ing To choose between two evils h
would support the budget bill.
Referring to the suggested preferen'
tial- tariff, the former chancellor of the
exchequer wished to know whether Mr.
Chamberlain's opinion was that of the
United States cabinet. h repeal OF
the grain duty appeared to the speaker
to be q direct bar to h adoption OF
preference principles. He therefore con
Guided that the opinion of the cabinet
as a whole was the same with regard
to these principles as when he was a
member of it.
Mr.. Richie, who made a general re-
ply, read a carefully prepared state
ment.The government, he said, thought
there should be an inquiry into the mat
ter OF preferential tariffs but he would
be surprised if the inquiry showed any
practical means of carrying out a policy
Of preferential duties. He avowed him
self to be an out and out free trader,
and added tint with his present knowl-
edge he could not be a party to a policy
which he believed would be detrimental
TO the interests of both Great Britain
and her colonies, and he believed that
the inquiry, from which he would not
shrink, would confirm his present views.
Although he was precluded by the
speakers ruling from discussing prefer
entail tariffs he might say in behalf of
himself and his colleagues what he and
they thought. The members OF the
government who had spoken on the
subject had spoken for themselves and
not for the government. All that had
thus far been suggested was that the
matter hould be discussed and inquir-
ed into.
Mr.. Richie said he thought in COM
mon with all his colleagues, that such
an inquiry was eminently desirable
from every point Of view and conclud-
ed with saying that the grain duty was
properly imposed at a time of great ma
tional emergency and had peer properly
removed when the prospects were
brighter.
He denied that there had been any
inconsistency, and while he regretted
that the government had wounded the
feelings of some OF its supporters, he
believed its action would be endorsed
by the country.
Mr.. Ritchie's outspoken Reputation
of Mr.. Champerlain's proposals caused
an immense sensation in the Hobbies of
the House. No such situation had risen
in the parliamentary world since the
split on the home rule bill and the keen
est interest was manifested in regard
TO the possible developments.

names Ex-Governor Thos. J. Jarvis as
his successor. in the event the resigna-

says:
"~EE-GoVernor Jarvis is North Caro-

The Reflector also publishes an in
teresting interview on the subject with
John z. Morris, IN which Mr.. Morris
in part says:
Should the present scholarly and ef-
fcient president resign, his successor
should be a nan whose name IS master
ful over the strong men and women who

be a North C~arolinian and indeed, one
whose life, Is does the life of Jarvis.
