THE LATE MR. COBDEN AND HIS DISCIPLES.  We (Times) regret that we cannot congratulate the Cobden Club on the honour they pay their master, nor on the degree of illumination they pour out on tl,e world. A few pamphlets of unequal merit have recently served to redeem the association from the charge of utter fruitlessness, but it 'must still remain a question whether the good it produces is sufficient to :justify its continued existence or to warrant a belief that it will endure The ins,itution of a personal cult is always hazardous, for the circumstances of the world change, and new questions arise which were never studied by the originator of the society, and the disciples of the dead teacher go on building up his tomb in' steal of giving up their mind, as he would have done, to he solution of the last problems practical life presses on the attention of men. Contrast the fresh, eager, and active mind of Cobden, always 'moving ahead of his fellows, transparontly candid and equally intelligent and courageous, ith this band who call themselves by his name because they have get hold of some of his phrases. If we give them credit for entire mastery of his doctrine, we cannot detect the movement and energy of life which prove the inheritance of his spirit. The particular truth., for which Cobden struggled will not cease to be accepted. but it is certain that thoy will lose their relative impovanee by becoming commonplace, and to be ceatent to rest in them is to be left behind in the progress of political speculation. Already the time is at hand when it is necessary to !Ines beyond Cobden f ACP would make ourselves worthy of claiming a::.nity with him.
