 A Souvenir of the 
 
 GENERAL ELECTION OF 1892. 
 
 With Scenes and Faces in the Late Parliament. 
 
 WITH 300 CARTOONS, POLITICAL ILLUSTRATIONS, &c., by F. CARRUTHERS GOULD, HUGH 
 THOMPSON, J. H. STAFFORD, J. BANKS, H. HOLIDAY, FRANK LOCKWOOD, Q.C., M.P. 
 
 An interesting souvenir of the General Election of 1892 will be found in the “Elector’s 
 Picture Book,” a work which obtained a wide circulation since the late Dissolution, and in 
 which are depicted, with great good humour, many of the exciting political events of the past 
 Parliament, together with many of the faces of those who have been engaged in the recent 
 fray. It has formed an Armoury of Political Weapons and a Magazine of Political Powder 
 and Shot, and the pictures have afforded a fund of amusement to both friend and foe in many 
 constituencies. The book is of historical value, and serves to perpetuate the memory of a 
 General Election which is acknowledged on all hands to be full of moment for the future. 
 
 OPINIONS. 
 
 The Daily News says “ ‘ The Elector’s Picture Book,’ with scenes 
 ard faces in Parliament 1886-1892, just issued from the ° all Mall Qazette 
 office, is a collection of Mr. F. C. Gould’s clever sketches and caricatures 
 illustrating the political situation, as it has appeared to this humourist o‘ the 
 pencil fiom day to day during the last six years. ‘ Balfour’s Maiden,’ ‘The 
 Rape of O’Brien’s Breeches,’ and other similar jests, bring back memories o f 
 the Coercion policy about which Ministers at present are strangely silent. The 
 clever Parnell Commission Court sketches point amoral. ‘ Mr. Chamberlain 
 on the Down Grade’ and ‘At Tea with the Duchesses’ tell a humorous 
 tale, and figures now for ever gone from the parliamentary scene are 
 pleasantly brought back to our recollection. ‘ The Coming Eclipse,’ on the 
 cover of the book, is prophetic. The face eclipsing Lo'd Salisbury’s appears 
 to be one familiar to Midlothian electors.” 
 
 The Daily Chronicle says “ Mr. Frank Gould has produced what 
 is by far the most brilliant and pointed series of electioneering caricatuies 
 that this Parliament has. e.volved. His contributions to the Pall Mall 
 ‘ Elector s Picture-book ’ are full of every sort of talent, genuine political 
 knowledge, a wonderful knack of catching a likeness, and a sense of r Pick- 
 ing fun which brings him well in line with Mr. Harry Furniss. The ninety- 
 six pages are simply packed with good things.” 
 
 The Star says : — “ The Pall Mall Gazette 1 Extra,’ which is just issued, 
 contaii ing nearly three hundred sketches from Mr. Gould’s versatile pencil 
 is a very diverting publication. The cartoons and portraits are so arranged 
 as to te'l a consecutive story in eighteen chapters, and we {recommend the 
 section dealing with ‘Joseph the Apostate’ to the best attention of 
 Biimingham electors. Would that all political morals were at once so 
 soundly and entertainingly pointed ! ” 
 
 The Sunday Sun says : — “ A happy idea. It is a collection of some 
 300 of Mr. F. C. Gould’s clever cartoons and pictures, covering the period 
 of the Parliament which is just expiring. The sketches are accompanied by 
 a sUgbt thread of letterpress to connect them, but really this seems hardly 
 necessary, they tell their tale so clearly. This is a trouble-saving age, and 
 for a man who wanted to refresh his memory without tiring his brain on the 
 events of the past six years we could not imagine a better device than this 
 capital picture-book. It is a bible of sound political doctrine expounded by 
 means of side-splitting caricatures.” 
 
 The. Newcastle Leader says : — “ A little work which will do good 
 service in the electoral campaign. Some of the cartoons are excellent — 
 a political history in themselves, likely to exert more influence than many 
 long speeches.” 
 
 The Methodist Times says: — “A splendid shillingsworth of election 
 fun. It is not quite impartial, but no one can refrain from laughter at the 
 cleverness of the ‘hits.’ We never remember having seen a better volume 
 of political caricature.” 
 
 The Eastern Daily Press says : — “ Mr. Gould is among the fore- 
 most of our pictorial satirists, and his pencil has never been so vigorous as 
 it is in this collection. Since Ptmch practically abdicated its position as a 
 political guide, and forced Mr. Tenniel to content himself with a neutrality 
 
 which suits him very ill, Mr. Gould has been the most successful advocate 
 of the Liberal cause in his particular department. 
 
 The Bristol Mercury says: — “ A collection of Mr. Gould’s exceed- 
 ingly clever caricatures of legislators and of Parliamentary incidents. The 
 la- n of scorn plays particularly round Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, but those 
 who wince most under the artist’s performance must admit its cleverness 
 and humour.” 
 
 The Freeman’s Journal says “ Mr. Gould’s work is always first- 
 class, and this edition of what may be called his * collected works ’ is well 
 worth buying and keeping.” 
 
 Mr. Schnadhorst writes : — “ I thank you for the copy of your instruc- 
 tive and amusing pamphlet. It conveys many valuable lessons in a manner 
 calculated to secure popular attention, and I shall be glad to know that it is 
 being widely circulated.” 
 
 The Publisher’s Circular says : — “ Comes at an opportune moment. 
 The book serves the double purpose of amusing the reader and recalling to 
 his mind many of the chief political events of the last six years.” 
 
 The Literary World says : — “ Is a clever pictorial presentment of 
 recent political events ; the drawings are admirably done, and the skits 
 extremely forcible.” 
 
 The Northern Daily Telegraph says: — “The best election litera- 
 ture we have seen so far. The publication tells, by means of brilliant 
 caricatures and a running commentary, the political history of the last five 
 years, with its record of broken promises and Coercion, of plank beds and 
 ‘ Don’t hesitate to shoot ’ episodes, of ‘ black men ’ and ‘ Hottentot ’ indis- 
 cretions, and dear sugar and compensation struggles. There are nearly 
 300 cartoons and portraits, and every one of them is full of humour and 
 force.” 
 
 The Western Press says : — “Is well calculated to relieve the average 
 householder from the oppression caused by too prolonged a study of serious 
 politics. It is a collection of about 300 cartoons, political illustrations, &c., 
 and has a mission of amusement.” 
 
 The Shields Daily Gazette says;— “It is enclosed in a stout 
 wrapper, and extends to 100 pages, containing 300 cartoons, political 
 illustrations, & c., and its price is one shilling. There are in the book 
 prophetic drawings, and the doings of the expiring Parliament are illus- 
 trated in the most amusing manner, no event of importance being missed.’’ 
 
 The Leicester Chronicle says : — “ It was a happy thought to repro- 
 duce a selection from Mr. F. C. Gould's Parliamentary and political 
 sketches which have appeared during the past six years in the Pall ‘ Mall 
 Gazette. In their new guise they are better printed, on superior paper, 
 doing fuller justice to the remarkable genius of the artist. If any one 
 wants to know what the men of whom they read in Parliament look like, 
 they should get ‘ The Elector’s Picture Book.’ The likenesses are mar- 
 vellously true, and every figure is alive with characteristic action. F. C. G. 
 has caught some likenesses — Mr. Henry Fowler’s, for example — which have 
 baffled other artists in the same line.”

 Since its formation in 1884. to March 31st, 1892, the Society 
 has dealt with 20,205 complaints of Cruelty to Children. 
 
 General ill-treatment.. 3,073' Begging 1,462

 posure 1,480 
 
 The above cases involved the welfare of 44,405 children. 
 
 The victims have been mostly very young children, many o( 
 them quite babies. 
 
 Cases are undertaken in any rank where cruelty to a child is 
 practised ; but mere parental indiscretion is not interfered with. 
 
 Homes are found for children where necessary ; and when 
 returned to parents they are kept under supervision. 
 
 In consequence of its new laws, greatly increasing work is sent 
 to it to do. It is therefore needing greatly increased funds. 
 
 FUNDS urgently NEEDED to MAINTAIN and EXTEND 
 the WORKS.

 EARNEST APPEAL. 
 
 This Instituiion was established to rescue Lost Dogs from misery and 
 starvation ; to clear the streets from the nuisance and dangers of straying 
 ownerless Dogs ; to substitute for cruel processes of destroying life a 
 speedy, painless, and therefore merciful and scientific method, when 
 killing is absolutely necessary ; to find owners and suitable homes for 
 many useful and valuable animals ; and to prevent exorbitant rewards 
 being extorted by unprincipled and designing persons for the recovery of 
 lost favourites, and by restoring dogs to their iightful owners upon pay- 
 ment of little more than the cost of keep during their residence at the 
 refuge. 
 
 The Committee commenced the year with but £11 in hand ; and as 
 they are performing a necessary public work, as much in the interest of 
 Society as in mercy to homeless and starving dogs, they feel that they can 
 rely upon sympathizing friends to enable them to meet the heavy claims 
 which regularly fall due. 
 
 All remittances to be made payable to the Secretary, at the Home.

 A Novel Book. 
 
 It is about eating, about foods, about digestion, 
 and such things, and any man who has a stomach 
 will find it good reading. 
 
 We really know less about our stomachs than we 
 do of Africa ; we overlook this region of magical 
 wonders, and we ought to know more of it. 
 
 Our stomach is full of intricate machinery, delicate 
 workings, and has a great chemical laboratory in 
 constant operation. Neither electricity, nor steam, 
 nor the skies, nor the sciences and arts reveal so 
 grand a design and such wonderful results as our own 
 despised stomachs. 
 
 We have' prepared a book entitled “Guy’s Guide 
 to Digestion,” which tells about these things, and 
 teaches us what to eat and what to avoid. 
 
 Those who suffer from weak stomachs or any form 
 of dyspepsia should certainly read it. 
 
 It is entertaining and instructive, both for the sick 
 and the well, and once you begin it you will read 
 every word. 
 
 We send it free and post-paid to any one who, 
 when writing, will mention the “House of Commons 
 Guide.”

 PREFACE. 
 
 l A FEW words explanatory of the contents above enu- 
 yt -Aa. merated, and of the method of their arrangement, may 
 
 perhaps be useful by way of preface. 
 
 The purpose of an Index to Members is served by the Table 
 of Professions, Opinions, &c. , in which the names are arranged 
 alphabetically and each member’s constituency is given. By 
 reference to this constituency, the reader will find the member’s 
 biography. 
 
 The Table of Members is followed by an Alphabetical List 
 of Unsuccessful Candidates, with references to the constituencies 
 for which they stood. 
 
 This is followed by an Alphabetical List of the less familiar 
 names of county and other divisions. 
 
 The analysis of the Results of the Election needs no explana- 
 tion. The broad features of the results are fully brought out, 
 ^ and all particulars with regard to the State of Parties and Party 
 Gains and Losses are supplied. Amateurs of Proportional 
 Representation, devotees of “ One Vo'e One Value,” and 
 students of electoral statistics generally, will also find, under this 
 head, many facts and figures worthy of their attention. 
 
 The Political Maps which follow are an endeavour to repre- 
 sent the Results of the Election of 1892, as well as those of 
 1885 and 1886, in a simple and graphic manner. The Keys to 
 the several maps give in tabular form a complete list of the con- 
 stituencies, together with the state of their representation at the 
 three elections. 
 
 In order to render the “Extra” more comp’ete as a 
 “ Record of the Election of 1892” the manifestoes addressed 
 to the country by the Party Leaders, in which the issues of the 
 fight were defined, have been included. The Four Administra- 
 t ons which have held power during the last 12 years are also 
 given ; whilst, in order better to fulfil the purposes of a 
 “Guide to the House of Commons,” a list of the officials and 
 clerks, together with the rules at present in force for the 
 admission of strangers, are now supplied. 
 
 The “‘Mems.’ about Members with Particulars of the 
 Polling ” complete the book. The constituencies are arranged 
 £n alphabetical order throughout, with the exception of a few 
 slight deviations here and there necessitated by the printer’s 
 ■“ make-up.” The particulars are given of the electorate and of 
 
 the polling in 1892 in each of the 643 constituencies in the 
 United Kingdom, together with similar particulars of the 
 polling at the Elections of 1885 and 1886 and at all 
 the By-elections. These are followed by biographical 
 
 notices of all the members ; whilst in the case of some 
 of the leading politicians and of many of the more interest- 
 ing personages in the House, political character-sketches 
 or more detailed biographies have on this occasion been 
 attempted. The Guide, issued to the public on the day 
 appointed for the assembling of the new Parliament (August 4), 
 has been corrected throughout down to the date of the latest 
 returns — including the bouleversement at Greenock (July 28) 
 and the declaration of po'l in Orkney and Shetland (July 29). 
 Several hundred portraits have been sped illy drawn and 
 engraved for the present issue, the total number of portraits 
 being over 500. The Editor is much indebted to the members 
 who have kindly sent him their photographs. He has to 
 regret that several reached him too late lor inclusion in the 
 present edition. His obligations to the photographers will 
 be more particularly discharged later on. (See p. 33.) 
 
 In conclusion the Editor begs to tender his thanks to the 
 correspondents and critics who have favoured him with 
 suggestions for the improvement of this Handbook. Some of 
 these have been adopted in this edition. Others have been 
 regretfully passed over for the present, owing solely to the 
 exigencies of space. The Editor begs also to express his 
 gratitude to the Public and the Press for their kindly reception 
 of the Pall Mall Gazette’s “ Popular Guide,” which first 
 appeared in 1885, and which is now in its ninth edition. It 
 can honestly be said that no pains have been spared by his 
 colleagues and himself to make this Record what some sanguine 
 Liberals hoped to make of the e’ection itself — namely, “ as 
 in 1885 — only better.” 
 
 But though every care has been taken to secure accuracy, a 
 publication of this kind, which deals with so large a number of 
 details and covers so wide a ground of information, cannot 
 expect to be entirely free from error. The Editor will therefore 
 be glad, with a view to future issues, to receive any corrections 
 or additions of fact with which he may be favoured.

 ALPHABETICAL INDEX TO MEMBERS. 
 
 A GES. — Taken as a whole the new House of Commons is 
 decidedly older than its predecessor. The ages range from 
 22 — Mr. W. Allen and Mr. T. B. Curran were both born in 1870 — 
 to 90. Mr. Villiers is again the Father of the House at 90, and 
 the other veterans are Mr. Isaac Holden (85), Mr. Gladstone 
 (83), and Mr. C. Wright (82). All four are Liberals, but Mr. 
 Villiers is a Unionist. There are 40 members whose ages range 
 from 22 to 30, inclusive ; 143 from 31 to 40 ; 197 from 41 to 
 50 ; 173 from 51 to 60 ; 78 from 61 to 70 ; and 4 from 81 to 90. 
 In 1886 there were 44 between 20 and 30, and 16 whose ages 
 were 71 and upwards. 
 
 UNIVERSITIES AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS.— The new 
 House can boast a larger number of University men than its 
 predecessor — 245 having been to Oxford or Cambridge, as 
 against 243 in 1886. ISo fewer than 144 were once at Oxford, 
 and 101 at Cambridge. As regards the public schools, Eton 
 is again an easy first with 107, ot whom 59 went to Oxford and 28 
 to Cambridge. Harrow comes next with 55, of whom 25 went to 
 Oxford and 19 to Cambridge. Turning to other Universities, 
 we find that at least 13— probably more — are graduates of 
 London ; 17 were at Trinity College, Dublin ; 16 at Edinburgh ; 
 8 at Glasgow ; 6 at the Catholic University, Ireland ; 
 
 and 5 at both St. Andrews and at Aberdeen. Toronto 
 and Sydney Universities have each one member, and 
 several were educated in Paris, Berlin, and other Conti- 
 nental seats of learning. Sandhurst is responsible for 8 and 
 Woolwich lor 5. Several seem to have been at public schools 
 other than Eton and Harrow. The following have been 
 traced : — Rugby, 22 ; Winchester, 10 ; Cheltenham, 9 ; Char- 
 terhouse, 6 ; Shrewsbury and Westminster each 5 ; Clifton, 4 ; 
 and Radley and Tunbridge 3 each. Seventeen were educated 
 at University College, London, and 13 at King’s College, 
 London. Manchester Grammar School can claim 7. 
 
 THE “FADS.” — Turning now to the “fads” of the 
 new House, we find 110 Liberals in favour of Woman’s 
 Suffrage ; 112 Conservatives ; 11 Liberal Unionists ; and 
 19 Nationalists, including 3 Parnellites. Thus, there is a 
 grand total of 252, as against 337 in 1836. There are 167

 Liberals (including Mr. T. P. O’Connor, but excluding othe 
 Irish representatives) understood to be in favour of Disestablish- 
 ment of the Church all round ; 30 otners have only expressed 
 their approval of Scotch disestablishment, and 9 of Welsh 
 disestablishment ; but 44 others have declared their willingness 
 to support disestablishment in Scotland and Wales, without 
 going so far as regards the English Church. These figures are 
 by no means exhaustive, for no account has been taken of the 
 Liberal Unionists, as in their case there is apt (say the 
 Liberationists) to be a discrepancy between promises and votes. 
 Since 1886 most of the Liberals who then stood out for Lccal 
 Option have been converted to the Direct Veto. In the new 
 House are 263 Liberals favouring the Direct Veto, 16 Liberal 
 Unionists, and 14 Conservatives. This gives a grand total of 
 293 as compared with 1886, when there were 172 supporters of 
 the Direct Veto and 111 of Lccal Option. Of the 14 Con- 
 servatives 10 are Irish. We have only a list of the English 
 members who support Sunday Closing. For closing on Impe- 
 rial lines there are 169 — 155 Liberals, 8 Conservatives, and 
 6 Liberal Unionists. Only 14 members prefer Sunday closing by 
 local option. The number of members favourable to the bills 
 promoted by the Early Closing Association and Traders’ Parlia- 
 mentary Alliance is 176 — 115 Liberals, 22 Conservatives, 
 4 Liberal Unionists, and 35 Nationalists, including 4 Par- 
 nell ites. Pledged to the principle of the Eight Hours 
 Bill for miners are 175 members : — 143 Liberals, 17 
 Conservatives, 9 Liberal Unionists, and 6 Nationalists. 
 A still greater number believe in the Payment of members and of 
 election expenses. The grand total is 188, made up of 177 
 Liberals, 4 Conservatives, 2 Liberal Unionists, and 5 Nation- 
 alists. Our information as to “fads” is obtained from the 
 various organizations concerned, to whose kindness in the matter 
 we are much indebted.

 INDEX TO CONSTITUENCIES. 
 
 A COMPLETE Index to Constituencies is here 
 “C* - unnecessary, as in the pages 33 — 128 the con- 
 stituencies are all arranged in alphabetical order. In- 
 convenience in reference is, however, often caused by 
 the alternative names given to the sarne county con- 
 stituencies, and by confusion between boroughs and 
 divisions of boroughs. Not everybody can always 
 
 Abercromby Liverpool Ashburton

 Altrincham Cheshire Aylesbury 
 
 Andover Hampshire, W. Banbury

 remember on the spur of the moment that Kennington 
 is a division of Lambeth, or the county divisions called 
 respectively — eg., Harborough and Holmfirth. We give 
 here, therefore, a list of such constituencies as may con- 
 ceivably cause confusion. In the first column are the 
 names in question ; in the second, the borough or county 
 divisions under which they will severally be found : —

 ANALYSIS OF ELECTION RESULTS . 
 
 THE GENERAL ELECTION OF 1892 
 
 I.— THE RESULTS ON THE STATE OF PARTIES. 
 
 T HERE are two points of view from which the re- 
 sults of a General Election may be regarded. We 
 may look at the members returned or at the electors who 
 return them. The results of the election of 1892 from 
 the latter point of view are tabulated on page 18. On 
 this page we summarize the results from the former 
 standpoint. 
 
 The State of Parties in the New House. 
 
 The crucial issue upon which the Election of 1892 
 was fought was that of Home Rule. W T e therefore 
 include on the one side all members who are pledged 
 for Home Rule, and on the other all who are pledged 
 against it. The Home Rule contingent from Ireland 
 includes, it should be remembered, both Nationalists 
 (“ Anti-Parnellites ”) and “ Parnellites.” Particulars 
 with regard to these parties will be found on p. 17. 
 Among the Liberals are included several “ Labour 
 members,” — namely, Messrs. Arch (Norfolk, N.W.), 
 Burns (Battersea), Burt (Morpeth), Byles (Yorks, 
 Shipley), Fenwick (Northumberland, Wansbeck), 
 Keir Hardie (West Ham, S.), Pickard (Yorks, Nor- 
 manton), J. Wilson (Durham, Mid), J. H. Wilson 
 (Middlesbrough), and Woods (Lancs, Ince). Grouping 
 them with the Home Rule Party we arrive at the 
 following classification 
 
 For Home Rule. 
 
 Against Home Rule. 
 
 Liberals and Labour ... 274 
 
 Nationalists 72 
 
 Parnellites 9 81 
 
 355 
 
 Conservatives 269 
 
 Liberal Unionists 46 
 
 315 
 
 Majority for Home Rule 40 
 
 The Representation of the Three Kingdoms. 
 
 In the next place, it is interesting to see where this 
 majority of 40 comes from. In Ireland the Home Rule 
 majority is 57 ; in Scotland ', 28'; in Wales , 26 — total, 
 111. In England , the majority against Home Rule is 
 71 — reducing the Home Rule majority to 40. The 
 following table shows the representation of the three 
 Kingdoms and the Principality in detail, and includes 
 for comparison the figures of 1885 and of 1886* : —

 Party Gains and Losses. 
 
 We now proceed to tabulate the party Gains and 
 Losses at the election of 1892 ; and first 
 
 * Discrepancies in electoral statistics often arise from differences in thi 
 classification of doubtful politicians. It may be well, therefore, to state 
 that in this table and throughout the maps, &c., we count (1) in 1885 Sir E. 
 Watkin (Hythe) as C, in 1886 and subsequently as LU ; (2) in 1886 Mr 
 Caldwell (Glasgow, St. Rollox), Mr. Fitzwilliam (Peterborough), Sir T. F. 
 Grove (Wilts, S.), Mr. Hingley (Worcestershire, N.), Sir H. V ivian (Swan- 
 sea), Mr. Wiegin (Staffs., Handsworth), and Mr. Winterbotham (Glou- 
 cestershire, E.) as LU ; (3) the Speaker (Warwick and Leamington) as 
 LU ; (4) Mr. Goschen as C. 
 
 As Compared with the Dissolution. 
 
 At the Dissolution (June 28, 1892) the House of 
 Commons was composed of : — 
 
 ^istrZ-Z-^I^O^OpposiCon. 
 
 Ministerial majority 66 
 
 53 Opposition gains (net) = on a 
 
 division 106 
 
 Opposition majority 40 
 
 But this method of reckoning does not recognize the 
 full extent of the revulsion of feeling against Lord 
 Salisbury’s Government ; for it ignores the 20 gains 
 made by the Liberals at by-elections, and the 5 gains 
 made by Unionists finding salvation (Messrs. Cald- 
 well, flingley, and Winterbotham; Sir T. F. Grove, 
 and Sir H. Vivian). In order to bring out the full 
 facts of the case, therefore, we must pass on to con- 
 sider the Party Gains and Losses at the General 
 Election of 1892 
 
 As compared with 1886. 
 
 The Unionist majority at the General Election of 1886 
 was 116, the state of parties being as follows : — 
 
 Conservatives 316 \ 
 
 Liberal Unionists 77 J 
 
 Liberals 1911 
 
 Nationalists 86 J 
 
 = 393 Ministerialists 
 = 277 Opposition.

 The Swing of the Penditlam. 
 
 The net result of the whole revulsion has been to 
 convert a Coercionist majority of 116 in 1886 to a 
 Home Rule majority in 1892 of 40 — a change of 156 
 votes on a division, or of 78 seats. The full “ swing 
 of the pendulum ” is shown in the following little 
 diagram : — 
 
 The Crucial Constituencies.

 pendulum finally swung round as shown above are 
 set forth in the tollowing tables : — L gain Cgain

 The Fate of Parties. 
 
 Lastly, it may be of interest to show how the changes; 
 above described have affected the several parties : — 
 
 In 1835, the Liberals were 191. In 1832, they are 274+ 83 
 ,, ,, Nationalists,, 86. ,, ,, 81—5 
 
 Net Liberal and Home Rule gain 78 
 
 In 1835, the Conservs. were 316. In 1892, they are 259 --47 
 ,, ,, Liberal Unionists ,, 77. ,, ,, 46 — 31 
 
 Net Conservative and Unionist loss 78 
 
 The Liberal Unionists were proportionately, the 
 greatest sufferers. Their net loss of 31 is made up 
 so far as concerns 28 by the losses and gains shown 
 above, and by two seats (Hants, Petersfield, and 
 Suffolk, Lowestoft) surrendered to the Tories. Two 
 other seats (Barrow, and Wilts, South) held by Liberal 
 Unionists in 1885 were transferred to the Liberals 
 during 1886-92, but have now been won by Tories. Of 
 the Tories only about 1 in every 6 disappeared at the 
 General Election; of the Liberal Unionists, about 
 2 in every 5. 
 
 Finally, it will be interesting to record the fortunes of the 
 Parnellites. At the time of the disruption consequent on the 
 fall of Mr. Parnell, there were 50 Anti- Parnellites (excluding 
 Mr. T. P. O’Connor), who sits for an English seat, and 34 
 Parnellites (including Mr. T. P. Gill). The seat which was 
 vacant at Kilkenny fell to the former party, making them 51 
 against 34. Of four seats vacated at by-elections, two remained 
 with the parties in possession — namely, Waterford City (P) and 
 North Sligo (AP), while two Parnellite seats (Cork City and 
 North Wexford) fell to Anti-Parnellites— thus making the state 
 of parties at the Dissolution 53 Anti-Parn-llites and 32 
 Parnellites. It is now 71 Anti-Parnellites and 9 Parnellites. 
 The names of the latter and the constituencies they represent 
 are as follows : — Clancy (Dublin Co., N.), Field (Dublin City, 
 St. Patrick’s), T. Hariington (Dublin, Harbour), Hayden 
 (Roscommon, S.), J. E. Kenny (Dublin, College Green), 
 Maguire (Clare, W. ), Colonel Nolan (Galwav, N.), J. Red- 
 mond (Waterford City) and W. Redmond (Clare, E.). The 
 rout of the Parnellites is thus a remarkable feature of the Irish 
 elections. 
 
 II. -AN ANALYSIS OF THE VOTES. 
 
 We now pass to the second point of view from 
 which the results of a General Election are interesting 
 — namely, the point of view of the voters who took 
 part in it. 
 
 The Election of 1892 as “ Plebiscites 
 
 In the first place, we present a table showing the 
 number of voters who went to the polls, together with 
 the estimated numbers in the case of the uncontested 
 constituencies. A few words of explanation are 
 necessary with regard to the compilation of this table. 
 In the case of double-membered constituencies, as our 
 object is to arrive at the number of voters, we take the 
 highest poll only on either side. In the case of 
 single-membered constituencies with more than two 
 candidates we include, for the same reason, all the 
 votes cast for all candidates. “Labour” votes are 
 reckoned generally among the Liberal totals. But the 
 votes cast for a few “ independent ” candidates have 
 been altogether omitted, as we were unable to decide 
 to which party they should be reckoned. These are 
 J. Leighton (St. Pancras, N.), 35; Donald (Shoreditch, 
 Hoxton), 19 ; Ballard (Bethnal-green, N.E.), 23 ; 
 Taylor (ditto), 106 ; Ellis (Camberwell, Peckham), 95 ; 
 Macdonald (Dundee), 354; Burleigh (Glasgow, Trades- 
 ton), 783 ; Champion (Aberdeen), 991; O’Connor Power

 ANALYSIS OF ELECTION RESULTS. 
 
 (Mayo, West), 609. The total of these nondescript 
 voters is 3,015. In the case of the uncontested 
 elections, and of elections contested only between 
 members of the same party, we have, wherever 
 possible, taken the figures of the last contests (whether 
 at a “by” or in 1886 or in 1885).’ Where this has 
 been impossible — or where (as in the case of Liberal 
 Unionist seats) it would have been obviously mislead- 
 ing — we have taken 75 per cent, of the electorate and 
 
 allotted two-thirds thereof to the side in possession, 
 and one-third to the other. This is probably a fair 
 enough appointment in the case of British seats. But 
 they vote in a more sweeping manner in Ireland ; and 
 in Irish seats we have therefore given 75 per cent, to 
 the side in possession, and none to the other — an 
 apportionment which, applied equally to both sides, 
 will perhaps do substantial justice. Thus treated, 
 the figures of the plebiscite work out as follows : — 
 
 
 Liberal and Nationalist. 
 
 Conservative and Unionist.

 Home Rule majority in Ireland 219,840 
 
 310,295 
 
 Deduct Unionist majority in England 1C4.470 
 
 205,825 
 
 If we treat the electorate as indeed a United Kingdom* 
 the election shows a majority of 40 members and 
 205,825 voters in favour of “ Gladstone and Home Rule.” 
 If we treat it (as some commentators appear to wish) 
 as a collection of States or Cantons, three of such divi- 
 sions are ranged against one. 
 
 Finally, it may be interesting to state how “the 
 plebiscite ” has worked from the point of view of pro- 
 portional representation. Treating the whole electorate 
 as one area, the proportional representation on the 
 votes, as shown above, would have been (halves being 
 necessarily ruled out) L and N 350, C and U 320. The 
 actual figures are : L and N 355, C and U 315 ; so that 
 the Liberal majority would, on a strict system 
 of proportional representation, have been 30 
 (instead of 40). But the “over-representation” of 
 Ireland (annihilated in the above calculations) was after 
 all fixed by the Act of Union. We ought, therefore, 
 perhaps to take Great Britain and Ireland separately. 
 Doing so, we find that in Great Britain alone the 
 Unionists are considerably over-represented. Their 
 actual majority is 17. But if the principle of “ one vote 
 one value ” had prevailed their majority would have 
 
 been 2. On the other hand, in Ireland, treated by 
 itself, the Unionists are under-represented in pro- 
 portion to thd number of their voters. The 
 actual Nationalist majority is 57. It should have been 
 44. On the whole, the result thus arrived at is that 
 the Liberal majority should have been 42. It is 40. 
 There has probably never been an election in which 
 the actual results tallied so closely with the results 
 which a system of Proportional Representation would 
 have worked out. 
 
 A comparison with the Election of 1886 will, how- 
 ever, soon show how largely the element of chance 
 enters into the results. For the purpose of such a 
 comparison, it is necessary to exclude Ireland, since 
 in that year so few Nationalist seats were contested 
 that the Nationalist poll was only slightly in excess of 
 the Unionist, which is absurd. In Great Britain, then, 
 the Unionist majority on electors actually polled in 
 1886 was (in round numbers) 75,000. A computation for 
 the uncontested constituencies does not materially 
 alter that figure. The Unionist majority of 75,000 
 electors produced a majority of 183 members. In 1892 
 a Unionist majority in Great Britain (again in round 
 numbers) of 14,000 electors produces a majority of 
 17 members. At the 1886 rate the majority in 1892 
 would have been 37, and where would Mr. Gladstone’s 
 present majority of 40 have been then? But, on the other 
 hand, at the 1892 rate, the Unionist majority in Great 
 Britain would in 1886 have been 85 instead of 183. 
 The Irish majority in 1886 on the other side was 67, 
 so that Lord Salisbury’s net majority would in that 
 case have been 18 — and what would have become of 
 it then before 1892 ?

 POLITICAL MAPS OF ENGLISH COUNTIES : 1885, 1886, 1892. 
 
 ■\I 7E now proceed to show in detail and in “ black 
 V V an( j w hite ” the results of the elections which have 
 been tabulated in summary 
 form on the preceding pages. 
 
 In the case of the English 
 counties, the matter is simple 
 enough ; for the whole surface 
 of the country is divided out 
 into single-membered county 
 divisions. Each of these divi- 
 sions is numbered ; and a 
 reference to the key-table on 
 the following pages will en- 
 able the reader to. identify 
 any particular division. The 
 letters after each division in 
 the key-table show how it has 
 been represented at the three 
 elections (L = Liberal, C = 
 
 Conservative, U = Liberal 
 Unionist). 
 
 The general feature of the 
 recent election from the point 
 of view of the counties stands 
 out graphically enough on the 
 map. The Liberal position is 
 “ not quite as in 
 1885.” The Libe- 
 ral capture of the 
 counties in that 
 year was very 
 remarkable. In 
 1880, before the 
 extension of the 
 franchise and re- 
 distribution of 
 seats, the Tories 
 were in a majo- 
 rity in the Eng- 
 lish counties of 
 
 1885 
 
 considerably more than 2 to 1 (122 against 50). In 
 1885 the number of English county seats was raised 
 from 172 to 234 ; and of this latter number 
 the Liberals secured 133, leaving 101 to the 
 Tories. In 1885 it was possible, as will be 
 seen from the map, to traverse England 
 from north to south and (though by a more 
 circuitous route) from east to west without 
 ever setting foot on Tory ground. Very 
 different was the state of things in 1886. 
 The Tory black and Unionist “shading’"’ 
 barred the way in every direction. Great 
 atches of this electoral “ black country ” 
 ave, as will be seen, now been reclaimed 
 (though the Birming- 
 ham “ black country 
 remains “ as in 1886 ”) ; 
 and the black of the 
 Home counties re- 
 mains as solid as ever. 
 The reclamation of 
 Norfolk, and to some 
 extent of Lancashire* 
 will be at once ob- 
 served as salient fea- 
 tures.

 POLITICAL MAPS OF LONDON : 1885, 1886, and 1892. 
 
 'T' HE following maps need no explanation. Each of 
 y- the partitions represents a single-membered divi- 
 sion, except No. 41 (the City of London), which has two 
 members. London University is not included ; nor is 
 Croydon, which, though suburban in character, is a 
 municipal borough of itself, and therefore not within 
 the metropolitan area. There are two or three consti- 
 tuencies with curiously outlying portions — e.g., Kensal 
 Town (37) is electoral ly a portion of Chelsea (37). 
 The maps show in black and white the results of the 
 elections in 1885, 1886, and 1892 respectively. The 
 white divisions represent Liberal, the black Tory, and 
 the shaded Liberal Unionists. It will be seen at a 
 glance that the Tories won a great deal of new ground 
 in 1886. Only two patches of white were left in 
 that year South of the Thames ; while in the North 
 the Liberals were clustered together in one small spot. 
 The Tory success in the extreme East-end was also 
 
 remarkable in 1885 ; the Liberals being left with one 
 patch only (Poplar). In 1892 the Liberals went back, 
 in quantity , precisely to “as in 1885;,’! but the distribu- 
 tion of parties shows, it will be seen, considerable 
 difference. In the extreme East-end things are pretty 
 much as they were ; but in the North of London the 
 Liberals have failed to regain their old position, making 
 up, however, tor this loss by a great patch of white in 
 the South. 
 
 The following table (which serves also as a key to 
 the maps) shows in statistical form what is graphically 
 portrayed in the maps. The total state of parties in 
 London (the University seat excluded) was as 
 follows: —

 POLITICAL MAPS OF SCOTLAND : 1885 , 1886 , 1892 . 
 
 I N the following maps the burgh and county representation of 
 Scotland are shown together. For this purpose we divide 
 each county into the number of county divisions plus burgh 
 seats which it contains, and then shade it or leave it white ac- 
 cording to its representation. Thus Ayrshire (No. 19 on the 
 maps) contains two county divisions and two burgh seats. 
 These returned in 1892 3 Liberals and 1 Liberal Unionist. 
 Therefore Ayrshire is left three-fourths white and is shaded 
 over one-fourth. The numbers on the maps refer to the key- 
 table subjoined. The total representation of Scotland at the 
 three elections stands as follows : — 
 
 1885. 1886. 1832. 
 
 Liberal 62 43 51 
 
 Conservative and Unionist 10 23 21 
 
 Roughly speaking, we may say that 1892 shows a return of 
 rather more than half-way to “as in 1885.”

 POLITICAL MAPS OF IRELAND, 1885 , 1886 , 1892 . 
 
 T HE Black and White of the Irish Elections as shown in 
 the following maps form a very instructive lesson. Let us 
 take, first, the years 1885 and 1886, between which there was 
 practically no change. In each of those years there were 85 
 Parnellites to 18 Conservatives (or Unionists). Two of those 18 
 were in each case members for Dublin University, and we do 
 not show them on the maps. With that exception the whole of 
 Ireland was, it will be seen, Parnellite, with the exception of 
 the North-East corner. The only changes made in 1886 as 
 compared with 1885 were within that corner, and they 
 neutralized each other ; the Parnellites winning West Bel- 
 fast and Londonderry City, but losing South Londonderry 
 and South Tyrone. In both those years, then, five-sixths of 
 Ireland was Nationalist in its representation, and only one- 
 sixth “ Unionist.” ... . 
 
 Considerable changes were anticipated in some quarters in 
 1892. Let us see what they amount to. A glance at the maps 
 will show that, whatever they have been, they have not 
 materially affected the general aspect of affairs. And that is 
 
 the fact. In numbers, the representation now stands : 80 
 Nationalists (instead of 85) and 23 “Unionists” (instead of 
 18). The Nationalists have thus lost 5 seats — namely, West 
 Belfast, Londonderry City, North Fermanagh, Dublin City 
 (St. Stephen’s Green), and Dublin County South. Of these 
 5 losses, the first three are in the North-East corner ; and of 
 the other two, one (St. Stephen’s Green) was only lost owing 
 to a superfluity of Nationalist candidates. One genuine 
 “ Unionist ” gain remains, therefore, in the bulk of Ireland. 
 Numerically, we may say that four-fifths of the country are still 
 Nationalist, and only one-fifth “ Unionist.” 
 
 And now for “the North-East corner.” It is often said and 
 assumed that “Ulster” is against Home Rule. A glance at 
 the maps, in which the boundary of Ulster is marked by a 
 dotted line, will show how erroneous is this idea of a “ Loyalist 
 Ulster.” Two-thirds of Down, a third of Armagh, half of 
 Tyrone, half of Fermanagh, and the whole of Cavan, Donegal, 
 and Monaghan, are as spotlessly Nationalist as any part of Con- 
 naught in the west or Munster in the south. Of the whole 
 representation of Ulster, 14 seats out of 33 are still Nationalist ; 
 and, if Antrim be left on one side, the majority is Nationalist. 
 It is not Ulster, then, that declares against Nationalism and 
 Home Rule, but only a portion and a corner of it. 
 
 It would be superfluous to give in tabular form the representa- 
 tion of the whole of Ireland ; for the mass of it, as we have 
 seen, has been consistently Nationalist. But here is a table 
 showing the representation of Ulster at the three elections : —

 THE 1 ARTY MANIFESTOES. 
 
 I.— M R. GLADSTONE’S. 
 
 Mr. Gladstone’s address to his constituents was as 
 follows : — 
 
 To the Electors of Midlothian. 
 
 On the 28th of this month the mission to represent you, with which 
 you have three times honoured me, will expire, and I respectfully solicit its 
 renewal. The circumstances were arduous under which it was first con- 
 ferred in 1880 ; but the present juncture will yet more thoroughly try the 
 judgment and patriotism of the nation, for Great Britain will now have to 
 decide, together with other important issues, that which is for us the 
 question of all questions — I mean the question whether the three countries 
 are henceforth to constitute in reality, as well as by statute and in name, a 
 United Kingdom. 
 
 There never was a period in which Ire’and was so loyal to the Crown, so 
 attached to Great Britain, or so united in hearts as in the yea's follow ng 
 1782, when she enjoyed privileges of local self-government, until that con- 
 cord was disturbed, in and after 1795) by wicked machinations. For a 
 generation after the Union she slept a deadly sleep of physical misery and 
 political servitude. The victories of reform achieved in 1829 and 1832 at 
 length gave her consciousness and a voice. From that time to this her 
 heavy grievances and her battling aspirations have constituted the great 
 standing burden cf your Parliament and the chief impediment to the prose- 
 cution of its ardu.us and complicated office for Great Britain with the 
 energy which tha office demands. 
 
 On the outlines of the proposal for which the Liberal Party has unitedly 
 contended during the last six years I hope before many days are over to 
 address you. I now say it is a proposal to set both Parliament and Ireland 
 free — Ireland for the management of her own domestic affairs by a local 
 Legislature in close sympathy with Irish life, and Parliament for the work 
 of overtaking the vast arrears of business, and supplying with reasonable 
 despatch the varied legislative wants of England, Scotland, and Wales. 
 
 The constant growth of sound opinion, testified in the rjsult of a mul- 
 titude of by-elections, has shown that the British people, through time and 
 persistent discussion, now thoroughly comprehend, on the one hani, how 
 irresistible are the claims of Ireland on our honour and justice, and, on the 
 other, how the settlement of the^e claims lays open the direct road to the 
 satisfaction of British interests, too long held in suspense. 
 
 As regards the government of Ireland by the now expiring Parliament, I 
 shall contend, when I have the honour of addressing you, that it has utterly 
 failed in every respect, save one — the Ministry has enabled th; Ir'sh agri- 
 culturist to improve his condition by passing an Act in 1887, the main pro- 
 vision of which it denounced in 1886 as immoral and disho lourable By 
 that denunciation it drove the people into what was called the Pian of Cam- 
 paign, and became the true author of whatever danger or hardship it 
 produced. 
 
 Ireland, gentlemen, indignant at the broken pledges of the Tory and Dis- 
 sentient Coalition, is more than ever hostile to the methods of government 
 from Dublin Castle, once so eloquently denounced by Mr. Chamberlain ; 
 but she is calm and peaceful in her reliance upon you and the constituencies 
 of Great Britain, and the sentiments which already prevail between the 
 British and Irish peoples supply a happy omen of the reciprocal affection 
 which cannot but follow the frank concession of Home Rule, sheltered by 
 Imperial supremacy. Even in the two counties of the North, where alone 
 alarm prevails over calm reason, I do not doubt that experience will quickly 
 bring the population back to that sense of brotherhood with the test of 
 Ireland which before the Union so honourably distinguished their fathers. 
 
