The conclusion which he leurhos Is
that In the ctisulntr apilng elections
care should be talten to elect cousin!)
lei who, in nddltlon to their other
ciuatlneiitlous, shall be tucp.ued to net
feailessly as guinp, file and llsh Wtir
e1on, under the iiuihoilty confetieil by
the act of lSSt. That act gives the
consttihle the light ot' soaich or nirest
without wui unit, allow him $10 for
pitch icnivlctloii under the game, fish
or foiestiy laws and niulces his Juils
dlt'tlon ui-ostoiislve with the llmltM of
the count v In which ho Is serving. Un
der the geneiat ganio law of 1SD7 tho
Infounei' teeelves one-lialf of nil lines
lecoveied, so that when the constable
Is the pioseotilor he gels us pay for his
services the ordinal y fee allowed an
oillcer for making an in rest, solving
impels, etc,, $10 otui from the county
and one-half of all flues lecoveied.
Thus he has both the power to en
force the law and a genet mm Incentive
to do It. If good men aie chosen for
this ofllce a clodded change for the bel
ter can bo ccpeeled In this as in many
other dliections affecting closely the

This pi lives, upon i aiiilnatlim of tho
i utile text, to have been eiieineous, tie
has ii dellnlte plan for ending tho
South Atilean win, He would mi.ingo
u meeting between some lepiesontatlve
ot the lu'lligeient lioeis and a lepiesen
tatlve ol Ills .Majeslj'.s govoininent, at
some neuti.il place, it meetlngi.ivowi d-
infotui.il in e Imi.ietei, and hu would
have the lpptpsciitutlvc of the llillish
goveininenl nsiottalii fienu tho upie
sentative of the Minus upon what
tonus, if any, eoinpniible with the dig
nity of the Uiltlsh emplie, a sill lender
could bo accomplished. It Is his opinion
that a frank and manly coufeienie
along Iheso lines would evolvo some
basis of seltleinent which would put
nn e.uly end to tho loug-ihnwu out
agony in South Afilue In a way to
make) possible, tho futuie upbuilding of
thu eouutiy to happy conditions under
English soveielgnty.
In olloiing tills suggestion I.nul Mose
beiy fiunkly avows his bellei' in Urn
necessity of letiiiulug bin eoiintl.v's
liold upon the coutiol ot South Afilea.
Anything less, p his opinion, would be
fatal not only to tho piosiigo of Client
Milialn but also equally hai infill to the
Ultimate best luteiosts ol .South Afllcn,
l.otcl nosebcuj, in oilier vvoids, is not a
"Little ihiglaneler," iuinIous to sec llio
scope of ills ccmull's iullueiuu cm

leaf or apology, Itcbpoiibiblllty does
not appall him. fu tho toutiaiy, hn
favois moio of it us a good means of
furnishing incentive to national vigor.
If ho weie an Ameilean It is cntholy
safe to assume that hi) would ho thu
last to go mound bemoaning that new
teiiitotliil lespouslbillty has como to
tho United .States. Mm ho chaws n linn
between .standing 111 inly for a national
position and sheer mullsliuess, It Is
not dilllcult to lead hi his wends the
thought that ho legmds many of the
ucts of the Ch.imbeil.iin mlnlstiy as
exhibiting nuilislmess lather than an
intelligent adaptation of means to
ends.
That u la i ye number of loyal En- j
Rllsltnieii ngieo heartily with the IJnrl
of ltoschcry has alrcadv been shown In
tho enthusiasm with which his speech
has been iccclved, c'eiripspondoiiep
from Ioiidon loaves little doubt that it
new epoch in Uiltlsh politics is opening.
The Ihigllsh people, though doggedly
loyal, aie thing of tho fruitless effoits
of the Chiunboilaln ciowel lo "olvlllo"
.South Aft lea by wholesale devastation.
They want an rally mid an hoiiotablo
peace. .Many of Ihcnt believe this can
lie obtained moie iptlcltly by concilia
tion than bv slaughter, They may lie
mistaken but the number who hold this
view Is ltici easing, and It means at an
eaily day a change of mlnlstilcs, with
intelligent Mhcinllsin icstoted The
ciy Is gtowlng and wilt glow: "Hose
beiy to the tesciie."
The story to the eii'pet that, l'awneu
