In answer to which it may be urged that the services of a kedge or archbishop are definite an d well nown, and are secured, if the term be not irreverent, at the market price. we find by experience that we cannot get them f or l ess than we pay. But it is impossible to calculate the value of an inventor or a prime minister on any regular scale. They may be worth much and they may be worth less than nothing. Each case is a law to itself. Many inventors never et a fraction of the value of their ser vices; but some, alas ! have managed . to secure a great deal more. The same answer applies in a mea sure to the case of the prime minister. The present payment is, no doubt, small for a really good states man.

Strict and impartial economy is for the future to be exercised with respect to legal proceedings against soldiers. The Secretary of State for the War De partment has issued a circular in which ho in forms military gentlemen that for the future they must, before reckoning upon being disimbursed any legal expenses, obtain his consent to incur the same, and he will only allow them after it has been shewn that the act which caused the appeal to law was done in the path of duty. Solicitors also are warned not to undertake official cases without the command of the Secretary of State. The command ing officer of each regiment is also advised that " all offences committed by persons subject to the Mutiny Act against the ordinary criminal code of the country brought to the cognisance of the commanding local police, that the same may be duly - investigated by their agency, and punished by the civil criminal tribunals.' THE STOCKPORT CONSERVATIVES. The Conservatives of Stockport held a sort of nrand revival on Saturday to celebrate the return of Mr. Tipping to Parliament. Considering that the auspicious event took place in December 1868, the celebration looks rather late, but it appears to have been none the less vigorous on that account. Mr. Tipping himself was present, besides Mr. Cecil Raikes, member for Chester, Mr. Cawley (who shares the love of Salford with the illustrious Charley), and about 2,000 other persons. Mr. Raikes bewailed the minority of the Conserva tive party, and gave the nation a hard hit for returnin. " a majority of dummies " to support Mr. Gladstone." He did not believe the Irish land question was the first of the day. The education problem was paramount ; and it was because the apostles of the new system of education were anxious to postpone its settlement until they had fabricated a certain amount of what they were pleased to call "public opinion," that they pushed the Irish land question to the front. Mr. Cawley, " though he would be sorry to do anything contrary to the sound principles of Free Trade," went in for Reciprocity. Mr. Tipping dealt with various matters, but principally with the fine and bold front which the Conservative men of Stockport presented to all the world. WORKIN(' MEN IN PARLIAMENT. Mr. Robert Coningsby writes an odd letter to prove that it would be a bad thing if working men got into Parliament in any great number. If artisans once get an idea that they can obtain a seat in the Legislature, they will renounce all notion of honest hard work. "The spectacle of men arguing themselves into power will be an exceedingly injurious one to have set before the rising genera tion of workmen." Then Mr. Coningsby thinks that working men would do no good by gaining a place in the Legislature to represent the interes ts of their class. It is true that selfish interests are now largely represented ; but the bankers, directors, and army officers all belong to the rich classes, and would all unite against the poor handworking M.P.'s. But has Mr. Coningsby forgotten that "the spectacle of men arguing themselves into power" is not unfrequently presented under existing circum stances by the wealthy ? Is there any reason why an artisan should not " argue himself into power," if the public are really willing to take him ? As to the combination of the rich against the poor M.P.'s, can that result be worse than the present state of things, when the wealthy have no working men to combine against, but carry everything their own way, even without a protest ? The last part of Mr. Connigsby's letter sheds a little light on the remainder. He, too, is a candidate for Southwark, and thinks his claims are prior to those of Mr. Odger. He has not retired from the field, but is only standing still for want of money. • He deemed Mr. Odger's candidature pre ' sumptuous. But would he have the goodness to tell us what Eort of a candidate he himself is ? THE CONSERVATIVES AND THE REFORM BILL. The Leicester Journal does not believe, as some affect to do, that the Conservative party is going, immediately to pieces. In an article, which is impor tant because it is believed to be inspired, the Journal expresses the strongest hope for the party of which it is the local organ. The writer is well pleased with the Reform Bill and its effects; and he goes through a number of statistics to shew that at the last elec tion things were not so very bad as they seemed. lie ridicules the idea that the Whigs are to be the allies of the Conservatives. Mr. Lowe, the professor of the doctrines of Malthus and. Martineau, the author of the phrase "musty parch ment" as applied to ancient charters—he a Conser vative leader! Impossible. And how could it be brought about ? Only by the Conservatives keeping in power, against the will of the Radicals, the Whig element of the Liberal party. This (says the Leicester Journal) is what the Quarterly would lead us to. That policy is impossible. The task which the party has to per form " is the maintenance, in their substantial inte grity, of those glorious institutions which have reconciled liberty with order, have imposed duties upon wealth, and separated poverty from disgrace; the results of accomplishing that task will be the perpetuation, in increasing grandeur, of the noblest Empire that ever owned subjection to the Cross ; and the prospect is encouraging, because throughout the ranks of this great historic party, from the owner