Sir William Vernon Harcourt. (whose

wife, his second, is a daughter of the lute John Lothrop Motley, the historian; and at one time United States Minister in London), has for twenty-five years

held a commanding position in the Liberal party. Mr Gladstone long re- garded him as his ablost lieutenant in the House of Commons.

Second son of the Rev. William Har-

court and a grandson of a former Arch- bishop of York, he was born October 14, 1827. In 1851 lic left Cambridge Uni- versity witli high honors, and three vears later he was called io the har at

Ithcmselvbs as a class the most order-

ly, law-abiding and virtuous people in the community. The claim has been occasionally disputed, and we have heard it asserted by a city-man now and then that the pretension to super- ior morals and virtue on the part of the rural population is a piece of self-righteous assumption, wholly un- warranted by the facts.

In this as in other matters THE

GUARDIAN is only concerned to 'bring out the truth and give t’o all classes their due. Let us turn to the crimi- nal statistics of the country for a few moments and see what they re- veal. We take the table showing the per centage of the total of crimi-

He went outiof ofiice with his party

in June. 1885, but on the return of the Liberals to power in January of the following year h_e was made Chancellor of the Exchequer. He was re-elected for Derby at the general elections ol 1885 and 1886.

Sir William Harcourt went out of

oiiice again on the downfall ofthe Glad- stone Government in July, 1886, but returned to it as Chancellor of the Ex- chequer in August, 1892, when Mr. Gladstone, re-assumed power and held this portfolio throughout the life of the Gladstone-Roseberry Government,which fcll in June. 1895. in the general ele- ction of 1895, Mr. Harcourt was return- ed for West Monmouthshire.
