There was a lively time in the Senate
yesterday over the passage OF House Dill
No. 81. by Mr.. Statesman. which approprl-
ates 5000 for the maintenance of travel
ing libraries. The bill was called up by
Senator Gray. who. warmly urged its pas
sage. saying the State librarian found these
outspoken In his opposition.

''and l don't care to give his name. that

The bill finally passed by vote of S5 to
3. In addition to the appropriation il pro-
vides a permanent Office room i'm the State
house for the travelling library department
or the State Library for courses of library
instruction and printed matter.
Just TO show that he is not always on
the side of the railroads, as had been
charged by Democratic senator, Senator
Gray got through a bill to prevent rail-
roads from charging more thln II per cent.

and the duty of obeying them Wesley's
change Of attitude was perfectly bewilder-
ing to some of his followers. for, at the
general election OF the previous year, he
had advised Bristol Methodists to vote for
the candidates who were in favor Of
reconciliation with America; and he had
urged his friends to procure and study a
pamphlet called "An Argument in Defence
Of the Exclusive Right Claimed by the
Colonies to Tax Themselves That cir
cumstance Wesley had forgotten. and when
1t was brought to his attention. he replied:
II believe did. but am now of another
mind" He declared hat his whole view
of the American question had been fundn-
mentally altered by a single perusal of
DR., Johnson's treatise. Wesley's candor
failed to disarm his opponents. The Calm
Address aroused tempest Of controversy,
and for several years the great preacher
was exposed to storms Of calumny and
abuse. He was furiously denounced as a
wolf In sleeps clothing. as Jesuit and a
Jacobite unmarked. A score OF lampoons
charged him with being actuated by the
vilest calculations OF self-advancement
The true explanation of Wesley's action is
that he was Tory, and like most English
men, was willing to stretch point in order
to support his party when its fortunes were
depressed and it's future looked dark.
Wesley was firmly convinced that the
Throne, and even the royal life, would be
in danger IL any fresh disasters occurred
abroad and II the ferment at home grew
hotter At such crisis he was irresstibly
impelled to rally in defence of his party
and his 6oyereipn and 40 II came To pass
that he brought himself to approve policy
which in public and in private he had been
accustomed severely to condemn.

that all the blood and all the guilt Of this
war must be charged to British. and not to

George Trevelyan recalls that John jay,

American historians have imperfectly
recognized the extent to which the war
was unpopular in the mother country.
Sir George Trevelyan devotes a chapter
to the subject. Throughout the first three
quarters OF the eighteenth century the
Clt; of London, whenever England was
engaged in war. had been centre OF war
Ike feeling. During the Seven Years
War tic corporation had supported Chat
ham witt enthusiasm. In 1875, on the
ctnor hand, the attempt to coerce Massa-
chusetts found city opinion sullen and
recatcitrart and that state of mind rapidly
developed into angry and determined
opposition. All the four Members of Par
lament for London voted steadily against
the war from first to last In the work
before us attention is directed to the sig
nificart fact that the funds always fell
after British defeats. and never very Wis
iblv recovered themselves in consequence
of British victory. In August 177t before
the Revolution began, the per cent. con-
sols stood at 50. month before the news
of the British victory on Long Island ar
rived in London they were at "a: Il fort
night after the receipt of that news they
were at So That was all the effect pro-
duced by complete rout of the Americans
which was hailed by courtiers at home
and English diplomats abroad as a most
reassuring and almost conclusive success
By October 1777, consols had fallen to Is. The
tidings of the capture Of Burgoyne brought
them down to TO- They fell, and fell, until
the capitulation Of Lord CORVALLIS reduced
them to 81 On the other hand when Lord
North resigned. consols rose 9 points on
the mere prospect of peaceful settlement
with the former Colonies. although England
was still at war all the world over, with
France with Spain and with Holland. The
author of this history submits that "the
silent testimony of the stocks, those au-
thentic witnesses, who never boast and never
fatter, unanswerably proves that the City
of London at no period shared with the
Court and the Cabinet in the deuson that
the Colonies could be subdued by arms"
It will be remembered that during the
recent South African war popular feeling
in England ran very high against SYM
pathizers with the Boer republics, Not
infrequently pro-Boer meetings were broken
up by mobs: There seem TO have been
no incidents Of the kind in England during
the Revolu' onary War. Sir George Trevel-
yan relates the story of disturbance which
took place in London on the reception Of
the news Of I,exinGt on, and which rather
tends to suggest that the idle and less
responsible section of the British population

We have been able to reproduce only a
small part Of the evidence brought forward
by Sir George Trevelyan TO show that
a majority OF the British people were op
posed 10 the attempt to coerce the Ameri-
can Colonies. In our opiniou all candid
readers OF his two volumes will acknowl
edge that he has proved his case It would
not be easy Ia overestimate the effect which
such demonst ration ought to have, and, ,
doubtless. will have. on the feeling with
which Americans will hereafter regard
