The Elections In Great Britain.

1t is now no longer a disputable question
whether the present election contest has gone
against Mr. Gladstone and. the liberal party
as he represented it The promise now
is that parties will be almost equally
divided, and the question is not SO
much whether Mr. Gladstone will be able
to remain in Office as whether he will resign
now or wait until Parliament reassembles.
The London Times, a not unfaithful index OF
the ruling sentiment, advises the resignation
of the Ministry in the interval between the
conclusion of the election and the reassem-
bling of Parliament Mr. Gladstone's defeat
and the causes thereof constitute one
of the most interesting problems OF the
hour. Five years ago how popular and how
powerful he was 4! In the interval at the
head of great party, he has been able to I'M
dertake and accomplish great work. He has
attacked two ancient Irish grievances. The
Irish Church establishment has gone, and
Irish land tenure has been modified in the
interest of the farmer and peasant class. An
attempt at reform in the higher spheres Of
Irish education, although it proved failure.
was as bold and noble as it was just. While
doing so much for Ireland he found time to
think of the British Army and of the educa-
tional interests Of England and Scotland; and
the abolition of purchase in the army, as we'll
as the educational measures for the two king
doms, gave proof of his good intentions for
the welfare of the Empire. Good intentions,
however, do not always take the shape of sat-
isfactory results, and well-meaning sometimes
proves o failure All this Mr. Glad
stone knows to-day. His Irish Church
reforms frightened the Church of England,
his land tenure and army reform disguised
the aristocracy, and his educational measures
had the bad fault that, while they pleased no
party, they offended all Unhappily, too, Mr..
Gladstone has not been able to fulfil his prom
Use to reduce the national expenditure. He
cultivated peace with the United States against
the will and wishes of the tories, he found no
cause Of war against Russia in the matter of
Khiva, but he made war against the Asian
tees, and for this war against the "man and
the brother the tories indict him. Periodi-
cally England wants a change of government
and the constitution happily makes such
change easy of accomplishment England
was tired Of Palmerston before Palmerston
died. England is tired of Gladstone while
Gladstone lives. The two regimes together
have given the British people almost a surfeit
of so-called liberalism. The turn of the tide
promises to give toryism its opportunity. We
shall soon know whether tory courage and
ability are equal to the occasion.

~wh.t viii the Newspapers Do ."

This question is asked by q correspondent
In to-days HERALD, who processes to be 50

newspaper establishments of the city should
unite with their readers in the work of
charity, not only by words but by deeds"
The benefits rendered by the press in season
OF distress such as the present cannot be
measured by dollars and cents The news
papers direct public attention to the sufferings
OF the people, and are instrumental in organ
izing the work Of charity and making it eff
cient Without the aid of the newspapers the

unknown to majority of the people, and
the relief afforded would be so much the less
At the same time it is true, as our CORE
spondent suggests, that 'it is the duty of
every one not in want TO give out of his
abundance for feeding the poor" Recog-
nizing this duty, the attaches of the
several departments of the HERALD,
literary, clerical and mechanical, are pre-
pared to contribute one thousand dollars
toward the object of feeding the hungry I"
The amount will be paid toward any practical
method of carrying out the desired object. We
have no doubt that the employees in the other
city newspapers will gladly contribute to such
fund, and their united donations will be q
valuable addition to the more important ser
vices they all render in the cause of charity.
There are some twenty morning and evening
dailies published in this city, besides a large
number of Weeklies and if MI of thesa shouId
contribute according to their means q sum of
money could be raised which, distributed
under the auspices of committee that would
be satisfactory to all-such, for instance, as
the Executive Committee of the Associated
Press-could be made to relieve great amount
of that pressing and immediate distress which
we all so much deplore.

