By keeping that fact in mind, errors may be avaided which would have the effect of nullifying the entire ballot se far as that office is concerred The attention of the public ic directed to this mat- ter because considerable numbers of intelligent citi- zens take so little interest in the details of politics that they are likely to make mistakes in preparing their ballots. It is desirable to have every ballot rightly prepared and fairly counted, and to that end care must be taken to avoid the mistake which a lack of explicit instruction upon the ballot itself renders so liable to occur. e Cecil Rhodes is chagrined, it is said, because he can expect no very warm reception when he reaches London.

And now there is a proposition on foot to give Vic- toria the title of Queen of Australia. The old lady probably thinks that baving the game she may as well have the name. Several of our local prize-fighters say that they will go East if they win in the ring here. Let them feel that they have our sincerest hopes for their imme- diate success. - — As soon as the election is over the public will ind the South African news again interesting.

BRYAN has gone among farmers in the grain belt to discontent them with their con- M dition and stir them to a change by misrepre- ! senting comparative prices. In Kansas he told them | that, while the price of their product had advanced | somewhat, the rise in manufactured articles was so | much greater as to leave them worse off than in 1896. | Descending to details, he said that a trust had put up the price of Studebaker farm wagons so much that | it takes more bushels of corn to buy a farm wagon In 1806 the price of a This | 1 | | | | now than four years ago. Studebaker farm wagon in Kansas was $62 50. vear it is $70, an advance of 12 per cent. In 1896 the Chicago price of corn was 22 cents a bushel. The day he made his statement it was a frac- tion over 41 cents. Therefore in 1806 it took 284 bushels of corn to buy a wagon, and this year it took 170 bushels to buy the same wagon, saving to the farmer 114 bushels of corn, worth $46 74. The num- ber of bushels of corn required to buy a wagon in 1806 | was this year at that date worth $116 44, or within $8 of the price of two wagons at the figure of 1806. Following Bryan's lead the Populist press of Kan- | <as widely published the statement that this yvear it takes 50 per cent more wheat to buy a stove than in 1806, 20 per cent more corn to buy a wagon, twice as | much corn to buy a coil of rope. 40 per cent more grain to buy a plow, and 100 per cent more to buy | a copper kettle, and all farm machinery in the same ratio. These wild statements set the farmers themselves | to figuring, and they found that a heating-stove which | cost 14 in 1806 costs only $15 now: a cook-stove { was $32 50 then and is $35 now. Four years ago wh in Kansas was 44 cents. At the date of these calcula tions this vear it was 50 cents. Therefore four years ago it took 3134 bushels to buy a heating stove. this vear it took only 257 bushels, saving the farmer $3 60. Four years ago the farm price of corn in Kan- sas was 117 cents. This year it was 33 cents. At " | the farm price it took 282 bushels of corn to buy a This year it took only 113 bushels, sav- | cook-stove. ing 160 bushels, worth $55 07. | A walking plow costs $1 more than in 1806. A rid- | ing plow, then costing $53, is now $60. The Populist | press, following the false lead of Mr. Bryan, said it | took 40 per cent more grain to buy a plow now than then!

