COLLIERY EXPLOSION IN STAFFORDSHIRE. -- On

------ -
Wednesday night an explosion of firedamp occurred at the
Woodshutts Colliery, Talke-o'-th'-Hill, Staffordshire, be-
longing to Messrs. Cooper and Haslope, in the neighbour-
hood of the pit at which 90 men were killed in December
1895. There were two men killed instantly ; two others
were so severely burnt that they only lived a short time
after the explosion, and others were more or loss injured.
The deceased men were named James Griffiths, William
Smith, Thomas Cooke, and Joseph Haines. Besides the
loss of human life some horses have been killed. Had the
explosion occurred earlier, when there were more of the
men at work, the loss of life must have been enormous.

THE TENANT BIGHT AGITATION.

The wild proceedings of the tenant-right agitators
will certainly not have the effect of lightening the
labours of the Government. Nothing can be more
truly Irish than some of the doings at the meetings
in various parts of the country. One assembly declared
in favour of fixity of tenure, and then affirmed
that no Land Bill could be satisfactory.
"in which equitable provision is not made for the
labouring classes of the community." How, asks the
Times, can these two objects be reconciled, unless the
wages of labourers are to be regulated by law ? The
farmer only is interested in fixity of -tenure; con-
tinued possession, in fact, must have the effect of
excluding the labourer from any chance of obtaining
land which he may have now. At the same meeting
Sir John Gray, M.P., "ridiculed the mockeiTof leases
and compensation for improvements as wholly in-
sufficient.' Is it likely, asks the "leading journal"
that this advocacy of impracticable claims will
aid Mr. Gladstone in his task. " Such a lack of
moderation and foresight on the part of persons who
ought to guide popular opinion in Ireland can have
but one result—it must inevitably weaken the hands
of those, both within and without the Cabinet, who
are prepared to grapple boldly with Irish Land
Tenure, and strengthen the hands of those
who share the fears avowed by Lord Har-
tington." Judging by the extreme pledges which are
being made by Irish Liberal M.P.s and candidates—
witness such a man as Mr. Heron—it looks as if the
Government would have some trouble with its Irish
supporters. The Times affirms that the agitators are
fruitlessly disgusting their best friends. The Govern-
ment measure will include a right of compensation
for improvements; it will very probably recognise the
right of the tenant to compensation for his good-will,
and encourage voluntary leases ; but "it cannot
and will not outrage every rule of law and justice
by rrranting indiscriminate fixity of tenure at a per-
petual rent"

t is short exchange on London is 251. 151 per £1 Merlin;

WORKING ➢LEN CANDIDATES.

The working men have quarrelled about weir
representation in Parliament. The delegate* I,'
divers trade and co-operative organisations
London met on Thursday night to consider the
prospectus and rules of the newly-formed Labour
Representation League. It was explained by the
chairman and secretary of the League that its object
was to watch over working-man interests in general:
to bring about such united action as would
secure a genuine representation of labour in
Parliament; to collect information on ques-
tions affecting the working classes ; to
promote registration ; to draw up measures in the
interest of labour ; to watch the progress of bills ;
and—it may be presumed—to watch the working-
men representatives who have charge of those bills.
Mr. Odger then moved a resolution approving of the
objects of the League. He said that the direct
representation of labour in Parliament had
been advocated in both Houses; but when
the Reform Bill afforded an opportunity for
putting theory into practice, the claims of the four
working men who presented themselves as candidates
were studiously ignored. The workinc, classes had
come to the conclusion that the middle classes were
but sorry representatives of labour in Parliament,
and for the future intended to look after themselves.

—But the working men at this meeting found some
little difficulty in looking after themselves. After
Mr. Odger's speech came the deluge. A Mr. Young,
who may be known to fame as the president of a
congress of workingmen latley held in Switzerland,
insisted that the League should publish "a
distinct platform." What he wanted was by
no means clear, nor dill the speakers who
supported him, Mr. Mudge, by any means mend
matters. This gentleman, who mingled his discourse
with the choicest specimens of blasphemy, denounced
the rules of the League as despotic, violently attacked
trades unions, moved an amendment hostile to the
League, and demanded " a broad principle of demo-
cratic equality." There, was, however, some common
sense present, for one working man wanted to lmow
whether such rubbish was " to go on ;" whereupon a
great tumult arose, and the cause thereof speedily
revealed itself. There was a malcontent party in the
room, headed by that seeker after truth—Mr. Brad-
laugh. Mr. Bradlaugh is not a member of the
Executive Committee of the League, neither are
his associates, and hence the row which they con-
trived to raise. The Executive, they declared, had
"elected themselves." But, satisfactory to tell, the
i 3 rad lau g, hite s came off second best. The chairman
stated that the meeting would be formed into a
council, and that it would, therefore, have the power
by its votes of guiding the policy of the League. Mr.
Odger's resolution was carried, and Mr. Bradlaugh
and his party withdrew. If the working men wish
to prosper in this movement, they will do well to get
rid of these allies.

