MR T. BLAKE'S CAN DID A-TURE.
MR T. BLAKE'S CAN DID A- TURE. LIBERAL MEETING AT LONGHOPE. On Monday evening a meeting in support of Mr T. Blake's candidature for the Forest of Dean was held in the Zion Baptist Chapel, Longhope, under the auspices of the Liberal Association for the district. The building was crammed to its utmost capacity. Air T. Robinson, the selected Liberal candidate for Gloucester, occupied the chair, and he was supported by Mr Blake, Mr J. J. Seekings (Gloucester), Mr Samson J. Holder (Newent), and the Rev. G. T. Gordon. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, expressed his pleasure in presiding over such a large gathering, and said he hoped before they separated they would pledge themselves to use their utmost endeavours to return their chosen representative to Parliament. (Cheers.) Mr Blake, he said, was not an untried man. He had fought three contested elections, and at last suc- ceeded in wresting tne Tory pocket borough from the nominee of Lord Bateman, the Lord-Lieu- tenant for Herefordshire. They all remembered with what ability he discharged the obligations which that position imposed upon him. He was ready to repeat those labours, and he (Mr Robinson) felt sure the Foresters would not lose the opportunity within their grasp of returning such a worthy man to represent them in the new Parliament. (Cheers.) Mr BLAKE, who was very cordially received, remarked that he was pleased to have an oppor- tunity of addressing them. He pointed out that the people would in the future have the power of making the laws of the land. It would be for them to send men to Parliament who when there would act just as though the electors themselves were there. They had not yet been favoured with the views of the Tory candidate, but when be did appear, then the electors could compare notes and act accordingly. If they decided to support tbe Tory candidate, let them see that he was thorough in his policy, but if they deter- mined to support himself he would, as he had set forth, support all measures which conferred the greatest good upon the greatest number. (Cheers.) Having alluded at considerable length to the measures which he considered should be dealt with in the new parliament, principally the reform of the House of Lords and the entire abolition of hereditary legislators, and the amendment of the standing orders and procedure in the House of Commons. Mr Blake referred to the recent remarkable utterance of Mr Parnell. If Mr Parnell was returned to the house with 80 followers, as he said would be the case, it was of immense importance to the nation at large that the Liberal party should be returned in such numbers as would place them in a position of. independence either of the support or opposition of that body. (Cheers.) In the future the obstructive tactics of the Irish would not be tolerated as it had been in the past; good legislation would not be delayed by the action of a clique. (Cheers.) Mr J. J. SKKKINGSproposed, and MrS. HOLDER seconded, "That this meeting desires to express its tuliest confidence in Mr T. Blake, the selected candiduto oi the Liberal Hundred for tho Forest of ÙI,ci:1 Division of Gloucestershire, and to assure him of its hearty support in the forthcoming eh:ct I resolution was carried amid great enthu- siasm. R -«><'ing to a vote thanking him for his address, Mr dLAKE said the resolution or a similarly worded one had been put at every meeting he had attended, and, so far, not a single band had been raised against it. (Cheers.) He trusted when the Tory candidate came that way the chapel would be lent if he desired it, and that he would be heard as patiently as they had listened to himself. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings, 6S

WHAT the PRESS say :— W Norwich Argus, Nov. 3rd, medicine has more surely stood the test of time than Dr. SCOTTS BILIOUS and LIVER PILLS, and those who have suf- fered from Liver Complaints, and have appealed to this remedy, have never done so in vain. We have heard of numerous instances where this physic has proved a panacea. And we cannot wonder that it should be so firmly be. lieved in. T^THAT the CHEMISTS say v T Messrs Ri berts and Sons write:- Your pills have a steady sale; they give satisfaction, and are fully what they are represented to be.

