Spectator Dec. 10Th.

The Pail Nall Gazette has intro
duced a new horror into public life.
1t has addressed a circular to all
Liberal unofficial Members, asking
whether they are in favour of max
ing the Franchise Bill the first item
in the programme of next Ses-
sion, and whether they would extend
the Bill to Ireland, with some other
matters. A return of the answers
is to be published when they are
complete, but the editor already
reports an approach to unanimity.
Only ten per cent, of the Members
as yet heard from object to put
Franchise First, and only one Mem
Der objects to include Ireland in the
scheme. The facts are Interesting,
but u contemporary should reflect
on the reply received by a Boston
editor to a circular asking all mem
bers of the State Legislature TO state
their religious faith. One senator
told him that he believed in a God,
and humbly hoped there was a hea-
ven, ga place where there is less
friction than in this world and no

native,-the appointment of an able
Regent during his sons minority. 1t
is a bad one, but it is there.

Mr.. Cowen made a very eloquent
and elaborate speech to his Newcas-
tie constituents this day week. He
declared that we ought never to have
gone to Egypt, but that having gone
we could never retire, whether it
were a false prophet, or any other
cause which constituted the excuse
for our remaining, Mr.. Goblet once
offered to be roasted on a gridiron, if
Mr.. Spring Rice's financial predictions
should be fulfilled. Had he been
alive now, he might with still greater
safety have offered to be roasted on a
gridiron, if our dominant influence
were ever withdrawn from Egypt.
Mr.. Cowen predicted a collision be-
tween Austria (backed by Germany
and Russia in the Balkan peninsula,
and appeared to think it not far off.
As regards South Africa, he tainted
the Government with falling between
two stools by Facilitating between
giving up the Transyaal and not CIV
ing it up, and declared that we must
at least protect u native allies. and
prevent them from being "robbed
and ruined by pious, slaye-driying
Beers"
, 1884-01-19

Note, as a remarkable indication of
the swing in opinion about Egypt,
that the Pail Mall Gazette, which las
been consistently forward in urging
evacuation, now admits that it may
be indispensable for the British Gov
eminent to govern Egypt Proper di-
rectIy for a time. The Egyptian
Government is paralysed, our con
temporary says, by fear Of the Mahdi,
and will either expend its whole re-
sources in an effort to reconquer the
Soudan, or, if we forbid that course,
will strike, and leave us to govern
Egypt as we may, That is very pro-
bable, and we shall be fortunate if we
escape a rising MS an accompaniment
of the strike, but we are a little sur
prised to see that the Pail Mall regards
the contingency without alarm. Does
it really imagine that if we take the
control, and give Egypt sound finance,
civil order, and a new tenure-the
very first things we must dove
shall throw all INTO disorder again by
r~etiring9 The Pail Mall is as likely
to make ''pie" of its columns after
they have been set up, and before
printing them. We have, however,

On Saturday last, a deputatiou
from the Liberal working men of
Derby waited on Mr.. Gladstone at
Hawarden Castle to present him a
dessert service of Derby china, spe-
cially designed for him, as a COM.
memoration Of the fttieth anniversary
of his first election 10 Parliament, and
as a recognition of his long ard ar
duous career of public work. The
deputation, consisting of twenty work.
ing men, was introduced to the Prime
Minister by Sir William Harcourt,
Mp. for Derby, who was staying at
the Castle, and they then presented
the beautiful dessert service, each dish
and plate being adorned with some
landscape fromth scenery ofthe Peak,
II m of the famous old ca stles, Of
exquisite workmanship. Mr.. Glad
stone, in thanking the deputation for
the gift, remarked that Derby and
Worcester had been the first English
towns to put the manufacture of fine

afterwards fulfilled, or Authorizations
suggesting the presence of distant PEG
pie when they do occur, may properly
be explained as coincidence, or not,
If they can be explained as coinci-
dence, there ought to be a vast num-
Der of such impressive dreams and
startling Authorizations occurring in
common life, as Coleridge used to say
that he could assert to have occurred
in his life, but without further signif-
canoe and without deserving to be
specially noted. The present writer
could answe both question in the ne
gative, even without the qualification

