eisse—ll Mr. Saw DROSS' will allow us to say so—
is sot manned to the official besehea.
The cause of this shortcoming is not very hard
to find. A party which has consented to accept
the partial abnegation of its principles as the eon- I
dition of its success is not likely to awake much I
enthusiasm in young minds. If in such a con-
juncture there is • supply of new blood from the
class which is in a manner born to political life, I
this characteristic weakness of • temporizing
policy may attract but little notice. Bet if '
this source happens to have run dry, as
from time to time will be the case,
the effects of public indifference become very ap-
parent. Has there, we ask, been anything in the
conduct of the Government during the last few
years, to induce men to "scorn delights and live
" laborious days " in order to qualify themselves
for admission into the official body T Has there
been anything in the course of our recent policy
which could make men eager to exchange the free-
dom of leisure or the profits of business for hard
work and indifferent pay, merely that they may
be able to lay claim in atter years to the glory of
having shared in promoting it t The one boast of
the present Administration has been its finance, but
in this respect the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
so obviously needs no assistance that he I
cannot be considered as inviting i
t; while in
1
every other respect the parliamenary work
of the Government has been entirely
modelled on the routine of the public offices, and,
except that it does not imply an examination, an
offer of • Lordship of the Treasury has had scarcely
more attractions than a nomination in the Civil
Service. The first condition of a supply of fresh
blood for the composition of the Administration
must be the restoration of • new and vigorous life
to the policy of the Liberal party. So long as the
army loiters away its time in garrison, it cannot
wonder if it gets no recruits ; but let the leaders
only take the field, and there will be no lack of
soldiers to rally round the old standards.