You ara quite at liberty to use this, from an officer in her Majesty's service, but I do not wish to advertise my name, which I give as a guarantee of a genuine testimonial. DR.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1885. NO MORE WHIGGERY ON ANY TERMS! IF the country is not to be deluged with speeches like that which was delivered the other night by Lord HARTINGTON, the people must speak out more plainly and more emphatically than they have yet done. Lord HARTINGTON and others of his class are afflicted with an infirmity which may be described as political deafness. It takes a good deal of noise to make them hear, and to awake them from idle dreams. 1 f the Whig element in the Liberal party think silence on all exciting topics to be golden, they stand alone in their opinion. We hope that Lord HARTINGTON is not one of those who fancy that the owners of property alone are deeply interested in the land laws. He referred to his own case last Saturday as if the subject were one which concerned him much more than the generality of the public, because of his ancestral estates. It may be very natural for a great landowner to take this view, but in point of fact every person, however poor, has a deep and living interest in the land laws. To the man who does not own so much as a square foot of land these laws are as important as to the owner of many square miles of real estate. We sup- pose it will be generally admitted that the question of the price of bread or of butchers' meat is quite as important to the poor man as to the rich. We may go a great way further than this, because it is much more important to the former than to the latter. The rich man is sure of his food, whatever he may pay for it, whereas the poor man has to consider how far he can do without it. From a selfish point of view the land question must be one of supreme hard- ship to those who own land. Many of them will be reluctant even to sell. Whether their ancestors came by it honour- ably or dishonourably, by purchase or by favour, the present possessors have been brought up to look upon it as their own, to be dealt with according to their own plea- sure. Many of them have had the rights of property repeated in their ears so frequently that they may possibly have forgotten that there are any other rights acknowledged by the State. For years and years we have heard little else at our political meetings than the rights of landlords. So far as tenants are concerned, one might imagine that they have 110 rights whatever, or at least, that any they have are such as have been granted to them in the form of per- quisites. We are afraid that Lord HARTING- TON has not gone much beyond this point, though in his speech at Waterfoot he made some allusion to the duties of land- il owners. We are glad to think that the noble marquis has reached this stage, even if he has got no further on in his political march. Some of his colleagues may not have reached even this length. There is one observation, however, which we may make with regard to it-the duties of land- owners have so long been limited to the re- ceiving of rents and the making of contracts to their own advantage that it must be some- thing like a new experiment to many of them to have to deal with duties which involve a considerable amount of sacrifice. The new cry must be the rights of tenants." The next Parliament oug[ht to be a tenants' Parliament. The landlords have had a long innings, and it will be well for this country if the electors take care to bowl them out at the next election. We do not wish to displace them all, but we should certainly like to be sure of having the interests of the tenants so well represented as to secure for tenants some of those rights which they will never obtain until they make them- selves strong enough as a party in the House of Commons to demand them. Some of the newspapers have been puffing up Lord HARTINGTON for boldly express- ing his dissent from the reforms on which Mr CHAMBERLAIN insists, and, no doubt, this will be glad tidings to all half- hearted Liberals. We do not wish to rob such persons of whatever enjoyment they may be able to suck out of it. But, unless we are very much mistaken, the same tidings will be received with anything but 1 pleasure by the Liberal party generally. We will even venture so far as to pre- dict that, unless a promise of better things is held out to the country before the general election, that election will be a disaster. A man would need to be a fool before he would attempt to kindle enthu siasm among the Radicals of Wales or England by setting Lord HARTINGTON'S speech before them as an inducement to vote for a Liberal candidate. The best result he could hope for wculd be to set his audience II asleep. It is not for vague generalities that the working classes of this country are ) going i-o the poll in November. They hope tc make some progress beyond the point already reached, and they may even listen to the gushing promises of Lord RANDOLPH CHURCHILL before they will take the trouble to vote for men like the Marquis of HAR- TINGTON, who seem to think that because the young colt of Toryism promises too much to be relied upon they will succeed by promising nothing whatever. The time, we believe, has come for the supporters of Mr CHAMBERLAIN to make it clear beyond all doubt that when, unfortu- nately for us all, Mr GLADSTONE will no longer be our leader, the Liberal party will not retrace their steps so as to follow Lord HARTINGTON. There are many believers in the divine right of the Whig party, but unless we have entirely mistaken the political sentiment of the great majority of Liberal electors, the few Whigs still remaining will very soon discover that they have not even a human right to manage and control. They have had their day. They are a dynasty effete and exhausted. The country has been much indebted to them, and is always proud to point to the monuments of their industry, patriotism, and perseverance. But their work is done. With the next election we must enter upon a new period in our I history as a people, and if Lord HARTINGTON cannot step down upon the new platform with grace and dignity, but will prefer cleaving to the good old times, he must be allowed to take his departure, though deeply regretted by nearly all his country- men. We must make progress, lag behind who will.
