THE WEEK DULL ONE AS WHOLE.
In British politics matters have been
extremely dull this week. Both parties
seem to have become wearied OF the tame
public utterances Of minor leaders, and
TO have fallen into state Of Indifference.
This may continue for a fortnight. Prime
Minister Salisbury will make a political
address at The Mansion house banquet in
the second week Of November, and ex-
Premier Gladstone will Immediately fol-
low him with two or three campaign
speeches in Scotland. These orations will
revive the Jagged campaign, which, 1t Is
thought, will thereafter be very lively and
awaiting.
