GladStOne's Manifesto.

Mr.. GladstOne's address to his con =
stituents in Midlothian is received by
the English people very much as "A
presidents message is received in this
country. The liberals pronounce it an
extremely sagaciOus and statesmanlike
discussion of the questions of the day,
while the tories say it is at once weak ,
tlabby, pretentiOus and misleading.
Equally at variance are the impressions
which the address makes concerning
Mr.. Gladstone's probable future course.
Some think that the ex-premier will
retire from politics after the election,
whether he succeeds or fails; others
are equally positive that it is his in
tentiOn, if successful, to continue in
politics and at the head of the liberal
party.
The address is an able document and
gives evidence that the greatest living
Englishman is by no means losing his
power. 1t begins with a request for
the renewal of his constituents person
al trust in him. He speaks cheerfully
of the future. He claims credit for the
Afghan settlement, and says he found
Afghanistan broken to pieces, and left
it friendly. He traces all the Egyp-
tian troubles to foreign intervention,
which he always opposed, and advO-
Gates a withdrawal from Egypt at the
earliest moment that honor permits.
Very significant is the admission he
makes that the current is slowly set
ting in the direction of disestablish-
ment of the church of England but he
believes "the vitality of the church
On the Irish question he says: 81
cannot believe the political genius of
this nations Industrious history will
prove inadequate to the solution of the
problem or permit embittered civil
strife" Parnell receives attention in
the following sentence 81 believe his
tory and pOsterity will cOnsign to dis
grace the name and memory of every
man on whichever side of the channel
he dwells, who, having power to pro-
mote peace and friendship, uses it for
strife and enmity." Referring to the
question of the House of Lords he add
mits that there is u case sufficient to
Justify an important change in it's char
acter but trusts "a reasonable share of
power may be allowed under wise con
ditiOns to the principle of birth" 1t
is evidently not Mr.. Gladstone's inten-
ton to stir up strife but to so speak
and act as to secure an endorsement
for himself and his party. Indeed, this
is so apparent in the manifesto that
his opponents charge him with "trim-
ming"
Mr.. Gladstone carries his 76 years
with remarkable vigOr. He has been
very cordially received in Norway
where he went hoping to get relief
from his hOarseness. "SeldOm, if ever"
says one who met him there for the
first time, ''has it been our good for
tune to behold such a noble and ener-
getic cOuntenance." 1t is said with all
the rest that he is finding time to learn
the Norwegian language. A man who
has fought his way through as event
full life as his, sitting down at 76 to
learn new tongue, is indeed novel
spectacle, and should inspire enthusi
asm in some who at little more than
half his age sit down discouraged as
though there was nothing more for
them to do.

HONEST CRITICISM DEFENDED.
A considerable degree of indepen-
dence has been a feature of n great
many republican journals in the past,
and has proved great safe guard to
the party. Such advice is known to
be disinterested, and public men have
often profited by it. The policy of
any party is proper subject of criti-
cism by those within it Worcester

NOT A CALAMITY.
The reason alleged for the with
drawal of horses entered for the races
at Beacon Park, and the consequent
pOstpOnement of the events as adver-
tised, is not such as to cause the Incl
dent to be considered a public calami-
ty. If pool selling is an essential ac
compartment of horse racing, as at
present conducted, no great detriment
can be conceived possible if races were
to be altogether postponed until such

ATTACKED BY A HOG.

ATTACKED BY HOG.
Carl, the three year-old son of A. d.
Smith, fell through a trap-dOOr into
the pigpen, on Monday, breaking his
arm, and he was badly bitten by the
hogs. 1t is uncertain if he will live
Since the above was in type we have
received additional particulars. Carl
and his older brother had gone out to
see the young pigs. The brother open
ed the trap door in the floor when Carl
fell through down among the pigs and
their mother. The old hog was vicious
and at once attacked the little fellow.
Nathan Badger happened to be driving
by and hearing the cutlery ran into the
barn. He could not get through the
scuttle it was so small, but running
outside broke in window and rescued
the little fellow. When Badger got
into the pen the SOW was directly over
the boy biting him savagely. Had
Badger not been at hand the boy would
have been speedily killed. 1t now
looks as though the little fellow would
recover. The mother of the boy had a
baby only two days old and the father
was away from home, so the little boys
were shifting for themselves.

races were witnessed by small crowd.
Before noon, however, the sun came
out bright and warm and the rest of
the day was all that could be desired.

each lost 25-lb. pail Of sugar which
they had on exhibition. 1t is supposed
they were stOlen.-An interesting event
one day of the fair was the frantic eff
forts of parents to find their four-year-
cid boy. The mother supposed the fla
ther had him in charge and the father
thought it the mothers duty to watch
the children so between them the boy
was lost in the crowd. When found
the fact was announced from the
judges stand and the joy of the moth
er and child when they got together
was an interesting sight to the specta
tors.
A CLOSING WORD.
After having devoted so much space
to the fair and called attention to SO
many of its excellent features it would
be unjust to pass by the management
that made it all possible. Judge Parks,
President Livingston and the various
officers and committees who worked
under them deserve great credit for the
manner in which the affair was con-
Quoted. 81 have been in many crowds,
said a stranger on the grounds, ''but
never before saw so many gathered to-
gether in such quiet and orderly
manner" Ne jim crack "attractiOns"
were introduced to draw the crowd.
The fair was run on it's merits and
they were sufficient to make it the
most successful ever held in this part
of the state. The receipts were over
$500 and it is believed they are suf-
ficient to pay the very liberal premi-
ums and all the expenses of the fair
which, by the way, are no small mat
ter.
