This decision
though the proposition has been discussed
for five years. The government appears
to have been influenced in coming to its
decision .by several considerations. First,
there is a belief that while the Canadian
route, affording as it does the shortest sea
voyage between this continent and Eu-
rope, is bound to become the popular one
In time, diversion of the best paying pas-
senger traffic from the New York route
will be gradual. .There is also the requisite
of freight accommodation for the trans-
portation of perishable products, but the
dominant influence is doubtless the hope
that in a few years the jealousy on the
rival Canadian ports will have disap-
peared and publio* opinion will have set-
tled upon the port which permits of the
shortest ocean voyage as the Canadian ter-

New York, N. Y., July 1G—A dis-
patch to the Herald from London
says: M. Michael Mering of Kieffe is
stopping at the Hotel Cecil. He is a
son-in-law of M. De Witte, Russian
minister of finance, and also president
of the Bank of Commerce at Kieffe,
besides being head of the largest
sugar refinery in that city.
As a large majority of Russian
sugar manufacturers are at Kieffe and
the recent tariff dispute between the
United States and Russia touches
local interests there, your correspond-
ent questioned him on the subject:
“I don’t think there will be any pro-
tracted trouble,” said M. Mering. “The
amount of sugar exported from
Russia to America is so small that the
difference in duty is not worth quar-
reling over. Unless there is some-
thing behind this matter it ought to
be settled without difficulty.”
“Would Russia take part in any
anti-American combination, such as
the London papers have been suggest-
ing?”
“Of course not,” he answered. “Why
should we? America and Russia
should be good friends alawys. We
buy American machinery in prefer-
ence to any~fftITer, and our relations
are of the befctM-There is nothing that
we should quarrel over.
“Of course,”o he added, “I can not
say what theitwo governments may
have in min(^;about this matter, but I
speak simply--of- the Russian people,
who are most friendly disposed to
America ani^^i^ Americans.”

SECRET OF SUCCESS.
“And what,” asked the reporter, “do you
consider the secret of success in life?”
“I should say,” replied the wealthy phi-
losopher from the Klondike, “that it con-
sists in being at the right place at the right
time.”
Reporter--“Well, that’s all right as far
as it goes, but we Galvestonians - have
found that to be successful a man must
have a steady nerve and a clear head, both
of which are possessed by those who drink
•Cabinet Beer.’ It’s a splendid tonic.”
Many housewives may ask why it

Not alone is the work of financing

But they have about got to the end
of their rope. The election will come

with the law in ordering registration.
The opposition are watching for some
technicality by which they may defeat

