Statesmen usually affect to ,lrspsc
social reforms Being for the most part
outside the realm of Legislation, they think
the discussion Of them is beneath he dr-
nifty of great men. But the statesmen OF
England are beginning 20 realize that
whatever concerns the prosperity and hap
piness of the people, is worthy the thought
and influence Of the peoples political lead
ers. Thus Mr.. Bright agii,;ed the s,biect
of funeral reform, custom having grown
so that the burial Of friends and the wear
ing of mourning had been undulv expen-
sivc and perfectly absurd. He went 50
far rs to favor Il total abandonment Of tie
custom. And now Mr.. Gladstone writes
a letter upon the subject IL SAYS
"ThDugh " unable to concur il tho opinion
that the wearing of monrn;n. ought to be
abandoned, l concur in much that YOU
have said, and think the whole subject re-
quires to be gravely considered hv this
country."-S. A!Jans Messenger.