SOUiH WALES NOTES.
SOUiH WALES NOTES. THE announcement that matters are so far progressed with the Severn Tunnel as that the first train will probably be able to run through during the present week will be received with an immense feeling of plea- sure by all those who know the miseries and discomforts of the present journey to Bristol. Presumably the final arrangements as to the formal opening of the tunnel for traffic will largely depend upon the results of this investigation, and Sir Daniel Gooch will take with him into the tunnel all the good wishes of those who have to travel much to Bristol. The advantages of the shortened route to South Wales will be more- over so many that the result of the forth- coming visit of the chairman of the Great Western Company will be anxiously awaited, to say nothing of the many congratulations which all classes are waiting to shower upon those whose skill, energy, and enterprise have combined to accomplish one of the greatest of those great engineering feats which in modern times have been carried But in England. THE World has fallen foul of the Aberdare Eisteddfod, and the editor has put one of his staff to say what he can to disparage it. Nothing pleases the writer, and he goes slap dash at everything without, indeed, knowing anything of what he writes. He seems to have run across an inflated report of the proceedings, and to have laid the blame of the pompous style of the writer to the debit of the eisteddfod. One thing is certainly evident from the criticism—that the critic was not present at the eisteddfod. A few ill-natured sneers are let off, chiefly emanating from the opinion formed on the composition of some Welsh reporter, and as there is nothing easier than to sneer, the tirade is kept up. The names of many Welshmen who have been celebrated are simply passed over by the writer, whose selection of the foremost men of the Principality pretty clearly in- dicates that his knowledge of Wales and the Welsh is limited to that of the usual Saxon. From the manner in which he speaks of Mr J. C. Parkinson as the president seems to shew that the proceedings of one day were thought sufficient to inspire this 1 gifted and would-be satirical writer. To gibe at the fact" that many colliers write Welsh rhymes" hardly comes with grace from a critic the colliers of whose nationality generally write nothing at all; while to add that the original thought to be found in them re- quires the aid of a powerful imagination to perceive it may not ill-naturedly, and certainly not unnaturally, be taken to mean simply that the writer does not understand Welsh. IT is, however, nothing new for Welsh institutions to be entirely misrepresented and most unjustly reviled by pressmen in other parts of the kingdom who think themselves smart paragraphias. Any one who had been at the eisteddfod—granted, of course, that there were no special cause for spleen—would never write in the style which the World has adopted. To describe it as an institution, innocent and praise- worthy in itself, but made ridiculous by the antics of these so-called bards and adju- dicators who figure in it," is to use terms which are in themselves simply .C word- antics" ridiculous in their misapplication. What the writer conceives the antics of the adjudicators" to be I do not pretend to know, nor, indeed, is it a matter of conse- quence. It is the fashion with some classes to decry everything that is Welsh, and as the writer probably thinks he can score a point for smartness among those who will not be able to detect his ignorance, he is hardly worth following up. To libel a people is, no doubt, a little enough matter for those whose main sustenance is derived from the tainted sources of this kind of composition. A CURIOUS tale has reached me in reference to the experiences of some cabmen from Cardiff in connection with the eisteddfod. Thinking that there might be plenty of busi- ness during the week, some 15 cabmen went to Aberdare. They say that they met with every possible opposition, first in regard to stabling, and secondly in the matter of licence. No sooner had the first difficulty been surmounted than the second arose, and proving too much for them, they had to return to Cardiff, having made a rather serious loss. There was none too much accommodation at Aberdare during the week, and on the wet days there would, I should think, have been some employ- ment for the conveyances. The authorities of the town might, therefore, have