All available material relating to the sub
ject will be found collected in aThe Declara-
ton Of Independence by John H. Hazleton,
a handsome large octave volume published
by Dodd, Mead q Co. The author is care
full to eliminate all personal opinions and
to present the evidence without comment.
He limits himself to simple statements OF
fact necessary to lead from one point TO
another. After the records touching on
independence for 1774, 1775 and 1776. he
describes the proceedings day by day in
the Congress till the Declaration was signed.
The following chapter, telling how it was
received throughout the land, is particu-
larly interesting. In the appendix the two
manuscript versions Of the Declaration.
the first printed copy, and the drafts pre-
served In the handwriting OF Jefferson
and John Adams are compared word for
word. A mass OF information, including
all controversial matter, is included In the
voluminous notes. 1T Is q careful and
thorough piece OF work that brings original
sources within the reach Of every one.

Referring to the speech made at the con-
ference of Conservative associations held
at Bradford on October 20, 1885, in the course
OF which Lord Randolph asserted that
closure by a simple ma jority was the motor
muscle" OF any reform in parliamentary
procedure and declared that the programme
OF policy, foreign and domestic, which he
had e~ndeav ored to outline at hartford
three weeks before was but a mere repeti-
ton Of the programme put forth by Lord
Salisbury In lSS5-a speech received with
thunderous applause - our author pro-
nounces it a pity that he cannot end the
story of his father here. At that moment
Lord Randolph Churchill seemed to be
separated by only a single step from Il
ca reer of dazzling prosperity and fame.
With a swiftness which in mordern Parlia-
mentary history bad been exoelled only by
the younger Pitt, he had risen by no mans
leave or monarch's favor from the station
OF a private gentleman to almost the first
position under the Crown. Upon the Con-
tinent he was already regarded, although
he was not yet 3s, as the future master of
English politics. His popularity among
the English people was unsurpa ssed. He
was steadily gaining the confidence Of his
sovereign and the respect and admiral ton
Of the most serious and enlightened men OF
the day. His natural gifts we're still ripen-
ing and his mind expanding. The House
OF Commons had responded instinctively
10 the leadership of a great member Of
arlia ment, whom Punch denominated
the Grand Young Man" Alike in the
glare and the clatter Of the platform and
In the silent diligence of "A public depart
ment, he had been found equal to the varied
tasks which are laid upon an English Minis
ter. IF" asks his son, "he were thus armed
and equipped at 81, what would he be at so?
Who could have guessed that ruin, utter
and irretrievable, was marching swiftly
upon this triumphant figure; that the great
party that had followed his lead 30 blithely
would, in a few brief months. turn upon him
In abiding displeasure; and that the Parlia-
ment which had assembled to find him 40
powerful and to accept his guidance would
watch him creep away in sadness and
alone?r
How did il come to pass that on the morn
ing OF December 90, 1885, only a few months
after the first Unionist Parliament had a.
sembled, the readers OF the Times news
pape we're startled to learn that Lord
Randolph Churchill had resigned the Offices
OF Chancellor Of the EXchequer and leader
Of the House Of Commons and had retired
altogether from the Government? II was
understood. and it was a fact, that the
Cabinet had acquiesced in the budget which
he had just prepared. No important issue
had arisen in foreign or domestic affairs.
No great question likely to lead to such a
breach was bOforethe country. Our author,

II is we'll known that Lord Randolph and
his friends organized in 1883 the Primrose
Tory League, which ultimately became 30
powerful that, on the accession OF Lord
Salisbury to the Premiership in 1886, Sir
Stafford Northcote was constrained to retire
TO the House Of Lords with the title of Earl
of Iddesleigh and Viscount- st. Cyres, while
every member Of the Fourth party was
translated to a higher sphere. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill became Secretary of State
for India, a department which at that time,
with the exception Of the Foreign Office, was
the most important of all Ministerial post'.
Mr.. Balfour, though not admitted to the
Cabinet, was appointed President OF the
Local Government Board; Sir Henry Wolf
was made a Privy Councillor and despatched
on a special mission to Turkey and Egypt,
with wide and peculiar auth GRITTY over the
whole field Of Egyptian affairs, while Mr..
Gorst, on his part, accepted the position OF
Solicitor General. Lord Randolph's popu-
larity was enhanced by his promotion. The
magnetic and masterful qualities which the
House Of Commons had learned to appre-
ciate and which the Tory Democracy loudly
acclaimed were now recognized by persons
and by classes that hitherto had schooled
themselves to regard him merely as an
modifying example of irresponsible au-
dacity. The vigorous self. assertion Of youth
was stamped with the seal OF official au-
thority, and over all hung the glitter Of Sue
cess.
There is no doubt that by the end Of
1882 Lord Randolph had become the most
popular speaker in the Conservative party.
and that in 1885 when he first took office
he eo,ialled, if he did not surpass, Mr..
Gladstone himself in the interest and en-
thusiasm which his personality aroused,
Our author recalls that wherever his father
went he was received by tremendous
throngs and with extraordinary demonstra-
tions Of good will. In times when good
Conservatives despaired Of the fortunes of
their party under a Democratic franchise,
and even. making a virtue OF necessity,
regarded it as almost immoral to court a
working class vote. and when the chiefs
Of Toryism looked upon the resisting
powers Of small shop and lodging house
keepers, OF suburban villadom and OF the
seductive publican as almost the only
remaining bulwarks Of the Constitution.
Lord Randolph Churchill boldly enlisted the
British nation at large in the defence Of
Church and State. AT a time when Liberal
orators and statesmen, 'careering about the
country az Lord Randolph described
them, calling themselves the people OF
England were looking forward to an
election which should relogate the Con
sentative party to the limbo Of obsolete

by S41 votes to 3ll, and that on the following

six months old, was dissolved. Like Sir
Robert Peel forty years before, Mr.. Glad

party was shattered. The Wings had

desperate struggle that followed, but it

All present realized the financial
condition of the city and also the
terribly threatening condition Of the
water works, and it was unanimously
agreed that the council and the board
of trade should provide for a bond
issue, by requesting our delegates and
state senators to have a law enacted
at the next session Of the legislature
authorizing an election on the ques-
tion Of issuing bonds sufficient to
nay off the old Indebtedness and for
100000 additional for new water
works. It was the opinion of both
committees that such bonds could be

Thelwater situation is especially
alarming because of the great
amount Of water used by the brew

been reduced in the central part Of
the city from so TO 40 pounds and
there is practically no water at all

will be relieved within the next ten