 The Irish Question, hitherto so obtrusive, has seemed during the exis- 
 tence of this Parliament as if it sadly distracted the consideration of British 
 wants and wishes. Yet, I notice with pleasure that there never has been a 
 period when these British wants and wi.hes gained more ground from 
 discussion, or more largely ripened and rooted themselves in the public 
 mind. They have been enumerated again and agam at the great annual 
 meeting of the Liberal Federation.. Most of them concerned the whole 
 island. Some touch the special exigencies of Scotland and of Wales, 
 where the public sense has constitutionally declared itself against 
 the maintenance of the respective religious establishments, where various 
 special needs are felt, and where, above all, it is most justly deemed a 
 grievance that, upon questions properly their own, Scotch an I Welsh 
 opinion has again and again, in defiance of Liberal effort, been overridden 
 by a majority, though I hope and believe only a temporary majority, of 
 English votes. 
 
 It is not possible to trea*: of all the important subjects acknowledged and 
 adopted by the Liberal Party at large within the limits of the present 
 addres -. There are some, however, which must not be left wholly without 
 notice. 
 
 Among the few good works of the present Parliament, a prominent 
 place must be assigned to the Acts for e-tablishing County Councils ; t ley 
 called into existence popular powers ; they recognize in part the unity of 
 London, but they leave London under a multitude of incapacities which 
 amount to serious grievances. These she has plainly indicated by her vote 
 in the late County Council election, and she will now at the General Elec- 
 tion have to determine whether she will choose to represent her in the 
 House of Commons the men who will continue them, or the men who will 
 
 do their utmost to remove them And so throughout the counties. 
 These measures, good in principle, have been marked by 
 such gross imperfections — for example, as to licensing, as to 
 police, an 1 as to subsidiary Councils capable of bringing home to the popu- 
 lation the advantages of Local Government — that the new Parliament must 
 have for a serious part of its employment the anendments absolutely neces- 
 sary in the past work of the old one. 
 
 The same regret applies in full force to the Small Holdings Bill of the 
 present Session, which the majority — and especially the Dissentient ex- 
 Liberals — would not permit us to bring up to a tolerable standard of 
 efficiency. 
 
 In this and in all like cases, gentlemen, we have accepted and made the 
 best of the little we could get, in order to raise it to a sufficiency. We look, 
 under the auspices of the electorate, to a brighter and a better day. 
 
 The last-named subject brings me within the domain of the great question! 
 of labour, and especially within that department of it which, I think, 
 presents, perhapi, the most urgent part of the whole — I mean the depart- 
 ment of rural labour. In the points, however, which are special that ques- 
 tion has within the last twelve months been so ihoroughly disci ssed that I 
 may for a moment pass on to touch some heads of the debt we owe to 
 labour in general. 
 
 These heads are, I apprehend, numerous and diversified. Among the 
 most urgent of them I place the adoption of a sound and easy system of 
 registration, such as shall practically ensure the exercise of the franchise 
 by large num >ers now excluded, but whose title Parliament has fully 
 recognized by recent Acts, and especially by the comprehensive enfranchise- 
 ments of 1884 and 1835. With registration I associate the adootion of the 
 provision pojularly known as “one man one vote.” With this I join exten- 
 sion by every moral in luence of the present too limited representation of 
 labour, the transfer to the community of the necessary charges of elections, 
 aiid the removal by legislation of the pecuniary impediments which the 
 conditions of labouring life now offer to the representation of the wage- 
 earning population by persons of the r own class and associations. By 
 measures of th s stamp we may hope to complete their political position, 
 and to render to labour the greatest of all possible services, now happily 
 approaching full attainment, by placing it in a condition to help itself. 
 
 Nor can I omit from the catalogue of necessary services to labour those 
 important changes in the liquor laws for which, even in the present Parlia- 
 ment, we have been enabled to prepare the way by the rejection of the 
 pernicious p’an proposed, and long pressed, by Ministers in 1890. We 
 shall promote not only the establishment of a representative licensing autho- 
 rity, but the grant to the people of purely local powers of option, such as 
 sha'l give them an effective voice in determining the conditions of the liquor 
 traffic, even up to the point of providing within properly constituted areas 
 for its extinction. Beyond all this, the natural and just desire for shorter 
 hours of labour which already, both by legislation and voluntary arrange- 
 meit, has obtained o" late years improved satisfaction, has during the 
 time of the present Parliament been largely developed. In that prominent 
 and important part of the subject which concerns mining labour I hop; to 
 have early opportunities of explanation or of conference with my consti- 
 tuents. 
 
 At present I only summarily say that the state of things from which we 
 have been gradually escaping was disgraceful ; that what his been achieved 
 is good ; that it constitutes in itself a promise, and even a guarantee, of future 
 progress ; and that further progress is essential to social justice and to the 
 general well-being. Let me, however, point out that the great good already 
 done is due to popular government ; that popular government is founded on 
 the just appreciation of personal liberty ; that the true strength of the 
 working class-s in particular is essentially allied with that appreciation ; 
 and that neither tyrannv nor anything approaching tyranny could ever 
 prosper in your hands. I hope and believe that by tempering our proceed- 
 ings with just and impartial reflection we may make further advances in the 
 solution of this great problem, in mitigating the hardships of life, and in 
 enlarging the opportunities of mental and moral imp r ovement. 
 
 In this address, gentlemen, long as it is, I have made no reference to the 
 important subjects of foreign policy and of finance, not because they are 
 without strong claims upon your attention, but in deference to the even 
 superior necessity now felt in a group of great political and social subjects, 
 and the sense of urgency attaching to them. 
 
 In this, the sixtieth year of my political life. I necessarily feel that this 
 must, surely, be the last General Election at which I can expect to solicit 
 vour suffrages, and that now but a small and special share can belong to me 
 in the work I have been endeavouring to sketch out. It is, then, an appro- 
 priate occasion for assuring you that I am deeply grateful for the confidence 
 which has been heretofore accorded to me by an overwhelming majority of- 
 your number, and which I humbly trust I have not forfeited ; and even 
 now, closely circumscribed as is the space before me, I trust that if your 
 minds have not changed concerning me, I may still, through the bounty of 
 the Almighty, be permitted to render you for a while imperfect but devoted 
 service. 
 
 I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, 
 
 Your grateful and faithful servant,

THE PARTY MANIFESTOES . 
 
 29 
 
 II.— LORD SALISBURY’S. 
 
 The Marquis of Salisbury’s Manifesto was as fol- 
 lows : — 
 
 To the Electors of the United Kingdom. 
 
 Gentlemen, — Before we submit to her Majesty our advice that she 
 shou’d proclaim the Dissolution of Parliament, I feel bound, under existing 
 circumstances, as a matter of respect, to place before you a brief statement 
 of the issues upon which, in my judgment, this Election turns. 
 
 Much has recently been said concerning questions of internal legisla- 
 tion. I am deeply sensible of their extreme importance. The diminution of 
 poverty, the prevention of rumous disputes in tiade, the amendment of the 
 Poor Law, the protection of the lives and health of the industrial com- 
 munity are matters of which it is not easy to exaggerate the momen- 
 tous interest. Under our existing Constitution, the working classes 
 are evidently powerful enough to obtain any measure which, upon discus- 
 sion, they generally believe will conduce to the’.r welfare. No Party will 
 have the power, or is likely to pursue the policy, of refusing to listen to 
 their unanimous wish. In respect of such measures, the present election 
 possesses a special and critical importance, principally in that it will deter- 
 mine whether Parliament is to have the power of at once grappling with 
 those questions, or whether the whole time of the next Parliament shall 
 be devoted to a struggle ever Irish Go\ernment. The policy which the 
 present Government is prepared to pursue is sufficiently indicated by the 
 course they have followed during the last six years. They have practically 
 shown that they have no aversion to change, if it is shown to be required 
 by the welfare of the people, but they have rever forgotten that stability 
 and confidence are essential to the life of industry. Such reforms as the 
 establishment of local government in Great Britain, the gift of grat uitous 
 education, the relief of chronic suffering in Ireland, are measures of more 
 extensive social influence than any that have been passed in this country for 
 many years ; they have been effective in their operation, yet they have 
 passed with little resistance ; they committed no injustice, and have left no 
 resentment behind them. 
 
 This Session one of the most difficult problems of Irish education has 
 been solved by a measure wnich has received general assent. We shall be 
 animated by a similar spirit in dealing with the large controversies that are 
 opening out before us, the re ations of labour to capital, the laws which 
 control the acquisition of land, provisions by which poverty may be 
 diminished, and its sufferings rendered less acute. A sound system of 
 finance, based on a pacific policy, has enabled us to mitigate taxation, to 
 deal effectively with difficult social questions, and to provide for the Fleet 
 and armaments of the country a material strength which they never 
 possessed before, but which, in the community of armed nations which 
 surround us, is net greater than our need. Similar aims and a similar 
 policy will guide us in the future. 
 
 But there is one interest to which this Election is, above all others, vital. 
 It is the interest of a large portion of the Irish people, who are threatened 
 in effect with separation irom Great Britain. To them this el-ction is of 
 terrible importance. On your votes during the next two or three weeks 
 will depend whether it will be to them a message of hope or a sentence 
 of ser\itude and ruin. Other questions are not burning as this is; upon 
 other matters, if mistakes are made }hey can be repaired, and remedial 
 measures, if they are inadequate, can be strengthened and made fuller later 
 on. But for the loyal minority of Ireland the cris's is supreme. A wrong 
 decision now means for them the certainty of bitter and protracted struggle, 
 culminating probably in civil war, and, it may be, ultimate condemnation 
 to the doom which they dread beyond any other fate — the subjection of 
 their prosperity, their industry, their religion, their lives, to the absolute 
 mastery of their. ancient and unchanging enemies. 
 
 I should not be discharging my duty if I did not, before you go to this 
 Election, join my voice to that of others to implore you to pause before 
 you decide to reverse the policy of centuries, by casting o it of your protec- 
 tion the men of Ulster and the other loyal men in Ireland. 
 
 We do not, indeed, know the details of the revolution that is proposed. 
 They have been carefully concealed from us up to this time ; perhaps they 
 will be produced whei the opportunity for criticism has passed by. 
 We do not know the precise designation and appearance of the 
 hollow and fragile securities which will, no doubt, be offered in 
 order to allay your fears, and to hide the wrong which is 
 being done. They will serve to hinder the world from seeing 
 the full cruelty of this abandonment, though they will certainly hinder 
 nothing else. But though, up to the time of my writing, we are ignorant 
 of the det?i s of the projected plan, we know what its broad features must 
 be. It must be the abandonment of the loyalists of Ireland, and especially 
 of the Protestants of Ulster, to the unrestrained and absolute power of 
 
 those with whom they have been in conflict for centuries ; of the men, and 
 the followers of the men, whose crimes were denounced before the whole 
 world by the judgment of impartial J udges sitting in the Special Com- 
 mission. 
 
 Ireland, we have been informed, is to be governed by an Irish Parlia- 
 ment ruling through Irish Ministers. They deceive you grossly who tell you 
 that this is a restoration of the form of government which was abolished! 
 at the Union. During the seven centuries through which the two islandis 
 have been connected, no such government has ever existed in Ireland. 
 Never until now has any British Statesman pretended that Ireland could 
 be governed on such a plan. For generations the Irish population has been 
 divided into two sections, between whom a bitter antipathy has prevailed!, 
 It is due to historical causes, to struggles that have endured through 
 centuries, to differences of origin and of race ; and it is acutely aggravated! 
 by differences of religion. With whichever section we may sympathise, it 
 is flagrantly unjust to make either of these sections the absolute master of 
 the other. They must be governed as part of a larger system, in which 
 their antagonism can be controlled by mere impartial associates. But an 
 Irish Parliament, governing through Ministers dependent upon it, must 
 give over the smaller of these two intensely hostile sections to the unre- 
 strained despotism of the larger. The Loyalists are the smaller section. 
 They are also the more industrious, the more prosperous, the more 
 exposed of the two to unjust taxation and predatory legislation. They 
 are linked to Englishmen and Scotchmen by many ties of similarity and 
 kinship, by many common efforts and ommon sufferings in the past. There 
 would be no risk whatever of their being abandoned now by you, if the- 
 danger in which they stand could be brought home to your minds. But the 
 prophets who say “ Peace ” where there is no peace are exhausting every’ 
 effort to mi dead you. The danger is denied. It is said that the antagonism 
 of the Nationalist Party is an imagination, and that the men who worked 
 the Land League and the Plan ot Campaign, and whose methods of govern- 
 ment have been notorious for the last fifteen years, would be the most 
 tolerant, the most honest, and the most high-principled of rulers. 
 
 To us such a contention seems ridiculous. But it is not a question what 
 one party or the other in this island may say. What do the men say whose 
 fate isi n the balance — whose whole future existence is at stake ? Do they 
 ignore or deride the danger ? The Belfast and Dublin Conventions have 
 shown to all who are not wilfully deaf that the Loyalists of Ireland enter- 
 tain no illusion as to the character and policy of an Irish Parliament ruling 
 through Irish Ministers. We have the testimony of Loyalists of every rank, 
 gathered from every part of Ireland (not from “two northern counties,” as 
 we are told), imploring you in accents of passionate earnestness to secure 
 them from the fate which Party strategy of English politicians is preparing 
 for them. They represent no isolated or sectional interest. Land-owners 
 and tenants, cultivators and traders, men of the world and ministers cF 
 religion, speak with one voice in assuring you that the perils they see before 
 them are not imagit ary. They speak of that they do know. It cannot 
 be pretended tha': their judgement is biassed by any per tv feeling. When 
 Presbyterians, Wesleyans, Baptists, join wife, members of the Disestabliscd! 
 Church and with many Roman Catholics— eight out of every 
 nine of the non-episcopal ministers have signed their names to the 
 stirring appeal for succour which they have addressed to you — it is an 
 audacious mockery to tell you that their entreaties have been prompted and 
 arranged by the cunning of some Conservative organization. When there 
 is such a striking unanimity among those who agree in little else, but who 
 are ahke in this, that they alone know, by the knowledge of long intimate 
 personal experience, what manner of men they are under whose feet you 
 would place them, what kind of subjection you are forging for them, yen 
 cannot refuse credence to the witness of their bitter cry, or throw a doubt 
 on the sincerity of their prayers. 
 
 It is for you to determine whether this rash experiment, this dangerous- 
 novelty, shall be tried. We have shown by experience that under the 
 existing system Ireland can be maintained in peace and order ; that under a 
 steady governme nt the interests of all classes have been protected, and con- 
 fidence and prosperity and progress have returned. You are asked to- 
 shatter these results ; to try in Ireland a mode of government which has 
 never been tried before, but whose working many sinister memories in this 
 and other lands will help us to forecast ; and for this purpose to subjugate 
 the people who are bound most closely by history and kinship to the 
 inhabitants of Great Britain, and to fasten on their necks a yoke which 
 they abhor. I pray that you may be guided to shrink from this greaS 
 outrage on liberty, on gratitude, and on good faith. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 SALISBURY,

 RULES FOR ADMISSION OF STRANGERS TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. 
 
 (THE HOUSE DOES NOT USUALLY SIT ON SATURDAYS.) 
 
 When an honourable member tells his constituents that they 
 may relay upon their local interests being safe in his keeping, 
 it is well understood that he means two things — first that he 
 will subscribe to their local charities, and secondly that he will 
 procure them tickets for the House. It should, however, be 
 'borne in mind that the accommodation for strangers is more 
 limited even than a member’s purse. Formerly members used 
 to issue tickets for the Strangers’ Gallery in wholesale fashion, 
 sand at times inspector Denning (who has now retired and 
 been replaced by Inspector Horsley) has had to conduct a 
 ballot for seats in which 500 persons have participated ; but under 
 the new regulations only as many tickets are issued for a given 
 day as there are seats. A stranger desirous of attending a sit- 
 ting of the House applies, by letter or personally, to a member 
 ■of the blouse, signifying the day for which he desires the ticket 
 •of admission, and the Gallery (Strangers’ or Speaker’s) in which 
 he prefers to sit. There are 65 seats in the Strangers’ and 
 42 in the Speaker’s Gallery. These tickets are obtained by the 
 members from the authorities of the House, who have to be 
 furnished by the member with the name and address of the 
 applicant, which are entered in a book. Persons provided 
 with tickets of admission to the S dangers’ Gallery assemble 
 in St. Stephen’s Hall at a quarter to three o’clock on ordinary 
 
 days and at a quarter to twelve on Wednesdays, taking a seat 
 on the benches running along the north side of the Hall. After 
 prayers, these ticket-holders are conducted in batches by the 
 police through thi Central and Inner Lobbies into the Strangers’ 
 Gallery. Possessors of tickets for the Speaker’s Gallery 
 assemble at a quarter to three o’clock on the west side of the 
 Central Lobby, next to the rails protecting the appoach to the 
 corridor leading to the Inner Lobby, and on their exhibiting 
 their tickets to the policeman on duty, they are passed 
 on into the Inner Lobby, whence they enter the gallery 
 by a door to the east of the entrance to the House. 
 On entering either the Speaker’s or Strangers’ Gallery, the 
 ticket-holder has to enter his name and address in a book, 
 which is compared with the name and address given by the 
 M.P. issuing the ticket. Except in times when interest in the 
 sittings is widespread, strangers who have failed to obtain 
 tickets in the ordinary course may often obtain admittance to 
 one or other of the galleries by sending on their card or a note 
 to a member, from the Central Lobby. Ladies obtain tickets 
 for the Ladies’ Gallery by writing in the same way to a member ; 
 but they generally obtain admittance to the House by a door in 
 the vicinity of the members’ private entrance to the House, 
 which is approached from Palace-yard.

 The House of Commons, 1892. 
 
 P ARTICULARS will be found in the following pages 
 of the polling, at the General Election of 1892, in 
 each of the 643 constituencies in the United Kingdom, 
 together with biographical notices of the members. 
 The constituencies are arranged throughout in alpha- 
 betical order. Particulars are also given, under the 
 .several constituencies, of the results of the elections 
 <of 1885 and 1886, as well as of all the by-elections. 
 
 The figures of the Electorates are taken from the 
 latest Parliamentary Return. 
 
 For the photographs Trom which the portraits of 
 members have been executed, we are in many cases 
 indebted to the members themselves. _ We have 
 .also to express our obligations to various photo- 
 graphers, and more particularly to Messrs. Russell 
 and Sons and Messrs. Elliott and Fry, both of Baker- 
 street, W., Messrs. Fradelle and Young and the London 
 Stereoscopic Company (both of Regent-street, W.), 
 Mr. William Lawrence (of Dublin), Mr. Lafayette 
 (of Dublin), Mr. Bassano (of Old Bond-street, W.), 
 Mr. John Edwards (of Park-side, W.), Messrs. Walery 
 (of Regent-street, W.), Messrs. Marell and Fox (of 
 Piccadilly, W.), and Mr. Franz Baum (of Old Bond- 
 
 street, W.) have also supplied us with copies ot 
 members’ photographs. 
 
 It may not be uninteresting to state that the 
 number ol new members in the new House of 
 Commons is 217, of whom 102 are Liberals, 75 
 Conservatives, 11 Liberal Unionists, and 28 Nation- 
 alists, while 1 is a Parnellite. A few of these 
 “ new ” members (that is, members not in the Parlia- 
 ment of 1886-92) sat in previous Parliaments. In 1885, 
 we may add, there were 333 new members, and in 
 1886, 140. Among the more familiar faces which will be 
 missed, for a time at least, in the new Parliament we 
 may mention : — Mr. Broadhurst, Sir Horace Davey, 
 Mr. Harry Lawson, Mr. Philip Stanhope, and Sir 
 John Swinburne [Liberals ) ; Sir Edward Birkbeck, Sir 
 George Elliot, Sir Charles Hall, Mr. Walter Long, Mr. 
 Ritchie, Sir Henry Tyler, and Lord Weymouth ( Con- 
 servatives ); Lord Baring, Mr. Richard Chamberlain, 
 Sir Henry Havelock-Allan, Mr. Heneage, and Colonel 
 Cornwallis-West ( Liberal Unionists ); Mr. J. Huntly 
 McCarthy, Mr. E. Harrington, Mr. Harrison (“ the Strip- 
 ling ”), Mr. John O’Connor (“ Long John ”), Mr. W. A. 
 Macdonald (the blind member), and Sir Joseph McKenna.

 Mr. Wm. A. Hunter is well known as an advanced 
 Radical, ex-Professor of Roman Law at the Univer- 
 sity of London, and 
 until recently editor of 
 the Weekly Dispatch. 
 He is Lecturer upon 
 Roman Law in the 
 Middle Temple, and 
 has written an able 
 work upon his subject 
 which has become the 
 standard volume among 
 law students. He has 
 taken a prominent posi- 
 tion upon the Railway 
 Rates question, and to 
 Dr. Hunter is largely 
 due the credit of 
 securing free educatien 
 for Scotland. One of 
 Ids passions is that of figures, and he marshals 
 'his statistical statements with great skill. In the 
 late Parliament he largelv identified him- 
 self with the subiect of old-age pensions, and 
 is supposed to have been Mr. Chamber- 
 lain’s mentor and instructor on this subject. 
 He is a native of Aberdeen, and was educated 
 at the Grammar School and University of that 
 city. He is 48. He remains a Scot, wholly un- 
 corrupted bv intercourse with the Southron.

 Mr. Bryce is a very distinguished Oxford man, 
 a Scholar of Trinity, Fellow of Oriel, and a prize- 
 man to any extent. It 
 was an “ Arnold ” prize 
 essay that was subse- 
 quently expanded into 
 the book which made 
 Mr. Bryce’s reputation, 
 “ The Holy Roman Em- 
 pire.” He is Professor 
 of Civil Law at Oxford, 
 and entered the House 
 after the General Election 
 of 1880 as member for 
 the Tower Hamlets. The 
 speeches which he was 
 able to deliver to the 
 German electors in their 
 own tongue made some 
 stir at the time. Mr. 
 Bryce soon made a 
 position for himself in 
 the House, and w^s 
 offered the post of Legal Adviser to the Council 
 
 of India, which was accented by Mr. Ilbert, and 
 wanted (if report sneak true) by Sir W. Marriott. 
 Subsequently Mr. Bryce has been best known in 
 the political way for the keen eye he has always 
 kept open for attacks on “ open spaces,” and for 
 his plucky and successful efforts to pilot the 
 
 “ Infants Bill” through the House. He also did 
 an excellent piece of work in passing the City of 
 London Parochial Charities Act after three years’ 
 fighting, and he has found time withal to write 
 another standard work, on the American 
 Republic. No wonder he seems always in a 
 hurry as he trips rapidlv across the lobby. 
 Opinions differ as to whether he is as good a 
 member of Parliament as he is man of letters ; but 
 he always speaks with authority and knowledge, 
 and has pulverized Mr. Chamberlain for -his 
 references to the American Constitution. He 
 moves with characteristic Scotch caution, but 
 always in a forward direction, and in spite 
 of Mr. Champion’s opposition to him in 
 Aberdeen he may be reckoned a good Radi- 
 cal. He favours the limitation of hours by 
 trade option, and has latterly devoted himself with 
 great zeal to his Access to Mountains (Scotland) 
 
 t Sat in some previous Parliament.

 Peter,” as his fellow-townsmen in the granite 
 city and his constituents in the county love to call 
 Mr. Peter Esslemont, is a merchant in Aberdeen — 
 senior partner in the 
 firm of Esslemont and 
 Mackin tosh — a farmer’s 
 son, and was educated 
 at a parish school. For 
 many years he took an. 
 active part in public 
 affairs in Aberdeen, 
 and did good sen ice. 
 Has been Bai'ie, Lord 
 Provost, and President 
 of the Chamber of Com- 
 merce, and is a direc- 
 tor of various loctl and 
 other companies. The 
 acceleration of the mail 
 and tail wav services 
 which has taken place 
 in recent years to the 
 Far North is largely due toMr. Esslemont’s efforts, 
 and his fellow-citizens and friends in the county 
 some time ago had his taortrait painted by the 
 present President of the Scottish Academy, and it 
 now adorns the walls of the Aberdeen Town Hall. 
 Is a ready speaker, and manages usually to t arn 
 the laugh against the hecklers who abound in 
 his constituency. Knows all about farming and 
 fishing ; with which industries the bulk of his sup- 
 porters are mainly concerned. Is a U.P. ; ai d 
 some yta-s ago, when Provost of Aberdeen, dtu 
 not turn up, it is said, at the “ Kirking of the 
 Council.” Whereupon a wag reported that the 
 Rev Mitfcr J Mitchell, the auld Kirk minister,

 Colonel Edward James Saunderson is a renegade: 
 — “ a former Liberal from Cavan (which he repre-

 to depend almost exclusively on the Orange fife 
 and drum.” He served for some time in the 
 Royal Irish Fusiliers, but of Lte years he has 
 been stronger with the tongue than with the sword 
 
35 
 
 His invective wants polish, hut it is amusing, and 
 it always fills the House. The collapse of Pigott 
 drove him from his first 
 and favourite line of 
 attack, but he returns to 
 the charge under the 
 odflamrne of Dr. Kane. 
 He is for the Tories a 
 kind of Sir William 
 Harcourt and Sir Wil- 
 frid Lawson in one, and 
 has a vast knowledge 
 of Mr. Gladstone’s old 
 speeches. The House 
 enjovs him hugely, but 
 declines to take him 
 Col. Saunderson. seriously. When not 
 Ulsterical, his friends 
 say that he is a capital good fellow, and in spite 
 of the epithets which he hurls at their heads even 
 the Nationalists have a sneaking kindness for him.

 “John Burns” — for nolo’y knows him as 
 “ Mr.” — is the very beau ideal of the le;t kind of 
 British artizan ; 
 strong in build, in- 
 deperdent in charac- 
 ter, hearty in man- 
 ner, and intelligent 
 in mind. his 
 fists are as hard 
 as his head, and his 
 vbice as strong as 
 his op'n’ons. Both 
 have stcod him ii 
 excellent stead in 
 n any an encounter 
 on behalf of “the 
 rights of the people.” 
 His knowledge of 
 the law is extensive 
 and peculiar, a; 
 he has been before 
 the magistrates s x 
 or seven times for 
 defending the right 
 of meeting on Clapham and Wands- 
 worth Commons. In 1806 he was tried (and 
 acquitted) for seditious conspiracy, in company 
 with Mr. Hyndtran; and more recently he stood 
 by Mr. Cun nghame Graham in “the battle of 
 ihe Square.” John Burns, who is a man of 
 varied knowledge ar.d considerable culture, had

 Murray. 
 
 little “schooing,” and owes his education 
 to burning the midnight oil after ten hours’ 
 work in a factory, ar.d reading books that 
 th; price of many a meal has purchased. 
 He has, however, seen many foreign countries 
 in the course of his trade as an engineer, 
 and picked up much information thereby. “When 
 ten years old he spent ten months in a cotton- 
 maker’s factory, when twelve he was a page boy 
 in buttons : as soon as he was in his teens he was 
 an apprenticed engineer, and as soon as he was out 
 of his teens he became a journeyman in full wages, 
 and a working engineer he has continued ever since. 
 But an engineer in his t a le' comes across many 
 people in many lands, and Burr.s saw something 
 in foreign parts when, for a year, he was foreman 
 engineer on a steamtr on the Niger. It was in 
 Western Airica that he did two things cl a'aiter- 
 istic of the man. Whil e on the sick list he plunged 
 into the river, and saved a fellow-man from drown- 
 ing at the imminent risk of his own life ; and 
 it was upon the Niger that he picked np an old 
 copy of Adam Smith’s ‘Wealth of Nations,’ 
 which had apparently been abandoned by some 
 missionary.” (Mr. Stead's “Guide to the London 
 County Council Election, 1892.”) Burns polled 
 600 votes at Nottingham Parliamentary election in 
 1885, ran George Shiptcn c’o;e for the presidency 
 of the late International Congress, and is new on 
 the Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society 
 of Engineers. He is a skater as well as Socialist, 
 and a total abstainer and a non-smoker as 
 well as a fiery speaker. In all his public work 
 Burns hes received splendid support from his 
 brave and charming wife. Though a Scotchman 
 by descent— his father was of the same Ayrshire 
 stock as the poet — Burns was born in London, and 
 he has done good work for his native city. 
 He was the only representative of Labour on the 
 first London Parliament. He is only thirty-four ; 
 but his hard work on the Council has aged him a 
 good deal, and streaked his black hair with grey.

 Mr. Samuel Whitbread has sat continuously for 
 Bedford for the last forty years. He is a grandson 
 of the well-known 
 politician of the 
 same name, and 
 is one of those 
 Parliament men 
 who are much 
 better known in- 
 side the House 
 than out. Few 
 men who have 
 been so long in 
 public life are so 
 little known out- 
 side (except, of 
 course, as “ Whit- 
 bread’s Entire ”) ; 
 hardly one is more 
 of an authority 
 inside, where he 
 stands for every- 
 thing in the Libe- 
 ral party that is re- 
 presented by such 
 phrases as “good, sound common sense,” and 
 “judicious moderation;’’ hence his support of 
 the Home Rule Bill in 1886 was considered a 
 great feather in the Gladstonian cap, and his 
 speech was extensively circulated. It was a 
 proposal of his which gave Mr. Gladstone the 
 opportunity of reconsidering his attitude on the 
 expulsion of the IrNh members under the 
 Home Rule Bill. The Times , at a loss for 
 a sneer for him during _ the “ Times and 
 Crimes ” debates, dubbed him the “ vir pietate 
 gravis of the Gladstonian party.” He is 
 naturally a great authority on procedure, and 
 is always heard with respect on questions of 
 new rules or old precedents. He was educated 
 at Rugby and Cambridge. Like most brewers, 
 he married a lord’s daughter (Lady Isabella 
 Pelham, daughter of the Earl of Chichester). This 
 was in 1855. He was private secretary lo Sir

 Mr. George William Erskine Russell is a nephew 
 of the great “ Lord John,” whose Liberal traditions 
 he inherits ; with a 
 happy freedom, how- 
 ever, from that hauteur 
 and frigidity which 
 made Lord John, 
 though politically 
 popular, yet not per- 
 sonally beloved of the 
 common people. Mr. 
 Russell, who is 39, arid 
 who was educated a: 
 Harrow and University 
 College, Oxford, has 
 long been considered 
 one of the “ risingest ” 
 young men on the 
 Liberal side — as was 
 sufficiently demon- 
 strated by his appoint- 
 ment, when he was only 30, to the post of 
 .Parliamentary Secretary to ih : Local Government 
 Board. He is a man of genial manners and con- 
 siderable wit. He is also a bit of a gossip and a 
 quidnunc, and his hand may often be traced in the 
 “ London Letter ” of the Manchester Guardian. 
 His hfe of Mr. Gladstone in the “Queen’s Prime 
 Ministers Series” was an excellent book. Mr. 
 
 Russell is a'so a man of many enthus : asms and 
 strong convictions— a side of him which came out in 
 his election address, where he describes his politics 
 as being part of his re igion. Mr. Russell has not 
 of late years enjoyed very robust hea'th ; but his 
 uncle for that matter was so delicate that the (ami y 
 physician expected his first Ses-ion to kill him, yet 
 he lived to laugh at the prediction for three score 
 years. Mr. Gtorge Russell has already been 
 through one Parliament, and isal&o an alderman of 
 the London County Com.il.

 Mr. George Howell is not noted in the Lobby 
 for amiability or suavity, and there have been 
 episodes in his 
 career which, how- 
 ever we may re- 
 gard them in a 
 spirit of charity, 
 have merited 
 criticism. But at 
 this election there 
 was from many 
 quarters an honest 
 rally to him, in 
 memory of his 
 past services to 
 Labour and Liber- 
 alism. Whatever 
 may be Mr. 
 Howell’s idiosyn- 
 crasies, there is no 
 mistaking the sub- 
 stantiality and gra- 
 titude- compelling 
 character of his “record.” Influential member 
 of the International Association ; secretary 
 of the historic Reform League ; leader in the 
 County Franchise agitation ; ex-secretary ■ to 
 the London Trades Council ; ex-secretary to the 
 Parliamentary Committee of the Trades Congress; 
 secretary to the Plimsoll agitation ; active leader 
 of the movement, for the codification of the 
 Statutes ; historian of the Labour move- 
 ment — what service could Mr. Hairy Marks put 
 in comparison with such a catalogue as this ? 
 Mr. Howell came to London as a bricklayer from 
 Bristol, a lad of eighteen ; and he first acquired 
 position and influence among his fellow-wcrkmen 
 
 Mr. George Howell. 
 
 during the continuance of the great strike and lock- 
 out in the London building trades in 1859-60. 
 During his earlier service in Parliament, Mr. 
 Howell was a coal-agent ; afterwards, he tasted, 
 for a brief period, the sw eets and bitters of a City 
 connection ; and now he has betaken himself to 
 journalism. He is 59.

 Mr. Edward Hare Pickersgill, barrister (Inner

 was born in 1850. 
 
 He was educated at 
 York Grammar 
 School and gradu- 
 ated at the Univer- 
 sity of London. Mr. 
 
 Pickersgill was for- 
 merly a second class 
 clerk in the Post 
 Office Savings Bank, 
 an appointment he 
 was driven by Lord 
 John Manners to 
 resign when the 
 Liberals of Bethnal- 
 green invited him 
 in 1885 to become 
 their candidate. The 
 hon. member was a 
 dozen years ago a 
 leading member of 
 
 ihe principal debating-society in the district, aud, 
 being of a literary turn of mind, especially addicted 
 to Shakspeare, he has rendered much help to 
 working men’s clubs and institutes in London. 
 For several years past he has taken a deep interest 
 in Hackney Dolitics, and at the last election he 
 was triumphantly returned as a Progressive 
 member of the County Council. In the House he 
 is one of the most active of metropolitan members. 
 He championed the “Police for the People” 
 movement in the day of small things.

 this election Mr. 
 
 Bright was supported 
 by the Tories ; but 
 twenty years ago, 
 when he made his 
 political debut at 
 Rochdale, the Tories 
 denounced him for 
 his “ tap-room style 
 of invective. ” I f Mr. 
 
 Bright ever had this 
 style, he long since 
 ceased to cultivate 
 it ; and the only 
 piquancy in his elec- 
 tion was due to his 
 stepping into his 
 father’s shoes by the 
 aid of those who denounced much that his father 
 most cared for. Mr. Bright, who is 44 years of age 
 was educated at University College, London.

 Mr. W. Kenrick, who was born in 1831, is married

 Kenrick. He is, of 
 course, therefore, a

 Chamberlain’s political 
 family. Mr. Kenrick is 
 the son of a hollow- ware 
 manufacturer at West 
 Bromwich, in whose 
 business he subsequently 
 became a partner. He 
 was educated at aprivate

 If not actually a Chamberlain by blood, Mr. 
 Powell Williams yet ranks as one of the Bir-

 Mr. Chamberlain are very intimate, and he is sup- 
 posed on more than one occasion to have acted as 
 “ ghost ” to the right hon. gentleman, as when 
 the article on “The Radical Programme” was 
 put forth in 1884, cr when some of the numerous 
 Chamberlain plans for the settlement of the Irish 
 question have appeared in the Birmingham Poit. 
 He was elected a member of the town council in 
 1877, and succeeded Mr. Richard Chamberlain 
 as chairman of the finance committee two years 
 later. Mr. Williams (who is in business in Bir- 
 mingham) was born in 1840, and educated at the

 office as Home Secretary, was unopposed. 
 
 Threatened men live long, and Mr. Matthews, 
 who was at one time the best abused man in Lord 
 Salisbury’s Cabinet, 
 has emerged from his 
 six years of office with 
 a much better reputa- 
 tion than seemed at all 
 probable. As a debater 
 he is not a success ; 
 and Lord Randolph 
 Churchill, whose pro- 
 t6g6 he was, was the 
 first to turn and rend 
 him for his betise in 
 the Cass case. In the 
 Trafalgar-square busi- 
 ness Mr. Matthews was 
 sufficiently maladroit 
 to disgust every party 
 Rt. Hon. H. Matthews, to the controversy in 
 turn. All this shows 
 what a very bad statesman a very good lawyer 
 may make. For at the bar Mr. Matthews was a dis- 
 tinguished man. He was born in Ceylon (where 
 his father was a judge), graduated at two 
 universities (Paris and London), and obtained 
 an excellent practice at the bar (he is a bencher 
 of Lincoln's Inn). He has been engaged in several 
 big things, including the Home case, the 
 Tichborne _ case, the Epping Forest case, and 
 the notorious Crawford divorce case, in 
 which he made _ one of the most powerful 
 harangues ever heard in a court of justice. 
 Mr. Matthews, is a cheery, rubicund man of 
 65, and of elastic principles. He was first a Home 
 Ruler, but afterwards appeared as a Conservative, 
 and thrice unsuccessfully contested Dungarvan, for 
 which borough. he sat 1868-1874. He is a Roman 
 Catholic. He indulges in gesture.

 The past six years have been’ a warm time fcr 
 Mr. Joseph Chamberlain. If, as Sir William 
 Harcourt said, he 
 is extinct as a bogey 
 i* he is stili very much 
 
 alive in other res- 
 pects, and Liberals

 ]\ ) only . about him 
 
 * ^ ' remains constant— 
 
 he is still the best- 
 hated man in public 
 Buy hfe, and to do him 
 
 justice he returns 
 the hatred with 
 interest Six years 
 ago, he was not far 
 T _ from salvation, as 
 
 Rt. Hon. J. Chamberlain. t h e Gladstooians 
 count it — indeed, 
 has he not told us that he “ was a Home Ruler 
 long before Mr. Gladstone ” ? — but his alliance with 
 the gentlemen of England has confirmed his back- 
 
 sliding, and to-day he moves in the highest circles, 
 and “ neither desires nor looks for reunion ” with 
 his friends of former days. For the last four 
 years he has been a universal provider of argu- 
 ments and epithets for the use of his new allies, 
 and he is now convinced that the Tory party is the 
 party of social reform, and that there are no 
 “messes ” like Gladstonian messes. But his chief 
 pleasure has been in denouncing Irish members : 
 “Kept party,” “paid hirelings,” “foreign con- 
 spiracy,” “ allies of murderers and assassins,” 
 these and equally elegant phrases have bristled 
 through his speeches of the last four years. On 
 one question only does he occasionally relapse into 
 his old self — and that is the disestablishment of 
 the Church. He caused immense amusement 
 to his opponents and much discomfiture to 
 his friends by a-suring the Welsh people that if 
 they wished for disestablishment they must vote 
 for Lord Salisbury — a view which was promptly 
 repudiated by the Tory journals. When Lord 
 Hartington was moved to “another place,” Mr. 
 Chamberlain was chosen leader of the Dissentient 
 Liberals in the House of Commons. The choice 
 was inevitable ; for no member of the party has a 
 tithe of his skill in debate, and there is no one 
 else whose leadership he would brook. His 
 speeches are capital sport, and it is his principle to 
 carry the war with the utmost audacity into 
 the enemy’s camp. Whan he takes the defen- 
 sive, he shows, as Mr. Gladstone once said, 
 “ an infinite ingenuity in finding circuitous reasons 
 for shrinking from his former principles.” When 
 all is said, his worst enemy must admit that he is 
 a more important person at the present moment 
 than six years ago, and he remains the most 
 striking instance of a prophet who has honour in 
 his own country. It must be added that he has 
 had a score of plans during the last six years for 
 the settlement of all Irish questions, and that he 
 has produced a highly impossible old-age pension 
 scheme. He has recently married for the third 
 time— his wife, on this occasion, being an American, 
 Miss Endito.t. He is 56 years of age.

 The sublime and the ridiculous were never more 
 touchingly combined than in the devotion of Mr. 
 Jesse Ceilings 
 during the late 
 Pari ia ment 
 to his friend 
 and patron 
 
 Mr. Chamber- 
 lain. How he 
 waited on the 
 great mans 
 lips, how 
 hugely he 
 enjoyed his 
 scores, what 
 mute sympathy 
 his face ex- 
 pressed on 
 
 those occa- 
 sions when the 
 G. O. M. 
 
 romped in and 
 
 tossed his hero 
 from one horn Mr. Jes^e Collings. 
 to the other, 
 
 and finally pitched him over his back. Mr. Cham- 
 berlain, to do him justice, repays affection with 
 affection, and there is rarely a speech of his in 
 which he does not remind the public how Mr. 
 Gladstone rode into power on Jesse's back 
 
 and then so basely deserted him. If there 
 
 is any one whom Mr. Collings now admires 
 (after Mr Chamberlain) it is Mr. Chaplin, 
 whose Chaolincies (even without the blessed 
 principle of compu’sion) he regards as the 
 hi^h st possible effort of human genius. During 
 the past six years Mr. Collings s record has been 
 one of humble service to these two great men. 
 But it must not be forgotten that he enjoys the 
 
 lank of an ex-Ministsr and that in 1885 he was 
 appointed — at a reduced salary, to which some 
 critics attribute the honourable member's reduced 
 opinion of Mr. Gladstone — Under Secretary at the 
 Local Government Board. He was, however, 
 deprived of the luxury of resigning with his 
 chief, for two months later he was unseated on 
 petition for bribery by one of his agents at 
 Ipswich. Mr. Jesse Collings is 61, and springs, 
 through his mother, from the ranks of agricultural 
 labourers. He was born in 1831, and served a 
 long and very useful municipal apprenticeship, 
 and, apart from all recent controversies, has done 
 really useful service by pegging away at the 
 grievances of the agricultural labourer.

 Mr. George Dixon, who is a member of the 
 Birmingham, returned 
 to parliamentary life 
 in 1885, after a volun- 
 tary absence of eight 
 years. He took a lead- 
 ing part in the inter- 
 ests of “the League” 
 programme in the 
 education controversy 
 which accompanied the 
 fortunes of Mr. For- 
 ster's Education Bill 
 and he has been for a 
 number of years chair- 
 man of the Birming- 
 ham school board. He 
 was mayor of the town 
 in 1865, and has been 
 president of the Liberal 
 Association. He is one 
 of Mr. Chamberlain’s 
 loyal servitois, but his 
 views seem to approximate more nearly to Mr. 
 Bright’s. He is in favour, that is, of going on the 
 old lines, and is convinced that philanthropic 
 English politicians must necessarily be better 
 judges of what is good for Ireland, than the Irish 
 themselves. Mr. Dixon was educated at Leeds 
 Grammar School, is 72, and a widower. No other 
 member of the Birmingham group commands such 
 general respect, and the absence of opposition to 
 him at this election was in the main a tribute to 
 his personal character.

