/ That IL essential. You cannot succeeo

But above ALL" Mr.. Disraeli went on.
/ s'you must have the gift Of oratory. The

20 upon the hastings and 1t is almost In
dispensable In Parliament. II was by his
oratory that my uncle after many fall
ures compelled the House OF Commons to
listen 10 him and to admit Of bis ability.
Mr.. Gladstone's wonderful gifts in the
same way have saved him many times
where his undoubtedly great political sa-
gacity failed him. What was true in the
day OF Fox and Pitt and Burke Is true
still The English people demand that
their political leaders shall talk well. just
as they have admired soldiers who talked
very little"
In the course of his talk Mr.. Disraeli
touched upon the problem that IS so con-
stantly disturbing England, the labor
question, and here again his conservatism
cropped out. The strike leaders are SIM

land pretty soon the workingmen VIII
see this. John Burns with his blatant
tongue and Keir Hardie posing In the
House OF Commons in a costermonger
suit are not the men who are going to

Your workingmen in America are ahead
Of our people in this respect. They insist
that their leader shall wear clean linen
and observe those ordinance rules that
obtain among gentlemen. our working
men will reach the same policy after
little time"
Here Mr.. Disreali again referred to the
policy Of his uncle.
1T was his belief that there was
strong vein OF conservatism among the
working people," said Mr.. Disraeli, "and
that IT ought to be worked. He obsery-
ed that the workingman was often rad
ical until his pocket was touched when
he became strict conservative. The
worklngman of England is finding that the
strike policy OF Burns and Hardie Is
touching his pockets In very unpleasant
way, and so II will have TO go"
Mr. Disraeli made one statement that
will be of more than ordinary interest.
He says that he still has papers OF MS
uncle that the public has not known or
and that are of Importance. II IS his In
tention to publish them in the near fu-
ture, and they will make very interesting
reading when he does. The Earl or
Beaconsfield was the holder or secrets
and Of information such as but rev men
knew of. and that might change the cur
Of hn ygn
map Of Europe has been changed and re-
changed. Some OF these papers Mr.. Dis
raeli will not publish, for they refer to
living men and might give pain without
doing any one any good. There are some
men who have climbed into fame at the
coat tails of Gladstone and Disraeli and
have been at times false to each Of those
great men, who would find these papers
that the earl left behind mighty interest
ing But Mr. Disraeli will not make
these public. The papers he will some
day print are mainly of a reminiscent
character, and will hurt no one. As some
of the last work Of the elder Disraeli
they will have a more than ordinary
value.
Just now Mr.. Disraeli is arranging
these papers ard enjoying the splendid
estate that is his. He loves the latter.
every whit as much as his uncle did, and
it is in no way likely to suffer at his
hands. Very tender indeed is his care for
the old church in which the bones Of his
uncle lie near TO those of the wife who
helped him In fame and the primroses
that grow about Hughenden are no more
neglected than they were whea Lord
BeacOnsheld himself was alive.
Mr.. Disraeli has no seat in Parliament
now. He went TO the wall with others
who opposed the policy of the great Prime
But he is hiding his time. and
some day England may hear more OF

time he has no especial reason TO feel at
all unhappy. A good many scions of no.

change places with him.
