Aged, bur not OutIawed on Ac-
count of Age.

Mr.. Gladstone is in the seventy sixth
year Of his age. He entered the House
Of Commons in 1882, and has sat IN every
session for titty-three years. He has
been a Parliamentary leader for halt a
century, standing III the front rank since
1913, When he was Colonial Secretary IN
the Ministry Of Sir Robert Peel. He be-
came Premier IN 1868, was subsequently
overthrow by Disraell, and again rose
to the first place on the retirement OF his
great rival.
British Prime Ministers are often tough
old fellows. The present generation has
seen halt a dozen such besides Gladstone.
There was DIsraell, whom prosperity Will
recognize by that name long after his
title mas been forgotten. lie was elected
to the Commons IN 1887, and became
First Lord of the Treasury In 1868. lie
finally retired from office IN his seventy
fifth year. Perhaps the most extraordl-
nary specimen OF tenaclty OF office and
t~enacity Of life was Lord Russell. lie
entered Parliament III 1913, when he was
- years old, and he afterwards led III the
House Of Commons when Protestant dis
senters were relieved by the repeal OF the
Test act, and when the Catholics were
e~manclpated. He also carried throug b
the Reform bill. He was Premier in 1916
and again IN lS65-6, when he threw up
the seals in his seventy filth year, though
he was al active member OF the House
OF Lords till he was nearly 80.
Lord Palmerston entered the Commons
through a rotten borough in 1906. lie
was First Lord OF the Treasury FROM 1873
to 1863, excepting a few weeks, and died
full Of fight at the head of the Ministry
Just as he reached his eighty first year.
Earl l'erby, who carried through negro
emancipation was Premier, III 1852, and
again IN 1888, and again from 1865 to
1868. In middle life he changed from a
Wing to a Tory, and went out Of office
when on the verge of threescore aud ten.
Lord Aberdeen, a willy, gnarly Scotchman
OF the Gordon family, became the head
of a coalition Cabinet IN 1853, but resign
ed in 1885, at the age OF IL, because OF
the clamor against his administration
growing out of the Crimean war.
Thus we see that from Lord Russell 5
time ia 1916 down to Mr.. Gladstone :,
covering a period of thnty-ninc years,
old men have generally been at the head
of the English Ministry. We might 20
further bsck and find il much the same.
Lord Melbourne liked TO be regarded as a
sDrt of father to Queen Victoria when he
was Prime Minister; and Earl Grey was
Il when he left office, aud he survived
till he was 81. Blougham, his restless
and versatile Lord Chancellor, was wont
to stir up the drowsy Peers till he was
nearly 90 The Iron Duke, too, had a
seat in the Cabinet after he was an octo-
genarian; nd though the hero of a hum
/ dred hairless he died uuiptiv IN his bed
in his eighty-fourth year, holding the
semi civil, semi~military office of Lord
Warden of the Cirque Ports.
