LONDON. July 20.-Before four weeks nave
passed away, perhaps sooner, Mr.. Gladstone
will again DO Prime Minister OF Great brlta'n
and Ireland and lord paramount OF the
British Empire There are few EnGhshmen.
and still fewer Americans. who recognize the
full Significance OF these opening WORDS

Nevertheless. tho general election. which
came to close yesterday. has given rise
among the defeated to moro heart burnings
more evil passions. more bitterness. and mon
dacity than it is possible to describe In words.
The result shows that the Tories have not
al r,pvn IL
ing proportions as to be able to stand on the
hastings side by side with the Grand Old Man.
Some attempts have been made by Mr.. Bal
four's partisans to representhim as tho most
interesting political personality OF the day"
Two things make 1t i'm possible for him to pose
in TINT capacity: Firstly. he Is poor plat
form speaker: secondly. he Is devoid Of
heart. and consequently wholly without
magnetism. His intimate friends say
that he never yet loved: indeed. that no Is
wholly insensible to female attractions.
Rumor. which in the vicious atmosphere OF
London is as great jade and scandalmonger
as the " Fame" OF Virgil. has long coupled the

But to be n great. q persuasive. or a

necessary gifts A statesman who cannot In
this democratic day whip the masses out of
their boots" who cannot. in Mr.. Gadstone's