We canno conceive why so much
fun is poked at the Society for Psy-
chical Research "a Deans Yard, =.
w., for asking these very business
like questions on the subject of hallu-
cinations and dreams -. Hallu-
cinations.-Have you ever, when in
good health and completely awake,
had a vivid impression of seeing, or
being touched by, a human being, or
of hearing a voice or sound which
suggested a human presence, when no
one was there 2. Dreams.-Can you
recall that you have ever, in the course
of the last ten years, had a dream OF
some person known to you (about
whom you were not anxious at the
tine), which dream you marked as an
exceptionally vivid one, and OF which
the distressing impression lasted for as
long as an hour after you rose in the
morningp The object is, of course,
to get some light on the question whe-
Their or not prophetic dreams of more
than usual impressiveness which are

Rumours have been in circulation
all the week that the Mahdi is advanc-
ing on Khartoum, but they are wholly
unveri6ed. The only European cor
respondent there, however, the one
who telegraphs to the Times, reports
that steamers close to the town have
been fired at, and it is probable that
the d~isaffected friends of the Mahdi
are closing on the city. The garri-
son has been reinforced by 1890
Egyptian soldiers from Fa,hoda; but
there is no evidence that they VIII
fight, and the outlook is yery gloomy.
If Khartoum falls, the agitation in
Egypt will increase, and it is already
great enough to paralvse the Egyp-
tan Government, which declares that
without foreign assistance it cannot
cope with the Mahdi. The rumours
Of the khtdive's intention to abdicate
increase in frequency, and the Euro
pean officials complain that they can
get nothing done. The truth seems
to be that the Pashas, TeWfk inc'ud-
ed, want to ~reconquer the ~oudan,
and are sulky because they see no
way to do it. If left alone, they
would suspend dividends, and use
the money to buy the Arab chiefs
and this being forbidden, they are
powerless. They have, according to

The Black Flags, having been de-
feated in the stockaded villages round
Sontay, evacuated the citadel ON the
10th, and on the 18th Admiral Cour-
bet TOOK possession Of the fortress.
No further progress is reported, nor
is it known whether he will next at
tack Hong Hoa, as is most probable,
or will proceed at once against Bac-
mini. Ii is reported hat he lost 1000
men in the original assault, but that
the numbers originally given were
those Of Frenchmen, the Admiral
either caring nothing for his native
allies, or, as is more probable, regard
ing them as soldiers of Anam, for
whom he was not responsible. The
Marquis Tseng has not demanded his
passports, but is awaiting in England
instructions from Pekin, where a sum
mons has been issued to the Grand
Council, consisting of the Imperial
Princes and other uotables. They
may advocate war, but it is more pro-
bable that they will advise a deter
mined resistance, without any formal
declaration of hoStilities. In that
event, the French Government will
endeavour, through the Fleet, to seize
some "material guarantee, possibly
Canton, but possibly also the island
of Hainan, without which their con-
troll of the Tonquin river system must
be incomplete. Hainan, which is as
large as Wales, and healthy, would
then be their great maritime station.
This is the probable origin Of the pre-
pOsterous reports that Hainan is to be
ceded to the English.

Passing to home policy, Mr.. Cow
Ell dilated on the miserable failure in
Ireland, and declared that nothing
but lIome-rule would mend the mis-
chief there. He asserted that the
English people were, as Goethe called
them, ''practical, but pedantic lie,
that they understood money matters,
but were otherwise governed by
"phrascs", and that one of the phrases
which had excited their terror was
"Home-ruIe." Nevertheless, the Isle
of Man and the Channel Islands and
almost all our Colonies had Home
rule, and were all the more loyal for
it. Ireland, too, would be all the
more loyal for it. And so, we sup
pose, would be Wales and Cornwall.
on the subject of Reform, Mr.. Cowen
spoke very sensibly. He did not like
the working of the present minority
principle, but he thought some care
should be taken to secure the proper
tional representation in the House of
different sections of opinion; and he
suggested the division OF the counties
into many more divisions with one
Member each, and the division of the
great ~boroughs into sections, such as
those of London, as a step in the right
direction. In a very eloquent perora-
ton, he called on the working class
to show a life and political conviction
Of its own, and not to follow slavishly
il the steps Of the richer classes.
