THE CRITIC CRITICISED. • "Those who touch pitch are themselves defiled. Mr. Cobb, M.P., has never been very choice in his use of language. Ile was at least true to the ordinary standards of English public, life until lie became the intimate associate of the men who have fattenei upon the savings of IrianAmerican servant girls, and gloated over the miseries or incited the murders of honest people. Of Mr. Cobb's character now we leave any intelligent reader to judge from the report published in our issue to-day of a meeting in the Rugby Division which he addressed on Saturday. It is a noble specimen of the latter-day Gledstonisn oratory. . . . . He knows—no man better —that Lord Randolph Churchill has been in e. precarious condition of health for months past, and is only sticking- to his ditties in Parliament from a stern tense of obligation in this grave national crisis. He knoWs that the unfortunate member for South Paddington suffers from a temporary paralysis of the throat, which makes public speaking an intensely panful and exhausting operation, and lays him open to tbe brutal jibes of the ignorant and the suspicions. Yet Mr. Cobb, M.P., did not hesitate to reple his audience . . . with a description of the. "shrunken frame " and wrecked voice and with assurances that Lord Randolph will never again be a political force. Why, if there were nothing left but his name the plucky and patriotic statesman who has determined to fight and win a snit at Bradford would be worth any score of truculent Cobbs gloadng over the pains of a wounded opponent! For Mr. Chamberlain, however, the choicest expletives in the Cobbite vocabulary were carefully preserved. . . . The member fcrf the Rugby division Mt that be need not yield to any Irishman in the matter of blackguardly invective. We call special attention to the speech because it shows something of the debasement of political character which has resulted from intimate sasoolation with the Irish mercenaries who have CHadstonians in their claws. There is no wit in Mr. Clobb'd speech, it is simply the quintessence of vulgar vitaminSion, worthy the pupil of a party which called lard Spencer a murderer, and prefixed Bloody to Mr. Balfour's name. The character of the Mak members is • matter of common knowledge, and the ferocious bitterness of their utterances seed excite no comment, but surely the exhibition made st the Gladstonien demonstration of Saturday will give pause to some who have been inolined to look telerantly upon the Anglo-Irish Home Bale Milano*.
