of the Catholic doctrine OF prayers
for the dead. This is d service that
appeals to us all, as we too must
go "the way of all flesh" Besides it
helps US keep the homes-the little
dwelling places of our dead friends
whom Christian hope tells us we
shall see again "these mortal bodies
having put on immortality" green

US not to forget. The way to the

Unpaid CAMPATGN SPEAKERS.

The suggestion that campaign orators this
year be invited to give their services without
other compensation than necessary travelling
expenses has substantial merit, In past cam
naiens in which there was a plethora i'll the
chests Mt Headquarters the 'spelbnder' helped
materially 70 put national committees funds
back into circulation. Each party maintained
small army of oratorical exhorters most of
them dispensing their eloquence in a wholly
perfunctory and professional manner. 1t used
10 be a matter of speculation whether the aver
age "spellbinder" would make vote week or
a vote a whole season. and latteriy the profes
sionaI orator of the hustings has fallen into dis
esteem and neglect.
Mr. Corteyou's campaign management in
1904 did away entirely with the Transforming
variety of "spellbinder." We are inclined to
think that the popular taste has outgrown this
method Of campaigning and that more people
are to be reached through pictorial presenta-
tion Of the issues and personalities of can
vass-through cartoons. epigrams and moving
picture shows. These have crowded the spell
binder out of his occupation. and wise com
mittee will look 10 them. perhaps. for quicker
and better results So far. however. as there
remains field for the minor orator it would be
better both for the speaker and the audience
that the relation between them be not tainted
with professionalism. An orator speaking
solely because of conviction can reach his audi
tors more easily and is likely to do far better
work than a "spellbinder'' talking chiefly for
pay. There are plenty Of men who are ready
10 go the stump because they have principles
which they wish TO advocate. With their aid
the national committee of either party can
probably accomplish all that is necessary in the
way Of conducting speaking campaign.

CASSIDY and THE CONSTITUTION.

Our Borough Presidents will never cease from
troubling The city had Just nerved itself up
10 endure the worst regarding them when some
thing worse still threatens. Mr.. Joseph Cas-
sidy. that eminent reformer and constitutional
ist of Queens. has discovered what he regards
as constitutional flaws in the title of Mr.
Gresser and. consequently. in that of Mr.
Ahearn. those worthy Borough Presidents for
whose incumbence the people escape all sense
of responsibility. placing the blame upon the
Board of Aldermen. where blame rests as easily
naturally and appropriately as odors hang over
Barren Island.
Mr. Cassidy constitutional point is too deep
for the average understanding being fully as
complicated as reform in Queens But If its
objective is rightly comprehended the people
of Manhattan nay have an opportunity of vim
dicating Mr. Ahearn again at a general election
and Inc people of Queens of rewardug the ser
vices of Mr.. Joseph Cassidy in the interests Of
reform and constitutionaty by choosing him
to preside over Queens.
II may be better TO leave the Borough PreSi-
dents as they are. You cannot poke the office
even with so respectable a weapon as the con-
Stitution without disturbing the olfactory
nerves The constitution was never intended TO
keep from forgetting our troubles.

"ADVANCE. ATSTRALTA :"

The great southern Commonwealth which our
feet is now visiting appears 10 be notably full
filling the hortatory phrase which is inseparably
connected with its name a any rate in material
growth Australian advance In trade and com
merce in recent wears since and largely be-
cause Of the union of the states, has been very
great. After the formation of the Common
wealth the American tariff system put into
effect. with free trade among the states, but
with protection against all the outside world.
The result was a rapid and marked increase in
the volume of interstate commerce. In 1902 it
amounted TO S107 305 O00 and in 1907 to $780,
$1,000 an increase of more than 66 per cent In
five years. At the same time in common with
the United States. the Commonwealth gave the
lie TO the stupid preence that protective tariff
is incompatible with extension of foreign COM
merce. It's imports were $3.50, ,O57, ,355 iii 1904,
and they increased TO 259390,s55 in 1907; its
exports were S241 $50. $50 in the former year,
and S364.311 200 in the latter; SO that the whole
volume Of foreign trade increased from $430,-
307.915 TO S623. 70S O55 or nearly 45 per cent in
four years. Twenty years ago the total of
Australian foreign trade was less than $1O2
head of the population: now it is more than $151
a head, while that of the United Kingdom itself
is less than s105 head.
II is, however. more as a commercially inde-
pendent nation than as a member Of the British
Empire that Australia is making this advance.
While its foreign trade has been thus increas-
ing. the British proportion OF it, or more par
tcularly Of the imports into the Commonwealth
has been steadily declining, and this in spite of
preferential tariff rates specially intended to
stimulate British trade. In 1887 no less than
72-26 per cent Of Australian imports were from
the United Kingdom and 1880 per cent more
from ;he rest of the empire. In 1897 the per
cen5agc from the United Kingdom had fallen 70
G6.22, and that from the rest of the empire to
1872 In 1907 that from the United Kingdom
only 81 &c. and while that from the rest of
the empire rose 10 1880 the total OF British i'm
ports showed decline The total loss In
twenty years more than 10 per cent. an
the proportion of imports from the whole en-
pire in 1901 was only n trife more than that
from the United Kingdom alone in 1857.
More significant still is the character of the
imports which Australia is getting in ncreas-
ing quantities from other lands than Great
Britain. If they were timber, kerosene, tobacco,
