interesting to watch the fight and note
the outcome. The users of the telephone
demanded that the Legislature step in
between them and the extortion that
was being practiced by the monopoly
and the lawmakers having done their

There is no fear that the telephones will
be removed, the threat to take them
out being only little bluff. Mean and

foolish enough to bite off its nose for
the sake of spiting its face. If it cannot

ABOUT GENERAL GORDON.

The story told in our cablegrams this
morning by the Coptic merchant from
Khartoum, is one CT those tales that a
person wants to believe, but cannot
make himself think are true. The mer-
chant says that when the Europeans in
Khartoum were massacred, General
Gordon could not be found, and the
hope is expressed that the hero of SO
many battles succeeded in finding a
hiding place, from which he will emerge
when an opportunity is presented.
There is an air of probability about the
story. Gordon was .worshiped almost
as a god by many of the Soudanese, and
the merchants and traders OF Khartoum
entertained for him the greatest res
pect. 1t was possible for them 10 hide
him beyond the power of discovery by
the Mahdi's butchers, if they had the
courage to do so. But opposed to this
theory is Gordon himself, with his pecu-
liar nature which knew not the meaning
VI OAO WIN AOdl dAO Ills lhtdllSC IQ6dS
which would cause him to seek death
rather than avoid it by hiding from his
enemies. If what has been written
about Gordon is true, he never cared to
live; had it not been for the sin Of
suicide he would have taken his own
life many years ago; he courted death
as well as man could do
without directly conniying at his own
taking off; his whole life was that of a
nah who would gladly exchange the
certain annoyances, miseries, suffer
ings and discontents of an earthly exist
ance for the chance Of the uncertain con-
tentment of the hereafter; he believed
that he would not die until his time
came, " and the coming of that time was
contemplated with Joy, rather than
grievious apprehensions. If he knew
that death would come quickest by fac
ing the Mahdi's mob, he probably met
his murderers laughingly.
The Coptic's story Will give a ray of
hope, which viii not be dispelled until
the facts are known, but the ray will be
dim to thosewho best knew Gordon.

Great Britain, and almost made war
on her, before Gladstone's courage
could be wrought up to the point of
Directing to the Cars Entertainments;
when his courage did come, and he
spoke and acted like a true Briton. how
grandly he shone forth, the idol OF
the people and the admiration
of the world! 1t was not
Gladstone, however. and he soon re-
lapsed unto himself, and by his retrac-
tons and weakenings fairly disguised
his countrymen, while intelligent men
generally wondered if Gladstone had
lost his head. When it came to paying
for all the expensive blunders, it was
but natural that their author should be
repudiated and rejected. When one
looks back over the last premiership OF
Gladstone, and remembers that it sue
ceeded the long and brilliant admins
ration of Disraeli. he cannot fail to
wonder that the former has held on so
well. The explanation is found in the
fact that Gladstone's personal hold on
the affections of the English people is
firm indeed.

The retirement of the Gladstone
government may mean much OIL
! little, not to Great Britain alone, but
to Europe and Asia. a cabiegram
says the Conservatives are not disposed
to accept the government, their objec-
tons doubtless being based on the pre-
SUMPTION that the Radical majority in
the House of Commons would tie the
hands of an opposing administration
1t would also be accepting risk that
wise politicians do not care to take on
the eve of parliamentary election that
is liable to defeat them before they are
comfortably installed. 1t would seem,
however, that the Queen must call the
opposition to Gladstone to her aid, and
it is not clear how the Conservatives can
with credit refuse to accept the res
possibility which they have invited
by compelling Gladstone 10 release
lease it. Unfortunately for the
Tories there is no Beaconsfield
among them, or they would have no oc-
casion to hesitate about accepting the
government. An occasion of this kind
would be enough to make a Disraeli
great for all time, for be would carry
the people with him in their present
temper, and bury out of sight the op-
position that has had the numbers, but
has been so weak and vacillating. But
whoever goes in must undo much of the
work that Gladstone has done; he must
produce something to show for the vast
sums that have been and are being ex-
pended abroad, and that something
must be more than lost prestige
in Egypt. and the surrender. of terri
tory and authority OH the western
border of India. The re-opening of the
Russo-Afghan dispute may be expected.
and new adjustment brought about,
either by force or diplomacy-a settle
ment in which the English will not be
the humble, yielding party. For the
next four weeks Great Britain will
necessarily be the interesting nation for
the worlds politicians.

The fall of the Gladstone government
IS just what statesmen and observers
everywhere have foreseen these many
months. Seemingly the Premier has
worked directly towards his defeat; if he
had desired his overthrow he could not
well have managed affairs better. Eng
land has been strongest, greatest and
most prosperous at home when her for
eign policy was most aggressive; when
she was threatening war or engaged in
war abroad her people we're happiest
and the nation preHdest. Gladstone
went into Office when England was
great and grand the world over; in
stead OF continuing it in the line of
greatness in things that made it great,
or in which the people thought the ma
ton was great, the grand old man" re-
yersed the policy and tried to keep his
country grand and majestic by keeping
Great Britain at home, as if such a
thing were possible after the inspiration
and training the English had received
under the leadership of one Of the most
magnificent statesmen the world has
produced. At times Gladstone has
been compelled to act against his own
policy in order TO pacify the people,
as in bombarding Alexandria, and
sending an army to the Soudan; but
whenever be has been truly British in
the Beaconfeld sense of the term, he has
followed it by reputation and sur
render that were humiiiating and could
not prove otherwise than disastrous to
the man and his administration. The
delay in sending troops to relieve
General Gordon would have crushed
Premier who had less firm hold on
the affections of the people, and the
recall of the. soldiers without punish
ing the Mahdi for the ASSASSINATION of
Gordon, was enough to sicken all
patriotic Englishmen. Russia defied