of Blenheim or Belvoir to the hum blest weaver in Bolton or Belfast, there is an intelli gent conviction alike of the blessings enjoyed by all classes under our existing form of Government, and of the absolute necessity of cordial co-operation and mutual confidence between the party and its leaders if those blessings are to be preserved." TENANT RIGHT. The Stafford Chamber of Agriculture have been discussing the question of "tenant right." At the original meeting a resolution was proposed by Mr. Carrington Smith in favour of its recognition, and an amendment by Lord Harrowby, in favour of arrangements partly by mutual contract between landlord and tenant, for securing the latter adequate compensation for all improvements. At the adjourned meeting a compact between Mr. Smith and the noble lord was announced, resulting in the _proposal by the former of a resolution to the effect that all differences between landlord and tenant at the expiration of a tenancy should be sub mitted to arbitration. This resolution met the ap proval of Lord Lichfield and the other members of the board, and it was unanimously carried. PItOFESSOIt HUXLEY ON POLITICAL ETHNOLOGY, Professor Huxley has delivered a lecture on "The Forefathers and Forerunners of the English People" —the second of a series of " Sunday Evenings for the People," provided by the National Sunday League. The main object of the professor appears to be to combat the notion that any political weight is properly to be attached to the distinction between the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon races. He considers that there is full evidence to prove that in Ireland, as well as in Britain, the present population is made up of two parties, the one primitive, so far as history goes, and speaking a Celtic tongue, the other secondary and intrusive, and speaking a Teutonic tongue. He thinks it quite possible and probable that Ireland RS a whole contains less Teutonic blood than the eastern half of England, and more than the western half; he denies that the past affords any reason for dealing with the people of Ireland differently from the people of Devonshire, there being no difference whatever, except that of language, between Celt and Teuton. If this is true, the sooner we leave off drawing poli tical distinctions between Celt and Teuton the better. THE REWARD OF PUBLIC SERVANTS. "Sexaginta " lifts up his voice in favour of better payment for certain of our public servants. Alluding to the Boxer controversy, he thinks it not improbable that some fine day the Russian Government may engage the Colonel, at a salary of £5,000, to prepare an extra dose for the benefit of the sick man. Let us be wise in time, suggests " Sexaginta," and pay our good men according to their merits. " It appears to me that it is much easier to find a lawyer having the requisite ability for a judgeship, at a salary of £5,000 a year, than it is to find suitable persons to whom to intritst the construe- . tion of a national navy, or its armament, or the devising of an ammunition adapted to the changing and increaeinir roquironnata-91- naQdidti evirarfoxe , If one great railway nut's it wise t conoluy to pay its locomotive superintendent £5,000 a year, what should fairly be Ike calla Qur Oda N_aT yal MD. LOWE AND THE TENANT FARMEDS, " A Hard-working Farmer " informs the Globe that Mr. Lowe's famous tax-gathering measure affects him in a peculiarly disagreeable manner. He is a tenant farmer, and is in the habit of paying in Decem ber and June the half-yearly rent due at the preced ing Michaelmas and Lady-day. Now, this is the, way he suffers by the budget scheme : My landlord has hitherto allowed at each re•.t audit the deduction for landlord's property tax paid by mu in the preceding October and April; but at the last audit, in December, I was refused any deduction for property tax, as I had paid none for the current year. I was, therefore, obliged to pay my half-yearly rent in full. Within a few days of doing so, I must now pay under the new system my landlord's property tax for the whole year 1870, although I shall not get it back again from him until June next. The landlord, knowing full well that if his tenant paid no tax for the October quarters, he would have to pay them in January, might have made the allowance as usual. But even as it is, the farmer's cass is no worse than that of the general community. The principle of the budget scheme is that the pay ment of taxes should be antedated: - - to-senne-extent, and this principle affects all taxpayers alike. MR. lIOLYOARE ON EDUCATION. In a recent letter to the Daily News, Mr. Holyoake the well known Secularist, explained the principles upon which he would settle the education difficulty. He was not. altogether happy in the use of his terms; and we are not at all sure that we properly interpreted him, A second letter of his however, addressed to the editor of the Birmingham Gazette, puts his opinion more clearly before the public. He does not believe in " unsectarianism ; " he would not enforce secularism upon the schools ; and he quite admits the right of parents to obtain for their children religious education. But he holds that the State has nothing to do with religion "for it has no means of judging which is the true one." Education, however, is a necessity. In whatever way English ignorance may be mitigated, he would have it taken rather than that things should remain as they are. The State, therefore, should provide the means of education, but trust to the zeal of the sects to supplant the mere knowledge by religious teaching. Mr. Holyoake thinks Christians and moralists are fervent enough for this work, and he would not have any difficulty put in their way. His proposal is not sectarianism with a Conscience Clause, but mere secular teaching, to be supplemented from the out side, to such - children as care to attend it, by ministers and their friends. DEATH OF MR. TIDD PRATT. We much regret to announce the death of Mr. John Tidd Pratt, the Registrar of Friendly Societies, which took place on Sunday evening. The deceased lawyer was in his 72nd year, was called