Chamberlain's Personal Triumph.

Lord Rosebery's proposed epitaph for
Joseph Chamberlain as the man who,
in a public life of scarcely thirty years,
split up both of the parties Of the state,
may be incomplete after all. There are
some people who believe that Chamber
lain, after this most herculean feat, is
going to signalize his political career
at its evening by creating a new party.
The returns from Birmingham show
that all seven Of Chamberlain g pro-
tectionist candidates were elected. This
is in such bright contrast with Man
/ chester, where the u%nionist candidates,
including the leader Of the party, were
ignominiously defeated, that it puts
Chamberlain in a class by himself.
In the next parliament he will be
lost, but in the one following he ex-
poets to be in the majority on the fiscal
issue. Such optimism in q politician on
the verge of 70 years Of age is refresh
ing. It shows that q man who stands
for an idea does not count time against
him. If protection is the proper policy
for Great Britain, it matters not to
Chamberlain that he did not discover
it until a year ago. It is not too
late, and even if he does not live
to see the policy adopted, he will
have some men from Birmingham to
represent the idea in parliament when
he is gone. ~
Chamberlain, who is quite. unemo-
tional as a politician, was evidently
fred with an emotional idea. when he
took up protection and preferential
tariffs for the colonies. He saw dur.
ing the Boer wal that the island could
never defend itself on land with the
men available. He believed that the
true source Of supply Of fighting men
for the future was the colonies, whittier
all the able-bodied Englishmen were
going and where most of the able
Bodied English children were being
born. To interest these men in i'm
perial defense was a distinct job. 1
could not be done by merely spoutins
patriotism. History showed that whe,

Trials of a, Rich Bow.

Langdon Smith has been max
ing a study of Marshall Field. who, a
few short weeks ago was Marshall
Field III, but who by the whirligig Of
fate, which removed first his father
and then his grandfather, has become
suddenly Marshall Field I, with the
prospect Of inheriting more money than
would buy all the marbles in town.
+ Notwithstanding the imminence Of this
misfortune Of fortune, young Marshall
Field is described as a comparatively
happy boy. HeNrides a pony and walks
out with his dog and cuts capers like al
most any other boy. He studies, too,
for boys, even boys who have money
coming to them in hay wagons, must be
educated. So young Marshall Field is
studying arithmetic. Arithmetic was a
great help to his grandfather in max
ing his fortune. Without a general
knowledge Of arithmetic it is doubtful
whether the elder Field would have
made his money. Arithmetic tells you
all about percentage and profit and loss
and interest and asks you to solve such
questions as the one about John Smith,
who bought a horse for $85 and a cow
for two-thirds as much as the horse,
and a sheep for one7fourth as much as
the cow, and what did they all cost,
and be quick about it..
Young Marshall Field is studying this
noble science, but the peculiar thing
ahont the bow is that he is studying
geometry at the same time. Geometry
is by some considered. an advanced
study, but there is no reason why Mar
shall Field should not study the twt
together if he likes. Besides Arithmetic
and geometry this boy studies French

the subject, the Independent concludes
that secession is the only thing left,

"There is only one way for the peo-

"and that is to divide the state. The
truth Of the whole matter is that we

LECTURES RY JUSTICE sREwE

LECTURES BY JUSTICE BREWER.-
Three lectures by David j. Brewer, jus
tice of the supreme court of the United
States, delivered to the students Of Hav-
erford college, have been issued in book
form, under the title of the first lecture,
The United States a Christian Nation.
The other two lectures are "Our Duty as
Citizens" and 1.-THE Promise and the Pos
sibility of the Future" Justice Brewer
holds tina the United States should be
classified as a Christian nation, because
it has been so formally declared by the
supreme court of the United States. by
many Of the highest state courts, by the
| colonial charters, from which the consti-
tuition of the United States is mainly de-
rived, by nearly all of the state constitu-
tions, by state legislation on Sunday OBJ

practice.
In the last lecture Justice Brewer
makes an earnest and eloquent exhorta-
ton to the young men Of America to tenn.

Cut Out S~ectionalism.

1t is apparent that the man to beat
johnson next November must be nomi-
mated without the influence Of the twin
cities, as it is generally conceded that
the interests Of the cities and the rural
districts are not identical.-F'airfax
Standard.
The Standard surely does not mean
to say all that the foregoing implies.
The whole state is interested equally in
the selection Of a governor, and in an
honest, fearless administration of state
affairs. Our interests ore Identical. In
matters of state policy some Of our
large corporations have their own: pri-
vate interests, but they are not The in
terests Of the city voter any more than
Of the man in the country. Minneapolis
and st. Paul are not to be compared
with great Stun centers Of the east as
centers Of political corruption. There is
a venal class, but it is small by COM
parison, and the city voter as a rule is
as honest and as independent as his
fellow citizen in the country. His vote
counts for just as much, moreover. when
~majorities are figured s7# 3 -
It will not do to leave the twin cities
out of consideration. That mistake was
made two years ago. The republican
voters Of Minneapolis and St. Pau
spoke their minds in no uncertain way
Overcoming g. vast corporation cam
paign fund, they carried both county
conventions and sent delegates to the
state convention favoring Judge Col
lines. One delegation was. thrown gu
and the other ignored in the choice o:
a candidate. The mistake made by tina;
convention was rebuked at the polls
not only by Minneapolis and. st. Paul
but by the country districts Of the state
Voters in every section resented the in
justice done to Minneapolis.
The twin cities are not likely to tr,
any dictation to the republican party
That is not the record of the past, a
least as far as Minneapolis is concerned
It will be a mistake, however, to dc
prive the cities Of a proportionate voic
in the next convention. The state o
j., Minnesota is too big to be ruled by an
:, section or class Of people.
