The Liberal Landslida

The British elections have developed into
a yeritable landslide. Not even the most
optimistic supporters of the liberal party
hoped for more than a sufficient success to
give their party plurality over the union
lists, with the labor and Irish members CO.
operating to afford a ministerial majority.
As the case now stands. there Is every rea-
son 10 look for a large liberal majority
over all the other parties insuring it a
fairly certain tenure OF Office for a much
longer season than was predicted for It be-
fore the elections. Including yesterdays
balioting. which materially increased the
liberal sittings In the house, the results
now yield 95 liberal seats, 81 unionists. Is
nationalist or Irish members, II laborites
and 1 socialist. This means margin of
Is liberal votes over all The laborites and
the Irish members together number more
than the unionists.
Thus far 1872 elections have occurred out
of $40. leaving sos districts to vote. II the
liberals and their allies continue their pres
ent rate OF gain the house will consist of
Dol ministerialists to 1i9 unionists. but the
effect OF the sweeping victories of the pres
ent ministry in the districts which have
voted already appears to be cumulative,
and 1t is predicted that the conservatives,
or unionists. will be fortunate IL they secure
100 members. Not even former ministerial
prestige Is saving the candidates OF the
1ong-dominant party. Ex-Prsmier Balfour

The National Board of Trade.

For years the National Board of Trade
has been meeting in this city in annual
session. 1t has discussed many subjects
in that time and its recommendations to
Congress have gone on file and have flowed
into the current of public opinion which is
constantly setting toward the Capitol to
influence legislation. This organization,
composed of representatives of local boards
Of trade. chambers of commerce and SINH
lar business bodies, stands for a concen-
trated expression of the opinions and de-
sires of these constituent associations 1t
represents, indeed, the beliefs of a very
large number of citizens engaged in the
practical work of the day, the management
OF great enterprises and affairs, the pro-
ducers of wealth. 1t occupies a significant
position In the national economy.
Recent changes in the organization have
occurred with the result that the present
officials and leaders of this association are
bent upon a new degree of activity. They
are endeavoTing to conserve, through the
National Board of Trade not only the BUSH
ness sentiments of the country, and to bring
them to effective focus upon Congress,
but to establish a high standard of civic
health, to write large upon the tablets of
American progress the principle of honesty
in all private and public affairs. Taking
warning from the recent disclosures of
graft in, many lines of activity, both pub
lie and private, the leaders of this body
feel that the time has come to direct
thought to the end of securing, through
legislation or otherwise, more insistent
requirements of character and conduct in
ali lines of work
The program of resolutions to be con-
sidered by the National Board OF Trade at
this session is subordinate in interest to this
voiced by the leaders of the organization.
1t has a wide field for manifestation. Gross
sefishness has long dominated in the adj
justment of American affairs. Political ex-
igencies have forced compromises with
honor. The inordinate greed of gain has
produced bitter fruits. The time has come
for united efforts to establish in business
and in politics. in all the details of munic-
ipal, state and federal administration, the
principles of honesty and decency and right
living. There is wide field for any body
of citizens. bent upon proclafming the doc
trine of righteousness IN business and in
politics.
II the National Board of Trade espouses
this cause with vigor 1t will serve a praise
worthy end, and will contribute materially
to the moral health of the country. There
is urgent need today of some such propa-
ganda for the rescue of our bedra ggled
ideals from the mire of constituencies COM
mercialism and partisan politics.

Cancer.