The warmth with which the Democratic dispenser of hot air is being attacked by uncomfortable questions makes 1t reasonable that he should seek to retain some freezing | comfort. BRITISH DIPLOMACY. | ALISBURY'S selection of the Marquis of S Lansdowne to succeed him in the office of Sec- retary of State for Foreign Affairs has raised | a storm of-protest in Great Britain, and will be noted | with surprise in other countries. The complexities and difficulties of international diplomacy were never greater than at this time, nor did Britain ever have more need of a strong, wise man in her Foreign | Office; and yet the Prime Minister, in the flush of | power newly given him by the people, selects for ap- | pointment to that place in his Cabinet a man whose | record in the War Office shows him to be utterly in- fcapahle of dealing properly with large affairs or acting promptly in emergencies. | been the cause of bitterness of spirit to the British | ever since the war in South Africa broke out. No | man in the Ministry has been subject to keener ecriti- ! cism in Parliament and out of it, and none more | thoroughly deserved it. Almost every department of | the War Office administration was found to be weak | and inefficient when the trial came. Most of the evils | lowing out of the bad administration were due to sheer negligence, or possibly incompetence, but some | of them were of a nature that amounted to scandals. | The food furnished the troops was found at one time | to be as bad as the embalmed beef that aroused so | much condemnation in this country during the war | with Spain, and the wretched supplies furnished for | the hospital service created an indignation that stirred }the whole nation and led to a parliamentary inquiry. ! So overwhelming was the public condemnation of | Lansdowne that it was regarded as a sure thing that !in the reconstruction of the Ministry after the elec- | tions he would be removed from 11\2 War Office. In- | deed, during the campaign the Ministry had to assure the public of that change in order to carry the elec- | tions. Nothing helped Salisbury more than the an- nouncement that Roberts is to be made commander- | in-chief and a new War Secretary appointed to co- | operate with him in reforming the whole military | branch of the Government. That promise, it appears, is to be kept in a way that will be almost worse than breaking it. What will it profit the empire to remove | an incompetent man from control of the War Depart- | ment and place him in control of the Foreign Office | at a time like this? The only explanation that has thus far been given of the selection is that Salisbury, while feeling him- self unable to act in the double capacity of Foreign Minister and Prime Minister, has chosen to put in | the office from which he retires a man who will be | subservient and compliant to himself. Evidently | Salisbury does not wish another Chamberlain in his Cabinet, nor has he any intention of giving more authority to that ambitious statesman. Whatever may be the explapation, the outlook is certainly far from pleasing to the British public, and possibly the denunciations which_ have followed the announcement of the choice may force Salisbury to revoke it. In the present situation of affairs in China and elsewhere Great Britain cannot afford to take | Lansdowne's administration ot the War Office has | chances with an old and nearly exhausted man as Prime Minister and a bungler as Foreign Secretary. If Salisbury holds on his course British influence in diplomacy for a while at least is going to be of a purely negative kind, and it is doubtful if Parliamenc and the public will long submit to such a situation. S — THE RANGE LEASES. E have referred to the digest of Australian Wla.nd laws, procured by the legislative commit- tee of the National Livestock Association. | Commenting upon the leasehold system Colonel | John F. Hobbs, editor of the National Provisioner, New York, says: “I spent six years in Australia, in a position to know the feeling of the pastoral tenants and the conditions surrounding those dry grazing areas. The acts of the Australian Parliament which provide for and regulate the leasing of these grazing Jands are really formed after consultation with the | rangers and an investigation of the conditions of | these ranches. In fact, the various acts of Parliament from time to time are but a series of improvement stages in legislation which are suggested by the ex- perience of the pastoralists themselves, and are in- | tended to perfect the system and the conditions of the | crown land lessees. In other words, the tenants of the | arid districts virtually made these laws to fit the graz- ing conditions as they found them, by coming in prac- | tical contact with them. Free ranges in Australia | were the most unsatisfactory of all ranges. Under j the free range system ‘cattle duffing,’ outlawry. confu sion and range-jumping were inevitable. The crown tenant would prefer the freehold first, the leasehold next and free range the last of all. hold he has some protection for his stock chance for himself. As a free ranger he is only a prospector for some green-eyed competitor. The lease system has done more to develop the arid dis- tricts and build up the livestock industry of Australia | than was ever done by either the freehold system or | the old free range system, and that is the impartial view of it.” | Our own people will recognize in this an almost exact analogy with conditions in this country. The committee expects now to get from Texas a | complete statement of the effect of the leasehold sys- tem applied to the arid ranges of that State. It is riot without interest that the stockmen of Texas op- posed leasing, but the State entered upon the policy as a means of revenue. Now, with a few years’ ex- perience in it, the stock men would oppose a return | to the free range more stoutly than they opposed the | and a leasehold under which they have prospered. The bar- | ren ranges have been restored. The forage is re- newed, aridity has decreased and the profits of the | stock men and of the State treasury have steadily in- creased. It is worthy of note that Colonel Hobbs says the | Australian laws originated with the runholders them- selves. That must be the case here. Whenever the stock men will agree upon an experimental statute we have no doubt Congress will pass it. No one should | expect that it will be perfect, but it will be a begin- ning upon which a system may be buiit, as in Aus- tralia. If its adoption be left optional with counties, as it should be, it will be an improvement on the Aus- tralian plan, for experiment in a few counties will test the fitness of the law, and it may be more easily im- proved than if it were a blanket statute. The Call hopes to see an aroused interest in this subject. California is involved in its right adjustment, for it carries with it questions of irrigation of su- preme importance to this State. R — MICHAEL DAVITT'S DENIAL. S in a OME days ago a dispatch from London pub- lished in The Call stated that the Pretoria cor- respondent of the London Standard had communication to his paper thrown new light upon Michael Davitt’s experiences the Transvaal. The dispatch went on to re- port the statements of the correspondent at somse | length. In the report Mr. Davitt was quoted as hav- |ing said to a friend: “I came out here at my own expense. It has cost me £300. I was full of enthu- | siasm for these people. They knew my feelings, but they never trusted me. To-day they refused to give me information as to the situation for my papers, and I go away broken and sick at heart. I am thoroughly disillusioned.” Furthermore, Mr. Davitt was reported to have said | by way of explaining his disillusionment that he had seen the Boers abandon strong positions fighting, and that he was convinced: “Their purpose s to prolong the busiress without seriously meaning to fight, for the one object of heaping up bars of gold they are taking from the mines and accumulating them and hoarding them in obedience to the dictates | of that old man Paul Kruger.” To this report as a whole Mr. Davitt has made de- nial in a letter to his paper. He denounces the cor- respondent of the Standard and says: “His character for honorable journalism and his appreciation of Boer Lospitality may be gauged from the fact that he stands alone, among all the correspondents, American, | English, Continental and Irish, who were with the | Boer forces, as the solitary libeler of their conduct and | actions, and malignant calumniator of the Govern- ment and people of whose hospitality he partook. | He was careful, of course, to conceal these views while working with other correspondent;. They were re- | served for expression when he was 10 go over to the English side and tid farewell to the Mendlessohns and | Bruces, who could employ him no more in the jour- | valistic service of the Boer cause.” | After further review of the course of the Standard | correspondent, Davitt concludes by saying: “I recol- | lect with some little amusement now the fact that | while T was with the Boer forces T was repeatedly : threatened with summary punishment at the bayonet's | point or a Lee-Metford muzzle if I was once found | within convenient distance of such ministers of British ‘jus!ice. Now, six months afterward, it is discovered | that T was ‘disillusioned’ by my experiences of Boer fighting, and was really an opponent of President ! Kruger all the time. I have the satisfaction of knowing what the members of the Boer Government think on the whole matter.” | As the statements of the Standard correspondent were given a wide circulation it is but fair Mr. Davitt's | reply should have an equal notice. The issue is some- | thing more than a personal one between rival corre- spondents, and accordingly we have directed attention to it in order to do justice to Davitt and remove from . the patriots of the Transvaal the stigma which he was reported to have put tpon them. ! After all these years some one has just discovered that the right arm of the Liberty statue in New York | harbor is out of plumb, and we may now expect forty | thousand people to rise up and swear they observed in | the fact the first time they saw the thing. | Lindooh.
