London, Nov. l3-What is called Sir Charles
Warren's resignation is practically his dismissal
When once the Home Secretary had been allowed
TO lecture the Chief of Police in the House OF
Commons for publishing an article in Murrays
Magazine his stay in office became impossible
IT has been for some time question whether Sir
Charles or Mr.. Matthews should go. There has
been friction since the Trafalgar Square riots
last winter. Then came disputes respecting the
detective service, and the resignation of Mr.
-Monro, the head detective, followed By his trans
fer to the Home Office. Mr. Matthews has be-
haved badly throughout, and is perhaps the least
competent and least popular Home Secretary since
Mr. Spencer Walpole Of fearful memory. Finally
the differences between him and Sir Charles
Warren became a Cabinet question. and the Cabinet
as usual preferred sacrifice somebody else rather
than colleague.
1t only shows once more what weak things
strong Government can do. The desire
for Mr.. Matthew's retirement is genu-
inc and well founded. The opposition to the
Chief of Police sprang from no other cause than
his doing his duty and doing it thoroughly well
Complaint of him because he was soldier was
empty complaint Serious attack on him dates
from Trafalgar Square He knew his own mind
about that business; Mr.. Matthews did not know
his Sir Charles determined TO keep order;
Mr. Matthews for order one day and disorder
the next Perhaps there was moment when
the Chief of Police forced the hand of the Home
Secretary. At any rate, he completely defeated the
agitators, whose howl of bafled rage is turned
into a yell of delight over his fall They have
never ceased to pursue him.
There not many things in the history OF the
Radical press more disgraceful than its campaign
against Sir Charles Warren. 1t a campaign
of calumny Others joined in it, notably such
statesmen Mr.. Conybeare, Mr.. Graham and Pro
fessor Stuart and the lowest types of irresponsible
fanatics. When the Whitechapel murders oc-
CURED, Sir Charles was held responsible for the
failure to discover the murderer Worse: these
papers stuck at nothing. There was no dirt they
were not ready to fing. They have triumphed
and the Cabinet have the pleasure of rejecting
that Mr. Conybeare has proved himself stronger
than Lord Salisbury People do not care for
technicshties. All the Anarchists. Socialists and
agtators of every grade and criminals of every
class know that their enemy is overthrown and
that it is they who have overthrown him. He
never would have been allowed to resign but for
outside agitation. The mob have learned their
lesson They have only to rail against their OPP
pressor long enough, and out he must go. Sir
Charles did his duty admirably, and London owes
him an immense debt His successor, whoever he
may be, knows that If he does equally we'll he
may expect the same fate. There is a fairly good
prospect that the police Of London will have TO
adjust itself to the wishes of the lowest classes
No new facts of importance out at the
inquest the latest victim of the Whitechapel
murderer. If the police have any evidence, they
keep it back, most wisely. Experts, l believe,
say nothing has done more to prevent the arrest
OF the murderer than excessive publicity. Every
clew supposed clew, has been discussed in
print with the result that the criminal knew
what being done, KNEW where suspicion
pointed, and knew how to divert it, But as he
probably does not read the New York papers, may
say the police confident that they know the man
who committed all the murders. They have an
exact description of him and are searching for
him night and day, but have lost his trail Ell
tim1y. They are entirely confident, however,
that he cannot ultimately escape
The Dewsbury election, though not supposed TO
be doubtful, creates some little stir. Mr. Arnold
Forster, whom the Unionists have sent down 10
contest the seat is a superior young man with
happy knack OF irritating his opponents Mr..
T. L. O'Connor has been dispatched by the Home
Rulers to look after Mr.. Forster The two men
are not i'll matched. Mr.. O'Connor has impaired
swcr to Mr. Forster's challenge his American re-
mark that the government of Ireland Is founded
on murder, confscation, ,Sucl1shot and bayonets.

The protests against Sir Henry Blake's appoint
ment as Governor of Queensland have more grounds
than one. There is, l hear. a much stronger re-
publican feeling in Queensland than in any other
Australian colony. They do not expect 70 cut

do expect to be consulted in the choice of a
Governor to rule over them The Colonial Of
fee followed its traditions and picked ont its
own man. Sir Henry Blake is able. He was
much hated in Ireland because he was a magis-
tratc and is perhaps disliked for the same reason
in Quee.,sand, where there is large Irish popu-
latior Ind because he is brother-in-law TO a
Dun.
Mr.. Gladstone's visit to the Midlands ended
amid some confusion. Wolverhampton sent him
on his way with mingled cheers and grodns.
Oxford distinguished itself by giving the Home
Rule leader the most hostile reception he has yet
had to endure Home Rule is anything but pop
ular among the young lions of the University.
Mr. Gladstone arrives in London to-day, but is
houseless, and will be the guest of MIR. Stuart