taken a different course without, perhaps, hurting the interests of the townspeople. At the same time the men should have made some enquiries before going to the town. Nothing would have been easier than this, and both loss and disappointment would have been avoided. THE question of the night charges at the Newport Docks for the shipping of coals has been raised times without number, and many and great have been the complaints uttered in regard to them. There is, I think, no question that they are a hindrance to the progress of the port, and there is a general agreement that every possible means should be adopted to get rid of them. The matter came up again at the last meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, and the secretary reported that the request had been sent to Sir George Elliot to receive a deputation on the subject, and that a reply had been received simply promising that the letter should be laid before him on his return from the Continent. As he has just been in England, and was able to preside at a meeting of the Aberdare Eisteddfod, and to deliver a public address to a large meeting in another part of the Kingdom, it would hardly have been very difficult to answer a question involving the interests of a large town. With some people, indeed, convenience is better read mclination. I SPOKE yesterday on some points of com- parison instituted between the school boards of Cardiff and Newport; there are one or two matters in regard to Swansea which I think have escaped attention. The Swansea School Board, as every one knows who has watched the course of their proceedings, can lay little claim to knowledge of business routine, or, at any rate, to a practice of it. Their meetings are usually wordy, warm, and unbusinesslike to a degree that is simply deplorable. One can- not therefore be surprised if the results are not ot the highest character. Mr Monro, her Majesty's inspector, in the report, gives them credit for activity in trying to make up for deficiency of accommodation, but says that" in some respects the modus operandi of the board for the past seems to have been neither economical nor reasonable." There have been, however, great difficulties, owing to so many of the schools having been originally built too small. It is, however, good to see that praise is accorded for the increased attendance, which is attributed io the vigilance of the officers, and in great measure to the establishment of the truant school.
NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD OF WALES.
NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD OF WALES. A meeting of the Aberdare Eisteddfod Finance Committee was held at Aberdare on Monday night, Mr D. Davies presiding. Mr Acomb, treasurer, paid the officials, and made an en- couraging statement as to the financial prospects of the recent meetings. Although several sub- scriptions had not yet come in, he said there was every reason to believe that there would be a credit balance left in hand. We understand that Mr John Thomas, one of the musical adju- dicators, recommends the committee to publish the anthem of Mr J. H. Roberts, Carnarvon, which took the prize of ten guineas, and he suggests that it might be brought out at the same time aud in conjunction with the string quartette which it has been arranged to publish. A SEVERE CRITICISM. The late Eisteddfod held at Aberdare furnishes (says the World) another instance of the amount of flattery which certain classes in Wales will swallow, for which educated men who ought to know better are to some extent responsible. Here is an old institution, innocent and praise- wor hy in itself, made ridiculous by the antics of those so-called bards and adjudicators who figure in it. Every Welsh sprat is magnified into a mackerel, every minnow into a veritable Triton. A singer like Eos Morlais, who takes his name from an unfinished castle which was blown down some years ago, is called the first tenor of the age by a Church dignitary who ought to know, and does know, better. Gibson, who was born in Conway of Scotch parents, is claimed as a Welsh sculptor, while the late Penry Williams is placed among the first painters of the age. The Welsh reporter on these occasions loses his reason, and talks of "a teeming halo of affinities," "the Scylla and CharylJdis of commercial enterprise," and tells us that the Welsh, with its mellifluous metre, stumbles over S&xon rocks of rhetoric," whatever that may mean. The eisteddfod (which