tiE WILL REFUSE.
Grand Old Man" Gladstone Prefers to
Remain "A Commoner.

Mr.. Gladstone, having been sounded
as to whether he would be willing to
accept peerage from the crown in
honor Of the diamond celebration of her
majesty has replied in the negative,
declaring that lie prefers TO remain
commoner TO the end of his life and TO
be known until the day Of his death by
the name under which he has served
his country for more than 60 years. He
was already in parliament and minor
member Of the government prior to the
accession Of Queen Victoria TO the
throne.
At the same time he has intimated
that he would have NJ objection if the
queen were to confer an earldom upon
his grandson, the eldest boy Of his own
eldest SON, who died six years ago. This
grandson Of the Grand Old Man is now
l2-year-old lad, bears the name of Viii
liam and is preparing for Elton. He is
destined on his grandfather's death to
! inherit the whole Of the Hawarden
property, which, with its valuable col
| lieries, clay pits, etc, now yields an
! income Of $50, 900 year-that is to
say, quite sufficient to keep mp peer
age. He has asked that the latter may
take the form Of an earldom of Liver
| pool, in view of the latter having been
the city of his birth as we'll as the
home of his family for many genera
| tons.
Hawarden castle came TO Mr.. Glad
stone through his marriage. 1t is the
ancestral country seat Of the ancient
family of Glynne, and when Mrs. Glad
stones elder brother, the late Sir Ste
phen Glynne died as bachelor he left II
to his sister and TO her husband on the
condition that at the death of the Grand
! Old Alan il should pass to his eldest sor
or to the latter's heir i'll the male line. -
