LORD ROSEBERY'S LEADERSHIP.

Lord Rosebcry has before him difficult but
by no means impossible task. He succeeds the
most experienced Parliamentary tactican and
the most authoritative party leader known for
a generation in England. He appeals for sup
port to a coalition Of parties and factions, which
have been held together only by Mr.. Gladstone's
invincible will He is a member Of the hcrcdi-
tary House marked out in the retiring leaders

stronghold Of privilege to be attacked by Rad-
cal agitation. All the circumstances Of his sue

but do not render them insupcrablc Mr. Glad

which may make il ut once more coherent and
more manageable The Nationalists. the Rad-
Gals and the wOrkingmen's representatives have
alike suffered from the obstruction Of lcgisla-

ley grounded upon the reform Of the House Of
Lords will have the sanction Of Mr.. Gladstonc's
inspiring example, and 1t may have sufficient
attractive force 10 keep the coalition together

The directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company have prepared synopsis Of their forty
seventh annual report. which Is printed In the
advertising columns of The Tribune this morning.
This synopsis contains much information OF
value. not only to the holders OF the securities
Of the company but to every one Interested In
railroad affairs. President Roberts and his fell
low directors declare that. Notwithstanding the
severe depression which prevailed In all branches
Of Industry throughout the country, ana when
largely reflected i'm the gross revenues
and necessarily in the net results, the statement
presents quite satisfactory exhibit for the year
In addition to cash dividend of per cent, an
extra dividend OF 2 per cent In scrip con-
vertible into stock was paid out Of the profit
and loss account, and as large balance left to It's
credit as at the close OF the previous year" Only
the highest ability and the most thorough super
vision could have accomplished so much. The
report says further: These results were made
possible only by the conservative policy that has
been pursued Ia the management Of your proper

The death Of "1'he Danbury News man" will
carry many minds back 10 the time. twenty years
ago. when the writings Of j. NJ Bailey had a
tremendous vogue. He was by no means the
first American humOrst- nobody can say So who
remembers Artemus Ward and Josh Billings to
name only two OF considerable company-but
he struck n new vein and sprang into popularity
with remarkable rapdty. His paper speedily
became widely circulated, and his humorous say
ings were quoted everywhere His fun-making
consisted for tho most part In exaggerated ac-
counts Of common everyday happenings. which
he described with such apparent seriousness as
to make them exceedingly mirthful There was
no refinement I'm his humor. and to-day it would
probably be considered pretty poor stuff Bailey
caped into popularity with the rapdty of a
rocket shooting skyward and his career was
over almost with the swiftness Of the rockets
fall. It was a singular episode in the history OF
our journalism and literature. and we fancy
that II any one should open Bailey's books now to
find the secret of his popularity he would con-
slider the episode not altogether credtable.
