JOSEPH REITERATES.
Mr.. Chamberlain Gives Exposition of
His POLICY.

LONDON, Oct. 1. - Mr.. Chamber
lain contributes to the Telegraph
letter which is intended to serve as a
preface to the republication in book
form of a series of articles which has
appeared in the Telegraph on the fiscal
problem. The letter, however, is prac-
tcally complete exposition Of his
proposed policy.
After disclaiming the credit ascribed
to him In some quarters for the author
ship of the articles in the Telegraph.
Which, he says, constitute a conclusive
Indictment of the present one-sided
system of free imports, Mr.. Chamber
lain proceeds:
at is not well with British trade.
After long period Of success the
policy OF unrestricted free imports
has not shown evident signs of fall
ure. Our exports are stationary in
amount and declining in~character. We
receive from our competitors a larger
proportion of manufactured goods than
we used to. Our supremacy in What
have always been considered our
standard industries has been wrested
from us or is seriously menaced. One
by one our markets, once profitable
and expanding, are closed to US by
hostile tariffs.
1--WE have lost all power or bargain
ing successfully for the removal or re-
duction Of these barriers to our trade.
Our colonies alone continue to increase
their purchases and even here we must
abandon all hope of expansion and we
are threatened with the loss of our
existing trade if we are unable to meet
their requests for reciprocal preference.
ITO sum up. any duty imposed to Sc
cure preferential trade with our colo
MES will be small one. 1t may prob
ably be wholly paid and viii certainly
be partly paid by the foreigner. The
additional cost, if any, TO the working
classes will be fully met by an equiva-
lent reductions n other articles of food
equally necessary to their existence.
The dear food cry is an imposture and
the little loaf a bugbear. The question
of tariff reform may be considered on
it's merits without any fear that the
cost of living will be increased to the
poor. On the other hand our tariffs
may be revised so as to secure the
following advantage:
'First-An increase of trade with our
fellow subjects and best customers,
who not only take much more per head
from us than foreigners, but take it In
the shape Of manufactured products
whose production involves the employ
nent Of the greatest amount of labor
'Second-The power OF bargaining
with our councillors ard thereby

FINANCE OR RLuEE2

There are two ways of looking at the
proposition made by the United States
Steel corporation to purchase the pre-
ferred stock held by it's officers and
employees. 1t may be a wise attempt
on the part of the great concern, with
ample means at its command and as
surances for the future, to take advan-
tage OF the present phenomenally low
market and buy back its own securi-
ties at bargain counter prices. Or it
may be merely shrewd move to influ-
ence the. market and check the fall of
prices from which the steel trust has
been the greatest sufferer. It's officers
know how much Of its preferred stock
is held by it's own members and en-
ployes and how much cash would be
needed to redeem the whole.
Since the men who make the offer
are, to some extent at least, holders Of
the paper that will be redeemed, they
to pull themselves out Of a hole at the
possible expense of holders of other Sc
curities than preferred stock. In either
case the offer will probably be ac-
cepted by a considerable portion of the
stockholders, but it will not affect the
very large number Of people who pur-
chased the common stock of the steel
company and have seen it tumble to
quotations lower than any that were
ever dreamed possible.
There Is a profound distrust Of the
future of the steel trust which nothing
seems able to overcome. We have
seen the extraordinary phenomenon of
a declaration of dividends followed i'm
mediately by sharp decline in the
stocks Of the company paying them It
is not probable that conviction which,
whether. correct or not, is so deeply
seated, will be overthrown by the pres
ent proffer Of the steel concern. There
is general belief that it will need to
reduce the sum total Of it's obligations
materially before they can return to
anything like their face value. If a.
large quantity of the preferred stock
should be turned in under this promo
sition, paid for and retired, it would
do more than anything else to restore
the steel company's securities to the
position that they formerly held.

