British Politics.

The political situation in Great Brit of the Balfour cabinet seem to be mum. bered, although no definite conclusion has been announced as to the manner of the minister stepping down and out. Whether Balfour shall resign. and ask King Edward to invite Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman, the liberal lead CT, to form a cabinet, or whether the present parliament shall be dissolved and a general election be held, are to be determined by Mir Balfour and men in his council.
 English politics are badly mixed. The chief issues affecting the empire are MT. Chamberlain's preferential tariff and the eyer-present Irish home rule agitation.
 If Campbell-Bannerman should sue ceed Balfour as premier he would be confronted by majority opposed to liberal policies and would therefore be powerless. His premiership under such circumstances would be of short duration. The liberal party is serious ly split, Lord Rosebery being a pro nounced opponent of home rule and mpbellBannerman and many other able liberals being in favor of making concessions to the Irish party, led by Mir. Redmond.
 MT. Chamberlain, the unionist leader, has an issue-the tariff-that is quite popular, but his party Is numerically weak. Chamberlain was once an ex- treme liberal--a radical of the radicals but when he deserted Gladstone and assisted in defeating the home rule bill the union-liberal party sprang into life. Since his betrayal of Gladstone his party has been regarded as wing of the conservative or tory party. The house of commons consists of 670 members. England returns 465; Ireland, ITO; Scotland, 70, and Wales, 30. Of the Irisn members, eighty stand solidly together for home rule. Red mond is alert and aggressive and will be ready to make terms with any party that may be In power on the sole issue dear to the Irish heart-home rule for Ireland Ireland may not get very soon what the large majority of her people are fighting for, but they will never give up the fight until vic tory crowns their efforts. They feel that their cause is right and just, and the majority of Americans are in full sympathy with them.

Finished Steel Products.

Tonnage of orders for finished steel
 products, while not averaging as heavy since November 1, as during October, have still been beyond current production although the season is now late, said a writer in the Wall Street Journal. The danger of d runaway m> .s has been increased. Throughout ahe iron trade there Is talk about the undesirability of such market but when 1t comes to talk ing actual pains to prevent it. the United States Steel corporation seems to stand almost alone. It's effort is undoubtedly a sincere one.
 Two developments of opposite tenden- cies, as to a runaway market, have come out In the past week. The outside makers of plates, and merchant steel mill pro- ducts have become more insistent for ad- vances which it is possible will have to be made by the 18th of next month. The eastern plate makers pase their claim on the fact that they must buy large ton mage of crude steel and the market on this has advanced several dollars ton since the present plate price was estab- lished. Their margin is rather small.
 The other development is that the steel corporation seems to nave abandon ed purchases of outside Bessemer pig iron, despite the fact that it needs the iron badly. The furnaces were willing to furnish only limited tonnage. about 50,0o0 tons at ST, furnace, for first quarter and the corporation seems to have decid- ea that 1t will not pay more than $17 for any additional tonnage. Foundry pig iron has been very quiet, and If the cor poration actually withdraws as a buyer above ST, 1t Is possible that the generally expected advance to S19 or $20 may be ovarfad

The Football Season.

The Thanksgiving games to be played in all parts of the country to- morrow will end the official football season of 1905. The increasing num- Der of fatalities this year has resulted fl. an upheaval that may mean the com plete encouragement of the game or its abolishment entirely. The stand taken by some of the leading univer- sities of the United States, including Yale. Harvard and Pennsylvania, seems to indicate that the agitation

CATS AND DOGS.

From the Florida Times Union.

Our population of dogs and cats would about equal our population of peo- pie, and these cause both solid loss and more costly annoyance to the home people and constitute a standing annoyance to visitors. The hotels refuse to take dogs for guests, and the city authorities might support them in the position. Talk less and kill more.

Would Join Interests.

'The suggestion made by President T. H. Molton of the Commercial club to President C. II. Stevenson of the Besse- mer Board of Trade that the two organi- zations combine interests and efforts in a common cause for the good of the en- tire district is a fine one, in my opinion" said business man from one of the neighboring towns yesterday.
 The prosperity of any one of the growing towns in the Birmingham district Is good for all the others, and all should of the other localities.
 T would like to see live commercial organization in every one of the towns in the district with an association of in terests A federation of commercial clubs in the Birmingham district would be of great value to the entire section and would inspire a mutual interest in the district that could hardly be secured in any other way.
 An organization of the business men in all the neghboring towns could not fail to be of great help to the indi- vidual localities and indirectly would be helpful to the district as whole.
 I understand that the Board of Trade at Bessemer, which has only been organ lzed few weeks Is already doing good for the town and community, and has taken up several matters of general im- portance that will be of great value to the entire Birmingham district The Bes- semer Board of Trade has issued a hand some folder giving the advantages of Bes- semer and the growth of it's industries, which is being distributed in all parts of the United States. This advertising will be of great value not only to Bessemer but to the entire district"
