There is little to attract attention in Its for
nation. The absence of Sir EDWARD BULwER
LYTToN is noticeable, and gives rise to COM
ments in the British press. Mr.. HENLEY, also,
although previously identified with the Tory
Administration, holds no portfolio in the fusion
| Cabinet. The successful competitor of Mr..
GLADSTONE for the seat from oxford, Mr..
GATHoRNE hardy, comes in as President Of the
Poor Law Board. While the Duke of EU0K-
NGHAM and CHANDos is President of the
Council Lord CRANBoRNE well known as on
tributor to the Quarterly, is Secretary for India
1t cannot fail to be of interest to our read rs to
know something OF the past life OF each oil no Sc
who are now to have the control of the mighues
foreign power:--
EDWARD GEoFFREY SMITH STANLEY, Earl of
DERBY, is 81 years old. AT the age OF 81 he en-
tered Parliament, and distinguished himself as
a ready debater. In 1924 he was UnderSecretary
for the Colonies, which position he held under
two Administrations. In the year 1928 he went
away but when in 1880 Lord GREY formed a
reformed Cabinet, Mr.. STANLEY was appointed
Chief Secretary for Ireland. In 1888 he was ap-
pointed Secretary for the Colonies, with the
special charge OF abolshing slavery in the West
Indies, which duty he faithfully executed In ISn
he was Colonial Secretary under Sir ROBERT
PEEL. In 1874, before his accession to the
Peerage as Earl of DERBY, ne was created Baron
STANLEY, and took his seat IN the Peers. In l845,
upon the defeat of PEEL, Lord STANLEY was in
vited to form a Protective Cabinet, but declined.
In 1851 he succeeded to the vast estates OF the
Earl of DERBY. In 1862 Lord RUSSELL was de-
feated, and DERBY called upon TO form Cabinet,
which he did. His Ministry was shortlived, for
when the year went out they went out with it,
In 1858 RUSSELL again defeated when DERBY
once more came in. This also was as flower of
the field, Tor it perished in day. And now after
eight years. battling in the opposition, he is once
more at the head OF affairs 1t is probable that
his official service will cease before the year has
expired.
The Right Hon. BENJAMIN DIsRAELI is sixty
one years of age. He commenced the study of
the law in London; but on the appearance of
''Vivian Grey" and other novels he rose rapidly
into public notice. In 1881 he stood Tor Parlia-
ment, but was defeated. The same ambition
and result occurred in 1884 Again, in 1887, he
stood, and that time with success. His reputa-
ton is rather OF literary than political nature,
although he IS an able speaker. In lS49 he was
the head of the Commons. In 1862 he was
Chancellor of the Exchequer under DERBY. He
held the same Office in 1859, and now, for the
fourth time. holds it in 1866. 1t will be noticed
that two men renowned in the field of letters
are the heads of the most powerful Government
OF Europe-DLRBY, as translator of "Homer,"
and DIsRAELI, as a novelist.
Lord EDWARD HENRY STANLEY, the oldest son
of the Earl of DERBY, was born at Knowsley in
1926. In 1S48 he was elected member for Lynn
Regis. as the successor of Lord G. BENTINoK.
In 1850 he delivered a celebrated speech ON the
subject of the Sugar Colonies. He then visited
India, and during his absence was appointed, in
March, 1852, UnderSecretary of State for For.
eign Affairs in the DERBY Ministry. Though
conservative in politics, he entertains very
liberal opinions on many subjects, such as the
Church rates. When Sir W. WORDSWORTH died
in 1856, and vacancy was thereby created in
the Colonial Office, Lord PALMERsroN offered
Lord STANLEY The seals of the Office, the accept
ance of which he however declined. In 1868
and 1859, when his father again came into power
he was appointed Secretary of State for India.
The Right Hon. HENRY HOWARD HERBERT
Earl of CARNARvoN, who has been appointed
Secretary for the Colonies, was born in 1881, and
graduated at Christ Church, Oxford, in 1852
During his minority he succeeded to the title
and estates of his father, and soon after taking
his seat in the Upper House. he made his maiden
speech which called forth the encomiums of
the Earl of DERBY. In 1859 he was nominated
by the same distinguished statesman High
Steward of the University of Oxford. Earl
CARNARvoN has his reputation yet to make.
1The Right Honorable SPEE GER HoRArIo WAL
POLE, who holds the office of Home Secretary
for the third time, was born in 1906, and edu-
Gated at Cambridge, where he obtained good
deal of distinction. AS Secretary of State for
the Home Department IN Lord DERBY's Cabinet
of 1852, he carried through Parliament the bill
for embodying the militia. He returned to office
with Lord DERBY in the same capacity. He has
represented the University OF Cambridge in the
House of Commons since 1856. He is great
grandson OF the famous SIR ROBERT WALPoLE.
trst Earl OF OXFORD.