 Mr. William Henry Hornby is a Tory by birth 
 and breeding. His father represented Blackburn 
 for many years, and his 
 brother followed when 
 his father retired to his 
 Cheshire retreat. T he 
 Hornbys have long been 
 connected with the 
 borough, and own large 
 cotton mills, in which 
 they employ hundreds 
 of workmen. But the

 have done even better

 rather than the greatest 
 Mr. W. H. Hornby, statesman who ever

 owed much of his popularity to his brother’s grey-

 their brother’s fame in the cricket field. Mr. A. N. 
 Hornby would be at the head of any poll that was 
 ever taken in Blackburn. Mr. W. H. Hornby,

 Mr. George John Shaw-Lefevre, the hero of 
 Loughrea and champion of Lord Clanricarde’s 
 tenants, is the son of a 
 Clerk of Parliaments, and 
 the nephew of a Speaker 
 (Viscount Eversley), and 
 was predestined, if ever 
 a man was, for parlia- 
 mentary and official life. 
 And few men, it may be 
 at once added, have 
 justified the doctrine of 
 predestination more com- 
 pletely. He is not old, 
 as politicians go (bom in 
 1832), but he lias already 
 held six different ad- 
 ministrative posts. Of 
 all . these the one in 
 which he scored the 
 greatest success, and by 
 which he will be best 
 „ r remembered, is the Chief 
 
 Mr. Sh.UV-Lefevre. Commissionership of 
 Works (1880-1884). If 
 any one wants to know what Mr. Shaw- 
 Lefevre has done, let him be taken to West- 
 minster or Piccadilly and told, Si monn - 
 mentum queer is, circumspice. Mr. Shaw-Lefevte 
 has had a share, however, in other more important 
 if less conspicuous public works. He served during 
 the years 1880-85 on several Cabinet Committees to 
 which some of the most important of Mr. Glad- 
 stone’s measures were referred — among them the 
 Irish Land Act, the Irish Arrears Act. the Agri- 
 cultural Holdings Act, and the Redistribution 
 Act. In the late Parliament he devoted himself 
 to the Irish question with the zeal of a true Glad- 
 
 stonian and has been full of facts and figures for 
 the confutation of Mr. Balfour. The length of 
 his speeches is apt to be in inverse ratio to the 
 numbers who wait upon his lips in the House of 
 Commons, but he always has something to say, 
 and more gifted oratcr; are known to sigh for his 
 capacity of getting at the facts. Mr. Shaw- 
 Lefevre was educated at Eton and Trinity, Cam- 
 bridge, and is a bencher of the Inner Temple. 
 
 He represented Reading from 1865 to 1885. 
 
 He is almost as fond of statistics as Mr. 
 Goschen, and has written several useful books of a 
 solid and instructive order on the Land question, 
 Irish and English. Mr. Shaw-Lefevre married a 
 daughter of the third Earl of Ducie. He re- 
 signed not long ago his pension as an ex- 
 Minister, and is said to be the only man, alive 
 or dead, who has ever, having once got a pen- 
 sion, voluntarily given it up. He is an enthu- 
 siast for Open Spaces, and more than one Common 
 owes its preservation to him.

 Mr. William Sproston Caine not only returns to

 with him in 
 the shape of 
 a seat 
 wrested from 
 the enemy. 
 
 It took Mr. 
 
 Caine 
 several 
 years to 
 ‘‘find salva- 
 tion,” but 
 the combi- 
 nation of 
 Coercion 
 and Corn- 
 pen s at ion 
 finally 
 proved more 
 than he could 
 stand. How 
 he threw up 
 his seat for 
 Barrow and Mr. W. S. Caine. 
 
 wentwander- 
 
 ing for two years before he began his at- 
 tack upon East Bradford is now a matter of 
 ancient history. When he has made up his mind 
 Mr. Caine is a capital fighter, and with the aid of 
 “ Caine’s Budget ” and certain P.M.G. pictures, j 
 he made things very lively fer the ’Lories of 
 Bradford. No man in his time has been a more 
 indefatigable electioneerer and platform speaker 
 and in the 1885 election he was the life and 
 soul of the Liberal battle in London. He has 
 a rough and ready, homely, John Bull kind of 
 oratory which suited your ordinary frequenter 
 of public meetings to a “ t.” And then Mr. Caine 
 is well known as a staunch Radical — of the 
 dissenting and teetotal type, as much at home in a 
 pulpit as on the platform. Mr. W. S. Caine 
 was Civil Lord of the Admiralty 1884-85, and 
 formerly an iron merchant at Liverpool. He was 
 educated privately at Birkenhead, and is now 50. 
 
 He has one amiable trait that one would hardly 
 expect to find in this “genial ruffian ” : he is fond 
 of pictures, and has a particularly good collection 
 of water-colours. He had a battle-royal with Sir 
 William Harcourt in the debate on the “ Licensing 
 Clauses,” when Sir William took a kicked joy in 
 emphasizing the unpleasant position of a temper- 
 ance stumper who, as a Liberal Unionist, was 
 harnessed to the Tory chariot-wheels. He has 
 lately taken to globe-trotting, India being his last 
 conquest. He always returns with his belief in 
 Christian missions a good deal shaken, but more 
 convinced than ever of the special call of Mr. 
 Caine.

 Mr. Alfred Illingworth is a Radical and a 
 Liberationist of the most pronounced type. He is 
 also a Capitalist : 
 whereby hangs the 
 tale of the most viru- 
 lent and vigorous op- 
 position offered to him, 
 championed by Mr. 
 
 Ben Tillett. This 
 opposition arose pri- 
 marily out of the 
 attitude of the Capita- 
 list classes of Brad- 
 ford to the men “ out ” 
 on the occasion of the 
 famous strike in 1891 
 at the equally famous 
 Lister mill, and, oddly 
 enough, to some slight 
 extent to the change 
 from Ultra-Labour to Capitalist-Labour in' the 
 policy of the London Star , in which Mr. Illing- 
 worth and his father in-law, Mr. Holden, are, or 
 were, influential shareholders. “ It is well 
 enough to be Capitalist,” observed a friend of Mr. 
 Illingworth recently, “but it is ill for Capitalism 
 to rub the nose of Labour in the dirt of 
 humiliation and defeat.” He is not the man 
 to make any compromise with “ the accursed 
 thing,” and is as relentless in obstructing 
 Church r form as in promoting Church aboli- 
 tion, keen against mending, as he is in favour 
 of ending, the State Church. Mr. Illingworth’s 
 connection with politics dates back almost to 
 the period of the attainment of his manhood. 
 He was educated at Huddersfield College, entered 
 business when he was sixteen, and succeeded when 
 he was twenty-seven to his father’s business as a 
 Bradford worsted spinner Ha’f-a-dozen years or 
 more ago Mr. Illingworth locked like a com r nj 
 Radical leader ; but somehow — perhaps it was the 
 long hours, for this was before the days of the 
 closure — he faded away, and he is no longer a 
 figure of importance. For he is now 66.

 that Mr. Loder was not a Brightonian. But his 
 political father repelled so foul a charge. “It 
 is true,” he said, “ that Mr. Gerald Loder 
 was not born in Brighton, but one of his brothers 
 was.” A further claim to distinction was made out 
 for him, on the ground that his sister married the 
 brother-in-law of Lord Salisbury’s step-sister. H e 
 is one of the Loders of Whittlebuiy, and, like 
 most of his family, rich and smart. He married 
 in 1810 the eldest daughter of the Duke ot Si.

 Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has suffered a partial

 Yet as Irish Secretary 
 in the beginning of the 
 last Parliament he was 
 a distinct success, and 
 his application of “pres- 
 sure ” upon the Clan- 
 ricardes of Ireland was 
 received with general 
 satisfaction by every one 
 else. The subsequent 
 failure of his eyesight 
 necessitated, it was said, 
 his retirement from 
 office. _ For some time Sir M. H. Beach. 
 after his resignation he 
 
 continue! to express very liberal sentiments about 
 Ireland, but, the Coercion regime having set in 
 with full force, Lord Salisbu; y took the sensible 
 course of tying Sir Michael's tongue by inducing 
 him to re-enter the Cabinet. A certain excessive 
 pliability is his weakest point ; and his consent to 
 become Lord Randolph's tool in ousting poor Sir 
 Stafford did not wear a pleasant look, in spite of 
 his leanings towards the new Toryism, he is himself 
 one.ofthe “old gang,” for he had held a suc- 
 cession of minor offices in Tory Governments since 
 1868, and was Lord Beaconsfield’s makeshift Colo- 
 nial Secretary on Lord Carnarvon’s resignation. 
 Nor does he frighten the old “country gang,” 
 for did not he himself represent the good old 
 To-‘y county of Gloucester for twenty years, and 
 has he not for all these years shown himself 
 fully alive to the vital importance ot the incidence 
 of local rales, turnpike-roads, and the foot- 
 and-mouth disease ? It is characteristic of English 
 politics that so confirmed a country gentleman 
 should have been made President of the Board of 
 Trade, but he has apparently given great satisfac- 
 tion in commercial circles. Radicals, however, 
 have something to say in criticism of his capitalist 
 tendencies. He has, however, the merit — as it 
 must now be accounted in a Tory Minister— of 
 being a convinced Free Trader. Sir Michael Hicks- 
 Beach was educated at Eton and Christ Church, 
 took a “ first ” in “Law and Modern History,” 
 and married in 1874 Lady Lucy Fortescue. He 
 is 55, and popular on both sides of the House.

 1886 : Sir H. James (LU), unopposed. 
 
 Sir Henry James, who is certainly one of the 
 two most distinguished Liberal Unionists in the 
 House of Commons, 
 presents in many re- 
 spects a remarkable 
 contrast to bis col- 
 league. Mr- Chamber- 
 lain is nothing if not 
 incisive, bitter, and 
 even shrewish. Sir 
 Henry, though _ no 
 keener Unionist exists, 
 does not allow political 
 differences to interfere 
 with private friend- 
 ships, and during the 
 six years of the schism 
 has never allowed a 
 discourteous word to 
 escape from the wall of 
 his teeth. As for his 
 11 sacr fi:es,” -without 
 some record of which n 
 Unionist considers his 
 political outfit complete, Sir Henry James enjoys 
 a distinction which is understood to be unique in 
 his profession, of having refused the Lord Chan- 
 cellorship. This office, as well as that of Home 
 Secretary, was offered him by Mr. Gladstone, 
 but refused on the ground of objections to a 
 Home Rule policy. His constituents have since 
 condoned this disappointing tenderness of con- 
 science ; and his colleagues at the bar are all 
 delighted that it should have fallen to the lot 
 of some one other than themselves to prove 
 the superiority of the profession to the attractions 
 of mere office. At the same time one is beginning 
 to be a little tired of hearing this heroic deed 
 extolled : Sir Henry James should remember the 
 
fate of Aristides. In one respect Sir Henry 
 resembles Mr. Chamberlain. The latter has 
 thanked his stars that he is now numbered among 
 “the gentlemen of England;” and Sir Henry, though 
 — to quote a clever sketch in the Daily News — 
 as he candidly confessed the other day, he was not 
 born in the atmosphere of aristocracy, has taken 
 very kindly to it, and makes himself very much 
 at home there. “His conversational shop is not 
 legal. His talk is of Princes and Rothschilds, 
 rather than of Byles and Benjamin. Neverthe- 
 less, Sir Henry James is quite affable, and never 
 forgets his manners, if he chances to find him- 
 self in plebeian company, as cannot in these 
 democratic and non-exclusive days always be 
 avoided.” Sir Henry, it may be added, is an 
 excellent shot, although he never handled a gun 
 till he was forty, and has great merits as a political 
 speaker. At the bar they say he never rounds a 
 sentence, never pleads a case well, and never badly. 
 But his position there is unique, and probably 
 no man in the profession can command so large an in- 
 come by so little exertion. He is generally popular ; 
 for — to quote again — “though opinions may vary 
 about the delicacy of his breeding, or the fineness 
 of h s taste, his civility is undeniable, and the 
 weary length of the Parnell Commission was con- 
 stantly lightened by his good-humoured banter. 
 Sir Henry James is not a wit, and his acquaint- 
 ance with literature is slight. He carries, how- 
 ever, the small change of society about with him, 
 and keeps people gently amused without any 
 strain upon his mental resources or theirs.” 
 Sir Henry was educated at Cheltenham, and 
 called to the Bar in 1852. He sat for Taunton 
 from 1869 to 1885. He was Solicitor-General in 
 1873, and Attorney-General in the 1880-85 Govern- 
 ment. He took a leading part in the Corrupt 
 Practices Acts and the Reform Bills. He is 
 Attorney-General to his friend the Prince of Wales. 
 He is 64 and unmarried.

 There was no contest in 1885 or 1880, but at a

 retired, after having represented the University 
 for twenty-six years) the poll was : Raikes (C), 
 3,491; Stuart (L), 1,301 — Conservative majority, 
 2,190. 
 
 1886 : Beresford-Hope (C) and Raikes (C), un-

 Whether Professor Jebb is as good at po’itirs as 
 he is at making Greek verses andeliting Sophocles 
 remains to be seen, but 
 if he is only hal; as 
 good he will yet go far 
 in the House of Com- 
 mons. In his junior 
 Cambridge days he 
 comb’ned the nicest 
 scholarship with the 
 most careful atten- 
 tion' to his personal 
 appearance. Before! e 
 succeeded Dr. K ennedy 
 a '. Regius Professor of 
 Greek at Cambridge 
 Mr. Jebb was Professor 
 of Greek at Glasgow 
 University, and up to 
 the time of his entering 
 Parliament the worst 
 thing that any one 
 can find to say of 1 is 
 antecedents is that 
 once in a published 
 copy of Latin verses he made cotidiana quies do 
 duty as the last half of a pentameter. The Pindaric 
 ode which he wrote for the centenary of an Italian 
 Universi y was so good that robed/ could translate 
 it. Unlike most eminent scholars, he has a very 
 happy knack of r ublic speaking, and on the one 
 occasion on which he addressed the House he did 
 himself ample justice. Professor Jebb was 
 educated at Charterhouse and Trinity, Cambridge, 
 where he was senior classic, and gained every other 
 possible distinction. He was born in 1841, and is 
 ma>ried to the widow of General A. L. Slemmer,

 Opinions differ as to whether Sir John Gorst is 
 the greatest cynic or the greatest philan:hropist in 
 the House of Commons. 
 
 His speech on the 
 Manipur incident, with 
 its astonishing pas- 
 sage on the preference 
 of a Government for 
 mediocrities and on the 
 necessity of cutting off 
 the heads of the taller 
 poppies, will perhaps 
 be remembered as the 
 most audacious in tbe 
 present Parliament, 
 together with the sub- 
 sequent exjlanaiicn 
 that the mer iocrities 
 referred to did net in- 
 clude Lord Cross. 
 
 Hardly less embarras- 
 sing to his own friends 
 was his interposition in the half-timers debate in 
 1891, when he explained that Lord Salisbury had 
 instructed the delegates a", the Berlin Conference 
 to assent to 12 as the earliest age of child labour ; 
 
 jhe Government were at that moment urging 
 the House of Commons to accept 10. Those who 
 xnow him declare that the cynicism is only a mask, 
 and that the true Sir John is the Democrat and 
 Labour leader. Certainly he did excellent service 
 V * cr - in S the pace on Labour quest'ons during 
 the last Parliament. He represented England 
 with great ability at the Berlin Labour Congress, 
 an( L the Labour Commission now sitting is his 
 
 S:r. J. Gorst. 
 
 handiwork. His contempt for Government by 
 mediocrities is not altogether without cause. 
 There is, indeed, no stranger fact than that 
 a Cabinet which included Mr. Stanhope, 
 Lord Ashbourne, and Mr. Ritchie should have 
 excluded Sir John Gorst. Except on the medi- 
 ocrity theory it is ir comprehensible, for Sir John 
 is almost the best debater and one of the ablest 
 administrators the party posses'e^. Before suc- 
 ceeding Mr. Jackson as Secretary to the Treasury 
 he was Under-Sect etarv for India, and in the stop- 
 gap Administration of 1885 was Solicitor-General. 
 Between 1380 and 1885 he was a membei if the 
 Fourth party, and rose to power under Lord Ran- 
 dol{h s protection. Earlier in life he was a 
 counsel in India and for two years Civil Commis- 
 sioner of Waikato, New Zealand, where he 
 espoused the cause of the Maoris. Between 1870 
 and 1877 he was Se:retary of the Conservative 
 caucus. He was educated at St. John’s College, 
 Cambridge, was called to the bar (Inner Temple) 
 twenty years ago, and is now 57.

 Mr. George Newnes is one of those lucky 
 mortals in whose hands everything they 
 touch turns to gold. About ten vears ago, 
 whe.i he was yet a “ business man,” it struck 
 him that the greit mass of interesting literary 
 matter, whl h until then only filled up the odd 
 corners in the newspapers and periodicals of the 
 world, would make a readable and amusing 
 
 weekly. He beean to collect these “clippings/ 
 and lo and btho’d, Tit-Bits was evidently the 
 paper for which the 
 world had been wait- 
 ing, for it grew faster 
 than the proverbial 
 mustard-seed, and is 
 Trowing still, with 
 a weekly sale of over 
 a^ quarter of a million. 
 For some years Tit- 
 Bits remained Mr. 
 Newnes’s one ewe 
 lamb, but lately he 
 __ x h as ma ^ e several other 
 
 y \ /Hites* literary ventures. The 
 
 Strand Magazine , for 
 instance, had only 
 to appear to be a 
 gigantic success. Last 
 summer Mr. Newnes 
 turned his bus’ness into 
 a limited liability com- 
 Newnes, Limited), in which 
 shareholders are newsagents 
 who thus, by popularizing 
 publications, serve their own 
 as well as his interests. The Million , another 
 illustrated weekly, is also edited by Mr. Newnes, 
 and he is interested in several large commercial 
 undertakings in various parts of the country. Mr. 
 Newnes is a cool, keen man of business, but when 
 once b e leaves his seignorial offices in Southampton- 
 s’reet for his house on Wimbledon Common his 
 whole being is transposed. There he is the most 
 genial of men, whose interest in games and 
 gambols of any kind is as keen and as real as his 
 interest in the production of his magazines and 
 newspapers. Mr. Newnes is a Derbyshire man, and 
 was born at Matlock forty-one years ago. He is

 Some years ago an Englishman W 2 S looking 
 a r ter his business at a station far “ up country ” 
 in New South Wales, 
 He was talking with his 
 men when the mail 
 arrived. Few of them 
 rece : ved letters, but the 
 lucky few read their 
 news for the benefit of 
 the rest, who took as 
 keen an interest in the 
 welfare of the old folk 
 at home as if they were 
 relations of their own. 
 The incident made a 
 deep impression on the 
 Englishman’s mind. A 
 few years later he 
 came home, and chanced 
 to enter a village post- 
 office where a woman 
 was inquiring the 
 postage to Australia. Sha could not afford the 
 requisite sixpence, and the Englishman paid it for 
 
 Mr. J. Henniker 
 Heaton.

 her. He learned subsequently from the parson 
 of the parish that his out'av brought the old lady 
 a remittance of £5 by return of post, for mother 
 and son had at last been brought into communica- 
 tion. The Englishman la'd these things up in his 
 heart and determined to make it his mission in life to 
 cheapen the means of communication between the 
 old folk at home and their kith and kin beyond the 
 seas. _ The hero of this pathetic tale is Mr. John 
 Henniker Heaton, who had gone to seek his 
 fortune in New South Wales ; and who ten years 
 ago married the only daughter of the late Mr. 
 Samuel Bennett, a wealthy newspaper proprietor 
 in that colony. He returned to Europe, and 
 after officially representing New South Wales 
 at various exhibitions and conferences, got 
 himself elected in 1885 Conservative M.P. 
 for Canterbury — a seat which he has held without 
 opposition ever since. But his real const’tuency 
 s a larger one. He is member for Postal Reform, 
 and his assiduity has extorted from successive 
 postmasters innumerable reforms— culminat ng in 
 the “ twopenny-halfpenny halfway-house ’ to 
 Imperial Penny Post. On other subjects Mr. 
 Heaton has wisely held his tongue. He 
 cultivates an open mind, but answers obedi- 
 ently to the party whip. Mr. Heatcn 
 has his detractors, like the rest of us ; but, 
 probably, none of them has done a tittle of his 
 useful work. He has been accused of believing in 
 “ghosts,” but he and his work are substantial 
 enough. He is a native of Rochester, was educated 
 at King's College, and is 54 years of age.

 matics and Naval Con-

 part of his career he was 
 editor of the Mechatiics 
 Magazine. He was 
 Chief Constructor of the 
 British Navy from July, 
 1863, until . July, 1870, 
 when he resigned; and he 
 was a Junior Lord of the 
 Treasury in Mr. Glad- 
 stone’s last Government. 
 In late years he has 
 been in business as a 
 naval constructor and en- 
 gineer ; and has received 
 Russian, Austrian, and 
 Turkish orders. Sir Ed- 
 Sir E. J. Reed. ward was fo^ a number

 denunciation of the Government’s shipbuilding 
 policy ;_and the feud between “ Ned ’’(Sir Edward) 
 and “ Nat” f Sir Edward Reed’s brother-in-law, Sir 
 Nathaniel Barnaby, who retired with honours 
 from the office of Chief Constructor a few years 
 ago) afforded much amusement to Parliament. Sir 
 Edward Reed took a considerable interest in 
 Captain Eads’s scheme of a ship railway ; and he 
 is a rival to S r Edward Watkin in the matter of 
 Channel communicatiort, advocating the construc- 
 tion of a tubular railway across “ the silver streak.’ 
 He is a member of many institutes, and, bevond 
 other foreign distinctions, he is a Knight of the 
 Rising Sun of Japan.

 A bright little man, Major Jonrs will be a 
 decided acquisition in the Lobby ; he will help to 
 repair the loss the gossips sustained by the death 
 of Sir J. Pope Hennessy. A Wtlshmai with 
 interesting family associations — one of his father’s 
 fami y was the translator of “ Froissarts 
 Chronicles,” and on his mother’s side he is linked 
 to the revered pioneer of Calvinist'c Methodism — 
 the fear of a stepfather drove him as a boy to 
 America, where he sought his fortune first as a 
 farm-hand and then as an assistant in a store at 
 Milwaukee, where he was the secretary to the 
 Welsh Club when the civil war broke out. 
 Responding to Piesident Lincoln’s cdl for 
 volunteers, young Jones took part in the 
 campaign against Richmond, serving as a private 
 through the battles of Goldens Farm, Savage 
 Station, White Oak Swamp, Malvern-hill, Antie- 
 tam ; and the terrific slaughter of Gettysburg p 
 afterwards took part in the quelling of ihe Draft 
 Riots in New York ; and then joined with his 
 regiment the main army in the wilderness under 
 Grant. He rapidly advanced to the rank of 
 lieutenant, and his gallantry soon obtained for him 
 further promotion. At the close of the war Major 
 Jore; returned to business at Milwaukee; but 
 General Allan, basing h’s claim on journa i tic as 
 well as military service, bad him appointed United 
 States Consul at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. At the 
 close of a long period of service at Neweast'e 
 he was sent a-; the United States Consul for 
 Wales at Cardiff ; indeed, he enjeyed a con- 
 sular ra eer of longer miration than tnat of 
 any man of first rank in the American service. 
 Major Jones was a great favourite in Tyneside, 
 aid associated himself closely with its public life. 
 Lie was a great admirer of Mr. Joseph Cowen, 
 and in 1885 he wrote a sketch of Mr. Cowen's 
 career and edited a volume of his speeches. 
 While at Cardiff he helped ro raise the status of 
 the port, and he closely identified himself with the 
 University movement in Wales. A histoiy of the 
 war was published by him in 1875, under tae title 
 of “ Lincoln, Stanton, and Grant, ’ and he also 
 wrote “ Four Years with the Army of the Pcto- 
 mac.” A story of his, “ Una Montgomery,” has 
 had a wide circulation, and he has also published 
 “ Heroes < f Industry.’ Major Jones, who is 52, 
 is now editing the Shipping World in London, 
 and something is known of him in the City as a 
 company dire :tor.

 Mr. J. Lloyd Morgan, the new member, is a

 Welshman, and in sympathy with Welsh national 
 aspirations. He is a son of the late Rev. Professor 
 Morgan, of the Presbyterian College, Carmarthen, 
 but himself a member of the Congregational body. 
 Mr. Morgan was called to the Bar at the Inner 
 Temple four or five years ago, and has already 
 secured a fair practice on the South Wales Circuit, 
 attending chiefly the assizes and sessions for 
 Glamorganshire, which are held alternately at 
 Cardiff and Swansea. From time to time his name 
 may also be met with in reports of cases from his 
 circuit which come for final hearing to London. 
 Mr. Morgan has in him the making of an effective 
 platform speaker. Together with other young 
 Welsh members he made an active demonstration 
 of his Liberationist principles in the last days of 
 the late Parliament. He was educated at Trinity 
 Hall, Cambridge, and is 31 years of age.

 English Liberals shook their heads over the 
 extreme course adopted by Mr. Lloyd-George and 
 “ the young Wales” party upon the Clergy Dis- 
 cipline Bill, but Mr. George’s Carnarvon consti- 
 tuents apparently agree with him on this point, in 
 spite of the fact that he was smashed and pul- 
 verized by the G. O. M. himself. Though he has 
 only been two years in the House of Commons, 
 Mr. Lloyd-George ha« acquired a notable mastery 
 over the forms of the House, and in the matter of 
 piling up amendments while evading the Speaker’s 
 pounce he has shown that a Welshman may vie 
 with an Irishman of the best period. He was 
 born in Manchester in 1863, and is thus twenty-nine 
 years of age. He is the son of a schoolmaster, 
 but when quite young the death of his father led to 
 his being placed in charge of a relative. He was 
 sent fo the National School in Llanystumdwy, 
 where he received all the education he obtained 
 previous to his studying for the law. He was 
 articled with Messrs. Preece, Jones, and Carron, 
 of Portmadoc, and at about twenty-two years of 
 age he passed his final examination with honours, 
 and set up in practice at Criccieth, where, in part- 
 nership with his younger brother, he has esta- 
 blished what is said to be the b^st solicitor’s 
 business in that part of Wales. Mr. Lloyd-George 
 is a member of the Baptist Church, and has for 
 some years been an earnest lecturer on temperance. 
 He is keen, able, and personally pleasant. When 
 he takes a strong line it is from severely conscien- 
 tious motives.

 is local government, on which subject he 
 has both written himself and caused others, to

 Liverpool people take an especial pride in Mr.

 He was vice-president of University .College,

 The choice of Mr. E. F. V. Knox to succeed Mr. 
 Biggar in the constituency of West Cavan was 
 generally taken as indicating a change of policy on 
 Mr. Parnell’s part. In one respect there was to be 
 a new style of Irish member, so people said, and 
 this young man, Ulster landlord, Fellow of All 
 Souls, and one of the most promising “ devils ” at 
 the English bar, was to be the first of them. When 
 
 the stormy days of Committee Room No. 15 
 arrived, Mr. Parnell is said to have regretted his 
 new policy, and to have contrasted the new mem- 
 ber for West Caven very unfavourably with 
 the old, for Mr. Knox was anti-Parnellite among 
 the strongest, and went for the ex-leader to his 
 face without the smallest hesitation. From the 
 fall of Mr. Parnell onwards, Mr. Knox has proved 
 himself a notable addition to the little body of 
 lawyers whose raking criticism of Mr. Balfour’s 
 b 11s is such an. embarrassment to an Irish Chief 
 Secretary. During the Committee stage of the 
 Land Purchase Bill he was simply indefatigable, 
 and had made special studies to equip himself 
 for the same stage of Mr. BaFour’s Local Govern- 
 ment Bill. He is not eloquent, and his voice is 
 against him, but he speaks sensibly, and always 
 has something to say. He has good backing at 
 the bar and is expected to get on. He is 27 years 
 of age, was educated at St. Columba’s College, 
 County Dublin, and Keble College, Oxford, got 
 a first in history and won a fellowship at All 
 Souls. He married a Welsh lady in 1891 and is a 
 Protestant. He is the Irish authority of the 
 Speaker.

 .Mr. Coningsby D'sraeli’s career is anticipated 
 with interest. Born 1867 ; educated at the Charter- 
 house and New College, 
 Oxford, where he was 
 secretary of the Chat- 
 ham Club ; son of Mr. 
 Ralph Disraeli, late 
 Deputy Clerk of Parlia- 
 ment, and nephew of 
 Lord Beaconsfield, the 
 young Disraeli has also 
 given the public a taste 
 of his fighting quality, 
 and has shown that he 
 has a pointed style in 
 newspaper controversy. 
 Early displayed a 
 tendency to blossom 
 forth as a full-edged 
 politician, and when he 
 was at Oxford showed 
 his sense of the fitness of things by sharing a 
 house in the Cornmarket with Robert Peel the 
 younger. The next term he went in for a still 
 more curious combination by taking up his abode 
 in the same dwelling as a member of the Glad- 
 stone family! — a great-nephew of W. E. G., who 
 was with him at New College. He inherited the 
 Buckinghamshire property of his famous uncle, 
 and is fond of posing as Loid Beaconsfield’s suc- 
 cessor in other ways.

 The candidates in the Hyde division were the

 again a personal as well as a political one. Mr. 
 
 Ashton was a native of 
 Hyde, so was Mr. Side-

 were his father and 
 mother into the bar-

 family had done a

 had the Sidebothams.

 was a manufacturer in

 not of this opinion. Was

 To some, of his opponents who asserted that he 
 was a foreigner Mr. Brunner once replied, “ My 
 father was a Swiss 
 my mother was a 
 Manx woman, and I 
 was born in Liver- 
 pool.” His father 
 was the late Rev 
 John Brunner, a 
 schoolmaster, who 
 settled in England in 
 1832. He was edu- 
 cated at his father’s 
 school, and entered 
 mercantile life in a 
 Liverpool house. 
 He is one of the 
 
 Mr. J. T. Brunner. founders of the 
 Winnington Alkali 
 Works, now the largest concern of its kind 
 in the world. In 1881 it was turned 
 into a limited liability company under the 
 litle of Brunner, Mond, and Co., of which 
 Mr. Brunner is joint managing director. He 
 is a strong supporter of education, for, in addi- 
 tion to the presentation of a free public library to 
 the town near which his works are situated, he has 
 proved a benefactor to the local grammar schools, 
 and has given substantial assistance (£10,000) to 
 the Liverpool University College, on the council 
 of which he sits. He is a strong, active Liberal, 
 and is credited with a large interest in the Star 
 and the Speaker.

 In the wilds of Maiabeleland, close by King 
 
 Lo Ben’s kraal, an Engli.- 
 Great was the excite- 
 ment wh'ch this out- 
 h n li-h d version caused 
 among the natives, and 
 a considerable part of 
 the Matabele nation 
 assembled to witness 
 it. The Englishman 
 in question is not a 
 man who loves pub- 
 licity, but he is a 
 bit of a philosopher, 
 and noth.ng could have 
 been cooler or more 
 delicerate than the way 
 he stripped, folded up 
 his clothes on the bank, 
 and took to the water. 
 The Matabele nation 
 looked on, commentin' 
 freely ; but as he 
 could not understand a 
 word that didn’t matter 
 to him. Presently 
 he produced a tooth-brusl 
 
 hman once took a bath. 
 
 and a box of chalk, and 
 
 started brushing his teeth. There they drew tile 
 line. A man who puts strange things into his 
 mouth, who foams at the lips, and who turns the 
 water to milk, he must be a ’ mtagati , a magician ! 
 Yells of astonishment rent the air. A party 
 went off to tell the King, taking the Englishman’s 
 paraphernalia, and. what is more, his clothes ! 
 The Englishman followed, wrapt in philosophic 
 calm, and wearing — well, wetring a hat. The 
 King proceeded to sit like an inquest upon the 
 brushes ard bottles. It was explained to his 
 Majesty that the whi’e men actually liked the 
 stink of the scent bottles ; and as for the turning 
 of the water into milk, the King’s mother died on 
 the self-same day, and his Majesty was unfilia! 
 enough to see some compensations in the 
 white man’s magic. The hero of this tale 
 from “King Solomon’s Mines” in real life 
 is Mr. J. Rochefort Maguiie. Fifteen years 
 ago he was up at Oxford with Mr. Cecil 
 Rhodes, and when that gentleman wanted an 
 emissary to conciliate Lobengula, he bethought 
 him of his old ccllege chum. Mr. Maguire, by his 
 coolness and ingenuity, fully justified his choice, 
 and if ev r the true story of how the great con- 
 cession was obtained comes to be written, Mt will 
 make a most entertaining chapter. Mr. Maguire 
 would never have survived, it is said, if he 
 had not enjoyed a University education, and thus 
 been able to teach the King all manner of nice 
 games at cards — in which, li ce an accomplished, 
 courtier, he was careful not to win too often.. 
 Mr. Maguire is a native of county Limerick. He 
 was educated at Cheltenham and Merton. Oxford, 
 and until recently was a Fellow of All Souls’. 
 He has been colled to the Bar, and he. 
 had the drafting of the great concession aforesaid. 
 Personally he is a handsome, fa r-faced, agreeable,, 
 popular and cultivated gentleman, who looks a 
 good deal less than his thirty-seven years, speaks- 
 with aristocratic deliberation and a touch of lazi- 
 ness, but who strikes you on better acquaintance 
 (so say all his friends) as a very clever fellow, a 
 very good fellow, and a fellow who simply does, 
 not know the nature of fear.

 Mr. William O’Brien is one of the enthusiasts 
 of the party which once owned undivided alle- 
 giance to the cool and unemotional leadership of 
 Mr. Parnell. He is a man who revels in the 
 tumult of a crowd. A reporter fifteen years ago on 
 Freeman's Journal, he threw in his lot with the 
 Land League, and was appointed to edit the 
 organ of the party, United Ireland , much 
 
49 
 
 Mr. W. O’Brien. 
 
 the most powerful newspaper in the 
 country. Any one meeting Mr. O’Brien 
 for the first time at a 
 “Campaign” meet- 
 ing in Ireland would 
 probably be surprised 
 to hear that he was 
 not originally a pea- 
 sant. No man has 
 more of that uncanny 
 moroseness, that sul- 
 len suspicion which 
 characterizes the 
 Irish peasant than 
 this journalist, who, 
 ho vever, is towns- 
 man born and bred. 
 
 An extreme short- 
 sightedness necessi- 
 tates the use of spec- 
 tacles, through w hich 
 small, pale, weak eyes 
 peer discontentedly 
 upon the outer world. 
 
 The wrongs of his 
 country have entered 
 into his soul. He 
 is a kind of Irish 
 Cobbett, with all the 
 
 savage strength of his English prototype. He 
 is in earnest, in black, bitter, bloody earnest ; 
 but in private he is the most amiable of men, 
 unselfish and disinterested, and idealist to a fault. 
 In public he is not unlike Marat, whom Carlyle 
 describes as “ acrid and corrosive as the spirit of 
 sloes and copperas.” He does “ not want sense, 
 but with croaking gelid throat croaks out masses 
 of the truth on several things.” He is perhaps a 
 little deficient in humour, and the laugh over 
 “ the rape of Mr. O’Brien’s breeches” was not 
 entirely confined to his enemies. “ A truly great 
 man,” Patrick Ford once remarked drily, “ would 
 never have thought so ir.u:h about his trousers.” 
 But, after all, he defeated Mr. Balfour in the end — 
 by compelling him to alter the prison regulaticns, 
 even more than by smuggling in a new suit of 
 “ dittoes.” This feat could only have been 
 managed by a 1 old Prison Hand like Mr. 
 O'Brien, who had already done h!s six months 
 under the coercion of the Old Parliamentary 
 Hand. It is Mr. O’Brien’s graduation in gaol— 
 the Irish Patriot’s College — that has helped to make 
 him the great power he is in his own country. 
 Mr. O’Brien is physically a tall, slim, weakly-built 
 man, with an intellectual look : and he devotes 
 an immense amount of nervous energy to the 
 service of his country’s cause. His style in the 
 House is somewhat too hysterical, but his speeches 
 occasionally make an extraordinary impression. 
 He was educated at the Diocesan College, Cloyne, 
 and the Queen’s College, Cork. Mr. O’Brien, 
 who is 40, recently married Miss Raffalovich.

 Mr. Maurice Hea’y is a younger brother of Mr.

 Dr. C. Tanner. 
 
 Every cne knows Dr. Charles Tanner as the 
 naughty boy of St. Stephen’s, who is always 
 getting into 
 
 scrapes. When 
 he really was a 
 schoolboy, what 
 must he have 
 been ? He was 
 educated at 
 Winchester, and 
 at the Queen’s 
 College, Cork, 
 and also abroad. 
 
 The son of a 
 Cork physician, 
 himself a clever 
 andkindhearted 
 doctor, is one 
 of the popular 
 Protestant Na- 
 tionalists in Ire- 
 land, and he is 
 not nearly so 
 much a bete 
 noire at West- 
 minster as 
 might be 
 thought. Every- 
 body who knows the fiery doctor at a’l 
 intimately will tell you that amongst all 
 the Irish party there is scarcely one who 
 has a keener sympathy with the lowly state 
 and trials and aspirations of the common people 
 of his native land. Some of the young Tory bloods 
 take a wicked pleasure in “ drawing ” the Doctor, 
 and he may often be seen sitting with tilted hat 
 and folded arms, wagging his head with a scorn 
 both visible and audible at the Tory partv at 
 large — an incarnation of the sentiment, “ Pray 
 will some gintleman thrid on the tails of me coat?” 
 The consequence is frequent “ scenes ” in the 
 House and lobby, resulting on one occasion at 
 least in his “ suspension. ” But as a rule the 
 House, good natured to so good-hearted a fellow, 
 contrives to turn a “blind eye” to his escapades. 
 Dr. Tanner naturally played a piquant part in 
 the Parnell drama : it was he who first gave 
 utterance to the cry, “ Fox, ta Iy-ho ! ” Dr. 
 Tanner is at home in an Irish crowd, especially 
 when he carries with him the stout staff pre- 
 sented to him by the Archbishop of Thurles. He 
 is lucky in possessing along with a hot head and a 
 warm heart a most rot u it physique. He is 42.

 Mr. John Morrough is a Cork man, who made 
 a handsome, fortune in South Africa, mainly in 
 diamond mining. He is a co-director with Mr. 
 .Cecil Rhodes in the De Beers Consolidated Mines, 
 and when he was selected by Mr. Parnell in June, 
 1889, as a successor to Alderman Hooper in the 
 representation of South-East Cork, the nomination! 
 was generally rega-ded as a recognition of Mr. 
 Rhodes’s famous first cheque. When the Parnell 
 crisis arrived, however, Mr. Morrough became one 
 of the earliest and sturdiest antagonists of “the 
 Chief,” and was among the first subscribers to the 
 National Press Fund. Since his return to Ireland,. 
 Mr. Morrough has sought to develop the indus- 
 tries of the Cork district by starting a woollen 
 manufactory. Mr. Morrough was educated at the

 Mr. James Gilhooly is a draper in a large way

 being one of the best 
 fighting men of his 
 party. He was im- 
 prisoned for three 
 months under the ordi- 
 nary law for promoting 
 the No Rent manifesto. 
 
 Afterwards, on his 
 election to Parliament 
 in 1885, a warrant was 
 issued for his arrest as 
 a suspect, but he suc- 
 cessfully evaded the 
 police until he appeared 
 in the House of Com-

 Mr. W. A. M'Arthur made his mark in the late 
 Parliament as one of the promising young men of 
 the Liberal party, and 
 his increased majority 
 in Mid-Cornwall proves 
 that he has made cor- 
 responding progress 
 with his constituents. 
 His introduction to 
 politics was in theBuck- 
 rose division of York- 
 shire, where he fought 
 the famous Mr. Chris- 
 topher Sykes, and was 
 for a brief period mem- 
 ber for the division. A 
 scrutiny of the votes, 
 however, transferred 
 his majority to the 
 other side — so “ Chris- 
 topher” came back for 
 Mr. W. A. M ‘Arthur. Buckrose and Mr. 
 
 M ‘Arthur went to St. 
 Austell. By profession, he is a member of his 
 father’s firm — W. and A. M ‘Arthur, colonial 
 merchants — and he has the great advantage of 
 knowing the colonies. If r.ot brilliant he is quiet 
 ar.d business-like, and has in him the fighting 
 qualities of a colonial, a trader, and a Noncon- 
 formist (for in this latter respect also he follows 
 tthe tradition of his family). He is 35, was 
 born in Sydney, and educated privately: Before 
 
 he entered the rival institution at Westminster he 
 was one of the lights of the Kensington Parlia- 
 ment. He believes in Home Rule as a step to the 
 federation of the Empire.

 1886 poll: Conybeare (L), 3,056; Gay (LU), 
 1,969 — Liberal majority, 1,087. 
 
 Three or four years ago it used to be said that 
 Mr. Conybeare had probably asked more questions, 
 introduced more bills, made more speeches, and 
 inflicted more boredom than any member ever did 
 in the same time. Since the entrance of Messrs. 
 Seymour Keay and Cleophas Morton into the 
 House of Commons, and since the new interest 
 which Mr. Conybeare has taken in African gold 
 mines, this judgment needs revising. The new 
 
 Mr. Conybeare is apparently not so popular in 
 his constituency as the old one, to judge from the 
 rather clamorous 
 proceedings in the 
 Camborne division 
 during the. elec- 
 tion. Certain of 
 his mining consti- 
 tuents will have it 
 that he cares more 
 for gold-mining 
 at the Cape than 
 for tin-mining in 
 Cornwall, and pos- 
 sibly the Imperial- 
 ist views which he 
 has picked up in 
 his travels (espe- 
 cially concerning 
 Egypt) are not so 
 popular with W est- 
 country Radicals 
 as they should be. 
 
 However, Mr. 
 
 Conybeare’s re- 
 cord during the Mr. C. A. V. Conybeare. 
 six years includes 
 
 besides gold-mining an imprisonment in Ireland, as 
 one of Mr. Balfour’s prisoners, during which he 
 seems to have suffered more than ordinary incon- 
 venience. In the House itself he is altogether much 
 quieter than formerly, and neither gets suspended 
 nor indulges in altercations with the Speaker. 
 Mr. Charles Augustus Vansittart Conybeare 
 was educated at Tunbridge and Christ Church, 
 Oxford, __ and was called to the Bar in 
 1881, joining the South-eastern Circuit. At Ox- 
 ford he won the “ Lothian” historical essay prize, 
 and was a constant speaker at the Union— more per- 
 sistent than popular. He was a member of the Lon- 
 don School Board from 1888 to 18S0, when he was 
 unseated on the score of his imprisonment in 
 Ireland. Mr. Conybeare is on the board of the 
 Oceana Transvaal Land Company, and is chair- 
 man of its hitherto unfortunate “ baby,” the 
 Silati. On more than one occasion he has had to 
 face a crowd of angry shareholders, and has dis- 
 played great skill and nerve in the task. He 
 is 39.

