The Budget Rejected.

Despite the solemn warnings of Rose
berry. Morley and other peers the house
of lords has accepted the gage of battle
thrown down by the liberal ajority In
the commons and by rejecting the budget
has precipitated a national contest upon
the issue of prerogative. The majority
for rejection in the upper chamber was
overwhelming. 275 out OF total of 425
votes. In the commons the budget was
passed by a vote Of 379 to 149. a major
ity of go out of 52S. Thus in each cham
Der the verdict has been given in un-
mistakable terms of emphatic proposal
and rejection.
In the main the discussion of the SUBJ
ject by the peers was on an exception
ally high plane. 1t was noteworthy that
few of the peers undertook to dis
cuss the budget on its merits. Most Of
the speeches were addressed to the
broader, far more serious question of the
constitutional position of the house Of
lords and the possibilities OF an appeal to
the people on the issue created by rejec-
ton. The budget itself would probably.
as a separate proposition regardless of
political consequences, have been rejected
by an even greater margin. And on the
other hand it is believed to be likely that
IL 1t had not been for the radical eco
nomic departures OF the new scheme Of

The Sugar Frauds.

Six former employees Of the American
Sugar Refining Company, popularity
known as the sugar trust, are on trial in
New York, charged with conspiracy to
defraud the government out of import du-
ties. These men were in the positions Of
communication with the government
weighers and inspectors who, 1t is al
legged, were the active agents of fraud, in
making false returns to the customs
house upon which great sums in duties
were saved to the importers. Statements
made by their attorneys thus far in the
course Of the proceedings indicate that
their defense will be one of non-respon-
sibility and a lack of knowledge as to the
nature of the relations between the COM
pany and the government employees. In
other words 1t appears that the accused
men are going to point to those higher
up" as the ones actually guilty of the
conspiracy to defraud the government
1t has become plain that for some year
the government has been defrauded OF
untold sums through the Vaccinations of
dishonest individuals. working either for
their own interests or that of others
The full extent of these frauds is I'M
known. The natural assumption is that
the great corporation which controls the
sugar refiniE. business in this country has
been guilty Of conniving at if not actually
devising fraudulent processes. Possibly
through the prosecution of the men now
under accusation the full truth will be
known and further prosecutions will be
possible. The people will expect uncom-
promising pursuit of this case to the last
possibility of punishment. The conviction
of mere middlemen and go-betweens will
not suffice. Somewhere higher up there
Is some one responsible for these frauds
perhaps a group Of men. deliberately cal
culating upon the advantage to be de-
rived in trade from an evasion of Gus
toms duties. Upon them should fall the
hand of the law regardless Of their posi-
ton and standing in the world of law or

the grave risk Of an appeal to the people
on the issue of their right of participation
in fiscal legislation.

In hscal legislation.
AS to the future no man can foretell.
The situation is undoubtedly grave. The
most serious-minded men in England are
today apprehensive. The solemn warn
ings uttered by Rosebery and Morley in
the upper chamber were inspired by no
desire for passing advantage of influence
or for effect upon the public mind. They
will be read In years to come as ranking
with the most famous utterances in Brit
ish history. No partisan ends were to be
served by either man in seeking to stem
the tide of rejection. The fact that they
stood forth amid the solemn scenes of
debate in the house of lords and pro-
claimed the dangers attendant upon in
sistenee on the technical legislative pre-
negative of the upper chamber Is the
plainest proof that a crisis of the gravest
nature Is impending in England.
Parliament will be prorogued shortly
and the call for general election will
follow Immediately. There is no avoid
ance of a submission of this question to
the people, with all it's complexities and
Not for many years have
the voters In Great Britain been asked to
pass upon such a campaign issue. The
budget features would alone suffice to
furnish material for the most exciting
while to them now are added
the far graver questions of constitutional
limitation and possibly even the advisa-
bilty of a radical change in the form Of
the English government. Those who have
been for the last few years bewailing the
lack of interesting features in the Eng
lish elections will have no reason to COM
plain of the du1lness Of this campaign.

World Not Ready to Disarm.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
If all the men of all the nations were
to refuse to become soldiers there would
be peace. Count Tolstoy advocates this.
1t is a pleasing proposition. though 1t
savors of disregard of government and
tradition and all established things. 1t
is difficult to think of all the nations
without armies. How about the Negritos
in the Philippines and the scimitered SUBJ
jects Of the Sultan Of Sulu? How about
Russias own wild Tchulstchi and Gilyaks
and Yukaghirs? How about Great Britain's
burden Of Zulus and Bushmen? And the
head-hunting Dyaks of Borneo? And
Mexico's Yaquis? Would each and all Of
these peoples agree to lay aside the
spear and scalping knife, and turn to
agriculture and literature. Peace is most
desirable. If all Russians were to refuse
to become soldiers it would theoretically
be a good thing. If all Englishmen and
Frenchmen. if all Servians and Bulgarians
were to follow suit, how like the millen-
MUM it would be- But unfortunately,
all the world is not ready. A goodly
share of the world still likes to kill its
brother man, and the brother man Che of
Europe and America) must be prepared
yet for time to keep himself from get
ting too pronliscuously killed.

Secretary Meyers Reforms.
From the New York Times.

