A
a. called here by-electon occurred yesterday at
salisbury. Mr.. Grenfel the sitting member had
.ecepted the office of eroom-in-waiting TO Her
Noiestv. So Jealous is the British Constitution OF
,oval influence upon legislators that Mr.. Grenieil
xas Obliged TO submit himself afresh to hls con-
ailments in his new character of officer OF the loyal
household. 1t was once supposed to be custom
that a member IN these circumstances should not
he offered But in these innovatlng days no custom
holds good. Mr.. Grenfells seat was challenged Oy
Mr. Coleridge Kennard, whom, at the general elec-
ton Mr. GTeufell had beaten by 100 votes MT
Coleridge Kennard now III his turn defeats NY
Grenfell by 1913 votes and the British Constitution
Il 70 that extent preserved and vindlcatcdN
This result. SAYS true-blue Tory organ, Is con-
elusive proof that the country has resolved to turn
ont the Gladstone government. Another Tory organ
equally true and for the most part equally blue de-
clares that closure was the question on which the
election mainly turned. Greater nonsense was
never talked. Salisbury Is a corrupt little borough
with something less than 1000 electors. The coun-
Try does not commit its conscience to these -'oOO
gentlemen or TO the five per cent Of those who' Oh
this OCCASION have changed sides. And the closure
had about as much 70 do with the election rs .Lo
comet had The truth is known to everybody MI

sedulously and successfully employed.
Two things follow upon the de1th of the Earl OF
Uarrowby. His son. Lord Sandon, now NJ T. for
Tiverpool goes to the Upper House, and Mr.. Glad
stone has another Garter to dispose of. Lord san
don j.. il, some sense, loss to his party IN the
Uonse of Commons where the Conservatives are
weak IN debating power. 1t can hardly be said that
Lord SanGon Is a dehaer bat he could make that
sort of thin. plausible, commonplace speech when
delights e 1od many Tories. The Liberals, l am
afraid. used TO laugh at him. They laughed at bis
rroposals for regenerating Armenia by perDet-
mating the rule of the Turk and introducing the
steam plough. They laughed less when, as vice.

House a set Of amendments to the EIutation act

II WAS if rightly remember, on the Irish Church
ouestlon that Lord SaudOn's conscience compelled
him TO pass over INTO he Conserya I'VE camp.
The giving away of Lord Harrowbys Garter Is
one of those things in which the late Lord Beacons-
field would have taken keen dchEnt Nh Glad
stone cares less for the making of mere dlgnitanes
than h predecessor. Lord Beaconsteld died year
ago last Aprll but Garter Is stall waiting IoT
wearer Nor Is the giving Of it quite absolutely
within the discretion OF the Prime Minister Inc
Queen has 70 be consulted. The more correct
phrase Is that the Queens pleasure has be taken.

Lord Derby to sit in tn stall Of 81, Georges Chapel
which her beloved Beaconsdeld once occupied But
now hat Lord HarTOwby's stall IS vacant Il may
be possible to give that to Lord Derby, and confer
the late Prime Minister'S on somebody less dislked
by Her Majesty. / have heard the Earl of SETON
mentioned but he and Lord Derby are both Lam
.ashlrc mobiles; if that be an objection.
There has always been a Ques ion how Mr.. Philip

for Honest Phil" They are simple folk in Louth
ana took Mr.. Callan at his own valuation. Hon
est Phir proved a catchum. And even IN sceptical
London Mr. Callan's colleagues, il INTERCEPTED, may
be heard 20 respond, Honest! yes, honest any
man living, that is no honcster than he Bat Mr..
Calan ha, not always been wiling to take 80 char

Charles Russell. and that Nh Charles Russell toob
the still more singular liberty of knocking Mr.. Cal

Sir Farrar H-rschel becomes Attorney General.
