What soever la no longer useful must get out of the way. Nevertheless, progress that is not intelligent will not be permanent. We shall continue to breathe air, drink water and eat bread There will be no "improvement" on the great essentials of living, and we do not want any. Babies will come into the world- as they have from the beginning, and people will die out of it as they have done since the world began. Let us not run away with the idea that all of our treasured opinions are to be upset. Through every change, all things which, like

"To help a trooper in Kitchener's Horse out of the poor-box because Pall Mall does not pay its debts is nothing short of a scandal. In truth the whole situation of the discharged-the-Unionist-EvenipVetus strikes a simi. soldier is piteous and humiliating beyond words. Possibly it is not our fault that

are suddenly rwn without employment inth our midst. But it will be our fault, and also our disgrace, if now that we know ille facts, and are aware of our obligations, we do not, each and all, do everything in our power to succour those who ucconred England when she aske! their aid, and who are now face to face with no reward for their fearless and self sacrificing efforts than the mournful hospitality

of the workhouse,"

:

The price of bread has gone up in London to add to the suffering of the poor. The work- houses and the charitable societies are over- faxed with applicants for relief.

Next year we are to have a visit from a team of Fiji cricketers. They are fifteen in number and will arrive in April. For a time they will be located in Devonshire where they can have practice and become acclimatised in a mild atmosphere. Matches have been niranged with. Surrey, Somerset, and London County. They will also visit Edinburgh, Scarborough, Aberdeen, and Dublin. After expenses are paid the charities in Fiji will benefit to the full extent of the profits.

Apart from the bad times, there is no deny ing that the Government is not at present as strong in the country as it is in the House of Commons. The visit of Mr. Chamberlain.to South Africa removes their best fighting men, but even before he went the Government had one or two close shaves in divisions on various measures. On the Rating of Machinery Bill the majority was only 35 the Local Govern. ment fer Wales Hill, 38, the Status of Work men Bill zz; the Education Bill 43: Home Office Labour Regulations in Fruit Preserving Industry 12: London Water. Bill 29; Martial Law Commission 48; and on Wednesday night in the Militia Bill 30. What their supporters hope is that Mr. Chamberlain will achieve a brilliant success at the Cape; and as to their unpopular actions they hope that time will cure the anger of the country,

lar note in the flowing editorial:-"The Goverment ought to have been ready to lay on the table all the papers when they announced such a grave step as thus. It is essential that the country should be in pos- session of all the facts, particularly as jont action with Germany is contemplated. The papers.will perhaps give us the reasons why he Government have decided on co-operation with Germany & soon after our very un pleasint experience of the results of such co- operation in regard to Shanghai, Unless very strong and special reasons can be shown for courting similar treatment a second time, we must hold to our opinion that the decision to co-opg rate with Cermany in Venezuela is far from wise."

The last travellers to the Delhi Durbar left byesterday They included many well known people, prominent among whom were the Earl of Crewe, The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, and Lady Sybil Primrose, Lord Rosebery's daughter, whose engagement is announced this week. The lucky man is Lieutenant Grant of the Coldstream Guards son of Sir Robert Grant, K.C.B., who for many years was Inspector General of Fortifications,

There is talk in diplomatic circles here of an expedition supposed to be of a purely scientific character which is to leave St. Petersburg next month for

CENTRAL ASIA AND AFGHANISTAN, The fact is noted that it is promoted by the Geographical Society which is practically a government institution in Russia and occupies a government office in St. Petersburg. It was this Society which sent "scientific" expedi- tions to Manchuria and to Persia, Science seems to be the Russian forerunner of deep diplomacy.

The Militia Bill aimed at giving the Warness box on Wednesday, but only to bear Office power to dispense with the ordinary military prov'sions that regulate the training of the Reserves of the Militia and Yeomanry, and to transfer any man in a Reserve Division from one corps of Yeomanry to another, Lord Charles Beresford was among the critics of the Bill, declaring it to be a mere patchwork par of a perfectly impossible scheme of army re- form, Mr. Brodrick appealed to the Rouse to support the Bill. The numbers of the Militia. he pointed out, hail fallen to 30,000, from its proper establishment of 150 x0, and half of these were recruits physically unfit to take the field. It was therefore absolutely necessary that the Militiamen who had served their time in the Army should be formed into a Reserve,"
