 LONDON, Sept. 12. To the Editor of tue JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Nothing succeeds like novelty, in politics especially Lord Randolph Churchill in vented the Fourth party, and the four mem bers of it are now in office; one is Secretary of State for India and another holds the High Chancellorship of Ireland, one of the nice sweets in the pockets of the Prime Min ister, another is president df the govern ment board, and the fourth has gone to Egypt to settle the Khedive's affairs. Lord Randolph is now appearing before the public as the champion of Tory democracy, and has already found followers. MT. w. Blunt, q most marvellous Conservative, has practically gone in for home rule. He announced the other night that he was in favor of consult ing the wishes of the Irish people and let ting them have their own way. He is ready to give separate Parliament to Ireland if the Irish people want it. It is no wonder that Sir Wilfred Lawson calls him good radical. The two great political parties of the future seem now to be the Tory demo- crats headed by Lord Randolph Churchill and the radicals headed by Mir. Chamberlain. But their principles appear so much alike that perhaps fusion will occur.
 It is pity that Mademoiseile Louise Mi chel chose obstinately to remain in prison There are fifteen lady candidates coming rJ ot all in and one feels that the name of the grande citoyenne would look we'll at the head of the list Most of these ladies, one or two of whom are said to be really attractive (exeuse my looking at the question from French point of view) are at present en villegiature, ] girding up their Joins for battle. They will attend great public meeting next Tuesday and set forth their programme. There IS fun in store for the French papers next week. Poor Louise MichePs programme, when she came forward some years ago, was the sup pression of marriage. This was doleful outlook for man, but the Frenchman is light hearted Said he: tfNo marriage, no moth er-in-law" and he turned to Louise's next card The womens rights movement has suggested the following version of an old ditty, s'Where are you going to, my pretty maida' 'I'm going to a lecture, sir," she said ssMay come with you, my pretty maid?" "You won't understand it, sir, she said. ssWhat is the subject, my pretty maidw 'sThe final extinction of man," she said.
 The Armstrong abduction case is occupy ing everyone's attention. We are all anxious to see how Mr. Stead, the editor of the Pail Mall Gazette, will answer the charge made against him. He is conducting his own case and says he is delighted to have this oppor- tunity of letting the public know more on the subject of London depravity. Good | I, ,&O f@,,v, ,C2 Inc young girls mother was examined yesterday at the Bow street Police court. She proved to be s sharp-tongued customer not unac- auainted with police courts, owing to three convictions of drunkenness, one for assault and another for using obscene language. Whether MT. Stead has done wisely or not throughout this business, it is Fhard to say, but one good result of his exposures is plain ly parceptible already, and that is the i'm provement in the state of the streets. The Strand, Regent street and the Hay Market used to be almost impossible for decent men after nightfall, hut now disreputable women are sharply reprimanded by the police 1t they attempt to stand about much less accost and annoy. In fact, unprotected males can now circulate freely at all hours.
 The Lyceum Theater reopened on Saturday last and MT. Henry Irving made one more of those little speeches that his patrons have grown to expect on such occasions. He said he had not gwen them new play, put uau done hls best to give them new theater. The old Lyceum in fact was hardly recogni- | gable in this bright-looking house,s with it's ] frescoes on ceiling and galleries, it's gilded pillars and appropriate primrose satin hang | ings lined with rich red hue The public | was apparently quite pleased with the old | sights in new settings, and seemed to have | lost none of it's interest in the troubles of | dear old Parson Primrose in the new adapta- tion of the Vicar of Wakefield. MT. Irvings I impersonation of the Vicar grows in beauty at each representation The great actor is eonquering his own defects of mouthing and straddling and now gives one thoroughly good piece of acting. Indeed, never saw him play better or so well. As for Miss FL
