 The Brooklyn Eagle notes the mania that infects the American people for additional and new laws to make man. acts of Congress and of the Legisla- lures. The Idea Is that the American people are not governed sufficiently and even a more vicious and false idea is prevalent, adhered to by the leaders of both political parties that ma Jorfty can do no wrong and that a minority has no rights that majority

 /For centuries there was a bitter con flict in England between prerogativa hence the bill of rights. hence the act of settlement; and the happy condition now prevails when the subject has the largest liberty consistent with public order and the crown is stripped of every flower of privilege unnecessary

SPANISH CABINET HAS RESIGNED.
Headed by the Premier, the Whole
Body Stepped Out Of Office.

Madrid, Oct 21.-The Spanish Cabi-
net, headed by Premier Maura, re-
signed this afternoon.
The Cabinet was formed January 25,
1907, with the following ministers:
Premier, Senor Maura; foreign af-
fairs, Senior Allendesalazer; justice,
Marques de Figuerroa; finance, Senor
Besada; interior. Senor de Lacierva;
war, General Linares; marine, Senor
Fernandez; agriculture, commerce
and public works, Senor Sanchez
Guerra, and education, Senor Rodri-
guez San Pedro.
Preceding the formation of this Cab
met there had been no less than five
Liberal ministries in eighteen months.
The religious issue had been the rock
on which these ministries were wreck
ed, and the accession to power of Sc
nor Maura, who had before held the
premiership, was regarded as sweep
ing victory for the Clericals, and one
likely to arouse revolutionary spirit.
This proved to be the case, the oppo-
sition finally uniting against the gov
.ernment's conduct and furtherance OF
the war in Morocco. The stern meas
ures taken to put down the war by
the government of Spain tended to in
lame the opposition, and the execu-
ton of Ferrer, followed by popular
demonstrations Of disapprova1
brought matters to crisis.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.
Trade and Industrial DEVELOPMENTS
Are Largely Favorable.

New York, Oct. 23.-Bradstreet's
Review of Business today says:
Trade and Industrial DEVELOPMENTS
are largely favorable. Continued cool
weather furnishes marked stimulus to
demand for heavy wearing apparel,
dry goods, clothing and shoes, and
also benefits demands for hardware,
groceries, lumber and building mate
rials at retail in most markets. De-
mand for coal has been perceptibly
quickened for steam sizes. The liquor
trades also display more life, which
may be variously attributed to wealth
er influences or the renewal of con-
sumption made possible by improved
pay-rolls in general industry. job
bing trade is good for the season.
There is still evidence of conserva-
tism bred of higher prices asked for
cotton goods for distant delivery, but
the general tendency is still upward
and staple products are selling better
at advanced prices. In general in
dustry the previous full pace is main
tanned. Iron and steel easily lead
with record production for the season.
Business failures for the week end
ing October 21 were 244 against 22O
last week, 231 in like week of 1908
220 in 1907, 1874 in 1906, and 178 in
1905.

towns before Dallas is reached at s.: SO
o'clock in the evening.
In Dallas a public address will be
delivered at the Texas State Fair
grounds and in the evening the Pres
ident will be the guest at banquet
given by the Dallas business men.
The President will remain in Dallas

Grafton of governors of all states and
territories in a nationwide campaign
for safe and sane celebration of in
dependence day in every hamlet, town
and city throughout the country is the
object of movement now being inau-
gurated.
The plan contemp1ates the forma-

ton of the Fourth, the appointment as
honorary chairman of President Taft,
in view of his Endorsement of Wash
ington's accidentless Fourth, the ap-

PATRICK MCARREN DEAD.
State Senator and Democratic Leader
of Brooklyn Died This Morning.

New York, Oct. 22.-Patr1ck H. Nc
Carren, state senator and Democratic
leader of Brooklyn, died at st. Cath
crimes Hospital, Brooklyn, at 1:15
this morning, never having completely
rallied from the effects of an opera
ton for appendicitis which was per-
formed on October 13. His death was
not unexpected, in fact, the Senator
himself realized throughout the after
noon and the earlier part of the night
that his end was near.
Senator McCarren remained fully
conscious all day. He said to the ply
sicians in consultation over him to-
day:
Gentlemen, know what you come
here for. There is no need for a con-
sultation. I knew I was dying the
day I walked into this hospital. I
have made study of my own case,
and l find that my trouble is an old
heart and an old stomach. If you
replace them with new ones there
might be chance of my getting bet
ter
One of the pathetic features of Sen
ator McCarren's illness was that his
aged mother was not apprised of his
condition. She thought that the cam
paign had kept him from home and
Senator McCarren had insisted that
she be kept in ignorance for fear that
the shock would be too great for her.

Gaynor (Democrat) by $4,000.
Hearst Independently by $4,000.
The confidence expressed by all the
campaign managers was pointed out
by many observers tonight as a fur

character of the support upon which
the candidates depend and Of the
breaking down to great extent OF
party lines in the consideration OF
New York municipal problems.
There were more than a hundred

THE LAST LOOK.
fr,dwin NJ Enliar.l

edwin w. Fuller.)
Do not fasten the lid of the coffin
down yet;
Let me have long look at the face OF
my pet
Please all quit the chamber and pull
to the door,
And leave me alone with my darling
once more.
Is this little Ethel, so cold, and SO
still!
Beat, beat, breaking heart, 'gainst
Gods mystic will,
Remember, o Christ, thou didst dread
Thine own cup,
And while I drink mine, let Thine arm
bear me up.
But the moments are heeting: I must
stamp on my brain,
Each dear little feature, for never
again
Can I touch her; and only God meas
ures how much
Affection a mother conveys by her
touch.
Oh, dear little head, oh! dear little
hair.
So silken, so golden, so soft, and so
fair,
Will I never more smooth it? Oh!
help me, my God,
To bear this worst stroke Of the chas-
tening rod.
Those bright little eyes that used to
feign sleep,
Or sparkle so merrily, playing at peep,
Closed forever! And yet they seemed
closed with sigh,
AS if for our sake she regretted to
die.
And that dear little mouth, once so
warm and so soft,
Always willing to kiss you, no matter
how oft,
Cold and rigid, without the least trem-
or of breath,
How could you claim Ethel, o pitiless
Death!
Her hands! No, twill kill me to think
how they wove
my daily existence a tissue
of love.
Each fingers print upon memory's
page,
That will brighten, thank God, and not
dim with my age.
Sick or well, they were ready at every
request
To amuse US; sweet hands! they de-
serve a sweet rest.
Their last little trick was to wipe
"Bo-peep's" eye,
Their last little gesture, to wave us
goodbye.
Little feet! little feet, how dark the
hearts gloom,
your patter is hushed in that
desolate room!
For oh! twas a sight sweet beyond
all compare,
To see little "Frisky' rock back in
her chair.
o Father! have mercy, and grant me
Thy grace
70 see, through this frown, the smile
on Thy face;
To feel that this sorrow is sent for the
best,
And to learn from my darling a les
son of rest.
