GLADsTONE'S RETIREMENT.

The resignation of Mr.. Gladstone will
mean his early death. To man used to
heavy responsibilities the leaving off is
nearly always fatal-New York CONNER
cial Advertiser.
He retires now full of years and honors
with the reputation of having accomplished
more for the common people Of Great Brit
ain and ireland than any British statesman
of any time or age--Chicago Tribune.
His firm, wise counsel will not yet be lost
for the power of such character and such
a career does not cease with the surrender
of official title. In GladStone'S case 1t viii
not cease even with his life.-Philadelphia
Times.
Mr.. Gladstone is wonderful man, but
with all his learning, and his talents, and
his experience it may fairly be doubted
whether he is closely in touch with the
dominant spirit of this age as the young
Earl of Rosebery.-Chicago Times.
Every admirer of Mr.. Gladstone, every
friend of his policy and every believer in
the national and human uses of great men
must prefer that the day of his resignation
of the premiership shall be the day of his
final and decisive withdrawal from public
affairs.-New York Times.
His impress upon English history has
been greater than that of any man since
Peel, his last and browning effort in the
direction of home rule for Ireland being,
most marked departure from the beaten
path OF the English Prenners.-Cmcinnat
Tribune.
He may take much honor from the fact
that his defeats have always been suffered
in the cause of human right, and it can be
no more a source of regret TO himself than
to the world of just people everywhere
that he must step aside before completing
the last great work of his life.-LouiSvllle
Courier Journal.
In many essential points ne will never
have a successor. God seldom works such
miracles in single Such rich and
rare combination of thought genius, elo-
quence scholarship moral conservation and
broad and beneficent craftsmanship will not
be seen again, at least by this generation.

Herald
He has looked upon the bright side OF
things, and taught lessons of cheerfulness
and encouragement. In. all his operations
he has preserved a serene faith in human
ity and striven TO increase the measure OF

has encountered failures; but, taken all IN
all the story of his career is one of shin

Mr. Gladstone saves what he can from
the wreckage Of long and stormy par

glish Democracy proclaims war upon the
Wreckers. The pilot must be dropped, fol
he is old, and blind and deaf; but he has
marked out the course to be resolutely fol

For some years past the Worlds Worn
ems Christian Temperance Union has been
preparing a monster petition against traf-
fic in alcohol and opium and legalized vice,
to be presented to all the governments of
the world. Under the management of Lady
Henry Somerset and Miss Frances Willard
more than two million signatures to the
petition have been obtained, and prepara-
tons are now making to lay 1t before diff
ferent governments. The editor of The Re-
view of Churches says in the March num-
Der that he has been asked to arrange for
a trip around the world by one hundred
women to visit foreign potentates, and it
is proposed to charter steamship for the
trip. After the convention of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union in October
next the petition will be taken to Washing
ton and laid before the President. On Oct
"a the American contingent will sail from
New York and reach London in time to
join in a great demonstration in Exeter
Hall on Nov. !, after which the petition
will be presented to the Queen. Naples will
be the next point reached by the steam
ship, and Rome will be visited, where the
visitors hope to see Pope Leo and King
Humbert. From Rome the party will go TO
Athens and visit King George, and then

Jerusalem, the King OF Siam, the Mikado
of Japan and other monarchs will be VS.

good women who are organizing this mod

ONE YEAR OF CLEVELANDIsM.

We have now had one full year Of Cleve-
history of the Republic did so general and
so marked a change for the worse attend
the first year of new administration and
a new policy. The morning a year ago that
Mr.. Cleveland called his Cabinet together
the country was very generally prosperous.
Those engaged in the great industries of
the country would not believe that Mr..
Cleveland and his associates would attempt
to carry out any part of the pledges of the
Chicago convention, and the change was
not immediate. So soon, however. as it was
made evident that Mr.. Cleveland and his
Congress would undertake a general re-
vision of the tariff confidence gave way
to uncertainty. and paralysis began to creep
over the business and industries of the
country. Since the outline of the Wilson
bill was made public disaster may be said
to have become general Such is the testi-
mony of Democrats In their appeals to
hasten the settlement of the tariff ques-
that blows no one good" Such an i'll wind
has the Cleveland policy proved to every
interest in this country. Even the army of
Office seekers who were falling over each
other by battalions to shout for the Presi-
dent year ago are, for the most part, filled
with nothing but wrath. A year ago three
cheers for Cleveland could he had on in1,i
tation at any street corner. To-day after a
year of Clevelandism, any proposition for
a show of enthusiasm for the President
would scatter the most valiant assemblage
Of his followers and be regarded by the
people at large as quite as inappropriate
as levity at a funeral Smokeless chimneys,
silent machinery, idle men and women,
shrunken trade and values, short and thin
railway trains, decreased wages, profits, in
short, general disaster marks the first year
OF Clevelandsm and the first appearance
of Democratic President and Congress
since the dark days of James Buchanan in
1888. There can be no doubt that the
country is weary of livery weary; and
If opportunity should offer would hurl 1t
from power by majorities such as the coun-
try has never known. Hitherto wars have
been regarded as the greatest of national
calamities. One year of Clevelandism has
| shown that the party which makes war
upon all the industries of a nation is more
| calamitous than an invading army

Labor, has snatched time enough from his
arduous duties of regulating the relation be-
tween capital and labor in the United States

Probably Mr.. Sovereign had better not eX-
haust himself devising plans for coloniz

the negroes can leave 1t if they wish TO,
but up to the present time they have not
shown any burning desire TO do so. They
seem to be satisfied to remain here and,
all things considered, they are getting along
reasonably well. Mr. Sovereign seems to
