Late PRIME Minister Lived IN : worid
Apart from 0thars.


. Late Prime Minister Lived n 4 verb
Apart from Others.
Whatever may be the cause, say
the Review Of Reviews, there Is no
mistaking the fact that Mr.. Balfours
succession to the premiership has &C.
casioned less stir than many political
incidents Of much less importance
Mr.. Gladstone lived ever in the pub
lie eye. Week days'and Sundays he
was always doing and saying some
thing which afforded material toI
newspaper comment. The public
took the keenest interest in his books,
his porcelain, in his cutting down
trees at Hawarden, IN his readingthe
services in the parish church. He Eas
a performer always in the glare ofthe
foothghts, whether in Office or out Of
It. Lord Salisbury lived in compare
tive seclusion. If he did not direct
the affairs Of a worldwide empire
from a hermitage, he governedit from
Hatfield, and often for weeks he
would never leave his retreat, even for
the purpose Of meeting the diplo-
matte Representatives Of other powers
ct the foreign Office.
The Cecils are a world unto them
selves and if Lord Salisburymay not
be exactly be said to be one Of those
world forgetting mortais by the world
forgot, he lived and lives apart. OF
late years his memory has failed him,
not for facts so much as for faces,
and all manner Of odd stories are cur
rent as to the mistakes which hemade
owing to his inability to distinguish
between individuals.
On one occasion a worthy wine
merchant, who was invited to spenda
week end in a family party at Hat
field, is said to have been mistaken
by the late prime minister for Lord
Roberts. The delusion was so COM
plete that, after opening the CONVEX
sation at the dinner table. he carried
his astonished guest off into the
library and insisted upon learning
from his uninstructed lips exactly
what he thought Of the campaign in
Africa. ''Tell me, so the story goes,
"tell me- he said to the hattered
but bewilderedlwine merchant, what
you really think Of the war in South
Africa. VIII Lord Kitchener make
as great a mess Of it as all our other
generals?"
The goodman rose to the situation,
and was rewarded by being ~anxiously
by the prime minister what he
would do if he were in South Africa
at that moment. It was not until the
following day that the guest was
aware Of the reason for the strange
solicitude which the prime minister
had shown for his opinion upon mil
itary tactics.
On another occasion he is said to
have asked who that remarkably in
telligent young man was with whom
he had just been t~ransacting business.
at is one Of your private secretaries
was the reply. When a man forgets
the face Of a private secretary and
confounds wine merchants with com
manders-in-chief it is not surprising
that he should find the time had come
for his departure.

THE VENEZUELAN TROUBLE.

The Kansas City Journal OF the
Is inst. contained a very SAGE and
thoughtful editorial upon the piinci-
pies involved 10 the Venezuela diff
Guilty. There are Two considerations,
however, which The Journal failed 10
take into account. Whether these
considerations are weighty enough to
70 change the Judgment from one side
Of he case to the other Is another
matter. depending largely upon the
Individuals mental attitude toward
several general propositions.
In the first place, all Of the claims
both OF Germany and England have
arisen since Venezuela and every other
South American State made public
announcement OF adherance to the
Calvo doctrine. It matters very lit
tle whether the Calvo doctrine is
thought to be just or Unjust. 1t had
been announced 10 advance Of the
operations upon which the claims are
based. Many interesting parallels
might be drawn illustrative Of the
same NOyai question. The CalyO doc
trine is a no more serious trespass
upon the law OF nations than our
homestead regulations upon the law
Of contracts. II tine German bankers
did not like the Calyo doctrine they
DID not have to purchase the bonds
And as far the claims Of the German
citizens who are actually resident 10
Venezeull, it would seem wrong to
enforce by arms the application Of the
law Of nations 10 a particular 10 which
that law had been previously disa-
vowed by the Latin republic. These
matters relate to the rights Of prop
erty; but we once had a contention
and a war with a European nation
involving the anne moral principe in
relation to the rights OF persons.
England insisted on applying her nat
~uralization laws to Englishmen res
ident in this country. She insisted
that "once an EngIishman always an
Englishmdn.n We insisted that II she
did not want US to natulalize them,
she ought to keep them at home.
All Of England's claims against
Venezuela and a large part Of Ger
manys claims are on account Of
private investment losses incident 10
recent revolutions in the South
American republic. just why the In
yestments OF foreigners should be
exempt from the incidents OF revolu-
tion, fire, flood, or earthquake any
more than those OF citizens is not
clear, unless we accept the COM
Portable doctrine, now popular 10 this
country as in the imperIalistic mon
arches Of Europe, that, whenever we
find a government which does not
conduct itself as we think it should,
IL Is u moral duty to take it 10 and
teach II u ways-fora consideration.

The Crown Princess of SaxOny, a
mother of live children. has run away
from her home, family, and the sue
cession on the ground that her hus-
band is a "drunken, immoral beast. y
The prince replies with the charge
that she has run away to join her
French master with whom her rela-
tIons have hitherto been scandalous.
And this all suggests that II the
social and political systems OF Europe
with its feudal orders and its state
church were b own TO atoms with
dynamite tomorrow and society re-
constructed upon a modern basis, the
world would be better off. There is
not now and there never has been any

complete than now.

something to treasure in memory. No
other band has so distinguished "A corps
Of soloists. 4
The Banda Rosa was founded TWEEN
ty years ago by the citizens of San
Severe, small city in south central
Italy. In 1889. Sorrentino, who had
just been graduated with highest hon.
ors from the Conservatory of Naples.
was called to the conductorship. Sor-
rentino's genius soon made itself felt,
and in 1892 the Society for the promo
ton of Music, which had founded the
band, decided that it should enter the
contest at the GerOa exposition. The
city had it's reward when Sorrentino
and the Banda Rosa won the gold
medal over sixty-four contestants
When the band returned to San
Severe, the city took a day off to cell
ebrate the victory. The feature of the
jubilee was the presentation of a medal
to SOrrentino by the city officials and
prominent citizens. From Italy the
band went to Germany, where it was
tremendously successful. While In
Berlin, Sorrentino received a decoration
from the kaiser.
Eugenio Sorrentino was born in Cal
abria, Italy. He has superlative ability
both as a leader and composer. Most
of the members of his band are grad
yates of Italian Conservatives and
many of them have been with him for
more than ten years.