simply means a sitting or session) in it ancient days was devoted to competitions in music and poetry. No doubt the Welsh people have a talent for music, especially in the form of choral singing; but as for composition, the late Brinley Richards is the only man of mark they have produced. Dr. Parry, of Swansea, has composed an oratorio and an opera, the latter of which brings forcibly to mind certain melodies we have heard before. In poetry Taliesin and Dafydd ap Gwilym stand in the front rank, while a host of smaller fry come a long way behind. Many colliers and ironworkers write Welsh rhymes but the original thought to be found in them requires the aid of a powerful imagination to perceive it. Professor Masson once said that there were 200,000 poetasters in the manses of Scotland, and there are as many in Waleit. in proportion to its popula- tion. As for pictorial art, there is an exhibition open now at University College, Cardiff, where you can any day have the whole suite of rooms to yourself. Punch, many years ago, contained a picture of the outside of the Haymarket Theatre, with a board, on which was printed, Charles Kean as Hamlet to-night—not worth a rush The good people of Wales hold this exhibition in about the same esteem. A few months ago a similar exhibition was held at Pennard House, Swansea, to which the charge for admission was one penny but even that small sum would not attract the people. Only 35 catalogues were sold during the several weary months it was open. The love of oratory in Wales is shown by 'the fact that a constant buzz is kept up during the whole of the president's address; and sometimes the noise of the people is so great that even those on the platform do not hear a word. They cheer "such men as Lord Aberdare and Sir George Elliot, for their own sakes, knowing them to be liberal-minded gentlemen and hearty good fellows but they do not care to hear their speeches upon the past and present glories of the Cymric race. The president, Mr Parkinson, who made a very favourable impres- sion, spoke most sensibly, as well as boldly, when he said, "These eisteddfodau would act in- juriously if they tightened the bonds of a narrow provincialism, or even if they glorified the past to the detriment of the present."
THE IRON AND STEEL INSTITUTE.
THE IRON AND STEEL INSTITUTE. MEETING AT GLASGOW. The autumnal meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute opened on Tuesday at Glasgow. There was a numerous muster of members in the corporation galleries, Sauchiehall-street, where they were formally welcomed to Glasgow, on behalf of the corporation, by Baillie BERTRAM. This gentleman explained that the Lord Provost would have held the reception in person if be had not gone to Balmoial to present an address of congratulation to her Majesty on the occasion of the marriage of Princess Beatrice. He expressed regret that the industries of the city at the present time were not in so flourishing a condition as could have been wished, and could not, therefore, be seen to great advantage. Especially was this the case with regard to the large shipbuilding and engineering yards on the Clyde. It was to be hoped that the meeting would contribute directly or indirectly to the revival of trade throughout the country, and that the existing depression would pass away. The Earl of GLASGOW likewise extended a hearty welcome to the members on behalf of the country outside of Glasgow. He could only hope that a great future was in store for an institute which bad done so much for the iron and steel trades. Before the members of the institute again had occasion to visit Glasgow he trusted much progress would be made in the scientific economy of a mighty industry, and that its operations would once more be attended by prosperity. The chair was then taken by Dr PERCY, pre- sident ot the institution, who in the course of his opening address alluded to the important posi- tion occupied by Glasgow in the manufacture of iron and steel. The existing depression in the trade he attributed to the enormous means they had at their command of overproducing. Thus a few years ago they had no steel in Scotland now they had probably the most important works in the kingdom. What was to be done to remedy the existing state of things? Either they mnst increase consumption or decrease production. One of these two things was inevitable, and he must leave it to the steel and iron masters to say which to determine. In conclusion be thanked