THE LAW OF THE DUMP.

the facts thus far accessible, however, we can
not share this ill-repressed Indignation. Al
though in some minor matters Mr.. Conway may
have earned mild dIsapproval, his broad policy
is nnasSaiable, whether we accept his own YER
sion Of what this policy is or that which his enc
mics have caused To be published. Through all
the tribulatdons which To be impending
Mr. Conway may be cheered up by the thought
that our sympathy is entirely on his side. We
firmly believe that as manipulation of dumping
grounds Mr. Conway has lived up 10 the Law
of the Dump,
The Law of the Dump gives to each man full
right to paw over a rubbish heap and extract
therefrom for bis own purposes whatever he

the benefit of stupid people who throw dia-

waste basket contents have been practical fall

Mr. Conway was made douby sure that he was
contemplating a dump by the discovery Of many
parks school sites and streets whose existence
and location were unknown or Ignored by their
legal owner. What more natural and proper,
then, than to assume that all this property had
been pitched out on the rubbish heap by the same
natural law which guides broken bottles and
bent pins thither? IT is sound logic to argue

does not even keep record of the acquisition,

GERHANY'S NEW CRUISERS.

What purport to be authentic details of the
new armored cruiser which Germany Is build
Ing are given by The Daily Express" Of Lon
don and if correct they certainly calculated
10 command the earnest attention OF naval
powers throughout the world. This cruiser,
which was laid down at Bremen nearly a year
ago. is as yet unnamed, being designated
merely as the "F," but is understood to be only
one of number Of vessels which are to be
constructed according to the same plans. As
is the custom IN Germany now-and prudent
custom it is too-the utmost secrecy was OBJ
served concerning the elements Of construction
and armament of this ship, and 1t Is not ap-
parent how the London paper got hold of them,
but the assurance and detail with which they
are given would seem to indicate their substan-
tal correctness 1t will be interesting to COM
pare them with those Of such a British cruiser
as the Invincible and such an American ship
the Washington.
In size the German ship is by far the largest,
being of 10000 tons displacement to the In
vincible's 1880 and the Washingtons 1451S
The horsepower of the "F'' will be 1900, whil,
that of the Invncible is only 1900 and that
of the Washington is $4,000. This power will
drive the German ship twenty-fou knots in

PROTECTION AT MANCHESTER.

II woud be idle TO attempt to conceal the fact
tbat the result of the election in Northwest

didate himself frankly admits, n very hea's
blow" TO the Liberal government OF Great Brit
ain 10 the Liberal party end to the cardihai po-
Iitical principle for which that party no"
stands /, Is also no doubt personal setback
for Mr. Winston Churchill, which he naturally

criticisms or the improperly OF contestinG the
re election Of a Cabinet minister lie comes Oh
too good fighting stock for that. lie VIII TAKE
his punishment manfully aud VIII, OF COURSE
seeI, and secure reelection In some other con-
stituency.
II will not be forgotten that In electing a
Tnionist the Manchester division has merely re-
turned 70 its former allegiance. In 1872 ana
again in 1900 the Unionist candidate was re-
turned unopposed and in 1895 he was elected
hv ma iority Of 1,471 In total vote OF S'o-''.
when Mr. Churchill carried ii In 1906 by l,-4l
he was regarded as having effected revoiutlo1
and as having gained one OF the most prlillhnt
and surprising victories In that campaign Now
the constituency elects a Unionist again by the
diminished plurality Of 429 1t Is merely
swinging back Of the pendulum to the FORMER
side and not quite so far as it used to go But
even that would be in almost any circumstances
ominous. for general swinging back OF the
penduum 10 the place II held In 1880 or lSo
vou1d mean return of the Unionists to power
| The Significance of the incident Is heightened by
| the fact that this defeat follows an unprecc-
| denied series of similar reverses and by inc
| further fact that Mr.. Churchill was beaten de
spite the prestige of his new ministerial honors
| But the supreme significance Of 1t lies IN the
| fact that the campaign was fought almost eX
| clusveIv on the tariff issue and that the result

very birthplace and favOrite home OF Golden

indicating Mr. Chamberlain's protectonisIm
Now at this special election Mr.. Churchill made

Free Traders must unite and stand together or

this ingenious theory the President should have
