Welsh. Their ..labor candidates are,

Welsh electors not to be guilty" or the
return of an EngliShman. Sir Horace
Davy thereupon withdrew from the
contest, although he had been
SELECTED BY THE LIBERAL
association as their candidate. Another
strong point in Mr.. Llewellyn was that
his uncle, G. r. M. Talbot, the Octoge-
fought hard for his nephew's election.
Mr.TalDot is Liberal disSident. and the
principal landowner and the person of
the greatest influence in the Cover
division. He is a very shrewd
and Silent man. but did good
work at the polls in Mr.. Llewellyn's
behalf as the size of his nephew's vote
plainly shows. The father of the house,
who has sat for Glamorganshire without
a break since 1880, is, strange to say,
not one of the well-known members.
Yet he is not without other distinctions.
He took high honors at Oxford sixty-five
years age; he has refused a peerage; he
is lord lieutenant of GlamOrganshire,
and is immensely esteemed for his judg-
ment and ability by his colleagues in
the board of the Great Western railway.
The situation regarding the Irish arrears
question is an exact repetition of that
of last year. Then the government OBJ
jected to dealing with the judicial rents
in any shape or form, and were ofly
BROUGHT TO THE SCRATCH
by the strongest pressure from the Lib
eral- Unionist party. The government,
however, had their way in the matter
of arrears, which they refused in effect
to deal with, and, not content with that,
brought in clause at the eleventh hour
which knocked the backbone out OF
their own bill. The results of that pol
icy are now visible. AS healing meas
ure the act which was passed under
those conditions has been the main fail
ure, and it has become clear to every
one that, unless the question of arrears
can be radically dealt with, there will
never be agrarian peace in Ireland.
The Unionists, therefore, are 60
ing to try once more their game of
brag, which had partial success last
summer, the government are warned
that unless they introduce bill prOvld-
ing for radical method of dealing with
arrears shortly after the Easter holidays
they may not count on the support of
many Unionists in the future. a few
weeks will show whether they can af
ford to defy the Unionists. or not.
FREDERICK's HEALTH.

The most trustworthy information is to
the effect that Sir Morell Mackenzie has
finally acQuiesced in the pessimistic
views of his German colleagues. The
emperor himself of course knows
perfectly the danger to which
his life is exposed, and it is
a truly royal trait that he shows
perfectly Indifferent to what
may happen. He is unwearied in his
work, and patient to the last degree in
his suffering. No sign of discomfort, of
veXation, or of impatience escaped him,
and he confronts the assaults of a terri
BILE disease with the same GOODNESS he so
often edisplayed upon the battlefield.
This and similar qualities he has shown
in other fields. Early in life it was
given to him to see clearly truth too
often hidden from monarchs-that the
king of free people should be their
leader rather than their master. The
treatment accorded by Prince Bis
marck to the Prussian house of
in the first years
of King Williams reign was not to the
mind of Frederick, and he let his mind
be known to those concerned. But his
desire to trust the people never blinded
him to his country's welfare, and when
lHC w IUll auOUlit CctLC W q llCdo
it is believed that Frederick even sooner
than his father saw the truth of Bis
marck's view that the dispute must be
settled with 'blood and IRON" Yet he
had been ever steadfast to his old beliefs,
and in 1886 at Heidelburg he spoke 4
words that show the liberality of his
spirit. He has been referring to the
services
TO THE CAUSE OF HUMANITY
rend cred by Heidelburg's struggles for
ton, and to the services to German

power of gathering Germans to an in
.electual center. He concluded his
speech by saying: Now that German
unity has been regained, the mainten-
ance of the ancient virtues of our race
will call for the exercise of still greater
prudence, of self-denial, strength and
spiritual discipline, in order to promote
n liberal spirit the growth of national
ife." This surely was the utterance

he unfettered pursuit of knowledge.
If the soldier has fought and the
scholar spoken, the statesman has
shown himself in dignified silence. Bis

ieves also in diplomacy and bluff. Fred