the citizens of Glasgow for the hearty welcome accorded to the members of the institute, and expressed the belief that the meeting would be one of the most successful and important in the annals of this institution. add iron and steel institute The first paper was read by Mr F. J. ROWAN, of Glasgow, who dealt with the iron trade of Scotland in its historical, statistical, and general aspects. The earliest intimation of Scottish iron- making was contained in an Act of the Scottish Parliament in 1686. The total make of pig-iron in Scotland had risen from 37,000 tons in 1830 to over 1,200,000 tons in 1870. The annual produc- tion of pig-iron per furnace has risen from 1,600 tons in 1826 to 5,053 tons in 1845. There had also been a steady reduction in the amount of coal used to produce a ton of pig-iron. He hoped more prosperous times would soon appear to reward and still further stimulate the energy and ability to be found in hI1 branches of the iron trade of Scotland. No discussion followed the reading of the paper. After this Mr JAMES RILEY, of the Steel Com- pany of Scotland, read a paper on "The Rise and Progress of the Scotch Steel Trade." In the course of his interesting paper, Mr Riley mentioned that up to 1879 the Steel Company were the sole manu- facturers of steel in Scotland. Their success brought other competitors into the field, and now there were 73 furnaces for the making of steel. The development in the production of steel had been large and constant in Scotland. At the present time their mild steel was being used for castings in the construction of an immense block of warehouses in London. For this purpose 800,000 tons were required. It was being used in a thousand forms they never ■ought of at one time, and he anticipated that its extended application would create a sufficient demand to keep their works fully occupied with business os a fairly remunerative character. Sir Henry Bessemer was amongst thespeakeis in the discussion that followed. A cordial vote of thanks was accorded at the close to Mr Riley. After luncheon a party of excursionists visited Thallside and Motherwell Steel Works, the Gartsherrie and Summerlee Iron Works at Coat- bridge, the Caller, Mossend, and Langloan Iron Works, and the Ear nock Colliery, near Hamilton.

LONDON, Tuesday ight. Mr Gladstone has left the Sunbeam, and is once more upon British soil. This is the most important item in this evening's budget of news, for although the ex-Premier has not yet indicated that he regards his holi- day as at an end, the fact that he I is once more among us will stimulate the hope that it will not be long before his voice will again be heard as leader of the Liberal party. Even if he does not feel able as yet to undergo the fatigue of speaking in public, there are other ways in which he can com- municate his sentiments to his countrymen, and one of these he is soon likely to take. We are now within two months of the open- ing of the polls, and it is not a day too early for the Liberal leaders to take counsel together as to the lines upon which the battle should be fought. There is no doubt of success if the party is united, and the party can only be united if the leaders show a solid front. The struggle will in any case be a severe one, and the Liberals will be heavily handicapped if their chiefs do not soon speak out, and with a determined voice. There is a pronouncement in the Liberal morning paper of Birmingham to-day which may have important results. I mentioned yesterday that there was a feeling among advanced politicians that Lord Hartington's attitude towards land reform, as exhibited in his speech at Waterfoot on Saturday, would bear more precise definition, and this morning there is published the clearest confirmation of this which it is possible to have. The Birmingham Daily Fost gives, not in the form of a leader, but as a special article to which particular prominence is assigned, an estimate of the relations likely to exist between Lord Hartington and the Radical party, and from the manner in which the subject is dealt with outsiders may fairly be excused for believing that that particular leader of the Radicals, whose home adjoins Birmingham, has afforded more than a hint regarding its contents. Under the present circumstances it is important to know how Mr Chamberlain is prepared to deal with the views of moderate Liberals on the land question, and not much room will be left for doubt after this article is studied. In the