THE SECOND GREAT QUESTION. According to a correspondent of the Standard, the two leading questions of the clay are the Irish Church and the interest of the licensed victuallers. The pub licans are reminded that not only is the Gladstonian party laying sacrilegious hands upon the endowments of the Church, but that the same party has attacked tha venerable interests of " mine host. It was Mr. Gladstone who set the grocers in antagonism to the publicans, and caused that monstrous scandal, the selling of tea at a public-house bar and the exposure of fruity wines to the heat of the sun in the window of the enterprising grocer. Should Mr. Gladstone succeed to power, the trade of the licensed victualler is doomed. It is said sometimes that the Church can never take any harm from dig establishment, and that the State alone will suffer. The publicans are evidently afraid of the withdrawal of State aid. - A GOOD CANDIDATE. The Birmingham Gazette announces that Shrews bury was on Saturday in a state of great excite ment because it was rumoured that another candidate was coining forward for South Shrop shire. The rumour proved correct. Colonel Corbett has announced himself as a " Consti tutional " candidate, and the Gazette, a " Con stitutional" paper, thus describes his qualifica tions. He is " a favourite of the farmers, a good landlord, a generous friend, and" (by way of climax) "a spirited fox-hunter." The Gazette appears to think that the Treasury benches are to be taken at a flying jump, and that the first qualification for a seat in `Parliament is a good seat in the saddle. This is not unnatural on the part of those politicians who have to take leaps in the dark. MR. ODGER. The arbitration having gone against Mr. Odger, he has not only retired from his candidature at Chelsea, but is honourably doing his best to promote the return of the other Liberal candidates for Chelsea —Sir Henry Hoare and Mr. Dillie. We hope that his example will be followed by candidates in other constituencies where the success of the Liberal party is endangered by a superfluity of competitors. .= COX OF FINSBURY. Mr. Cox, who aforetime represented Finsbury, again comes before the electors, confident that the new Reform Act comprehends many who would have voted for him long ago if they had had the franchise. He is tolerably liberal in his views, advocating man hood suffrage, the disestablishment and the dis endowment of the Irish Church, and the legali sation of trades unions. He would open the British Museum on Sundays, and would vote against the total closing of public-houses on that day, his reason being that he likes a glass of beer himself. He announces that he was the same plain, outspoken William Cox that he was thirteen or fourteen years ago. The readers of Punch will be very glad to hear it, for Mr. Cox used to make a weekly appearance in that paper, every scrap of parliamentary Latin being translated for his especial benefit. Mr. Whalley will have a rest should "plain, outspoken William Cox" have authority given him to speak for the intelligent electors of -Finsbury. A DUKE VILIFIED. The Morning Post contains a letter signed "No Duke," but which, if we may judge from the promi nence given it, is penned by some person of impor tance. The letter refers to the late attacks upon the Duke of Marlborough by the Rev. Mr. Sidgwick and. others. The writer thinks there is something par ticularly pleasant in attacking a duke ) and that it is very convenient, 'after vituperating him by name in one passage, to relieve the monotony by commencing a new paragraph of attack upon " his Grace." It appears from the statement of the writer that the number of the electors of Woodstock over whom the duke has influence as tenants is only about one-sixth of the constituency. "No Duke " has perfect belief in the statement of the duke that he will not exercise any undue influence over them, but, as aLiberal, he fears that the voters of Woodstock will be so disgusted by the conduct of some of those wan dering politicians who come to support their friend Mr. Brodrick, and by the threats held out to the borough of disfranchisement, that they will return a Conservative candidate, a course of conduct which, if they had been let alone, they might not have been disposed to adopt. CLERICAL POLITICIANS. The Seiwyns do good service in Church and State. One is a bishop, one a lord justice, and a third Mar garet Professor of Divinity at Cambridge. The last has issued a letter, addressed to the electors of the county and of the borough of Cambridge. He thinks that there never has been such an attack as the present made upon the Reformed Church since the days of James 11., and prophesies that when by the voice of the people it shall be declared in the coming elections that the property devoted to the service of God shall not be confiscated by the State, there will b e such a shout of joy as has not been heard since the acquittal of the seven bishops. He concludes his address with the words— A thousand years scarce serve to build a State, An hour may lay it in the dust. The Daily News significantly remarks that these were the very words used by the present Lord Chief Jus tice Whiteside, when, in May 1864, Mr. Gladstone gave his assent to Mr. Baines's a borough franchise bill. Dr. Templehas been again arguing against the Con servative doctrine on the coronation oath, and says that because a man swears not to discharge his tailor's bill, that does not destroy the tailor's right to be paid. Or, to use another of the rev. gentleman's apt analogies, because Herod swore that he would give the daughter of Herodias whatever she might ask for bewitching him with her graceful dancing, and because that