Court was adjourned sine die last
Thursday, having been cnlivened at the
last by the hearing on Mrs Mead's petit
ton for free access to her children.
Captain Mead, in his answer, admitted
that he had violated the order of the court
and had denied her the privilege of visit
ing or corresponding with them, but he
claimed that this disobedience had been
made necessary because Mrs. Mead had
stolen one of the children and it was not
safe to let her see them. The court refused

A Political Revolution.

Disraeli. the brilliant and audacious
conservative" has to yield to Gladstone
the sober.sided and cautious " liberal. "
In 1874 Gladstone went out of office by
complete overthrow at the polls to be sue
ceeded bv Disraeli who now in his turn
retires, terribly defeated in the election.
1t is not known to be sure that Mr.. Glad
stone will resume the reins of government
by becoming one of the new ministers.
but. in Office or out, he is the real leader
of the liberals.
Returns have thus far been received
from constituencies electing about two
thirds of the house of commons and the
liberals have gained 80 seats, enough to
rive them the lead of the conservative,
without counting the home-rulers.
The house which was elected in March
1874, and which was dissolved last month
had S45 conservatives, 245 liberals and Il
home rulers. An estimate of the hOusc
for which elections will be completed thi'
week gives its probable composition a'
3l7 liberals, 27l conservatives and g.
home-rulers.
This result surprises everybody. Bea
consfeld hoped TO keep u majority owe
both the opposing parties and in fact couI'
carry on his plans successfully only b.
having bis supporters in such majority
that they could outnumber the liberals an,
home-rulers combined. The most san
guine of Mr.. Gadstone's friends do no
seem to have dreamed of having NOR
.au about an even thing with the conser
vatives not taking the third party int
account.
In tact there was considerable uneasi
ness in business circles in England whel
the first returns began to come in for fea
that the liberals would be outnumbere,
by the conservatives but that the latte
would be in minority AS against tn
other two parties. In that case tor,
ministry would have been ut sea becaus
it would be Outvoted on any importan
issue, and liberal ministry in order t.
curry measure would have been oblige,
to cater continually to the prejudices 0
the unruly party.
The result that is now fOreshadowed i
not the best indeed that could have beel
obtained for should the home rulers vot
with the tories, rs things look now, the
could put liberal measure in minority
But it is possible that further gains vii
give the liberals bare majority over boil
the other parties so that they will not nee,
any of the home rule vote; and ever
should they have no more strength thar
now appears secure for them they will
have 46 more members than the torie:
and eases are hardly conceivable in which
the home rulers would unite with theil
inveterate enemies, the supporters of Dis
raeli.
Mr.. Gladstone himself was successful
in his contest in Midlothian-the Edin-
burgh constituency-defeating the Earl of
Dalkeith, the present member. 1t is not
vet settled whether Beaconsfeld and the
other ministers will wait the meeting of
the new parliament in May Or stand not
upon their going but 90 at once. From
this time on they lag superfaous.

Charles Bradlaugh, the English atheist
an eloquent orator, who has long aspired

The piane-makers' strike at New Yorl
cost the workmen $50. 900, and the EN-
