TRANSITION POLITICS.
,^0 MEN OF MARK AND A NUMBER
i0 F CIPHERS— ANALOGIES BETWEEN
THE DERBY AND BALFOUR
ADMINISTRATIONS.
London. August 13.
V 0V 0 that Mr. Balfour has reconstructed the
jjiinet, some of the stock Parliamentary jokes
gt revived. One Is Lord Palmerston'E descrlp
jjoa of the Derby administration of 1532 as a
idverrtinent with two men of mark and a num
«• of ciphers. Another is the story told of the
puke of Wellington, who did not hear well and
Jsked "Who?" "Who?" when the names of the
54W ministers v.ere repeated to him in succes
ses. tie £<> vernmen t being subsequently known
tf ibe "Who? Who? Ministry." The compari
10 is a n apt one . for the new government, if
£ f Duke of Devonshire follows Sir Michael
c jjs-Beach Into retirement, as it is gen
jjallv expected that he will do. will contain
:W o rr:en of mark, Mr. Balfour and Mr. Cham
ver!£la, and a number of ciphers so far as po
jjticai authority is concerned. While it is not
-ecessary for any one familiar with English
-alitics to ask who are Mr. Ritchie, Lord Lon
josfierry. Mr. Akers Douglas. Sir William
trairond. Mr. Austen Chamberlain, Mr. George
•g-ysdham. Lord Windsor and Lord Percy, it is
c iejr that the prestige and authority of the
nstructed government in the country de
pnd almost exclusively upon the influence of
jj;. Balfour and the Secretary for the Colonies.
Tie other ministers may do their administra
te work more or less efficiently, but they do
jot count in determining the power and repre
sentative character of the government of the
as-
The comparison between the Balfour govern
ment and the Derby administration of 1552 is
»t fiult in one respect. One has an overwhelm
ing, well disciplined majority in the Commons.
■whereas the other was an insecure govern
ment. holding its ground because the factions
H opposition could not unite and relieve it of
the responsibilities of office. Mr. Balfour. with
his one powerful supporter and his company at
reputable country squires, is not in imminent
danger of being turned out of office as Lord
Derby was when he pitted a Protectionist Cabl-
M| acainst the Peelites, Whigs and Cobdenites.
Tie Education bill can be enacted in October,
even if the warning sounded at North Leeds
be repeated at other bye-elections. The govern
ment can probably be kept together for several
years and enabled to enforce discipline among
its supporters until a general election is or
dered. Mr. Balfour with his tact and amiability,
and Mr. Chamberlain with his debating power,
can be depended upon to conduct a vigorous
campaign against the divided and faction rent
Opposition; and bye-elections are slow and un
cf.-:air Irs operation when the party in power is
veil organized. The political situation differs
materially from that of 1552. when the minis
try, in spite of Mr. Disraeli's audacity and
gezdas, ceased to be tolerated as soon as there
■vras a coalition between Peelites and Whigs and
a resolution of censure was aimed against the
opponents of Free Trade. The Education bill
can be followed next year with safe and non
eantenticus measures, and the government ade
quately protected against revolt within the
Commons and a popular uprising outside.
The analogy between the two Governments
c£ Mediocrities becomes closer when the transi
tion periods are compared. The oldtime Tory
ltd Whig parties were breaking up in 1852.
Hr. Gladstone was at the halfway house be
tween Toryism and Liberalism, having become
i Free Trader with his leader. Sir Robert Peel.
and having begun to question the correctness
cf tls principles on other questions not con-
Betted with finance. The Peelites were gradual
ly approaching the followers of Lord John Rus
sell and Lord Palmerston. and the evolution of
liberalism was proceeding by rapid stages. The
downfall of the Protectionist government was
decreed as soon as Lord Derby undertook to
test the popularity of Free Trade at a popular
election: and the facility with which a coalition
Cabinet v.as formed under Lord Aberdeen was
due to the uncertainties of a transition period
what the political opinions of sections of both
parties were undergoing transformation. The
fllgas of a transition period are now equally ap
parent. Mr. Chamberlain's presence as the
strongest minister in the Conservative Cabinet
is an anomaly as remarkable as was Mr. Glad
stone's conversion to Liberalism by gradual
stages half a century ago. It is an indication
that the lines of cleavage between political par
lies ere not where they have been in the past.
There is a new Toryism to which consistent
Radicals have hardly become acclimatized, and
there is ■ new Liberalism which does not rev
erence the insular traditions cf the Manchester
school. There are counter movements, search-
Ings cf hearts and new impulses in both parties.
find multitudes of voters are in the valley of
decision, questioning the validity of principles
and the utility of policies which they once ac
cepted without a trace of scepticism.
