English Editorial Com
ment on ROsebery's
Withdrawal
FROM LIBERAL PARTY
Tories Obtain q Longer
L LeaSe--COn1ment on
Prince Henry.

London. Feb. 22.-Isrd ROsebery's
announcement of his nnal separation
from Sir Henry CampbellBanner-
mans section of the Liberal party
forms Il fruitful topic for editorial ar
ticleS and for discussion i'll all quar-
ters of Great Britain one of the
most noticeable phases is the curious
effect the letter produced on the word
ing of The Times editorial on the sub
iect Its friendlnesS TO the eX-premier
might easily be explained on the
ground of UniOnist delight at Il definite
split in the opposition ranks. Its dec
laration that what the country wants
is not Il brand new set of principles,
bI.c Il new set of men capable of re-
placing the present set without upset
ting the policy of the empire" pre-
cedeS the significant demand that Lord
ROsebery'S party must prove that 1t
can be trUsted to infuSe business EN-
ergy and capacity into the prosecution
of the imperial policy. If" The Times
continues. the fruition of efforts in
that direction may seem TO be remote,
we can only say it may come sooner
than anybody expects"
Rumors of a New Coalition.
This cryptic uUterance has started
rumorS of 4 new coalition between the
UnioniStS and Imperial-Liberals. under
the leadership OF the Duke of Devon
shire and Lord RoSebery. besides the
possible detection of The Times in its
support of the present government.
Something of this is visible i'll The
Globes editorial article. which. while
cOngratulating Lord RoSebery on his
emancipation" dilates strongly on the
pettincSS of the differences between
his policy and that of the Unionists-
Says Roaebery Has the Grit.
The Pail Mall Gazette follows other
opinion in declaring that
"a man that can write such letter as
4 reply TO Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man has the grit which the empire
expects of those who lead it." The
Westminster Gazette. hitherto divided
in its allegiance. comes out in favor Of
Sir Henry Camebpll-Bannerman but
admits that Lord Rose
bery's letter means another term of
for the UniOniStS. while
it fears Lord ROSebery's group may be
liable to absorption in that party.

COMMENT on HENRY's VISIT

ternationaI Event.
The weekly reviews make the i'm
pending arrival of Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia at New York the oc
casion of another chapter in the Span
iSh-AmcTican war controversy. The
Spectator discusses ut length the
whole story of the diplomatic eX-
changes. with Il view of controverting
what it terms the distortion of the
actual facts by the German press.
The paper diScaimS any intention of
attempting to mar the reception TO be
rendered Prince Henry, but declares
that both Englishmen and Americans
see through Germany'S game" and
refuse to be miSled by the inspired"
attempts To undermine their mutual
friendship and understanding.
"A fact which will be written down
by the historian" says The Spectator,
lis as we'll recognized today as it will
ever he. That is. that England used
her inhuence-and the Americans
know she used it-On the side of the
United States as against those who
wished to take the side of Spain. y
test of the attitude towards America
during the war displayed by England
and Germany respectively is found in
the respective attitudes of the English
and German SquadrOnS toward Adj
miral Dewey in Manila bay. The Ger
mans nearly fired on the Americans.
If they had done so. the English would
have acted on the American side
The Outlook treats the matter light
ly. 1t says that Emperor William,
now as in China. uses Prince Henry
as a bait for the German hook. Neith-
er Prince Henry nor his astute brother,
the emperor. will ever succeed in weak
ening the substantial grounds upon
which AnglO-American cooperation now
rests In the same connection The

PENS MENTIONED IN BIBLE.
Various References Made to lmpie-
ment of WRITING.

The earliest references to pens
(says Great Thoughts"D are probably
those in the Bible. and are to be found
in judges V. II. l.. Kings xxi. s, Job
xix. "A, and Isaiah viii. |. But these
chiefly refer to the iron stylus which
cut out the characters in the tablets
of limestone OF sUapstone. There is
a reference to pen and ink in the third
Epistle of John xiii. ). which was writ
ten about A. d.. 50. and as pens made
in brass and silver were used in the
Greek and Roman Empires at that
time, it is probable that a metallic
pen or reed was alluded to. In the
Far East. and perhaps in Egypt, the
camels hair pencil was substituted
for metal implements, but the quilts
of geese and crows were discovered
to be more useful thar either the reed
or brush, and were introduced, it Is

I'VE are increasing the salaries of

but We are advancing our men on their
individual merits. Some of Il men
will be advanced as much as 20 per
cent and others will not be advanced
more. than 8 per cent, but there will be
an increase all. along the line.
There have been several reasons
which have led to the determination to
increase the wages of our men. In the
first place, the cost of living has been
materially increased during the past
year. In the next place we are crowded
to death with business, both freight and
passenger. and it is no more than right
that the workers should share in the
profits of this increased business"
