An English Liberal on Sentimental
Politics.

There Is something astounding in the tone
OF superior wisdom and morality assumed
by certain of the English Liberals. They I'M
dertake 10 instruct the judgment and point
the sympathics Of their cOuntrymen with
the pcromptory air Of men endowed with
the gift Of prophecy aud consciously anoint-
cd with the holy oil Of priesthood. With an
edityUR plctcnce Of candur and truth-scek-
ing, their faVoritc argument turns out to be
All cpithct, and while they taunt their OPP
poncnts with trucking to the passions Of
tho mob, the staple of their own eXhOrtings
is an appeal to the least worthy prciudices
OF race or creed. Among tho conductors Of
MI GLADSTONE who cannot discuss any
phase Of the policy Of the present Prime
Minister without reminding us Of the lat
ter's Jc wish lineage, Prof. +. A. FREEMAN is
conspicuous, and he has specially distin-
guished himself in this direction by an ar
ticlc on sentiment in politics in the current
number Of the Princeton Rerinc.
Prof. FREEMAN adroltly bcgs tho question
by his preliminary definition OF the sentl-
mcntalist as opposed to the practical man in
politics. Tho one differs from the other, he
tells is, only by his greater breadth OF view
and moro uncrring insight, so that what is
termed dro1m to-day must, in the natural
progress Of enlightenment, become an axiom
Oh practical craftsmanship tomorrow. lie

and considering tho hard times and scarcity
of provisions tho Poor House expenses are
likely to be heavier, with probability of
of heavier bridge expenses. We can hardly
expect that tax Of three milo will fall less
