He is in close touch with several Of ina
Welsh Parliamentary party. and it is quite
possible that other causes besides ground
rents will benefit by his generosity.
No one seems to have stood the ordeal
of division after division In the crowded
| and intnlerably hot parliamentary lobby
| this session better than Gladstone. For
days and weeks together the lobbies have
been like ovens and not few members
must have wished that this "too. too solid
| flesh would melt" little under such con-
ditions. but the Premier has throughout
looked as cool as cucumber. Recently
one of his ardent Welsh supporters. Her
bert Lewis, tried to persuade Gladstone.
who was sitting on the edge of a table in
the Government lobby, to take his chair.
Gladstone declined with thanks. Lewis
repeated his offer and Gladstone persisted
in his refusal of the offer of his young fol-
lower. Very often Gladstone avals HIM
self of the wrting-table in the division
lobby to dash through portion of his pri-
vate cores spondence for the day.
