« The Conservatives are not united.

The Gladstone Government.

(From the Montreal Herald.)

According to present indications the Gladstone Government is not likely to last much longer. If an appeal were made to the people it would probably be defeated, though, taking it for all in all, it has been one of the bust, most progressive and truly liberal governments that England has ever had. It is not the force and power of the Opposition that Mr. Gladstone has to fear. While Sir Stafford Northcote is not recognized leader, and the inheritor of Beaconsfield’s position, a considerable number of the younger members of the party serve under the pennant of that free lance, Lord Randolph Churchill. It is more than prob- able that through dissensions in the cabinet ‘itself its dissolution will be brought about. Few men could have done what Mr. Glad. stone has accomplished,in keeping together for so long a time a Government composed of elements that are almost as antagonistic toeach other as are Libveral and Tory. | The extreme Radicals of the stamp of Mr. ,Chamberlain and Sir Charles Dilke have little sympathy with the old Whig party ,as represented by the Marquis of Harting- ton, or with that of the converted Con- servative, the Earl of Derby. Under the rule of Mr. Gladstone they have worked to- |gether, though it cannot be said that their | working has always been harmonious. The | Marquis of Lansdowne found it necessary to withdraw. Mr. John Bright resigned | because the conduct of the Government did not, In some respects, meet his views ; and | Lord Roseberry retired on the ground that j the Radicals were, in his opinion, entirely , too radical. Unfortunately, the hand that ,has so long held the reins is becoming ; weak. Mr. Gladstone is no longer a young man ; and, though his mind may be as Vigorous as ever, it is not to be expected \that he can submit to and endure all the | worry, trouble and responsibility of a party ‘leadership. Who shall take his place is the ‘question that the future alone ean answer. Shall the cold-line Whigs or the advanced Liberals rule the country? In the Cabinet they are about evenly divided ; and the pro- babilities are that, when the struggle comes, their internal divisions will separate them so widely that the Pories will step in and control the situation. Mr. Gladstone's reign has beena long one, and the legisla- tion which he has initiated will ever remain prominent in English history. Well, in- ‘deed, are his admirers justified in calling him “the gracd old .man,” for, in. the whole range of statemenship there is not a man whose name occupies a more prominent ‘place or whese work was of a broader and a higher character.

The life of Mr. Gladstone’s administra- tion has been a comparatively long one ; and this, it must be borne in mind, is his second term as Prime Minister. For pur- poses of comparison we give the following list of English Prime Ministers for the last hundred years, together with the length of services in each case :—

W. E. Gladstone still in power.

It will probably be remembered that Mr. Gladstone became Prime Minister for the second time in April, 1880, so that he has served in that capacity for a period of cover eight years, counting in his first first term, which began in 1868. He held office, of course, in other governments, having been Chancellor of the Exchequer under the Earl of Aberdeen as far back as 1852. When the time of his withdrawai from public life comes, as it must in the near future, the Liberals of England will be as badly off fora leader as the Conservatives were when Beaconsfied died.

A Mixed-up Murder.

McMillan, who is to be hanged for wife- murder next Friday at Canton, Ohio, told a startling story to a reporter recently. He says that on the night of the murder, while lying beside his wife asleep in bed, he was awakened by a shot which killed his wife, and he saw Fan Killen, a fast woman, and his father in the room. Raising himself up in horror, he received a shot in his breast, which he is supposed to hava fired himself, in order to commit suicide. He relates that when he was shot by Fan, his father exclaimed to her, ‘‘Why did you shoot George?” She responded, ‘*Because I had to,” and then both ran down stairs. He says he did not tell this at the trial, be- cause he wanted to shield his father, who told him that conviction was impossible under the circumstances. His attorney went to Columbus in a last effort to induce the Government to commute the sentence on the strength of the story. McMillan is weak, and will probably have to be carried to the gallows if executed.

LETTERS TG

Hi EDITOR. > - “Our Highways.”

Sir, -The Patriot of the 21st instant, in an article headed “Our Highways,” be- moans the bad state of the roads through- out the country, and says, that “A full st@tement of ali we have heard from Con- servatives and Liberals would occupy many columns.”