DR.. Harper's death from cancer. after the
exhaustion OF every known remedy and
palliative agency, is a sad testimony to the
fact that this disease remains unconquered

hopeless foe to life. 1t is treated success

Unreturning Time.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
We have often alluded to the feeling,
which Increases with increasing age OF
the rapidity with which time passes. In
youth year seems almost interminable.
in middle age 1t seems only short time
to look either backward or forward; while
in old age 1.-The days are swifter than a
weavers shuttle" in their flight, and 1--WE
spend our years as a tale that is told" But
there is another thing in connection with
the passing of time that becomes more i'm
pressive as years roll by, and that Is its
irrevocableness; the certainty that what
ever opportunities we lose are never going
to be offered to us again, and happy indeed
are those who have not in advanced years
many such lost opportunities to regret.
The worst of 1t is that such chances ap-
pear to us more clearly in retrospect than
they ever can in looking forward. Things
that did not appear to matter much at the
moment have a way of assuming impor-
tant proportions as we look back at them
and realize all the consequences to which
they led, and how much better 1t would be
had we acted differently at the time the op-
portunity was presented to US.

of affronts and humiliations by the French

great Partisan house of Charpentier, who. hav-
ing induced that monarch to divorce his con-
sort Caroline of Meckenburg-Strel subse-
quently became his morganatc WIFE under the
name of Countess Danner. Christian was en-
bttered by this, would not even return the visit
paid to him by the President of the French Re
public in Copenhagen, and caused his youngest
daughter Thyra, now Duchess of Brunswick and
of Cumberland. to decline an offer of marriage
made to her in 1873 by Napoleon IT'S only son,
the i'll fated Prince Imperial of France
Frederick VIII has no such prejudces with
regard to France although it was he who,
his fathers emissary in 1864. received at Paris
the refusal of Napoleon III to intervene in be
half of Denmark, the celebrated Countess de
CastigIione being known to have influenced the
Emperor in adopting this course. which goes
far toward confirming the story to the effect
that, besides being agent of the Italian gov
ernment in France, she likewise did effective
work, if not for ''le ROi de Prusse." at any rate
for Bismarck. While this may have angered
Frederick toward Napoleon. it certainly never
affected his friendship for France. He ana his
wife were. if my memory serves right, the
first foreign royal couple to visit the President
of the French Republic in state at the Elysee
and. as have stated above, since the overthrow
of the empire he has been frequent visitor to
Paris. He has been invariably accompanied on
these occasions by his cOnsort, quite the tallest
Queen in Christendom being taller than her
husband, who is himself a stalwart six-footer
This dOmesticity of Frederick has aIways an
pealed in a pleasing fashion to the French
people, who are disposed to resent as a lack
of respect to the nation the practice of so
many foreign princes to select Paris as the
scene of their escapades and indiscretions of
which they would be afraid to render themselves
guilty at home lest they should shock the sense
Of propriety of their fellow citizens. Yet Fred
erick is a man who is fond of pleasure, but in

PLEAD NOT GUILTY.
Lake Madison Fishermen Will FIGHT
the Case.

from SATURDAY DasW
Sheriff Williams returned late last
evening from Madison Lake, bringing
with him Sam Marshall and Arthur and
Roy Culp, charged with catching more
than the legal limit of croppies. Frank
Hennessey, the fourth party for whom
the sheriff held warrant, had skipped
for Winona, according to information
which the sheriff received.
The three defendants We're arraigned
before Judge Comstock at 1880 o'clock
last evening, and each entered plea
of not guilty. The trial of all the
cases was set for Oct. at 900 a. M,
and the defendants were required to
furnish 500 bonds for their appearance
at that time, which they did. j. w.
Schmitt appeared as their attorney.
According to statements made by Mr..
Marshall and the Culps, they did not
catch to exceed the limit. Marshall
claimed that he had bought most of the
fish that were found in his launch. The
Culps claimed that they caught, one
nine and the other thirteen fish.
The state claims to have evidence
that Marshall stated that he had caught
los fish, and that he had offered prize
of fifty cents for the one catching the
most fish among those fishing for him.
1t is also claimed that the Culps sunk
a bag of fish.
Mr. Schmitt, when seen today said:
I'VE have got tired of this repeated pro-
secution and will fight this case to a
finish. The defense will be that the legal
number of fish was not exceeded. The
warrant seems to be all right, so that
cannot be attacked"
