The Political Novel.
The London Times

lIhe London TimeS.)
When political novel lie on tho
table, n there is time to g~eneralize
about them. one question inevitably
arises-Did not Disraeli write the
political novel. once for all. so well
that no other political novels count?
Even it things are not really quite 50
bad as that a good case for the thesis
could easily be made out. DisraeE, at
any rate. approached the task Of poll
teal novelist with advantages not pos
sessed by any OF his rivals or succe-
sors. He had an eye for politics, in ths
ense in which some men are said TO
have an ear for music. He knew the
political milieu. not as the scholar
knows his subject, but as the cockney
k1ows London. the c~ountryman the
country or the sailor the sea. That
is to say. his knowledge was first
hand. a part OF himself. and not ac-
CURED for the purposes Of his art. He
thought in political language, and
political imagery was the natural
adornnent Of his thoughts. The
mouse OF commons was to him what
1he mldd,e1class society Of the Mid
lands was to George Eliot. London to
ckenS the navy to Captain Marryat,
what WesSex is to Mr.. Hardy, India
to Mr.. Kipling and Dartnoor TO Mr..
Eden PhillpottA His normal vision
OF the pageant OF life-and life was
mainly a pageant to him-was a Wis
ION OF Whigs and tories. tadpoles and
tapers, c~oniending for power and
place. The two ~tocsins OF his soul were
the election "cry" and the division
bell. The only one Of his serious COM
Dedtors Of whom one can say as much
with even partial approximation to
the truth is Lytton: and Lytton was
only incidentally and occasionally A
oohtical novelist. One certainly can
not say 1t OF Trouope. Of Grenyit,e
Murray. OF Anthony Hope or OF II.

NINE FLAGS OR IRELAND.
Familiar Green Emblem is Rightly
LcinSter'S Only.

Familiar Green Emblem is Rightly
Leinster's Only.
Most of the. people OF Ireland. ex-
cept those OF the north, have made
up their minds that homo rule is at
hand. and at once their thoughts have
turned to b consideration Of a ma
tional flag. The golden harp on a
greer ground. that most Of us uppos
to be the Irish emblem, is, it appears,
the flag Of Leinster alone. and objec-
tons are raised to it's adoption as the
nauonat flag Of Ireland. There are
i other flags being discussed in the
Irish newspapers, nome having a
shamrock on it's design. The most
ancient of them is the spear and
serpent" established in remote days
to indicate the recovery Of Gaodhal
Gias from a snake bite by the rod Of
Moses. This is the most venerable Of
Irish flags, but there is some preju-
dice against the sinister figure Of a
snake on a national emblem, especial
ly as there are supposed to be no
snakes in Ireland.
Then there is the "red hand On a
white ground" which is the flag OF
the O'Neills and three crowns on a
blue field Of Munster. the p~arti-color-
ed coat of Connaught, and the King
enthroned Of Meath. Each of these
flags has its adherents. In fact. e,erv

pears to have admirers, most of them
being in favor Of the flag Of Leinster.
which is recognized all over the
world as being essentially Irish. It
1 was the green flag that flew at the
battle OF BOyne. n the color is be-
ing supported by some on the ground
that q blend Of blue and orange that
produces green is typical Of the union
OF north and south. Charles Stewart
Parnell is said to have thought the
green flag ill-omened, and to have ia
vored the golden harp on blue
ground. as used by Grattan's parl1a-
ment. Canadians. who have the no.
ton that under homo rule ireland
will have the same relation to Great
Britain as h Province of Ontario to
the Dominion OF Canada will not fail
to- note that there has never been an
agitation. born OF the people, promot-
ed by the newspaper. and stimulated
by prizes, for a national flag Of On

NEW MID-AFRICAN TRADE

Export Gazette

The meteeric rise OF the Katanr
(southernmost Belgian Congo) during
the pas year or so has added another
chapter to the wonderful record OF
South African development. The ex-
tension thither OF the British South
African Railway from RhOdesia open
ed the door to this fertile country.
Fully 20 per cent OF the imports into
the Katanga are OF British origin.
The railhead Is Q at Elixabethville.

become established there expect 10
become the railway center Of Africa
linked with Cairo on the north as il
is now with Cape Town on the south.
and with Membasa on the east, as it
will probably soon be with Lobito Bay
on the west.
The Katanga is rich agriculturally.
and the Con1ite Special du Katanga.
which owns the land and mineral
rights, is bringing in settlers in CON
siderable numbers, and with some
what checkered results so far, but
when these have done the arduous
work Of pioneering the industry the
katanga should be in a fair way to
rank among the worlds greatest ag-
riculturai producers. However, the
vast mineral wealth Of the Katanga
is the key to every form of progress.
1t has brought the railway across the
BROAD n practically unexpected
plains Of northwestern Rhodesia; it is
drawing toward itself through the
difficult deserts and forest Of Angola
a trunk line connecting with the West
Coast at Lobito Bay; it has already at
tracted capital to an estimated amount
of $50, 0o0, 900, and upon it's promise
Is based the varied enterprise which
IS building up a great market in the
heart OF Africa, a market which is in
~creasins its capacity 100 per cent an
nually. Discoveries Of gold bearing
quartz and lluvial gold are reported
from time to time. and at Ruwe tho
precious metal is known to exist, but
it is too early to say whether 1t is in
payable quantities. A few diamonds
have been found on the west Lualaba
and n Kundelurgu, and tin Is an as
set which has been proved to a limited
extent north Of the copper belt.
