THE ENGLISH RADICALS.
Estimates OF Their Leaders by One Of
Themselves.

Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, July 24.-one OF the most distin.
guished radicals in the country, whose name I
am not permitted to mention, but which may
be guessed by its absence from the following
list and the tone OF his remarks. has furnished
me with an estimate of his party and the pres
ent situation. "The radicals" he said, are In
the main only radicals i'm name. Almost all Of
them want something. IL is not a place. They
have social aspirations, which lead them TO
roar like sucking doves. Cowen has facts,
Storey never speaks. Lawson generally
gravitatcs into alcohol whenever he speaks.
Burt and Broadhurst are ready TO vote
and nothing more. Give me twenty radicals In
the house of commons, and we would soon
change things. Chamberlain is, / think, q
strong radical, and made a mistake I'm goins
into whig cabinet. Dixie do not much trust,
but he would always follow where Chamberlain
leads. Probably the most sincerSradical In the
house Is Jesse Ceilings, but his speeches are
wearisome. Gladstone has done harm and he
has done good. He will sacrifice anything to
success. We have created a fetish, however,
and we must Use il, for We cannot break IL.
am convinced that you will never get an ac-
lively radical house until the cost OF election is
thrown upon the rates and the members are
paid. The present parliament is absolutely
dead. The sooner IL ceases To sit the better"
