JVothlns: to Indicate Tliat He Intends
Soon to Give Up the Premiership
or Mnnngc'inent of His Party.
LONDON, June 2. When London Is not
talking of peace in Soutn .Africa, and the
manner of its accomplishment, the topic
of the da is the dissolution of Parlia
ment and the possible retirement of Lord
Salisbury. Sir Howard Vincent writes to .
the Times declaring that the Premier's
withdrawal from the neCd of activity
would be nothing less than a calamity for
the universe. The Spectator surmises that
Lord Salisbury will give up the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, contenting himself
with being Premier only, and suggests
that Mr. Balfour should be given his
uncle's portfolio and be made a peer, -while
Mr. Chamber.ain should succeed the Mar
quis of Lansdowne as Secretary of State
for War and become government leader in
the House of Commons, these hypothet
ical changes to come after the dissolu
tion, which the Spectator recommends
should occur this year, and insists must
bo followed by a thorough reconstruction
of the Cabinet. Other weeklies and dallies
also refer to the possibility of Lord Salis
bury's retirement.
Inquiries made by the Associated Press
reveal the fact that there is not the
bUghtest ground for believing that Lord
Sa.isbury contemplates retiring, either
from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or
tho leadership of the party. He has never
mentioned such a contingency, and his
spirits are equally good, even to the point
which for him Is unusual Jocularity, while
his Interest In home and foreign affairs
is keener than ever. So It is safe to say
that if the Conservatives .are sucessful
at the forthcoming general election. Lord
Salisbury- will once more pilot the fortunes
of the war and the party.
The Outlook keen'.y diagnosed the Pre
mier's recent remarkable speeches, where
by he has gained the reputation of think
ing aloud, when it describes Mm. as "look
ing with a half-amused, half-pltlful gaze
on the hurly-burly." His utterances this
week were saved from being a mere col
lerilon of nlatltudes bv the frank dec
laration that "not a shred of independ-"'
ence" could be left td the Boer Republics.
This was intended to be taken as an an
swer to any peace-seeking messages that
President Kruger might be contemplat
ing. A decision anent the date of dissolu
tion Is still In the air. Mr. Chamberlain
favors an early appeal to the country,
but Lord Salisbury will not formally dis
cuss the matter until Lord Roberts so
shapes the military aspect of South Af
rica that there cannot be a shadow of
doubt as to the completeness of the Brit
ish victory.
Popular opinion has proclaimed the ad
vent of -victory, and whatever happens
henceforth in South Africa the Interest of
the British public will be little, unless
the event is endorsed by a peculiarly per
sonal element. The nation has made up
Its mind that the war Is over, trjat the
prestige of the British arms Is restored,
that President Kruger is vanquished, that
prceless territory has been annexed, that
humanity has not been staggered, and
that, led by that little "Sir Galahad,"
"Bobs," Great Britain's army has fulfilled
the mest optimistic expectations
It is scarcely surprising, in view of the
bewildering rapidity of Lord Roberts'
progress during the past week, that the
anxiety attendant on the initial reverses of
the war is completely forgotten In the
jubilation ot today, or that the troubles
