IT WAS A FAIRLY TEMPERATE DAY for the Prince of Wales to open the city of London School on the Embankment on Tuesday. We may be congratulated on the addition of a public building, simple but effective, in character at once with its surroundings and not out of character with the disciplinary ends for which it was erected. Either a palace or a prison-like structure would be unsuitable for a boys' school, and so would a church or a theatre. The archi- tect has, happily, kept clear of these conceits hence his success.

w 111 been voing on CABINET RE-CONSTRUCTION has been going on for some time, and even yet the final arrange- ments (if we may speak of finality in such a mass of frail mortality as Cabinet ministers are made of) seems far from complete. All that is certain is that four ministers in the Cabinet together fill up seven places, so that there are at least three vacancies, if not four. Two are almost certain to enter the Cabinet, Lord Derby and Sir Charles Dilke, and may be described as the oil and vinegar of the social salad bnt which is to throw in the salt or the "mordant mustard" is the secret not yet divulged.

W IT WAS WHILST Dr. Tait was Bishop of Lon- don that Mr Mackonochie first made his appear- ance in the Ecclesiastical Courts. The St. Alban's controversy has raged ever since. The conflict has now ended through the affecting efforts of the Archbishop, whilst upon his death- bed, to promote peace in the Church. Mr Mackonochie has not yielded a single point in dispute. He changes the scene of his labors, but nothing more. Indeed, he goes to a Church where the ritual is even more extreme than at St. Alban's. His only concession at parting is to take with him the picture of the Virgin which, in defiance of authority, he had hung in his Church. Mr Suckling, his succeLor sS o advanced in his opinions that he was selected to take the place of Mr Lowder at St. Petees. If peace is indeed secured by the dead Arch- bishop's arrangements, it will only be because that arrangement must be taken to meRan t'hat PS d the Ritualiat» may do as they pla8e. MR T. O'CONNOR, M.P., gave a statement I at Clerkenwell on Tuesday night, with regard to Mr Parnell's intended sale of his Wicklow estate. It only tells us what we knew already, and in which Mr Parnell only thinks as every landlord in Ireland. He is anxious for peasant proprietorship but who is not whose misfor- tune it is to be tied up to a few unremunerative acres in Ireland, which neither bring in profit nor pleasure 1 The only question is at what rate Mr Parnell is letting in his tenants as pro- prietors, since at a fair rate of purchase there is not a landowner in Ireland who would not be rejoiced to sell and run.

IT IS AMUSING how the conversions, or per- versions, whichever we may please to call them, of people in society get talked about and fought over, as we suppose, according to the legend, the body of Moses was by certain angelic personages. The last case in point is Sir Tatton Sykes and his spouse. On which side of the Reformation does this sporting Yorkshire baronet look at religion ? This question exer- cised the Morning Post for some days last week, and the editor at last gave it up with a kind of Dundreary sigh. As the Duke of Norfolk stood sponsor for Lady Sykes, we hope her re- baptism did her good. +

ON FRIDAY LAST the Rev. Aaron Francis, the senior English Congregational minister in North Wales, passed away to his rest and reward. Mr Francis had for upwards of 43 years been a minister of the Congregational communion, having held pastorates at Penybryn (Wrexham), Newtown, and Rhyl, the latter extending over nearly 30 years. He was educated at Hackney College, London, and was ordained in 1840. The deceased was a prominent Libeial, who for many years rendered good service to the cause of social and political reform. He took very deep interest in the English Congregational Union for North Wales, of which he was an active member. Several members of its com- mittee attended his funeral, which took place on Tuesday at Khyl, when every mark of respect was shown to his memory. 00-

MR OSBORNE MORGAN'S ADDRESS to the Liberals of Birkenhead will be read with in- terest and enjoyment, as also the speech the Right Hon. gentleman delivered to his con- stituents at Llanrwst the following evening. True, the Liverpool Courier fails to find a trace of argument in the Birkenhead address, but we can make allowances at present for its want of discernment, and feel some sympathy for its de- crepitude. The shock of a Tory defeat has bte i quite too awfully atterfor its nerves, a id it can see no good in any of those who have con- tributed thereto. Mr Morgan not only chaffed the Tories unmercifully on the Liverpool affair, but eloquently defended the Government policy and showed by the triumphant ring of his tones —a sound reciprocated by his audience-that the Liberal position was stronger now than at the last general election.

