Eczema began over the top of my
ear. It cracked and then began to
spread. I had three different doctors
and tried several things, but they did
me no good. At last one side of my
face and my neck were raw. The
water ran out of it so that I had to
wear medicated cotton, and it was so
int1amed and sore that I had to put
a piece of cloth over my pillow to keep
the water from it, and it would stain
the cloth q sort of yellow. The &C.

than three months before it was all

POLITICS IN ENGLAND.
Lord Hugh CeciPs Fight-Outlook
for Finance Bill.
Especial by French Gable to The Tribune,

London, June 12.-The most interesting poltl-
cal event is the appearance Of Lord Hugh Cecl
as a candidate represent the University OF
Oxford in Parliament as a successor TO John
Gilbert Talbot who Will not stand in the general
election. A most influential meeting was held
at Oxford to-day to support the candidate Evi-
IDENTIFY the majority Of the resident Oxford
electors want him. in spite of his record as q
Free Trader strenuously opposed TO tariff re-
form Whether the nonresident members VIII
insist upon having a tariff reformer as cand-
date is an open question.
The straight-out tariff men, who defeated him
at Greenwich and have plotted the expulsion OF
his brother Lord Robert Cecil, from Maryle-
bone are alarmed and indignant. They con-
slider il anomalous that oxford. after being a
stronghold of protection in Cobden's time should
be the refuge for a Free Trader who cannot find
another seat. They have dreaded the influence
of the Cecs Mr.. Balfour. and have been
bent upon driving both out of Parliament. Lord
Hugh. while a religious enthusiast, Is vivid
personality, with mordant wit, and speaks with
more moral earnestness than any man in public
life since Gladstone's voice was hushed.
While the finance bill has been read a second
time without a sign of discomfort on the Liberal
side, and is apparently certain to survive a pro
tracted committee stage, there is lack Of har-
mony on the Opposition benches The Unionist
IiohSA'uAS are cage. 10 nave Ile buCSei thrown
out by the Lords. but assert that MIR. Balfour
prefers to have it enacted and is carrying
Austen Chamberlain and Bonar Law with him.
1t is common talk in the smoking room of the
Commons that the King is behind Mr Balfour
and is anxious to avoid constitutional struggle
between the houses. II is not likely however
that there is the slightest foundation for these
rurnors The King is too experienced a consti-
Futonal sovereign to confer with leader Of an
opposition regarding a highly controversial
question when he has a Prime Minister

The most important question before the con-

gates but has not been formally stated by their
entertainers. This is the obligation of the col
oaies TO contribute Systematically TO the sup
port Of the navy, which keeps the highway of
the seas open. This was matter which Joseph
Chamberlain brought before the preniers when
he was Colonial Secretary, but did not succeed
in carrying Sir wilfrid Laurier with him. Lord
Elgfn did not press the subject further when the
second conference of Prerniers was held. but the
Earl of Crewe and Reginald McKenna are likely
TO do so when the Imperial Defence Conference
assemblies next month. The press conference
without doubt has been strongly influenced dur
ing the last week TO support the policy of colo
NAL contributions TO the British navy. Press