Well, Mr. Editor, if the information which the Patriot receives from its inform- ants, concerning the state of our roads, contains no more truth than the illustra- tion it gives to show the truthfulness of the urticle, and the earnestness of the Editor's lamentations, then thejreaders of the Patriot have nothing to fear from hisalarm. They may very appropriately apply the words for which the Editor is proverbial— It’s all bosh !"”

The Patriot instnuates that the Govern- ment refused to sanction a necessary ex- penditure of $6 in repairing the new Morell Road. But the fact that $293 in excess of the Road Scale, in repairing roads and bridges in the District this season, and was readily granted by the Government, suffi- ciently refutes the assertions of the Patriot in reference to this matter.

But the Patriot further asserts that “‘when he was leaving, Mr. Ferguson thought it would, perhaps, be advisable to allow the matter to remain in abeyance.”’ Now, Mr. Editor, the above quotation does not contain one word of truth from begin- ning to end; and was, no doubt, fabricated by a worn-out political hack, who is doing his feeble utmost to bring about a return of the days in which the scribes of the Patriot enjoyed pelitical pap, a taste of which, though short, all the more intensi- fied the cravings of a hungry maw.

New Perth, June 26, 1883,

Military Notés.

The Duke of Connanghi who. has been appointed to a conned at to British India, wil not take up the appointment until the cool season—about the beginning of August.

The Wimbledon meeting this year is ex- pected to be the most interesting that has ever been held). There are over 150 entries for each of the St. George’s and Queen’s Prizes, more than there were last year, and now, for the first time, an Indian squad is to compete for the Kolapore Cup.

The conduct of the non-commissioned ofticers and men of the Sth Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers (Royal Limerick County Militia); since they have been sent to the Curragh, has been of a must exemplary character, evoking from the cfficers of the regimeut, as well as the staff officers at the Curragh, remarks of a most satisfactory character.

Her Majesty has approved the appoint- ment fof General the Right Hon. Sir W. Knollys, K, C. B., to sucezed the late General Lord Rokeby, G. C B., as Colonel of the Scots Guards. By this appointment the coloneley of the Wiltshire Regiment, (92nd), which Sir William has held since November 16, 1858, becomes vacant. General Knollys is the oldest representative of the Scots Guards now on the list. He served with the Scots Fusileer Guards from March 6 to the conclusion of the Penin- sular war in 1814, and was present at the blockade of Bayonne and the repulse of the sortie, on which occasion Sir Henry Sullivan and ten officers of the Guards were killed or died of their wounds. It is worthy of note that the date of the first commission in the army of the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod was as far back as December 9%, 1815, nearly 70 years ago.

Vice-Admiral His Royel Highness the Duke of Edinburgh travelled through Germany, on his way to Moscow, in the uniform of a Prussian general officer. At every station his Royal Highness was well received, the people who had assembled to witness the passege of the Reyal party being most demonstrative in welcoming the Eng- lish Admiral and his Imperial Russian bride. But, amid the bleze of uniforms, a form was observed in civilian attire, wrap- ped in a modest grey ulster, which made this personage all the more conspicuous. The amazement of the spectators, officials, oficers, and troops was indeed great when it was known that it was General Lord Wolseley of Cairo who was thus travelling in wmufti, in the suite of H. R. H. the Duke ef Edin- burgh. Such strange conduct gave rise to many questions, and we regret to find that in Germany “our only General” is accused of so travelling to purposely slight the German army and people, and the Royal Admiral in whose suite he travelled. British officers travelling on the Continent in an official or semi-oflicial capacity should remember that although it is the custom for them when at home to lay by the uniform when not actually on duty, it is neverthe- less the custom among foreigners to appear in uniform on all occasions ; and when our officers go to Rome, it surely would be well for them to do as the Romans do, if only with the view of supporting the honor of their cloth.-—Army and Navy Gazette.

We note that attention is being directed to the fact that New York harbor, while being an exceedingly good harbor for a ship that is safely inside it, is exceedingly difficult and dangerous to get in or out,

stroyed,

and growing more difficult and dangerous daily. The New York Times states that since the first of the present year, no less than nine ocean steamships have been stranded on the shoals at the mouth of the harbor, and it adds that though ‘‘it would net perhaos be strictly accurate to say that the harbor is being slowly and certainly de- * * * the fact that nine sea- going vessels have grounded while on their way out of this bay, within halfa year, should arouse attention.”
