Sir Thomas Gladstone usually al
tended the service at Westminster
Abbey on Sunday afternoon when he
was in town, and he was invariably
'mobbed when walking up aud down
the nave afterward by people who
mistook him for his younger brother,
whom he greatly resembled, but Sir
Thomas was taller and more stately in
appearance. Sir Thomas lived and
died a Tory Of the old Eldon type, and
his consistency and the plainness with
which he avowed his opinions made
him respected even by his most bitter
political Opponents. He went TO Ok
ford in 1853 and voted against his bro
ther when that statesman was opposed
by Mr.. Perceval, after he had joined
Lord Aberdeen's administration, and
he invariably inveighed against Mr..
Gladstone's policy whenever he made
a political speech. but personally they
were on the most cordial terms.
They also differed in their church
views, for Sir Thomas, who was a
most devout man, favored the evan
gelical side. Sir Thomas Gladstone's
place in Kincardineshire, Fasque
house, is a splendid mansion, and the
extensive demesne is well wooded and
very picturesque. The home farm is
one Of the finest in Scotland. Sir
Thomas inherited the estates of Fasque
and Balbegno. which extend TO 81, 900
acres, from his father; and in 1856 he
purchased Strachan and Glendye from
Lord Southesk for $4,000. This es-
tate which extends 10 %, 1000 acres Of
low ground. hill pastures, and grouse
moors, is one of the best shootings in
Scotland. Sir Thomas was a most
rigorous game preserver for many
years, but latterly his tenants had no
cause TO complain in this or any other
respect, and he was a most popular
laird, and took a deep and intelligent
interest in all agricultural affairs.
Sir Thomas Gladstone was for some
years attache 10 the British embassy
in Paris, under Lord Stuart de Roth
say, during the reign of Charles X,
and he had many good stories to re-
late about the curious customs of the
old Bourbon court He sat in the
house Of commons from 1880 to 1887,
and in 1865 he stood for kincardine-
shire, but was defeated by the late
Nj. Dyce Nicol Of Balloge, who was
the first Liberal ever returned from
that county, as the late Sir Hugh Ar
buthnot had then represented it as a
Conservative for thirty-nine years,
during which period he was only once
opposed. World.

The loss OF the war ships ut Samoa
was a terrible blow TO the navy. Three
gallant men-of-war sunk in a night,
and the navy already short of good
shipsl The situation aroused the pa
triotism Of the whole country at once,
and the misfortune was bewailed
throughout the land. The secretary
OF the navy has, since the disaster,
been in receipt OF numerous letters Of
coincidence, encouragement aud sug-
gestion, referring 10 ways and means
for retrieving the losses. But none
exhibit more touching ~earnestness of
patriotism than the following, sent by
a little maiden of Reading. Pa, where
war ships are myths. II was written
neatly and was straight TO the point,
as follows;
"MR. TRAcY-My cousin was on the
war ship, and she said the sailors vast.
ed the potatoes, and | thought if they
took thinner parings you might build
a ship TO send where the others got
lost. / am only eleven, but | can take
thinner parings. Ny mother does not
know / am writing this"
The secretary's private secretary,
Mr.. Raymond, called his attention TO
this letter, and he directed that il be
sent to the bureau Of provisions and
clothing. A reply was sent TO the lit,
tie girl, thanking her for her sugges,
ton. The letter was filed in the ar
chives of the department, bearing on
its back these words, stamped in red
ink: Referred to the Bureau of Pro.

INCREASE OF PRODUCTION.

Edward Atkinson. in the February Forum. |
Finally, would this change in the
system of land-tenure lead to an in
crease of production? IT the present
product is fifty cents worth per head
OF the population, more or less, what
would be the effect OF the SINGLE
tax system in increasing or dimln-
ishing this productp When the
advocates of this system put their
proposed measure into the form of q
bill to be submitted to any legislature,
their difficulties will begin and the
fallacy of their reasoning will at once
become plain.
l may suggest that il is often a suffl-
cient test of an priori theory to ask
the proponent TO put his proposed sys-
tenn in the form OF bill to be passed
upon by any Legislature. This brings
the subject to practical issue, aud in
nine cases out of ten the theorists are
incapable of framing an act because
their proposition is impossible.

THE SABBATH.

From the St.Louis Christian Advocated
In the midst of the widespread aud
increasing violation of the Sabbath now

to find q number of strong and inhuen.
tial men combining and uniting their
efforts in the pulpit and the press to
bring about better state of things in
regard to the observance OF the day a.
a day of rest, according to the original
charter.
They do not plead for what Is COM
monty known as the Puritanic Sabbath
"a day of long-facedness, of solemn
looks and lugubrious groanings, but

inteut-a day of cessation from worldly
labors and worldly cares--a rest for

children. and domestic animals-not
for ball.playing. theatre-going, picnic.
ing. and other exercises which are as
exhausting az what is commonly called
hard work-a day when the toiling
laborer, the busy merchant, the hard
pressed professional man, nay suspend
the ordinary pursuits of life and devote
themselves to calm, quiet iutrospection,
meditation, religious and moral culture
of themselves and families; and thus
helping to strengthen the family ties,
increasing the endearmeuts of home
and lessening the burden of life. Men
need such rest. Their mental, moral,
and physica! constitutions demand II;
and thus Il has been said the Sabbath
was made for man, because his nature
required it-snd he il alw avs benefit

And what does the president say2
That departure from the lines of
guidance laid down by the constitution
Is failure of the government.
That the government is under bond
to the people that in The exercise of its
powers it will he 'scrnpulously honest
and fair, and absolutely Just :"
That by Determinations on the Tart
of the government immense fortunes
are accumulated, "buiIt upon undue
exactions from the people,"
That trusts, combinations and mo-
nopolies are, with the aid of govern
mental discrimination in their favor,
and against the people, "fast becoming
the peoples masters
That "lnsteal of limiting the tribute
drawn from citizens" TO its necessities.
the government adds to extOrtion the
dangers attending the diversion of the
currency from the channels of trade.
That the government permits mil
lions to be added to the cost of living
of the people, to swell the profits OF
the favored few.
That the government Rratuitously
enters into partnership with those
favorites. to their advantage and to the
injury of The masses of the people.
That this favoriteism on the part OF
the government has developed in the
favored class a selfish and sordid spirit,
and that they seek ouly selfish ad-
vantage. and by combination to control
Legislation and the suffrage OF the
people.
That these favorites, with whom the
government has leagued to rob the
dangerous than the communism ol
oppressed poverty.
That communism is hateful thing,
and menace 10 peace and organized
government.
What picture of government by
the people. for the people!
According to the statements of the
president, instead OF a government by
the people, for the people, 1t is 8
government of organized plunderers
for the ropbery of the people.
The president, in the first few lines
we quote, lays down a contingency iI
which government under the constitu
ton is failure. Then in the subse
quent passages quoted admits the ex
istence of the contingency first allud
ed to.
Thus we have the president of tn
United States alleging that the gov

failure as government under the con
stitution.
