BANQUET TO CHAMBERLAIN.
Speech at n Farewell Demonstration
I'm the Secretary Honor.

LONDON, Nov. 17.-Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain received an ovation tonight
at Birmingham, where a farewell ban
quet on the occasion of his departure for
South Africa was given in his honor. Mem
bers Of all parties joined in the demonstra-
ton, as the affair was of a nonpolitical
character. Mr.. Chamberlain was accom-
panied by his wife and his son, Austen
Chamberlain.
Responding to a tremendously enthusiasts
tic welcome, the colonial secretary paid an
affecting tribute to his American wife, who,
he declared. had sustained him by her cour-
age and cheered him by her sympathy. He
found in her his best and truest counsel
or"
read in the newspapers that he was the
most hated man of his time, but he had
read a similar opinion expressed about
Wellington, Peat, Palmerston and Glad
stone. Those who, like himself, and like a
very great man., President Roosevelt, be-
lieved in a strenuous life, and In fighting
as well as one knew how for the faith that
was in one, must be prepared to provoke
a~ntagonisms, but these passed away, and
he could truly say that during what might
be called perhaps a fighting career he had
never cherished personal animosity to any
man., and he had always known how to
separate public policy from a private char
acter.
Referring to his approaching trip, he
said it was to be a matter of business and
not a mere parade. He would not expect
that all the bitterness in South Africa
would die out. but he could say this for
the government, that all suffering would
be relieved. He was bound on a new ven
ture and there was a possibility of failure.
The governments desire was to make South
Africa one united nation, united in heart
as well as in name. Greater differences,
he said, had been healed and he mentioned
Canada as an instance in this connection.
High Commissioner Miner still retained
the confidence of the government. Mr..
Chamberlain said he hoped to see the rep
resentatives of every political section in
South Africa. He then could learn more
in thre days than in a months study of
dispatches in the blue books. He believed
that he would be met half way and that
he would gain the friendship of the Kings
now Boer subjects. He took an optimist's
look regarding the future of South Africa.
On the conclusion of Mr.. Chamberlain's
speech there was q torchlight procession
and a display of fireworks. The streets
were packed with thousands of persons,
who at one point broke through the bar
rier erected to keep the crowd back. This
incident created some excitement and re-
suited in slight injuries to a few persons.

THE SOLID WEST.
How 1t Strikes a Newspaper In the
Solid South.

SOI1O SOutns
Memphis Commercial Appeal Dem)
Whatever may be the cause of il. there
can be no doubt that the solidifcation of
the last six years. Not one of the seven
teen Western States has gone Democratic
this year, and thus is the last yestige of
Democratic influence wiped out of the
West.
1t matters not whether this result Is due
to MIR. Bryan and Organism, or whether IL
Is due to So ne other cause. He may not
have produced il; but II is evident at least
that he was powerless to avert Ii. The
fact is, however, that the West is now solid
for the Republican party. We believe that
every one OF the seventeen States OF that
section now has a Republican Governor ex-
cept Montana. and only ten or eleven DEM
ocratic congressman have been selected
from that section.
The solid South has elected thirteen Re-
publican congressman, and has one Repub-
five Democrats TO Congress as against
twenty-five Republicans: but there is some
excuse for New England remaining loyal
to the party that has protected her infant
industries for many years. The Democratic
party may as well confront the fact that
there is a solid West as well as a solid New
England against it. II has but little TO
hope from either section. Connecticut has
been known TO go Democratic and so has
Massachusetts. But IL the party is to win
in the future Its field OF labor must en-
brace the States Of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
The solid West Is a hard problem TO solve.
Southern people find the solid South an
incubus and most persons except the poll
ticians would like a Investigation OF po-
litical results. The negro question is grad
ually solving itself, and when that result
has been reached IL will not be undesirable
tina political contests should be closer, and
that the dominant party should be forced
to remain on its good behavior or take the
consequences.

