In the recent general election in Great
Britain there has been a good deal Of de-
nunciation and very little wit, and there
has been a conspicuous absence Of good
nature. The hard hitting that distin-
guished political life Of old was tempered
by epigrarns, and even fun; all this seems
to have disappeared; neither the Primrose
