MR. MORLEY AND THE. ROYAL GRANTS.
One OF the separatist papers artlessly oonfesses
that n Was fortunate for Mr.. John Morley that his
constituents IN Newcastle did MOI raise the question
of tho Royal grants when heckling him. The secret
history of Mr.. Morley's manoeuvIings last July is
somewhat remarkable. Several years ago, in an un-
guarded moment, Mr. Morley pledged himself to OPP
pose any grant that might be proposed TO the chdren
of the Prince OF Wales. When the question came up
In tho last session. Mr. Morley was placed In cruelty
embarrassing position man who had peeh III
high Office and who, expecting to lind himself again
on tho Ministerial bench, could not possibly oppose
vote TO the children OF the HerAppareDt. Mr.
Morley thereupon consulted Mr.. Gladstone, whom he
appears to have regarded emphatca!ly the right
man 10 extricate him from his predicament And he
was not mistaken, for Mr. Gladstone pointed OUT
that although he had promised 10 oppose grant to
the children of the Prince of Walos yet there was
no reason whatever why he should not support an
additional grant 10 the Prince of Wales himself for
the benefit OF his children. Mr.. Morley eagerly
availed himself Of his leaders device, and this was
the origin of the curious proposal which Mr.. Smith
ultimately made after private consultation with
Mr.. Gladstone.

LORD FALMoUTH'S HEAVY WINNINGS.
Figures do not always lie, and Lord Falmouth
never betor it is not difficult 10 compute how
large his profits have been from 1870 TO the sale
of his stud In 1884, seeing that during that period
he won nearly quarter of million pounds in stakes,
and that HIS horses training and breeding stud fetched
considerably over 100000 pounds This was indie
pendent OF the large sums he had received for other
horses sold privately. After making the most liberal
allowance for expenses it will be safe that
Lord Falmouth made more money out OF the turf than
any OF his contemporaries
