Among the many incidents mentIonea
in the obituary notices OF the late Lore
James OF Hereford, one Of the most
popular and respected figures in Eng.
lish life. and more especially in Lon
don. during the last nifty years. no
reference ina | can find was made to
the TACT that he really made Herbert
Asquith, the present Prime Minister.
In 1888 Herbert Asquith was "devtiling'
Tor Sir Henry James. then Attorney
General. Gladstone. who was Prime
Minister at the time, was anxious to
fulnl mis- promise of sui-
frage to the agricultural aborer. AS
a preliminary, 1t was necessary to
draw up a conspectus of all existing
franchises. and tenures which con-
hrmcd the franchise. Sir Henry James
delegated this work 10 Agquith. whose
memoir on the subject was so good
that Sir henry submitted IL to Glad
stone. The latter thought very highly
quaintance OF the young harrister who
had written IT, eventually b~estowing
upon him the Secfctaryship of state
for the home Department, when he
formed the administration in 1892.
Lord James. who as every one knows
declined the offer of the iord high
chancellorshtp, with Its salary of S50,-
600 a year, and its subsequent pension
of $4,000 a year for the balance OF
his life, rather than yield to Glad
stones persuasion about Irish homs
rule. owed his title of Lord James Of
Hereford to the fact that when al
Cheltenham College he was always
known as Hereford lanes" There
were several boys of the name OF
James in the school, but he was this
only one who hailed from the county
of Hereford, where his father was in
practice as a physician. He always
retained to the last a very warm af-
lection for his alma mater, which he
was the first to join on its opening, and
when raised to the House of Lords.
he determined to revive, in q way, in
his title, the sohriquet by which he
had been known at school.