From the New 1Ork Times.
The Secretary of the Navy is, first of
all, a business man of experience and
sound judgment. In the Post Office De-
partment he gave proof of the possession
of those qualities. There some reforms
and changes that he had planned en-
countered Observation-Disclosures Of a polit-
cal nature Not much has been said
about them, but they were SO formidable
that it is understood that Mr.. Meyer will
ingly exchanged the Postmaster General
ship for the navy portfolio. In that depart
ment there was an opportunity, and he
was the man for it. The country has
heard much of the astonishing bureau
system. of the division and communion
of authority and responsibility, of the
jealousies of line and staff. and of the
confusion inevitably resulting from a
false and unavoidable method of admin
istration. Out of this chaos Mr.. Meyer
after months of diligent study and con-
ference has brought the beginning of or
der. That will be recognized as the
foundation. the primary quality of the
system he has now established.

The President and the People.

Where are the guards" inquired an
English visitor to the White House. His
American friend explained that no guards.
in the sense of soldiers. were necessary
This is the peoples house. All are well
come under the rules prescribed. Crowds
of visitors come and go. Some are merely
sightseers. and want only q look at the
premises. Others come for a word with
the President, and have but to send in
their cards. He is expecting US, and after
We take a walk through the house we
shall reach him without difficulty" AS
the two men walked away at the close
of the car the Englishman said to his
friend: Il now have more definite idea
of democracy in action
A still more definite idea of the subject
on much broader scale may at present
be obtained at the same place. The Presi-
dent is preparing a message to Congress.
He will deal with variety of important
questions OF general interest. He wants
all information obtainable He welcomes
every representative man with informa-
ton to impart. Many such men are call
ing. Some are in political office. Others
hold places of high trust in the business
world. Still others represent the great
interests of organized labor All are
cordially received and all meet the man
they want to see. The spectacle is one of
the many exhibitions of democracy in
action.
A particular case In point is that of
Samuel Gompers. who with friends called
the other day to discuss questions Of
moment to labor Last year he opposed
Mr.. Tafts candidacy for the presidency,
on the charge that while on the bench the
man now leading the republicans had rem
dered decisions inimcal to labor Organ
lied labor did not as a body, however,
follow Mr.. Gompers in that matter, and
Mr.. Taft, with large labor support, was
elected.
None OF this appears in the present
attitude of Mr.. Gompers toward the
President, or of the President toward MIR.
Gompers. They meet upon terms guar
anteeing full and fair conference. The
one Is still the head of organized labor,
and as such solicitous in labor's behalf
as to future legislation respecting labor.
The other as President of the United
States has the interests Of labor at heart.
and Is DESTROYS of knowing the labor
point of view.
Mr.. Taft IL temporarily occupying the
peoples house, and while there Is happy
to see the people. Representatives of
capital-even predatory capital-represent-
atives OF labor. politicians Of all parties
and men of leisure and pleasure interested
in no party, are equally at home under
their own roof. And what the President
shall say to Congress next week will
show the effect OF his being in close
touch with public sentiment and its I'm
f1uences

Overtures to Mr.. Hearst.

Further particulars appear In today's
news respecting overtures looking to the
return of William r. Hearst to the demo-
cratic fold. An orchestra in New York is
tuning up so as to be prepared to burst
forth at any moment with the old ditty,
Willie. We have missed you;
Welcome, welcome home"
Will Mr.. Hearst return? The question
in any other state would present difficult
ties Changing parties is new thing,
but changing them swiftly and often is.
But, politically speaking, all things seem
possible in New York. Men pass from
alliances to active enmities while you
wait. Tammany one year fights forces
whose support it enjoyed but the year
previous. while some of the most militant
reformers of the city have co-operated
with Tammany almost as often as they
have opposed and denounced it,
Mr.. Hearst's record shows both restless
ness and courage. A mere label is as
nothing in bis eyes. He has been demo-
crat, independence Lacquer and civil alli-
ANGER, all in three years-a party a year
He is now a civil alliancer. by the terms
of his latest campaign. His race for
mayor against Judge Gaynor was made
in those colors
Despite his swift changes, lie has a fol-
lowing. Last month he polled over
hundred and fifty thousand votes in
city normally democratic, and where
votes had been sought for regularly
nominated democratic ticket So there
are many men in New York capable of
as swift party changes as Mr. Hearst.
A return to the democracy in time for

paign would bring Mr. Hearst into fel.
lowship with Mr.. Croker. Mr.. Murphy.
Mr.. Corners and the leaders Of the So
called Saratoga movement. described as
trust lawyers seeking control Of the
democratic party for trust purposes. Well,
he has once been in association with
them. But on his own terms. If he as
sociates with them again it will probably
be on his own terms. He will ask to be
heard and needed on the subject of the
democratic candidate for governor next
year and the character of the platform
These overtures increase interest in the
talk OF Mr.. Roosevelt for governor. If
Mr.. Hearst gives his hand again to the
New York democrats he will strengthen
them In the state. and put the republi-
cans on notice that they must do their
best. All differences must be healed
Only the strongest man for head of the
state ticket will be able to carry the
ticket to victory. Hughes again. or

cussion. Each man has strength peculiar
to himself. Gov. Hughes did not want a
second term. but yielded to pressure. He
may not want a third, but probably
would yield again. Will the pressure be
applied?

poses to have a months flying meet in

event the bidding has been brisk, with the
odds in favor of the west. Philadelphia

more and Washington are each willing
to put up an equal amount Oakland.
Cal. and Portland, Ore, raise that sum
by $4,000. and St. Louis pledges herself
