The civil service commission is being confronted with the greatest difficulty in securing efficient men for govern ment work in the Philippines. There IS an abundance of material for the or. dinary clerical positions, but the men who possess technical knowledge which fits them to occupy many of the posi- lions which the government has to offer are either scarce or they are So we'll paid in this country that even the high salaries which the Philippine commission is empowered to offer does not attract them. The commission has prepared circular letter setting forth abundant information in regard to the vacancies in the Philippines and sends out copies on request.

threatening and bullying Mir Bailey s attitude may have been, and Mr Bev- eridge takes the position that the whole affair was too trivial to be further dis cussed. 'We hope says m exchange. that this position upon his part was dictated by his sense Of justice as well as of generosity toward his colleague. for the affair as at tlrst reported in most of the newspapers was even more disgraceful than the recent Tillman- McLaurin affair. Tn that the victim of the assault had offended by giving the lie to his assailant, but in the present case the language of Senator Beveridge had been not only parliamentary but temperate. It is a disgrace to the sen ate when even unparliamentary Ian ugage is followed by assault, and if would put an end to parliamentary in stitutions if language such as Senator Beveridge used could be thus resented, The character of the press reports at first published is occasion for universal regret that no one of the senators pres ent dignified the affair with an author ized statement as to just what had hap pened''

Waterbury's branch of the Economic league got good start yesterday and from the present outlook there is q bright future in store for the organi- zation. The officers are all we'll known and capable men and will pilot the league safely The platform of the lea que is worth reading and considering. At various times for few years past the Democrat has expressed it's opinion on the various blanks of the platform adopted yesterday. There are a lot of good things about it, and the league is sure to make friends for the stand it has taken in these matters.

Many of the officers in the navy de partment are. much wrought up over the activity of Secretary Moody looking to the reduction of the number of off1- cers assigned to shore duty. The sec retary has issued q circular-letter, which will be addressed to all the off cers. so assigned, asking for their rec ords and asking further if their pres ent duties cannot be performed by some other officer stationed at the same point, or by 3, civilian. The secretary is convinced that the efficiency of the ser vice can be greatly promoted by send. ing more officers to sea, in fact the commissioning of new naval vessels will make an increased number of off cers on sea duty imperative.

The resignation of Lord Salisbury
 from the post of prime minister of
 England comes rather as a surprise at
 this time, although it has been known
 that he wanted to drop the cares of tie
 position ever since the queens death:
 Salisbury has been a long time in the
 harness. being over 70 years of age,
 many of those years being spent in ac-
 tive political and other work. After q
 consultation with Joseph Chamberlain
 and members of the cabinet it was given out that Arthur James BaifoEf
 would succeed Salisbury. Balfour is a nephew of the late prime minister, so that people need not look for much change in the affairs of state in Eng land. Discussing the resignation, I. P. O'Connor says: Lord Salisbury $ health has been poor, especially since
 the death of his wife. His extreme obesity is, of course, inconsistent with activity. either of mind or body, and there were whispers that sometimes ne was overcome by sleep in the midst of
 momentous cabinet councils and that
 he only awoke when the discordant
 voices of Joseph Chamberlain and Sir
 Michael Hicks Beach, the two chief op- ponents in the cabinet, reached an uni versal1y high pitch. Once or twice, too, lately in the house of lords he has
 shown a certain want of grip that was
 almost painful. For instance, when
 the terms of peace in South Africa lfad to be announced he calmly asked the house of lords whether they desired to i hear the words of Lord Kitchener's
 dispatch, as though the communication
 was really of little or no importance.

