T HOUGH he makes little stir in the
political world, James Caldwell
is one of the most remarkable
and potent figures In the inner
life of the house of commons He is a
poor speaker and counts for little as
politician. and yet he has more in
fuence and control Of the work of the
house than any other private member,
and divides with Mr.. Balfour, or who
soeyer else may be the leader of the
house, the fate of almost every measure
that is introduced there.
A wealthy bachelor, and retired from
business, the world seems to offer him
but one form of real delight. To par
Lament he gives his undivided time and
attention. During the many years that
he has held a seat there he has never
missed an hour that the house has been
in session. He lunches there; takes his
tea there: dimes there, and, If it af-
forded private bedrooms. he would Ger
tainly sleep there. Unable to do that,
he lives just as close to it as he can.

- EPORTS made by assessors who

the Rosebud and Cheyenne res
ervations show that the Sioux
Indians are possessed of the following
1uxuries:
Three hundred and twenty telephones.
Eighteen automobiles.
Nine hearses (used as carriages).
Twenty-eight pianos.
Sixty organs.
Add to these the fofty-seven divorces
secured by Indians IN the past year.
and it cannot be denied that the Sioux
have become apt pupils Of the white
man, writes a South Dakota correspon-
dent of the Minneapolis Tribune.
The Cheyennes were greatly inter-
ested in the building Of the telephones,
and when they found out that they
could talk through space they were
wild TO secure instruments for them
selves. Now If the ranchmen find the
line busy it is usually buzzing with
gossip in the original Sioux tongue.

"TO BE TAKEN FOR GUIDE."
Report Of Count Witte or Which the
MHDifc.tO Was Based.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-Count Wit
te's report TO the emperor, who In
scribed thereon. ito be taken for
guide" Is as follows:
Your majesty has deigned to indi-
cate to me directions for a government
In consideration of the actual state Of
Russia.
".The agitation of human society 10
not the outcome Of partial imperfec-
lions In the social and governmental
regime or Of actions organized by the
extreme elements. Its roots are much
deeper. 1t took birth in the violation
Of the balance between the moral
aspirations and the exterior forms Of
Russian society.
believing that Russia aspired to
laws based on civil liberty, the chief
problem of the government consists in
making effective, ever before approval
by the state douma all elements Of civil
liberty in the elaboration OF normal leg
islative measures giving equality be-
fore the laws to all Russians without
distinction Of race or religion.
1.-THE government should abstain
from any interference with elections to
cere desire for the realization Of the
ukase of December %, 1904. 1t must
maintain the prestige of the douma and
have confidence in its labors. and in
no way resist its decisions SO long as
they are not inconsistent with Russia's
historic greatness.
1T Is necessary to respect the ideals
Of the great majority OF society, and
not the echoes of noisy groups and
factions, too often unstable.
1T is especially important to secure
the reform of the council Of the en-
pire on an electoral principle.
81 believe that in the exercise of the
executive power the following princi
pies should be embodied:
Observation-Disclosures and sin
certify in the confirmation of civil liber'
ty and in providing guarantees for 1T
maintenance.
"Second-A tendency in the direction
of the abolition of exclusive laws.
"~Third-The cooperation OF the &C
tivity Of all organizations Of govern
ment.
"Fourth-Avoidance Of repressiv
measures in respect Of proceeding
which do not openly menace society o
the state.
"Fifth-Resistance 10 acts whicl
manifestly threaten society or the STATE
such resistance being based upon LAY
and moral unity.
Confidence must be placed in the pc
litical tact Of Russian society. 1t
impossible that society should desir
q condition of anarchy which woul
threattn, in addition to all the horror
OF civil strife, the dismemberment
the empire"

fore mas characterized his majessyi
manifestoes. It not only betrays real
authorship, but shows that the emperor
at last %irrevocably bowed to the inevit-
lble. He does not even conceal the
fact that the discomfort and agitation
Of his subjects has driven him to take
the step, and practically yields every
lhing-civil liberty, the ~inviolabihty OF
person, and liberty Of conscience,
spe sch and assembly. He not only
converts the farcical imperial douma,
with only consultative power, into .
absolute legislative assembly without
the assent of which no measure shall
become law. and before which all gov.
ornamental authorities must answer, but
promises eventually universal suf-
