James returned for Bury, Lancashire,
was the Attorney General Of the last
Gladstone administration, and is next
In line of promotion for the lord-chan-
cellorship. His immediate subordinate,
the ex-Solicitor-General, Sir Farrar
herschell, has been defeated, but will
doubtless try to get in again for some
other place, and il Mr.. Gladstone re-
turns to power will have vacancy
made for him. Some idea for the COM
petition for seats by barristers eligible
for these prizes may be gathered from
the fact that twenty-five Liberal Queens
Counsel sought election, and nineteen
Conservatives. IL is evident the stock
of lords chancellor will not give out
just at present. Sir r. z. Webster,
the present Attorney-General, also re-
turns to the House.
The United States is represented on
the British side by Ashmead Bartlett,
NJ. p, for Eccleshall Mr.. Burdett-
Coutts discriminatory, his brother, who
changed his name on marrying the
Baroness Burdett-Coutts; Mr.. +. A.
Claiming, granddaughter Of Rev. W.
f. Channing--all native Americans.
Then j. ii. Puleston (Devonport) is
more at homo in Philadelphia and
New York than in England, aud
is an American in ideas if not in
fact. Lady Randolph Churchill, though
! neither a candidate nor a member, is by
all rules Of fairness entitled to rank as
member. Perhaps she is in fact, if
not in name.
Then the Irish members, it will b.
admitted, represent big constituency
in the United States more directly than
many members represent those whose
ballots enabled them to write VI. P.
after their names.
Literature and science are ably rep
resented. Sir John Lubbock, Sir Lyon
Playfair, Professor Stuart, Justin Nc
Carthy and his son Justin H., Arthur
Arnold, Professor Bryce, John Morley,
Beresford-IIope, G. o. Trevelyan, W.
II. Gladstone, and many others Of not
less note. The newspapers in Parlia-
ment are many. John Walters OF
the London Times did not run Pass
more Edwards and Peter McLiver,
both newspaper proprietors, have
been defeated. The London Illus
tyated Neics, the Telegraph, Stand
ard, and Echo, are represented; the
Newcastle Chronicle, Glasgow Mail,
Hull Morning. Neps, Plymouth Morn
ing News, and the Central NeWs, will
be there; so will Young Ireland, the
Nation. Freeman's Journal, Liverpool
Post, Truth while Of journalists of
these and other sheets the number is
still larger.
The Quakers will be represented, as
in former Parliaments, by Edwin Fry,
Of Bristol, 4. +. Pease, Of York, and
one might include W. T.. Forster as Of
Quaker family, and wonder at the fit
ness of the titles, Friend " and
" Buckshot."
4 TULI-BLOODED HINDOO
sought to represent India through a
London constituency. He was very
emphatic in his commentator Of the
Liberal Government in India and of
Lord Ripon, the late VicerOy. The
pleading Hindoo, the Liberal Govern
ment, and the excellent Marquis Of
Ripon, as a combination. did not work
by nearly 400 minority.
Socialism failed utterly of recOgni-
ton. The saying that mnorlties are
always the loudest mouthed y was well
illustrated in the experiences of the
three Socialistic candidates, who polled
twenty to thirty votes each in constita-
encieS where their opponents of eithe
faith numbered half as many thou
sands.
Radicalism, while not so we'll repre-
scented as was hoped, has received az
cessions Of considerable weight, ana
has also lost some notable eXpOnents,
while great many who had not been
in previous parliaments were defeated
in their candidature. Bradlaugh and
LabOuchere are returned from NORTH
ampton, as before; Joseph COwen
comes back from Newcastle; John
Morley, Chamberlain, and Jesse Col
lings return to the House, but Sir Will
fred Lawson, the jolly Cumberland
Baronet. who was the head Of his own
little permissiye-bill " local option
temperance party has gone down in the
tide. William Saunders, the head of
the Central News Agency, and the
founder Of the Eastern Morning Neus,
Of Hull, comes from that place in the
Radical interest. He used to be a
prominent advocate Of Sir Wilired
Lawson's bill. 1t may be he will lead
the desolate little party in Parliament

ALI SHADES OF POLITICAL FAITH.
Labor is well represented. Burt,
the miner, returns unOpposed from
Morpeth Broadhurst, the stonemason,
led the polls in the Bordesley district
Of birmingham Cremer, the cabinet
maker. from Haggerstone tLondon);
George Howell, the bricklayer, who
hasn't laid a brick for twenty years,
from Bethnal Green; and Abraham,
from the Rhondda- Valley welsh
miners. Joseph Arch, the origina-
tor of the agricultural laborers' move
ment was a candidate in Norfolk.
No return has yet reached here
of his election. lie was opposed by
Lord Bentinck, and it was said that the
Prince of Wales refused TO use his in
fluence for the latter. 1t was unneces-
sary to mention this refusal if the story
is true, which it probably is not. Few