The Education bill Illustrates the tendencies
Of transition politics. It is a laborious attempt
to real. II . .-.-•■ r's compromise measure
cf 1870 to altered conditions. He found in Eng
land and Wales a system of schools under the
charge of the State Church, the Roman Catholic
Church, -:- Wesleyans and other religious
bodies, and sought to affiliate it with a govern
ment plan of free education; and In doing this
he provided local aid from the rates on condi
tion that denominational schools should submit
to inspection, offer proof of a certain degree of
♦■aciency. and accept a conscience clause, for
the protection of the religious convictions of
parents. The Nonconformists broke away from
the Liberal government of the day and bitterly
attacked the measure, which was saved and
finally enacted, with the help of Conservative
votes, in the Commons. The Education act has
been one of the most successful and enlightened
reform measures of the generation, and has
brought into existence a trained body of school
experts in town and country; but it has also
created competition between denominational
schools dependent upon voluntary support and
board schools with the ratepayers' money be
hind them. The new measure minimizes this
competition by throwing all voluntary schools
back upon local support, and by substituting for
the school boards a new system of control, with
safeguards for the maintenance of religious in
struction. The objection has at once been raised
that taxpayers cannot be asked to take over
voluntary schools unless they are allowed to
control them as absolutely as they do the board
schools; and the reply has been made that the
denominational plant has been costly, and that
It c?-tnot justly be appropriated by the local
conunonlties without special provision for the re
tention of the catechism and religious teaching.
The school boards, moreover, having become in
tensely interested in their work, object to being
Heislated out of office, on the ground that their
•ystem has become so efficient that the volun
tary schools cannot compete with it- The new
compromise not only threatens to unsettle edu
cational work In England and Wales, but also
to revive the angry bickerings and religious
tJgotry to which the original scheme devised by
J*r. Forster was exposed.
This measure has divided the supporters of
both parties. Old fashioned Conservatives, who
have been eking out the expenses of the Church
«f England schools, strongly favor It as an
•Suitable compromise: but the new recruits of
Tory Democracy among the working masses
••• opposed to the principle of mixed control
••4 sectarian teaching when the aggregate ex-
PtnEe of all the schools will fall upon the rate
payers. Th* abolition of the existing school
■•erds. which have been doing excellent work
for a generation, and the establishment of a
•>** body of inexperienced authorities in every
J»wn juid county division excite strenuous re
sis.tar.cc from the educational clas.=. Th- gov
ernment has estranged a large section of its
supporters by extending relief from the rates
to denominational schools and by depriving tax
payers* representatives of full supervision and
absolute control. The Liberals are also divided,
albeit in less degree, over this measure, which
has piient support from Roman Catholics,
Ritualists and Wesleyans, accustomed to follow
in the old days Mr. Gladstone's standard with
out flinching. The main body of Nonconform
ists is as strongly opposed to it as it was to
Mr. Forster's original compromise thirty years
ago, and it is reinforced by a larpe contingent
of municipal reformers and Radicals, who resist
interference with tho natural order and repre
sentative character of local government. The
North Leeds bye-election indicated a tremendous
reaction against the government in a stronghold
of nonconformity, where the work of the
board schools has been exceptionally satisfac
tory. Too elastic inferences ought not to he
based upon a single election. There will be in
evitably a great deal of cross-voting in every
borough and division on this burning contro
versial question of the day; but on the whole
Mr. Balfour's attempt to satisfy "the parson
and the squire'" at the expense of the rate
payer and the trained talent of the school
boards is likely to prove as ineffectual as Mr.
Dteraelfs ingenious device in 1552 for favoring:
the farmers and the brewers at the cost of
house occupiers i:i the towns.
The old" parties are each adrift in this transi
tion period and awaiting self-possessed and re
sourceful pilotage. The Irish Home Rule ques
tion, which carried Mr. Chamberlain and the
Liberal Unionists into the Conservative party,
has virtually disappeared from English politics.
