An E.timnte of John Hright.

He is not known and he never viii be
known as great administrator, rs a
great legislator, or as great master of
parliamentary detail. He cannot even
he considered debater of the first or
der. lie is man, however, Just as in
to the legislation which has
been accomplished during his career as
Minister who conducts Il bill through
Parliament. As an orator he has ac-
quired an equal renown in the House OF
Commons and on popular platforms.
such as the power and favor of his elo-
quence that ii has always constituted
with which responsible statesmen have
been compelled to reckon. Disraei
once said of Golden that che was
the greatest politician that the
upper middle class of England had
produced, and that he was not only an
ornament to the House of Commons, but
an honor to the country 1t may be as
,erted Of Mr.. Bright that he has sur
passed all his contemporaries i'm the art
of giving simple and weghty express
ions to the views and aspirations of the
English multitude. He has been called
a demagogue. As a matter of fact, no
man was ever less of a demagogue. Had
ne been capable of pandering to the pop
ular sentiment of the hour, he would
not have resisted the ten-hour bill. nor
would he have lost his seat for Manches-
Ter twenty-seven years ago nv
denouncing the foreign policy of Lord
PalmCrston in China and Russia. 1t
would be unjust TO say of him that he
was ever the mouthpiece Of public feel
ing. He has acted as the champion of
the popular cause Just so far as he could
identify that cause with and vindicate il
by reference to, what have seemed to
HIM to he the eternal laws of justice and
right. There were Radicals before MIR.
John Bright. There are and will con-
tinue to be Radicals after him. But as
he had little in common with many of
these who were spoken OF as his allies
ut the beginning of his public life, SO he
has slight sympathy with the most pow
'rlul and representative Radicals Mhom
he sees round him as the ShadowSOf his
life begin TO fade July Century.