still ahead of the army in South Africa
scarcely receive a passing thought. Nev
ertheless, among the few more irious
mlnded, who hive intimate knowledge of
the Boers and the plans of the War Of
tir fhere exist crave apprehensions of
developments In the near future. In the
systematic retreat of the Boers they see
the possibility of long-drawn-out guerrilla
fighting, treks into Rhodesia. Internal dis
organization in the Transvaal due to the
bandits, and a thousand and one lawless
elements that evolve themselves from a
heterogeneous army after It ceases to be
come an organized body.
Some of the acute authorities on South
African matters say Major-General Fred
erick Carrington's work in Rhodesia may
only begin when Lord Roberts nmsnes.
Such speculation, however, can only be
left for time to prove, and this war, so
far. has abounded in surprises which have
completely upset the surmises of those
best fitted to express opinions.
Probably the most reasonable forecast
of Immediate developments in the Trans
vaal can be gained by reviewing the
events In the Free State, or Orange River
Colony. There, though the country is for
mally annexed and is subjected to a win
nowing process by a long line of British
troops, virile opposition atill exists. The
preponderance of numbers is bound to
eventually reduce the inhabitants to sub
jection, and so it will be probably with
the Transvaal, the occupation of Pretoria
and Johannesburg being followed by op
erations similar to those uninteresting
movements now undertaken by Generals
Bundle and Brabant, in the Orange River
Colony.
The fact of the" Duke of Connaught hav
ing taken Lord Francis Clinton Hope's
Castle Blarney, County Monaghan. for the
season, with the option for Ave years,
seems to indicate the establishment of a
royal residence in Ireland. The Duke of
Argyll announces that Invernary Castle,
with Its Immense domain. Is for rent,
and England Is wondering what American
millionaire Is likely to occupy this historic
mansion.
One of the most remarkable though
pothumous exposures of the looseness
of English life In nigh places came up
this week when Mrs. Brinkworth sued
the estate of William Beckett, a former
member of Parliament, for continued sup
port of herself and her alleged children.
Mr. Beckett was head of one of the
wealthiest private banking firms In Eng
land. It now transpires that Mrs. Brink
worth lived as his mistress for man;
years, and that the couple amused them
selves by buying children, which ther
passed off as their own, as Beckett wished
to use the children to "bluff" his own
family In consenting to the payment of,
large sums to his mistress. Mrs. Brink-
worth was nonsuited. The executor of the
estate sued is Ernest Beckett, son of the
man who lived such a double life. He Is
also a member of Parliament, and owns
one of the finest houses In Piccadilly,
where the Prince of Wales is often en
tcrtalned.
Encouraged by the remarkable success
of amateur charitable performances of
the past Winter, London society women,
wearied of other forms of excitement,
propose to appear on a. nruslc-hall stage,
which will not only afford themselves en
tertainment, but will give the public a
chance to review the fashionable gowns
which are ordinarily restricted to Ascot
or the Sunday park parade. The idea had
its inception with a Mayfair modiste, anx
ious to display costumes of her making.
She met with a hearty response from her
fashionable customers.

