nuecurely lodged in the walls, and the flooring was
much strained by the enormous weight of tools, lead,

THE DECADENCE OF TORYISSI IN

To the Editor.

hear Sir,—ls your oorrespondent bemused as well
as unused, or does he intend a kind of to quo ?
My allusion to his classics, or rather want of classics,
occupies exactly three lines of your print, hut it
ins to have produced the whole of " Amused
Radical's" effusion 01 today. Ilas it upset ii,s
stomach 111 pointed out, and by his own words
peed, that the " Amused Radical "was a snob. I
never made him one. Ile was self-made, in fact. I
may be a Tory prig, as he insinuates. In answer to
his challenge. I would name a Conservative Reform
recent enough for his defective memory—the Cruni•
nal Islw Amendment Act, ISKI, and ask him tocon•
sider why Radicals amid not introduce it ? Others
know. In the het few lines of to-day, I fancy the
" A sed Radical" waxes sarcastic, but, if so, I think
he is in the dark.

May I congratulate him ! His one idea for this
week is more pleasantly and shortly (74 lines instead
of 110, and perforce not lose wittily rsPressed)

RESIGNATION OF XL CHAMBER-

MR. GLADSTONE'S PEOPOsAL.s.

It was ..fficially announced on Saturday that Mr.

The official announesinent that the resignation. of
Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Trevelyan hate Isien
accepted by the queen ha• caused little mirrise in
political circle., the authoritative Infonnahon whirl,
we ha,,' been enabled to publish into Mud y
having shown the .vent hi be inevitable. Nearly a
month ago tlie rough outliner of Mr. sflatlatone'a
scheme having been cenin iiiiii cated privately to
certain of kill political friends, we Itinted at the retire
meat of Mr. Chatelierhiin md Sir. Trecrlyan as an
early probability. A fortnight latter it WIN “tat,,l
positively that both minister. had intimated to the
l'remier their inability to support his proposals, awl
had written lethint setting forth in detail their
reasons. In the interins a scheme had been aulimitted
lA, Ch. Cabinet, the first part in printed form and the
000,1111 part orally. Mr. Gladstone having suggested
a pereinal interview before • final decision WAS taken,
a second letter was written by Mr. Chamberlain cot,.
tenting willingly to this course, but 'minting riot that
under the circumstances lie could not cotuistently
attend the nest Cabinet 1.:01incill. The l'retnier
dci-
tented from this view, and Mr. Chamberlain, ant,
ordinating hia own eriehes to those of Mr. Gladstone,
agreed to be prerent at the next official meeting of
ininiaters. During the aucceeding two or three day.
great efforts were 'hr.& to bring about • reconeilia.

a mitt 11 thequeation. The iililections LO Gladatone's
pr..pomils were questions principle. and could only
he net by sacriMarg vital part* of the scheme Sir.
Chtimber.lain's contention was that the meadure
Home kide propm.ed really meant nothing leas than
paration, and although he was prepared to give
'Mend the widest form of local self-government con-
•ishent with the integrity 44 the empire, it was
impossible for him to be a party to the e.t.ablishment
of a Parliament in DeWitt .in the linos wt forth.
Sir Glailatone was willing to make considerable
in regard ti o his land piirchaise proposal*,
but he would not give way on the more material
ia,int, and the negotiations dropped. Practically,
therefore, there was nothing more to he decided when
the Cabinet met on Friday.

hold by the experience of the post, and reach ziwards
the ideals of the future by recognising the family no
the unit of the State, and requiring one mosal code
for men and women.
This principle it is which hasrallied men and women
of every clew, rank and denomination round the
cause, Lc., including women householders in the
imperial franchise.
But the present position of the Bill for extending
the Parliamentary Franchise to women. and the
present position of social questions generally will for

At this time, more than at any previous thus, the
National Society for Women's Suffrage should attract
the adhesion f all with whom party pleas have less
force than the desire to maintain the ',rarity of house
, and the honour of the State, for it offers a point of
union for those who seek the highest aims of citizen*
by establishing the equal citizenship of women, and
an equal moral code.
