HON. A. J. BALFOUR.
Hon. A. J Balfonr’a formal recogni-
tlon as tbe leader of tlie Conservative
party In England la a certainty. Ur.
Smith, who discharged bla duties with
exemplary fidelity, baa yielded to the
growing Infirmities of age and baa retir
ed from active political life.
Balfour is tbe heir presumptive, whose
sight will be unchallenged and well
founded Balfour baa a sinister and
•cynical foil in Sir W. Ifarcourt, whose
•shadow is now darkening tbe future o r
the Liberals. Birds of sombre plumage
for tbe English Liberals cluster around
Us name; be is the stalwart gladiator of
partisan warfare and his promotion to
tbePremiership would sound tbe death*
knoll of Liberalism for the rest of the
10th century.
Balfour's keen intellectual apprehen
sion and quick sympathetic intelligence
snake the trickery and wiles of partisan
warfare exceeding distasteful.
Balfour is a cool, clear-headed, delib
erative man capable of seeing and sym.
pathixlng with both sides of a debate.
His mind Is broad and discriminative,
indulging the errors of opinion in those
who oppose him, and entertaining no
personal antipathy. He has the cool
confidence of tbe zealot, without tbe
equatorial passion.
He bu a dear conception of his true
duty, and be never wastes vital force in
fretting and fuming and raging at the
folly or iniquity of those who are thwart
ing some favorite policy
He Injecta into his politics neither
passionate convictions nor intense ardor
of moral eutbusiaam, but cool, calm and
imperturbable he reoonnoltera the field,
with tbe masterly precision of a Napo
leon, and always charges the foe in hia
most vulnerable part. ,
Balfour it the great central figure of
the political arena, the Hoses of the
Conservatives, who will lead them from
the land of Egypt into the land flowing
with milkahd honey.
He has asserted on more than one oc
casion that the Irish were Incapable .of
self-control, and therefore are not td be
trusted with their own destinies. This
emanates in no slight measure from the
arrogance all English feel, flowing from
coDturleS of dominion over tbe Irish and
other less fortunate peoples. He styles
Ireland a “mutinous nursery,'
shapes bis policy in accord with this
opinion. . /
There is something superbly arrogant
in 'this calm ruling out of a whole nation
as permanently incapacitated for the
ordinary elementary right of free citi
zens, but this over weening pride is the
distinguishing note of tbe aristocrat
Hr. Balfour Is a sybarite; be is easy-
going and good-tempered. His style is
polished and refined; bis temper unruf
fled and sorene, and to his friends bis
manners are charming, to his foes his
personality is odious.
His light-hearted mode of disposing of
bis assailants is Infinitely more aggra-
rating than the most scarifying Inveo-
tive and the most unhesitating abuse.
He is a magnanlmous man—a quality
rare and noticeably absent in politics.
He tolerates abuse and does not resent
severe applications of caustic or the
scalpel.
If success lea guageof merit, then
Balfour Is preeminently a meritorious
man for his rise reads like fiction.
There an strong reasons to believe the
leader of the Conservatives would in
event of his elevation to tbe highest
dignity within tbe gift of the crown, re
store to Inland such a meaaun of power
as would as nearly realize her hopes as
will ever be secured under tbe auspices
of Gladstone.
In Dublin, Hr. Balfour rules Inland
through an espionage of police, a cordon
of power that enjoys tbe most embit
tered hatred of the Irish masses, and if
the surface tranquility disappears and
Dublin becomes a storm centre then Hr.
Balfour must rely implicitly on Ids blue-
coated lieutenants, as a general would
place unfaltering confidence in his army
when facing the foe. a
Balfour’s career will be watened with
the Intent earnestness that Parnell’s
ineteorio flight and sudden end com
manded from the world at large, who
are absorbed in the desperate and never-
ceasing struggle between England and
Erin.
Tins from the Savannah Press, is In
terestlug: “It is a little remarkable
that the city of Americus should have
been the storm centre of so much rail-
rbad agitation In 1877 no men did
more to precipitate the anti-railroad leg
islation than Dr. Cooper and the Sumter
delegates. Then came the formation of
tbe railroad commission under the Fort.
Kankln bill, Ur. Fort being a represen
tative from Sumter. Next we find Con
gressman Crisp from Americus breath,
ing the same spirit and fighting for tbe
Inter-State commerce bill in Washing
ton. Americus finally obtained recogni
tion at borne, and forcing Governor
Northen to appoint Allen Fort a member
of the railroad commission of Georgia
Tbe law In Georgia has worked well.
The people have resisted every effort to
change is, and one or two governors
have been elected on the line of the in
violability of the railroad commission.
It has acted as a safeguard to the rail
roads and to the people, for when the
Iniquitous Olive bill was proposed in
1888 tbe best argument against Its pas
sage was that the railroads were already
regulated by the commission and that
repressive legislation was unnecessary.
The national act has been the subject of
numerous suits and discussions, but the
administration of the law seems to be
In competent bands, and tbe people
uoubtless prefer the matter to remain as
It Is.”
Considkhadle alarm is felt by tbs
restlessness of the Indians In Hontana.
Troops will be sent to the scene of the
disturbances and the trouble will be
nipped in the bud.
OENRRAL IMPROVEMENT,
The Manufacturers' Record of Balti
more of December 12, in reviewing the
Industrial progress of the Soutn, says:
“The past week has shown a very de
cided increase in the number of indus
trial enterprises organized and pro
jected throughout the South, and a care
ful study of the whole situation and of
the plans that an being matured for
many others seems to indicate a tendency
to a mon general activity than has been
seen for many months. It is true that
then Is conaidenble complaint of dull
ness and of slow' collections In some
places, but the outlook sppsnntiy shows
that the South, In sympathy with tbe
whole country, is gradually entering
upon a period of renewed activity, the
full force of which will not, however, be
seen until after the first year, and possi
bly not until spring.
There is every reason to expect that
1802 will be a year long to be remem
bered for the aotivity in industrial and
trade interests, and if this prove true,
the South will inevitably share in this
renewed prosperity.”
