notice was taken.
Such little scenes as this, which are of no great
,mnortance in themselves serve to portray those
who figure in them Mr.. Graham is one OF those
fanatics who find it difficult TO believe III the
boncsty of any one who differs from them. MI
Morley on the other hand, is a scholar ana man
of the world who, extremist as he is on some
points has learned to make allowances 1or those
less extreme than himself Mr.. Courtney, 100
drew little sketch of himself in the same DEBATE
lie ventured 10 ask the attention OF the House lor
n short time because he had the good or Ill
fortune to differ from almost every one who had
preceded him in the debate. There you have Mr.
Courtney in profile. lie must take his own poht
OF view and what makes matters so much worse
is that he has much 10 say for his own point
of view, and says it with such knowledge, such
force, such power of independent tmnNhg' Us
sometimes makes both sides feel that they are
both wrong and that Mr. Courtney IS rlght
II vou want Mr.. Courtney's counterpart-l
use the word in Drydens sense-you may tiKe
MIR. Conybeare the genial member who goes In
the House and elsewhere by the name of the curse
of Camborne 1t is the northwestern or Cam
borne division of Cornwall for which he sits,
while Mr. Courtney sits for another division OF
tho same county, Mr.. Conybeare has all MI
Courtney's uncompromsing temperament, but ID
the member for Camborne it is a shorter WORD
than temperament that most people wouid use
the last two sylables omitted. TINS atttude OF
INDEPENDENCE, which in Mr.. Courtney is intel
lects,al. is in Mr.. Conybeare merely INDIVIDUAL
In Mr.. Courtney it is quality, In MI. Cohyoeare
an idiosyncrasy. Mr.. Courtney justlfies ms sell
assertion: SUPPORTS his opinion, If singular, by
evidence. by reason, by mental distinction; whch
Mr. Conybeare does not think ii needful 10 no.
The result is that Mr.. Courtney is Respected Nv
the House. even when he Is thought oVerpearihg.
Mr. Conybeare is dislSed even by his hadlcal
associates / remember his adventures IN Ire
land and the sentence of three months imprison-
ment which his collision with the authorizes
broupht upon him. Mr. Labouchere was asked
What he thought of it. - think" said Mr..
Iabouchere, that such sentence Is an outrage
upon law and upon every principle of justice ana
that IL ought TO be so arranged that Mr.. Cony-
heare should serve his three months while the
House is in session.
Some OF the Unonists have been scandalized
nv MIR. Gladstone's recent eulogy on this Corn
,-au ratriot IL you examine Mr.. Gladstone
words they amount to little more than such an
expression of civil good wishes as the leader OF q
marty is expected 10 make when speaking 10
members constituents. Then came the story thai
Mr. Conybeare had insisted on riding in Mr.
Cladstonc's carriage. That is true enough III
substance. but what does it signify whether he
insisted or not? lie was met by man not less
firm than himself and he did not ride in Mr.
Gladstonc's carriage
Az mentioned the other day rumor that
the Tories had been very civil TO Mr.. Gladstone
during this Western tour, may tell you a story
or tnyo which confirm il. The custom has been
on sucb occasions for Tory clubs TO close, or If
omen. TO signify their dissent from the prevailing
Liberal enthusiasm in disagreeable ways. But
the Tory clubs were now kept open anf were
crowded. and though the people in their windows
did not cheer Mr. Gladstone, they did not GO
the other thing. They received him respectfully.