 Mr. Leonard Henry Courtney, though he 
 has neither Tre, Pol, 
 nor Pen to his patro- 
 nymic, is as trucu- 
 lent a Cornishman as 
 ever _ that rugged land 
 sent into the world. Mr. 
 Courtney is the son of 
 a banker, and, as might 
 have been expected, 
 showed a fine bent for 
 figures, which he turned 
 to good account at 
 Cambridge, where he 
 graduated second wrang- 
 ler. His knowledge is 
 encyclopaedic. He is 
 able to discourse fluently 
 on any subject, from a 
 problem in political 
 economics to the shade 
 M of a lady’s dress, the 
 
 Kight Hon. chiaroscuro of a new 
 
 L. H. Courtney. painter, or the plat of 
 a great chef. This 
 facility is no doubt the result of many 
 years’ training on the Times. He was called 
 to the bar in 1858, turned journalist, held 
 the chair of Political Economy at London 
 University College, visited India in 1875, and went 
 into Parliament in 1876. In 1880 he was made Under- 
 secretary of State in the Home Department, and 
 the following year succeeded Lord F. Cavendish as 
 Financial Secretary. Mr. Courtney is an 
 indefatigable worker, and, though he “ scorns 
 delights and lives laborious days,” does not despise 
 
 lawn tennis, and is a habitue of private views. 
 He is a devotee of proportional representation — a 
 reform which he advocates not merely on abstract 
 mathematical principles, but on account of the 
 greater diversity and variety which he thinks it 
 would introduce into the representative system. 
 He is one of the few who have not banished the 
 dismal science to Saturn and Mars, and if 
 his light is rather a dry light, he spreads it with 
 an industry which is almost enthusiasm. He is the 
 adviser and guide of the House of Commons on all 
 private Bills — the advice which he tenders is, as a 
 rule, extremely sensible and in the public interest. 
 Mr. Courtney is also, we must not forget to add, 
 a strong and convinced supporter of Women’s 
 suffrage. As Chairman of Committees he has 
 been a remarkable success, and commands the 
 respect not only of the majority but of the Irish 
 members. The Tory rowdies alone suspect him, 
 for he keeps, they say, his hearing ear for their 
 interruptions and turns his deaf one to those of 
 the Irish. Mr. Courtney married in 1883 Miss 
 Kate Potter— a lady well known in the East-end 
 for her good deeds, and who, unlike many others of 
 her family, is a Unionist militant. Mr. Courtney 
 confesses to 60. “ A stiff run uphill,” he said at 
 
 the declaration of the poll, “ for a man who was 
 60 last week is not so easily done.”

 and is a son of the Hon. William Lowther. He is 
 37, was educated at Eton, King’s College, London, 
 and Trinity, Cambridge, and is a barrister. In 
 1885 Mr. Lowther adopted what has been the 
 regulation formula for Tories leaning on Liberal 
 Unionist support (here Mr. Lowther was sent in 
 against a chip of the old Lawson block by the 
 Howard of Graystoke influence); he is in favour, 
 that is, “ of extending to Ireland the same justice, 
 the same laws, the same privileges, and the same 
 rights of self-government, as may hereafter te 
 given to England, Scotland, and Wales,” and he 
 has promised to support any such scheme of Home 
 Rule for Ireland “ from whatever quarter the same 
 might originate.” He was a Charity Commissioner 
 (unpaid) for several years, and for the last eight 
 months has been Under-Secretary for Foreign 
 Affairs. As a relative of Lord Salisbury, he helps 
 to keep the family party snug in the House of 
 Commons and at the Foreign Office. He answers 
 questions adequately, and has had nothing else to 
 try his mettle. Some surprise was caused by the 
 Speaker’s selection of him a few years ago as one 
 of the Chairmen of Committees — a post generally 
 reserved for “potent, grave, and reverend ” seniors. 
 However, Mr. Lowther, though young both in 
 years and parliamentary experience, is genial and 
 popular ; and the histrionic skill for which he was 
 lamous in the “ A.D.C.” at Cambridge should 
 make him a good diplomat.

 The House of Commons was visibly depressed 
 when a temporary aberration of the electors 
 excluded Sir Wilfrid 
 Lawson for a brief 
 period from Parlia- 
 ment. For though 
 he is not now 
 unchallenged as the 
 humourist of the 
 House of Commons, 
 there is none 
 whom the House 
 regards with at all 
 the same affection. 
 As he gets older, he 
 gets merrier ; and 
 neither the trucu- 
 lence of the Tories, 
 nor all the wicked- 
 ness of all the pub- 
 licans has checked 
 his flow of quips 
 and cranks and 
 puns and gibes. 
 These last six years, 
 including the two Tory croppers over the com- 
 pensation question, have been good years for hira, 
 and in the cheerfulness of his heart he has been 
 many times moved to break out in lhvme — a habit 
 in which he has cultivated a great facility. He is, 
 as every one know 1 , the standing proof that wine 
 and wit are not inseparable, for he is a total 
 abstainer himself, and as President of the United 
 Kingdom Alliance an advocate of the abstention 
 of others ; and in all other respects he is the most 
 uncompromising Radical alive. In private life, 
 he is the cheeriest and kindest of beings. He 
 was privately educated, and is 63.

 Mr. Theodore Fry has sat for Darlington since

 Fry is a member of the 
 Pease family. It was 
 the fact of this close 
 relationship of the hon. 
 member with the Pease 
 family which lent a 
 special piquancy to 
 this latest contest. In 
 1886 Mr. Arthur 
 Pease, who formerly 
 represented Whitby as 
 a Liberal, contented 
 himself with giving an 
 active support to the 
 candidature of Mr. 
 
 Arnold Forster, but in 
 1892 he boldly came 
 out into the open on 
 his own account. Sir 
 
 i oseph Pease and Mr. 
 
 >avid Da'e, the 
 manager of the great 
 Pease businesses, supported Mr. Fry ; while 
 his brother-in-law, who is married to an Irish lady, 
 enjoyed the countenance of a number of the 
 friends and relatives of the great Quaker house, 
 including the supporters of that eminent warrior. 
 Sir Henry Havelock-Allan, whose daughter is 
 married to the son of Sir Joseph Pease, who 
 was rejected at York. Mr. Fry. is neither 
 a magnetic candidate nor an attractive speaker, 
 but he is a worthy man, and has taken special 
 pains to acquaint himself, and thus to acquaint 
 others, with the grievous facts of our rule in Ire- 
 land. Mr. Fry was born at Bristol, and was 
 educated at the public school there. He is a 
 cousin of Mr. Justice Fry and Mr. Fry, ex-M.P. 
 for Bristol. He is 56.

 Mr. George Osborne Morgan b a distinguished 
 Welshman, whose name vividly recalls the pro- 
 longed and heated 
 controversy which pre- 
 ceded the settlement 
 of the Burials Ques- 
 tion. He is tne son 
 of a Carnarvonshire 
 clergyman, and was 
 born in 1827. From 
 Shrewsbury he went 
 to Balliol College, 
 Oxford, where he 
 graduated B.A. in 
 first class classics in 
 1850, and made the 
 following splendid aca- 
 demic record : New- 
 digate prize foi English 
 Verse ; Chancellor's 
 prize for English 
 Essay ; Craven 
 Scholar ; Eldon Law 
 Scholar ; and Stowell 
 Civil Law Fellow. He was elected M.P. 
 for Denbighshire in 1868, and Mr. Glad- 
 stone made him Judge-Advocate-Genera! in his 
 1880 Administration, when he was sworn of the 
 Privy Council. In the 1886 Administration he 
 was made Under-Secretarv for the Colonies — 
 perhaps to propitiate Prince Bismarck, for Mrs. 
 Morgan is of German extraction. During the last 
 Parliament he returned to the charge against the 
 Welsh Church, and said on one occasion that it was 
 so much occupied in fighting di-sent that there 
 was danger of its forgetting to preach Christianity. 
 When called to book for this he retorted that he 
 ■should have been nearer the mark if he had said 
 “practise” instead of preach. In one of the 
 reviews a short time since he answered Lady 
 Jeune’s indictment of Society in an article entitled 
 “ Are we really so very bad ?" Mr. Osborne Morgan 
 •thinks that we are not so bad as we were, and not 
 so bad as Lady Jeune thinks. But Society, in his 
 ■opinion, if not so very wicked, is at least very 
 •vulgar, and “among the many services rendered by 
 Mr. Gladstone to his party not the least valuable 
 is their exclusion from the dressy, showy, noisy, 
 and unspeakably vulgar clique of men and 
 women who presume to call themselves ‘ London 
 Society.’ ’

 the eldest son of Mr. John Roberts, late M.P. 
 for Flint Borough, and the author of the Welsh 
 Sunday Closing Act. Wealthy, cultured, much- 
 travelled, and, for his years, experienced in affairs, 
 he is a capital specimen of the earnest young 
 men to whom Wales is wisely turning for repre- 
 sentatives. His family have resided in the county 
 which he now represents for nearly fifty years — 
 Liberals and Nonconformists to the core ; and 
 from the moment he was induced to stand against 
 Colonel Cornwallis West _ those who knew the 
 county best had no misgivings as to the result. 
 Mr. Roberts has travelled in America, the East,

 a very smart little spark 
 of a lawyer. He is 
 small in stature, youth- 
 ful in appearance, pert

 to have emitted more

 Reform and N.L.C. 
 
 It were an interesting inquiry how much of the 
 distrust which Sir William Harcourt excited even in 
 some Liberal circles is 
 due to his defects, and 
 how much to his merits. 
 Undoubtedly some of it 
 is due to his extraordi- 
 rary cleverness ; for 
 there are many persons 
 who are sure that if 
 there is nothing of a fool 
 in a man there must be 
 something of the knave. 
 And Sir William’s dis- 
 \ r -j tinguishing character - 
 istic is his cleverness. 
 ^ His speeches on the plat- 
 
 form are not cnly ratt- 
 ling and rollicking, but 
 are generally brimful of 
 witty and happyphrases. 
 In the House he is an 
 excellent debater, and as 
 leader of the Opposition during Mr. Gladstone’s 
 absence he did exceedingly well. He has a great 
 gift for lucid exposition, and on the rare occasions 
 when he condescends to be serious commands a 
 flexible and sinuous prose. This was heard at its 
 bast during the last Parliament in Sir William’s 
 funeral oration on Prince Albert Victor— 
 which was quite the best of the evening. 
 Sir William Harcourt is also an accomplished 
 lawyer ; and though it is the fashion to sneer at 
 his law, a; well as at his sincerity, he had very 
 much the last of the laugh on two important 
 occasions when his law was contradicted by Sir 
 Edward Clarke. Sir William was educated 
 at Trinity, Cambridge. He sat for Oxford 
 from 1868 to May, 1880, when Mr. Hall, 
 the local brewer, turned him out, and Mr. 
 Plimsoll retired from Derby to make room for 
 him. He was a Q.C. at the parliamentary 
 bar, “ Historicus” in the Tunes , a contributor 
 to the Saturday . Solicitor-General 1873-74, 
 Home Secretary 1880-85, and Chancellor of the 
 Exchequer 1885-86. He was a great friend of 
 Lord Beaconsfield. The present Lady Harcourt, 
 his second wife, is a daughter of Motley, the 
 historian. He is a great reader — much given, as 
 all the world knows, to cultivating the pleasures of 
 his own fireside ; and in his character of the 
 Squire of Malwood is devoted to the beauties of 
 nature. He is 65.

 received the Prince of Wales when 
 But, big man as he is

 pires to be bigger still 
 at Westminster. Shares 
 with Mr. Gladstone the 
 honour of giving his 
 name to a party— a 
 party of his own crea- 
 tion, called Jacobyns. 
 He has also conferred 
 upon himself the privi- 
 lege of going hatless 
 1 ike a Whip, and he may 
 be seen on all import- 
 antoccasionsinthe lobby 
 or on the cress benches, 
 armed with official 
 weapons and much bur- 
 dened with the sense 
 of responsibility ; while 
 the waverer is making 
 up his mind upon new 
 questions, Mr. Jacoby 
 •simply takes charge of them. Thus for a time 
 he took the eight hours question bedily under 
 his mantle and had the reward of being called 
 a “great and good” man bv certain of the 
 ■miners themselves. In addition to found- 
 ing the Jacobyn party, his chief achievement in 
 the last Parliament was the introduction of a b 11 
 for the suppression of Jacko the monkey and the 
 London organ-grinder — whereupon J. K. S. sang 
 in the columns of the P.M.G. : —

 Sir Balthazar Walter Foster is one of the few 
 Birmingham men who did not follow Mr. 
 
 Chamberlain into the 
 Midland cave, and who 
 does not think the Tory 
 party to be the party 
 of reform. He is, on 
 the contrary, one of 
 Mr. Gladstone’s most 
 obedient, devoted, and 
 attached servants, and 
 has enjoyed the Libera! 
 education which results 
 from spending a day 
 or two days in his 
 leader and master’s 
 company. For it was 
 he who entertained 
 Mr. Gladstone when the 
 latter went to Bir-

 Medicine at Queen’s College, Birmingham, 
 &c., &c.), “ instead of which,” or in addition to

 backward in coming forward has already cultivated 
 the official manner. He is 52, and was educated 
 at Drogheda (where his father lived) and on the 
 Continent. He is still a consulting physician in 
 Birmingham.

 Mr. Hudson E. Kearley is entirely a self-made 
 man. His father was a carpenter at Uxbridge, 
 and the village school- 
 master obtained for 
 him when fourteen an 
 appointment as clerk 
 in a firm of tea 
 merchants in Fen- 
 church - street. He 
 showed remat kable 
 business aptitude, 
 served his employers 
 well, and when twenty-

 account. Prosperity

 rental of £3,500. and 
 
 employ nearly 2,000 hands. As he has had 
 occasion to remember, since his keen fighting 
 capacity rendered him a formidable opponent to 
 Captain Price and Mr. Harvey, Colonel North’s 
 partner, Mr. Kearley belonged only a few years 
 ago to the fine old crusted Tory party, was an 
 ardent Church defender, and delighted to pose as a 
 pillar of the Primrose League ; indeed, the chief 
 personal incident of the recent campaign centred 
 upon the question how late wa; he in leaving the 
 party, and he offered a cheque of £500 to his 
 opponents if they could prove their points that he 
 was a very recent recreant — a prize they are not 
 likely to secure, Mr. Kearley being on the 
 
54 
 
 day before the poll buttressed in his denials by 
 telegrams from official Conservatives with whom 
 he had been associated. It was political ignorance 
 which made Mr. Kearley a Toiy, and jt was the 
 sight of Mr. Balfour’s coercive work in Ireland 
 which made him a Liberal. Mr. Kearlev has 
 exhibited a special talent in mastering the intri- 
 cacies of the local questions of Devonport, and, 
 remembering that he is a young man — he is only 
 36— he may prove a Ritchie or a Jackson some 
 day.

 Mr. E. J.C. Morton’s was a victory for enthusiasm, 
 eloquence, and Home Rule. He is neither 
 rich nor locally con- 
 nected; but he is an 
 enthusiastic preacher of 
 the gospel of Imperial 
 Home Rule, and is a 
 speaker of considerable 
 eloquence. He was 
 educated at Harrow 
 and St. John’s, Cam- 
 bridge, where he was 
 president of the Union. 
 Mr. Morton took his 
 degree in the mathe- 
 matical tripos of 1880, 
 and soon afterwards 
 became actively iden- 
 tified with the work 
 of University Exten- 
 sion. His labours in 
 this connection were of 
 a very arduous and suc- 
 cessful character. He 
 organized courses of lectures in the North of 
 England, and himself lectured on the subject of 
 astronomy for the University of Cambridge. He 
 was a member of Mr. Albert Grey’s Committee of 
 twelve formed to combat “ Jingoism ” previous to 
 the General Election of 1880, out of which grew 
 the Eighty Club. Even in his undergraduate 
 days he was an avowed Home Ruler, and 
 in the year 1877 was one of a minority of 
 23 in the Cambridge Union Debating Society 
 who voted in support of a motion in favour of 
 Home Rule for Ireland. After the last General 
 Election Mr. Morton arranged for courses of lec- 
 tures on Irish affairs to be given in different parts 
 of the kingdom, on the lines of the University 
 Extension movement, and out of this scheme grew 
 the Home Rule Union, of which he is now secre- 
 tary. Mr. Morton, who is 35 and unmarried, has 
 Scotch b'ood in his veins, being a descendant of 
 Leslie, who commanded the troops at Dunbar ; 
 while his father’s uncle was a nephew of Dr. 
 Thomas Chalmers, who founded the Free Church 
 of Scotland.

 Mr. Arthur O’Ccnnor is one of the most con- 
 scientious and painstaking men in a party which 
 is pre-eminently 
 one of hard 
 workers. He is 
 the reverse of 
 showy, and per- 
 haps his most 
 obvious claim to 
 public notice is 
 that he is num- 
 bered upon the 
 rota of Chairmen 
 of Committees. 
 Utterly un-Irish, 
 he is interesting 
 mainly because 
 he is so very un- 
 like most of his 
 colleagues. Mr. 
 O’Connors path 
 to the chair 
 was waterid with the tears of chairmen. 
 He has studied the rules as closely as Mr. Healy, 
 but in a spirit of his own. A curious taste for 
 detail, a monomania for miscroscopic propriety, 
 made him a sort of embodied Nemesis of chair- 
 men’s slips. The same qualities appear in his 
 criticism of the Civil Service Estimates. He 
 was once the most industrious of ten-to-four men 
 in the War Office. His intimate acquaintance 
 with the precise qualities and price per yard of all 
 the various species of red tape in use in various 
 departments of the Civil Service makes him a terror 
 to Under-Secretaries, and has enabled him in 
 past times. to do a good deal of quiet service 
 in the way of polite obstruction. Other than 
 polite Mr. Arthur O’Connor never was. His 
 sedate, departmental figure, his roll of notes, 
 his sober and mechanical speech, are familiar 
 to every member of the House. His father was 
 a London physician of social standing. He himself 
 was lately called to the Bar, and he held a brief in 
 the Parnell Commission. His colleague and name- 
 sake, Mr. T. P. O’Connor, has told the world the 
 story of Arthur O’Connor and the Chelsea Work- 
 house. That obscure leaf in his history throws an 
 almost pathetic light on the puzzling nature of the 
 dry, drab, closely buttoned, pertinacious man, 
 whom it is so hard to imagine playing a game or 
 possessing any joy in life. He is an intense 
 Catholic. He heard that the Catholic paupers of the 
 Chelsea Workhouse were being bullied and Pro- 
 testantized by a Poor Law Board of bigots. He got 
 elected a guardian, mastered every penny in the 
 accounts and detail of the administration, fought 
 the bigots single-handed, step by step, wore them 
 out. and in one year of office carried every point 
 for his workhouse co-religiomsts. He is 48.

 Mr. John Gordon Swift MacNeill is one of 
 those men whom many people laugh at but every-

 zeal outruns both his 
 discretion and his ar-

 liarity in the latter once 
 suggested the descrip- 
 tion of him as “ a 
 warm heart struggling 
 with a hot potato.” 
 He has served .Mr. 
 Balfour as a butt, but 
 he served Mr. Parnell 
 more solidly, by ob- 
 taining a subscription 
 to the party needs of 
 £10,000. At least, it 
 has always been said 
 that it was the elo- 
 quence of Mr. Mac- 
 Neill, on one of his 
 Mr. J. G. S. MacNeill. visits to South Africa, 
 which converted Mr. 
 Cecil Rhodes to Parnellism. Mr. MacNeill has 
 written several careful works on Irish history, which 
 Mr. Gladstone has greatly praised ; ?and he is a 
 mine of information about the speeches and pro- 
 ceedings of the Union period. He was born in 
 1849, was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, and 
 is Professor of Constitutional and Criminal Law 
 in Trinity College, Dublin. He is a Protestant, 
 and takes a keen interest in the natives of South 
 Africa. He is one of the few members who suc- 
 ceeded in defeating. the Unionist Government 
 during the late Parliament. The occasion was 
 the breach of privilege committed in connection 
 with the Mombasa Railway vote.

 By-election (on Mr. O’Hea s resignation), May

 Mr. T. D. Sullivan represents the Nationalist 
 muse. He has succeeded to the harp that once 
 rang through Tara’s 
 hall. Without doubt 
 he is a patriot among 
 the poets ; and he 
 passes for a poet 
 among the patriots. 
 
 Poet or not, he has 
 set going some ring- 
 ing rhymes among his 
 countrymen which 
 have played a part in 
 theNationalist move- 
 ment. “ God Save 
 Ireland,” in the fight- 
 ing days, became 
 their National 
 Anthem ; and as a 
 poem it was at least 
 equal to ours. It is Mr. t . d Sullivan. 
 told that as they lay 
 
 along the river on the night of a bloody battle of th® 
 American Civil War Federals and Confederates 
 alike sang Sullivan at one another across the 
 water. The white-haired old bard sings his own 
 ballads with the fire of youth. He was cradled in 
 Nationalism, and his family is twice related 
 by marriage with the Healys. He does not 
 appear to advantage as a speaker at Westminster. 
 On an Irish platform, or at an Irish dinner-table, 
 it is otherwise. During the late Parliament he 
 was Lord Mayor of Dublin — an office which he 
 adorned in a novel way. After some public 
 baths and washhouses were opened by him,

 his lordship proceeded to ‘ ' inaugurate ” 
 them by stripping and taking the first plunge, 
 closely followed by the Town Clerk — an im- 
 promptu swimming match, in which the Chief 
 Magistrate won hand over hand. The hero of this 
 exploit is 65, having been born at Ban try in 1827. 
 During the year of his Lord Mayoralty he was 
 sentenced to two months’ imprisonment for publish- 
 ing reports of “suppressed” meetings in the 
 Nation , and was escorted to prison by the mace- 
 bearer and his colleagues of the council. He was 
 a first-class misdemeanant, and employed his 
 enforced leisure, like Tasso, in writing lays. The 
 great reception with which he was greeted in 
 England when Mr. Balfour let him out of gaol was 
 a faint echo of the enthusiastic affection with 
 which he is regarded in Ireland. He is extremely 
 popular on English platforms, and has spared 
 himself no pains to convert the English people to 
 Home Rule.

 Mr. Wyndham is known as the alter ego of Mr. 
 Balfour. As private secretary to that gentleman, 
 his name has been 
 appended to most of 
 the audacious figures 
 and sarcastic flouts 
 which have made thi 
 Irish Secretary so 
 beloved by his poli- 
 tical friends and 
 detested by his poli- 
 tical opponents. He 
 made one or two 
 speeches in the late 
 Parliament which 
 proved him to possess 
 some smartness on his 
 own account, and he 
 is now reckoned to be one of the rising 
 young men of the Ter/ party. Mr. Balfour 
 remains his patron, and he occupied the same 
 seat on the bench behind the First Lord of 
 the Treasury as he lad previously occupied 
 behind the Chief Secretary for Ireland. Mr. 
 Wyndham, who. is aristocratically connected, is mar- 
 ried to Lady Sibell Mary Lumley, youngest sister 
 of Lord Scarbrough, and widow of Earl 
 Grosvenor. He was. formerly in the Coldstream 
 Guards, and served in the Suakin Expedition of 
 1885. He is 29, and is said by some authorities to 
 be one of the two best-looking men in the House.

 Waring is an old name in county Down. More 
 than half a century ago t he Loyalists of Down 
 assembled to “ enter 
 their protest against 
 concession being made 
 to clamour.” Titled 
 ladies and gentlemen 
 were there with their 
 tenants ; but the earliest 
 in the field were Holt 
 Waring and his men. 
 The Rev. Holt Waring 
 was on the occasion 
 “drawn by the people.” 
 Even then — fi'ty years 
 ago— Dean Holt, the 
 grandfather of the 
 gentleman now elected, 
 lamented that “ they 
 were reduced to the ex- 
 iremity of supporting 
 little more than the 
 remains of a Constitu- 
 tion.” The hon. member 
 is the eldest son of Major H. Waring, and was 
 
 Col. Waring, 
 
 educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He is a 
 landlord, and served as High Sheriff of Down- in 
 1868, and has held the chief commands in the local 
 militia. He has been thrice ma’-’-ied and is 64.

 the following passage from a speech which he 
 delivered during the Ulster Convention will show : 
 — “In the fairest hour of her noble voyage the 
 Imperial sails are to be taken down and the ship 
 of State to be broken up into rudderless rafts, the 
 sport of party passions and the laughing-stock of 
 fihe world, and all this tragedy is to be when the 
 present age is rich with hope and every moment 
 jewelle 1 with joy. Then is the curtain to fall after 
 a tragedy as deep and dark as can be woven in the 
 warp and woof of political treachery and Imperial 
 death ; a passage which bears a curiously close 
 
 resemblance, by the way, to an oration by Cclanel 
 Ingersoll. He is 41.

 Mr. T. D. Sullivan’s successor is a mild- 
 mannered, good-hearted doctor, who has for a 
 number of years been 
 closely identified with 
 the Nationalist move- 
 ment, sitting for South 
 Cork from 1885, and in 
 the days of the united 
 party Mrs. Kenny used 
 to hold a species of 
 salon in his fine old 
 house in Rutland-squara 
 East. Dr. Kenny was 
 particularly the brother- 
 in-arms of Mr. William 
 O’Brien, of whom he 
 took the most tender 
 care, Mr O’Brien re- 
 covering from his cruel 
 tussle with Mr. Bal- 
 four’s myrmidons in his 
 iiuuk. aju.l wuKJix l ,1 v. o F "i :”came Dr. Kenny ulti- 
 mately took sides with Mr. Parnell, and many 
 friendships were severed. Dr. Kenny did his “time” 
 -as a “ suspect,” and he also served the party (it is 
 universally believed) by getting Mr. Parnell’s 
 famous “ No Rent” manifesto out of Kilmainham 
 ■Gaol. He was identified with the “Boulogne” 
 incidents ; Mr. Parnell used to make Dr. Kenny’s 
 house his headquarters when he visited Dublin ; 
 and in the bitierness which ensued from the fall of 
 Mr. Parnell, he resigned the post of medical officer 
 of one of the leading Catholic seminaries, because 
 of persecution, as he maintained, on account of 
 his political action. Dr. Joseph Kenny, who is 
 now forty-seven, graduated with considerable dis- 
 tinction at the Catholic University of Ireland ; 
 but as. this institution had no power to claim the 
 recognition of degrees conferred, Dr. Kenny was 
 obliged to obtain his legal qualifications as 
 physician and surgeon at Edinburgh. He is now 
 “Coroner for the City of Dublin.

 1886 : Harrington (P), unopposed. 
 
 The greatest piece of good luck which befell Mr. 
 Parnell when he had fallen on evil days was 
 probab'y the capture of 
 Mr. Tim Harrington, 
 and with him most of the 
 machinery of the 
 National League. For 
 Mr. Harrington was the 
 Carnot-Schnadhorst of 
 Ireland. He had his 
 hand on the machinery 
 of public opinion, and 
 he had perfected his 
 engine till it responded 
 to his lightest touch. 
 That so many branches 
 should have declared 
 against Mr. Parnell was 
 almost a miracle ; for 
 ! Mr.^T. Harrington. Tim was a caucus boss 
 ► a l’Amdricaine, and as 
 
 much down on unregulated enthusiasm as on the 
 use of alcohol, which he never tastes. In this 
 character he has in past yearrs done really good 
 service in the suppression of crime and extreme 
 measures. In those old days he was rarely at 
 a loss when Mr. Balfour arraigned the League. 
 At the time of the O’Shea divorce case he was 
 absent in America with Messrs. Dillon, O’Brien, 
 and T. P. O’Connor, and the first notification of 
 his adherence to Mr. Parnell was the absence of 
 his name from the telegram call ng upon Mr. 
 Parnell to resign. It was not long before he came 
 out as a Parnellite hot and strong, and from that 
 time he has shown r.o tenderness to his former 
 colleagues. He is one of the many Irish 
 members who served his apprenticeship to 
 Parliament on a plank bed. While still 
 
 in confinement in Mullingar Gaol, for a speech 
 he had delivered in the previous year, in February, 
 1883, Mr. Harrington, who was the proprietor of 
 the Kerry Sentinel, was sent to the House of 
 Commons for Westmeath. During the Balfourian 
 regime he served a term of six weeks’ imprison- 
 ment for publishing reports of “ suppressed meet- 
 ings.” His physique has given him a special 
 prominence on the Irish benches, and the House 
 has often been startled by the boisterousness of his 
 cheers and the loudness of his voice. He is 41, 
 and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin.

 and has held several 
 law offices of the Crown 
 for short periods of 
 time. Mr. Plunket is 
 one of the most pleasing 
 and polished speakers 
 in the Conservative 
 party ; but a slight 
 impediment in his 
 speech makes him un- 
 available for emer- 
 gencies. He was First 
 Commissioner of Works 
 under the Tory Govern- 
 ment 1835-6— a post to 
 which he was reap- 
 pointed in the present 
 Administration. Some one has said that the 
 only good thing which a First Commissioner 
 of Works can do in this country is to do nothing. 
 Judged by this standard Mr. Plunket’s Commis- 
 sionership has not been unsuccessful— its chief 
 “ works” having been the enlargement of the

 Mr. Brooke Robinson, like his father before 
 him, has been coroner of Dudley. He has now 
 retired from practice 
 and lives in the 
 country, but has con- 
 tinued, they say, to 
 qualify (at election 
 times) as “a Dudley 
 man ” by occasionally 
 taking a house there. 
 He was educated at 
 Rugby, and is 56. In 
 politics he is an imi- 
 tator of Lord Ran- 
 dolph Churchill’s style, 
 Mr. Gladstone’s Home 
 Rule scheme being, in 
 his opinion, “ the 
 maddest thing ever 
 hatched out of Bed- 
 lam.” He considers the extinction of licences 
 without compensation to be “ one of the most 
 flagrant acts of dishonesty ever proposed,” and 
 he described his opponent’s policy as one “of 
 overturning churches, ruining licensed victuallers, 
 giving himself a salary, and requiring from the 
 ratepayers a considerable portion of his election 
 expenses.”

 Captain John Sinc'air, who unsuccess'ully con- 
 tested the Ayr Burghs as a Glacstonian in 1886, 
 was educated at the Royal Academy. Edinburgh, 
 at Wellington College, and at Sandhurst. From 
 1879—1887 he served in the 5th Lancers, being at 
 Suakin in 1885 with the Expeditionary Field 
 Force. He is a great friend of Lord and Lady 
 Aberdeen, and was aide-de-camp to them in 
 Ireland in 1886. Next year he resigned his 
 commission in order to devote himself entirely to 
 political and social work. In pursuance of the 
 latter he was a resident for some months at 
 Toynbee Hall. He has specially interested him- 
 self in discharged soldiers, and has helped to form 
 an Aid Society on their behalf. He was also the 
 founder and organizer of the “ London Playing 
 Fields Committee.” Captain Sinclair has the best 
 intentions, excellent backing, and adequate abili- 
 ties ; and, as he is still only 32, is likely to be 
 heard of.

 Mr. Robert Threshie Reid, Q.C., is known to his 
 friends as “ Bob.” A hard-headed Scot, but genial 
 withal, an accomplished 
 lawyer and an indefati- 
 gable worker, Mr. Reid 
 has alreadv made for 
 himself a reputation of 
 which anv man might 
 be proud. At Oxford 
 he was scholar of 
 Balliol, a hrst class 
 man and Ireland 
 scholar, and at the 
 same time was in the 
 University eleven and 
 played racquets for 
 the “’Varsity.” In 
 the House of Com- 
 mons he is popular 
 for his hearty man- 
 ner. and respected for 
 his undoubted abilities. “Bob” was born . in 
 1846, and is the second son of Sir James Reid, 
 of Mouswald Place, county Dumfries ; was 
 called to the bar in 1871, and took silk 
 eleven years later. He is much in request 
 at the Law Courts, and if you do happe n 
 to drop in upon him in his pleasant chambers 
 in Temple-gardens, overlooking the river, you 
 will probably find him up to his eyes in briefs, 
 though he aids their digestion by the fumes from a 
 short but beautifully coloured clay. During the 
 late Parliament he has been ranked with the 
 “ Young Oxford Party,” and, in spite of his forty- 
 six years, no one disputes his title to be called 
 young. Together with Sir Charles Russell, Mr. 
 Lockwood, and Mr. Asquith, he was briefed as 
 counsel for the Irish members in the Parnell Com- 
 mission, and was often seen at his test in Appeal 
 Court No. II. He is a constant contributor to 
 the monthly periodicals, and is never happier than 
 when picking his way through the constitutional 
 puzzles of a possible Home Rule Bill. He is a 
 Home Ruler all round, and a Scottish Home 
 Ruler not least. He is a presiding spirit in the 
 Eighty Club. Mr. Reid married in 1871 the 
 daughter of Captain Fleming, of the xst Dragocn 
 Guards.

 M.P., to subm't to President Cleveland the 
 views of trade unions on this important matter.

 He has not a strain of bitterness in his disposition, 
 and, apart from politics, he is generous and 
 liberal - minded. His record as a citizen is 
 honourable, and his reputation as a man stain 
 less. The only thing the Chronicler has to say 
 against him is that “ he would be all the better for 
 a dash of the Bohemian, both in his doctrines and 
 deliverances. They are each temperate, but they 
 are also occasionally tepid, if not depressing. His 
 speeches contrast unfavourably with the oratory ol 
 his father, which was faultless in s'yle and admir- 
 able in substance.” Sir Joseph was born in 1828 ; 
 educated privately; married in 1854 to Miss Fox,

 object to rabbit-coursing when properly conducted, 
 and that he likes a good dog himself.” This was

 Palmer ; indeed, he 
 founded the town. There, 
 when the building of 
 ships of iron had scarcely 
 gone beyond the region 
 of speculation, Mr. Pal- 
 mer, then a young busi- 
 ness man, with keen 
 desires and great fore- 
 sight, started on a small 
 scale the yard for the 
 building of iron ships 
 which has since acquired, 
 along with the iron mines, 
 blast furnaces, and rolling 
 mills associated therewith , 
 a world-wide fame. His 
 company finds employ- Sir C. M. Palmer. 
 ment for an artisan army 
 
 15,000 strong. Sir C. Palmer is also largely 
 interested in coal mines — in fact, he was the com- 
 mercial representative of the late Mr. John 
 Bowes, the great Durham coal-owner and sports- 
 man. Sir C. Palmer is president of the Newcastle 
 
 Chamber of Commerce, and is one of the English 
 directors of the Suez Canal Company. He 
 was first mayor of Jarrow in 1875. He was 
 born at South Shields (where he now owns glass 
 works) ; sat for the old Northern division of 
 Durham from 1874, to 1885, and was baroneted 
 in 1886. He has been three times married, and 
 although he is 70 is said to be as clear-headed

 Mr. William McEwan is the Bass of Edin- 
 burgh. His great brewery stands in the southern 
 division of the city, and 
 he is intimately known 
 and highly k rtspected all 
 over the south of Scot- 
 land. He is, of course, 
 wealthy, and his works 
 of charity and mercy, 
 even in the eyes of tee- 
 totallers, cover a multi- 
 tude of “ sins.” Among 
 other benefactions to 
 the city he has given 
 large sums of money to 
 the University and the 
 Infirmary, and only 
 recently gifted a con- 
 siderable amount in 
 connection with art in 
 Scotland. He has also 
 done much kindness 
 by stealth. It is not too much to say (writes the 
 Dundee Courier) that he has been the main sup- 
 port of the large proportion of the artisan foot- 
 ball and cricket clubs in the city, and for years he 
 has spent from £C09 to £700 a year in continuing 
 the education of deserving boys at the Heriot 
 Watt College. Mr. McEwan’s father was a 
 shipowner at Alloa, and he himself received his 
 education there. He is 65.

 Mr. J. Seymour Keay 
 earned for himself the 
 nickname of Mr. Say- 
 more Keay in the last 
 Mr J Seymour Keay. Parliament ; but the 
 name is not altogether 
 
 happy, for he stands in no need of encourage- 
 ment to continue talking. It is to his credit that 
 he has an appalling mastery of facts, figures, and 
 fractions, but at the close of his speeches there is 
 seldom any one left to dispute them. His -prin- 
 ted address to the electors at the beginning 
 of the present contest was perhaps the longest 
 document of the kind issued by any can- 
 didate ; but length is one of Mr. Keay’s 
 great points. He is a Scotchman by birth, 
 
 and is fifty-three years of age. Having served an 
 apprenticeship in an Edinburgh bank, Mr. Keay 
 went to India in 1862 as manager of several branches 
 of the Bank of Bombay. He succeeded in esta- 
 blishing an agency at Hyderabad ; and, owing to 
 the representations of Sir Salar Jung, Mr. Keay re- 
 signed his office in the Bengal Bank, and took 
 service, with a view of inspiring confidence in the 
 native capitalists of Hyderabad, under the native 
 Government. His sympathies with the rights of the 
 natives of India were, however, subversive of the 
 personal interests of certain Anglo-Indians, and 
 Mr. Keay’s appointment was cancelled. Mr. Keay 
 speaks several of the native languages with fluency, 
 and besides his knowledge of Indian finance has 
 special knowledge of Egyptian affairs, having fre- 
 quently visited Egypt, and he is the author of the 
 vigorous exposition, “ Spoiling the Egyptians.”

 No higher praise can be given to Mr. Asquith 
 than to say what is the simple truth — that only one 
 complaint is ever made against him, and that is 
 that he speaks too seldom in the House and nurses 
 his reputadon too tenderly. It is high enough by 
 now, and has been sustained long enough, to need 
 so much nursing. None 
 of the Oxford men of 
 the last decade made 
 a greater reputation 
 there than he, and he 
 has fully justified both 
 at the bar and in poli- 
 tics the high expecta- 
 tions formed of him. 
 He went to Balliolfrom 
 the City of London 
 School, took a first in 
 Greats and the Craven 
 Scholarship, and was 
 elected to a fellowship 
 at his college. The 
 hard-headedness and 
 hard work implied in 
 these achievements 
 soon gave him an excel- 
 lent junior practice at 
 the bar. He was junior 
 to Sir Charles Russell 
 in the Parnell case. He “ saw his chance,” as 
 Miss Lottie Venn says, “and took it.’’ His legal 
 arguments often favourably irnpressed the judges, 
 whilst his masterly cross-examination of Mr. Mac- 
 donald, the manager of the Times , covered poor 
 “ Simple Simon ” with ridicule. As a speaker also 
 Mr. Asquith has sustained his university reputa- 
 tion. For some years after he went down, Mr. 
 Asquith was the Plancus of the Oxford Union ; 
 and budding orators of a later day were told by the 
 more knowing that the leve of debate was no 
 
 Mr. H. H. Asquith. 
 
longer what it was “ when Asquith was president.” 
 This one can well believe, for his speeches both in 
 Parliament and on the platform are admirable. 
 His passage of arms in the House with Sir Richard 
 Webster over the forged letters was very effective. 
 He is an advocate of what is called Home Rule 
 on Federal lines, and he had the independence to 
 pray for more “ light.” Mr. Asquith is married, 
 and is 40.

 “ J. K. S.” made an ingenious essay in what we 
 may call onomatopoeic criticism when he spoke of 
 a happy time coming in which the Rudyards 
 should cease from Kipling, and the Haggards 
 ride no more. In a similar vein it has been said 
 that the distinguishing feature of Mr. Birrell as 
 an author is that he birrells so pleasantly— chirp- 
 ing and twittering, as it were, upon the tree of 
 literature. It was, as will be remembered, by his 
 clever volume of critical essays entitled “ Obiter 
 Dicta ” that Mr. Augustine Bin e.l first made a name 
 for himself. He has 
 subsequently drawn on 
 the same vein of dainty 
 wit, with equal success, 
 in a second series of 
 “Ob'ter Dicta,” and 
 more recently in “ Res 
 Judicatae,” while a 
 paper on Gibbon 
 achieved the unique 
 distinction of rousing 
 Mr. John Morley to 
 enthusiastic hyperbole. 
 
 “ Mr. Birrell,” said the 
 great man, “has given 
 us a number of pun- 
 gent, of pithy, of 
 witty, of live, and 
 of deep-reaching say- Mr. A. Birrell. 
 ngs, which we shall 
 
 aii remember as long as we remember literary 
 criticism at all.” Mr. Birrell is also a 
 barrister, is a good speaker, and often writes 
 the literary causerie in the Speaker. He 
 is the son of a Baptist minister at Liverpool, 
 and was educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. 
 He is 42, and has been twice married — his 
 present wife being the widow of Mr. Lionel 
 Tennyson, and a cousin, we believe, of the Earl of 
 Elgin, who is a large proprietor in Fifeshire. Mr. 
 Birrell is a strong Radical, and one of his first 
 speeches in Parliament was in support of Mr. 
 Labouchere’s line on the Royal Grants question. 
 “ The scope of the inquiry might be restricted,” 
 said Mr. Birrell, “ but you could not restrict the 
 sphere of men’s reflections.” Mr. Birrell supports 
 an eight hours day for underground workers.

 Lord Salisbury’s “b’.ark man” is in, and enters 
 Parliament as the first direct representative 
 of India. India could hardly have a more 
 distinguished representative, and it was a happy 
 coincidence that the Gaekwar of Baroda was 
 visiting England at the moment when his 
 former Prime Minister was elected M.P. Mr. 
 Naoroji’s career has been biilliant from the 
 outset. He was educated at the Elphinstone Col- 
 lege, Bombay, and besides carrying off prizes 
 innumerable made crack scores for the native 
 cricket eleven. From student "he advanced by 
 gradual steps to Professor of Mathematics 
 and Natural Philosophy, and was a'l the time 
 
 immensely active in good works (including 
 even the starting of 
 newspapers) in Bom- 
 bay. In 1855 he gave 
 up mathematics for 
 merchandise and came 
 to London as partner 
 in the firm of Gama 
 and Co., the first 
 Indian house to be 
 established in England. 
 
