AMERICAN BISHOPS AND THE FRAGRANT WEED

even a brisk demand for smoking carriages, and The
sight Of three Bishops their way to Cambridge lo'

rORD RANDoIPH CHURCHILL AND THE MIN
ISTRY
There can be no doubt that the desire Is now gens
eral in the Conservative party to see LORD Randopa
Churchill back in the Ministry His great readiness
in debate, his decision and irmness In dealing WIN
the Opposition, qualities which would again ehS
able him TO be of great service to the party as theN
enabled him in the autumn session OF 80. IL
universally admitted that he led the House at tnas
time with signal ability. The success OF MS iheff
vention in the Channel Tunnel debate and his rapd
movement upon Mr. Conybeare in vindcation OF tha
Speaker and the House Of Commons arc more recenI
examples of his promptness in every emergency. ~
Is not surprising that even those most ncensed ~
his resignation should be anxious to see him oncd
more In the Ministry before the perls OF the new s
sion are encountered. There appear to be no greav
difficulties In the way Of managing this Loru hahs
dolphs colleagues are as general rule' quite pe'
pared to welcome him back. Hard terms and condis
tons ought not to be imposed on either side. II
certainly does seem unfortunate that one OF the aoie
and most popular leaders the Conservatives ever had
should at time like this be stranded on the oac1
benches The party will yet need all It's Strength "
cone with its enemies The sooner its ranks an
closed up again the better for all concerned.
