A WORD WITH Mn. GoscHEN.—For many rev
sons we are glad to see Mr. Goschen doing sollie
thing, even if it be very little. Mr. Goschen must bear in
mind that he has yet his spurs to win. Though we should
think it both premature and unjust to say that his ell°6
Parliamentary career has been a failure, yet we must nary
d:dly say, as true friends to him, that he has not been *
success. The reason for his accession as a member of the
late Government has yet to be justified. He brought with
him from Oxford a reputation for scholarship, and for *
certain kind of Union eloquence. Neither are of very
great use in the House of Commons at the present morcent"
when party feelings run high, and men require to be ieti
not with the light biscuit pastry of rhetoric, but the bread
of principles. By the Liberal press, Mr. Goschen has been
welcomed with praises, which would be more appropriate
if applied to a tried and veteran statesman than to a novice'
Those praises Mr. Goschen has still to justify. And, cer-;
tainly, ho bas not done much to justify them in his reeenii
speech ; yet still it was something. Ho spoke very °e,-
about generalities. He rightly dealt with the aim and °"'
ject of all individual exhibitions—to encourage a whole'
some, rational, and intellectual taste. He very proper",
dwelt upon the enormous.importance of such exhibition!
at the present crisis. He pointed out, too, how little 18a
known by the country at large of the working classee,t'ed
the confusion of ideas that exists respecting them ettt.
their habits and feelings. Here Mr. Goschen was flue
at
not to say voluble. But it does not require any very greli,
genius to expatiate for any length of time upon suchld
evident propositions. Lord John Manners himself We t
probably have said just the same words, only souterra
mere blandly. In both cases they are only so much Inel'e
butter. And we do not care about molted buttery to
speech to the working classes. Treacle is cheap, anp
many tastes, not pleasant. And to his melted butter
Goschen added a quantity of treacle. Young ladies, , g
believe, like it. And had Mr. Goschen been addreseleot
some ladies' college we should have nothing to say. S.re,
the working classes are not young ladies. They recitiLd
as we once heard from one of them, strong meat
"rammel cheese." And the strong meat they will not
from Mr. Goschen. He failed precisely where he faile is
the house. Ho wants more backbone. What he will ate
opposition next session we cannot possibly say, but de,(o
will certainly try his powers far more than they
hitherto been tried.—London Review.
