eLApsToNE,s GREAT POWER.
No Other Man of tho Century Has Welded
as Wide nm Influence

as Wide nm Influence.
Happy the man who can sit on the
fence and wait! Happy the politician
who is old enough to have gone through
all the turmoil of elcctioneering and is
not too old to find enjoyment as a
tloolzer-on! Happy the man smoking
the pipe of peace and listening to the
echoes of the fight and turning them to
the music of his own "reminiscences!
Mr.. Gladstone, says the Newcastle
Chronicle, finds it hard to sit still. lie
hears the trumpet call and the roll of
the drum and would gladly be in tho
contest once more, but the joints are
stiff and the eyes are min. He does
not hear so well as he did and he must
be content with the reports of the
fighting and a passing remark of COM
incubation or dissent.
There is something peculiarly
pathetic in the situation of Mr.. Glad
stone, still moved by the desire to fight
but without the power of physical inn
pulse. 1t might have been better for
the world had he confined his vast in
tellect to moral philosophy or to
abstruse theology, or had been priest
or even soldier, than to have put his
heart and sonl into politics. A soldier,
would he not have smittcn the enemy
hip and thigh? A priest, who could
have stood against his aggressive
theology? A philosopher, what subtle
theories he. would have launched
against the schools? Now that he is
old and still brave as lion, we can
only rejoice that he has done less harm
as political dictator than might have
been permitted to him had time re-
newed his lease of active life.
No man of our day has exercised
such fascination upon his followers
His personality was sufficient to i'm
press the Scotch into acquicscence with
his least practical schemes. The spell
OF his name and his remarkable individ-
uality withdrawn, Scotland gradually
assumes her normal characteristics It
was the same in England as in Scot
land. Mr.. Gladstone, not his policy,
was the handspring of his party sue
cess; and his opponents may be forgiven
for believing the desire to have the
same influence over the Irish brought
about his strange and sudden CONVEX
sion to home rule.
Anyhow, he is q remarkable man. a
statesman whom all parties are willing
to honor, n figure and a personality
that will always fill q deeply interest
ing chapter of British history, and q
scholar who will hold high place in
the esteem and respect of the learned
all the world over. While the new
lights OF statecraft are flashing upon
the horizon of general election
franght with tremendous issues to the
country, his lantern burns dimly, his
sun is setting, and if England to her
self prove truc," the popular statesman
will have reason to exercise the patience
that belongs to age and to philosophy
when the last echoes of the present
contest reach Hawardcn.
