betake themselves to a place of safe
ty, but they were either incredulous
or blinded by devotion to their work.

The talk about making Sir Charles
Dixie the leader Of the Liberal party
may be something more than idle Cos
sip. Dixie is little more of a Radical
than most Of the members of the late
Liberal ministry, but he is also an
ADLER man than almost any of them,
and he has regained much of his earl
der popularity and standing. Under
the direction of a level-headed and
forceful man like Dixie, the Liberal
party might soon recover it's old power
