W. e. GLADSTONE, the great old
Commoner" of England, has laid
aside the baton Of government. His
resignation last Saturday marks an
epoch IN English history. After six
ty-two years of public life spent in
the service of the Commons of his
country, during which period he was
three times the highest officer in the
realm, and twice offered the peerage,
he retires plain untitled commoner.
The story of his life is a continuous
record of opposition to the privileged
classes, and the champion of the la
borers and common people. His
name will stand among the foremost
of the worlds truly great-those
whose lives are spent IN lettering hui
