THE LATE LORD SALISBURY.

TN THE death OF Lord Salisbury, on
Saturday last, there passed away
Il the last of the great masters of
politics who filled the stage of
England during the greater part OF the
Victorian era. He was gifted with a
sound intellect and studied the we'll be-
ing and growth of the Empire. Dsraeli
always looked out for Disraeli, and Glad
stone was more inclined to the ideal than
to the practical. In every day good sense
Salisbury was their superior He stood
steadily for peace, and tided England
safely over the crisis which the Vene-
zuela boundary dispute precipitnted. He
promptly declared England's neutrality
in our conflict with Spain, and his atti-
tude controlled largely that of the Cabi-
nets of Europe. Chamberlain precipit-
ated the Boer war, but once involved in
the struggle Salisbury stood for England
right or wrong and saw it's successful
conclusion. He believed that less legis-
lati0n and more up-to-datencsS would en-
able England to hold her own against the
world Like Bismarck, he can be dis
pensed with, but he cannot be replaced

WEST VS.. WALL STREET.

THERE seems to be little prospect
of financial legislation ut the
Il coming extra session or even
during the regular session of
Congress. The shrewdest leaders doubt
the wisdom Of tinkering at the currency
and deny the necessity Of so-caled tinan-
cial reform. Senators Quay and Hanna
see no need of and much risk in financial
agitation. Speaker-to-be Cannon takes
no stock in what he calls rubber cur
rency," and there is little likelihood of
the establishment Of practical working
basis for further financial legislation.
Congressman Overstreet, of Indiana,
says the whole theory of sound currency
rests upon its certainty and security and
the freedom of its circulation. The form
er is already assured by the laws on the
statute books, especially the gold stand
ard act OF 1900. The currency's stability
cannot be asSailed since it rests on
rOck-bOttom basis. Freedom of circua-
ton will be secured by continuance Of
public confidence and, he sees nothing in
industrial conditions to menace prosper
ity. The recent troubles in Wall Street,
he says, made no more impression in the
West than would the falling of an au-
tumn leaf.
