lutely nil.
Within tbe Liberal party wire -pull-
ers are hard at. work arranging tor a
reehuffle in the Liberal Cabinet. Mr,
John Morley would like to go to the
Exchequer, but it is not believed he
has the knowledge of financial affairs
requisite in that position. It is new
suggested that Mr. Haldane would
make an admirable Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and his friends declare
that he is the only member 01 the
Ministry who understands the Asquith
budget and scheme for old -age pen-
sions. Mr. Haldane is also keen on
getting his promotion, for the Chan-
cellorship is a more important post
than his present one. But who is
lo fill Mr, Haldane's shoos? It Is
eLfficalt to think of anyone who could
carry. through his army scheme, for
truth to tell, hardly any- other Min-
ister understate& it,
Unpleasant 'allegations ho„ve been
made against Mr. Lloyd -George and
Mr. Winston Churchill, both exceed-
ingly clever young members of the
Liberal Ministry. It is hinted that
they have both been intriguing with a
view to the formation of a new party.
It is well known that all is not hae-
mony within the Liberal rank. Mr.
Winston Churchill wants to get into
the Cabinet. but he does not know
the way. If he takes Cabinet rank
he will, according to constitutional
rules. have to face the storm and
stress of re-election. To judge from
the' results of the recent by-elections
,his re-election as the member for
Manchester is doubtful. It is under-
stood that he is in favor of an early
dissolution, so that he catt choose
a safer seat and demand a higher
position in the new Ministry.
The young politician is gifted with
a good-humored, self -complacency
which never fails, and a belief in
his own genius as a statesman which
so far has never wavered. He thinks
himsblf a man born to set the world
right through an entire generation,
and he had a superb contempt for the
arosaic steps by which. ordinary peo-
ple- arrive at aeconolusioa. He was of
great use to Campbell -Bannerman, but
it is doubtful whether- ho would get
on so well with the astute lawyer,
Mr. Asquith, if that gentleman were
called upon to take the reins of of-
fice as Premier.
And what ar,e the misgivings abott
Mr. Lloyd -George? Since he. became
President of the Board of Trade the
little Welshman has shown a very
open disregard for the teachings of
the Cobden Club. Indeed, he has
been tearfully wrftten down by The
Speotator as at heart . a protectionist.
One allegation against him is that he
is prepared to formulate some posi-
tive tariff proposals to meet a great
national evil.

London, March 29.-Do1efu1 tales of
aterd times are being told in London
just, now, and while they are palpable
eXaggerations in some respects, there
is no gainsaying the feet that in re-
spect to one set of LOndon's business
men they are aairly truthful, There
is no doubt that the Stock Exchange
is euffering grievously front the stag -
tuition prevalent for some time past.
It has been stated that as many as
500 members of the Stock Exchange
will not renew their subscriptions.
Whether this statement be true or not
cannot be verified before the erld of
Mardi, The deplorable shrinkage in
business', however, is shown by the
cutting down of offiee staffs. Nearly
:00 clerks employed in the "House"
have been. withdrawn.
There are some 5,800 members of the
Stock Exchange at present, and at
'least a dozen tlealere where there is
allot enough Wiliness for oae.
A member of the Stock EXcharige
said yesterday that many of his lel-

of 'philanthropic and charitable institu-

chinery of these institutions in Canedn,
and urges the appointment of a royal
commission whieh would probably advise
the British Go-vernment to place all
emigration, under the control of an °mi.

Editorially the Telegraph. says Ct.
towels restrictive ukase is on the de.

that the emigrants will nOW go to the