Was there ever a town cursed as

We don't believe it. Nor did we ever
realize until now what “a good thing”
it is to them. In the face of an over-
whelming public sentiment they
fought the commission with a stub-
bornness hardly paralleled in
these days of political graft,
dinarily the politician will quit when
he sees he is running counter to popu-
lar opinion. Not so with the Galves-
ton breed. They hold on until they
are literally choked off.
Not content with fighting the law at
Austin, when they were whipped they
managed to prevent the passage of the
act by the two-thirds rule necessary
to give it immediate effect. This gave
them three months more lease of life.
Now they have succeeded in getting
500 names to a petition for registra-
tion, which is no more needed for any
legitimate purpose than a house furn-
ace in July, but it requires thirty days
The Tribune is glad to observe the
change of heart on the part of the
News in the matter of the necessity
of some sort of protection for this city
which will allay the fears of the peo-
ple and restore confidence to where it
was prior to the great September hur-
ricane. But the News, like all people
who get religion late in life,
wants to start out before breakfast
next morning and convert the world.
In this respect the News is a little too
lively. The matter of protecting the
island is not to be accomplished in a
hurried moment. The Tribune is of
the opinion that the planS'for the pro-
tection of the island should be the
work of the wisest engineers, men
who have made the science of en-
gineering an intelligent life study. The
plan which Capt. Clark suggests and
which the News indorses may be the
best plan. But it occurs to The
Tribune that the first step in this most
important matter should be to deter-
mine hoxv much money can be raised
to do the work. Then and not until
then is a discussion of plans as to how
the money is to be spent germane to
the subject. If an individual is to en-
gage in constructing a work he first
determines what funds are available.
Then, with these figures as a guide, he
lays the matter before his engineer or
his architect, as the case may be, and
the details are worked out along in-
telligent lines.
So it should be in this most im-
portant matter. AVe should all pull
together, raise every dollar- xxe may,
engage the highest talent to be had to
--determine the work to be done, and
then go ahead and do it.
The Tribune has been accused of
trying to scare the people by demand-
ing that some measures be taken to
protect human life in the event of a
recurrence of a disastrous storm here.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. The Tribune lias scared no
one. It was not The Tribune xvhich
caused the loss of life here and it was
the loss of life and the accompanying-
horrors of the period immediately fol-
lowing the storm, and the recol-
lection of those things which creates
the fears, which will never be allayed
until there is adequate protection
: along the gulf front.
Just how the money for this protec-
tion is to be raised is a matter for the
most serious discussion, It is a mat;
ter in which every man with $1 worth
of interest in Galveston is vitally in-
terested. As the News says, “Time is
essential and we should get to work at
once.”
But it is also true that we should
get to work along intelligent lines /Bid
not approach the matter in a hap-
hazard chase of au ignis fatuus. If
the state can lend the money on Gal-
veston bonds it will solve the problem
at once. But if there be constitu-
tional’ inhibitions in the way of this,
as some contend, then some other way
must be found, for the work must be
done. As it. .must be done, the sooner
it is done the better.
Every man xvho owns property here
is most vitally interested in this ques- •
tion. There is not a piece of real es-
tate on this island which xvould not
advance in value at least 25 per cent
the moment work was actually com-
menced on a system of breakwaters.
Property which now has no value,
which lies in the devastated district
along the beach, would be as valuable
(as any in the city. Therefore as a
plain business proposition the ques-
tion admits of neither argument nor
objection.
The one great object most to be de-
sired at this time is to be found in a
united people. In'unity there is always
strength. Therefore The Tribune is
doubly glad to see the News abandon
its untenable position and align itself
with those who would save the Gal-
veston of today that she may become
the greater Galveston of tomorrow.
There should be no question as to the
necessity of protection. That is a self-
exudent fact which admits of no argu-
ment. Therefore let us be up and do-
ing. Let us determine first hoxv we
will raise all the money.we can, then
how we will spend it. Above all let
each and every one of us pull for the
project and for the town with all of
our individual and collective strength.
Galveston has demonstrated that she
can accomplish wonders. She will not
fail in a project so necessary to her
people and her commerce when once
- she is thoroughly awakened to the
work in hand and xviii rise to her own
proud position. After the work of
regeneration done here since last Sep-
tember who is to say Galveston can
not and will not help herself? Is not
her record an assurance that success
awaits united effort?
New York, N. Y., July 16.—A dis-
patch to the Tribune from London
says: The Liberal revolt has been a
tempest in a teapot. Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman has become the
necessary leader of a faction-rent op-
position, and whenever there is seri-
ous trouble in the household a threat
of resignation suffices to bring about
a semblance of unity. The leader, by
the timely display of courage and po-
litical resource, has kept the embit-
tered factions of Liberalism together
and strengthened his own authority.
The revolt came to au end when the
Liberal benches were emptied into the
hall and drawing room of Lady Camp-
bell-Bannerman in Grosvenor place,
and the wrangling groups found that
they were on speaking terms with one
another. A gracious hostess united
the party and everybody went home
in a conciliatory and peaceable frame
of mind. Mr. Gladstone succeeded in
emergencies in pulling the party to-
gether under his green umbrella. A
woman’s pink parasol now offers
cover for the Liberal factions.
The political salon has not been
much in. use during recent years in
London. Possibly there may be a re-
vival of the social functions of Liberal
hostesses, now that there has been a
conspicuous demonstration of their
utility. Lady Campbell-Bannerman
has rallied the Liberal factions at a
critical moment by inviting all the
members of parliament owing al-
legiance to her husband to an evening
party. The Grosvenor place mansion
is not spacious, but Liberal Imperial-
ists, old-time WMgs, new-fangled
Radicals and even pro-Boers found
themselves cheek by jowl and made
themselves agreeable to one another.
Social amenities promoted good feel-
ing and the hostess was thanked
silently as the best politician in the
party. The political salon triumphed
after a long period of desuetude, during
which public interests had been sacri-
ficed to idolatrous worship of smart-
ness—the besetting social sin of Lon-
don. At once there is a shower of in-
vitations to similar functions.
This social campaign may serve
more purposes, than one. Apart from
the beneficial result of bringing the
Liberal factions together and putting
rancoros and embittered politicians on
their good behavior, it may help to re-
move the reproach that the party has
lost its social prestige. The Con-
servatives have been in the habit for a
long time of sneering at the Liberals
as a party of social outcasts, without
fashionable and smart houses for en-
tertainment on a large scale. Liberals
have been sensitive to this reproach,
and Radicals have been ready to con-
demn men of their own party who
enter Imuses of Liberal society. Not a
little of the resentment xvhich Mr. As-
quith has excited among Radicals
may be attributed to his oxvn and his
wife’s social successes. Because they
have been included in country house
parties and smart sets in town they
have been accused of abandoning
Liberal principles and courting the
Tories. Radicals xvith strong preju-
dices have been envious and dogmatic
xvhenever they have observed indica-
tions that leading men on their own
side of the commons xvere favorites in
society. They have expressed strong
disapproval of social patronage and
blandishments and have contended
that thorough going Liberals must set
their faces sternly against compromise
xvith the titled class and fashionable
people.
During recent years the closest ap-
proach to a political and literary salon
in the West End has been Lady
Jeunes’ bouse in Harley street, and
this has been opened to men of all par-
ties and nationalities, and has not
been devoted, like Holland house in
its best days, exclusively to a single
political interest. AATien Mr. Gladstone'?
arrayed London society against the
Rome rule cause political discussion
languished in the drawing rooms. So-
ciety became almost unanimously con-
servative. and there xvas no scope for
argument or controversy. Men went
to their clubs when they xvished to
talk about politics. Celebrities, art-
ists. authors, actors and musicians
xvere xvelcome at dinner parties and
afternoon receptions, but the smart
set became more luxurious, if not more
exclusixre, year after year, and there ; yesterday, has been recovered.
In a shooting scrape in San Antonio,
Trinidad S. Coy xvas shot and killed. Chas.
XV. Grandberry has been arrested.
A persistent report is circulated in Beau-
mont that the Guffey well at Big Hill has
been brought in. The well is closely
guarded and no one can get near it to get
any information.
A hunting party near San Antonio got
caught in a sudden rise of the Guadalupe
river and spent 12 hours in the trees be-
fbre the water subsided enough for them
to come down. Their horses, guns and
camp equipment were lost.