manifesto which Mr Chamberlain has caused to be published to-day there is nothing of an irreconcileable character, while there is much which will command ready acceptance at the hands of advanced Liberals. When he speaks at Warrington on this day week he may be expected to develope his views, and a more precise statement of them will be hailed with interest, even by those who may not agree with the position taken up. From this article, as well as from other signs which are daily increasing, it would seem as if the land question would be the most prominent plank in the Liberal plat- form at the next election; It is drawing more attention than disestablishment, which is very unlikely to be a test question for the present, and Mr Parnell has in advance done much to discredit any raising of local govern- ment into a prominent cry by his uncompromi- sing declaration against any form of it which could find acceptance at the hands of the English people. Furthermore, the admission of the labourers within the electoral pale has forced agricultural matters to the fore, and of all questions which touch town and country together, that of the land is most important. The appointment of Sir Matthew Ridley to the Financial Secretaryship of the Treasury, will do much to soothe the feelings of the worthy Northumbrian baronet which were much ruffled when the Ministry was formed. Having held office under Lord Beaconsfield, Sir Matthew looked upon himself as certain to be chosen in the new Government, and when popular rumours marked him out for the Chief Secretaryship for Ireland, there seemed nothing improbable in the appointment. But Sir Wm. Dyke, who had thrown up the place of chief Tory, Whip after the last dissolution, because of his annoyance at the turn things had taken, had to be provided for, and Sir Matthew, when the secretaryship seemed almost within his grasp, was left out in the cold. He was chagrined, and perhaps rightly so, but Lord Salisbury has now found an oppor- tunity to place a plaister on the wound, and all the wrongs of the past have been forgiven. A glance at the shops of those in London who are "licensed to deal in game," con- firms the reports which have been tele- graphed from all parts of the country, testifying to the favourable opening of partridge shooting. The coveys are almost everywhere reported to be large and the young birds to be strong on the wing, while disease is gratifyingly absent. The weather assisted to make sportsmen comfortable, and the first" of this year will be remembered in a good many country houses as one of the most enjoyable that has for some time been seen. At last the Committee of the Trinity House have come to their decision and have published their award. It was the question of light, a question which for the streets of London has been under trial for an equally long time, and as to which as yet no abso- lutely definite conclusion has been arrived at. The lighthouae qnestion was even more com- plicated than that of the street lamps. It was a question not between two but be- tween three. There was oil, and there was gas, and there was electricity. The Trinity Brethren seem to have been very much influenced by the decision of France. Uniformity was much to be de- sired. At all the French ports they now have or will shortly have the electric light, and for that illuminant the committee have decided. Your readers will remember how, a little time ago, there was a great deal of unpleasant correspondence on this question, Professor Tyndall advocating the claims of a special light which bore the name of its inventor, Mr Wigham. The committee now try to be more complimen- tary to Mr Wigham. They bear testimony to the excellence of his light, which may now be seen on the Hill of Howth, at the entrance of Dublin Bay. They consider its merits unquestionable, but decide for elec- tricity. The British Museum bought, a little time ago, a very interesting crayon portrait of Edmund Waller, the poet. The museum is rich in these kind of treasures, so rich that it has been very liberal in parting with them to other national institu- tions, of course as loans. I hear that an effort will be made to get this portrait for the National Portrait Gallery, an institution the existence of which Londoners had almost forgotten till it was lately in danger of destruction. I believe next to the Por- trait Gallery the institution which we seem least to value is our Natural History Museum, daily open and daily deserted.

