The liberal party is again in power
in Great Britain and its governmental
program will be awaited with no little
interest. There are some very interest
ing questions before the British people.
That of fiscal reform occupies a leading
place. With a large army of unem-
ployed in the United Kingdom and con-
ditions steadily growing more distress
ing, the advocates of change from the
free trade policy ought to rapidly make
converts to their cause by urging that
such situation would not exist If there
was some protection for British in
dustrial and agricultural interests. The
new prime minister, Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, is one of the most pro-
nounced opponents of Mr.. Chamberlain's
plan of fiscal reform, so that the cabinet
he will form will do what it can to dis
credit the proposed reform. 1t may not
be able to do much, however unless 1t
shall provide for the unemployed some
relief other than comes from charity
The question of home rule for Ire
land is still prominent and the
Irish nationalist party is vigorously
active. The new premier is un-
derstood to favor home ruIe.i although
there are some who doubt his sincerity
in the matter, believing that If he should
secure free trade majority big enough
to enable him to be Independent of the
Irish vote he would drop home rule.
1t is likely that British politics will be
somewhat quiet and uninteresting until
the meeting Of Parliament a couple of
months hence. 1t is to be expected that
then a dissolution will take place, fol-
lowed by a general election that will
determine whether or not. the liberals
are to retain power. The campaign, IL
there is a general election, will be fought
chiefly on the fiscal reform question.
The new premier is 90 years old, a
man of the highest personal character,
an impressive orator, an experienced
parliamentarian having been a member
of the house of commons for thirty
seven years, and he enjoys great popu-
larity among the liberals of the old
school,

PROPOSED TRADE COMMISSION.

The establishment by congress of Il
trade commission is proposed, such n
body to investigate market conditions
throughout the world and make such
recommendations as will promote the
export OF American manufactured prod
ucts. A bill already drawn provides
for a commission of five members and
the employment of experts, to last three
years, the expense not to exceed
100000. g.
The author of the measure, Senator
Overman of South Carolina, thinks there
is strong need Of such a commission,
because of the poor showing made by
our exports Of manufactures as COM
pared to our exports of raw material.
He points out that the south exports
more than 100000 bales OF raw cotton,
which are made into cotton goods in
England and sent back to South Amer
lea, where $52,OO0,OOO were sold to
Argentina alone last year. 1t is the
opinion Of the South Carolina senator
that the cotton goods should be manu-.
featured in this country IL a market can
be got for them and the proposed com
mission is intended to help find a mar.
ket. $50 it is I'm all lines Of export, "
said Mr.. overman. Germany sent out
experts, who found what the countries
to which they went wanted. They SO
informed their manufacturers and they
got the business. Why should we moi
do likewiseY"
That a commission might prove OF
value In promoting our export trade Il
not to be doubted, but the question sug
gests itself whether the service could
not be as we'll performed through the
Department OF Commerce and Labor
and at considerably less expense, Il
congress should authorize that depart
ment to send out experts 10 investigate
foreign market conditions. 1t is under
stood to be one of the functions of thai

TIE PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT.

Never in its history has Omaha been
so thoroughly imbued with the progress
sive spirit as it is today. And yet it is
greatly to be desired that every one in
terested in Omaha's growth and prosper
ity, who has not yet caught the spirit
fully, should enter into it for the COM
ing year without reserve.
The essence Of the progressive spirit
is energetic cooperation in every enter
prise of public or semi-public charac-
ter The rapid fruition OF the Greater
Omaha, to which we all confidently look
forward, depends upon the execution of
many projects, which can be carried
through only by united effort and joint
undertakings. Plans for several impor-
tant Improvements of large caliber are
under way right now, the success of
which will push Omaha upward many
notches and distribute lasting benefits
throughout the entire community.
We must realize that it is true of a
city like Omaha, even more than of the
people inhabiting the country as a
whole, that, as President Roosevelt says,
1--WE must go up or down together"
Omaha has been going steadily upward
and will continue to do so, but the speed
of the upward movement will be acceler-
ated by the spread of the progressive
spirit among all our citizens. The thing
to do is to take hold of the rope and
help pull along, not to sit idly by wait
ing for share of the profits out of work
done by others.
omaha's marvellous prosperity and adj
vancement during the past few years
will be only a prelude to the expansion
to be experienced the coming year, If
every one identified with Omaha contrib
utes his full share without Sinking.

Now 1t transpires that Gathers main
object in enjoining the merger of the
county and city treasures is to knock
out the entire charter. Whether this is
with the deliberate design to create con-
fusion or anarchy, or to force an extra
session of the legislature, has not yet
transpired. All we can now surmise is
the inevitable consequences of knocking
out three extra councilmen at $500 a
year and knocking back the old Board
of Public Works and the entire process
cion of city officials and their retainers.
But it is useless TO speculate on what
might happen if Gathers succeeds in re-
pealing the charter by injunction. Sufi-
cient unto the time are the evils thereof.

Judge Mcpherson has announced ne

Mr.. Kruskopf's friends come to his

sentence during the defendants good
