HENRY ]. LABoUcHERE, the radical,

HENRY j.. LABoUCHERE, the radical,
and Gladstone, the liberal, are travelling
along the same road but both set the end
OF their aims at different points. Both
are cordially agreed on the extension OF
manhood suffrage, church disestabhsh-
ment In Wales and home rule in Ireland.
Gladstone stops short at the adjustment
of the house of lords, in,imatIng that
that issue will come up when the times
are ripe for it. In the last number of the
Arena Labouchere says the house Of lords
is not in touch with public opinion and
favors its adjustment. but he stops short
at the overthrow of the monarchy. He
does not believe that this step would be
at all desirable at present and much pre-
fers the constitutional monarchy of Eng
land to the presidential elections Of the
United States.
IN reading the platform of the Liberal
party one cannot fail, however, to be
struck with the constant advance OF politi
cal thought in England, and while pro-
gress is made by hairs breaths there is al
ways hope OF advance so long as free dis
cussion Is not interdlcfed.

The cooperative movement in England
at the present time is apparently estab-
lished firmly. The figures for 1890.
given by Mr.. Holyoake, show that there
were then 1,515 societies, with 1854, 900
members. The share capital was
Ell 1893, 934; the loan capital was
f2,475, 1856; the reserve was e5S5, 8S1; the
annual business was e4O, 225, 406; the
trade expenses were &c, 139, S41; the
profits for the year were e3, ITO, $40. The
volume Of business, moreover, increases
steadily. In his inaugural address to
the Glasgow congress of 1890, Lord
Roseberry said that 1.-THE cooperative
sales of 1889 and 1890 showed an increase
at the rate of GO, 100000 a al In
twenty-six years the sales have amounted
to the almost incredible sum of nearly
e474, 200 ,00c. and the profits to nearly
e40, 000, 900.
To give an idea of the magnitude of
the movement, the speaker added that
the number of members of the societies
were half as great again as the great
army Napoleon led into Russia, and the
capital of the movement was as great as
the national debt of England in the
reign Of Queen Anne, and the
tive annual income was as great as the
income Of England during the reign of
William I'LL" These statistics may be
regarded as proving that the coop
erative movement in England has come
to stay, and yet when one considers the
extent Of the successes it has already
gained, surprise may be felt that they
have not been greater. But the truth is,
as Mr. Holyoake freely admits, that the
movement has encountered great and
constant difficulties, and hat many of
these difficulties nave been created by
the very people who had most to hope
from cooperation.

An Heroic Faiher.

BosToN, Mass, Oct. 2,-There was an
example of rare heroism in a burning
house IN the South Cove district early
this morning. A defective chimney
started a brisk FIRE in the chambers oc-
cupied by six young children of d. f..
Lyons, Communication with the stairs
wa cut off by a SOLID wall of flame when
Mr.. Lyons was aroused by the cries of
his children. He had to stand in the
flames while battering down the door
leading to the loom occupied by his three
boys. The latter he found couched il
the farthest corner, half suffocated with
the smoke. He seized the two smallest
in his arms and rushed down the now
smoking stairs, then fastened ba k
through the flames fer his other boy. As
he passed the girls room he cried to them
to cover themselves with the bed clothes
and try and rush through the fire. The
two oldest did so, their wraps being
scorched with the heat. On his way back
he rescued the youngest girl. Then he
fell exhausted and badly burned. He
will recover.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2-The vexatious
leprosy question has come up here again,
and been discussed by the board Of health.
A German by the name of Dressed died
here Monday of leprosY. He was living
in his own home on Ursuline street, sur
rounded by his wife and children, and the
board OF health seem TO lave had no
knowledge Of the existance of the case
until notified of the dea.h. The matter
was brought before the board to sec if
some plan could not be adopted for the
isolation of the lepers known TO be living
in this city, some twenty, by which they
could be confined instead of being allowed
to roam at large and mix with the COM
muDity. DIR. Oliphant, president of the
board OF health, expressed the opinion
that the Louisiana leprosy was not con-
t~agious, but hereditary. DR.. Pratt, late
house surgeon of the Charity hospital. was
of the same opinion and did not think
the board could do anything under
the present law toward isolating the lepers
or combining them to their house. Al
though not believing in the contagious
ness OF the disease. DIR. Oliphant was
strongly in favor OF the establishment of
a leper hospital where these unfortunate
people could die in peace, whereas now
they arouse the horror, fear and disgust
of the people when they appear on the
street, and the legislature will be applied
to and asked to provide such an estab-
lishment and to pass a law by which per
sons afflicted with this disease can be con-
fined there. There is a wide difference
OF opinion among the Louisiana doctors
as to the contagiousness of ~leprosy, but
the popular belief is that it can be trans
mltted from one person to another. and
the demand has always been for a leper
home or hospital. The family of Dressed.
who died here Monday, were unaware
that his disease was leprosy.