The proposed municipal In

invitation to public extrava
gance. Keep the counties of
the state on a cash basis.
The present $5000 constitu
tional provision was designed
to enforce economy and pru

155. Vote Against It"
A
The personal status of President Kru
ger since he left the capital Is creating
some discussion. A representative of the
Associated Press learns that Lord Salis
bury will consider him to be President of
the" South African Republic until Lord
Roberts is read' to annex that territory.
Hence, wherever President Kruger may
be. even if he goes Into Portuguese terri
tory, any communications which he might
make to the British or other governments
looking to a cessation of hostilftles would
receive official recognition and be an
swered, though It Is safe to say Lord
Salisbury would merely refer President
Kruger to Lord Roberts. Some such mes
sage from "Oora Paul" Is now expected
at the foreign office. If the Indicated line
of procedure In answering It is carried
out it can result in nothing unless Presi
dent Kruger Is willing to assist Lord
Roberts in persuading the people to lay
down their arms.
On one thing the British Government Is
determined. I. c. President Kruger
cannot stay In the Transvaal. In the
event of his capture he must be trans
ported, not necessarily in durance, but he
must be got out of the territory which
Lord Salisbury expects will shortly be
part of the British Empire. Every effort
w'l be made to capture President Kruger.
but the government officials are inclined
to believe he will manage to get Into
Portuguese territory, where the British
will be unabie to touch him.
One of the most curious features of the
closing chapters of the great war is the
oblivion into whlrh General Buller has
fallen. A few months ago it was Buller
who would stem the tide of Boer inva
sion; It was Buller who would enter Pre
toria on Christmas day. Tct now General
Buller Is scarcely mentioned. Generals
French. Hamllt6n and others ar all more
frequently talked of and cheered than the
former Commander-in-Chief, wfio seems
to have become a negllgable quantity in
the shadow of the Blggarsberg.
Words fail to describe the national
gratefulness to Lord Roberts. Welling
ton was never to England what Roberts
Is today In the eyes of the general pub
He. A dukedom and the Order of the
Garter, at tho Queen's disposal, through
the death of the Duke of Argyll, are the
least rewards that could be bestowed on
h'm. Conscientious military critics occa
sionally 1ry to bring In Lord Kitchener's
rame, but" their efforts have smalt effect
on the popular sentiments.
One evidence of Lord Roberts capablll-
A NEW DON QUIXOTE.
Affairs in America as Viewed by
Madrid Opinion.
Brooklyn Eagle.
It Is of interest to observe that accord
ing to the Madrid Imparclal, "it is re
ported that President McKlnley will be
forced to resign next Fall, and that Gen
eral Shatter, the military autocrat who
ruled Cuba, will be successor." The Im
parclal adds: "It Is known that the two
men are enemies, and recently had a pub
lic quarrel In the Senate, where President
McKlnley was presiding, which was pre
vented from becoming a National affair
only by the interference of Colonel Bryan,
Governor of the Province of Boston. Not
all of the American people approve the
high-handed rule of McKlnley in the is
lands, and a revolution may result if he
does not abdicate, as the freedom party
is strong and determined, and is gathering
arms In large quantities near New York
and Florida, to march on Washington,
the site of the palace on the Mississippi,
from which McKlnley issues his edicts."
Surely this comes appropriately under
the head, "important if true."
El Liberal, moreover, not to be outdone
by the political Don Quixote of the Im
parclal, Insists that Admiral Dewey "had
to undergo the fate of Catiline, and be
"banished," not from Rome, it is true,
but, what may seem to him worse, from
Washington. El Liberal has these sapient
remarks on the subject: "It Is not al
ways best to be a hero, at least not in
the United States, where the people s;cm
to rapidly forget the huzzas they lav
ished on Admiral Dewey. For sinking a
few light wooden hulks, many unprotect
ed even by a sheath of Iron, the Ameri
cans lauded him as the Naval liero of
all history. Within a year they have for
gotten, and he is now on a tour of the
country, banished from the Capital, where
he Is unwelcome. He has been informed
that his popularity was dangerous and
distasteful to President McKlnley. and he
went at once before the people for en
dorsement. But his reception has been
very cold, and at Pennsylvania, one of
the largest of the seacoast cities, the men
of the fleet mutinied and refused to fire
salutes for the Admiral until several were
whipped at the triangle."
To "pepper higher" is obviously the cue
of El Mateo, a Journalistic bantling, which
first saw the light only two or three
months ago. The news that there is to
be an uprising of armed men In the
United States will well be "viewed with
alarm" by the War Department when it
gets around to El Mateo and Its weighty
contents. That Influential Journal adds:
"The men now In command seem to real
ize the nearness of their danger, and are
making desperate attempts to stem the
tide of disfavor. General Roosevelt, Gov
ernor-General of New York, who received
his post In return for his servlcea in the
war. has already sent bodies of troops to
guard the cnnals near Canada, one of
the principal cities, by which the Invaders
threaten to descend on Washington. The
situation Is very serious, and shows how
much opposed the Americans were to the
war which was forced upon Spain."
Yet a good many swallow the Idea that
the Spanish race is almost destitute of
the sense of humor. Perhaps it is. But
how about its capacity to develop the
sense of humor in others? The Don
Quixotes of the Madrid press have placed
us under obligotions. They have lightened
"life's dull round." But where are their
Sancho Panzas?

The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep
tive. Many sudden
deaths are caused by
it heart disease,
pneumonia, -heart
failure or apoplexy
are often the result
of kidney disease. If
kidney trouble is al
lowed to advance the
kidney-poisoned
blood will attack the
!S. vital organs or the
kidneys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles most always result from
a.derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain In passing It, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar
sized bottles. You may
have a sample bottle of
this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that
tells all about It, both