amiable young lady demanded the head of John the Baptist, that did not take away the Baptist's right to have his head kept on his shoulders. So much for what may be urged by Ireland as the claimant of justice. On the other hand, speaking through Parliament, the whole people may in effect say, " A past Parliament exacted from the Crown an oath to maintain the Irish Establishment ; we hold that oath to have been bad, and now we release the Crown from the obliga tion." TIIE ECCLESIASTICAL APPOINTMENTS. The Standard announces that the Queen has been graciously pleased to confer the deanery of Lichfield on the Rev. Canon Champneys, vicar of St. Pancras. The canonry of St. Paul's thus vacated will be filled by the Rev. George Prothero, rector of Whipping ham. The vacant canonry of Westminster has been conferred on the Rev. F. K. Leighton, D.D., Warden of All Souls ; and the Rev. William Bright, A.M., of University College, Oxford, has been, in succession to the Dean of St. Paul's, appointed Professor of Ecclesiastical History in that university, and will succeed to the canonry of Christ Church annexed to that office. TILE ARCHIEPISCOPAL RF.SIDENCR. Suggestions are being freely made as to the resi dence of the next Archbishop of Canterbury, and the rival claims of Canterbury and London are discussed. Addington is forty miles nearer London than Canter bury. So say those who advocate the claims of the metropolis. Those who think Canterbury has the first claim have no difficulty in proving that Canter bury is 40 miles off Addington. Lambeth.

Should such an arrangement be possible, it would have the best effect, and might tend to remove that favourite theory of the very poor, that the higher classes, and especially the clergy, get all they can, and take good care to keep all they get. - ) A GENUINE WILBERFOItCE. The Bishop of Oxford is faithful to the memory of his father and the cause which made his name famous. On All Saints Day he preached at two Derby churches in aid of the funds of the - Universities' Mission to Central Africa. The Bishop has ever spoken plainly upon slavery, and on this occasion he said : " The accursed trade in slaves was the great demoraliser of Africa. Livingstone tells us he could trace tins demoralisation in its deadening shadow reaching principally to the uttermost limit which . the slave tr a d e reached, inducina war and dimens; on, misery, distress, and utter degradatino )2 every kind. And that was our doing, upon this world of God's—our doing, more than that of any other people on the earth—our doing, to whom God had given so much. Well, then, I say, we are bound to cut off the entail of the curse, which no amount of sitting down and weeping for what our forefathers did not achieve can v ipe away. As men we must undo the coil, and we can undo. it only by bringing the Gospel of Christ to the races we have injured. The Bishop found a sympathetic audience in the good people of Derby, for when he preached at the Holy Innocents' Church in the evening, they flocked in such numbers to hear the silver-tongued orator, that there was a tremendous rush for seats, and only about one-third of the crowd could be admitted. TUE DISPUTE BETWEEN CAPITAL AND LABOUR. Happily just now we aro free from great strikes. But they again threaten to make the winter a time of misery for the men and trouble to the masters. The first motion towards a strike has been made in the South Yorkshire colliery districts. The men who submitted to a reduction of five per cent. in their wages in April last now demand a restoration. The masters object, and " certain steps " are about to be taken by the Miners' Association. It is to be hoped that these will be in the direction of peace. The men of Darlington -- have formed an iron company on the co-operative principle, in which strikes would be against them selves. It is satisfactory to see that this solution of the problem is likely to be worked out. As to the government of trades unions, it is said that the bill supported by Professor Beesly and agreed to at the recent conference has received over 300 sup porters from among the candidates now before the constituencies. The Professor himself writes in support of it to the Daily News. From his explanation it appears that there is no attempt to alter the law concerning intimidation, or to overrule the judgment of Mr. Baron Bramwell on picketing. The third clause, however, omits the word " intimi dation." It seeks to enact that "if any person shall, by violence to the person or property, or by the threat of such violence, or by the threat of . the com mission of any offence punishable by statute, force or endeavour to force any man to pursue any course of action in trade matters, he shall be liable to imprisonment for three months, with or without hard labour." -z FEMALE SurTEAGE IN SCOTLAND. We have bad news for Miss Becker and her friends. Seven Scotch ladies were confident enough to appeal to the Edinburgh Registration Court to put their names on the register of voters. Lord Ardmillan heard the appeal on Friday last. But Lord Ardmillan's hard heart was not touched by it, and he quashed their claims unceremoniously. Within now a few hours the claims of the English dames will be decided. It must be an anxious time for them. MR. DOULTON'S CASE. Mr. Doulton's friends—the shareholders of the Belgian Public Works—are determined that their affection for him shall not be overlooked. They are full of gratitude to him for having induced them to become shareholders in the enterprise which, accord ing to him, is likely to make their fortunes. When, therefore, he complained that he had not at Brussels the " crucial test of cross-examination and the laws of