 The Sydney Times, speaking of Sullivan's failure as an actor, says: He is new to the stage, and does not quite grasp the fact that an actor is supposed to speak his Ian guage, and not to hurl ungrammati- cal impromptu speeches at the heads of his audience who do not happen to have been educated down to his standard of histrionic impor- tance.

When we started in to build modern ships, armor and guns, British technical journals com placently suggested that if we wanted good work we should apply to British manufacturers, as we could not do it ourselves, and many of our democrats and mugwumps echoed the recommendation. What have they to say about it now7'
 Gladstone made speech recently ] at Newcastle, in which, speaking of the question of free trade, he said: "Our children and kinsmen in Amer ica to whom we have looked and might still look to teach us many useful legislative lessons, have set us in this matter the example of a retrograde nation.