 He started the London 
 Indian Association and 
 the East India Asso- 
 ciation, all the while 
 keeping a vigilant eye 
 upon questions of 
 Indian finance, and 
 helping several public 
 men, notably the 
 late Mr. lawcett, to graduate in their 
 studies of Indian problems. In 1874 he re- 
 turned to India as Prime Minister of Baroda, 
 then in the most rotten _ condition financially 
 and socially. How effective was Mr. Naoroji’s 
 purge of Baroda, Sir Lewis Pelly, who succeeded 
 him, and many other eminent Anglo-Indians, have 
 publicly testified. He was shortly afterwards 
 made a member of the Legislative Council of 
 Bombay, and Lord Reay, in offering him the 
 appointment, yaid a handsome compliment to 
 his ability and experience. He is a Farsee 
 and the son of a Parsee priest, anl was born 
 at Bombay in 1825. He is not black, nor any- 
 thing like it, and we shall be surprised if he is the 
 darkest member in the new House of Commons. 
 He is an eloquent speaker, and, as Mr. Bryce once 
 said of him, “ has character to enforce his views, 
 and capacity to express them.” N.L.C.

 “ Born in East

 lands said in the 
 opening sentence of 
 his address; and in 
 this spirit of local 
 patriotism he has 
 given the most 
 assiduous attention 
 to London ques- 
 tions. He has betn 
 the champion of the 
 Whitecross - street 
 costers, and he led 
 the fight for carving 
 an open space out of 
 the old House of 
 Correction. He has 
 been a strong advo- 
 cate for the exten- 
 sion of local government throughout London, and 
 bes.des a Police Bill he has introduced a 
 measure for abolishing the qualification for vestry- 
 men, and for abolishing aldermen on the L.C.C. 
 He is secretary of the association for securing the 
 Enfranchisement of Leaseholds, and in that 
 capacity prepared a year or two ago a very 
 useful little precis of the laws of foreign countries 
 on the point. Naturally he served on the Town 
 Holdings Committee. But he has also done good 
 service in the cause of Ireland. He has made 
 repeated, visits to the “ distressful country,” and 
 he has given off his impressions with vivid effect to 
 many country audiences, especially at by-elections. 
 He has “International” sympathies, and he is an 
 a:tive memberof the Workmen’s Peace Association. 
 Mr. Rowlands by trade is a maker of watch-cases, 
 and he got his education at evening classes at the

 Finlay and Co., mer- 
 chants. Retired in 
 1883. He was some 
 years a member of the 
 Corporation, was Pre- 
 sident of the Chambers 
 of Commerce in 1876„ 
 and is well known 
 for his active interest 
 in many works of 
 philanthropy. In par- 
 ticular, he is an au- 
 thority on the board- 
 ing-out of pauper 
 
 children, and he took 
 a prominent part in 
 the crusade for the 
 protection of women. 
 He has also attempted 
 to wake the conscience of the House to the 
 national dangers of the sale of immoral and 
 criminal literature among the young. On all 
 
 these subiects Mr. Smith is heard with great 
 respect in a small House. Unkind nature^ has 
 handicapped his enthusiasm by giving him a very 
 weak and querulous voice. But he is the 
 representative of the stronger sex, and it was to 
 his sympathetic ears that Mr. Gladstone confided 
 his views against Female Suffrage. Mr. Smith was. 
 educated at the . University of Edinburgh. He

 Limerick, and the Irish College, Paris, and is in 
 partnership with his father as a tradesman at 
 Mallow. He is a brother of the Father Sheehy 
 who was one of Mr. Forster’s suspects. Mr. 
 Sheehy himself has received two marks of atten- 
 tion from Mr. Balfour — three months for one 
 speech, and one month for another. The conduct 
 of the magistrate in refusing him bail at a time 
 when his wife was dangerously ill was the sub- 
 ject of some severe criticism by Mr. Gladstone. 
 Mr. Sheehy is not an effective speaker, but can at 
 times say “ strong ” things. “ What might be a 
 fair rant to pay?” he asked when addressing his 
 constituents on one occasion. A voice responded, 
 “ Nothing,” followed by a burst of laughter and 
 applause. “I like your music,” said the worthy 
 member, “and I hope that many will learn it.” 
 Mr. Sheehy was the central figure in one of the 
 Irish scenes at the House, when a Royal Irish 
 constable served a Coercion summons on him in 
 the outer lobby. Mr. Balfour afterwards disowned 
 the outrage in Parliament before a burst of indig- 
 nation. Has represented Galway since 1885, and

 Mr S. T. Evans is a prominent member of the 
 Young Wales group who played a ve y active part 
 in the opposition to the Clergy Discipline Bill. By 
 profession he was formerly a solicitor, but he has 
 now been called to the bar and pra:tises in 
 London and on the South Wales circuit. He 
 is 33, tall, broad-chested and athletic, and has a 
 bright and breezy presence which conciliates even 
 when he is least conciliatory. He is a 
 good speaker, and in his brief parlia- 
 mentary career has acquired quite a polished 
 House of Commons manner. He has been very 
 useful and persistent in his criticism of Lord 
 Halsbury’s County Court appointments. He is a 
 Congregationalist and a strong disestablisher, but 
 he explained to the House that his attitude on 
 the Clergy Discipline Bill was purely in the 
 interests of the Church.

 Mr. Arthur John Williams is perhaps best 
 known as the originator of the National Liberal 
 Club. Abarristerfcalled 
 at the Inner Temple in 
 1867, and going for 
 several years the South 
 Wales Circuit), Mr. 
 Williams has interested 
 himself in law reform, 
 and has served as hon. 
 sec. of the Law Amend- 
 ment Society, and hon. 
 sec. to the Legal Edu- 
 cation Association. He 
 was also secretary to the 
 Royal Commission on 
 Accidents in Mines, but 
 he refused the salary 
 of £4C0 a year attached 
 to the office. In recent 
 years Mr. Williams has 
 devoted himself exclu- 
 sively to politics, and 
 he made a good fight 
 
 Mr. A. J. Williams. for the Liberals at Bir- 
 kenhead in 1880. He 
 is a Nonconformist, and is a member of the Execu- 
 tive Committee of the Liberation Society. At the 
 inaugural banquet of the National Liberal C'ub's 
 own building Mr. Wil ianis trembled with emotion 
 in acknowledging the compliments paid to him, 
 and spoke with the voice of a man who feels that 
 his life’s work is done. Happily, however, for the 
 Liberal party, Mr. Williams’s voice on that occa- 
 sion belied him. He has won in a marked degree 
 the confidence of the division in which he was 
 born, and in which his family have for generations 
 maintained the cause of civil and religious liberties. 
 Mr. Williams is 56, but looks young for his years.

 Mr. Daniel David Randell is a solicitor and 
 practises at Llanelly. He had the distinction at a 
 by-election in 1888 not only of beating his Conser- 
 vative opponent, Mr. Llewel yn, but also of ousting 
 Sir Horace Davey from the Liberal candidature. 
 Among the reasons for his local popularity 
 is the fact that 1 uring his eighteen years’ 
 practice he has never taken up a case of an 
 employer against a workman, and he has also the 
 reputation of having won many a legal fight for 
 the Trade Unionists in South Wales. The Tin- 
 plate Workers’ Association owes its origin largely 
 to Mr. Randell’s tact and perseverance. He is 
 honorary secretary to the local Chamber of Com- 
 merce, a member of the Local Board of Health 
 and Harbour Commissioners, and a County Aider- 
 man. Mr. Randell’s accomplishments unfortunately 
 do not include a conversational knowledge of the 
 Welsh tongue. He is 38.

 In Mr. William Abraham (“Mabon,” as he is

 puts it) a genuine “re- 
 presentative of the self- 
 taught myriads of the 
 Cymry. He goes to 
 the House of Com- 
 mons a most admirable 
 pecimen of the kind of 
 men reared by the 
 Welsh Sunday Schools, 
 the Eisteddfod, and the 
 musical choirs of the 
 land of his birth.” He 
 is the son of a working 
 miner, and himself till 
 a few years ago was a 
 miner also. He would 
 prove an ugly fellow if 
 provoked to physical 
 combat, for though 
 bulky he is a giant 
 in strength. He is the 
 happy possessor of a fine tenor voice, and he 
 can sing the “ Men of Harlech,” they say, as no 
 other man can. He has been chief agent of the 
 miners of South Wales since 1873, and he is deputy 
 chairman of the Sliding Scale Committees forth* 
 district. Hitherto he has been known among his 
 
 Mr. W. Abraham, 
 
 Parliamentary colleagues as “ Mabon ;” now his 
 friends may, if they please, revert to the use of his 
 proper name, since the Irish Mr. William Abraham 
 (also a most popular member) did not seek re- 
 election. “ Mabon ” is 50.

 Mr. William Baird, the great ironmaster, was 
 sent to Eton, proceeded to Christ Church, Oxford, 
 and thence went into the army, where he served 
 six years as a lieutenant in the 16th Lancers. 
 Although Mars and Venus are very good friends, 
 when Mars marries he sells out if he can. When 
 Mr. Baird married the daughter of Sir James 
 Fergusson he doffed the shako and turned his 
 attention to politics. He wants to “co-operate 
 with the eminent statesmen of both the historical 
 parties to achieve a solution of Irish troubles by a 
 liberal concession of local government, whichmight 
 be equally applicable to England, Wa'es, and 
 Scotland.” He is opposed to Scottish Disesta- 
 blishment, but in favour of “ the reunion of the 
 Presbyterian Churches on a satisfactory basis.”

 Sir George Trevelyan is an example to show that 
 the possession of riches and the attainment ot the 
 Kingdom of Heaven are not always incom? 
 patiblel for, during the same year, he at once 
 entered upon his ancestral acres and “found 
 salvation.” It was the political character of 
 the Coercion Bill that effected Sir George’s 
 
 c 
 
66 
 
 conversion, coupled with a disinclination to follow 
 the rest of the Unionists in swallowing their 
 pledges. The Round 
 Table Conference cannot 
 he counted wholly a 
 failure, since it resulted 
 in the return of Sir 
 George to the fold, and 
 his declaration at the 
 beginning of 1887 that 
 the Irish question must 
 be treated at once, and 
 treated “ thoroughly, 
 radically, and reme- 
 dially,” probably 
 helped to make up 
 a good many waver- 
 ing minds. For as Irish 
 Chief Secretary under 
 Mr. Glad.-tone he had 
 had experience of the 
 oldhybrid po icyofcoer- 
 cion and conciliation 
 which gave point to his 
 much misrepresented 
 saying that the game of law and order was up. But 
 if his Irish record is chequered, he has other very 
 substantial claims to a high position in the Liberal 
 party. It was to him more than to any other 
 man that the abolition of purchase in the army 
 and the enfranchisement of the agricultural 
 labourer was due. He is still the swo- n foe of 
 privilege and monopoly, and no man pegs away 
 with such pe:sistency at the House of Lords, the 
 fagot voter, and the Established Churches. He is 
 quite clear in his own mind as to the things which 
 ought to be done, and will at any time run 
 you off a Libeial policy on the fingers of 
 Loth hands. According to his enemies he 
 -makes a fetish of the Liberal party ; accord- 
 ing to his friends he is merely too Liberal to 
 be a dissentient Liberal. He is a fine scholar 
 .and in all respects a full man, excellent company, 
 and most entertaining in conversation. But this 
 brilliant side of him somehow fails to come out in 
 his public speeches, which would probably be more 
 effective if less elaborately composed. He was 
 born in 1858, but looks older than his years — the 
 result, probably, of his very anxious and arduous 
 time in Ireland before the Home Rule days. If 
 Sir George Trevelyan were not a politician, he 
 would be counted a considerable man of letters. 
 He has written a first-class biography of his uncle 
 Lord Macaulay, a brilliant Life of Charles James 
 Fox, the “ Competition Wallah,” and a great deal 
 of dramatic and satirical vers“, of which “The 
 Ladies in Parliament,” and “ The Dhawk Bun- 
 galow ” are perhaps the best known. Sir George 
 took a high degree at Trinity College, Cam- 
 bridge, was called to the bar (Inner Temple), 
 and represented Tynemouth from 1865 — 68. He 
 has been successively a Lord of the Admiralty, 
 Secretary to the Admiralty, Chief Secretary for 
 Ireland, Chancellor of the Duchy (with a seat in 
 the Cabinet), and Secretary of State for Scotland.

 was certain exposures in relation to contracts.

 Sir James Carmichael, Bart., “ was born (says

 College. He entered 
 the Civil Service at 
 the age of seventeen, 
 obtaining by com- 
 petitive examination 
 a clerkship in the 
 Admiralty Office. It 
 falls to the lot of few 
 men to have such a 
 - good political training 
 asSirJames. Sincehe 
 entered the Civil Ser- 
 vice he has been en- 
 gaged in political 
 work, and there is 
 scarcely a department 
 in the State service of 
 which he has not 
 already some know- 
 ledge. In 1864 he was 
 attached as private 
 secretary to Sir 
 William Hutt, then 
 Vice-President of the Board of Trade, and in 1874 
 he was appointed to a similar post under Mr. John 
 
 Bright. When Mr. Childers was First Lord of the 
 ralty and Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir James 
 also acted as his private secretary. In his service 
 with the Commission of Liquidation, which sat at 
 Cairo in 1880, he showed marked ability, for 
 which the Khedive decorated him with the Order 
 of the Medjidieh of Egypt. Finally he was 
 private secretary to Mr. Gladstone during his last 
 Administration. He is 48.

 Mr. Archibald L. Cameron Corbett was born 
 thirty-six years ago, and was educated at the 
 Glasgow Academy. His 
 father was the founder 
 of the cheap dinner 
 scheme for the working 
 classes in Glasgow. Mr. 
 Corbett himself is a 
 director of the “ Decora- 
 tive Co-operators,” an 
 association which he 
 assisted Mr. Albert Grey 
 to form on the partici- 
 pation of profits prin- 
 ciple. He is a friend of 
 Mr. Chamberlain, whom 
 he has followed in the 
 present cris : s. Mr. Cor- 
 bett’s formula is the 
 Tory one, “ local liberty 
 for Ireland to the widest 
 Mr. Cameron Corbett, extent which could 
 ultimately be applicable 
 to Scotland, England, and Wales,” which did not 
 prevent him from supporting the stone-and-snail 
 bill. Like Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Corbett goes in 
 for postcards, and got an endorsement in that 
 form of his vote against the Home Rule Bill 
 from 1,700 of his constituents. To judge from his 
 election address, he is of opinion that Coercion is 
 a fine old Scotch institution. We have entered 
 Mr. Bennet Burleigh as “ Independent,” but 
 perhaps he would be more correctly described 
 as a Burleighite. It is mainly through his vote 
 that the Tradeston Liberals were not able to 
 enforce the very cordial invitation which they 
 gave Mr. Cameron Corbett to resign some three 
 years ago.

 The following are the dates and other main facts 
 in Sir Charles Dilke’s recent career : 1886. The 
 case of Crawford v. 
 Crawford and Dilke 
 tried before Mr. Justice 
 Butt. Petitioner 
 granted a divorce on 
 the ground of the re- 
 spondent's guilt with 
 the co - respondent 
 (Dilke). The Queen’s 
 Proctor intervened at 
 Sir Charles’s instance 
 to set above decision 
 aside. Whereupon, 
 second trial before Mr. 
 Justice Hannen. The 
 substantial issue before 
 the jury was, said the 
 Rt. Hon. Sir C. Dilke. judge, to decide “which 
 of these two persons, 
 who have been brought face to face before you, 
 is telling the truth and which is telling what is 
 false." Jury decided against Sir C. Dilke. Sir 
 Charles accepts the verdict and retires from public 
 life — subsequently reiterating the opinion that the 
 charges brought against h m would and should, if 
 true, constitute a bar to public trust, and pledging 
 himself to vindicate his honour by the law. No 
 such vindication has, in spite of repeated chal- 
 lenges, been attempted.

 In Paris. He has not yet attained fluency as a 
 public speaker in the English language, but his 
 views are sound and democratic. Mr. Josse was 
 born in 1822. and studied law at Caen. He was 
 -managing clerk in a solicitor’s office there, and 
 when the Revolution of 1848 broke out he took an 
 active part in the events of the period, as secretary 
 to the Democratic Association of Caen. Being in 
 Paris at the time of the coup cT etat, he strenuously 
 resisted Louis Napoleon’s usurpation, and upon 
 his return to Caen was arrested, imprisoned for six 
 weeks, and finally expelled the country. Mr. Josse

 Sir Thomas Sunderland, K.C.M.G. (he received 
 the well-merited title in 1891), personifies the far- 
 famed P. and O. 
 
 Company He is 
 a native of Aber- 
 deen, and was edu- 
 cated at the Gram- 
 mar School and 
 University there. 
 
 He began his busi- 
 ness life in an 
 office in the granite 
 city, and at the 
 time of the first 
 Exhibition Mr. 
 
 Sutherland, then 
 a lad, entered the 
 P. and O. office in 
 London. In course 
 of time he was 
 sent first, to 
 India, and then to 
 Hong Kong, 
 where, becoming agent, he fought a battle of reform 
 aga'nst the local government, and the Government 
 elected him a member ofthe Legislative Council , and 
 he took other positions of responsibility. In 1867 Mr. 
 Sutherland returned to London to become one of the 
 managers of the company, when it was at low water 
 mark. In conjunction with Mr. Henry Bayley 
 he introduced reforms which won for it the 
 popularity with both shareholders and investors 
 which it now enjoys ; afterwards __ he became 
 managing director, and in 1881 chairman of the 
 company. Mr. Sutherland has borne an important 
 part in the settlement of Suez Canal difficulties in 
 a manner satisfactory to this country ; and he is 
 now a director of the Suez Canal Company and 
 chairman of the Suez Canal Board in London. He 
 took a leading share in the negotiations which 
 resulted in the appointment of the Royal Commis- 
 sion on Mr. Chambet Iain’s Shipping Bill ; and he 
 sat on the Load Line Commission. Mr. Suther- 
 land was one of the Executive of the Health Exhi- 
 bition, and his hospitalities on the occasion of the 
 Jubilee Naval Review were widely appreciated. 
 He was born in 1834. He is a Scot to the very 
 finger-tips, and an electioneering story is told of 
 him which adds one more refutation to the not-- 
 riously untrue saying that Scotsmen have nos^nse 
 of humour. After one of his election speeches, 
 and when the “heckling” was in full blast, the 
 audience was startled by the apparition of a man 
 who loudly demanded, in reference to a recent 
 domestic occurrence, how Mrs. Sutherland and 
 the baby were. “ If I did not know you were 
 conscientiously opposed to hereditary legislators,” 
 was the quiet reply, “ I should say the future 
 M.P. for Greenock and his mother are doing 
 remarkably well.”

 Sir C. Russell, perhaps the most distinguished

 is a nephew of the late Dr. Russell, Presi-

 Newman speaks in his ' ‘ Apologia as the 
 “dear friend to whom, under Heaven, I am in- 
 debted for my conversion.” He was born in 1006

 Dublin, and sat for Dundalk in the 1880 
 an unsuccessful candi- 
 date in 1874. Sir C. 
 Russell’s career at the 
 bar is too well known 
 to need description ; 
 he has figured in nearly 
 every “ cause celebre ” 
 since" Saurin v. Starr.” 
 His conduct of the 
 Iiish case before the 
 Special Commi-sion — 
 " that forum in which," 
 as Lord Rosebery puts 
 it, " Sir Charles almost 
 presided ” — was 
 equally masterly and 
 masterful, and has en- 
 sured him a place on 
 the illustrious roll of 
 Advocates for Liberty. 
 He was called to the 
 bar (Lincoln’s Jnn) 
 in 1859, and took si k twenty years ago. 
 Unlike many leaders at the bar, Sir C. Russell 
 - is not an exceptionally early riser, but he has an 
 extraordinary faculty of getting to the root of things 
 very quickly. He can do with remarkably little 
 sleep, and finds time both to iide and to go to 
 Newmarket. So great, indeed, is his authority on 
 turf matters that in the famous Bend Or case 
 briefs for both plaintiff and defendant were sent for 
 his acceptance. Sir C. Russell also plays a very 
 good hand at whist, and is one of the few thorough- 
 going snuff-takers of his generation. He has an 
 excellent 11 House of Commons manner,” his special 
 forensic gift — that of “ carrying weight ” — being 
 just suited to that assembly. He has done 
 yeoman s service to his party in London during 
 the last year, and has probably made more 
 political speeches than any man has ever made 
 in the same space of time. He established 
 some years ago a kind of hegemony among 
 the Liberal metropolitan members in his 
 favour, and was chief speaker in Parli intent 
 upon the Trafalgar-square question. On the 
 
 . whole he must be counted one of the men 
 who have made very substantial progress in the 
 | {ate Parliament, even apart from his great expo- 
 sure of Pigottism.

 At the beginning of the late Parliament Mr. 
 Richard Burdon Haldane was regarded merely 
 as a promising young 
 man and a leading 
 spirit of the Eighty 
 Club. At the end of 
 it he was something 
 more— a Q.C. for one 
 thing — and had cer- 
 tainly made his mark 
 as a man of views. 
 For views he has on 
 almost every subject. 
 He is a bit of an indi- 
 vidualist and very 
 much of a Socialist ; 
 he is in favour of get- 
 ting the unearned in- 
 crement for the com- 
 munity, and also of 
 buying out Irish lane' 
 He was one of the 
 little cave or rabbit hole, as they were called, 
 who voted against their party on the proposal to 
 lextend the Ashbourne Act, but has quite re- 
 covered caste with the Radicals by the bill which 
 [he introduced in the last session of the late 
 Parliament giving municipalities the most exten- 
 sive powers of acquiring land. No one can pos- 
 sibly be as wise as Mr. Haldane looks, but he 
 lis for all that no mean philosopher, and after 
 the manner of his countrymen has beguiled

 from that to a considerable practice on his own 
 account on the Chancery side and in Scotch cases. 
 He was educated at Edinburgh University (where 
 he achieved much distinction), and “ finished ” at

 Reform and N.L.C. 
 
 Halifax has been Liberal, with one short aber- 
 ration, ever since 1832, and Mr. Stansfeld, the son 
 of a former county 
 court judge of the 
 town, has been its re- 
 presentative since 1859. 
 Mr. Stansfeld, one of 
 the few specimens of 
 self-sacrificing politi- 
 cians, was so entirely 
 identified for many 
 years with his crusade 
 for the repeal of the 
 C. D. Acts that people 
 almost forgot the dis- 
 tinction of his earlier 
 record — his connection 
 with the famous episode 
 of Mazzini’s letters, and 
 r, TT T j. his long official life. 
 
 Rt. Hn. J . Stansfeld. He was 5 a Lord of the 
 
 Admiralty 1863-64, but resigned owing to the 
 dissatisfaction caused by his intimacy with the 
 Italian patriot, was Indian Secretary 1866, Third 
 Lord of the Treasury 1868-69, Financial Secretary 
 to the Treasury 1869-71, President of the Poor Law 
 (Local Government) Board 1871-74, and President 
 of the Local Government Board (with a seat in the 
 Cabinet), in succession to Mr. Chamberlain, 1886. 
 Mr. Stansfeld has suffered for his convictions, but 
 he is not calculated to "enthuse” any one. During 
 last session he moved a resolution in favour of one 
 man one vote, the reduction of the residentiary 
 qualification to three months, and the appointment 
 of registration superintendents to be responsible 
 for the register ; but this effort at reform failed to 
 command sufficient sympathy, and was lost by a 
 majority of 102. Mr. Stansfeld married a second 
 time in 1887, and is 72. He is a brewer.

 General Walter Tuckfield Goldsworthy (fifty- 
 five years old) saw much active service during 
 the Indian Mutiny 
 and in Abyssinia. He 
 was with the Volun- 
 teer Cavalry in Have- 
 lock s Column in Oudh 
 in 1857 ; served later 
 with distinction in 
 Rajpootana and Cen- 
 tral India; and was 
 brigade major of 
 cavalry with the 
 Abyssinian expedi- 
 tion. He is now on 
 half-pay. He is "a 
 Conservative and a 
 Constitutionalist, and 
 though he deals with 
 the Army and Navy 
 Stores “ deals also 
 with thirty-three 
 tradesmen.” From 
 some personal remi- 
 niscences disclosed in the House of Commons 
 he has won the sobriquet of “ the man in the 
 omnibus.” Mr. Hare is suspected of studying the 
 aspect of General Goldsworthy when " making- 
 up ” for the part of dear, good, benevolent-looking 
 Samuel Goldfinch.

 Mr. Thomas Shaw is a Scotch barrister who 
 occupied the position of “Advocate Depute 
 under the last Liberal Government. He had a 
 distinguished career at Edinburgh University, and 
 has contributed various articles to the Encyclo- 
 pedia Britannica , notably that on Talleyrand. 
 He is said to be a good speaker, and, according to 
 a local admirer, “ his moral earnestness forms the 
 real charm of his style.” That has won him a 
 foremost place among the leaders of the U.P- 
 Synod, and he carries the same quality through all 
 his speeches, whether on Disestablishment or high 
 political themes, or access to mountains or Tweed 
 Fishery reform. He is 42, and a Scotch Home 
 Ruler. Mr. Shaw's early career was marked by 
 the perseverance and honourable ambition of 
 which Scotland can boast so many examples. He 
 was the son of a baker, and supported himself in a 
 lawyer’s office in Edinburgh while attending the 
 University, in which he soon gained manv distinc- 
 tions. He was for four years assistant to Professor 
 Calderwood in the Chair of Moral Philosophy.

 Mr. Charles Henry Wilson has represented Hull 
 since 1874, and has given every satisfaction. He 
 and his brother are the 
 largest private ship- 
 owners in the world, 
 and two of the richest 
 men in the country. 
 He was bred and born 
 in the town which he 
 represents, married a 
 daughter of Colonel 
 Wellesley, and bought 
 from a peer the Priory 
 which is his habita- 
 tion. The Baccarat 
 case brought his 
 brother’s name into un- 
 comfortable prominence 
 last year, but “ Charles” 
 — as he is called in 
 Hull — was not of the 
 famous Tranby Croft 
 party, and has shown 
 no disposition to bear his brother s or his brother’s 
 wife’s burdens. There is an astonishing difference 
 of opinion respecting his personality in Hull. 
 According to one view, he. is a capitalist to the 
 core whose politics are accidental ; according to 
 another, he has a genuine affection for Liberal 
 principles, and applies them to the utmost that cir- 
 cumstances permit. Some sav again that he is a 
 very simple-minded man, whose habit of blurting 
 out uncom r ortable opinions at awkward moments 
 is pure uncontrollable can lour; others hold that 
 this very frankness is h:s craftiest trait, and 
 
 argue him a kind of Bismarck. In the firm 
 of Thomas Wiison, Sons, and Company nothing 
 is allowed to interfere with the maxim that 
 “ business is business, ’ but outside the busi- 
 ness sphere the partners do many works of 
 supererogation, and there are few widows and 
 orphans of those that worked for the firm who are 
 left without prevision. In Hull the Wilsons, are 
 omnipotent ; but as their policy is enterprising, 
 the town has flourished mightily under their 
 sway. It only remains to add that Mr. Cha les 
 Wilson is 59, and that he and his are smart people.

 Mr. Smith-Barry, who just succeeds in holding 
 his seat in South Hunts, has earned himself the 
 distinction of being 
 better hated by the 
 Irish party than any 
 other English member 
 who has n ot been Chief 
 Secretary. For Mr. 
 
 Smith-Barry is an Irish 
 landlord as well as an 
 English member, and a 
 great man in the Loyal 
 ; n i Patriotic Union. 
 
 More than that, it was 
 he who conceived the 
 idea of fighting the 
 National League, and 
 upon whom the League 
 retaliated in New Tip- 
 perary. It happened 
 in this wise. Mr. Smith- 
 Barry had rushed to the 
 aid of Mr. Ponsonby, 
 who was being hard 
 pressed by the Plan of 
 Campaign in County Waterfo'd. The JNational 
 League thereupon decided to carry the war 
 into Mr. Smith - Barry’s camp at iip- 
 perary and merely as a protest against 
 Mr. Barry’s action towards “ their brethren in 
 Youghal." His tenants in Tipperary, tradesmen 
 and little shopkeepers, as well as tenant farmers, 
 threw up their houses and set themselves up na 
 collection of shanties and hastily erected 
 wooden houses outside his property. This 
 protest was exceedingly costly, and when 
 
 the Parnell split came about, the funds 
 
 ran short, and Mr. Smith-Barry was able to score 
 a win. Mr. Balfour has since borne public testi- 
 mony to his “ immense services ” in defeiting the 
 Plan of Campaign, but his success, such as it was, 
 is counted by the Irishmen to have been luck 
 rather than genius. It is said, indeed, that if the 
 Parnell schism could have been avoided the 
 Nationalist delegates would have returned from 
 America at the beginning of 1891 most 
 abundantly armed with _ the sinews, of war 
 for the purpose of fighting Mr. S nith- Barry 
 
 Mr. Smith-Barry. 
 
 Mr. Barry has land in Hants and land in Cheshire, 
 as well as land in Ireland, and his political expe- 
 riences have been almost as var. elated as his pos- 
 sessions. From 1857 to 1874 he sat as a Liberal 
 candidate for Cork, and has been high-sheriff of 
 almost every county in wh ch he owns land. He 
 is 49. He married a daughter of the last Lord 
 Dunraven ; and, secondly, Mrs. Poste, a daughter 
 of General Wadsworth, U.S.A. He was educated 
 at Eton and Christ Church. „

 “ Why, sir,” said Sir Edward Watkin to a Pall 
 Mall incerviewer the other day, “ there are five 
 estates of the Realm 
 now — Queen, one ; 
 
 Lords, two ; Com- 
 mons, three ; Press, 
 four ; and Lord’s, five ; 
 and when I have 
 settled with Lord’s I 
 shall b; ready for 
 Abraham’s bosom.” 
 
 Sir Edward has 
 settled with Lord’s 
 and the Lords— his 
 new line to London 
 having got under 
 Lord’s cricket-ground 
 aid over the Lords’ 
 
 Committee; but he 
 is not going yet 
 awhile to Abraham’s bosom. In that estate 
 there is no marrying or giving in marriage ; 
 but Sir Edwr.rl, in his 74th year, has lately ' 
 led to the altar the widow of the late Mr. . 
 Ingram, a lady of 79, with whom he has 
 every intention of living lor many years in 
 health and happiness. Next to Mr. Gladstone, t 
 Sir Edward is probably the youngest old man in | 
 the world. He has still great powers of work, 
 strength of will, and command of strong language. 
 There is no human reason in his case any more 
 than in Mr. Gladstone’s why he should not live to 
 be as old as Methuselah, and one may confidently 
 predict that it will be some time yet before he is . 
 called to quaff the liquor of the gods in the ( 
 happy isles. Whether it will be before he has . 
 succeeded, by means of the Channel Tunnel, in ; 
 making this isle no longer one, we should not like ( 
 to say ; but he has already converted Mr. Glad- j 
 stone to his cause. He has in other ways had the ; 
 Grand Old Man in tow lately, and t is a remark-', 
 able proof of his business aptitude that he has not, 
 yet found it necessary to make any political return. ( 
 His vote, however, is not looked upon as absolutely, 
 safe by the Tories. Sir Edward is as fond of; 
 summits as of tunnels. He is the promoter of the 
 Watkin Tower, which is to outdo the Eiffel, and he 
 has recently bought the top of Snowdon, whereon 
 he flies the meteor flag ot England and of 
 Watkin, and where he intends (he says) to have 
 a garden of leeks before he dies. As tor his other 
 and more regular avocations, are they not 
 written in the chronicles of the South Eastern, 
 the Metrooolitan, the Manchester and Sheffield, 
 the East London, the Blackpool, and the Neath and 
 Brecon Railvt ays— not to mention the Grand Trunk, 
 cf which he was president for several years? Before 
 entering the railway world, Sir Edward was 
 in business with his father, as a merchant in Man- 
 Chester, where he was educated. It was at this 
 period that he became acquainted with Cobden, 
 of whom and of his friend, Alderman Watkin, 
 Sir Edward (the Alderman’s son) has recently 
 published some interesting recollections. “ Yoa 
 are too modest in disclaiming literary pretensions, 
 wrote Cobden to S r Edward when he sent an 
 early volume of Trivels to the great man. 
 “ The artistic talent of book-making is in 
 you if it were worth your while to take time 
 to apply it.” Howe\er that may be, Sir Edward 
 has applied himself wkh considerable success to 
 artistic journalism. He was a friend of the 
 founder of the Illustrated London News, whose 
 widow he has now married ; he has at various 
 times assisted to build up the fortunes of that 
 successful journal, and he is now one of the 
 directors in the happy family party which owns it.

 R. Webster’s acceptance of office as Attorney- 
 General he was re-elected without opposition. 
 
 Sir Richard Webster has been very much before 
 the public during recent years, owing to his con- 
 nection with “ Pigottism and the Times," and to 
 the way in which, like another Pooh Bah, he 
 had to double the character of Times counsel and 
 Government legal adviser with occasional excur- 
 sions as Sir Richard Webster. This painful posi- 
 tion laid him open to much attack, and led in par- 
 ticular to some bitter passages with Sir Charles 
 Russell, which did not become less mordant after 
 Sir Richard’s “ mean and grudging ” apology on 
 behalf of his clients when the Pigott fraud 
 collapsed. Sir Richard’s chronic expression 
 of insulted innocence and conscious dignity 
 carried him through all his difficulties, which have 
 left no permanent mark behind other than the 
 sobriquets of “ Sir Wretched ’’and “ St. Webster.” 
 By a curious chance Sir Richard was also counsel for 
 another Unionist oracle and prot£g6of the Times — - 
 the notorious Hurlbert. “Dick Webster” (not 
 the Prince of Wales’s Leicestershire friend), lives on 
 Campden Hill, 
 and “ is not a

 university con-

 was called to the bar (Lincoln’s Inn) in 1858, held 
 the obsolete posts of “ tubman ” of the Court of 
 Exchequer 18 7 2-74, and “postman” 1874-78, and 
 took _ silk in 1878. He went the South-eastern 
 circuit and had a very large practice “ in the best

 Christian type of “ English gentleman.” He is 
 very popular with tie B ir, and persora'ly has

 complete without Sir 
 Albert Rollit, Indeed, 
 you may pick up a 
 newspaper and dis- 
 cover that he was in 
 three places at the 
 sam- time. It is his 
 particular sec et to be 
 always mevidence, and 
 since he has ilentyof 
 wits and no false 
 modeuy he rarely 
 mi.ses an opportunity. 
 He stays with Lord 
 
 Sir Albert Rollit. Salisbury at Hatfield, 
 and 1 a . held high office 
 in the National Union of Conservative As .ociations, 
 1 ut what is really thought of him by the front 
 bench is a secret that is very well kept. He both 
 married and made a fortu. e in Hull, and s closely 
 connected with one of the largest shipping firms 
 in the port. But he has a habit of clearing 
 obstacles out of his path, which has male him 
 rather feared than loved by his fe’low-townsmen, 
 and though he has been twice maycr, he was 
 thwarted in his attempt to become member 
 for the borough. He has the zeal of the 
 self-elucated for improving education, and is a 
 very distinguished graduate of London University. 
 By profession he is a lawyer, and a very cunning 
 one, and has established a flourishing branch of his 
 Hull business in London. He is undeniably an 
 able man, and a good speaker, and may go far. 
 He is 50, and was knighted in 1885, when chairman 
 of the Executive Committee of the Jubilee of the 
 Municipal Corporations. He is a t torough-going 
 
74 
 
 champion of Women’s Suffrage, and it was his bill 
 that provoked Mr. Gladstone’s Tory pamphlet.

 Mr. Frederick Charlwood Frye is one of the 
 principal trading and public figures in Kensington, 
 and is a popular 
 favourite. He has been 
 a vestryman for five 
 years, was a member 
 of the defunct Board 
 of Works, and he headed 
 the poll in the 1889 r yj 
 
 L.C.C. election with a V !W-. .*'/ 
 
 majority of 1,300. Mr. 
 
 Frye is the senior 
 partner in the large 
 grocery firm of Leverett 
 and hrye, a business 
 which began with one 
 establishment, and now 
 has over forty branches 
 in various parts of 
 England and Ireland, 
 
 and he is also related by Mr. *. C. Irye. 
 marriage to the great 
 
 wine-trade firm of Gilbey. Previous to joining his 
 brother-in-law, Mr. Leverett, in 1870, Mr. 
 Frye had enjoyed the advantage of a sound 
 legal trading in a solicitor's office ; and 
 subsequently he worked in the General Post Office 
 when that public department initiated the Savings 
 Bank business, under the supervision of his relative, 
 the late Mr. Frank Ives Scudamore. Mr. Frye is 
 a believer in “profit-sharing,” and his local 
 managers have a partnership interest in the several 
 branches. He was churchwarden of St. Mary 
 Abbott’s, Kensington, 1889-91, and has been a 
 Public Library Commissioner from 1887. He was 
 born in 1845, and was educated at Saffron Walden 
 Grammar School. He has also developed an 
 allotment scheme at his country place at Bourne 
 End, and has done good service to his neighbours 
 in the matter of open spaces.

 the Morning Post, and about whose conduct of 
 that paper some not too charitable gossip is to be 
 found in the Lotd Malmesbury’s “Recollections.” 
 Sir Algernon was born at Cambridge in 1830, was 
 educated at Paris and King's College, London, 
 and was intended for the diplomatic service, but 
 became Paris-correspondent of the Morning Post 
 instead, and a friend of the Emperor Napoleon. 
 In 1853 Mr. Borthwick, as he then was, succeeded 
 his father in the management of the Morning Post, 
 and not long afterwards he was a contributor, with 
 Mr. Evelyn Ashley and othe 'S, to The Owi — the 
 precursor of the “ society journals ” of later days. 
 The Morning Post, by the way, is the standing 
 refutation of the idea that “ society ” does not 
 like “society journals ; ” for it is Sir Algernon’s 
 boast that, in all its daily columns of “ society 
 gossip,” the Post has never, under his manage- 
 ment, contained a par which he had not reason to 
 believe (in many cases the best of possible 
 reasons) was acceptable to the persons concerned. 
 In 1870 he married the daughter of Lady Theresa 
 Lewis, niece of the Earl of Clarendon. He was 
 knighted in 1880 for his services to the Tory party 
 by Lord Beaconsfield, and was “ baroneted ” in 
 1887 to make the Jubilee year illustrious. Sir 
 Algernon has a charming place in the Highlands, 
 where he indulges in his iavourite relaxation of 
 fishing — a taste which is shaied by his daughter, 
 and in which (according to a story which he is 
 fond of telling) he was once credited by his own 
 sub-editor as having “Outdone the Miraculous 
 Draught of Hshes.”

 Sir Algernon Borthwick, Bart., distinguished 
 himself in the last Parliament by the gallant way 
 in which, “ firm as a 
 Post," he held the bridge 
 of Westminster, in the 
 interests of carriage- 
 folk, against the inva- 
 sion of the plebeian 
 tram. But though he 
 may fear the plebs, Sir 
 Algernon knows their 
 value, and is not averse 
 from handling their pen- 
 nies — as he showed when 
 he made the clever 
 stroke of reducing the 
 price of the Morning 
 Post fram the aristo- 
 cratic threepence to the 
 popular penny, and 
 of simultaneously adding to its chronicles of 
 fashionable small-beer the advocacy of Tory 
 democracy. This double stroke of policy is always 
 said to have more than doubled the value of Sir 
 Algernon’s property — for his paper is now conned 
 by dressmakers as attentively as by duchesses, 
 and among some Tory politicians is popular 
 for its running of Lord Randolph against 
 the more official Standard. Sir Algernon is 
 an advocate of Women’s Suffrage — as he well 
 may be, for Lady Borthwick’s political .■•a'on is an 
 institution of the capital, and both she and he are 
 shining lights and prime movers in the world of 
 Primrose Knights and Dames. Sir Algernon is a 
 son of the late Mr. Peter Borthwick, for many 
 years M.P. for Evesham, from whom he received

 How and why Sir William Hart-Dyke should 
 have been Minister of Education is a question to 
 which no intelligent answer can be given. 
 There is nothing about him which suggests 
 that education is his speciality, and nothing 
 in his record which explains the appoint- 
 ment. But having been a Tory whip, and for a 
 
75 
 
 brief space Chiet Secretary for Ire’and, he 
 had to be provided for, and the Vice-Presi- 
 dency of the Council 
 was perhaps the first 
 thing handy. Some 
 men have greatness 
 thrust upon them, and 
 Sir W. Hart - Dyke 
 must have been con- 
 scious of this fact when 
 it fell to his lot to pro- 
 pose free education. He 
 may even have felt it 
 the more acutely, be- 
 cause he had happened 
 to be deeply pledged to 
 the opposite view. 
 Finding himself in the 
 same plight as Mr. 
 Chaplin when he pro- 
 posed the Chaplincies, he took the same course 
 and made a bold recantation of his earlier view. 
 Indeed, he has a very open mind, and 
 in his last speech in the House of Commons 
 he let it be inferred that there was hardly any 
 opinion on education which he had not changed 
 since his arrival at the Education Office. He is a 
 poor speaker, and perhaps the thing which he 
 does or did best was playing racquets ; there 
 was a time when no one, amateur or professional 
 could touch him at that. He is a J.P. and D.L. 
 for Kent, and has sat for a Kentish constituency 
 since 1865. He was born in 1837, and educated at 
 Harrow and Christ Church.

 Mr. Aretas Akers-Douelas — born Akers in 1851, 
 double-barrelled by Royal licence, and on succeed- 
 ing to some Scotch estates, in 1875 — was 
 educated at Eton and University, and called 
 to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1874. He 
 •s well known as the chief Tory Whip,* to 
 which post he was transferred from that 
 of Whip to the Fourth Party. At his bidding 
 the mournful messengers “ ride fast," 
 
 like Lars Porsena’s, “ east and west and 
 south and north," but chiefly west, to draw the 
 unwilling Tory members, badger-like, from crush 
 and dinner, small and 
 early, large and late, 
 club, opera, and else- 
 where— for the Whip 
 takes his prey, as the 
 Frenchman takes his 
 
 leasure, oil il le trouve. 
 
 n spite of these un- 
 pleasant duties he has 
 remained on the best 
 terms with his own 
 party, and with the 
 other, and has had 
 fewer accidents than 
 most whips. His worst 
 mishap was the Ascot 
 Division, on June 19, 
 
 1890, when the young 
 bloods tarried so long 
 on the racecourse that 
 the compensation clause 
 of the Local Taxation 
 Bill was oftly saved 
 by four votes. His greatest triumph was the 
 majority of 92 on the Irish Local Government Bill. 
 He is best described in few words as the anti- 
 thesis of Mr. Arnold Morley.