TrIE DISAITNAMENT QUESTION.

The proposition for disarmament which has been made
In the Prussian Parliament by the Progressist member,
Herr Virchow,
has produced some effect in Dresden. A
despatch states that thirteen Saxon deputies of the
Progressist school have laid down a similar
plan, which is more precise in its form. The
Prussian deputy was hindered by the incompe
tency of the Pris i m Parliament to deal with the mili-
tary question. the Saxon deputies have forestalled thie
objection by eimply requesting the Government to
use its influerce with the Northern Confederatior
to obtain a ;eduction of military expenses, and
to work with a 'view to a general disarmament
The Prussian Government seem to be annoyed with these
economical projscts, and they are rather sharply dealt witb
in the Berlin Cerrespondenee. On Sunday next there will
be a meeting ef delegates from all parts of Berlin for the

A PROFESSOR'S BROTHER.

Professor Max Muller is blessed with a " brother "
who is a decided credit to the family. The
Professor's relative has attained considerable
academical distinctions, for he has taken, as the
German scholar says, a double first in the schools
of mendicity and 1 mendacity. It is the practice
of this person to call upon some friend of the Pro-
fessor, state that he has been robbed on the way,
and that he wants some money to enable him to go
to Oxford, the sum to be returned immediately. In
this way the worthy "brother " has deceived a con-
siderable number of persons. Professor Max Muller
has more than once announced that he never had a
brother, and that the man is, of course, an impostor ;
but this warning
.does not seem to put an end to the
flourishing trade in fraternal affection.

THE TEMPLE CONTROVERSY.

In less than a week Dr. Temple will be the elected
Bishop of Exeter, and will require nothing but con-
secration to make him the head of the diocese. It is
therefore to be hoped that the controversy about him
will soon end. It can now, it is obvious, lead no-
whither ; no result can be served by continuing it.
The correspondence which has passed between the
Earl of Shaftesbury and the Premier ought reasonably
to be regarded as the end of the question.
Earl Shaftesbury, while professing every respect
for the talents and personal character of the Bishop
designate, declared on behalf of numerous memo-
rialists that a share in the composition of such a
work as "Essays and Reviews" was by them regarded
as an absolute disqualification for the sacred office of
bishop. To this memorial Mr. Gladstone replied,
" with sincere respect" to the memorialists, and full
admission as to his responsibility in the matter, but
assuring his lordship that the advice to nomi-
nate Dr. Temple was not given to the Crown
" without a full consideration of the t3pics urged in
the memorial and a firm conviction that the appoint-
ment of Dr. Tomplo to the epiecorate would thnd to
promote the truest interests of religion."

COTTON SUPPLY.

Mr. Cheetham, president of the Cotton Supply
Association, takes a gloomy -view of our American
prospects. We are now in the fourth year of peace,
and yet the American supply is not greater than it
was in the first. We used to get from four to five
millions of bales from the Southern States. Since
the war the supply has never attained two millions
and a half; this year it was not more than two
millions and a quarter. It will be well, Mr. Cheetham
thinks, not to place further reliance upon cotton from
across the Atlantic ; but to develop our Indian re-
sources. The Indian crop is steadily improving ;
within a few years it has advanced from half a million
to two million bales. The president of the Cotton Supply
Association gives it as the unanimous opinion of his
brethren that the chief want of India is agricultural
improvement. In the United States an acre of ground
yields 4001 b. of cotton ; in India it yields 701 b. ".The
common-sense view of the matter is evidently to make
the Indian 701 b. per acre into 1401 b.; that accom-
plished, the whole of our work will be done.'? Indian
agriculture may be improved by healthy seeds, good
manures, irrigation, and the like. Let the supply be
thus increased, and the price of cotton will fall—
which, in the opinion of the Association, is all that is
needed.

