ECHOES OF THE DAY.  "He is not a nati-re of Newcastle."' That is the g-rand condenvtation of Mr llii, the Unionist candidate, by the Daily Ne•N X. Perour London contemporary will iiiform us whethe.,:•:Mr Morley i a native of New:astle  -4)00 The mat heat, whict .has been killirg cattle, striking people down with sunstroke, aAti driving men and women to suicide in America and on Ulu Continent, appc.airs to have demended upon thi:t country. Saturday was a wat-ce day ; yesterday was hot. This morning it is Itloiling. Still, there it.; no need fur the alarm prmalent on the Continent, where the shade temp mature registered (in Berlin) on Saturday 89.6. That is tropicalieriough for arything. In the lartlepools to-I:14y the greatest degree of heat experienced was.:74:  We gaerer - from a circular issued t • the shipping community to-y that a slight .}.theration has taken place in% the West HartlepmA firm cif Herskind and Woods. Mr Jabez WMlds, owing, it ia-said, to ill-Laralth, retires frocz the partnership of the firm, which will in fntur ?.st be conducted by. the two remaining partners, Mr Fritz Herskind and his. nephew, Mr Peter Herskind. The firm will be carried on:uwier the style ol'Herskind & Co.,  -000  The English and American women who were unhoused by the tire at the Swiss villa.,e of Grindelwald; rather surprised the nat_res. While the Swiss women of. the village mere flying about terror-stricken, the English Lidies lined up avil'engaged wits the men in hat:ding buckets or- .water along to the burning buildings. Little incidents of this kind tend to cow:ince our continental neighbonrs• that England iii-not played out,yet by any mewls.  -00-- The reverts of the rioting that come from America contain a considerable amount ot tall talk. There is no doubt whatever of the seriousness of the labour :srisis, but the icha of the miners fighting a pitched battle with the militia is preposterous. There may be bloodshed, buttit will be in skirmishing and chance shooting, .not in a pitched battle. The Americans are no fonder of • celd steel than any other nation. We do not doubt,- that the militia officers are brave men; in fact, their , bravery on many an occasion has been, amply proved, but at the SAIEV time we should • have more respect for, them if they did not brag. G-bneral Carnes, when he commenced marching against- the miners, declared that he would get to Coal- Croak that night if he had to "wade through a. pool of blood.' rhe militia would then cheer lustily, • and the expression would get into the papers, and Ctileneral Carnes will be lionised by all the American women he meets. But there was no blood, at all to wade through. Onlia- approach the millers retired after a faint id:ix-flush in which eight men, 't is repffiled; ,wene Perhaps even those eight men woulj come to life-again if the reperters were not bent upon getting columns into the London papers. They are clever fighters in the Western States of -America. They uaderstand the -tee of the 'revolver so well that a crowd of them can fight for half an hour wAhout anybody geaing hurt.  -000 It seems a pity that the friends.tof Mr Farmer Atkinson, late M.P., should havA., allowed him to enter the field as a Parliamentary candidate at this moment. The unfortunate prominence into which this gentleman was, litrought during the last Session of Parliament,,, and his subsequent illness,. make it entremely unlikely that he will zaiceive any votes.whatever in his opposition to, Sir William Hatcourt at Derby, and all reasonable Unionists will approve of the conduct of the local Consepvative organisation in repudiating all connertion with his candi dature. He should have been better advised.  The braggers are vigoroualy defending thenselves against the attacks made upon their organisaaion in connection with the electionn. , Mr R. Mortimer sends a letter to the T•ines which brings Mr Lloyd-George, M.P., to bunk. Mr Lloyd-George stated at a public meacing that "a fund of £lOO,OOO had been spelt in corriKating the oloctorate," &c., &c. Mr Mortimer denies that any such stun was spent in the elections, or, indeed, that any ipecial sum was raised for electioneering purposes at all. The only expenditure which ruceeded the usual expenditure of the Brewers' Association this year was for printing, and he ciallenges Mr Lloyd - George to prove single case in vjich anyone conneewd with the organisAtion committed a breugh of the Corrupt Prnetiees Act. We await Mr LloydGeorge's reply with curiosity. Oourse it is absurd to suppose there is any corruption in. spending money for printing. IS there were,. , where would the United Kingdom Ailfance mud local temperance societies be ?, And yet it ! appears, when it comes to the proof, that issuUng literature is the only charge that can be broLght against the Brewers' Association, unleso., of course, Mr Furness is holding back some sensational information until he brings forward his , motion.  There is no better reading in this morning's papers than the interview between Mr John Morley and a deputation of trade unionists on the Eight Hours Question. Mr Morley had foemen worth his steel, but his readiness and knowledge of the aubjeut shone o.nt