 “ Jimmy Lowther,” as everyone still calls him, 
 lias become rather an extinct volcano. An occa- 
 sional rumble is 
 provoked in him 
 by the ways of 
 the new Toryism, 
 but for most pur- 
 poses the fires are 
 damped down. 
 
 Indeed, most 
 people have prob- 
 ably now for- 
 gotten that Mr. 
 
 Lowther once 
 filled the post of 
 Irish Chief Secre- 
 tary when, it was 
 said, truly or un- 
 truly, that he 
 would receive his 
 deputations in 
 
 jack - bo ts and Right Hon. James 
 scarlet (1878-80). Lowther. 
 
 So short indeed 
 
 are 'political memories, and so fluctuating is 
 political fortune, that whereas ten years ago the 
 newspapers used to report the swash-buckler 
 speeches of Mr. Lowther on politics at greater 
 length than those of any other politician, 
 except Mr. Gladstone and Lord Beaconsfield, to- 
 day he is almost as much out of politics as Lord 
 Beaconsfield himself. But he has his compensa- 
 tions, and as steward of the Jockey Club he is more 
 influential on the turf than ever he was in the 
 House of Commons. He is a Yorkshire man, and, 
 -lthough an ardent votary of the national sport, 
 he is entirely free from the vice of betting. It 
 is said that he has never made a bet in his life. 
 He owns a few racehorses of indifferent quality, 
 but he runs them to win, and he has no 
 patience with the trickery and finesse that are 
 favoured in some quarters. It was his fortune to 
 follow Lord Durham at the historic meeting of the 
 Gimcrack Club, on which occasion he spoke out 
 boldly for the purification of the Turf. On the 
 Turf, “ Jimmy Lowther’s” colours are dark blue, 
 yellow hoops, and white cap ; in politics they are 
 Protectionist and true blue Tory. Mr. Lowther 
 was educated at Westminster and Trinity, Cam- 
 bridge ; was in Parliament from 1865 to 1885 ; and 
 before he became Irish Secretary had been 
 Parliamentary Secretary to the Poor Law Board 
 (1868), and Under-Secretary for the Colonies 
 (1874-8). He is 52.

 In 1885 and 1886 Mr. Stack (P) was returned 
 unopposed. 
 
 Like most of the 
 orators of the Irish 
 party, past and pre- 
 sent, Mr. Sexton 
 may say that his 
 tongue is the pen of 
 a ready writer ; for 
 he is one of the 
 many who owe their 
 career almost en- 
 tirely to journalism. 
 
 He was a clerk at 
 13, and at 21 he 
 began writing 
 leaders for the 
 Nation. He quickly 
 made his mark at 
 that kind of work, 
 but apparently had 
 no thoughts of Par- 
 liaments. Suddenly, 
 about twelve years 
 ago, he got his chance, and was put up at Sligo 
 against Colonel King-Harman, and beat him. 
 For the twelve years from that time the House has 
 known no more assiduous member ; and though he is 
 counted a talker he is also an indefatigable worker 
 in committee-rooms and in committee. Whether, 
 after Mr. Gladstone, he is “ the second orator in the 
 House,” or whether he is only “wind-bag Sexton” 
 is a matter of some contention amcng his friends 
 and opponents. If he could make an hour’s 
 speech at his test he would come near being the 
 first, but when he extends his parable to an hour 
 and three-quarters the House and the reporters 
 are apt to do him the injustice of thinking him the 
 second. At h’s best he is quite the reverse of the 
 wind-bag ; he has humour, brilliance, sparkle, and 
 can make anepigiam. The speech in which he 
 answered Mr. Chamberlain, on the second reading of 
 the Home Rule Bill in 1886, was one of thebestofa 
 very notable debate. His speech on Mr. Parnell’s 
 leadership in Committee Room No. 15 is said by 
 those who heard it to have had dignity and pathos. 
 He has been talked of as a possible leader of the 
 Irish party, and as a maiter of fact does frequently 
 lead the party when the titular leader is not avail- 
 able, but he himself bars the suggestion with the 
 plea of ill health from which he too frequently 
 suffers. Mr. Sexton is 44, and came origin ally 
 from Waterford. He has been Lord Mayor of 
 Dublin, and in that capacity set on foot the 
 national protest against Mr. O’Brien’s prison treat- 
 ment.

 Mr. Bernard Charles Molloy has forsaken the 
 arts of war for the paths of peace. In early life 
 he fought in the Papal 
 wars, and during the 
 Franco-German war he 
 held rank in the French 
 army. He met with 
 rough work in the 
 French operations, where 
 his services met with 
 the recognition of the 
 French Government, 
 who awarded him one 
 of the four special gold 
 medals given for dis- 
 tinguished services dur- 
 ing the campaign. He 
 is an English barrister 
 (Middle Temple, called 
 1872), and is a private 
 chamberlain to the 
 Pope. He was elected 
 ...o v,uuuij — King’s county — in 1880, 
 
 having unsuccessfully contested it against 
 two other Home Rulers in 1874. Of recent 
 years he has diligently, in season and out of 
 season, championed the cause of his country 
 throughout the English constituencies. He 
 believes that it is in England that the 
 battle of Home Rule must be fought 
 and won ; and it is for this reason he has 
 impressed his party with the necessity for 
 a constant education of the Engl sh electorate 
 upon Irish affairs. To the member for the Birr 
 division has fallen the duty of arrangement of 
 speakers from the ranks of the Ir'sh members for 
 political meetings throughout England, and in 
 this respect he has served his party well Mr. 
 Molloy is a gold-mining expert, and his “ hobby ” 
 is chemistry. He has had practical experiences 
 in the goldfields of the United States, Australia, 
 and in the T ransvaal, and is identified with the most 
 modern and successful processes of gold extraction. 
 
 
 He has recently returned from Mashonaland. A 
 series of letters which he addressed thence to the 
 Pall Mall Gazette were generally accepted as giving 
 the fairest view as yet put before the public of the 
 prospects of Mashonaland. He is as popu|ar in Par- 
 liament as he is in salon and club. He is unmar- 
 ried, was educated at St. Edmund’s College, Hert- 
 fordshire, and at the Universities of France and 
 Bonn. He is 50 years old.

 of the levelling ten-

 combining as he does 
 the functions of heir 
 to a Dukedom and 
 partner in a distillery. 
 His father is the Duke 
 of Leeds, and he him- 
 self is, for the son of 
 a Duke, decidedly in- 
 telligent. He was edu- 
 cated at Eton and 
 Cambridge, and for 
 some little time was 
 one of Sir Henry 
 Holland’s unpaid pri- 
 vate secretaries at the 
 Colonial Office. He is 
 a fluent speaker, and 
 is said to have won 
 Lord Carmarthen. his election cn the 
 
 last occasion by his 
 repartee to the interruption, “Does your 
 mother know you’re out?” “ Yes, she 
 
 does,” he instantly replied, “and by Tuesday 
 night I hope she’ll know I’m in.” He is a son of 
 whom any mother might be proud, for he is a 
 very pretty, gentlemanly young man. He ha; 
 represented I ambeth since 1887, and has voted 
 against almost every measure of London reform 
 that has been introduced into the House of Com- 
 mons since he became a member. He is an open 
 advocate of the extreme view of compensation, 
 and has given mortal offence to the temperance 
 party. He married a pretty sister of the present

 Mr. Mark Hanbury Beaufoy, head of an old- 
 established firm of vinegar and British wine makers, 
 is a specimen of the best type of British manu- 
 facturer. He himself 
 is a young man, some 
 thirty-eight years of age, 
 of pleasant manners and 
 address. Educated at 
 Eton and Cambridge, 
 and with all the tastes 
 of a cultivated country 
 gentleman, he neverthe- 
 less has kept to the 
 family business and the 
 family residence in the 
 middle of it. In only 
 one sense is he above 
 his business ; and that is 
 that he lives in a house 
 built over the manufac- 
 tory — lives over his shop, 
 as he is fond of putting it. 
 
 Mr. M. H. Beaufoy. His house — including a 
 very fine and spacious 
 library — is one of the most unexpected things 
 in this most uneapected of cities. It stands 
 back in a yard from the South Lambeth- 
 road, and! presents, with the group of manu- 
 factories and counting-houses, a very unpre- 
 tentious appearance ; but when once you step 
 inside Mr. Beaufoy’s private apartments you feel 
 at once that you are in the home of a family of 
 cultivated taste; and traditions. Mr. Beaufoy 
 shows you with pride his pearl of great price — a 
 first folio of Shakspeare in exceptionally fine 
 condition. In another wing of the library is Dr. 
 Johnson’s chair, and the small folding table on 
 which Thomson wrote the “ Seasons.” One panel 
 is occupied with a fine portrait of Wellington, and 
 other reminiscences of the great Duke meet you 
 elsewhere in the rooms ; for one of Mr. Beaufoy’s 
 ancestors fought with distinction under Wellington. 
 The library was formed by an uncle ; Mr. Beaufoy 
 himself is a fancier of dogs. He was an Alderman 
 of the London County Council, but resigned that 
 position soon after being returned to Parliament. 
 He is specially popular with the working-classes 
 in South London as an employer who has 
 voluntarily introduced the eight hours day among 
 his employees.

 Mr. John Wynford Philipps’s entry into Parlia- 
 ment at a by-election in 1888 was quite a case 
 of “Veni, Vidi, Vici.” 
 
 At the time of the va- 
 cancy beingannounced, 
 
 Mr. Philipps was at 
 Tangier on his honey- 
 moon. He immedi- 
 ately hurried back to 
 England, descended 
 upon Mid-Lanark 
 (where he had never 
 before been in his life), 
 captivated the Liberal 
 caucus, and beat the 
 Tory while dispensing 
 with the few hundred 
 votes given to the 
 Labour candidate. It 
 will be seen from this 
 narrative that Mr. 
 
 Philipps — who is only 
 32— has an amount of 
 self-assurance unusual even in the youngest. He 
 has also a very ready tongue, which he cultivated 
 at the Oxford Union, though in those days his 
 views were, like Mr. Gladstone’s, deplorably “ un- 
 formed.” He was educated at Felstead and Keble, 
 and has been called to the bar ; but having mar- 
 ried a rich wife (Miss Nora Gerstenberg), and 
 being the heir to a baronetcy, he proposes to 
 devote himself entirely to politics. Mrs. Wyn- 
 fcrd Philipps is a well-known Liberal and Women’s 
 Suffrage lady.

 that he was attached to 
 the Marquis of Salis-

 of an Eight Hours Bill for miners and railway 
 servants. Mr. Wilson “ was a shareholder in the 
 City of Glasgow Bank, and holding ten shares, he 
 had to meet calls for nearly £30,000. But he bore 
 the loss cheerfully, and, as the result of his great 
 energy, business ability, and unflinching integrity, 
 the winding up of the bank turned out most satis- 
 factory.’’ He is chairman of a number of public

 Sir Matthew White Ridley was educated at

 the reputation of being 
 one of the ablest men 
 of his generation, but 
 also of being one of 
 the laziest — which latter 
 reputation his generous 
 physique makes him

 would no doubt have 
 got higher by this time 
 — for it is nearly twenty 
 years since he first 
 entered the House —

 taryship. He was at 
 the Home Office from 1878 to 1880, and at the 
 War Offic- and the Treasury successively in 
 1885-6. He is a great man on Committees, Com- 
 missions, County Councils, and the like ; and it is 
 said that he only lost the Speakership in 1886 by 
 losing his seat. He is 50. Is honorary lieutenant- 
 colonel of the Northumberland Hussars, a director 
 of the North Eastern Railway, and has been presi- 
 dent of the Royal Agricultural Society, of which 
 he is still a prominent member. He married the

 County Palatine. Presented the ancient town, 
 with a peal of bells and a public park, 
 which gifts did not detract from his popularity. 
 Invited the children of all the schools in his 
 division the other year to the Manchester Exhi- 
 bition, and, as the vulgar phrase it, “Stood 
 Sam.” When High Sheriff he gave a champagne 
 lunch to ten thousand guests, and, unlike his pre- 
 decessors, extended his invitation to gentle and 
 simple alike, and so taught the snobs a lesson- 
 All this of course means that he is wealthy.

 one of the sensations

 The name of Shuttleworth is a household word 
 hroughout North Lancashire. Sir Ughtred’s 
 father was for some 
 time Secretary to the 
 Council on Education, 
 and the system of in- 
 spection is largely due 
 to him ; but was, per- 
 haps, even better known 
 as vice-chairman of the 
 relief fund during the 
 great cotton famine. 
 Sir Ughtred (who was 
 educated at Harrow 
 and graduated at the 
 London University) en- 
 tered Parliament when 
 he was twentv-four, as 
 member for Hastings, 
 and showed his in- 
 herited interest in 
 , , education during the 
 
 debates on the Act of 1870. In Lord Bea- 
 consfiel.d’s Parliament Sir Ughtred figured in 
 all social and educational discussions, and he 
 has also identified himself with the Municipal 
 Reform League and with the water agitation. He 
 was defeated at Hastings in 1880, but served on 
 the London School Board, the Industrial Schools 
 Commission, and educational trusts too numerous 
 to be mentioned. F is also a shining light at 
 Social Science Con^t sses, and has been very busy 
 for several years a- chairman of the Northeast 
 Lancashire Liber: I Association. His return to 
 Parliament in 1885 was celebrated by his appoint- 
 ment to the Indian Under-Secretaryship, and on 
 7* r * •> o res *i natl on he was promoted 
 
 (April 9, 1886) to the post of Chancellor of the

 Mr. J. H. Maden, who has captured and kept 
 Rossendale for the Liberal party, is a young and 
 wealthy cotton-spinner, 
 member of the firm of 
 John Maden and Sons, 
 Sortngholme. The 
 father, and founder of 
 the firm, was a famous 
 “ Ross, ndale lad,” and 
 there is talk to this day 
 of his capacity, cha- 
 racter, and generosity. 
 It is thought a high 
 compliment to the son 
 to say that he is even 
 as his father was, and 
 as a large employer of 
 labour among his own 
 people Mr. J. H. 
 Maden has already 
 won this and other 
 tit es to respect. For 
 all that, he is a keen 
 man of business, and in spite of hisymth is said 
 to know the staple trade of Manchester as well as 
 the oldest hands. He is a Methodist, and like his 
 father before him fills several important offices in 
 his circuit. He is 30 years old, and was educated 
 at Manchester Grammar School.

 Mr. Roby, is one of the first classical scholars 
 of the day, and the author of a monumental Latin 
 grammar. The early 
 part of his career he 
 devoted wholly to tutor- 
 ing and school-master- 
 ing, He was Senior 
 Classic in 1853, and for 
 seven years remained 
 at Cambridge as Fellow 
 and Tutor of St. John’s 
 College, and examiner 
 in many a tripos. He 
 next became a master at 
 Dulwich, then secretary 
 to the Schools Inquiry 
 Commission, and finally 
 Endowed Schools Com- 
 m‘ssione»\ During this 
 period he was Pro r ess< r 
 of Jurisprudence at Uni- 
 versity College, London, 
 where he lectured on Roman Law. 
 he had married the daughter of : 
 trader, and in 1874 he entered his father-in- 
 lav’s business, which is now the firm of E-men 
 and Roby, sewing cotton manufacturers, Man- 
 chester. When he took to cotton, however, 
 he did not abandon learning, for during the 
 next six years he produced the school edition 
 of his Latin grammar, and the introduction to 
 Justinian’s Digest and Commentary, for wnich the 
 University of Edinburgh gave him an honorary 
 LL.D. in 1884. To cottrn and Justinian he 
 added politics, and quickly became a man of 
 mark in Manchester Liberalism. He is white- 
 haired and in appearance more like a well-to-do 
 agriculturist than a man of learning. As a 
 speaker he is deliberate rather than fluent, but he 
 carries weight. He was one of the Duke of Devon- 
 shire’s nominees for an honorary degree at bis own 
 University of Cambridge, in 1892, and is 62.

 Mr. Robert Leake distinguished himself chiefly 
 in the late Parliament 
 Miners’ Eight Hours 
 Bill. For his action in 
 this matter Mr. Sam 
 Woods, the president 
 of the Miners’ Federa- 
 tion, addressed several 
 meetings for Mr. Leake 
 in the Radcliffe Divi- 
 sion, and issued a mani- 
 festo to the miners, in 
 which he declared that 
 “ no man in the House 
 of Commons had served 
 the working-men of 
 England with greater 
 ability and more 
 energy.” Mr. Leake 
 himself is a well-known 
 Manchester man. Un- 
 til quite recently he was 
 the head of a well- 
 known firm of engra- 
 vers for calico printers. 
 
 He was born at Manchester 68 years ago, and is a 
 cousin of Mr. W. Agnew. He was educated

 Outside Manchester and the City, Mr. J. W. 
 Maclure is chiefly known to fame as one of the 
 directors of the Cam- 
 brian Railway who was 
 called to the Bar and 
 reprimanded b y the 
 Speaker for the dismis- 
 sal of Mr. Station-master 
 Hood. He took his re- 
 primand with Christian 
 humility for the time 
 being, but has since 
 been regarded by his 
 party as rather a pic- 
 turesque martyr, and 
 has obtained a testi- 
 monial from the Presi- 
 dent of the Board of 
 Trade to the effect that 
 he s a much injured man. 
 
 Inside the House his 
 rubicund features, white hair, and explosive 
 manner have earned him the sobriquet of the 
 Whitehead torpedo. Nevertheless, the House 
 has a considerable liking for him, and if 
 anything untoward had happened to him its 
 gaiety would have been visibly eclipsed. In Man- 
 chester he is familiarly known as John William 
 (“ our dear old friend John William ’ Sir W. C. 
 Brooks called him), and he is a Manchester man 
 every inch of him. His father was __ a Manchester 
 merchant ; he himself was born in Manchester, 
 went to school in Manchester, and has been in 
 business in Manchester ever since. His pro- 
 fession is that of insurance broker, but his 
 tastes are catholic, for the thirteen public com- 
 panies of which he is a director include 
 among other beneficent operations raising sulphur 
 in Canada, laying asphalte in Neuchatel, and 
 running trams in Calais. Of no less than seven of 
 these companies he is chairman. He is best 
 known, however, for having been hon. sec. of the 
 Lancashire Cotton Famine Relief Fund, and his 
 efficient administration of that gigantic charitable 
 concern made him deservedly popular. Mr. 
 Maclure is 57.

 those terms can be applied, yet bespeaks 
 great decision and strength of character. He is 
 a public school and University man, and at 
 present holds the commission of lieutenant in the 
 Grenadier Guards. His attention has, however, 
 for some years been turned towards politics as a 
 future career, and during his almost world-wide 
 travels he has taken care to note the political 
 aspects and histories of the countries he has 
 visited. These include practically the whole of 
 Europe, Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Ceylon, 
 and so forth.” He is married to Lady Alice Maude 
 Olivia Montagu, daughter of the seventh Duke of 
 Manchester.

 Colonel Thomas Myles Sandys and his father 
 have both served their country and their Queen. 
 The father was in the 
 navy ; the son, not 
 wishing to flatter his 
 father by imitation, 
 went into the army — 
 the 7th Royal Fusiliers 
 — and saw service in 
 India during the 
 Mutiny. He has not, 
 however, a very high 
 opinion of the military 
 or naval strength of 
 the country, for in his 
 election address in 1886 
 he assured the consti- 
 tuencies that the grant- 
 ing of Home Rule to 
 Ireland would mean 
 “ the revolt of many 
 British dependencies 
 and the dismember- 
 ment and partition of 
 the British Empire.” A speech in which he is 
 alleged to have spoken of the Irish as “ savage 
 dags” who had to be tied up and throttled was a 
 subject of lively controversy during the election. 
 He is a Protestant of the Protestants, holds strong 
 views on most subjects, and expresses them with 
 a vigour which would do credit to any Orange- 
 man. He was born in 1837, and was educated at 
 Shrewsbury.

 The hero of one of the most notable victories of 
 the Election, Mr. Sam. Woods is an addition to 
 the already considerable list of Miners’ Members. 
 He is the son and grandson of pitmen, and him- 
 self entered the pit at seven years of age, becom- 
 ing a pony driver in his eleventh year. He de- 
 voted himself to self-improvement, and, gaining 
 the esteem and confidence of his fellow-workmen, 
 he graduated from the pit to the bank-top as 
 chetk-weighman, then to the post of miners’ 
 agent, and next to the important office of Presi- 
 dent of the Lancashire Miners’ Federation ; and at 
 the present time he is Vice-President of the Na- 
 tional Federation of Miners. The President of 
 the National Federation, Mr. Pickard, M.P., 
 being ill at the time, he was practically the 
 
82 
 
 “ boss ” of the great coal strike in the Midlands 
 at the beginning of 1892. “ Sam Woods,” who is 
 
 46, is a sturdy specimen of the best type of 
 the English working man. He is a man of 
 keen and quick insight, of ready grasp, compre- 
 hensive view, and unquestioned directnessof speech 
 and purpose. Like Mr. Ben Tillett and so many 
 other Labour leaders, he is a local preacher. He is a 
 deacon of a Baptist church, too, and is a Sunday- 
 school teacher. He is an earnest teetotaller ; and 
 has always been regarded, we believe, as a good 
 Liberal. He is held in high esteem in Lancashire 
 and the north of Enzland generally, and has suc- 
 ceeded in winning the good opinion of the coal- 
 owners without sacrificing the confidence of the 
 men. He is rather proud of showing the costly 
 gold watch and chain presented to him at some 
 public function by a number of colliery proprietors 
 to whom he had rendered an important service at a 
 time of local disturbance. A key to the character 
 of the new member and his objects may be obtained 
 from this extract from a reply he made to a Pall 
 Mall Gazette interviewer during the coal strike : 
 
 “ Look here, we are not going to work for nothing, 
 to risk our lives every day for starvation wages, 
 lest we should fail to find a text to support us in 
 the gospel according to John Stuart Mill and Adam 
 Smith. They unfold maxims^ and lay down rules 
 which don’t apply. Our principle is a sound one — 
 of that I am sure. We are placing a check upon 
 com petition ; we are interposing an obstacle in the 
 way of reckless under-seling.”

 Mr. Caleb Wright is a “ self-made” man, and 
 a justification (if we may be allowed the person- 
 ality) for the novelist’s choice of the name of 
 Caleb as appropriate to “ heroes in drab.” His 
 father was a clerk at Tyldesley, and he was 
 one of thirteen children. He commenced to 
 earn a living in a cotton mill, as a piecer, at 
 the mature age of nine, at sixteen became a 
 spinner, and he continued to work in the same mill 
 for twenty-one years. Five years later he started 
 spinning on his own account with Mr. Henry 
 Barton, of Manchester, and ultimately the firm, 
 which was very successful, became C. Wright and

 The Right Hon. Arthur Bower Forwood, Secre- 
 tary to the Admiralty 1886-92, is chairman of 
 the Liverpool Constitu- 
 tional Association, and 
 has for many years 
 been _ the leader of 
 the Liverpool Conser- 
 vatives. He leans to 
 the forward or Ran- 
 dolphian school. He 
 unsuccessfully con- 
 tested Liverpool in 
 1882, when Mr. Samuel 
 Smith won a seat at a 
 by-election, who used 
 to speak of him admir- 
 ingly as “The Young 
 Napoleon,” or the 
 ‘ ‘ J oseph Chamberlain 
 of Liverpool.” But it 
 was some time before 
 he succeeded in orga- 
 nizing any victory for 
 himself, for in 1882 he 
 was beaten by Mr. Samuel Smith. As soon, how- 
 ever, as he obtained a footing in the House, he 
 was made Secretary to the Admiralty, because 
 of his services to the party, and his know- 
 ledge of the mercantile marine. He is not a 
 good, or even a passable speaker ; but it the less 
 articulate, he is the more practical and plodding. 
 Mr. Forwood is a thorough Liverpudlian, was 
 born there, educated there, at the Liverpool 
 College Upper School, is senior partner in a 
 large firm of Liverpool shipowners (Leach, Har- 
 rison, and Forwood), an alderman of the city, and 
 was mayor 1877-78. In addition to the shipping 
 business, he is largely interested in the develop- 
 ment of Central America. He is 56. His elder 
 brother was mayor in 1881, and knighted 1883.

 George the Second has succeeded George 
 the First — so the Southport wags said — • 
 and the new king took 
 the hearts of his people 
 by storm. And no 
 wonder, for the Hon. 
 
 George Nathaniel Cur- 
 zon has a kind of almost 
 regal splendour about 
 him which, coupled with 
 a happy knack of suc- 
 cess, has caused him to 
 excel in all his under- 
 takings. He ca'ried off 
 innumerable prizes at 
 Eton, and at Oxford 
 (where he went as a 
 commoner to Balliol) he 
 took a first in “Mods” 
 and won the Stanhope 
 Historical Essay Prize. 
 
 In “ Greats ” he was 
 given only a second, but 
 this mistake on the part 
 of the examiners was r- vr 
 
 promptly rectified by his Hon * G * N - Curzon. 
 
 being elected to a Fellowship at All Souls. He made 
 a first-rate President of the Union, and his 
 speeches there, as well as at the Canning Club, 
 were even then models of aristocratic oratory. 
 Latterly he has received another lift upwards by 
 being chosen Under-Secretary for India in Lord 
 Salisbury's Government. This promotion he 
 partly earned bya long period of travel in the East, 
 where he studied the Central Asia question on the 
 spot, and produced an excellent and monumental 
 
 book upon Persia. His brief period of office 
 was chiefly distinguished by a little breeze with 
 Mr. Swift McNeill, whom he rather prematurely 
 accused of inaccuracy. He is one of the 
 few Conservatives who have put temperance 
 reform in the forefront of their programme 
 during the present election, and in his address he 
 advocates both local option and Sunday closing. 
 As a speaker the stock thing to say about Mr. 
 Curzon is that he is of the Union Unionist — true, 
 no doubt, in the political sense, but no longer in 
 the academic one. As a matter of fact he is

 little exuberances and pomposities of his Oxford 
 days. He dresses well. He writes articles on 
 everything for the monthlies. He is only 33, looks 
 even younger, and is still unappropriated.

 —Conservative majority, 619. On Mr. Jackson’s 
 acceptance of office as Chief Secretary for Ireland 
 he was re-elected without opposition, 1892. 
 
 Never was there such an accumulation of com- 
 pliments as those which the Tory press heaped 
 upon the head of Mr. 
 
 Jackson when he was 
 appointed to succeed 
 Mr. Balfour as Irish Sec- 
 retary. He was credited 
 — to collate the praises 
 from two journals only 
 — with ‘“distinction,” 
 
 “capacity,” “insight,” 
 
 “ energy,” “ method,” 
 
 “ courage,” “industry,” 
 
 “quickness.” “self- 
 control,” “patience,” 
 
 “tact,” “readiness of 
 s p e e c h,” “good 
 temper,” “ coolness,” 
 
 “ s o 1 i d i t y,” and 
 “shrewdness.” And 
 to think that they 
 should have discovered 
 all this about a gentleman whose appoint- 
 ment, since it happened to coincide with 
 the famous “ Jackson Case,” produced the 
 popular comment, “ What ! the fellow that 
 locked his wife up? Didn’t know he was in 
 politics.” But the fact that Mr. Jackson is not 
 much known in the country was not in his dis- 
 favour ; for in the House he was well known as a 
 capable man ; at the Treasury he had gained the 
 reputation of a competent administrator, and on 
 some flying visits to Ireland— paid while he was 
 still at the Treasury in connection with Mr. Bal- 
 four’s light railways— he showed himself able 
 to take an independent view. The Irish 
 members cannot complain that the English 
 Government does not give them variety in Chief 
 Secretaries — an office which has been filled in suc- 
 cession by a sturdy Scot, a west country gentle- 
 man, a philosophical Radical, a cynical wit, and a 
 shrewd Yorkshireman. Mr. Jackson has not been 
 the least successful of the series ; his business-like 
 conduct and conciliatory temper having fully 
 justified his appointment. His training presents 
 as great a contrast to that of his predecessor as 
 does his character. He is a self-made man, 
 and recalled to his constituents during the 
 present election how, when he was a lad, 
 he had to go to a school some way off his home, 
 and before going to school he used to get up at six 
 n the morning and go down to the tanyard and 
 work until half-past eight. It was, however, not 
 in leather but in worsted that Mr. Jackson made 
 his pile. He is a director of the Great Northern 
 Railway. He contested Leeds unsuccessfully in 
 1876, and has represented it since 1880. He is 52, 
 and was educated privately. His son is captain of 
 the Cambridge eleven.

 The Right Hon. Lyon Playfair, K.C.B., 
 F.R.S., LL.D., is one of the lew men, like 
 Sir JohnLubbock, almost equally distinguished as 
 politicians and as men of science. Sir Lyon 
 has gone further in politics (he was Postmaster- 
 General 1873-74, and Deputy Speaker 1880- 
 83) than Sir John, though Sir John has 
 perhaps gone further in science. Sir Lyon Play- 
 fair has for many years pleasantly instructed the 
 House of Commons, and as Vice-President of the 
 Committee of Council in Mr. Gladstone’s last 
 Government he was emphatically the right man 
 in the right place. In width of reading also 
 Sir Lyon Playfair may fitly be compared 
 with Sir John Lubbock. Some idea of the 
 former s encyclopaedic culture may, perhaps, be 
 gathered from the following list of authors from 
 whom (in addition to several pure scientists) he 
 quoted in his presidential address to the Briti-h 
 Association in 1885 : Emerson, Washington, Swift, 
 
 Frederick William of Prussia, Shakspeare, Milton, 
 Voltaire, Epictetus, Goethe, Virgil, Euripides, 
 Swedenborg, Addison, 
 
 Chi Hwangti, Antipater, 
 
 Homer, Solomon, Jules 
 Simon, Horace Mann.A'li 
 Mahomet, Pope, Philip 
 theGood, Plato, Aristotle, 
 and the Prince Con- 
 sort. He is a Scot, and 
 even to this day has not 
 lost the accent, but he was 
 born in India, his father 
 being at the time Inspec- 
 tor-General of Hospitals 
 in the Bengal Pre- 
 sidency. He was educa- 
 ted at the Universities ot 
 Edinburgh and St. 
 
 Andrews, and afterwards 
 studied chemistry under 
 Baron Liebig at Giessen. Right Hon. Sir Lyon 
 His teaching has been as Playfair. 
 
 diversified as his learning; 
 
 and after working for a short time as manager of 
 some calico-printing works he became successively 
 Professor of Chemistry at the Manchester Royal 
 Institution, Chemist to the Museum of Practical 
 Geology, Inspector-General of Government 
 Museums, and Professor of Chemistry in the 
 University of Edinburgh. He has, moreover, held 
 any number of Government scientific appointments, 
 and has received any quantity of foreign decora- 
 tions. He also took a prominent part in organizing 
 the Exhibitions of 1851 and 1862, and, take him all 
 round, few men living have had so busy and varie- 
 gated a life. To add to his variety of experience, 
 he has been thrice married : his present wife is 
 an American (Miss Russell). He makes an 
 American tour every year. He has not yet suc- 
 ceeded in converting the Yankees to Free Trade, 
 but he brings back from them many stories of wit 
 and humour for the delectation of many an 
 English dinner party. He is 73.

 Mr. Herbert John Gladstone (Eton and Uni- 
 versity College, Oxford) is pictured as a schoolboy 
 with open collars and a 
 smiling countenance, 
 playing marbles or par* 
 taking of surreptitious 
 spoonfuls of jam. This 
 is unjust. He is useful 
 to his party, and has 
 an agreeable presence 
 which is effective in 
 political salons. He is 
 always willing to lend 
 his name for meetings 
 in the country, and his 
 speech on the Crimes 
 Act at the beginning of 
 the last Parliament 
 created a very good 
 impression in the House 
 both for its matter Mr. H. Gladstone. 
 and for its delivery. 
 
 “ It is an echo of the old voice,” members 
 said. Mr. Herbert has also followed in his 
 father’s steps as a public letter-writer, and 
 
 his angry correspondence upon the irrita- 
 ting “Irish Green Book” did much credit 
 
 to his filial heart. He made his entree into 
 politics by fighting a very plucky though losing 
 contest in Middlesex in 1880. He stepped into 
 his father’s shoes at Leeds soon after. During his 
 father’s 1880-85 Government he was one of the Prime 
 Minister’s private secretaries and subsequently a 
 Junior Lord of the Treasury without salary. He 
 also represented the Commissioner of Works 
 in the Commons during Lord Rosebery’s tenure of 
 that office. In 1885 he was made Financial Secre- 
 tary to the War Office, a post which seems to be 
 becoming a preserve of Ministers’ sons, having 
 been occupied in the previous Administration by 
 young Mr. Stafford Northcote. Before 1880 he 
 was a Lecturer on History at Keble College (he took 
 a first in that school, 1876), and the rapidity 
 with which he acclimatized himself to the world 
 of practical politics was really remarkable. His 
 speeches cause mote comment than their intrinsic 
 importance might justify, because they are thought 
 to embody his father's opinions. Lut this, we 
 understand, is an erroneous impression, and when 
 he speaks he speaks for himself. He is 38 and 
 unmarried.

 Mr. James Allanscn Picton, son of the late Sir 
 James Picton, of Liverpool, was for some time a 
 Congregational minis- 
 ter — first at Leicester, 
 afterwards in Hack- 
 ney ; and his Par- 
 liamentary manner has 
 something of the 
 strenuous anger of the 
 conventicle. His deli- 
 very, it must be ad- 
 mitted, is not happy. 
 Even his best remarks 
 are emitted with the 
 deliberateness of the 
 pulpit and with the 
 irritating regularity of 
 the news-room tape. 
 Personally Mr. Picton 
 (as a not too friendly 
 critic has put it) is 
 a very little man, 
 invested by a very 
 gigar. tic soul. His mis- 
 sion is apparently to 
 take up fallen causes 
 and to beard Ministers 
 He brings a terrible 
 ferocity to the explanation of grievances, and 
 looks round upon the Ministerial benches with a 
 withering eye ; while the ductility of his move- 
 ments in the throes of debate may account for the 
 
 in their dens of luxury.

 calculating absence of Mr. Labouchere, who sits 
 immediately below the hon. gentleman, and has a 
 weakness for preserving his hat. But _ outside 
 Parliament, and on subjects of social and 
 religious concern, Mr. Picton’s eloquence is often 
 impressive and inspiriting. He did excellent 
 work as the Hackney member of the London 
 School Beard from 1870 — 79, and is the author of 
 a volume of religio-philosophical essays entitled 
 “The Mystery of Matter,” of a “ Life of Oliver 
 Cromwell,” and a volume of “ Lessons from the 
 Rise and Fall of the English Commonwealth.” 
 He has represented Leicester since June, 1884, 
 succeed -ng Mr. P. A. Taylor. He was educated 
 at the *Owens College, and graduated at the 
 London University. He has been twice married, 
 and is sixty.

 ing the Mansion House Sir James Whitehead. 
 Conciliation Board — 
 
 his association with which was the proudest event 
 of his year of office. Of Sir James's earlier career, 
 we take the following account from the vivacious 
 and doubtless in this instance veracious pages of 
 Vanity Fair'. — “Leaving Appleby Grammar 
 School at the mature age of fourteen years, he 
 scon showed a propensity for athleticism, which 
 made him a champion among English high-jumpers 
 and a proficient wrestler after the Cumberland 
 style at the age of nineteen ; and a capacity 
 for trading which distinguished him amongst 
 the best known commercial tiavellers in the 
 midland and eastern counties at that of three-and- 
 twenty. Having acquired much knowledge of 
 men and stuffs, he went, nearly thirty years ago, 
 into the business known as the Bradford trade lor 
 himself ; which he worked in Gresham-street with 
 such sensible diligence that within two decades he 
 was enabled to retire at the age of forty-six. H e 
 still retains, however, unless we are mistaken, a 
 considerable interest in several establishments — 
 notably J. and P. Coats, and Messrs. Pawson and 
 Messrs. Barker. He then travelled in another 
 line, journeying round the world, collecting 
 botanical specimens, studying our colonial policy, 
 and otherwise improving himself and enlarging his 
 receptive mind. After this the appreciative Wa:d 
 of Cheap made him an Alderman without a con- 
 test, in which office he acquitted himself so well 
 and became so deservedly popular that, despite his 
 Liberalism, the Conservative City felt impelled, 
 within the short space of six years, to honour itself 
 by making him Lord Mayor of London. ... He is not 
 a Volunteer, but he holds that every one else ought 
 to be one, or, at least, ought to subscribe to his 
 equipment fund. He is a great friend to education, 
 preferring those branches which are called tech- 
 nical and agricultural ; and, being a Kentish land- 
 owner, he has a model orchard at Highfield. As a 
 friend of our postal system, he promoted the statue 
 of the late Sir Rowland Hill which stands behind 
 the Royal Exchange, after with much diligence 
 collecting a fund of £19,000 with which to per- 
 petuate the introduction of the penny postage. He 
 has four sons, two of whom have taken honours at 
 Oxford, and is an earnest and eloquent speaker.” 
 Sir James unsuccessfully contested North West- 
 moreland in 1885 and 1886. He is pushing and 
 energetic, and looks less than 58.

 Is thus a large em-

 and has the reputation of treating his navvies 
 liberally. Speaking on one occasion at Nowsley, 
 a village in the division, Mr. Logan asked 
 the labourers to consider how little they got 
 by their votes in consequence of not using them 
 properly. A Tory land agent called out : “ What 
 about your own navvies ? ” The reply was short, 
 sharp, and to the point. “ I did not come here to 
 talk of my own affairs,” said Mr. Logan, “but 
 you shall have an answer. The navvies in 
 my employ earn on an average 6 j. per day, 
 whilst the poor wretches in your employ don’t get 
 12 a a week. Is there anything moie you want 
 to know about my navvies V” The Tory agent 
 collapsed. Mr. Logan was born in 1845, educated 
 at the Collegiate School, Gloucester, and in Ger- 
 many, and was articled to Messrs. Stephenson, 
 mechanical engineers, of Newcastle. Is an Asso-

 to February, 1886, and 
 again from August, 
 
 J 886, to March, 1888. 
 
 His sobriquet is espe- 
 cially happy, as his 
 bearing has all that 
 courtesy and repose 
 which is said to stamp 
 the ducal caste. He is, 
 of course, the eldest 
 son of the Duke of 
 Rutland (Lord John 
 Manners), and he is 40. 
 
 He was educated at 
 Eton, . and Trinity, 
 
 Cambridge. His wife 
 is a daughter of Colonel 
 the Horn C. H. Lindsay, a very beautiful woman 
 much painted (on canvas), and herself an artist of 
 no mean accomplishments. Indeed, her outline 
 portrait of Mr. Balfour is an indispensable orna- 
 ment of every Unionist and Primrose household. 
 Lord Granby does not trouble himself much (says 
 “ A. K.”) about legislation. He prefers a pair of 
 wading boots and a fishing-rod, playing his fly 
 seated upon a grassy bank — a veritable Izaak 
 Walton. When he cannot go a-fishing, he goes to 
 the theatres on “first nights.”

 Mr. Ronald Crauford Munro-Fergu^on suc- 
 ceeded to the family estates when he was still a 
 boy, and was educated 
 
 E rivately by h is mother. 
 
 ,ike some of his pre- 
 decessors (says a local 
 chronicler), he mani- 
 fested a strong love 
 for the army, andwhen 
 he was only fifteen 
 years of age he joined 
 the Fife Light Hor>-e. 
 
 The War authorities 
 objected to him on 
 the score of age, but 
 his commanding oificer 
 represented that he 
 was a “ young man 
 greatly beyond his 
 years in capacity and 
 bodily strength.” On 
 that representation he 
 was allowed to remain Mr-. Munro-Ferguson. 
 in the regiment, and 
 
 he subsequently obtained the captaincy of a 
 company. He attended the Royal Military 
 College at ' Sandhurst, passed his first com- 
 petitive examination for the army in 1379, and in 
 that year joined the Grenadier Guards. He had 
 a strong liking for po’itics.and in 1884, on an oppor- 
 tunity arising to contest the combined counties of 
 Ross and Cromarty, he resigned his commission in 
 the army, and as the result of a contest with 
 Mr. Macdonald, the present member for the 
 counties, he was returned at the top of the 
 pel'. He subsequently became Lord Rose- 
 bery’s private secretary, whom he subsequently 
 accompanied to India, where he saw, wooed, and 
 won his wife, Lady Hermione Blackwood, 
 daughter of the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava. 
 Mr. Ferguson is 32, and looks even younger. He 
 is an ardent Radical, and in favour of what has 
 been called “Home Rule all round,” in order 
 that “ the Imperial Parliament may become 
 effective as the Central Authority of the Empire.” 
 He was an assistant- whip during the short Glad- 
 stone Administration.

 Mr. Henry Chaplin is a conspicuous figure 
 everywhere — whether on the turf, in society, or in 
 the House. For 
 a number of years 
 the turf had 
 great attractions 
 for Mr. Chaplin, 
 and on the turf 
 he made the ac- 
 quaintance of 
 the Prince of 
 Wales, among 
 whose friends he 
 is numbered. 
 Deeply interest- 
 ed in horse 
 breeding, Mr. 
 Chaplin some 
 time ago secured 
 the appointment 
 of a Parliamen- 
 tary Committee 
 on the Supply of 
 Horses. During 
 the 1880 Parliament he made his influence felt 
 in the Tory party ; and on Lord Salisbury 
 
86 
 
 constructing his Ministry in 1885 he became 
 Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. But Mr. 
 Chaplin appraised himself at Cabinet rank, and 
 declined the Presidency of the Local Government 
 Board in 1886 because it was not at the time asso- 
 ciated with a seat in the Cabinet. Three years 
 later he attained the object of his ambition and 
 became first Minister of Agriculture, with a seat 
 in the Cabinet He has lately thrown over his old 
 and (formerly) un-Ministerial heresy of Protection, 
 but in this possibly — to judge from Lord Salis- 
 bury’s recent speeches — he was a trifle premature. 
 His greatest recantation, however — and his 
 greatest success — was on the Small Holdings Bill, 
 for the Chaplincies represent a policy which their 
 author was unlucky enough to have flouted and 
 scouted in 1886. The chief remaining heresy, 
 which he has not recanted, is bi- netallism, and 
 that he still maintains in letters to the Times. In 
 debate Mr. Chaplin is the Heavy Father of his 
 own party, and is valued by the other on account 
 of the opportunities which he gives Mr. Gladstone 
 for crushing rebuke. Mr. Chaplin is 52 years of 
 age, and was educated at Harrow a"d at Christ 
 Church, Oxford. He is a widower, his wife, 
 Lady Florence, daughter of the third Duke of 
 Sutherland, having died in 1881. He has repre- 
 sented Mid-Lincolnshire from 1868 to 1885.