securing either that thew shall take
more NOR. or the products of our labor in re-
t tSrIi Ior the products of their labor or
tnat they shall leave the British market
more completely to British labor.
InIro-ln either case, this change
ana the increased trade with our colo
our own people and a greater demand
for our own labor.
"Fourth-If the demand for labor in
creases, the wages of labor must rise
also. and full work at fair prices will
enable our manufacturers to pay higher
wages without loss to themselves.
Lastly. we shall have made a great
advance toward the union of the en-
pre- and have taken the first step to-
world" u 'ii0

shown all the time. He has done much
to prove the efficacy of practical poll
tics. And now that he has taken to
farming, it will be worth while for
many of his contemporaries in the po-
litical business to consider the merits
of the bucolic life as a means to Sc
curing the ends of the politician.
Mr.. Lorimer will be in rather good
company in his side line Of farming.
Many lights that have been permitted
to shine on the unruly convention mob
are Illuminating rural parts now. A
couple of millionaires in Wisconsin,
the United States senate, are chasing
pillow horses in the back counties.
Tom Plat, of New York, has lately
been indulging in wonderful rhapsodies
over the scent of the new turned sod
and the chances are that Tom has an
idea that the freshly turned earth
smells of tar. Billy Mason has per-
mitted himself to be seen moving the
lawn frequently during the past sum-
mer and he evidently proposes to be
able to prove an alibi when they
charge him with the heinous offense
of living in town.
This disposition on the part of the
great ones to take to the grass coun-
try is going to make trouble for some
of them eventually. The time is COM
ing when we may expect to see ex-
Congressman Eddy sitting about the
corridor of the Windsor with his trusty
pillow strapped on his back, and it will
be common occurrence for Joel Heat
wole to drive into town on a hayrake.
Then we will begin to suspect the
single mindedness of the Hon. w. E.
Lorimer, Of Cook county.

BILLY LoRIMER. FARMER.

William E. Lorimer. political boss
of considerable section OF Illinois, is
going in for farming. Being up to date
in his methods, it is to be expected
that Mr.. I-orirner will have an auto
mobile follow him when he is blowing

he hears his country's call.
For Bill Lori1ner is by no means a

PERSISTENT LAWBREAkERs.

1t seems strange to the average man
that there should be so much difficulty
in enforcing the game laws of the state
and such persistent attempts to vio-
late them. The joy that the true hunt
er feels in the pursuit and capture
of his quarry does not depend at all
upon the amount of slaughter. The
man of real sportsmanlike spirit is
happier when he has shot his deer, fill
ed his modest game bag with birds or
taken a fine string of fish than he
would be if he could load a car with
the slain. The pot hunter, on the other
from the pursuit of the disgraceful
business. The market for game is not
so extensive as to offer inordinate
profits. Aside from the inhumanity of it,
its illegality and the atmosphere of
disgrace that surrounds it in the eyes
Of all true men, the profits accruing
from violation Of game laws do not
seem to be sufficient to tempt men.
Yet constant vigilance is necessary
to keep the game of the state from be-
ing exterminated, and only lately 1000
pounds Of ducks were seized in the
southern part of this state just before
they had reached the Iowa line. AS
long as the lawbreakers are as active
as this would indicate, public authori-
ties cannot afford to relax for an in
slant their vigilance. Congratulations
are due to them for the vast improve
ment that they have already wrought,
and We hope that they will be as ac-
tive and as successful as they are now
until the slaughter of game for COM
mercial purposes shall become unprof-
liable and unattractive and the genus
known as pot hunter be happily extin-
guished.

