THE HORXIXG OREGOXIA2T, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, ' 1905. BALFOUR GIVES IIP Campbell-Bannerman to Form New Cabinet: ROSEBERY TO BE LEFT OUT Xew Premier Defines Home-Rule Policy Which Will Satisfy Irish. Proposed Alliance of Labor and Irish Parties. LONDON, Doc. 4. The political crisis 5b the Tnlted Kingdom reached a cli max today when Arthur J. Balfour, the Premier, formally tendered the resig nations of himself and the members of his cabinet to King Edward, who ac cepted them. His Majesty has Invited Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman to an interview tomorrow morning, when he will offer him the mission of forming a cabinet. Sir Henry will acept the task and within a few days, even with-' In a few hours, a new government will be formed. tl may be stated as certain that Lord Rosebery will be entirely Ignored In the make-up of the cabinet and that John Morley will be one of the chief advisers of Sir Henry In drawing up the list of his official family, which will bep resented to His Majesty. Mr. Morley himself Is considered likely to go to the Indian ofllce and itl s prob able that Herbert Henry Asquith will be Chancellor of the Exchequer. The foreign affairs portfolio will go either to Lord Elgin or Sir Edward Grey, though the latter Is considerably like ly to be Secretary of the Colonies. New Premiers Home Rule Policy. One thing Is ertaln that Sir Henry Campbell-Banntrman haa explained his attitude on home rule for Ireland to those Liberal Jeaders who are known to be opposed to home rule on the lines of the last bills introduced in Parliament. Since his speech at Stir ling, which raised such a furore, Sir Henry has not made any statement, but ltl r confidently asserted In the clubs that he Is ready with a policy which will secure the adhesion of tho Nationalists and at the same time avoid raising the issue as one of the most prominent planks in his platform. There Is some uncertainty as to when the dissolution of Parliament will be ffctive. but It Is not considered probable until after the New Year. Alllanco of Irish and Labor. An Interesting feature of the polit ical situation is the prospect of a closer alliance between the Irish and the labor parties in the now Par liament. James Kelr Hardle. the So cialist -and independent member. In a political speech tonight frankly in vited such an alliance. He pointed out that 45 Labor members combined with 7r. Irish members would provide a voting strength which no government, however strong, could afford to ignore. ALLIES TAKE ANOTHER ISLAND Wright, Kay ?iCo.. Established 1872.

An explosion In the magazine o fthe citadel during the manufacture of cartridges injured eight artillerymen. Some of them wero seri ously hurt. poor immigrants, a few generations far ther back. On the contrary, we have reason to believe that the poor and even the uneducated prefer good government and bonest officials to corrupt goern nrsnt and dishonest officials. The multi tudes of the poor hae been voting, and on the whole as righteously and effect ively as those better off. in New York and Phlladephla. I would sooner trust the judgment of the poor man ,and the newcomer on almost any public ques tion than the Judgment of the man who despises the poor. By some deep law of our being contempt or arrogance gives a strange twist to the sight of the man who exercises It and spoils his opinion. Shall we complain, then, of the dema gogic leaders who deceive and mislead ignorant voters? Possibly, If we have never ourselves helped to vote dema gogues Into office. The fact is, that our schools- and universities do not turn out much good material for public leadership. Somo of this product is very disappoint ing. But there was never a time when the great body of the people stood more ready almost to worship honest, gener ous and devoted leaders. Whose fault is It in a land, crowded with churches, that such leadership Is as yet scarce? But the "grafters.' we are told, are for ever sucking tho blood of our cities. Let us be sure what "graft" is. The gratfer Is nothing new or peculiar to modern cities. He is the man who wants to have more than his share of the good things of life and succeeds in getting more than bclongt to him. He may be the president of a business company, or a city con tractor, or an alderman, or the power "behind the alderman, to whom corpora tions pay tribute. A woman who despises "grafters" may be a, grafter herself, if she is willing to spend Income for her own pleasure that comes to her through unrighteous ways. There is no "graft" in politics that is not also in business. There is no graft among the notorious that has not its counterpart among the resnectable. There Is nothlne about craft That ought to scare anyone who recollects tpe history of piracy or tho .slave trade. It Is nothing but our old enemy sclfirh ncfis or greed under a more vulgar name. It Is the enemy of all civilization, but It resides in no class more than in another. Thank God. not all men are selfish. Gen erosity, humanity and devotion are to be found In all classes. Let u? be frank to confess that the arch-enemies of good government are the Indifferent, the Idle, the luxurious, the noile who wish to do and to get as much Paying Cuban Patriots. HAVANA. Dec. 4. The payment of the last of the revolutionary soldiers' claims began throughout the Island today. WHO ARE THE GRAFTERS? Call for the Religion of a Noble Pub lic Spirit. Cor. Boston Transcript. Who now are the enemies of good gov ernment in our cities? Is it the mul titude of tho poor and illiterate peo ple? Is It our new immigrants, hardly able to read the English language, and unused to our institu tions?
