clients are right.
! bakers strike is threatened. The union CON-
mttee resolved to give notice to quit work on Sat-
| urday next unless the hours OF work were reduced
to sixty per week. This committee represents
! 5000 bakers, London seems more anxious for
pure bread than concerned for the bakers OF
bread. which recent disclosures prove to be ex.
tremely unclean Bread by machinery is the new
cry.
| The Newcastle Socialists have been catechising
Mr.. John Morley, without much profit to themselves
or to their peculiar gospel Their main effort was
| to extract from Mr.. Morley some sort of declara-
ton in favor of land naturalization. What they
got an expression of Mr.. Morley's opinion tha;
all such schemes are either robbery or folly. The
suggestion that the State might annex the railways
without payment met with the remark that
no more impudent form of plunder had ever en-
tered the mind of man, They elected further
from Mr.. Morley the avowal that he was dead
against abolition Of the monarchy and against
abolition of the House Of Lords, if it could be
reformed into body Of life peers His reward
is to be denounced by cranks the most reaction
ary Whig among the front-bench Liberals: and
by genuine Liberals to be more respected than ever
Mr. Chamberlain has been in conference this week
with the Birmingham Tories, trying hard to heal
them which threatens to engulf him, if not
them, and to leave Birmingham prey to Home
| Rule. His speeches, meant to be conciatory
seem TO have increased the existing irritation and
the conference adjourned without result. Another
| effort will be made.
The Fuham caucus has nominated Sir Charles
Dixie as the Liberal candidate for the next cleo
ton to Parliament. That is equivalent to making
Nff fha Thapo
on record Sir Charless distinct pledge not TO seek
to return to public life till his character has been
cleared. His character has not been cleared. nor
has any step toward clearing it been taken. To
manipulate a caucus is thing; to reverse the
| all but unanimous verdict of the public is quite
another. Public opinion has expressed itself so
strongly that Sir Charles this morning causes 1t
TO be announced that he cannot accept the Hat
tering Fulham invitation, because literary work
| is too pressing.
Mr.. Spurgeons latest mood is lyrical mood
Something has gone wrong; l cannot make out
what-perhaps the Baptist Union again; and the
great preacher cries out in agony: am called
to lead great work, and therefore beg my
comrades 10 help me- Ny brethren. hold up my
hands. Send up your continual prayer on my
behalf If the standard-bearer falls, what Will
the weaklings do? / am feeble in body and sore
pressed with anxious care. Spare me what you
can of brotherly aid, especially your loving words
of comfort and your pleadings in prayer. To the
best of my ability have held the fort and kept
the faith, but my protest seems unaNalnng
Amalelx prevails by reason of scientific unbeliel."
Mr. Surgeons physical health is unhapplly no
better than his spiritual.
Lord Falmouth goes to his grave beneath
| burden of tributes to his memory elaborate enough
| for a great party leader. He was, IN fact, re-
nowned simply and solely for his success ON the
turf He was honorable man, who pced AZ
honestly as it is possible to He practised
no swfndles and never betted. He was, in fact |
one Of the select group who lend 10 the turf |
that glamour of respectability, by the help of
which their less scrupuous comrades commit
gigantic frauds on the public.
Mr. John Moriey's monograph on .walpole, pub
lished this week by Messrs. Macmillan, seems
likely to take a place beside his Burke. Perhaps
as a piece of narrative it is even better than
what has hitherto been reckoned his masterpiece
His style, sometimes overfull, has gained in
simplicity. His account of a period full of
confused complications is a model of cucidation.
He does justice to WapOle while avoiding |
mere panegyrc; clears his memory Of unjust slurs |
and pronounces his part in the great drama |
stanch, manly and serviceable to his country |
Declining to depict Walpole of the grand |
heroic figures of human history, he awards him |
the merits of strong sagacty, penetrating conf |
nonsense and tenacious public spirit Mr.. Nor |
ley has not been able to resist iavoring his pages
with spicy references to current politics. The |
best of them is his remark that Pulteney, though |
lie had seeded from the regulars of his party |
supposed ehldshly enough that the virtue Of |
Wing principles would remain in him if he con-
lain will know for whom that arrow is meant
Two new books promised each interesting |
in its way. Mr.. Chamberlain. following his |
ex-frend Lord Randolph Churchilrs example, is |
about to publish collection of his speeches |
and Mr. Froude is gagged that life of Lord |
Beaconsfeld which Lord Rowton would not at |
tempt AS Mr. Froude shares to the full his |
hero's dislike of Mr.. Gladstone. his biography is |
likely to be a party pamphlet of the most ener-
getic kind
Mr.. Balfour's name has been mentioned this |
week in connection with a subject with which |
Irish politics or even Ireland itself has nothing |
TO do He is about to publish book on golf. |
a pastime TO which he is less devoted than |
TO coercion. Parnellites may boycott the book |
but Parnellites do not play golf
My compliments and congratulations to Mr. |
Barnum," wrote Mr.. Gladstone, eXcusing hms-lf |
from attending the Barnum banquet last evening |
Among all the honcrs showered on the veteran |
Snowman, that perhaps the most remarkable. |
The company which gathered TO welcome him |
included the Earl of kilmorey, who presided; |
Lord Bury, who toasted America in friendly |
and telling speech; Sir Robert Peel, the rejected |
Of Brighton, and Sir William Marriott, who sits |
for that town in Parliament and who proposed |
The Press" to which DR.. Russell responded |
with good sense and wit; Mr.. Sala, 10 whom fell |
the toast of the evening, and who did ample |
honor TO the occasion and to the guest Sir John |
