1T is doubtful in any case, whether

They use him, but they don't like him
There is a certain section Of young tories
who don't love Balfour, thinking his slack.
decadent and lethargic, but he is still the
darling Of the straight conservatives and
his appointment would be even more popu-
lar with his political opponents than with
his political friends Despite his many
faults, Mr.. Balfour remains the most popu-
lar figure In the house of commons, and
his very faults help him in this respect.
II he be indolent, he Is also courteous, toll
Grant and broadminded, and he will not
insult other nations as Mr. Chamberlain
has done. His tongue is well under re-
straint and he has all the instincts Of
gentleman.
Il regard the change as beneficial TO
Ireland In the long run. Mr.. Balfour has
had much experience with Ireland and
though he is mot vet home ruler all his
old luminosity has disappeared and he is
just the man to propose a solution of the
! long.standing difficulty. But Mr.. Bafour

arouses tremendous religious passion on
both sides and 1t is doubtful IL he will he

TERRIBLE DROUGHT.
Years Of Dry Weather-Losses
In Stock of $75,OOO,OOO.
come.

London, May 27.-Cabling from Sgd
ney, N. S. W., the correspondent there
of the Daily Mail gives an account of
the terrible drought from which, as a
climax to seven dry years, Australia is
now suffering. The correspondent
says that the losses in stock in Aus
tralia since 1899 amount to e 15,0OO,-
900 ($75, 0OO,OOO). Unemployed men
are drifting into the cities by the thou
sands, and there the state govern
ments are providing them with relief.
The only districts that have escaped
the drought are the northern rivers
district of New South Wales and parts
of the Riverna district.
The sheep are dying by the million.
continues the correspondent, and even
the rabbits are starving. Animals
have stripped the bark from the trees
for food. A common method of treat
ing exhausted horses is to slit the ami
mails palate with knife; the horse
is revived by swallowing his own
blood. Numbers of "sundowners" and
"swagmen" have been found dead by
the waysides. The governments are
doing everything possible to alleviate
these conditions, but meteorologists
despair of an early change in the
weather conditions.
