The three weeks cabinet crisis has
and dramatic than that of it's inception.
Mr.. Balfours new ministry affords an
indication of the enormous difficulty
he has had to contend with in the
task of reconstruction, and it's COM
position seems to indicate that the
premier himself can have little belief
of it's durability. The most sanguine
supporters of the government express
the smallest hopes of such an admin
istration living many months and the
prevalent idea is that there will be
a general election before parliament
reassembles. The withdrawal of the
Duke of Devonshire, announced to-
day, is heavy blow. Had he re-
manned the government possibly
might have survived another parlia-
mentary session by avoiding legisla-
ton dealing with the fiscal problem,
but with him goes the support of the
strong party of liberal unionists in the
country.
Balfour Missed Opportunity.
There is practically but one opinion
of the reconstructed British cabinet,
and that is that Premier Balfour
missed his opportunity to rehabilitate
the character of his government, and
that so far as the unionist policy at
large Is concerned, the ministry has
lost most of it's prestige and authority:

monty designated as the transitional
cabinet" seems largely due to the