anfl oldtime Liberals and Tory Democrats
of the new order find it difficult to reconcile
themselves to their new environment. There is
an Increasing feeling of dissatisfaction among:
Old Tories over the burdens of direct taxation,
and a counter-movement in the direction of a
largely expanded revenue tariff, with preferences
for the colonies, only awaits discreet and intel
ligent 1-adership. On the Liberal side there
are similar signs of upheaval, restlessness ar.d
reaction. The Liberal Imperialists are entirely
cut of sympathy with the old-time diplomacy
and economics of the Manchester school, and
are uncomfortable v hen in enforced fellowship
with Little Englanderp, Trades Unionists, and
Radicals. The reunion of Liberal factions can
hardly be accomplished on the common ground
of opposition to the Education bill. The con
sistent Radicals have no fault to find with Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman except his lack
of greatness and the power of exciting enthusi
asm among his followers; and while they fail
to discriminate between the two representative
Imperialists. Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Ros*.-
bery. they are the natural allies of the Tory
Democracy of the Midland counties. It Is a
transition period in which the trend of the fu
ture forces of public opinion is imperfectly dis
closed. A redistribution of political followers
is as Inevitable now as it v.as in 1858, when
Mr. Disraeli's audacity and genius were ren
dered pre-eminent and inspiring by the dulness
of his commonplace colleagues, and when Mr.
Gladstone was looming up as the future leader
of Liberalism and Radicalism. Mr. Balfour.
with all his amiable virtues, is a foil for the
stronger and more energetic personality behind
him, as Lord Derby then was for Mr. Disraeli;
but on the Liberal side Lord Rosebery, with all
his brilliant abilities, lacks the inflexible reso
lution and commanding authority of Mr. Glad
stone. It is a transition period, with only one
natural leader of men In sight, and he is in the
Colonial Office, rejoicing with paternal pride
over the Cabinet honors of his son. IN. F.

MARK TWA IX OX "HCCK FIXX."
SOME EMPHATIC OPINIONS ON MORAL AND
other INFLUENCES in THE
DENVER library.
. A few days ago it was reported that Mark
Twain's book, "Huckleberry Finn." had been
barred out of the Denver Public Library. On
learning this "The Denver Post" telegraphed to
Mark Twain for an expression of his opinion on
the subject. He sent the following letter, which
is printed In "The Post," which adds, however,
that the efforts of the people who were trying
to have "Huckleberry Finn" discarded from the
library failed, and the book will be restored to
the shelves. This is the fetter:
Your telegram reached me (per post) from
Ycrk Village (which is a short brickbat throw
from my house) yesterday afternoon when It
was thirty hours old. And yet, in my experience,
that was not only abnormally quick work for a
telegraph company to do. but abnormally intelli
gent work for that kind of mummy to be whirl-
Ing off out of its alleged mind
Twenty-four hours earlier the Country Club
had notified me that a stranger In Portsmouth
(a half hour from here) wished me to come to
the club at 730 p. m.. and call him up and talk
upon a matter of business. I said: "Let him
take the trolley and come over, if his business
is worth the time and the fare to him." It was
doubtless yourself— and rot in Portsmouth, but in
Denver. I was not thinking much about business
at the time, for the reason that a consultation
of physicians was appointed for that hour (7:30)
at my house to consider if means might be de
vised to save my wife's life. At the present
writing Thursday afternoon— it is believed that
she will recover.
When the watch was relieved an hour ago
and I left the sick chamber to take my respite
I began to frame answers to your dispatch, but
it. was only to entertain myself, for I am aware
that I am not privileged to speak freely in this
matter, funny as the occasion is and dearly as
I should like to laugh at It; and when I can't
spr-ak freely i don't speak at all.
You see. there are two or three pointers:
First— Huck Finn was turned out of a New-
England library seventeen years ago— ostensibly
on account of his morals; really to curry favor
with a personage. There has been no other in
stance until now.
Second A few months apo I published an ar
ticle which threw mud at that pinchbeck hero,
Funston, and his extraordinary morals.
Third— Huek*s morals have stood the strain
in river and in every English, German an<l
French speaking community in the world— save
one— for seventeen years until now.
Fourth The strain breaks the connection now.
Fifth— ln Denver alone.
Sixth— Funston commands there.
Seventh — And has dependents and Influence.
When one puts these things together, the cat
that is in the m«al is disclosed— and quite un
mistakably.
Said cat consists of a few persons who wish
to curry favor with Funston, and whom God has
not dealt kindly with in the matter of wisdom.
Everybody In Denver knows this, even the
dead people In the cemeteries. It may be that
Funston has wit enough to know that these good
idiots are addlnsr another howling absurd to
his funny history; it may be that God has chari
tably spared him that degree of penetration,
slight as It Is. In any case, he Is— as usual— a
proper object of compassion, and the bowels of
my sympathy are moved toward him.