DR. HORNBY, the head master of Eton, who is, by the way, first cousin to Lord Derby, is too staunch a Tory to tolerate Radical opinions upon the land question and upon Irish agitation in his assistant masters His conduct to Mr Joynes is a little inconsistent. Erroneous political opinions might disqualify a man as a teacher, and yet not interfere with his com- petency to provide board and lodgings for young gentlemen. Yet Dr. Hornby did not dismiss Mr Joynes from his mastership, but only inter- dicted him from having a boarding-house. As, however, public schoolmasters make only a small income as instructors, and depend chiefly for their livelihood upon their profits as private hotel keepers, Mr Joynes at once resigned his post. He will probably be no loser in the end, but rather a gainer. Dr. Hornby's arbitrary act is a capital advertisement for his politically heterodox assistant. ♦ ————

MR GLADSTONE'S PARLIAMENTARY JUBILEB which took place on Wednesday has been the occasion of inumerable congratulations from individuals, Liberal Associations, and even from foreign cities. Fifty years of consecutive, active, political life, as measured by the ordin- ary average work of the House of Commons is no mean achievement for the human physique. Mr Gladstone's work, however, cannot be measured by ordinary standards. To him the whole half century has been incessant work. Taking office shortly after becoming a member of Parliament he went rung after rung up the ladder until he became Prime Minster. In each position he occupied, as also when in oppo- sition, the details of official duties, as well as the great principles of statesmanship, were grasped and mastered until now when the jubilee comes it leaves him without his peer. The occasion has caused not a few notices of his remarkable career, most of them showing that there are occasions when we can recognise and appreciate our great men without regard to political differences. The following extract from an article in Wednesday's Standard is an illus- tration of this good feeling The occasion is one which may well kindle the enthusiasm of his political friends, and his opponents will not suffer it to pass without a word of lieaity con- gratulation and goodwill. In the long survey of Mr Gladstone's political life some of the most brilliant passages must be reviewed with pride and sympathy by every Englishman, whilst those who are most prompt to condemn the latter phases of his career will find most to commend in its earlier stages. When the largest deductions have been made he will still remain one of the most eminent of that illustrious circle of Victorian statesmen who have con- tributed to make the present reign one of the happiest and most prosperous periods of English history, and who when time has done its part in obliterating their distinctive blemishes will be remembered by posterity with equal grati- tude.

IT IS NOT UNNATURAL THAT RUMOUR should have been busy lately in predicting Ministerial changes. A Parliamentary chapter may be said to have been finished, a new leaf turned over. The Premier is desirous of obtaining rest from labours which may not only be termed arduous, but harassing beyond all precedent. Mr Glad- stone belongs to that class of men who seem able to go on to the last. Although beyond the allotted age of man, he retains the vigor of middle life; indeed, the work he has done during the past three years would shame many an individual who has just attained his prime. In these circumstances, we say, it is natural that his friends, if not he himself, should be looking forward to retirement, and though probably he would like to run out one more session-such a step would undoubtedly be opportune. Mr Gladstone might retain the Premiership while refraining from official labour. He has able lieutenants who could relieve him entirely from administrative anxiety. The leadership would fall on a statesman who has for many years past been in training. Lord Hartington has pro- bably made fewer mistakes than any member of the present Cabinet. Only once can he be said to have acted contrary to public opinion. But as the exception proves the rule, so a single error might serve to mark the general wisdom of a minister at any rate, it would bring into greater contrast the worthier acts of his career. The present Secretary of State for India possesses the complete allegiance of his party- no small advantage when past dissensions are borne in mind. He has, moreover, always shown a statesmanlike grasp of political affairs, and in the business immediately under his con- trol has displayed ability and tact of no common order. If he has to leave the India Office, a post will be found for a statesman whose advent to the Cabinet would be an interesting as well as an auspicious event. Lord Derby, who has already crossed the Rubicon, is about, it is saS' tilflir his lot with the Liberal Cabinet, and Mtototil "SL ™K'lrtant department of the Ministry. his will be a decided gain to the party, and wold compensate in some measure erv?es ?? GladstoDe's administratis services. In the event of these changes taking prSUZce l there can be no doubt as to who takina undertake the duties of Chancellor of ?e Exchequer.

MANY OF OUR READER* may have heard, early in the week, that Sir Watkin Williams, our late borough member, has been seriously unwell. Sir Watkin has been so seriously indisposed as to be absent from court for several days, but we are happy to say that he was able to resume his judicial duties ou Wednesday, though not com- pletely restored to his usual licolth.

MR CHILDERS' move from the War Office to the Chancellorship of the Exchequer is some- thing more than a recognition of special administrative ability during the Egyptian campaign it is also a special mark of confidence on Mr Gladstone's part. It is true that there is no hope of an heroic budget next year, but it will require no little financial skill to make ends meet, and for this Mr Childers is perhaps better qualified than any member of the Cabinet.

THE NOTICES for the triennial election of the Wrexham School Board are now issued, and nominations to the new Board have shortly to be made. The Wrexham School Board have now had twelve years of active work, and it is gratifying to look back all along the line, and find that while the constitution of the Board has always been fairly representative of all opinions and interests, its operations have been both efficient and economical, and moreover "iven general satisfaction. The members, both Church, Nonconformist, and Catholic, have worked to- gether harmoniously under the able conduct of Mr Hughes, the chairman, and have acquired that knowledge and experience of the working of the Education Acts which U necessary to their efficient operation. All the members of the Board are entitled to public thanks for the attention they have given to their official duties, and we hope the public appreciation of these services will at least receive the recognition of 30:1 unopposed re- election. In fact no public purpose would be served by a contest at the present time, and no necessity exists for changing the personnel of the Board, unless on the part of the members themselves. This we hope will not arise and that an immediate effort will be made to secure che unopposed return of the present Board.

