THE BRITISH CABINET CRISIS.

The designations of Mr.. Chamberlain,
Mr.. Richie and Lord George Hamil
| ton from the British cabinet caused
a sensation and will precipitate earn
est discussion throughout the empire.
The new fiscal policy" for Great Brit
ain proposed by Mr.. Chamberlain and
| Endorsed by Premier Iialfuur is the
question at issue. While Premier Bal
four agrees with Mr.. Chamberlain on
the main points of the new policy, he
says he is satisfied that the country
is not yet ready for the change. Mr..
Chamberlain thinks that there is no
time to be lost in making it. This diff
ference of opinion led to the resigna-
ton of the Secretary of State for the
Colonies.
The proposition is chat Great Britain
shall abandon ner policy of free trade
and adopt protection; that foodstuffs
and manufactures imported shall be
taxed but that raw materials for man
ufacturing purposes shall remain free.
In the statement which Mr.. Balfour
made a few days ago relative to the
matter he seemed to take the position
that it was for the United Kingdom
itself and not the colonies that he was
concerned. While avOwing himself still
a free trader he advocated protection
ism, not for the purpose of giving pref
erence to the colonies, but in order to
give the country a weapon of retalia-
ton or coercion by means of which to
win better trade relations. The United
Kingdom now imports about $3.50, 0O0,-
900 worth of fully manufactured goods
per year. Mr.. Balfour and Mr.. Cham
berlain think these manufactures, be-
side imported foodstuffs, ought to be
taxed.
1t was under free trade conditions
that Great Britain won her way to the
front of commercial nations. Her
ships cover the ocean and her man
ufactuTes are sold in the four quar-
tiers of the globe. She has made pro-
gress, and is still progressing. Mr..
Balfour says that, Judged by all the
available tests, both the total wealth
and the diftused well-being of the coun-
try are greater than they have been.
We are not only rich and prosperous
in appearance, but also, l believe, in
reality" And yet the rate" of British
exports does not increase as rapidly as
do the rates" of the United States and
Germany. That is the trouble; Great
Britain is not progressing in trade IS
rapidly as some of her neighbOrs. Not
content with a slow but sure growth,
it is proposed that an artificial stimulus
to trade shall be employed.
An appeal to the country will prob
ably be made on the adoption of the
new policy and an interesting CAM
paign will result. Mr.. Chamberlain de-
clares that an INSCRIPTIONS use has
been made of 1.-The old cry Of the dear
loaf, but he will be apt to hear some
more of it before the question is set
tied. A tax on foodstuffs would touch
the pocket nerve of the whole people,
and that nerve is very sensitive. Be
sides, the nation will be reluctant to
give up the system of trade under
which it has grown rich and powerful

OTHER CITIES LEARN OF
NEW PURE FOOD LAW

Baltimore and New Orleans firms have
joined the procession OF import houses
Which are learning. by direct experience
the workings Of the pure food law In
consequence of analysis by the Depart
Tuent of Agriculture experts. cargoes Of
foreign goods just imported TO the cities
named have been officially condemned
and notice to that effect forwarded to the
Treasury Department for final action
The Baltimore firm in question had i'm
ported a large amount OF olive oil.
Scientific analysis here showed the oil
adulterated with sesame, and the cargo
was condemned
At New Orleans a shipment of white
wires was held up pending examination
by the authorities here. Tests showed
the presence of sulphuric acid, causing
the disapproval OF the department to be
made known.
According 20 adviees received by the
department. 4 better view Of the new
law is now taken by the New York i'm
poiters. These firms find the officials
are enforcing the law so carefully that
no basis is left them for charging harsh
enforcement Of the law or unjust treat
n.ent. Consequently they are joining the
department In enforcing its provisions.

Steese and Canoe are both from Penn

An academy rule makes it possible for
cadets to accept dinner invitations.

Calvo is said to have obtained dinner
invitations from the son of the pro-
prietor of the Palantine Hotel at New

dined at the hotel. and had more wine
than was good for them. Their condi-

Academy that an investigation OF the

Minister Calvo withdrew his son from
the Academy. He was a foreigner and
not subject to the rules of the school.