THE LIVERY COMPANIES OF LONDON.

It is the fashion to sneer very cruelly at the metro-
politan livery companies. The attacks upon them have
not always been undeserved. The City corporations are
very wealthy; they hold public money in trust;
they have had great opportunities of doing good ; yet
their educational institutions have, in too many
instances, been restricted by ancient and obsolete
provisions, and the great funds at the disposal of the
liveries have been used merely for great and sumptuous
dinners. It is to be hoped that the era of somnolent
wealth has passed away. The livery companies are
up and doing. The present Lord Mayor has called
them together, and warned them that unless they
use their money properly they will lose it
altogether. The force of the caution was
acknowledged, and when Mr. Alderman Lawrence
went on to advise the companies to promote technical
education, the meetinr, took the matter up warmly,
and a committee is to be appointed to confer upon the
matter. A wiser course could not have been taken,
or a better time chosen. The country will not have
corporate property lying
idle or misapplied ; and at no
time was there such a general demand for education.
We hope the corporations will continue in their pre-
sent good mind, and that the efforts they may make
may be successful. That Mr. Lawrence should have
originated such a movement will be much more
honourable to him than his reception to-day of the
Queen; though the latter, and not the former, will
win him a baronetage.

M. VICTOR HUGO ON "L'IIOII3LE QUI lUT."

M. Hugo seems to be highly satisfied with his latest
production, "L'Homme qui rit." He not very long
since wrote a letter expressly for Englishmen about
this new work of his. Now the critics have
said since this letter was written, but
before it appeared that the history in
" L'Homme qui lit" is execrable. But the
writer of the book shows us how much superior he is
to such attacks; he claims for the work that it has
laid bare " a certain side almost unknown of English
history," and he expects his revelations to " startle "
England. The sticklers for purity amongst
us have charged M. Hugo's work, more-
over, with impurity. But he says, in a com-
placent reply, " I am not responsible for that ; to
Stuartism and Catholicism the blame must be
imputed," " I am but an historian and philosopher."
And then M. Hugo goes on to claim for his novel that
it is a " human book," that it rises as he himself
does "above the old jealousies of races ;" it deals
impartially. There is " romance "in the book—or in
other words, there is "drama and history." "I love
England," M. llugo adds, " and my work will prove
it to her."

DEMONSTRATIVE PROTESTANTS.

The fourth of November is a great day for Protes-
tants on several accounts. It is the birthday of
William 111., the eve of the day on which he landed
at Torbay, and likewise the eve of the Gunpowder
Plot anniversary. To commemorate all these great
events, a grand Protestant demonstration was held
in Exeter hail on Thursday evening. What kind of
a meeting it was may be inferred from the fact that
Mr. Charley, M.P., took the chair. Ho delivered a
truly Charleyan speech. The remembrances of that
night were melancholy as well as joyful. The Gunpow-
der Plot had, indeed, been gloriously frustrated in 1603;
but a worse plot had been hatched and suc-
cessfully consummated in 1869. Mr. Glad-
stone, said Mr. Charley, had destroyed in
Ireland the union of Church and State, the
Royal supremacy, and the spiritual peerage, while
he had endangered the Protestant succession to the
Throne, and made that once august assembly, the
House of Lords, the laughing-stock of Europe by con-
verting it into a mere registration office for recording
the votes of a tyrant majority in the House of Commons.
Then there was the Dr. Temple affair. Clearly
there was reason to bewail present woes, as well as
to rejoice at past victories; and the meeting bewailed
accordingly. It was agreed, however, by more than
one person that Dr. Temple's poison was better than
Dr. Pusey's syrup, and there was some consolation in
that. Moreover, though the spirit of Protestantism
had been damped by the spa and ignominious sur-
render of the House of Lords, yet it would revive;
and another general election would put all things
right.

THE OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. PROSECUTION.

The Committee of Supervision have issued a
circular to the shareholders of Overend, Gurney, and
Co., respecting Dr. Thom's application that the
liquidators may conduct the prosecution which he
has commenced against the directors. The Com-
mittee oppose that application. They affirm that the
proceedings of Dr. Thorn and those who have acted
with him, have had a lamentable effect upon the
liquidators. There was a time when the creditors,
sympathising with the calamity which had befallen
e sbarelioldcres were willing to

Policies which constantly lave. so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only ; the estimated re-