English jurisprudence," they determined to remove all such cause of complaint; and he is to have the full benefit of British law. In announcing this the shareholders hint at another pot de yin. Meanwhile Mr. Doulton sends another explanation of his transactions to the papers. He says that he has commenced an action against Mr. Clench, and on his part also the matter is to come before the English court. With regard to the contract, he declares that all that part of the business fell .upon him, and had nothing really to do with the company. It has been asserted that there were two contracts made with Messrs. Mention and Sons, and for dif ferent amounts. " This," Mr. Doulton writes, "is not so; there never has been but one contract with Messrs. Mention, and that for the sum of £598,000. Previously to entering into this contract, the con tractors had, necessarily for, their own guidance as well as mine, ascertained what the cost of the works alone would be ; but, as I have said, no contract for other than this amount was ever entered into. The board knew but of this one contract, which was for a price in harmony with all the representations made to them—viz., that the price of the works would be £600,000." THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH ON SCIENCE SCHOOLS. The Duke of Marlborough seems to be very much afraid that the Government will do too much in the matter of education. In a speech at Oxford, recently, he deprecated very earnestly the panic produced by the Paris Exhibition. An impression, he said, seemed to prevail that it was necessary for the Government to step in and take some decisive step which would so far place our technical education on a footing which would render us able to compete with other countries. He thought they should look very carefully, however, on a point of this kind. If they looked to all the great successes that had occurred in the country in art manufacture, produc tion, and invention, they would find it had not been by the action of Government, but by that of enter prising individuals. He wished to impress upon the public the necessity of looking to themselves in this matter. Doubtless, his grace would like, as a member of the Government, to shirk responsibility on this question, and to thrown it on that vague committee, the public. But the public will wake up to the importance of the question sooner than the President of the Council would wish. THE LEEDS ART EXHIBITION. The Art Exhibition at Leeds has done a gooa work. It is a favourite reproach to the North of England that it is destitute of refinement. Suck exhibitions as that just closed would soon alter this state of things, and make the sneer of no effect. Some half a million are said to have visited this building. In it were collected some of the finest works which the country possesses. THE WEATHER AND COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS. Mr. Thomas Plant, F.M.S., writing to the Times, opens up an interesting study, and one in which—if his speculations are correct—inves tigation would be of incalculable use to the community. He attributes colliery explosions in many cases to the influence of the weather. A. sudden rush of cold air, followed as quickly by warm, thick, foggy atmosphere, and a rapid relaxa, tion of atmospheric pressure abruptly succeeding high pressure, should, he says, give occasion • for serious apprehension. With such frequent and sudden atmospheric changes the shafts cannot transmit into the pits an equal distribution of air, as regards its dryness or dampness, heat or cold. Without the greates possible precautions, therefore, conditions must at times exist which may at any moment induce explosions most terrible to contemplate in their con sequences. Mr. Plant claims to have tried the ques tion by experiments, and he finds his theory correct. We commend the matter to the serious consideration of the " scientific world." A MAN'S A MAN FOIL A' THAT. The Times bids timid Tories take courage. Niagara has not yet swept away our reverence for a title. These remarks refer to the case of the forgery upon the Earl of Dudley and Ward, that favourite of fortune. Lord Dudley was subpoenaed as principal witness, but did not appear, sending a telegram to his solicitor to explain his absence. When it was read in open court, Mr. Justice Byles made this remarkable announcement : " I shall deal with Lord Dudley as I should with anybody else." Nobody supposed that ho would do any other, until he actually adopted the course he was at such pains to denounce he should not adopt. The jury were locked up for twenty hours to give his lordship time to appear, and when the case came on the recogni sauces of the earl were not estreated, and the com pliments between the earl and the judge were very pleasant and edifying. Lord Dudley offered to see that neither the prisoners nor the public were out of pocket by his neglect', so, instead of reprimand or estreatment of recogni sances, Mr. Justice Dylcs considerately reminded him that the expens!-s he was prepared to incur would exceed the estreatmen. The earl appeared to be the only person in the court who remembered that the law knew no distinctions. The condescension of the great lean quite overwhelmed the judge, and reminds one of that touching story of the College Don who burst into tears when an earl apologised to him for putting wax into his boots. We can hardly wonder, with this instructive picture before us, that Lord Ranelagh should imagine, in the late "Rachel" trial, that he could make a " public explanation " in the witness-box. Governor Bullock of Eastern Massachusetts has removed John S. Hunt from the office of State constable for official misconduct.
