BALFOUR AND CABINET RESIGN
King coward Accepts Same and In
struets Campbell-5annerman
for Form New Cabinet.

London, Dec 5.-The political crisis
in the United Kingdom has reached a
climax Arthur ]. Balfour, the pre-
mier, has formerly rendered the resig-
nations Of himself and the members OF
his cabinet to King Edward, who ac-
eepted them. HIS majesty has invited
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman 70 an
interview, when he will Often him the
mission of forming q new cabinet. Sir
Henry will accept the task, and within
a few days a new government will be
formed
IL may be stated a. certain that Eord
Rosebery will be entirely ingOred in
the makeup of the cabinet and that
John Morley will be one Of the chief
advisers of Sir Henry in drawing up
the list Of his official family, which
will be presented to his majesty.
Mr.. Morley himself is considered like
II 20 go to the Indian office, aud il is
probable that Herbert Henry Asquith
will be chancellor OF the excheQuer.
The foreign affairs portfolio will go
either to Lord Elgin or Sir Edward
Grey, though the latter is considered
likely to be made secretary Of the colo
mics.
One thing is certain-that Sir Henry
Campbell Zimmerman has explained
his attitude on home rule for Ireland
TO those liberal leaders who are known
to be opposed to home rule on the lines
Of the last bills introduced in parha-
ment. Since his speech at Stirling
which raised such fulore, Sir Henry
has not made any statement, but il Is
confidently asserted in the liberal clubs
that he is ready with a policy which
will secure the adhesion Of the British
nationalist, and at the same time
avoid raising the issue Of one Of the
prominent planks in his platform.
There is some uncertainty as 20 when
the dissolution Of parliament will b
effective, bat it is not considered prob
able until after the new year.
An interesting feature Of the politi.
cal situation is the prospect Of . closer
alliance between the Irish and the
labor parties in the new parliament.
James Keir Hardie, the socialist and
independent member, in q political
speech tonight frankly invited such an
alliance. He pointed out that As labor
members combined with IS Irish mem
bers would provide q voting strength
which no government, however strong
could afford 70 ignore.

A general failure OF crops would hurt

those who are innocent Of the folly
will have TO pay part Of the penalty
incurred BY those who are guilty Of
the folly. A panic brought on BY the

Tired of the Noise of the City.

Pm tired of the noise of the city,
Its tumult and care and deceit;
l long for the peace of the meadows,
Where flowers bloom fragrant and sweet.
How vain is the smile of the many,
How empty the laugh of the throng!
l long to commune with great nature
And list once again to her song.
How worthless the glare of the tinsel,
How empty the bubble of show,
How senseless the studied expressions
That fathers are wont to bostow!
While nature deals with us so nobly,
Without the veneerings OF art,
The welcome she gives us is honest;
She speaks to each one from her heart
What is there in pomp and in power
So many possess to abuse?
The one stirs the envy Of pygmies;
The other, let him who will choose.
| fly from the city's great clamor,
Where men use deception to please,
And lay my head down on the hillside
To rest and to dream meath the trees

Red Land.

Dear Banner: In this community the
whole energy is being expended, at pres
ent, in preparing for spring planting,
and, except to haul fertilizer, there is
but little coming and going.
Mr.. N. Stewart, one of our most ener-
getic, progressive and liberal minded
citizens had the misfortune to lose fine
mare on Sunday.
Mrs. Mays, of Carterville, is the guest
of her sister, Mrs. VIM. Payton. Mr..
P. wears broad smile. 1t is boy.
Miss Ethel Denmon spent Sunday with
Miss Eleanor Allen.
Although you may claim that your
columns are not specially devoted to
common school subjects, nor to their cur
riculem, yet believe you will permit me
to say word in favor of the introduce
ton of good text book on Mental Arith-
metic into the schools of Louisiana.
There can hardly be a doubt that it is
one of the best branches for training the
faculty of close, logical reasoning as well
as those of attention and memory, and
that facility of expression, in which SC
many of US are deficient. OPTIMIsT.