They Are Merely Guesswork ON the
Part OF Correspondents.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Some of the newspapers of the country
have begun the publication of articles pur-
porting TO give a synopsis of the forth
coming message of the President TO Cons
gress. OF course, these predictions are
pure guesswork. Nothing reliable can at
this time be said about what the President
proposes TO say TO Congress I'm his message
to that body. A distinguished Republican
senator who is in the confidence OF the
President, and one OF his close advisers,
in speaking of this matter to-day said to
the Eagle correspondent:
"a man who on the 18th Of November
can predict what the President will say 20
Congress on the LIST OF December must be
gifted with second sight. 1t is absolutely
impossible at this time TO give any relia-
bic synopsis of the Presidents message.
1t is also unfair to him to attempt 10 do
so. know that a year ago President
Roosevelt made nearly a score of changes
in his message after the rough draft came
to him Sentences which might have been
subject to interpretations different from
what he intended. The rough draft of his
message will this year probably undergo
the same revision and correction.
In a general way IL is, of course, easy

to say that the Presidents views on the

during his brief tour late I'm the summer.
He Will naturally take more care I'm the
preparation and wording OF a state paper
than he would in writing a speech to be
delivered from a platform or the rear end
or a car, but / anticipate that the Presi-
dents views are about the same now as
they were then and that his message will
indicate this.
1T seems to me that the people OF the
country and many OF our business men are
working themselves into a state of unneces-
sary excitement In regard TO the Presidents
attitude on the trusts and the tariff. Those

THE AREA.
Strike Tactics and Strike Ethics I'm
the Public Schools.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
While a commission is diligently investi-
eating the causes which led TO the great
anthracite strike, which has stopped with
out being settled, there are other agencies
at work which seem calculated to make
strikes more common in future and TO in
troduce them where they have never pre-
vailed before.
The other day a strike of school children
was reported from Chicago, caused by the
removal of a favorite teacher. Strikes
among pupils have occurred before, but
are seldom of long continuance. But from
the same city of Chicago come reports that
the School Teachers Confederation, with
1850 members, desires TO join the Fedora
ton of Labor. BY way of explanation Of
this it is said that there are 1000 union
men in Chicago, and that the teachers, who
have some grievances. or think they have,
would be greatly strengthened in their fight
for their rights by having back of them
so many citizens and voters. The teachers
themselves are largely women, without
votes, but with the backing of a fedora
ton of voters they would be able to COM
pei a hearing.
That is all very well so far as that
side of the case is concerned. But with
the teachers organized as fully as the
workingmen in other kinds of employment,
Wndt nave we 10 eXpect Dut tnat a general
strike of teachers may be ordered at any
timer? There has long been known a type
Of teacher addicted to striking, but his
strikes (or strokes) were of a different
character. There were once many COM
munities where a teacher who was not a
striker in this sense could not hold a place,
though there has been a great change of
sentiment and of practice in that particular.
But Ii would be a new spectacle to see 1850
teachers OF a strike for higher wages, or
shorter hours, or some other project de-
sired. 1t is quite likely, however. that such
a strike would meet with the hearty APP
prevail of the mass of the pupils, but in
that case a sympathetic strike would not
be necessary, unless there was an attempt
to run the schools with 'scab' teachers.
The fact that these teachers, or most of
them, are in the employ of the State or city
does not necessarily make any difference.
We recently made mention of a strike
among the state railroad employees in Aus
tralia, and there is no reason why public
school teachers should not nave as many
rights as the employees of state railroads.
If the time comes, as it may soon, when
teachers shall frequently go out on strikes,
1t may be expected that the pupils will de-
mand and exercise similar privileges
Teaching the young idea how to shoot i'm
plies teaching Ii how to strike. Example
is more powerful than precept, and If the
teachers strike, so will the pupils. Thus In
time the ethics and tactics Of strikes may
form a part Of the regular scholastic cur
riculum, and the schools will annually turr
out thousands fully equipped for going or
a strike at a moments notice.