There's nobody for me to attack in this mat
ter even with soft and gentle ridicule— and I
shouldn't ever think of using a grown up weapon
in this kind of a nursery. Above all. I couldn't
venture to attack the clergymen whom you men
tion, for I have their habits and live in the same
glass house which they are occupying. I am
always reading immoral books on the sly, and
then selfishly trying to Prevent other people
from having the same wicked good time.
No. if Satan's morals and Funston's are pref
erable to Huck's, let Huok's take a back seat;
they can srand any ordinary competition, but
not a combination like that. And T'm not going
to defend them, anyway. Sincerely yours.

0(T OF TOWX CHECKS.
A PROPOSITION" FOR AGITATION AGAINST
THE CHARGES NOW IMPOSED
UPON THEM.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In 1899. when uniform collection charges were
proposed by the associated banks of New-York, a
reduction of 99 per cent was secured by The Trib
une on the greater number of checks which It re
ceived. Ii New-York merchants exerted them
selves as The Tribune did they could abolish most,
if not all, charges on out of town checks. It will
be well to recall how The Tribune succeeded.
At first the banks proposed to charge not less
than 10 cents for each out of town check collected,
with an exception here and there. The Tribune had
reason to remonstrate. The- annual subscription to
The Weekly Tribune was $1. From one hundred
thousand subscriptions paid by check the banks
proposed to rake off Slo.ooo-a tax of 10 per cent.
The project was denounced in an editorial, which
called out many letters to the editor, particularly
from newspapers and other concerns receiving
myriads of small checks. The Tribune printed with
comments column after column of these protests
against the scheme. Affected by the public clamor.
the banks lowered the charge on $1 checks to a
mill, and in different proportions lowered the
charges on other small checks.
No less instructive is the way in which the banks
granted The Tribune relief. Under the proposed
rules, when several checks on the same point were
deposited at the same feme, they could be added
together anJ their collection charged for at the
rate of 10 cents per $100. with a minimum charge
of 10 cents. The clearing house committee sud
denly decided that there were Just two points in
the United States— one in which the chars was
one-tenth of 1 per cent, and the other in which it
was one-fourin of 1 p-r cent. If The Tribune de
posited a hundred $1 checks drawn on a hundred
different cities la the Brat section, the charge was
not to be 10 cents each, as If they were drawn on
a hundred points, but the same as for collecting
JIOO drawn on a single point. This reduced the
charge M per cent. Thus The Tribune won. and
all depositors benefited somewhat by the victory.
In January last the late Frederick D. Tappen as
sured me that If. as some of them proposed. N •••-
Ensland banks would pay without deduction or
delay. New-York banks would receive checks on
them without charge to depositors. No banker was
In better position to know what New- York banks
would do. Re lying upon his opinion I have ob
tained written agreements from 275 banks In New-
England New-York and New-England banks would
have come to an underst-mliug six roontns ago. out
for some opposition in this city. Had Mr. happen
lived all opposition would have vanished. At pres
ent if bank depositors who pay these charges on
New-England checks spoke out loudly, fearlessly
arid unitedly there would be no opposition and
New-York banks would cheerfully receive New-
England checks free of charge. „,...,
The present proposition of New-England banks
Involves tn« collection of their leeks through the
:->w-iork Clearing House, ami therefore me In
troduction of out of town clearings in New-York.
The clearing of out of town checks creates a free
zone of collection around the clearing point, and
will do so here, mere has been a free zone around
Lor.don sin 1858 and around Boston since 1599.
These are practically the o.ily peaces that as yet
clear out of town checks. New-England will he
only a part of New- York's frrp zone, which will
include at least the States of New-York, Pennsyl
vania, Delaware and New-Jersey.
The New-England banks have spoken In favor of
a free zone for New- York, and offered terms which
make it possible as to them. One of the best
known bankers in this city vouched for the up
proval of New-York banks Shall the men who pay
the charges express .... preference? Shall city de
positors not openly stand with the New-England
banks and probably four-fifths of the New-York
City bank* In favor" of no charges on New-England
checks? a thounan-1 merchants of New-York
should demand that charges on New-England
checks shall cer.se. and that "he clearing of out of
town checks shall he introduced at th« New-York
Clearing House. JAMES C. HALLOCK.

effect of a floral cover of white and green. The
steps leading to the chancel were banked with
white roses and green vines, and aU the large
columns were twined with laurel, festooned with
white Sowers.
At either side of the two large front pews
stood a rose tree, twelve feet high, filled with
American Beauty roses. Large vase shaped
baskets filled with white ftower3 and trailing
vines were placed on the tops of the pews along
the main aisle, forming a floral avenue from the
entrance to the chancel, and this avenue was
