Word of Wisdom Indeedis one idea of fundamental imin President ROOSEVELTS Provi-

dence speech as soundly conceived andmaturely considered as It Is beautifullyexpressed

We quote this sentiment of the ChiefMagistrates in order that It may hestudied admired and remembered forall future time by all concerned-

cate and conpllcsled aa It l vast and rcthcbe more productive of evil to aU of us and

The Hcnl Iowa PlatformAfl the first Important Republican

upon the Iowa platform derevision successively em

phasized their reasons for it Mmainly academic tho Fiiixixtion of nideal orvnnmio ptato without bearingupon tho present party programme themoro eager revisionists jmibably in-

clined to think that statesmenwore too prejudiced in behalf of on Ad-

ministration more interested in otheralms They must ptirrender to a mem-

ber of the Administration whose re-

ported dicuRreemont with its Cubanjwlicy is said to havn numbered himamong the authors of tho plank in ques-

tion Secretary Vn soV Wo will quotefrom the rfTtini Post

Too much fctrcss has been laid uponthe tariff plank of tim Iowa platformFays the Secretary of Apiculture Itdeclared for revision when itwithout injury to the business Interestsof the country I am convinced thatwith the heavy appropriations made bythe last Congress Iowa Republicanswould not favor tariff tinkering nowIf the tariff legislation wero before thoIowa Legislature irutead of Congressnothing would bo done this year

So tho Iowa platform demanding notariff on articles produced by trustsresolves itself virtually into a demandfor a committee to investigate how thatresult can be achieved without Injuringbusiness It presents a problem so com-plicated and today so far out of sight-of solution that the actual and

tariff Issue for tho year 1000

becomes clear againRegardless of preference for protec-

tion or free trade or friendliness or un-

friendliness to truth do you want aCongress elected which Is pledged tostart a revision of tho tariff

It Is unnecessary to say that the Re-

publican party Is not at present for revision not oven tho great and stalwartdivision of it that lives in Iowa

Are the IlrttMi Ilbrrnl TnltodWe directed attention the other day

to the remarkable Liberal victories atthe byelections in and Northl eds Since then the candidate of theHalfour Government has been defeatedIn South Belfast whllo at Pevenoaks inKent the Conservative majority whichwas about five thousand two years agohas been cut down to Momo hundredsThe striking facts can only bo explainedon the assumption that thenf the party which followed Mr GLAD-

STONE is once more reunited and that i

it has been redniorced by very manyUnionistLiberals who supported LordSALISBURY at tho last two general elec-

tions All that totho opponents of to profitby the pronounced reaction in theirfavor is shall agree upon nleader

There Is no reason In the nature ofthings why British Liberals should notagain form a coherent and harmoniousbody now that the war id South AfricaIs over However thoy may have dif-

fered as to the justification of that contest all concur In the belief that thefloors should receive generous treat-ment and thnt tho subjugated republicsshould bo as speedily as possible con-

verted Into selfgoverning coloniesTouching this point they will have theadvantage of n definite that willcommend itself to the lovo offair play which refrains from hitting aman when ho is down On the otherhand Mr BALFOVKR followers holdvarying opinions on the subject somebeing disposed to conciliate while othersare unwilling to trust Englands lateantagonists Magnanimity is likely toprove more potent at the ballot box thanrevenge With regard to the educationIssue also tho concord of the Liberals-is perfect they nit Insist that Bchoolssupported by taxation should bo secularand not denominational and that thosewho demand schools In which particularreligious doctrines shall be taught oughtto pay for such institutions out of theirown pockets These opinions are sharedby the who constitutethe hulk of Mr personalfollowers who nro Nonconformistsalmost to a moan

Nothing however In more certain toreconsolidato the Gladstonlan Liberalsand to augment their strength by acces-

sions from tho LiberalUnionist rampthan the profound misgiving causedby tho knowledge that since tho retire-ment of Sir MICHAEL HICKSBEACHthero Is not n single convincedTrader In tIm Balfour Cabinet Thosowho have alleged that Liberalism wasmoribund have based their assertionon the assumption that Toryism thoessence of which was protectionism wasdead No ono can read British news-papers and periodicals of Conservativeleanings without observing the signs of adecided revival of protectionist senti-ment Tho National icnctr for InstanceIs nn avowed and eulous advocate ofsuch dutles on breadstuff as would notonly give colonial food products a ma-terial preference In the Hritish marketbut raiso land values inGreat Britain by replacing tinder wheat-a largo part of tho ami formerly dovoted to that That review isunderstood to HOIIIO of the In-

fluential members of tho present Govern-ment and what is event morn ominousthose Ministers are no longer counter-balanced by colleagues known to bo un-

yielding upholders of freo trade-It Is true that tho present registration

duty on grain and flour is too small toaffect permanently tho prico of breath orto afford suRlcient margin for preferen-tial trade with tho colonies It is believedto bo no fault of Mr CHAMDKRLAINS

The notorious fact that the ofan Imperial Zollverein was defeated-by tho Colonial Premiers themselves-and especially by Mr BARTON of thoAustralian Commonwealth has natu-rally exposed the economic principles-of the Government to suspicion If it issaid the Unionists were willing tn taxHritish consumers of grain in order toplease tho Colonials are they not likelyto do as much or more for tho liritish-landed interest which fonns the corner-stone of the Conservative organization

But it may be a3kod how eon theLiberals prevent the Unionists fromraising once more the outcry againstHomo Rule and thus retrurJig theirhold upon a largo majority of tho Eng-

lish constituencies Some Liberals whoare practical men disposed t look f IctSin the fare suggest that while tho dutyof giving a Eipanite government to Ire-

land should bo distinctly recognized Intheir programme tim truth shouldalso In view that the boon cannotbo bestowed so long as the present Houseof Lord shall last except by an agreemont between tho two chief politicalparties like that which preceded thepassage of the lost Reform hilt arid theRedistribution of Seats hill in 1SS1 and1SS5 Meanwhile it would bo reasonablethese Liberals assert for Irish National-ists to cooperate with the British partywhich at least proclaims Its belief inHome anti which undoubtedlywould a bill for the compulsoryexpropriation of Irish landlords

For the British Liberals to agree upon-a standard bearer may at first glanceseem difficult but it Is certain that thodifferences and recrimination of tholast threo years will be lost sight of Inthe victory If the rank and fl

clear prospect of succcs theirdemand for union among theirwill prove Irresistible Thatreturning confidence has beenexhibited in tho political history of Eng-

land since the enactment of tho first Re-

form bill
