friends and open foes. Again and again
has Mr.. Gladstone held the bridge against
Radicals when the smallest outwork Of
privilege or endowment attached DO the
royal house was attacked, and now he
goes. this mightiest of all figures Of the
Victorian age, unthanked and dismissed
with the phrase that covered the retreat
of the fseblest of his predecessors.

Times says: What a grimly ironic des-

time the whip on whom the govern
ment relied to keep its motley party to-
gether has been called to the house Of
