THR RESIGNATION OF GLADSTONE.
individuals are apt to wonder how III,
Tories happen 10 be In power, backed by
strong majority. No one questions MI
Gladstones high spirit and high motives
In diSsolving Parliament, but II 10 gen
orally felt that he committed great blum
der. II took his friends, the whole Lib.
eral party, by surprise; while the Tories
setting their minds fully on office werI
prepared for the fght.
REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF ADMINS
TRAT1oN.
The Gladstone Government had offend
ed the vested interests all around BY
Army Reform, Navy Reform, Reform o.
the Civil Service, disestablishment OF the
Irish Church, and the licensed Victuallerl
| BY restrictions upon their neiarious traffic
Besides 1t had been long enough In office
TO
PROVOKE THE LOVERS OF CHANGE
for tho sake Of change to be changeable
with all that had gone wrong In air OF
earth or sea, and thus was turned adriit,
POLICY OF THE TORY PARTY.
The era Of activity Is 10 be succeeded
by the reign Of inertneas. Repose, max
ing things pleasant, letting things alone, Ia
to be the order Of the day. Our political
gods areto smoke the pipe peace on the
heights oi Olympus, while all below is 10
be serene and tranquil. We shall see.
Summers calm Is apt to breed sudden
thunder and fearful lightning.
PRIESTS AND PuBLIcANs.
Yet 1t has not been all unrufflsd, nor
the Treasury altogether a lotus bank.
The Ministry has been troubled from
what might seem TO the "inlelligent
foreigner" two opposite sides-but which,
as matter ol.fact, have been moet com.
monty In political alliance, priests and
publicans. The publican, as distinguish
ed from the public interest, went an masss
for the Conservative party, expecting, and
in TACT being led 10 expect great things on
the advent OF N. Disraeli-great reiava-
tions OF the Licensing Act Of Mr.. Glad
stones government.
THE MOUNTAIN IN LABOR.
Well, the great measure for national
degradation was duly introduced by Mr..
Cross, the Home Secretary, and It proved
OF the smallest dimensions. Il was hud-
died and muddled, amended and mauled,
so.as TO excite universal derision, and the
concessions made to the Beer and Barrel
interest are exceedingly homeopathic.
The mountain labored, and has brought
forth most ridiculous mouse, Hhereat

ished. he feels himself, like his liquor,
10 have been "sold." Then from the
other or clerical side comes
THE PUBLIC WORSHIP REGULATION BILL,
introduced by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, intended as a blow to the Rituals
tic party In the Church Of England, the
said Riluallsts being up. in arms against
It, and are loudly talking OF secession and
disestablishment. Now, whichever side
the leaders oi those in power may take,
they are sure to deeply and incurably Of
lend one side or the other.
BILL FOR ABoLIsHNG PATRONAGE IN THE
CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.
Apr0pOS of such matters is the govern.
ment bill, abolishing patronage in the
Church ol Scotland, the "accursed thing"
which led to the great disruption. II ia
an ingenious device TO m9intsin State
Church free from State control, and ID
avowedly brought forward by It's authors
in the interest Of Church establishments.
Hence the great bulk Of dissenters in
England and Scotland denounce the
measure. Yet it will probably pass. II
may delay, but cannot prevent the
INEVITABLE HOUR OF UNIVERSAL Discs.
TABLIsHAIRNT.
The bitterly hostile parties within the
Church, and the growing sentiment oil
the public mind outside, together with
the natural justice Of the case, all point
declsively 10 the coming era of perfect re-
llgious equality. The Church OF Eng.
land was certainly never more active
than now-which has begotten the fierce
rivalry within her pale-and It Is that fe
verish and fond excitement which pre
ssges the impending change. Happy fol
England when these ecclesiastical teudl
are removed from the courts and Parlia
ment.
THE LOCK OUT OF THE AGRICULTURAL
LABoRRRs.
Tho most important social fact Is the re
volt Of Hodge. The clods OF the soil art
astir with life. They have discovered
they are not clodS, but men. They have
asserted their claim to more than "per-
quisites" and starvation wages, and have
entered into "union" for the improvement
Of their condition. For this legal offens(
mo more-they have been "locked out
in thousands by their masters, the farm
ers.
HOW THE MOVEMENT Is REGARDED.
The general, the universal tide Of sym
pathy runs in their favor, enhanced by thI
judicious and peaceable manner in which
the movement has hitherto been conduc-
ted. Law and order, Just as much a
right, are on their side as well as humani
ty and political considerations. Number
are migrating to the manufacturing dis
tricts, and more are turning their faces t
Canada and the States.
THE CRISIS AND TIE VICTORY.
The months Of harvest are likely L
bring on crisis, and we cannot doub
! that the victory will be with the lsborer
to be followed ere long by their politica
/, eniranchisement. The agricultural coun
ties Of England will wear different aspec
when the tillers Of the soil find, and darG
call, their souls their own.
