Charles Bradlaugh the English radical, ar- raigns the Beaconsfield administration and the present parliament, in the following telling style:

We have never had in the whole history of our Parliamentary records so many falsehoods de- liberately stated by Ministers from their places in Parliament as have been stated during the last three years by the present Ministry. If anybody thinks 1 am too hard let him chal- lenge me after sit down, and will name lie after lie uttered by men like Lord Beaconsfeld and Lord Salisbury, and make good every word that comes from my mouth.