In view of the generally accredited announcement that MT. Littlefield. who is the successor of the late Nelson Dlngley in congress and comparative ly young member of the national legi
 lature, has been chosen to draft tA
 proposed antitrust law, synopsis of Il bill introduced by him during the early hours of the ifty-seventh congress is of interest. MT Littlefeld's bill known as H. K. No B. was referred to the Judiciary committee, but received, so far as known, no further consideration. It is said to have been framed after T consultation with the president and to have met with his approval. Briefly put, it declares that the formation of trust with view to restraining trade shall be deemed a crime punishable by a fine of not less than $500 and not more than $5,000, and by Imprisonment for not less than six months and not more than two years. It provides that every person who shall attempt to monopoliZe or combine or conspire with others to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce within the several states, or with foreign nations, shall be liable to the penalties above stated, and that any railroad or transportation com- pany which shall transport goods for any trust, as defined i'll the act, shall be liable to the fines above stated, and any officer or agent acting for sucl. transportation company shall be liable to both penalties above stated. It fur ther provides that any person who be- lieves his business to have been in jured by trust may bring suit under the act and that no person or combina. ton shall be exempt from producing their books and papers on demand of the court. Whether the law which Mir Littlefield will draft this summer will be similar to the above is not known, but it is presumable that the law out lined fairly represents his views.

 Connection With Coronation. No


 New Premier Very Popular.
 LONDON, July 1.-The Marquis of Salisbury has resigned the premiership of Great Britain, and Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, the first lord of the treasury and government leader in the house or commons, has been appointed to sue ceed him.
 The prime minister laid down the re- sponsibility of his renowned office July Il and received the commendation of his sovereign k He was able to dis charge the weighty, exacting duties of the position through periods amounting to national crises.
 As to Lord Saiisbury's withdrawal, the main reason is considered by prac- tically all the best informed persons to have been simply desire for quiet life on the part of man advanced in years whose activities have been un- usual and whose scientific tastes pre- dispose him to study and seclusion. That the retiring premiers health has failed to some extent is undeniable. bat this is not more than perhaps is to be expected in a man of his years, and the close of the war in South Afri- ca and the return of the commanding general from there is considered to be an appropriate time for his withdrawal The retirement of this last great statesman of the Victorian age is uni yersally regarded as the transition from one generation to another and as mark ing the close of an era in the national life.
 Although Lord Salisbury's resigna- ton does not necessarily involve the reconstruction of the cabinet, it is be- -lieyed the occasion will be taken to

Democrats are Confident.

A dispatch from Washington, dated the
18th instant, says; Work of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee is al
most ended. The committee has stopped
the dissemination of campaign literature,
although large number of political car
toons bearing upon the trust issue is being
sent to different parts OF the country, to-
gether with series of personal letters from
Chairman James M. Griggs to the State and
county chairmeu appealing to them to work
up to the last moment. They are especially
being pleaded with to got out u full vote.
The Democrats at headquarters consider
that feeling which has been termed "apa-
thy" as existing throughout the country is
of great Importance. They assert that 1t is
evident the Republicans are not calculating
on full voting strength. On the other
hand, however, they believe that the iull
strength OF the Democratic party will be
found at the polls, and as consequence the
Democrats will be able to make gains.
Chairman Griggs is in New York, but will
return to Washington To morrow. In tee
gram to headquarters to day he described
the situation in New York city and State
as encouraging, and says that he feels the
party will make great gains in the Congress.

In Memoriam.

Died, in the early morning OF October 18th,
at the home OF G. w. White, George W

Hutchinson, aged years, 8 months and II
days.
There at the birth of another day one
young life was taken from his loving pa.
rents, but then another life was added TO the
angels in Heaven, and what is our loss is
his eternal gain. The dreadful disease, acute
telanus, was the cause OF death, and not
outstanding skilliul treatment by physi-
clans and watchiul care OF nurses the Father

first of the band of students taught by Mrs.
Clara V. Mace to die. She, with Mrs. Nellie
Farquhar, assisted 80 much by alleviating his
suffering and so faithfully stood by hun IN
til the end came.
His remains were buried ut Salem Gene
terry, Brookeville, on Sunday, the 18th inst.
Most of his palbearers were his fellow
students.
In rejecting upon the sad sight the lines
which give so much comfort and Joy are
fresh in the memory;

Ia tender loving tones he bids as come
Away from earth, away from weary care
To better, higher lie, TO scenes more ialr."