According to cable despatch of this morn
ing DR.. David Strauss, the well known COM
poser of the "Leben .Jesu," work which,
more than any other of its kind, has affected
the religious thought of the last half century,
is no more. After Baur he was the most
prominent teacher of the Tdbingen school. q
school which, under the guise and garb of re-
ligion, laboriously worked to sap the founda-
tons of the Christian faith. The Tibingen
school is now almost forgotten; but its fruits,
which are abundant, remain. Its influence
spread rapidly over Germany, and was eagerly
caught in England and the United States. A
serious revolution was threatened in the re-
ligious world Of all the books directly
emanating from the Thbingen school Strauss
''Life of Christ" was unquestionably the most
important and the most influential The
churches were indignant Replies to Strauss
taxed the ingenuity of college professors and
formed the themes of students essays.
Lives Of Christ in reply to the
great heresiarch were preached from every
pulpit and lectured from many platform.
Whatever his faults Strauss, more than any
man who has lived during the last half CEN
fury, has made the religious world debtor to
his memory To him we owe the incom-
parable work of Neander-a storehouse to
all future laborers in the same field. To the
same source, also, we are indebted for that
very fanciful 'Life of Christ by the French
Renan, for ''Ellicotts Historical Lectures on
the same subject, for Hanna's 'Life of
Christ, for ''Ecce Homo" for ''Ecce Deus"
and for innumerable other works, all of which
have had the effect of bringing out more dis
tnctly the divine and human elements in
the life and character of Him who called Him
self the Son of Man. Born in 1903, the great
German neologist lived to good old age
After the publication of Remains work he
altered and republished his ''Life of Christ"
but the new work was marked rather by con-
densation than by any change Of sentiment
Strauss is gone; but Christianity lives and is
stronger rather than weaker because of the
labors he devoted to accomplish its destruc-
ton.

the State law suppressing the trade the fact
that it pays tax to the general government

Praying In the Highways and By

If it be deemed possible and proper to

can be no good reason why the women of Ohio
should not make the attempt against more ac-
cessible places, and they are to be congratu-
lated if by so ready a method they succeed in
getting rid of great evil Propriety and the
notions of feminine delicacy are not to be

one Of those queer departures from the COM

they ultimately fail, but which if they succeed
take rank as the great moral frenzies that are
superior to the operations of human reason.

Mr. BOUTWELL, NATIONAL BANK RESTRAIN
ING BILL which was introduced in the Senate
yesterday and referred to the Finance Com
mittee, prohibits the national banks from
paying or receiving interest on deposits and
requires them to keep seventy-fve per cent of
their reserves at home. These are both good
provisions and would go far to prevent such
disasters as the country endured during the
late panic. The financial and industrial
distress at that time was greatly aggravated
through the banks grasping after deposits by
paying interest on them, by the country banks
loaning their deposits at higher rate of in
terest to the city banks and for Wall street
speculations and through transferring their
reserves in the same way and for q like pur-
pose. The consequence was that their re-
sources being away from home and not
realizable in the general scare, they could
neither meet demands upon them nor afford
relief to the business communities in their
several neighborhoods. This is one of the
best measures out of great number intro
duced this session of Congress, and ought to
be passed.

of the vasco da Cana, coming from Yokohama
to San Francisco in eighteen days and twenty
three hours. On the smooth Pacific, although
the passage may seem extraordinary, it de-
serves no special commentator, because q
swift steam service has never been encouraged
in those waters. We are of the opinion that
sixteen days could be made 'the quickest
time on record" The news brought to San
Francisco by the Vasco di Cana is of an i'm
portant character. Japan is undergoing a
revolution, and, happily for the United States,
our Minister is the only diplomatic represent
tative respected in the transition. That is to
say, Japanese civilizers aim at American civil

A Model American.

When men die there is, happily, among their
surviving friends a unanimity as to their
virtues and a spontaneous appreciation of
kindly and endearing qualities. James W.
Gerard has passed away. His was truly q
noble life-a model one. He made his own
fame as a scholar, as his ancestors had made
for him o downy social position and smooth
pathway to fortune. Beginning at the bar as
q modest advocate, he became one of the
brightest ornaments of his profession and
retired from active duty only when he consid-
cred that sef-denial was duty to others
although deprivation to himself. Citizens
of New York have been accustomed to welcome
his genial smile at all gatherings where any
great public aim could be subserved, and
thousands of the school children of the
city have regarded him as their
patron, indeed as the father of New
York's common schools. It can be said
of him that he was unselfish, devoid of any
ambitious self-glory, that he never accepted
Office as political recompense, and that in
all his relations in life he was that rare man
in our institutions-a true republican. The
tributes of respect to his memory, published
elsewhere, from the Bench and Bar, while
they are a poor compensation for his loss,
teach the lesson of recognition which useful
and an honorable life can command from q
community to whose interests it has been de-
voted.
