophets also believe
the war will be sufficiently near its
end to enable the government to put
before the nation, during the session,
detailed plans for the settlement of
South Africa. This belief, however,
does not appear to be shared by the

The Roosevelt Party.

Whenever you want to catch a
negro just give or promise him an
office. Prof. Washington has all
the negro politicians throughout
the country bowing and taking OF
.beir hats to him. He is the polit-
zeal advisor of President Roosevelt.
So far as the negroes are concerned
and the southern democrat; every
time Prof. Washington has an IN
tsryiew with the President some
southern negrO's head drops into
the trash basket and dem
ocrat is appointed. The southern
democrats have made Prof. Wash
ington their sponsor under 4 re-
publican administration and the
negroes must accept him whether
they want to do so or not. South
ern negroes are not in the push,
and neither are the northern ne
qroes. 1t is claimed that prom
inent colored republican from New
York has the ear of the President,
but has not strength enough to
have one northern negro appointed
to a presidential office. II about
two-thirds of these negroes would
get a plow and hoe they would
make better time farming than they
would argueing q Roosevelt party
If the republican party renomI-
mates MIR. Roosevelt then the ne
groes of this country may decide
that his policy of removing south
srn negroes from office is indorsed,
and if the republican party thinks
that it will continue to use the
negro it is mistaken. From
what the President said he could
not find q decent republican to
succeed Col. Hill of Mississippi.
THE BEB begs leave to ask Col.
Hill if there are decent republicans
enough to select as delegates to the
next National Republican COnven-
tiOn in the state of Mississippi to
vote for the nomination of Mr.
RooseVelti May be that the ROoss-
Velt party in Mississippi will be
strong enough to do without the
old time republicans, like Col. Hill
MollisOn, and others. Or perhaps
Prof. Booker 7. Washington will
be able to rear enough respectable
Roosevelt negroes in his school and
send them to Mississippi before the
next Presidential election. South
ern negro republicans must bow to
Prof. Washington as we'll as the
negroes in the north. He is the Ne

IT IS surprising that a republican
measure should be introduced in
congress at this time to provide
for the maintenance Of the legal
tender silver dollar at a parity with
gold. When the single gold
standard was adopted we were told
by the republican speakers and press
that it was for the sole purpose Of
maintaining the parity OF the silver
dollar and making it as good as
gold that they adopted the single
gold standard. Why, then, is it nee
esSary to add the legal tender fca-
ture to accomplish what demone-
tization was supposed to do. The
real object Of the bill is to entirely
remove the intrinsic value of a sill
yer dollar and make it worth the
value of the government fat stamp
cd upon the metal. just as il makes
a piece of paper valuable, This is
what silver it is to come to at last
Ii that bill becomes a law.

LORD SALISBURY says that the
Beers will not be offered terms for
peace, aud the King says that the
British troops i'll South Africa are
very humain. Salisbury's remarks
should spur the Beers up to harder
and better fighting. They can
bankrupt the nation if the war
S continued. The statment of
King Edward in regard to the
troops may be true, so far as it APP
plies TO the men, but the orders of
officials herding women and child
rem in concentration camps, where
they are diving by the hundred, is
brutal in the extreme, and were it
INDUCED in by any other than a
highly civilized and christianized
nation would be called barberous.
1t makes a big difference whether
wholesale murder is committed in
the name Of civilization and christ
ianity or by lot of Chinese Boxers.
The treatment Boer women and
children are receiving in the British
concentration camps is a blot ON
civilization.