to the bar in 1824, held a post in the National Debt Office, and was employed to certify the rules of savings banks. He was the author of " Laws Relating to Friendly Societies, " A. Collection of the Public General Statutes," " The History of Sayings Banks," " The Laws of Highways," "An Analysis of the Property Tax Act," " Suggestions for the Establishment of Friendly Societies," and similar works. Mr. Pratt's services as Friendly Society Registrar deserve a high tribute of praise. His exertions to expose and frustrate the frauds which - are so frequently practised upon the working classes by means of clubs and the like. were untiring. THE CONGE VELIRE. The attention drawn to "the farce of conge d'elirc" has it was generally called) by the Temple agitation is likely to lead to an attempt to abolish it altogether. Whether or not Parliament takes the subject in hand, the Lower House of Convocation will at least discuss it. The venerable Archdeacon Allen, of Salop, has given notice of - his intention to move an amendment to the address to the Queen. He proposes to ins.ise the following clause : "We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, feeling that the conye d'elire, as issued to cathedral chapters in England and Wales, with the recommendation of a clergy man whom the chapter are not at liberty to pass over in the election of a bishop, may be justly charged with un reality, humbly solicit your Majesty to take counsel thereon, with a view to a measure being submitted to Parliament that shall relieve the consciences of some of your faithful subjects, members of the Church of Eng,lami, desirous of acting cheerfully in all respects in conformity with the laws of this realm." A. thorough ventilation of the subject, even in Con vocation, can do no harm. TEE BISUOP OF EXETER. Whatever may be said of Bishop Temple's ortho doxy, no complaint can be made of the zeal with which he has thrown himself into his work in his diocese. His proceedings since his entry into Exeter have been one record of industrious labour. It is to be hoped that his lordship will not overwork himself, and be stopped, as some of his right reverend brethren have been, by a break-down of his health. the last few days he has been at Plymouth. On Saturday evening he addressed the students in the School of Art, and distributed the prizes to them at a public meeting. On Sunday his lordship preached twice to crowded congregations, numbers who come to hear him having to go away. In his speech on art he administered a well-deserved rebuke to the inhabitants of Plymouth for the small interest they took in the Art School. He referred to the French Exhibition, and reminded his hearers of the alarm which was expressed when it was dis covered that other countries were overtaking us in our special points of competition as a nation. lie did not share in that alarm, but he thought the grumblim which accompanied it at what was being done in England had sonic foundation. Workmen wanted to learn principles. St. Paul's command that if a man did not work neither should he eat, was one with which the bishop said he had the profoundest sym pathy. Society.was now entering upon such a phase, that the industrious would rise, the lazy would sink. Everyman must do what he could for the good of his fellows. He could do that best when he knew most. Therefore he thought art schools useful, therefore he supported them. He would have the workman, with an enlarged basis of principle, to begin life ; those principles would aid him in the complete edu cation which his life would give him—the complete cultivation of his own mind. THE FIELD. The forecast is a long one, indeed ; but still it is satisfactory to know that things egri cultural promise well. Tho Magnet tells us that the young wheat plant is now shewing itself above ground, and, generally speaking, it looks promising and healthy, being as yet, free from all sickly dis colouration. There is a good supply of grass on the pastures, and cattle can still obtain a moderate feed. THE BALANCE OF TRADE. Mr. Dudley Baxter concludes the controversy on this subject in the Standard. He observes that the cardinal point on which the whole matter hangs is whether the surplus of imports over exports is a profit or a loss. To illustrate this he gives the United Kingdom as a great firm of capitalists, merchants, and ship owners, doing an immense business with a multitude of other national firms. At the end of the year their bookkeeper at the Board of Trade adds up the returns from the different ports, of the goods received from abroad into the warehouses of the firm, and finds them to amount in value to £295,000,000. On analysing the total, he - will find that part of it repre sents the debt due to the firm on the shipping accounts, being for the freights on their excess of ships employed. Another part of this total, say R 20,000,000, is due to the firm for bala nce of inte rest on their foreign loans. The remainder, say £202,000,000, represents the debt duo by the firms of the United Kingdom to the foreign firms for goods only. How, asks Mr. Baxter, has this been paid ? His answer is—By sending over the goods which are roughly set down by our bookkeeper as being worth 22271J00,000. That sum is the trade irco to Its, and the price at th 3 foreign ports on delivery to our present crndi tor will be from 15 to 20 per cent. higher. Thus it comes to pass that the debt is paid, and yet Ivo have received a balance of goods worth I:08,000,000 as our profit on ships and capital and trade. At this time, when the principles and practice of co 'operative societies engross so large a share of attention, it may be well that Messrs. Parkins and Gotto should remind the no bility and gentry that t he y havelor the last twenty years ail opted the practice of buying the best goods in large quantities direct from the manufacturers, marking every article in plain egure, B ; and retailing them at the smallest possible profit for s reuis money; and where, front distance or other causes, cali ments have been impossible, they have never inerease4 atc 1 1 .-C 3 of the articles delivered.