 Mr. Henry John Cockayne Cust is a smart young 
 gentleman of 31 years, fluent, forward, and (it is 
 said) not a little self- 
 satisfied. At Eton and 
 Cambridge he enjoyed 
 the enviable reputa- 
 tion of being able to 
 do anything he chose 
 to do. He is great a 
 Primrose dances, sings 
 comic songs, is a cousin 
 of Lord Brownlow, and 
 owns estates in Bed- 
 fordshire. Mr. Henry 
 Cust is unmarried, and 
 is credited with the 
 distinction of being the 
 original of ‘ Freddie 
 Ducane” in Miss 
 Rhoda Broughton’s 
 novel, “Dr. Cupid.” 
 
 He has not been 
 “ called,” but he has Mr. H. J. Cust. 
 studied law both in 
 
 France and England, and in the last Parliament 
 he introduced a useful amendment with the 
 object of mak’ng “ Chaplincies ” into personalty. 
 But this proved too much for his patrons in the

 It is related of Mr. Waddy that on an occasion 
 when he was occupying the local pulpit while on 
 circuit, another eminent Q.C. took a consider- 
 able contingent of the junior bar into the chief 
 seats of the chapel that they might hear their 
 senior and leader pieach. Nothing daunted, Mr. 
 Waddy, after the first hymn, announced to the 
 
 congregation that his brother (whom he was 
 would now lead the 
 congregation in prayer 
 — an announcement 
 
 which caused the pre- 
 cipitate departure of 
 the said Q.C. But 
 Mr. Waddy is as 
 well known at the bar 
 as in the chapel. To 
 every frequenter of the 
 Law Courts his ruddy 
 features are familiar, 
 and Mr. Waddy doubt- 
 less owes much of his 
 success as an advocate 
 to the irascible but ven- 
 erable countenance with 
 which kind nature has 
 endowed him. His 
 white whiskers, which 
 droop as gracefully as 
 weeping willows, his 
 gold-rimmed spectacles, 
 his close shaven upper 
 lip, his fiery eye, each and all help to frighten 
 the timid witness who is misled into the 
 
 belief that his tormentor is just on the point of 
 
 boiling over. And yet there are times when Mr. 
 Waddy can turn on the pathetic tap. Then his eyes 
 look upwards till only the whites remain, the fire 
 becomes water as if by a miracle, his blusterous voice 
 drops to a sweet, coaxing whisper, the jurymen look 
 at one another with mute appeal, and try to cover 
 their confusion by looking for their pocket hand- 
 kerchiefs. Mr. Waddy has fought too many elec- 
 tion battles to enumerate, Barnstaple, Sheffield, 
 Edinburgh, North Islington. Mr. Waddy took 
 silk in 1874, but the wool is still in the dim and 
 distant future — not born yet, perhaps. He is 
 political meteorologist to the Daily News. Mr. 
 Gladstone has no more ardent supporter than 
 Samuel Danks Waddy, Pleader, Preacher, 
 Parliamentarian. He is 62.

 The Right Hon. Edward Stanhope was one of 
 Lord Beaconsfield's yourg men, and has mounted 
 the official Ldder with 
 autorratic regularity. 
 
 Why he should be a 
 Secretary of State and 
 member of a Cabinet it 
 would puzzle most people 
 to say, for he is not a 
 brilliant man and has no 
 striking achievements to 
 his credit. He appears, 
 however, to be an indis- 
 pensable man in all 
 Ministerial shuffles, and 
 has filled no less than 
 three posts in the pre- 
 sent Administration — 
 
 President of the Board Rt. Hon. E. Stanhope. 
 of Trade, Colonial 
 
 Secretary (in which capacity he summoned 
 the Colonial Conference), and War Secre- 
 tary. He is a poor speaker, but a hard 
 wotker and a fair administrator on rather old- 
 fashioned lines. He is, however, regarded as 
 rather an obstacle to army reform, and stems to 
 take a severely official view pf his ministerial 
 duties. His chief blunder during the last Parlia- 
 ment was in proposing a rifle-range in the New 
 Forest, a scheme which brought down upon him a 
 storm of criticism from all quarters. He has one 
 merit much appreciated by pressmen, which is that 
 he always answers questions in a voice which is 
 audible in the gallery. He was educated at 
 Harrow and Christ Church, and was a Fellow of 
 All Souls, and is 52.

 Nonconformist Council, 
 as well as hon. sec. of

 abolition of pew rents. 
 
 But he has other titles

 Powell. He _ was knighted in connection 
 with his mission to Malta to adjust the 
 local boundaries under the new Constitution. 
 Besides many magazine articles on colonial sub-

 Of Mr. O’Connor what need is there to say much. 
 Every one knows “ Tay Pay.” His light has 
 never been hidden under 
 a bushel. He invented 
 both the Star and the 
 Sunday Sun, and it 
 is his boast that he has 
 written more columns on 
 more subjects in a shorter 
 time than any living 
 penman. He is, in fac:, 
 even among a party of 
 journalists, the journalist 
 par excellence — nut of 
 the French school, like 
 William O’Brien, but of 
 the na'ive, mellow, racy 
 Irish. He has the brogue 
 in his pen. It survives 
 after years ofsojourn with 
 the Saxon oppressor. 
 
 A Fleet-street swash- 
 buckler among the best, 
 ready with a mellifluous 
 column or two at a moment’s notice on any con- 
 ceivable subject, he prefers to sit for an English 
 constituency and nurse an effusive patriotism on the 
 English chop. It was not always anything so suc- 
 culent as a chop. His apprenticeship was long and 
 hard enough ; and he boasts an acquaintance with 
 the humble red herring, dating from his earlier 
 London days, w hich doubtless made him an expert 
 critic of the one which Mr. Parnell tried to drag 
 across the trail. An M.A. ofQu«en’s University, 
 Mr. O’Connor’s literary taste affects the florid. 
 But his Life of Disraeli is much admired by party 
 politicians, and “The Parnell Movement ” con- 
 tains some of the 1 est reading going for anybody. 
 He has avoided p-i-o-i, but not matrimony. He is a 
 slashing debater, and a ro'licking stump-spjaker. 
 He is as smart and clever a’l round “as they make 
 them.” Not the least conspicuous proof of his 
 cleverness was his happening to be away in 
 America when the Parnell crash came. His final 
 adhesion to the opponents of Mr. Parnell added 
 one, at any rate, who cannot be accused of 
 mawkish Puritanism. Mr. O’Connor prides him- 
 self on being one of those peculiar compounds 
 — a Man of the World ; and he may be safely 
 counted on never to strain the appeal to the ideal. 
 He never aims too high and he generally hits. 
 But stories are told to prove that behind his com- 
 fortable waistcoat there is good fellowship as well 
 
88 
 
 as humour and smartness. But he can nourish 
 resentments too— as readers of the Sun may have 
 gathered therein from references to the Star. _ But 
 that must have been to show his superiority 
 to merely mercenary considerations, for it is 
 whispered that Mr. O’Connor’s severance from the 
 Star was by no means unprofitable to himself, 
 lie has grown fat and prosperous, and caused 
 much amusement during the last Parliament by 
 his .opposition to tramways in the interests of the 
 carriage folk. He is 44. He was credited with 
 the authorship of the Home Rule manifesto at 
 the General Election of 1885, and was chief orga- 
 nizer of the Irish vote in this country in 1886. 
 During the present elections he has worked like a 
 Trojan, and platforms innumeratle ha\e been 
 enlivened by his racy and telling haiangues.

 Baron Henry De Worms would have been called 
 an Admirable Crichton in the sixteenth century. 
 
 Now he is what is 
 termed a “good all- 
 round man ” — that is, 
 he speaks four or five 
 languages, is an accom- 
 plished mathematician, 
 a writer of serious books, 
 and a politician. He 
 has written on tne 
 “Earth and its Mecha- 
 nism ” and in politics 
 the world is his province, 
 v XV — His thirst for minis- 
 \ V\ / \ terial information on 
 X foreign policy during 
 
 \ X(\ the 1880-85 Parliament 
 
 (when he sat for 
 Baron H. De Worms. Greenwich) was second 
 
 only, if at all, to Mr. 
 Ashmead- Bartlett’s. His zeal was rewarded when 
 Lord Salisbury appointed him Parliamentary 
 Secretary to the Board of Trade, in which 
 capacity he took a leading part in the recent 
 Sugar Bounties conference and subsequent nego- 
 tiations. He has very strong lungs— indeed, there 
 are few speakers now in public life who can make 
 more noise than he — and he uses them, naturally 
 enough, to puff with. His promotion to the 
 Colonial Under-Secretaryship was the result, or 
 sequel, of an energetic blast of the trumpet in 
 several journals. Baron De Worms, by the way, 
 has had the distinction of supplying Mr. Tennie 
 with the idea for some of his happiest cartoons, for 
 it was he who first described Mr. Gladstone and 
 his colleagues (1880-85) as “ the Cabinet of Micaw- 
 bers.” His barony is Austrian, but its use is autho- 
 rized in England by Royal Letters Patent. He 
 was educated at King’s College, of which he was 
 elected a Fellow in 1863, and was called to the bar 
 (Inner Temple) in the same year. He has been 
 married, but having lately obtained a divorce, has 
 now forsaken further Austrian connections and 
 married English money. He is 52.

 Alderman Sir Reginald Hanson, M.A., is the

 Sir Richard Fowler,

 his university was 
 only London, where- 
 as SirR. Hanson can 
 boast of the genuine 
 article — a public 
 school and univer- 
 : ity education at 
 Rugby and Trinity, 
 
 Cambridge. Sir 
 Richard Fowlerused 
 to show off by 
 quoting Greek on 
 the slightest oppor- 
 tunity ; Sir R. Han- 
 son more prudently 
 confined himself in 
 his mayoralty to 
 visiting Cambridge 
 in state and dining old Rugbeians at the 
 
 Mansion House. The City s very proud ot 
 him as “ a gentleman and ascholar,” and 
 a City contemporary once dilated at great 
 length on the Alderman’s affection for “ the 
 Piercian (sic) spring.” In return lor this distinction 
 the City has added others of its own. Sir Regi- 
 nald was sheriff in the Epping Forest year, and 
 then obtained a knighthood ; whilst as the Jubilee 
 Lord Mayor he was made a baronet. He is a 
 fruiterer, and his family have been settled in that 
 business at Billingsgate for nearly two centuries. 
 Personally he is a pleasant, well-meaning man. He 
 married money, and is 52. Sir Reginald is a Tory, 
 but, like Mr. Gladstone, he sometimes reads the 
 lessons in church.

 Toryism. But there were some who objected to 
 any hereditary succession, and even suggested 
 that the representative of the greatest city in the

 be men of distinction. Hence the opposition can- 
 didature of Mr. Ritchie. But Mr. Gibbs may

 Sir John Lubbock, Bart., F.R.S., the present 
 member for the University of London — the small 
 and anomalous 
 seat which Mr. 
 
 Disr. eli inven- 
 ted, so he said, 
 
 - in order to find 
 a seat for “ Bob 
 Lowe ” — is the 
 ideal member 
 for the Univer- 
 sity seat in a 
 great commer- 
 cial city, for he 
 is, perhaps, the 
 only man living 
 who has won 
 distinction in 
 the three careers 
 of business, 
 science, and 
 politics. He has 
 told the story 
 of “ Prehistoric 
 Times,” and Sir John Lubbock. 
 
 has introduced 
 
 country clearing and other improvements into nine- 
 teenthcenturybanking. He secured B ink Holidays 
 for the working classes, and has almost taught 
 his dog to read. The width of his own reading as 
 revealed by his list of the Best Hundred Books, 
 which has recently created so much interest, sur- 
 prised even some of his best friends — one of whom 
 ince asked incredulously how many of the 100 
 books which he recommended to others, Sir Jo in 
 had read himstl '. The answer is that he has read 
 them all — not a few of them, by the way, in odd 
 minutes, while standing on ra lway platforms. The 
 fact is ihat the men who have least time are 
 always those who find most, and Sir John Lub- 
 bock’s “Pleasures of Life’ are as manifold 
 as Mr. Gladstone’s. He has been president 
 of the British Association (in its jubilee year) 
 and of a hundred other learned societies ; but 
 also of the Bankers’ Institute and the London and 
 Counties Liberal Union. He isLL.D. of Dublin, 
 Edinburgh, and Cambridge, D C.L. of Oxford, and 
 M.D. of Wurzburg, and what makes these scientific 
 distinctions the more remarkable is that his 
 schooling ( Eton) finished at fourteen, when his father 
 placed him in the Lombard street bark. Sir John 
 was a member of the Public School Commission, 
 and is a trustee of the British Museum. In Parlia- 
 
89 
 
 ment he has carried a number of useful measures 
 besides the Bank Holiday Act (including in the 
 last Parliament the Shop Hours Regulation Act) and 
 has protected our ancient monuments — all except the 
 Corporation of London, for he is an active member 
 of the Municipal Reform League — a fact which 
 helped perhaps to secure his election as Vice* 
 Chairman of the first London County Council. 
 He is the only member of the Council whom it is 
 impossible to class either as a Progressive or as a 
 Moderate. In 1889 he was returned with Lord 
 Rosebery for the City as an Independent Pro- 
 gressive. When Lord Rosebery retired from, the 
 chairmanship, Sir John Lubbo;k succeeded him, 
 and occasionally intervene! in the Councils dis- 
 cussions. He did not stand for the Council in 
 1892, but the Progressives elected him an Aider- 
 man, describing him, to prove their “ magna- 
 nimity,” as a Moderate. As Vice-Chairman, and 
 subsequently Chairman, Sir John Lubbock was 
 popular with all parties (though for some reason or 
 other he did not carry very much weight), a id he 
 wrote a useful article before the elections in 
 defence (not unmixed with candid criticism) of the 
 Council. As becomes a mathematician, Sir John 
 Lubbock is much enamoured of the Proportional 
 Representation League. He is 58, and eight yeais 
 ago married a second time. He represented 
 Maidstone 1870-80, unsuccessfully contested West 
 Kent 1863, and was formerly Vice-Chancellor of 
 the University which he now represents.

 During the last Parliament Mr. Lea comprised 
 in his own person one-half of a political party — the 
 great Irish Tenant- 
 farmer Liberal Un'onist 
 party. Like Mr. T. W. 
 
 Russell, the other half 
 of the party, who is a 
 Scotchman by birth, 
 
 Mr. Lea is neither a 
 tenant-farmer nor an 
 Irishman. He is a 
 manufacturer in the 
 city of carpets — Kid- 
 derminster, a circum- 
 stance which gave the 
 local Nationalists more 
 justification than they 
 supposed when they 
 called him a “ carpet- 
 bagger.” It is to his 
 credit that he has main- 
 tained the unity of his 
 party, though disrup- 
 tion has been threatened 
 
 on more than one occas'on in the late Par- 
 liament. But he is an old Parliamentary 
 hand who knows the value of discipline. He 
 represented Kidderminster as a Liberal from 
 1858 till 1874, and Donegal (supported by the 
 National party) from 1879 to 1885, when he was 
 thrown by a Parnellite, in alliance with the Con- 
 servatives. Mr. Lea is 51, and was educited 
 p.-ivately.

 in the angry scene with which culminated the 
 long-drawn-out drama of “Committee Room 
 No. 15,” Mr. Parnell 
 turned on Mr. Justin 
 McCarthy with the 
 taunt, “You have been 
 wanting to step into mv 
 shoes all the time.” 
 
 To assert that Mr. Par- 
 nell never said anything 
 more untrue than that 
 would perhapsbebold. He 
 certainly never said any- 
 thing more unjust. His 
 subsequent saying that 
 his successor in the Irish 
 leadership was the man 
 for a quiet little tea- 
 party was less unjust, 
 if not less spiteful. Some 
 men seek for greatness. Mr. Justin McCarthy. 
 Others have greatness 
 
 thrust upon them. Justin McCarthy is of 
 these last if ever man was. Not long before, Mr. 
 Parnell, speaking in a very different spirit, had 
 dubbed him the “ beau iddal of an Irish member.” 
 If Mr. Parnell meant what he said he must indeed 
 have felt that the time had come to beat the swords 
 of a fighting party into ploughshares. Quiet in 
 manners, polished in speech, retiring and urbane in 
 temperament, Mr. Justin McCarthy is the fly 
 in amber of the Irish Parliamentary party. The 
 only thing his colleagues have ever lamented in 
 him is “ his distressing want of native ferocity.” 
 They do not, indeed, suspect his fortitude. 
 A familiar figure in the Reporters’ Gallery almost 
 before Mr. Parnell was born, a Nationalist 
 member while yet Mr Parnell was but a young 
 squire, Mr. McCarthy has proved his faithful- 
 ne s to the Irish cause through many a 
 
 year of storm and stress ; and one of his 
 colleagues has been kind enough to breathe the 
 pious wish that McCarthy would be hanged for 
 high treason, “ to show how calmly a quiet man 
 could die for Ireland.” To be sure, he is scarcely 
 a milder or more harmless seeming revolutionary 
 than Mr. J. F. X. O’Brien, who was actually once 
 sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered 
 for that very offence. And, like that gentleman, 
 Mr. McCarthy actually began political life as 
 a rebel. Incongruous as it sounds to-diy, he 
 was one of the “ men of ’48” — when he was- 
 e gh een. Evenafrer Mitchell’s arrest he was an 
 Abdiel of Mitchell’s cause Then he took to 
 journalism. He has done better with shorthand 
 that with sab e;. It tx>k him from Cork to 
 Liverpool, and irem Liverpool to London. At 
 Liverpool he reported for the first provincial 
 daily started in England. In London he 
 edited the Morning Star in the stirring 
 days of the fight for Free Trade. Afterwards 
 in the heat of another battle ne publicly renounced 
 the friendship of John Bright. Since then his 
 graceful obituary speech on the Great Tribune has- 
 marked Mr. McCarthy’s high-water mark as a. 
 Ciceronian orator. At one time in those early 
 journalistic days he was nearly going on the Times. 
 As a leader-writer on the Daily News , journalistic: 
 gossip once credited him with the versatile achieve- 
 ment of Robert Lowe — writing on one side and 
 speaking on the other with equal cogency. His, 
 indeed, is eminently one of those minds which see 
 b )tn sides of a question. Born ta polemics, he 
 hankers after the judicial, the philosophical, the 
 historical attitude. To express this side of him 
 he has written novels and a history. The 
 best of the novels was “Dear Lady Disdain;” 
 and they are all, like the writer, agreeable 
 after-dinner companions. The history was the 
 greatest popular success in its line since Macaulay, 
 and is still an authority among Mr. Mudie’s sub- 
 scribers. Politically, his prudent counsels, impar- 
 tial judgment, and dignified demeanour have 
 made him very popular with his party ; and his 
 defects and qualities alike marked him out as the 
 easiest man for his colleagues to rally round in 
 the pla:e of their deposed dictator. Curiously 
 enough, the same ironical fate which first made 
 the youth a rebel has dogged the maturer poli- 
 tician. It has insisted on placing this courteous, 
 cultivated, literary dessert-tablelittle old gentleman 
 in the most incongruously ferocious lights. Heit was 
 who met the Irish mail at Willesden when Mr. 
 Parnell came out of Kilmainham on parole in 
 April, 1882, the occasion, according to the old 
 Times story, when the Phoenix Park murders 
 were darkly laid in train. He it was, according 
 to the same veracious authority, through whose- 
 guilty hands Byrne received the “ opportune- 
 remittance ” which enabled him to flee from? 
 justice — an incident of which Mr. McCarthy gave 
 a transparently simple explanation. That Justin 
 McCarthy is a strong man no one is likely to assert ; 
 but he is univers illy respected. He is 62, ancf 
 does not unfortunately enjoy very strong health* 
 He was educated at a private school in Cork.

 Mr. Edward Blake 
 is by far the most im-

 recruit whom the 
 Nationalist party have 
 enlisted. The only

 Rule is a Home 
 Rule partly of Cana- 
 dian and partly of 
 American pattern, and 
 a Home Rule under 
 which the Imperial 
 supremacy and con- 
 nection will be strictly Mr> Edward Blake. 
 preserved. ihere is, 
 
 therefore, something peculiarly appropriate in the 
 
90 
 
 election as an Irish Home Ruler at this crisis 
 of a Canadian statesman who has served b >th as a 
 Provincial Premier and as a Dominion Minister, 
 and who lately retired from the leadership of the 
 Canadian Opposition because he feared that their 
 policy of commercial union with the States might, 
 however little they intended it, result in loosening 
 the tie with the mother country. To these circum- 
 stances of political appropriateness, Mr. Blake 
 adds Irish birth, long experience of affairs, and an 
 unblemished personal record. Twenty years ago 
 he was Premier of the Province of Ontario, but gave 
 up the position to become Minister of Justice and 
 Attorney-General in the Dominion Government 
 under the late Mr. Mackenzie. The Chancellor- 
 ship of Ontario, the Chief Justiceship of the 
 Dominion, the honour of Knighthood, have in 
 turn been declined by him. He has been Chan- 
 cellor of Toronto University since 1876. He is a 
 man of great learning and varied accomplish- 
 ments, and by far the finest orator in Canada. Like 
 Mr. Parnell, he has a complete mas ery of Parlia- 
 mentary proce lure ; like Mr. Parnell, too, he is a 
 Protestant, and his whole nature and manner are 
 said to be the very opposite of those which are 
 supposed to characterize the typicil Irish member. 
 He has delivered several interesrnj speeches in 
 Ireland, and regards Home Rule as a necessary 
 step towards federalizing the Empire. Like Mr. 
 Gladstone, Mr. Blake is a devoted son of the 
 Church of England. He has been Chancellor of 
 the Diocese of Toronto. He is 53.

 Tim Healy — for he is no more Mr. Timothy than

 man among 
 the Patriots. 
 
 And that 
 means among 
 the cleverest 
 men in the 
 House, and 
 among the 
 best - hated 
 men in Ire- 
 land. The 
 so-called 
 “ horse-whip- 
 pingof Healy” 
 was the out- 
 ward and visi- 
 ble sign of the 
 impotent 
 wrath of the 
 Par n e 1 1 ite 
 m i n o r i t y 
 against the 
 strong man 
 who had car- Mr. T. Healy. 
 
 Hed the day in 
 
 “Committee Room No. 15” against their hero. 
 “Chief Justice Healy” was a favourite taunt with 
 them. The insinuation intended does grotesque 
 injustice to the most Irish of Irishmen. Thedesciip- 
 tion of Mr. Healy’s legal metier is as just as the 
 oblique tribute to his abilities. But essentially 
 Mr. Healy is the sharp solicitor — the attorney sub- 
 limated. Perhaps as a sobriquet, Land Commis- 
 sioner Healy would be more to the point. His 
 •command over the complications of the Land Act 
 of ’81, as shown in debate, gave rise to the remark 
 that there were only three people who understood 
 the bill — Gladstone, Law, and Tim Healy. He 
 •did a great stroke for the tenants by securing the 
 Insertion of what isuniversallyknownasthe “ Healy 
 Clause” — the pregnant clause which provided that 
 no rent should be payable in respect of improve- 
 ments made by the tenant or his predecessor in 
 title. He had previously been employed to prepare 
 a short history of the Irish Land Question, which 
 was used as the brief for the defence in the State 
 trials of 1880. In these matters Mr. Healy owes 
 Lis success to two gifts— abnormal acuteness and 
 devouring industry. The same qualities, together 
 with a cool impudence too innate to be cowed, have 
 given him a unique mastery of those parliamentary 
 forms which he knows as only a member can who 
 
 has broken nearly every one of them. As a 
 debater, he has only three superiors in the House. 
 Alert, with his short, wiry figure, his long neck 
 craning forward, and an unwearied twinkle in his 
 spectacles, none so quick as Tim Healy to catch 
 an opponent tripping, or seize a deadly moment 
 for the intrusion ot one of those characteristic 
 “jewels five words long,” the regular sequel of 
 which is “ Order, order,” smothered in a chorus 
 of laughs. He is, no doubt, incorrigibly rude. 
 But there is about Tim’s wildest excesses a 
 boisterous humour which is sometimes irresistible. 
 In a dull Chamber a spirit of mischief is forgive l 
 much. Some of Mr. Healy s taunts, both in Com- 
 mittee Room No. 15 and on Irish platforms, were 
 cruel, but what gave most offence was their 
 stinging truth. Curiously enough, it was to Mr. 
 Parnell — as the ex-leader was not slow to 
 remind him — that Mr. Healy owed his first 
 chance. He repaid him by the free gift of 
 many an idea. Mr. Parnell when on his 
 American tour telegraphed for him to come 
 as private secretary. Till then the ardent Nation- 
 alist was only a clerk — first a ra lway clerk at 
 Newcastle, then a mercantile clerk in London. He 
 had made his mark, however, as London letter- 
 writer to the Nation. He is as ready now with 
 pen as with tongue, and in the National Press 
 and the Freeman which has absorbed it he 
 runs riot with remorseless vituperation. Earn- 
 ing his living sturdily ever since he was 
 thirteen, this inexhaustible man has some- 
 how found time to become well read in more 
 than one language. Though he fears no one, he 
 had a bump of veneration for Mr. Gladstone ; and 
 after a bitter and vituperative struggle at St. 
 Stephen’s he will go to a friend's house where 
 there is a little lady of ten years, whose dearest 
 friend he is, and*, taking her on his knee, he will 
 tell her the most bewitching fairy stories till it is 
 hours past bedtime, while the rest of the family 
 sit round in a charmed circle. His wife is a 
 daughter of Mr. T. D. Sullivan, and the Parlia- 
 mentary firebrand is known in the family circle as 
 a romp. There is, too, a vein of sentimentalism 
 in him which few, who only know him on the 
 outside, would suspeet, and in the throes of the 
 Parnell crisis no man was more sensitive to the 
 nathos of the situation than Tim the Remorseless. 
 He is only 37, and much may be done with him in 
 the future, but they will never altogether civilize 
 him.

 large means, and a keen

 himself came back in 
 1885 from Bombay (in 
 the Governorship of 
 which he succeeded Sir 
 R. Temple in 1880), and 
 resumed his parliamen- 
 tary career — having sat 
 for Ayrshire 1854-68, 
 and been Under-Secre- 
 tary successively for 
 India and the Home 
 Office. He is an autho- 
 rity on the colonies 
 
 also, having been Governor of both South Australia 
 and of New Zealand. He was educated at Rugby 
 and University College, Oxford, entered the army 
 (Grenadier Guards), and was wounded at Inker- 
 man. Few men have thus had so varied an 
 experience. He is 60 As Under Secretary for 
 Foreign Affairs he hardly showed the suppleness 
 of evasion or hardihood of denial which are 
 required for the post. It is not Ambassadors only 
 who, according to Sir Henry Wotton’s definition,

 as of the movement started by Mrs. Josephine 
 Butler, Mrs. Jacob is one of the staunchest sup-

 did still more in his general view of politics. 
 John remained to the end of the old “Man-

 the Manchester of to-day. No one has a keener 
 eye to the trade aspect of Imperialism ; and the 
 story goes that when John was protesting to a 
 colleague in the Cabinet against our intervention 
 in Egypt, the Minister replied that he could not 
 please both brothers, for that Jacob had just left 
 him with an exposition of the necessities of such 
 intervention in the interests of trade. He is 
 always counted as a stalwart party man, ready to 
 go anywhere and everywhere with the rest of them.

 Not quite five years have passed since Lord 
 Randolph Churchill flung himself down as a 
 political corpse on w hich 
 Mr. Arthur Ballour 
 might step to great- 
 ness. It is only four 
 years ago since Mr. 
 Balfour was promoted 
 suddenly from the dull, 
 laborious round of the 
 Scotch side of the Home 
 Office to the dizzy and 
 dangerous pinnacle on 
 which an Irish Sec- 
 retary stands, and 
 was transformed at a 
 stroke from the class of 
 clever college debating 
 young men into the best 
 man of his hands at all 
 sorts of Parliamentary 
 warfare to be found on 
 the Treasury Bench. 
 To-day he is at forty- 
 Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour, three the Leader of the 
 House, and easily, after 
 Mr. Gladstone and his own uncle, the most 
 prominent politician in England. To review 
 Mr. Balfour’s political career you must only 
 begin with 1887. In his Fourth Party days 
 he only amused himself with politics. In 
 him, as in Lord Randolph, ironical fate 
 has given the House an ex-obstructionist 
 Leader. The Scotch Secretaryship, which was 
 his reward, was never anything but vanity and vexa- 
 tion of spirit. What precisely it is that Mr. Balfour 
 drives at in his “Defence of Philosophic ' Doubt ” 
 remains among the things which are dubious ; for 
 there are not many who have read it, and of those 
 some are Scotchmen, most are metaphysicians, all 
 are conceited with the feat, and none agree. 
 Whatever the tiuth about the book, there is no 
 question that in the 1886 period Mr. Balfour was 
 as much a political as a philosophic doubter. If 
 he scouted Liberalism, he doubted Conservatism. 
 He believed not at all in his party, and very little 
 in himself. The only thing or man he did believe 
 in was his uncle — a chilly creed enough. His 
 uncle rewarded it by giving him the great oppor- 
 tunity, in the teeth of his party’s distrust and his 
 opponents’ ridicule. Then began Mr. Balfour’s 
 real career. A lounging, rather effeminate- 
 mannered young man, who toyed with a scented 
 handkerchief as he sprawled supine over the Trea- 
 sury Bench— that was the picture which had im- 
 pressed itself on his critics. He was a “ palsied 
 masher,” a “perfumed popinjay.” He was 
 
 christened as schoolboys christen a mollycoddle — 
 “Miss Balfour” and “Nancy” and “Lucy.’ 
 Huge was the contempt of the Irish members at the 
 idea of the distressful country being dragooned by 
 such an attenuated shadow of a Cromwell as this. 
 Mr. Balfour soon undeceived them. Never in 
 our time had an Irish Secretary set himself to 
 dragoon as doggedly as this cold doctrinaire. 
 Where Mr. Forster would have applied the screw, 
 and then gone home and agonized ar.d prayed 
 over it, Mr. Balfour, like Lady Clara Vere de 
 Vere, held his course without remorse. Starting 
 from the proposition that Ireland was rather a 
 nursery than a nation, he shut his ears on prin- 
 ciple to all howls which came through the nursery 
 wall. What made things worse was the impene- 
 trable complacency of the man— the supercilious 
 indifference to abuse and invective. They 
 raved, they stormed, they broke into his replies 
 with intolerable insults. Mr. Balfour merely 
 crossed and uncrossed his legs, yawned, smiled 
 gently to himself, and waited till it was his 
 turn. When it was, his wit was unmis- 
 takable. Take that sarcasm, for instance, 
 about Mr. O’Brien’s passion to be always 
 blacking something: “yesterday it was Lord 
 Sp:n:er’s cha acter, to-day it is his boots.” How 
 far Mr. Balfour is responsible for the intellectual 
 outfit of his Unionist friends is amusingly illus- 
 trated by the fact that within a single week that 
 sarcasm was played off again as original first 
 by the T hues and then by the Saturday Review. 
 
 “ Do the Irish really hate me as much as their 
 newspapers say ? ” Mr. Balfour took the oppor- 
 tunity of asking a genial and popular Irish 
 priest whom he met at a Dublin dinner-table. 
 
 “ My dear sir,” was Father Healy’s humorous 
 reply, “ if they only hated the devil half as much 
 as they hate you, my occupation would be gone.” 
 Whatever may be the case with the Irish people, 
 the Irish members do not hate Mr. Balfour now as 
 they did then They see in him a foeman worthy 
 of their steel. His success in this respect 
 is a rehabilitation of the academic element 
 in politics. His family is noted for the 
 academic intellect. The brother who perished 
 untimely in the Alps was on his way to achieve a 
 European reputation in science. The sister is the 
 clever wife of a Cambridge professor. The philoso- 
 phic doubter, the lecturer (after Lord Iddesleigh) on 
 desultory reading, the Eton and Trinity man who is 
 the foster son of Irish and Scotch Universities as 
 well as the son of an English one — what fate is it 
 that sets this man wrangling with a Gladstone and 
 a Morley across the mace instead of discussing 
 new editions and old philosophies with them over a 
 college dessert ? Aristocrat as the laird of Whit- 
 tinghame may be — the rich young bachelor with 
 land in Scotland, land in London, land in 
 Surrey, land in Australia, and ties with some 
 of the ptoudest relics of English feudalism — 
 he is as much akin by instinct to don and dilettante 
 as to duke. His conversation is noted for its 
 facile and urbane charm. He is a member of “ the 
 Souls.” His circle is the cream of London culture. 
 His figure is never missed at the best galleries, the 
 best concerts. Privileged friends speak with 
 enthusiasm of his grand pianos. For his 
 drawing-room Mr. Burne-Jones is completing his 
 pictures of the myth of Perseus. From the noise 
 and babble of the Commons Mr. Balfour goes home 
 to the great, spacious house — gloomy without, 
 and austere on first entering, but stored in its 
 inner penetralia with the treasures of all the arts 
 and half the sciences. Here is the key to much 
 distinction, dignity, aloofness, half-contemptuous 
 good-humour. The other dominating influence 
 with Mr. Balfour is physique. His slight, 
 thin, _ over - tall frame, drawn features, and 
 incipient stoop tell their own tale. Until, 
 with his doctor’s encouragement, he tried 
 the bold experiment of continuous work at 
 a high nervous pressure, it was an open 
 question whether he too, like some of his relatives, 
 would not be faced every winter by the alterna- 
 tive — death or exile to Egypt. Happily, it has. 
 turned out otherwise. But there remains room 
 for wondering how far the half-pessimism, the 
 little political faith, the slowness to be warmed and 
 fired, the keen, hard power of speech that is never 
 quite eloquence— may be due to a physique which 
 is never in excess, and often short, of the 
 demands upon it. Mr. Balfour’s golf — which 
 one of the various Public Orators who have tagged 
 Latin about him compared to the ball-play of 
 Maecenas — may thus subserve a larger purpose 
 than that of supplying the touch of outdoor sport 
 which the English demand of their popular heroes. 
 It may also supply the physical basis of that 
 warmer sympathy, that more expansive humanism,

 Mr. James Francis Xavier O’Brien, was tried in 
 1867 for treason-felony, having been arrested while 
 leading an armed party 
 who attacked a police 
 barracks. He was con- 
 victed and sentenced to 
 be hanged, drawn, and 
 quartered. On the trial 
 it appeared that the 
 barrack was set on fire, 
 and the inmates, in- 
 cluding some women 
 and children, were in 
 imminent danger, when 
 Mr. O’Brien, at great 
 personal risk, went to 
 their relief, and this 
 circumstance was com- 
 mented upon in terms 
 of praise by the judge 
 when passing sentence. 
 The sentence was com- 
 muted to penal servi- 
 Mr. J. F. X. 0’Pr:en. iude for life, and 
 some years later Mr. 
 O’Brien was amnestied. He is now a com- 
 mission agent. Mr. O’Brien took up a strong 
 attitude against Mr. Parnell, becoming a figure 
 in the fight ; indeed it was mainly due to his 
 resolution and activity that the machinery of 
 the Irish party was saved from the clutches of the 
 Parnellites. He is 60, and is as mild-mannered 
 an old gentleman as ever entered Parliament ; 
 especially piquant, therefore, is it to hear him tell 
 in the lobby stories of the transportation-epoch 
 when he had “ niggars ” for yoke-fellows.

 In 1885 and 1886 Mr. Dillon (P) was returned 
 unopposed. 
 
 John Dillon, one of the enthusiasts of the Irish 
 party, was born with claims to the respect of 
 the people of Ireland, for his father, in times of 
 trouble and unfaithfulness, had been true to his 
 trust as an Irish representative. These claims to 
 respect he has made good by his own merits. 
 Indeed, he is perhaps the most generally respected 
 of all the Irish members. Friends and foes alike 
 admit that among all the motley host that once 
 obeyed Mr. Parnell there marches no patriot 
 more disinterested than John Dillon. It is he of 
 whom a colleague was once heard to declare in 
 almost incredulous admiration, “ He believes every 
 
 word that he says;” and even Mr. Balfour is 
 credited with having once expressed a sneaking 
 regard for the 
 “honest John” of 
 the Patriotic party. 
 He is a tall delicate 
 man of consump- 
 tive tendencies, 
 with jet-black hair 
 and large contem- 
 plative eyes. He 
 was one of the 
 more extreme 
 spirits of the Land 
 League movement, 
 and has been one of 
 the leading movers 
 in the Plan of Cam- 
 paign. But he is 
 of gentle birth, and 
 of University attain- 
 ments. Of course 
 Mr. John Dillon. he has graduated 
 also in the Patriots’ 
 College — every man worth his salt in Ireland 
 has been in gaol. He was twice imprisoned 
 by Mr. 'Forster as a “suspect,” and under 
 Mr. Balfour would probably have died in prison, 
 had not the Chief Secretary prolonged his 
 life and that of the Government by a timely 
 release. As a speaker Mr. Dillon is compara- 
 tively restrained. He says violent things, but 
 says them with a contemplative air and in melan- 
 choly monotone. Yet he can stir a meeting to the 
 heart. Indeed, when he is really roused, there 
 are few men among the Irish party whose simple 
 pathos or bitter scorn can move his countrymen 
 more profoundly. To him also, more, perhaps, than 
 to any’ other Irish member, is due such popularity 
 as the Nationalist cause has obtained with English 
 audiences. That is due to his sincerity, his 
 enthusiasm, and his power of impressing 
 this personality on others. Thus he com- 
 pletely won the hearts of an audience of Cam- 
 bridge undergraduates at “the Union” a few 
 years ago — most of whom at the outset, as he said, 
 “probably thought him no better than a felon.” 
 Mr. Dillon’s entertainment at another time by the 
 Dean of Winchester will also be remembered. Mr. 
 Dillon was educated at. the Catholic University, 
 where he was distinguished for proficiency in 
 mathematics. He also graduated in medicine. 
 He is 41, and was one of those at whom the 
 Special Commission was specially aimed.

 Among all the men who followed Mr. Parnell 
 faithfully while he served Ireland, and stood 
 boldly against him when he postponed his country 
 to himself, the figure of Michael Davitt is most 
 conspicuous. In the Parnell crisis, as always, 
 he was consistent and courageous. Except J ohn 
 
 Mr. J. Deasy. 
 
93 
 
 Mr. M. Davitt. 
 
 Dillon, there is no Irish Nationalist who has 
 wrung so much respect from foes as well as friends. 
 “Without fear of con- 
 tradiction,” said Sir 
 Charles Russell, before 
 the Special Commission, 
 
 “ I say that the whole 
 course of his life may be 
 examined, and not one 
 will he found to s -y 
 that he has been un- 
 faithful to any trust or 
 has been gu l:y of anv 
 dishonourable action.” 
 
 Nothing, probably, did 
 more to clear the majo- 
 rity of the Irish party 
 from the stigma of 
 English party dictation 
 than the adhesion to 
 it of Mr. Davitt. There 
 is not a more indepen- 
 dent man in the three 
 kingdoms Mr. Parnell 
 had the talent of com- 
 promise. Mr. Davitt has the passion of prin- 
 ciple. He has often offended not only the 
 British Liberal partv, but his friends and co- 
 workers of the Irish parliamentary party, by 
 his inconvenient way of always saying what he 
 means and meaning what he really believes. 
 When Mr. Parnell was being examined before the 
 Commission, the counsel for the Tunes put to 
 him a number of alleged quotations— violent 
 passages, revolutionary or anti-English, dating from 
 the old less hopeful days of Nationalism ; and one 
 by one, with icy regularity, Mr. Parnell repudiated, 
 disclaimed, or deprecated such language, as 
 language which he could never have uttered or 
 approved. Hard by sat Mr. Davitt, visibly chafing, 
 with such sotto voce ejaculations as — “/ wouldn’t 
 say that. Wait till my turn comes.’' And when 
 Mr. Davitt’s turn did come, he won all 
 hearts, if he scandalized a few heads, by 
 the outspoken way in which he acknowledged 
 the intransigeant line wh ; ch he had once 
 taken, and which he would take again if all else 
 failed his country. Michael Davitt has had good 
 reason to be intransigeant. We cradled him in 
 wrong, and trained him in prison to revenge. The 
 son of an evicted Mayo peasant, his first vivid 
 childish memory is of being flung out upon the 
 roadside with his father and mother to beg or 
 starve. Working for his bread as a little child, 
 he met the accident in a Lancashire mill 
 which has left him for life with one sleeve 
 dangling idly at his side. The calamity 
 helped him to a little book-reading, which, 
 was the beginning c of his self-education 
 He attended the Wesleyan school at Haslingden, 
 and was employed as assistant letter-carrier and 
 book-keeper in the printing and post office there. 
 Of course he joined the Fenian movement, took 
 part in the attempt on Chester Castle, and was 
 arrested while forwarding arms to Ireland. 
 Seven years Michael Davitt was put to brood 
 over the past and plot for the future among 
 thieves and felons. Soon alter his release a 
 visit to America, followed by a vigorous share in 
 the Irish land war, crystallized Davitt into an 
 ardent land nationalizer, or rather communizer, and 
 he has worked ever since for that object, and 
 on the international labour lines which he 
 started the short-lived Labour World to promote 
 As the “Father of the Land League” he was 
 imprisoned again in 1881, after but three years of 
 liberty ; the announcement of his arrest in the 
 House being the occasion of one of the most 
 memorable scenes in its history — the wholesale 
 suspension of the Irish members. Yet to-day, 
 after all this, after Dartmocr and after Portland, 
 Mr. Davitt can point to a greater record of 
 brave, outspoken denunciation of crime and 
 extreme measures than perhaps any other pro- 
 minent Nationalist. In private life, the ex-Fenian 
 convict, with his bushy eyebrows and dark piercing 
 eyes, and his thin, thoughtful, bearded face, is one 
 of the. kindest, simplest, and most lovable of men. 
 When at home he resides in one of the prettiest 
 localities in Ireland. “Land League Cottage,” 
 Ballybrack — which was given to him as a National 
 wedding present iu 1887 — overlooks one of the 
 loveliest landscapes in a country of unrivalled 
 varied scenery. It is a small, one-storied 
 house, plainly but comfortably furnished, and 
 is surrounded by neatly-kept grounds, on which 
 the founder of the Land League has expended more 
 personal labour than money ; for of the latter com- 
 modity he has only what he earns by his literary 
 work. He is very fond of flowers, and devotes his 
 leisure hours to their cultivation. The employ- 
 
 ment must remind him of the days when as “ Con- 
 vict W 822 ” he reclaimed the infirmary garden of 
 Portland Prison. At ones fierce and gentle, loyal 
 to others and true to himself, Michael Davitt has 
 an immense hold on the minds and hearts of his 
 fellow-countrymen. He was perhaps the first 
 among the Irish to see the true nature of the 
 Parnell crisis, and his “Appeal to the Irish 
 People” (in the Labour World of November 27, 
 1890) doubtless did much to screw up the courage 
 of the patriots to the sticking point. His it was 
 throughout the crisis to — 
 
 “ move through the ranks, recall 
 The stragglers, refresh the outworn, 
 
 Praise, reinspire the brave.” 
 
