BEfr4Iys Noy-ELEcToR4L CAMPAIGN.

Our London correspondents special cable
letter to-day indicates that the early fall IN
Great Britain is TO be marked with popular
political campaign almost as general and as
animated as our own, despite the fact that
no election is impending. At least nothing
is known of any general election. The last was
held early in 1906, and In the natural order Of
events the next should not occur for several
years. The government majority, despite
losses, is still so overwhelmingly large that it
should easily hold out until the end Of the
constitutional term. Some have suggested
that the marked expressions of popular dis
favor which have been given in by-electons
should prompt the government TO resign. But
that seems TO be straining the point much too
far There is no constitutional or other con-
vincing reason why Mr.. Asquith should not
keep his place. at least for the present What
reasons for another course may arise as results
of the campaign or from proceedings in the
autumn session remain TO be seen.
The gigantic demonstration Of the vested
interests of the liquor trade in Hyde Park
to-day, which was to have been made some
time ago. but was blocked by a shrewd but not
overscrupulous trick of the temperance people,
and the INSTRUMENTATION a fortnight
hence, confirm the thought which we have
hitherto expressed, that in the United King
dom. as well as in the United States and else
where the question of dealing with the trade
in intoxicants is rising TO paramount place
The question is protean in form, but is every
where practically the same in substance 1t
is variousy called the liquor question the tenn
perance question. excise, prohibition, local
option, home rule; in China it is an anti
opium campaign; but everywhere it impli-
Gates the one supreme issue of the degree Of
freedom which shall be granted to the traffic
in intoxicants of any kind. In many of our
own states the evident drift of the movement
is for the marked restriction II not the actual
prohibition, Of the traffic; and that is IN a
considerable measure because of the lawbreak-
ing and other abuses OF this trade In Great
Britain the pretension is made that the trade
Is for those reasons exempt from meddling by
Parliament-a pretension which is not likely to
commend it to thoughtful public favor.
But this question Is only one Of n number
which beset the government Mr.. Asquith's
grant of an Irish University for Ireland does
not restrain the Irish party from turning upon
him and rending him for his policy toward the
Eucharistic Congress, nor does his grant of
old age pensions secure for him the support of
the Socialists or the Trade Unionists. HiS
allies desert him and become his foes. Mean
while the Unionist Opposition harmonously
presses forward with the logical and construc-
tive policy of tariff reform, in favor of which
the very stars in their courses seem to fight.

SUBMARINE FOG SIGNALS.

Dense fog like that which has prevailed for
the last few weeks IN New York Harbor and
along the New England coast presents grave
problem to the careful navigator. If he de-
cides. as did the captain of the Mauretania last
Wednesday, to take no risks whatever, the own
ers of his vessel are pretty sure to lose money.
Delays to steamships engaged in transatlantic
traffic are highly expensive. On the other hand,
if close adherence to schedule time is at
tempted in the interest of the passenger, as well
as of the owner, there is a possibility that pc
cuniary penalties of another kind may be I'm
posed In consequence of the collision near
Race Rock on Saturday morning vessel
was total loss, and the company to which the
damages In this case some rule of the marine
highways may have been neglected by the off,
GERS Of the Volund. The responsibility may
rest on their shoulders and not those of the
Commonwealths captain and pilot. The acci-
dent ITSELF however, illustrates the chance
which mariners must take If they determine to
90 ahead in a fog.
Though the government has done much to
lessen the dangers of navigation In thick
weather, possibly an increased use of some of
its safeguards would prove a benefit to both
the merchant marine and war vessels doing
duty along the coast. To enable big steamships
near Fire Island, the lighthouse there has been
equipped with apparatus for conveying bell
signals through the water instead Of the air.

THE AUSTRALIAN NAVY.

Reports from Australia confirm the expecta-
tions and predictions Of year ago that the
visit of our great battle feet to those shores
would promote the naval spirit among the peo-
pIe of the commonwealth and would lead to the
creation Of an Australian navy. There were
even intimations that the Australian authorizes
had precisely that end IN view, and for that
reason were specially eager to have the fleet
toucb at as many ports and stay there as long
as possible. and were eager to make the Aus
traIian welcome as marked as It could be made
It is not improbable that they appreciated the
Influence which our fleets visit would have,
though we do not for a moment Imagine that
the welcome to it would have been a whit less
cordial had there been no such purpose to be
served They were glad to welcome the fleet,
any way, and were entirely sincere in doing 1t,
quite apart from any use which was to be made
Of the visit.
Australia is wise in adopting this course, for
her need of navy is obvious There was once
a theory that the British navy was always to
be sufficient to serve the needs Of all British
possessions in all parts of the world. Perhaps
# still is strong enough for that, and will con-
tinue to be- Nevertheless, the principle Of self
defence may properly be operative side by side
with that of self-government- For years IL
has been manifested on land, in the Australian
army Why not also on sea, In an Australian
navy? The troopers of the commonwealth nave
NOT confined themselves to self defence. They
greatly aided the mother country in the South
African war and have established the rule that
the colonies shall aid the United Kingdom with
their armies whenever she needs them. Ger
tainIy it is quite as logical for the colonies to
aid her at sea also; at least, to the extent OF
so providing for their own defence as to leave
the British feet free for service elsewhere.
The remoteness Of Australia from the mother
country and from most other lands indicates at
once the necessity of such preparations for de-
fence and the ease with which they may be
made Unguarded by a navy, the shores of the
commonwealth might be ravaged by flying
SQUADRON from the other side Of the world.
Rut on the other hand such hostile squadron.
sent over so great distance and so far from
its base of supplies could scarcely be so formfd-
able that 1t could not be repeed by an Aus
tralfan navy of moderate strength. Against
only two powers. Japan and America, would
more than small fotilla be needed to afford
ADEQUATE protection, and protection against one
of them is about the last thing that Australia
is likely to need AS for the other she is now
and will remain for some time Great Britafn's
ally: though the fact is not to be concealed that
Great Britain's antipodal colony regards her
with much suspicion and with no little expec-
tation of ultimate though probably far distant
trouble.
