William Ewart Gladstone was for
thirty years the typical representative
business man OF England-the one
man whose talent for affairs was most
available and most practical - who
stood most nearly and most accurately
poised in the very center OF British
thought, political, religious aud lit
erary, and whom 10 know, therefore
was TO know the educated British
mind in It's collective strength and
purpose. The element called genius
would have marred the thorough com
mon sense which fitted Gladstone for
the practical work Of guiding a nation
OF shoplSeepers who were willing TO
be just within proper limits, and 30
far as II could be made TO appear that
justice would pay a dividend or profit
10 English landholders, manufac-
turers, traders and ship-owners. The
scholarship Of oxford, combined In
Gladstone with the tF1diug instincts
OF Liverpool and Lancashire, the or
thOdoNy Of the venerable university
and the Church of England, was
mellowed IN him ty being ju-
dieiously blended with a for
tune acquired through estates in
the West Indies, aud with the nice
moral determinations which are nat
ural TO a person who is himselti in some
sort one Of most finished products Of
slave labor. These circumstances TO-
gether with his inheritance Of a mod
erato estate of some 1000 English
acres. and OF good blood, which, thour .
never previously made illustrious by
shining talent, had coursed through
the veins OF a long line Of very respect.

the army and navy are almost at the

found many echoes in influential quar-
ters, and has created q decided sensa-
ton.
In consequence OF the published
statement of General Merritt that he
will not go to the Philippines with

Alger has ordered a court OF inquiry.

II is now claimed that the purpose i'm
sending Merritt, who is regarded as

NFw YoEK, May 20-A cabinet
meeting was held yesterday FOR the
purpose OF discussing the question OF
press censorship, the prctensc being
that the papers have and are liable TO
continue TO divulge secrets which arc
Of great value TO the enemy in times
like these. This is the nominal,
though not the actual, reason which
has instigated the movement for a
censorship of the press. The papers
have shown with great particularly
that the so-callcd peace party has
hampered the department at every
turn, TO Spains advantage, which
in this way has gained time
that has been of inestimablc
value 20 it i'm maturing its plans.
Those who have been affected bv
these criticisms arc the ones who are
now most anxious for the establish
mcnt OF a press censorship. The same
people have prevented relief from
being sent to Dewey until now, when
il is almost, il not quitc too late to do
the expected good. Spain has now a
better chance than ever OF getting to
the Philippines ahead Of the American
relief expedition. There is general
realization that much, il not all, of
this delay has been due TO the infu-
enccs Of the American hol dcrs OF
Spanish bonds -- prominent among
whom is John d. Rockefeller. II the

A caucus OF the Democrats OF the
house may be held this week fer the
purpose OF discussing the joint resou-
tion providing for the annexation Of
Hawaii, which has been favorably re-
ported TO the house and deciding
upon the advisability OF making it a
party question. There are number
OF Democrats i'm the house who are op
posed to aonexation. lt is the same
in the senate, but the Democrats Of
the latter body long ago decided not
TO make annexation p party question,
and the chances are that the same
course will be followed in the house.
To attempt 10 do otherwise would be
to compel those Democrats who favor
annexation TO bolt the action OF the
par caucus. IL is, Of course, in the
power OF a majority OF the Democrats
in the house TO make opposition TO
annexation party question, but it is
not i'm their power TO control Demo-
Gratis who have committed themselves
to annexation. There was no sign
that the Democratic party as who c
endorsed President Cleveland's anti.
annexation policy; on the contrary,
there were many signs OF opposition
thereto. II there ever was a time that
opposition TO the annexation Of
Hawaii could wisely have been made
party policy, it has long ago passed.
