much discomfort has been caused by the fact tha'
bis professions have found no realization IN prae-
tce The Conservatives, however who seek 70 out
lid the Radicals by avowing wish ior nationsi
economy are in this only seeking power by ABANDON
ins their principles. No man IN the Conserve
tive ranks ventures to propose the undoing either Oh
the FIVE radical steps taken by Mr. Gladstone SINCE
1858, viz, Irish Church disestablishment, lrish
land tenure abolition Of purchase in the army com
pulsory education ballot 1t is farce, therefore, 10
talk Of Conservative reaction in Great Britain.
But take the newest illustration. The last cleo
ton in England was the borough OF Newcastle-on-
TYNE. Who was returnedf Joseph Cowen, the
well-known Radical the friend and host OF Mazzini
and Garibaldi and one of the earliest avOwed adVo

Grafton. That the country has become dlscontented
with Mr. GladstOne's Government is true; but u IL
no little true that there is conservative reac'oh
that Mr. Diraeli refused last Summer to appear 10
the country when the occasion offered tse 10 hiih'
IL ia probable that there will be more Conservatives
elected and fewer Wings, but the Conservatives VIII
have to promise very radical measures IN oruef
to get returned Aud, in addition, the next Parma
ment will show sturdy Radical band to ray.round
such men az Henry Fawcett, Peter A. Taylor, and
Sir Charles Dixie. Mr. COwen Will most GER
tainly be reelected for Newcastle-on-Tyne For the
miners will probably be represented in the House OF
Commons They have at least three efficient candi-
dates, Messrs. Macdonald, Burt, and Crawford.
think Mr. Burt will be elected for Morpeth borough
which Sir George Grey has regarded as sacred to the
Wings II Mr.. Macdonald wins seat, then the
Miners Trades Unions will be represented by man
OF enormous will, energy, and intellect, backed by
an outside power exceeding that of any man now
sitting in Parliament Capt Maxse, who contests the
Tower Hamlets, is o Radical of the most advanced
type, o gentleman, and q landowner, but one
who foresees o terrible social revolt unless
wise legislation hindcrs the catastrophe. Tie

against public meetings and failed ignominiously
Mr. Chamberlain of Birmingham, te actual Mayor
OF that city, sympathizng largely with the Repubi

very hard for Sheffield. At Greenwich, If MIR.
adstones chances are to be estimated by the recent
election they will be poor for the Government can
didate Sir John Bennett then pOlled far less than
either his Radical opponent j. B. Langley, or the sue

much Conservative victory az liquor triumph.
The candidate was distiller, and Mr.. Bruces Ii
censing bin had irritated the whole of the licensed
yctuallere who voted ae one man against the Gov
ernment.
Hitherto in England we have had only two great
parties the Wing and the Tory or, as they prefer to
! be called the Liberal ana the Conservative, and

inst as sheep follow the bell-wether There is now
| Radical party growing, and believe that this
| party, which has mustered gallant little band
! even in the Parliament just slaughtered, will be
strengthened so materially in the Parliament about
TO be elected that will not only be strong enough
to prevent the Conservatives from retaining office
for any long term, even suppOsng they should win
it, but will be able materially to modify the Lib

the Radicals in the next Parliament and trust not to

play my part in the coming election struggle, de-
pends somewhat on the winds and waves. If Mr..
GadstOnes sudden surprise had been intended for
me- it could not have been more effectual but in
quitting your to me- most hOspitable shores to tight
for seat at Northampton, l cannot help recalling
Mr. Dsraels famous speech of last session, IN which
he said that landed aristocracy and crown both