WITH WARLIKE TINGE.
Japan viii Send Two Regiments of In
fantrY to Korea

PARIS. Oct ACCORDING to reliable
information received here Japan has
decided to send two regiments of in
fantry to Korea. This is regarded in
authoritative quarters as being a most
important step as affecting Russo-Jap-
anese relations and as likely to accent
uate the possibilities of a war crisis.
Japan's decision is considered to be d.
rectly related to Russia's proposition
to evacuate Manchuria Oct. g. 1t is
now accepted in the highest quarters
that this evacuation is impossible OF
accomplishment as China has not sign
ed the terms on which Russia condi-
toned her evacuation.
The advices received show that China
inclines to continue the present Rus
sian status In Manchuria rather than
commit herself to finally signing the
proposed agreement. In view of these
conditions Japan's decision to send
troops to Korea is regarded as being a
most significant step.

under the most plausible pretexts, and
we will suffer both national and indi-
vidual decay.
If cause be good, it will make its
own Roadway and achieve it's own tri
umph by its own merits. Because its
works have been beneficent the or
ganization of labor has reached its
present stage of development. For its
advance beyond that it must depend,
likewise, upon its inherent value to
both parties to the industrial contract.
This is the final word by which the re-
lations of capital and labor must be
determined and their future made Sc
cure.

Mgr Guidi, the Roman prelate sent

The general opinion is that Mgr.
Guidi's mission has failed principally
because he would not accept the price
offered for the friars' lands by the
American government, owing to the
claims Of the religious orders interested
that they are entitled to a larger sum.

stupidity allowed this condition, and
seems to be unable to act with energy
and promptness to save the situation.
Inc Indian seems to have been clothed
with the legal power to work his own
ruin, and. it having been taken for
granted that the-poors barbarian would
nave intelligence enough to abstain
from such folly, he is left without pro-

pie is a poem in pastry. 1t has an in
dlVlduallty which no other pie pos
sesses. All pies with a top crust look
alike, and 1t often requires consider
albe effort to know what they are made
OF, even when you taste them. But
pumpkin pie stands for just what it is,
and it is the most fascinating coquette
that ever took up its post in a bakers

CIVIL SERVICE AND THE GRAFT.
ERS

Mayor Harrison, of Chicago says he
cannot get the grafters out of the city
departments because they are protect
ed by civil service rules and cannot be
discharged. Any rule of political or
civic procedure that makes for the
protection of corruptionists should be
abolished at once, but nobody cares to
go to the limit of proposing the abolish
ment Of civil service. Much good has
come of the application Of civil service
rules in the appointment Of public serv-
ants. 1t is probably true, as Mayor
Harrison says, that the rules that are
applied in the selection of public serv-
ants must operate to protect them If
they become grafters and the rules
must therefore be amended.
The mayor of Chicago points out that
in every department Of the city gov
eminent grafters are working. He is
supported in the statement by the tes-
timony of the heads of departments
Il don't care who hires the people,
but the administration that is respon-
sible for the conduct OF the city should
have the right to fire them" says Mr..
Harrison.
IF you give the politicians in Office
the right to discharge civil service en-
ployes you might as we'll abolish the
commission" says the chief of the civil
service board. Let the authorities
make charges against these men and
We will get them out" *
But Harrison points out the fact
| and 1t is a fact-that 1t is not easy
to get evidence against the grafters.
They do business" directly with the
men whom they bleed. The bribers
cannot be expected to give evidence that
would incriminate themselves and the
blackmailers are almost absolutely pro-
tected. Their immediate chiefs are
aware Of what is going on but they
cannot ''get the goods on them," as
one official remarks. And it Is quite
certain that the men who are smart
enough to graft and protect themselves
in the practice are also clever enough
to so conduct themselves with regard
to the work required of them that they
cannot be accused of inconvenience or
neglect of duty.
There must be some middle way
found. We cannot afford to go back
from civil service where it has been
established in the administration Of
municipal affairs. But we must insist
on holding the men elected to Office re-
sponsible for the conduct Of their Of
fees
The opportunity presents itself in
Chicago for trying a compromise. Let
the offices be filled by the civil service
commission, but give the mayor and
elective officers the right to discharge
any man for cause. The abuse of this
right is not much to be feared, for no
official would dare to discharge an hon.
est and capable public servant while
that servant had the right of appeal
The department chief is primarily re-
sponsible for the conduct of his de-
partment and any rule that handicaps
his freedom of movement in the inter-
est of decency, honesty or competency
on the part Of his assistants should be
eithed disregarded or revoked.