LORD HARTINGTON'S ! SPEECH.…
LORD HARTINGTON'S SPEECH. 1 ITS EFFECT UPON THE RADICAL PARTY. | ULTIMATUM TO THE MODERATES. The Birmingham Daily Fost of yesterday \1 gives prominence to the following, which is evidently written under the inspiration of Mr Chamberlain:- The speech of Lord Hartington, delivered ill Lancashire on Saturday, will clear the air of many fancies and heresies, and will ensure the unity of the Liberal party, under moderate" leadership, and upon thebasis of political sobriety, theoretical and practical. That, we were told on Monday, by various authorities in journalism, will be the effect of the con- clusions declared and the policy indicated by the leader of the Whig section of the party. Our own information of the probable—we might almost say the inevitable—effect of Lord Hartington's speech, differs widely from ths estimate we have just stated. So far as we have the means of knowing—and we may say frankly that we do not speak in this matter without knowledge—Lord Hartington's speech, that is if it is to be accepted without qualification or reserve, is much more likely to disintegrate than to consolidate Liberal union. Lord Hartington protests against, certain proposals, which he enumerates, being accepted as articles of tbe Liberal ffiith until they have been subjected "to much more exhaustive discussion" than they have yet- received. It is to be understood that the measures of social reform advocated by what we. may call the Radical members of the late Government are to be excluded from the programme with which the Liberal party is going before the electors ? Lord Har- tington seems to say so— or at least to say that the Whig section of the party desires to exclude them. We doubt if he really means this; but suppose lie does mean it-what may then happen? iVir Chamberlain is to speak at War- rington on the 8th instant, and it h impossible that he can avoid reference to Lord Hartington's speech so that we shall then doubtless hear some- thing on the subject. But meanwhile, may it not be prudently suggested that a decision, or even I a declared desire, to exclude Radical ideas from the Liberal programme is likely to exercise a serious influence upon the fortunes of the Liberal party at the next election? May it not even give us a divided party, and a diminished majority, with thenatural consequence of a brief and troubled Parliament, to be followed by a broader appeal to the country, and the ultimate return of a strong Radical majority? Is that a condition of things which any Liberal, moderate or advanced, Whig or Radical, could possibly desire? Say, for example—to take the smallest list of Radical reforms — that the country is to be told that the questions of free schools, the power of local authorities to acquire land, and a fiscal leform, such as tbe fair taxation of unoccupied land aud sporting land, are to be summarily excluded from the list of possible Liberal measures—what heart would there be in the Liberal contest, and what inducement would there be for Radical statesmen to enter the next Liberal Govern- ment ? It is welt enough known that there were difficulties in the last Adminis- tration, and that the Radical members of it, while reluctantly accepting compromise, and submitting to the postponement of essential reforms, reserved their freedom of action for the future. Is it likely, is it reasonable, iu- deed is it possible, that in the face of a great national contest they should again voluntarily assume restrictions, in the present and for the future, from which they are now set free ? And if such a sacrifice is attempted to be imposed upon them, and is rejected, as it will be, what, then, becomes of Liberal union and of the prospects of Liberal administration and legislation? It is true that Lord Hartington offers a programme of his own but it is a limited one. Reform of the land laws, by the abolition 1 of the custom of primogeniture, by removing restrictions on the sale of land, and by cheapen- ing transfer—that is the first proposal. But 011 this there is general agreement; even the Conser- vatives, we suspect, will offer ifo serious opposi- tion to it. Reform of local government—county government in particular—is the next proposal. Here, again, there is virtual agreement amongst all parties; Conservatives as well as Liberals are prepared to reconstruct local authorities, to give them a representative character, and to invest them with largely augmented powers. Re- sistance to the dissolution of the empire, by giving legislative independence to Ire- land, is the third proposal. Once more there is agreement-that is, amongst Liberals, for we speak only for them. There is no statesman, whether Radical or Whig, who will consent to the terms Mr Parnell has just proposed—that may be taken as a matter of certainty. But here Lord Hartington stops. He allows no ruum for expansion, he gives no place for hope of a de- veloped programme, he takes no note of the growing demand for free education or for revised taxation; and he puts wholly out of sight the eagerness of the poorer members of the agricul- tural class to obtain the right to cultivate for them- selves, to occupy, and even to own, some portion of the land upon which they work. All practical and moderate proposals to these ends he con- fuses, or seems to confuse, with others which are neither practical nor reasonable, and he con- demns the whole as politically dangerous and economically unsound. Lord Hartiugton pos- sibly did not intend, without reserve or qualifica- tion, to say what he seems to say in his recent speech or that if, for the moment, he did intend it, his immediate conclusion is not immutable. If we are right in this deduction, then we see no ditiiculty ahead if we are wrong, then we fore- see the most serious danger to tbe Liberal cause in the approaching contest, and to the unity of the Liberal party in Parliament and in the next administration.