THE RESULT OF THE LIVERPOOL ELECTION came as a pleasant suprise to the Liberals, but a woe- ful disappointment to the Conservatives not only in Liverpool itself but throughout the country. For several days before the poll, the Courier adopted its usual tactics for rousing the Conservative party. In the Whitley-Ramsay case they appeared successful, as they also did in the Hamilton-Plimsoll contest. Why have they not resulted in success for Forwood, the leader and governor of the party-whose can- didature was accepted without question, and whose fitness from the party point of view was without doubt ? Has all the sharpness worn off the Courier's whip, or has the tail of the party met with a similar fate to that of the comet, and a portion become absorbed in the region of greater light and force ? One or other or both these causes have operated upon the party so long dominant in Liverpool, and now the ranks con- sidered invulnerable have been ruthlessly broken. The walls hitherto impregnable have been scaled. The Liberals have won Liverpool at a bye- election, Smith is the member, while Forwood is relegated to mmunicipal politics and local leadership. The event was fought by local men. Mr Forwood had every advantage, being the only candidate named on his side. He had been so long before the city that every phase of his political opinions was thoroughly known and though he hoisted one or two strange sail it was well known what passing breezo they wore set to catch. On the other hand Mr Smith was not selected until it was found that Mr (Juion declined to stand. His position as a Liberal was not so prominent as some others. One thing, however, was most prominent in the issue, both in printed addresses and speeches, and that was that Mr Smith came forward as a supporter of Mr Gladstone and his policy, while Mr Forwood opposed it in the str mpt manner. This was the true issue fought out at Liverpool last Friday, and the resut has been accepted in Liverpool and by the country as a verdict in favor of that policy. This outcome of a bye-election in the second city of the em- pire" and where the Conservatives have hither- to held the pre-eminence, is most significant, and points to a possible change of political power at the next general election when Mr Whitley may possibly have to shine as the minority member for Liverpool. ———— —

UYDER THE TITLE of "the Topography of Intemperance" a writer-Mr Thomas Glyde— in the present month's nlimber of Matmd'foiCs Magazine places before the public some valuable but startling facts upon the question of drunken- ness. We purpose laying before our readers a few of Mr Glyde's facts for their consideration. The writer points out that the general supposi- tion is that drunkenness is an evil spread over the country, and the cause of it is the multi- plicity of gin palaces and drinking houses, and to remove the evil, it is necessary to eradicate the cause. Mr Glyde considers that the closing of public houses is a doubtful remedy, and points out that intemperance is nut, as is generally supposed, widespread. In proof of this he says It is only an evil that has rooted itself in certain places covering a small p >rtion of England, and there it has remained for many years without any material change. It is almost exclusively confined to the western side of the country, and if we were to trace a line from Northumberland downwards, so as to include Wales, we should have comparative intemperance on the one side, and comparative sobriety on the other." Mr Glyde proceeds to point out the singular fact that were the public houses are the most numerous there exists the least drunken- ness, and vice versa. This he proves by figures. In the county of Durham where drunkenness is nearly at the rate of 15 per 1000, the public houses are 3.8 per 1000, whilst in Huntingdon- shire the public houses are 9.7 per 1000, and the drunkenness only 1. S per 1000 Alluding to Wales he says :—" Another peculiarity may be found existing in the Principality. The Welsh people are admitted to have strong reliCtPli-i",4 sympathies. Large sums of money have been spent—more especially by the working classes- in the erection of places of worship, and the pro- portion of church members to the congregation would be greater in Wales than in England. It would be hard to say that morally the Welsh people are not equal to the English. A very large number of them spend a good deal of time in the cultivation of sacred vocal music but there is no country in the Principality where the inhabitants will at all approach in sobriety those of the eastern counties of England. In Carnar- vonshire, where the population is sparse, the number of persons charged with drunkenness last year reached 8.9 per 1000 of the population; while in the adjoining counties, Flintshire and Denbighshire, the returns are the lowest for Wales, viz., 4 3. per 1000 of the population. Here again the number of public houses have no reference to the extent of drunkenness. In Carnarvonshire where the returns are the highest, the proportion of public houses to tl" population is 4 S per 1000 in Flintshire vvfu-r* the returns are the lowest, the proportion ? > per 1000. In Breconshire the proportion 01 public houses to the population is 8 3 por WM but the people- of Breconshire are anions th<* soberest in WaJes." In attempting to account for the insobriety of the western counties, Glyde is of opinion that persons cn\.Icd III noxious and unhealthy occupations, drink mre- than those employed in mora healthy pursuits, and fnrthe that in the we3t whi ro drtilike", ness prevails to the greatest extent, he rainfal- is more considerable than on the eastern 3:at:. Noxious sunployment and a hUluid a.tm,.phd t t t f 1 1 .t.lt\ may to some extent accudnt for tltr, large of drunkenness among Welsh people, thusiasisc Celtic temperament in.uy perlui1^ A;go be a factor in the reawt. The artu-lo fr°Ci which we have taken the abovo facts and rilnr" I I ,.r is a most valuable cue, and deserves the consideration of aU temperance workers. I
