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.” ATTENTION For pain in the atomasb, colic and ebolera morbus there is nothing better than Chamberlain's Colie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