The lesson to tho3e with enfeebled con-"
stltutlons, weak lungs or a tendency to
bronchial trouble or consumption, of the
vital opportunities that Spring and Sum
mer offer them.
The best teaching is the teaching that
will save" the most lives.
And this lesson to those with the slight
eat predisposition to consumption will save
more lives than any that can be taught.
In the Spring and Summer catarrh may
be more speedily cured: with Nature help
ing the work, the result Is more certain;
after the cure the constitution resumes lt3
normal condition more quickly; those so
feeble that they should not even expose
themselves to the weather during the Win
ter may visit the offices, and are helped in
the progress of treatment rather than in
jured by the exposure to outdoor air.
This Is what the opportunity of the
Spring end Summer months mcans
Indeed, with many of the more serious
cases where long-neglected catarrhal dis
eases invading the bronchial tubes which
convey the air to the lungs, has taken lt3
advance into the tissues of the lungs
themselves, has reached the end of the
road lined with the mucous membrane
upon which it lives and feeds, and finding
no new tissues .settled down to feed upon
the lung cells with many of these serious
caees, treatment during the Spring and
Summer months is the only hope. Little
if any help can be promised them during
the Winter.
It Is. then, during the Spring and Sum
mer that catarrh m Its earlj stages-, in
volving, maybe, the nasal passages and
throat and vocal cords and windpipe, may
be most speedily cured, and the danger of
its extension Into the aeeper part of the

in power in the State of Maine. If it
were, depend upon it tho prohibitory laws
would be enforced to the letter. Unfortu
nately, the enforcement of the law Is In
the hands of a party that In the interest
of its National life must wink at viola
tions. Fcr this plain evasion of duty the
party is not seriously! to be blamed. It
must do It or die, and dead parties do
not elect Presidents.
When the Christian and temperance vot
ers of tho Nation reach the- common
sense conclusion that prohibition laws
can only be enforced by a party created
for and pledged to that end, then and not
until then will the laws against the sale
of intoxicating liquors be honestly en
forced. I. H. AMOS.
The State of Maine is in power of the
Republican party, a party that has con
sented Jo the request to place prohibition
in the constitution and the statutes of
the etate; a party that has answered in
the affirmative to every appeal of the
Prohibitionists to Ironclad the original
3tatute with a Draconian code of amendments.
If, under these circumstances, there is,
after more than 50 years of experiment, no
efficient public opinion behind the prohib
itory law in Maine, is that an argument
in favor of prohibition? la It not rather
clear proof that statutory prohibition in
evitably becomes "free rum" or regula
tion In universal violation ot the law?
It Is very clear that the practical ex
periment of prohibition- In the form of an
Ironclad statute for 50 years has not con
verted public opinion to support of the law,
which has become practically nothing but
regulation In violation and contempt of the

INDORSED BY HIS COLLEAGUES
"R. F. Robinson, the Republican nomi
nee for County School Superintendent. Is
exceptionally well qualified for the posi
tion to which he aspires." said a promi
nent school man of this city to an Orego
nian reporter last evening. "He has al
ready satisfactorily filled a similar po
sition In Polk County, and is. therefore,
thoroughly acquainted with the duties of
the office. His record in Polk County led
to his call to the princlpalship of the
Central School of this city, where he has
worked continuously for 12 years. It
would seem that his record of stability of
purpose and recognized worth ought to
recommend Mr. Robinson to his feliow
cltlzens. He has never been a nomad,
wandering from one school of little note
to another: but has done the work he
found nearest him. and done it so well
that his friends are confident that he will
now be called to step up higher."

The UnmnsUlnjr of Afrnlnaldo.
Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Senator Spooner has unmasked this false
god so effectually that the Populists and
tho Democratic politicians will hereafter
be asharned to glorify him. The heart
warm patriotism of Spooner, in speaking
of the action of the American people
toward the oppressed Cubans, was just
such enthusiasm as the people like, because
it proves that the Wisconsin Senator fully
appreciates the nobility of our masses as
illustrated In the American policy since
Cuba has dropped into our hands. He
pertinently asked: "When, since the morn
ing stars first sang together in the heav
ens, has any people done for another peo
ple what we have done for Cuba? "
Every word of this Is true, and will be
appreciated by those who traveled in
Cuba when she was under the Spanl3n
yoke. No language can fully express the
barbarism, the relentless oppression and
the grinding taxation which Cuba ha3
suffered under the iron heel of Spain. To
day the Cubans are as free from opprra.
sion as are the people of Wisconsin. All
history may be searched in vain fpr a
parallel to the benefits our Nation hn3
conferred upon a people who are not our
kinsmen nor of our race: but who were
sore sufferers from man's inhumanity, to
man. The people love the defense by an
American Senator of the grand act ot a
country which entered upon an expensive
and perilous war solely In the cause of
God and humanity.
