Justify The Prince of wales has chosen TO be indie
pendent of tho country. lie cannot continue TO 90 50.
but must sooner or later choose 90 apply
10 the Commons for income which, no
doubt will be erdengly given. In whas
spirit they would entertain any proposal to make
provision for Prince George and his sisters Is doubt
FIJI The Prince Of Wales IS in debt lie probably
owes about 100000 pounds, so he cannot have ms"'
any provision for his daughters who have no fort

pounds a year a widow, but unless Parliament
chooses to grant annutes to the children they would

THE TIDE FOR GLADSTONE IN SCOTLAND.
No doubt the tide flows in scotland in the Glad
stonan direction. Those who know tho people vel
EXPRESS strong conviction that all the Unonst seats
WILL 90 at the next election. The country at hea'

who viii go to the polls, in which case Conservative
might got in Where there crofte" members no
one will dream of fighting for seat.
Mr. Gladstone is the least National Of statesmen
IN him the patriotic fire seems wanting. That
salutary prejudice for our country which Burne
cherished makes but faint appeal TO him. i
addresses missing sense. The space which # SHOULD
fill I'm his mind is divided between cosmopolansm
and provncalism Mr.. Gladstone is, indeed. patriot
for Ireland, patriot for Scotland, patriot for Wales
but for England I'm the larger sense. the England u
history and tradition the England identical with tho
United Kingdom. he has warmth Of feeling 10
him 1t is a geographical expression The National
feeling which strong in Lord Palncrston IS
feeble or non-existent In Nr. Gladstone. II seem'
sometimes. to be inverted into National a1iiphN
But popular sentiment weak I'm Lord Palmeision, IS
strong In Mr. Gladstone, and here lies the secret OK
the unique power which he exercises large masses
of his fellow -countrymcn. The gift may be aous'A
but it is quality essential to successful statesman
ship. Mr.. Gadstones mastery of 1t is more CON
spcuous by the almost entire lack of 1t IN his con
emporaries. and especially among the men on whom
at a critical moment the task has fallen OF combating
his projects.