 He was the presiding spirit at the famous Kil- 
 kenny election of December 22, 1890, but was himself 
 defeated at Waterford in the following year. He 
 is 46.

 For there is no doubt at 
 
 all that the Welsh are his own people.

 educated at Bala College and University College, 
 Aberystwith. He subsequently went up to New 
 College, Oxford (where he distinguished himself 
 considerably) then took to politics as private 
 secretary to Mr. Brunner, and finally won his 
 Merionethshire seat from the Tories. His con- 
 stituents and friends recently presented him with a 
 purse of £1,000 on his recovery from a severe 
 illness. He is a good Radical, and a frequent 
 contributor to the Welsh press.

 Mr. William Pritchard Morgan started life as a

 was produced. But he has not confined his 
 searches for gold to the colonies. He has searched 
 and found in the Welsh mountains, not far from 
 Dolgelly, and has since waged a battle royal with 
 the Crown as to how much of it is private and how 
 much public property. For though a convinced 
 Radical Mr. Pritchard Morgan does not believe in 
 the nationalization of precious metals — or at least, 
 until the discoverer of them has himself made a 
 substantial profit. In the House of Commons, 
 therefore, he has been a man with a grievance, but 
 outside of it he carries his troubles lightly ; 
 
 is equal to comic songs, with or without accom- 
 paniment, and can tell numerous good yarns. He 
 is not new to electioneering, for before returning 
 to his native Wales he contested two seats as a 
 Liberal supporter of Sir Samuel Griffith in 
 Australia. He is a bit of an Imperialist, too, and 
 when the Australian contingent was being de- 
 spatched to the Soudan he subscribed £500 
 towards its equipment. He is one of the first 
 experts in gold-mining, is patentee of the dry 
 process, and organized the gold-mining depart- 
 ment at the Colonial Exhibition six years ago. 
 Mr. Pritchard Morgan’s father was a Noncon- 
 formist minister, and he himself is a member 
 of the Calvinistic Methodist body. He is 48.

 Mr. Joseph Havelock Wilson is the Sailors' 
 Member. His career has been a notable one ; and 
 his success is the latest illustration of a man 
 making an institution and the institution making 
 the man. Starting life at the age of nine 
 as an apprentice to a lithographic printer, 
 Havelock Wilson (Havelock, probably, because 
 of the association of the great General Havelock 
 with Sunderland, the place of his birth) shipped 
 at the age of 13 on a co'lier, and for 15 years he 
 sailed the seas, seeing something in the mean- 
 while of the American cattle trade. Settling 
 down as the keeper of a dining-room in Sunder- 
 land, he turned his energies to the accom- 
 plishment of that most difficult of tasks — a task 
 many friends of the sailor had previously essayed in 
 in vain— the combination of the seafaring classes. 
 Overcoming great difficulties, he established in 
 1887 the National Amalgamated Sailors’ and 
 Firemen’s Union of Great Britain and Ireland, 
 for which a membership of 80,000 and an income 
 of £2,00C a week is claimed : and though his 
 
94 
 
 administration as secretary has been the subject of 
 intense hostile criticism, Mr. Wilson seems to quite 
 hold his own. Mr. Wilson was a leading figure 
 in the dock strikes which were such a feature of 
 1890-91, and the Cardiff stipendiary magistratesent 
 him to prison on a charge of intimidation, for 
 which he contended there was not a tittle of 
 foundation. He has repeatedly given evidence 
 before Parliamentary Committees, and occupies 
 a leading position on the Trades Union Congress 
 Parliamentary Committee. He is only 35.

 George Hamilton’s acceptance of office as First

 The Right Hon. Lord George Francis Hamilton 
 is or was one of the many “promising young 
 men ” on the Tory side. 
 
 He is certainly “dis- 
 tinguished”-looking,and 
 (except when attacking 
 Mr. Gladstone) is par- 
 ticularly well mannered. 
 
 Society having further 
 decided that Lord 
 George was a states- 
 man, he has been duly 
 promoted by the Tories, 
 through the official 
 hierarchy (Under- 
 secretary for India 1874- 
 ’78, Vice-President of 
 the Council 1878-80), 
 until he became First 
 Lord of the Admiralty, 
 
 1885-86 — a post to which 
 he was reappointed by 
 Lord Salisbury in 1886. 
 
 It is not many years since he was destined for the 
 highest place by sanguine friends, but that was 
 before Mr. Balfour was dreamt of, and for the last 
 six years he has been marking time. His period at 
 the Admiralty has been marked by a boom in guns 
 and ships (for which Mr. Ashmead- Bartlett also 
 claims credit) but Lord George has hardly struck 
 the experts as a genius in naval affairs. He is a 
 dull and fluent speaker, with a great deal of 
 manner. He was educated at Harrow, and 
 served in the army (Rifle Brigade and Cold- 
 stream Guards) until he was elected for Middle- 
 sex in 1868. He is 47.

 1886 : Gladstone (L), unopposed. 
 
 “ He will never be able to fill the place of 
 Lord Palmerston, inasmuch as he is deficient 
 in that pugnacity which is necessary to rouse 
 popular enthusiasm.” It requires some effort of 
 imagination to believe that this was the judgment 
 pronounced — and by a very competent observer, 
 too — not more than thirty years ago upon the hero 
 of one forgets how many Midlothian campaigns ; 
 of the man whose power of contagious enthusiasm 
 
95 
 
 has enabled him in the short space of six years to 
 raise an outcast cause into the first place in the 
 programme of a victorious pa^ty ; whose extra- 
 ordinary popularity is dependent, in no small 
 degree, upon his fighting qualities ; and whose 
 boldness and pugnacity have drawn upon him, in 
 almost equal measure and at the same time, the 
 devotion and the detestation of his contempo- 
 raries. Sir James Stephen’s estimate was wofully 
 at fault. But Mr. Gladstone’s character is like 
 
 Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, 
 
 (From a photograph by Messrs. Russell & Sons.) 
 
 his face ; so mobile that it never appears the same 
 for long together ; so many-sided that to each 
 observer it shows a different front, so complex that 
 he seems not one but an epitome of all the great 
 statesmen of the century — combining, as some one 
 has said, “the eloquence of Fox, the experience of 
 Chatham, the courage of Pitt, with the financial and 
 1 administrative capacity of Peel.” But— and here 
 * is another illustration of the complexity of Mr. 
 Gladstone’s gifts — the many-sided catholicity of 
 his mind and the variety of his genius leave him 
 nevertheless possessed of a singleness of purpose 
 and concentration of effort to which it were hard to 
 find any parallel. Never more than during these 
 last six years of unexampled difficulty has Mr. 
 Gladstone moved on a higher moral plane ; 
 never— not even during the Bulgarian agita- 
 tion — has he exhibited more clearly his mar- 
 vellous faculty for setting his whole heart 
 and soul upon one subject. And this he has done 
 while attaining to an age greater than that at 
 which any statesman before him has continued to 
 participate actively in affairs. In one respect only 
 has Mr. Gladstone shown any serious sign of age- 
 ing. Confronted with any new subject, he feels 
 like a schoolboy confronted with a task in an 
 ■ unknownland. But this isadefectwhichhasitscom- 
 pensating quality in confirming his concentration 
 with the more intensity upon the one remaining 
 object of his life. As incidents in the pursuit of that 
 object, he has shattered the most powerful party 
 in modern English politics, and deposed the most 
 powerful leader whom the Irish race have had for 
 a generation. He has now defeated at the polls 
 the most powerful Coalition of modern times, and 
 is about to return to office under circumstances 
 which will give unique opportunities for the 
 display of his powers as Old Parliamentary Hand. 
 His last word to the electors of Midlothian was 
 that they might trust him to address himself to his 
 task “with courage and with energy.” Not the 
 most truculent or bigoted of his opponents will 
 doubt that. And he is 83 — having been born on 
 December 29, 1809 ; educated at Eton and Christ 
 Church; M.P. for Newark 1832-45; for Oxford 
 University, ’47-’65 ; for South Lancashire, ’65-’68 ; 
 for Greenwich, ’68-’80; and since then for Mid- 
 lothian.

 descendant of the old Irish family of the Five 
 Castles, who in cen-

 South-West Munster, 
 and had their historic 
 freebooting stronghold 
 at Baltimore. Mr. 
 O’Driscoll was b^rn 
 in November. 1£53, 
 in Queen’s County, 
 where his father held 
 the position of man- 
 agertnabank. Twelve 
 years later the family 
 emigrated to Australia, 
 and in the new country 
 young O’Driscoll 
 speedily struck out 
 a line for himself, 
 obtaining employment 
 first in the Surveyor- 
 General’s branch of 
 the public service of 
 Queensland, and then 
 in the engineer’s branch of the railway depart- 
 ment, in which employ, at fifteen years of age, 
 he began his practical training as an engineer 
 on a surveyor’s camp in the bush. He lose 
 rapidly in the service, and at twenty-four 
 years of age held the position of Government 
 engineer in charge of an important section of rail- 
 way construction. _ In 1885, having resigned his 
 Government appointment, he came to England on 
 a financial mission for a private firm, and since 
 then has made his headquarters in London. 
 In the past six years he has, in pursuit of 
 his profession, visited nearly every country in 
 the world, and has travelled mainly off the beaten 
 tracks. He has quite recently returned from the 
 heart of the continent of South America, after a 
 journev ot over 5,000 miles upon inland rive's. 
 Mr. O’Driscoll, who has for several years enjoyed 
 the friendship of the leaders of the Irish party, has 
 written much for technical and scientific journals, 
 notably for Engineering , and is author of a 
 standard work on metallurgy. He is 6 ft. 3 in. in 
 height, a fine horseman, a dead shot, and a staunch

 “ A day with Mr. Gladstone,” said Mr. Stuart 
 Rendel to his constituents the other day, “ is a 
 Liberal education." If 
 so, Mr. Rendel should 
 be one of the most 
 
 iiberally educated men

 \r'T// \\ k‘ s fortune, to making

 only at Carlton-gardens 
 (in the house which Mr. Rendel bought from Lord 
 Ripon), but in Lady Strangford’s old villa, near 
 Naples, and at Valescure, on the Riviera ; 
 and Mr. Rendel has now the credit of having 
 turned out his grand old charge a younger man 
 than ever. It was Mr. Rendel’s victory in 1880 in 
 Montgomeryshire — a county which had been in the 
 pocket of the Wynns of Wynnstay for half a 
 century — which first brought him into political 
 notice. He was selected to move the Address, and 
 in spite of the fact that he is not a Welshman, he 
 gradually assumed a prominent position among 
 the Welsh Liberals. He is President of the North 
 Wales Liberal Federation, and writes pamphlets 
 (which Mr. Gladstone reads) on Welsh questions. 
 Before taking to politics, Mr. Rendel was an 
 engineer. He joined Sir William Armstrong’s 
 engineering firm in 1870 ; was for some time its 
 managing partner, and is still a director. He was 
 born in 1834, and educated at Eton and Oriel 
 College, Oxford. One of his daughters recently 
 marr.ed Mr. Gladstone’s son, Henry.

 Mr. Burt has the by no means slight distinction 
 of having sat in the House of Commons since 1874 
 without losing those 
 good qualities which 
 caused him to he 
 sent there by his 
 fellow coal-miners. 
 
 He is the secretary 
 of the Northumber-

 He was born fifty- 
 five years ago, in a 
 cottage adjoining 
 the coal line which 
 runs from Back- 
 
 worth to the North- 
 umberland Docks at 
 North Shields, and 
 he worked in the ‘ 
 mines at an early 
 age. He sprang 
 
 into prominence by 
 the active and saga- 
 cious part he played 
 in the strike of his fellow-miners at Cramlington 
 in ’ 1866. He is experienced in conciliation and 
 arbitration, and is Presidentof the Miners’ National 
 Association. Mr. Burt was one of the British dele- 
 gates to the International Labour Conference 
 held at Berlin in March, 1890 ; and in the recent 
 delicate matters of the Miners’ Eight Hours Bill 
 and the Durham strike he displayed that prudence 
 and courage which those familiar with his career 
 and character might have expected. Mr. Burt is a 
 great reader, writes occasional articles to the 
 monthly reviews, and is a temperance and a peace 
 man. His modest, manly bearing has made him a 
 great favourite at St. Stephen’s.

 There are few men better known in Newcastle 
 than Alderman Hamond ; and this was his 
 seventh Parliamentary contest in the city of 
 his adoption. Mr. 
 Charles Frederick Ha- 
 mond, who is 75 years 
 of age, is the son of 
 Mr. G. F. Hamond, of 
 Blackheath, a London 
 shipowner and broker ; 
 and he has always been 
 associated in he popu- 
 lar mind at Newcastle 
 with the London house 
 of the Rothschilds. 
 
 A ter a long career as 
 a shipping agent on 
 the quayside, he retired 
 from business in 1862, 
 and in 1865 he was 
 called to the bar at the 
 Middle Temple, although he never practised. 
 As a speaker he is disjointed, verbose, and, except 
 for slight bursts of piquancy, unimpressive ; but 
 he possesses a certain measure of “ go,” and all 
 along has skilfully taken advantage of the good- 
 natured attitude of the townsfolk to a “canny 
 man.” He is somewhat of a “ character,” mani- 
 fested Tory-Democratic sympathies almost before 
 Lord Randolph Churchill was born, has always 
 sought to ingratiate himself into the good opinion 
 of the working population, and is familiarly 
 known throughout the city as “ Charlie.” He 
 has persistently manifested a great interest in the 
 local affairs of Newcastle, being elected, after 
 repeated contests,’ member of the School Board 
 and the Corporation ; and he was presented with 
 the honoraiy freedom of the city in 1890. The 
 manner of the man, the public conception of him, 
 and the character of the contest may be judged 
 from the following extract from the Newcastle 
 Leader : — “With few exceptions, if anv, every 
 one of the tap-rooms of the seven hundred 
 public-houses in the city was an electioneering 
 agency for ‘ Old Charlie,’ and although the extra- 
 ordinary cry for a Tory candidate ‘ Working men, 
 plump for Hamond and a free breakfast table,’ 
 was placarded, the squibs and cartoons, not to 
 defame the word literature, were more or less 
 * beery.’ A comical election song had been set to 
 the never • failing ‘ Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay,’ and 
 claimed even there from Mr. Morley ‘ to win the 
 day’ because ‘a workman’s beer he’d take 
 away.’ Truly the Tory candidature was all 
 ‘ Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay.’ Flaming colour was every- 
 where predominant ; but many of the more con- 
 spicuous supporters of ‘ Old Charlie ’ needed 
 no such mark, for there was many a ‘ knight 
 of the rubicund countenance’ in the field, j 
 The conglomerate candidate did not scruple to ( 
 amuse the public in the principal thoroughfares by 
 dressing up professional beggars in his colours, , 
 placarding a blind man in Grainger-street ‘ Plump \ 
 for Hamond, the friend of the blind,’ which no- , 
 body will deny, and rising from the ridiculous to 
 the sublime in the same public way by the more 
 elegant and fashionable style of a ‘scarlet lady,’ 
 who drove up and down Grainger-street as a flam- 
 ing advertisment for ‘ Plucky Charlie.’”

 “ Two men have made me,” said Mr. John 
 Morley to a recent interviewer — “John Stuart 
 Mill and Mr. Gladstone.” Mr. Morley has amply 
 repaid his debt to his 
 makers. To the philo- 
 sopher he has paid the 
 tribute of carrying on the 
 tradition of philosophic 
 Radicalism, with some- 
 thing too of Mill’s mild 
 persistence. His debt 
 to Mr. Gladstone he has 
 paid by serving the old 
 man in critical times 
 with rare fidelity and 
 devotion. Alternately 
 with Sir W. Harcourt, 
 he is now Mr. Glad- 
 stone’s right-hand man, 
 and, unlike the former 
 gentleman, his straight- 
 forwardness and intellec- 
 tual force are recognized Rt. Hon. J. Morlev. 
 by the enemy. He dots 
 
 not like the phrase, but when people call him 
 “ Honest John,” they mean it. He is also probably 
 
 Alderman Hamond.

 the only member of the last Liberal Cabinet who if 
 the precincts of Parliament were forbidden him for 
 ever could feel that he had in him the capacity to 
 do better work elsewhere. It is the fashion 
 to say that Mr. Morley has given up to 
 Party politics what was meant for the world of 
 literature. It would, perhaps, be truer so say that 
 he has lent to party politics the intellectual force 
 and moral fervour derived from the study, and 
 received back from them the grasp which only the 
 experience of affairs can give. Another common 
 delusion, which Mr. Morley has exposed in one of 
 his most charming essays, is that his politics are 
 founded on “French Models,” and that he is a 
 Revolutionist of the Terror in English drab. 
 As a matter of fact, he is, as somebody 
 has said, not a Jacobin but a cautious 
 Whig. He is said to have remarked on one 
 occasion that Mr. Bradlaugh, Mr. Parnell and 
 himself were the most Conservative members of 
 the House. Had he included Mr. Gladstone in the 
 company, most observing persons would agree 
 with him, however strange the statement may 
 appear to the multitude. But the fact is that 
 there is no well-known man who is known so ill as 
 Mr. Morley. “One great delusion is,” remarks 
 Mr. Stead in the Revierv of Reviews*' that he is an 
 austere, stern unsympathetic person — an incarnate 
 ' genius of political righteousness — going about the 
 world in a frock-coat and trousers. He has, 
 it is true, an austere physiognomy. * That 
 nose,’ said a journalist who met Li.n for 
 the first time, ‘ is powerful as a two-edged 
 sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of the 
 joints and marrow.’ There is also in him, as he 
 remarked about his hero Burke, ‘ a certain inborn 
 statesman of nature, which keeps people at a dis- 
 tance. But there would not be a greater mistake 
 than to confound this grave sedateness of demeanour 
 with a chilly indifference to the deeper emotions. 
 He has a great deal more of the poetic tempera- 
 ment than most of his contemporaries, and deep 
 within him burns that central fire of passion 
 without which poetry is but as the tinkling 
 cymbal.” But we must turn from his character 
 to his career. Mr. Morley is the first instance 
 of a man stepping from an editor’s desk to 
 a seat in the Cabinet. Mr. Morley was bom 
 at Blackburn in 1838. He went to Cheltenham, 
 and afterwards to Lincoln College, Oxford, 
 at neither of which, like others who have 
 risen, did he give signs of his future greatness. 
 He did not even shine at the Union — a distinction 
 which, as his admirable speech there the other 
 day must have shown the undergraduates, is 
 not essential to future oratorical eminence. 
 He graduated, and came up to London to try his 
 luck with letters. He wrote reviews for the 
 Literary Gazette , which were noticed by Mr. 
 Cook, the famous editor of the Saturday Review 
 in its palmy days, and secured him work for that 
 journal. He read law with his friend Mr. 
 Frederic Harrison, travelled in America to study 
 democratic institutions, and became editor of the 
 Fortnightly ' in succession to G. H. Lewes, in 
 which capacity he gave an invaluable lift up to his 
 friend Mr. Chamberlain. “ Speaking to me of 
 those times with a touch of sadness,” says Mr. 
 Morley ’s French interviewer, “ he said, 1 We 
 were as two brothers.’ I repeated this to Mr. 
 Chamberlain, who replied gravely, ‘ It is true.’ ” 
 The two brothers certainly know the weak places 
 of each other. Mr. Morley’s works on Voltaire, 
 Diderot, and Rousseau were written in retire- 
 ment in the country; his “Life of Cobden” 
 whilst he was editing the Pall Mall Gazette 
 and making his first mark on the political 
 history of the time by his strenuous opposition 
 to Mr. Forster’s administration of Ireland. 
 In his own discharge of this duty, Mr. Morley’s 
 devotion to the Nationalist cause smoothed his 
 path. Mr. Parnell in an account— doubtless more 
 or less apocryphal — of a memorable interview, 
 described Mr. Morley’s attitude as one of “ throw- 
 ing his hands.” He has yet to falsify this 
 spiteful tleasantry by the practical mastery of 
 difficulty in “ tight places” — which are likely 
 to arise °nthe Eight Hours’ Question as well as 
 on Home Rule. It also remains to be seen how far 
 he will obtain any great masteryover the House of 
 Commons. One would have thought that Mr. Mor- 
 ley s style would have appealed to tWew rather than 
 to the many, but, oddly enough, he is much more 
 effective on a platform than in the House of 
 Commons. He cannot debate in cold blood, and 
 is rarely equal to a sharp retort on the spur of the 
 moment. Nor is he at home with the forms of the 
 House of Commons and its numerous little 
 ways. But when his blood is up le can 
 
 speak superlatively well, whether in the House 
 or out of it — witness his reply to Mr. Bal- 
 four’s speech on introducing the Local Govern- 
 ment Bill. But like most men of moods he lacks 
 the ability of doing well and adequately on 
 ordinary occasions. But whatever he may do or 
 become, he will remain one of the two or three 
 most interesting personalities in English politics.

 the well-known Kalical

 period. Mr. Allen’s 
 lather, Mr. W. S. Allen, 
 represented Newcastle- 
 under - Lyme as a 
 Liberal for over 20 
 years until 1885, but 
 since then he has been 
 put down as a Liberal 
 U nionist — indeed, if our 
 memory serves us, he 
 Mr. W. Allen. was nominated as such 
 for a neighbouring con- 
 stituency whilst on his .return from a visit 
 to New Zealand (where he was an extensive 
 landowner) last year. The new member was 
 educated at Rydal Mount School, Colwyn 
 Bay, and at the time of his nomination was 
 at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and he is 
 described as an effective speaker. Like his 
 father, he is a good Methodist. He is a good 
 Radical, and to the party programme hs has 
 added a pledge to vote for the Miners’ Eight 
 Hours Bill. Newcastle-under-Lyme contains a 
 considerable miners’ vote, and at one time Mr. 
 Edwards, miners’ agent for North Staffordshire, 
 was nominated as a candidate. The rapidly- 
 g owing Imperial Federation party will probably 
 count Mr. Allen as a recruit, for he has repeatedly 
 visited the United States and the colonies.

 Mr. William 
 Saunders, for-

 Hull, is well 
 known in the

 world, having 
 been for a num- 
 ber of years the 
 proprietor and 
 manager of the 
 Central News 
 Agency. He 
 won his capital 
 by opening the 
 large stone 
 quarries near 
 Bath, and he 
 has since inte- 
 rested himself 
 in certain 
 American en- 
 terprises. He Mr. W. Saunders. 
 
 is the author 
 
 of a book called “ Through the Light Con- 
 
 tinent, ’’which at the time of its publication won the 
 high commendation of Mr. Gladstone. The son 
 of an active Wiltshire Liberal, Mr. Saunders was 
 educated at Devizes Grammar school, and was early 
 interested in politics. In 1860 he. founded 
 the Western Morning News, published at 
 Plymouth. The Central News was an out- 
 come of experience gained on the working 
 of his first newspaper. One of his triumphs for 
 the Central News was getting a special wire into 
 the gallery of St. Paul’s on the occasion of the 
 Thanksgiving Service. In 1864 he established 
 the principal journal in Hull — The Eastern Morn- 
 ing News. He has now retired from the Central 
 News and taken to extreme courses. He wears 
 a velveteen jacket, is a friend of Henry George, 
 and used to hold levies in Trafalgar-square. He 
 is rather deaf, and he is a teetotaller. He is 68. 
 He is a prominent Progressive member of the 
 L.C.C., and took an active part in opposing both 
 the Bethnal-green Improvement Scheme (which 
 he regards as putting a premium on bad land- 
 lords) and the Blackwall Tunnel (as being too 
 costly). He was member for East Hull in 1885, 
 was a hot and strong opponent of Clause 24 in the 
 Home Rule Bill, but finally voted for the second 
 reading. He lost his seat in Hu’l in 1886, but 
 easily consoled himself with London politics.

 joined the 5th Royal 
 Irish Lancers, and went 
 to India with his regi-

 Herbert to report on the Italian cavalry. Next

 Mr. Herbert Hardy Cozens-Hardy, Q.C., is a 
 well-known member of the Chancery bar. His 
 latest notable appear- 
 ance was as leader for 
 the Times in Walter v. 
 Steinkopff, when he 
 enunciated the novel 
 copyright doctrine that 
 pains and penalties 
 may follow the reprint- 
 ing of such a sentence 
 as “ Bismarck is 
 dead,” but that if you 
 say “ Death has laid 
 its icy hand,” &c., you 
 are safe. Is a great 
 authority on patent 
 law and is in his 
 element on “motion 
 mornings.” Was born 
 in 1838, educated at 
 Amershamand London 
 University (of which 
 he is a LL. B., a Fello w, 
 and Member of Coun- 
 cil), and called to the Bar at Lincoln’s Inn 
 1862. Twenty years later was made a Q.C., 
 was elected a bencher of his Inn 1885 ; and 
 is a member of the Bar Committee. He has 
 sat for North Norfolk since 1885, was one of the 
 abstainers from the fateful Home Rule division, 
 but long ago saw the error of his way.

 All the world has heard of Joseph Arch. He 
 has been the Wat Tyler of our peaceful times - the 
 leader of the Peasants’ Rebellion. Mr. Arch was 
 the champion hedger 
 and ditcher of his 
 county, and for some 
 time before he joined 
 in Warwickshire the 
 great movement which 
 resulted in 1872 in the 
 establishment and de- 
 velopment of the Na- 
 tional Agricultural 
 Labourers’ Union ; he 
 was a Primitive Me- 
 thodist local preacher. 
 As president of the 
 union Mr. Arch has 
 been the leading out- 
 side agitator for par- 
 liamentary reform. Mr. Arch, who lives in his 
 own freehold cottage, owes much to his wife, for 
 it was at her prompting, it is said, that he first 
 took to “book learning,” and studied over his pipe 
 in the kitchen corner. Mr. Arch made an unsuc- 
 cessful attempt upon Wilton against Mr. Sidney 
 Herbert in 1880, but territorial influences were too 
 much for him. He has had his revenge now , having 
 defeated a lord and the heir-presumptive to a duke- 
 dom. He also has the honour of representing a 
 Prince, for Sandringham is in his constituency. As 
 a platform speaker he is very good at “ untutored 
 eloquence.” In Canada, a few years ago, where 
 Mr. Arch had gone to “ spy out the land” for his 
 brethren, he received^ quite a royal reception. 
 He is a chip of the old block, and his tradi- 
 tions date from the days when the labourer 
 who tried to organize a union would have been 
 transported to Australia. In these times he hardly 
 ranks as an advanced man, and once, at a 
 meeting of Mr. Henry George’s, he moved an 
 amendment against any confiscatory proposals. .

 Some thirty years ago or more a young attache 
 in her Majesty’s diplomatic service failed to put in 
 an appearance at Constantinople at the 
 appointed time, and formal inquiry was made 
 as to the reason for the delay. In due course 
 a letter arrived at the Foreign Office stating 
 that as inadequate provision had been made for 
 his travelling expenses, and that as his private 
 means were limited the attache was walking, and 
 would in due time reach the shores of the Bos- 
 phorus. On another occasion, when the same 
 young gentleman was stationed at Washington, an 
 aggressively irate countryman called and demanded 
 to see the British Minister. “ Not here ! Then I 
 shall wait till he comes.” “Very well,” replied 
 the attache, “pray. take a chair.” The < 
 visitor waited and waited. “Was the Minister 
 likely to be in in another hour ? ” “I think not,” < 
 replied the imperturbable attache, blandly. “ The 
 fact is, he sailed for Europe on Wednesday, and 
 can hardly yet have reached Queenstown. But, , 
 you know, you said you would wait till he came ' 
 in, so I offered you a chair.” The child is father 
 to the man — the attachd to the politician ; and, 
 needless to say, the hero of these tales was the 
 witty, cynical “ Labby,” 
 who always commands 
 the ear of the House, for 
 he is never dull, ofcen 
 original, and generally 
 lively. But there is 
 another side to Mr. 
 
 Labouchere. “ Behind 
 that mocking tongue,” 
 writes one of his admirers, 
 
 “ there is a mind as clear, 
 as cold, and as masculine 
 as any in the House of 
 Commons ; and his per- 
 siflage is but a mask 
 for very serious, and 
 sometimes for very 
 deadly, purpose.” That Mr. Labouchere 
 he has persuaded other 
 
 persons to take him seriously. is thus certain ; 
 whether he has ever succeeded in taking himself 
 so is more doubtful. Unquestionably, however, he 
 has during the last few years become an jncreasingly 
 important personage in the political world. 
 
 He was very useful to Mr< Gladstone during 
 the Home Rule negotiations, and among the 
 London Radical working men “ the gospel 
 according to Labouchere" is preached with much 
 popularity. In the matter of Pigott his services 
 were perhaps less unexceptionable. He did right 
 thines, but did them in the wrong way, and to this 
 moment there are Tories— or at any rate Liberal 
 Unionists— who believe that he bribed Pigott not 
 merely to make a false confession but to make 
 away with himself. In view of such services, the 
 question has naturally been raised whether Ml. 
 Labouchere would in the event of a Liberal victory 
 be offered office — a question which is as much 
 debated as the further one whether in any case 
 he would consent to sell his birthright of cynical 
 independence for a mess of front-bench pottage. 
 
 If he e\er takes office a new place ought" to by 
 made for him as Minister of Justice or Director- 
 General of Public Prosecutions; for his exposure of 
 
99 
 
 rogues and scoundrels, through Truth, has been a 
 real public service. Henry Labouchere was born 
 61 years ago, and was educated at Eton. 
 He retired from the Diplomatic service in 1864, 
 and turned his attention to politics. By an 
 odd coincidence the remorseless opponent of 
 Royal Grants and curtailer of Civil Lists sat 
 originally for the royal borough of Windsor. He 
 subsequently acted as special correspondent for 
 the Daily News in Paris, and his letters of 
 “A Besieged Resident” made a great sensa- 
 tion. He is the proprietor of Truth , which 
 he established in 1876, and is a large shareholder 
 in the Daily News. He is rich and a man of the 
 world ; but he has a soft heart. He is an 
 omnivorous reader, but a small eater. Except at 
 the stern command of his physician (says the 
 chronicler already quoted), he has not touched 
 wine for years, and then the order was confined to 
 a s ngle glass of claret daily. He is equally 
 indifferent to eating and surroundings ; would dine 
 quite willingly at a ham-and-beef shop — has 
 done so in his time — and sleep in an attic 
 quite as comfortably as in a palace. He dresses 
 so badly that Sir Charles Russell once accused 
 him of doing so in order to reduce the damages in 
 an action for libel ; and he would, if possible, 
 order his boots by the score from a machine-made 
 boot shop in his beloved Northampton. Of all the 
 things that wealth can buy, he cares only for one, 
 and, as the cigarettes he smokes are voted mode- 
 rate in quality, even in poverty he probably could 
 treat himself to all the luxury he requires.

 The career of Mr. Moses Philip Manfield is in 
 striking contrast with that of his colleague. Sixty 
 yeahrs ago, as a poor lad, 
 the son of working-class 
 parents, he tramped from 
 Bristol to Northampton. 
 
 He fell on his feet— first 
 literally and then meta- 
 phorically ; and coming, 
 as was natural, to the con- 
 clusion that there was 
 nothing like leather, set 
 to work to build up a boot 
 business. This he did 
 with such success that he 
 became in time the head Mr. M. P. Manfield. 
 of one of the largest 1 oot- 
 
 and-shoe manufactories in the kingdom, with retail 
 establishments by the score in all the large towns. 
 For t wen ty-five years he has satin the Town Council, 
 either as councillor or alderman, the latter of which 
 positions he now holds. He has been Mayor of 
 the borough, and is a justice of the peace. During 
 the trade dispute of 1887, Alderman Manfield 
 was president of the Boot and Shoe Manufacturers’ 
 Association, and was unanimously elected chair- 
 man of an arbitration board which was the out- 
 come of that dispute. He resigned these positions 
 last year through ill-health. Mr. Manfield is a 
 Unitarian, and is well known for his generous 
 heart. He is 73.

 “ i am not an agricultural labourer,” explained 
 Mr. C. R. Spencer — “ Bobbie Spencer,” as he is 
 affectionately called — 
 in a recent speech. It 
 was hardly necessary 
 to explain, for there 
 were very few to whom 
 the idea had ever 
 occurred. Indeed, the 
 Hon. Charles Robert 
 Spencer is still, as 
 ever, famous for his 
 exquisite manners, and, 
 like Mr. Gladstone, for 
 his collars. There are 
 diversities of cut be- 
 tween the two cases 
 certainly — Mr. Spencer 
 affects severity, Mr. 
 Gladstone laxness ; but 
 there is the same 
 amplitude in them 
 both. With Mr. Spen- 
 cer, if anybody, style 
 is the man, and the 
 straitness of his collars 
 is only’’ part of the 
 general correctness of his attire, which is the 
 admiration and envy’ of every young man 
 about town. Mr. Spencer is not a mere 
 dandy, however, and the pluck with which 
 he rode and walked about Dublin with his half- 
 brother, Earl Spencer, as if it were St. James’s- 
 street, was quite a public service. He was a 
 Groom-in-Waiting in the 1886 Parliament, and 
 junior Liberal Whip in the last one. Time was 
 when he was known as “ Bradlaugh’s baby,” 
 owing to his political connection with Northamp- 
 tonshire, but the influence of Althorp Park had 
 probably a great deal mere to do with that cir- 
 cumstance than Mr. Bradlaugh. He is no baby, 
 by the way, when you come to know him, but has 
 proved a very efficient Whip. His election address 
 was one of the shortest on record, for his political 
 principles, as he reminds the electors of Mid- 
 Northampton, are “ well known to them.” He is 
 35, was educated at Harrow and Trinity, Cam- 
 bridge, and in 1887 married Lord Revelstoke’s 
 daughter.

 Mr. Francis Allston Channing is the son of a 
 Boston Unitarian minister, who died a few years 
 ago, and was perhaps 
 the last surviving incar- 
 nation of the well- 
 meaning transcendenta- 
 lism in philosophy and 
 life which once made 
 that city famous. Mr. 
 Channing’s wife is a

 self is an Oxford man, 
 formerly Fellow of Uni- 
 versity, with a very 
 distinguished record — 
 namely’, honours both 
 in classics and mathe- 
 matics, the Chancellor’s 
 English essay, and the 
 Arnold Historical essay. 
 Mr. Channing did good 
 work in the late Parlia- 
 ment in connection with 
 the Allotments question 
 — indeed, in one session 
 he spoke no less than 
 sixty-five times on this subject. He was the 
 leader of the Liberal opposition to the Tory- 
 Collings clauses for whittling down the 
 measure to a minimum. In addition to the 
 agricultural labourer, he has also shown a 
 special interest in railway servants, and last year 
 he led the movement in favour of obtaining a 
 reduction of their hours through Parliamentary 
 action. Indeed, few members had so full a record 
 during the last Parliament as Mr. Channing’s. 
 There were 2,108 divisions, out of which he 
 attended 1,486 — the highest score in the Liberal 
 partv. He may almost be described as the member 
 for English Tenant Right, for this was the sub- 
 ject to which, under various forms, he devoted 
 most of his attention in the last Parliament He 
 is 51, and a nephew of Dr. William Channing, 
 the famous divine.

 Sir Edward Grey, Bart., is one of a little group 
 of young Oxford men who entered Parliament in 
 1885, and all or most 
 of whom have made 
 their mark. He is 
 still quite boyish in 
 appearance, a notable 
 tennis player, devoted 
 to the country and. 
 fond of all healthy and 
 manly sports. But 
 this has not prevented 
 him from takingpolitics 
 quite seriously’, or from 
 making admirable 
 speeches in an excel- 
 lent House of Com- 
 mons manner, which is 
 perhaps a hereditary 
 gift in the Grey family. 
 He once showed his 
 independence, as a young man of spirit should, 
 by forming one of a diminutive ca.e — a 
 mere rabbit-hole, n fact, as some one called 
 
 D 2

 it — against his own party on the subject of 
 land purchase. But this little adventure did not 
 lose him the favour either of his party or of the 
 party leaders. He is a real Radical, has a serious 
 interest in labour and social questions, and. though 
 a landowner, believes strongly in rural reform and 
 parish councils. He is a tall, good-looking young 
 man, and is much liked on both sides of the House 
 of Commons. He is 30, was educated at Winchester 
 ar.d Balliol, and is married to a daughter of Major 
 Widdrington. Sir Edward Grey particularly dis- 
 tinguished himself at the 1892 meeting of the 
 National Liberal Federation at Newcastle, and his 
 countrymen, along with Mr. John Morley, were 
 filled with high hope of a brilliant future by the 
 telling pointed speech he then made in the city 
 whose chief feature is the tall pillar at the head 
 of Grey-street, surmounted by the statue of Lord 
 Grey of Reform Bill fi me.

 but after Mr. Fenwick 
 h as said what he has to 
 say he sits down, and 
 by so doing saves 
 the time of the House 
 and secures its respect. 
 
 What an advantage it 
 would be if persons Mr. C. Fenwick. 
 with much more pre- 
 tence would follow this plain pitman’s example ! 
 Mr. Fenwick is dead against the Eight Hours 
 Bill for miners; but is prominently associated with 
 the movement for the payment of members. He 
 is one of the band of aids men who have 
 passed from the pits into Parliament. He 
 was working in the pit at Bebside Colliery 
 when he was first invited to contest this 
 division. He was at work “at bank” as early 
 as his ninth year ; and Mr. Fenwick’s father 
 until lately worked alongside of his son in 
 the mine. Mr. Fenwick, who was born at 
 Cramlington in 1850, has more than made 
 up for his too brief school days by determined 
 attention to self-culture, and he has materially 
 assisted in the movement for securing to the 
 mining districts the advantage of the University 
 Extension scheme. He is a teetotaller, and, 
 like others of the miner members, is a Methodist 
 local preacher.

 He is unimpeachable 
 in his Liberalism as in

 he expects the same

 he maintains in him-

 which he permits him- 
 self to unbend are few

 who have earned his

 he has estimable quali-

 is counted somewhat of 
 a martinet. He is a

 The election of Colonel Seely at West Not- 
 hin jh am gives Lord Randolph Churchill at least 
 one Unionist follower on the eight. hours question. 
 Whether Colonel Seely’s conversion on this sub- 
 ject had any reference to the fact that his oppo- 
 nent, Mr. Broadhurst, had offended the mining 
 electors by his opposition to eight hours must of 
 <c curse remain an open question. Colonel Seely 
 of course maintains it to have been pure^ coinci- 
 dence. Apart from eight hours, the Notting- 
 ham electors have been mainly concerned .with 
 the question of . Colonel Seely’s millions. 
 Mr. Broadhurst maintained that he had two or 
 three millions, and ought to return them to the 
 ''workers. Colonel Seely replied “he only 
 wished he had them.” But, whether he has one or 
 two or three millions, he is unquestionably one of 
 the wealthiest men in the country, and the. largest 
 colliery proprietor in the Nottinghamshire dis- 
 trict. He is a man of many charities ; has 
 founded convalescent homes, and supported the 
 Volunteer movement in Notts and Derbyshire with 
 great liberality. He is 59 years of age, a J.P. 
 and D.C. for Notts, and Lieutenant-Colonel of the 
 Notts Rifle Volunteers (Robin Hoods).

 up the knowledge k>f ecclesiastical law and pro-

 many friends throughout the country, as was 
 sho vn by a purse of a thousand guineas and 
 some valuable ornaments of which he was the 
 recipient in 1886. During the few months he was 
 in Parliament he managed to pass a bill extending 
 the hours for the celebration of marriages from noon 
 to 3 p.m. Is understood to have several other bills 
 up his sleeve, to be produced whe l opportunity

 Mr. J. E. Ellis is a Quaker, and an earnest man 
 who takes life and politics very seriously. During 
 the last six years he 
 ha; devoted himself 
 heart and soul to the 
 Irish question, and is 
 probably as well posted 
 up in the incidents of 
 the Balfourian regime 
 as any English member 
 in the House. He 
 dives and burrows for 
 information among blue- 
 books and parliamentary 
 papers, and he makes 
 speeches crammed with 
 facts and figures which 
 sadly overtax the diges- 
 tive organs of the average listener. He is, 
 nevertheless, a most useful and hard-working 
 man, who spares himself no drudgery that he 
 may do his duty by his constituents and the 
 country. He is a strong teetotaller, and sup- 
 ports the Eight Hours Bill for miners. But he 
 is before all things a Glaistonian, and will not 
 
 Mr. J. E. Ellis. 
 
 brook the smallest slight or disparagement of his 
 great leader. He is wealthy, and owns collieries. 
 He is well known in local circles as an able and 
 vigorous man, and as a generous supporter of 
 social progress and general enlightenment. He 
 was educated among the Quaker brotherhood. His 
 father was chairman of the Midland Railway 
 Company. He himself is chairman of the Not- 
 tingham Joint-Stock Bank. He is 51.

 Mr. Joshua Mi ne Cheetham is a local cotton- 
 spinner and a Methodist. His grandfather was 
 amongst the earliest cotton manufacturers in 
 the county, who began business when his 
 particular manufacture was largely a cottage 
 industry, and when the primitive waterwheel 
 had to do in a slow fashion what the modern 
 flywheel does so much more rapidly. The busi- 
 ness so commenced continued to grow and deve- 
 lop, and has descended from father to son even to 
 the fourth generation, being now in the care of 
 Mr. Cheetham’s e'dest son. He was for many 
 years a Sunday-school teacher, and he has taken 
 an active interest in the co-operative movement. 
 He was edu a.ed privately in Oldham, and is 5/. 
 
 Eyfori Park, Bowston-on-the-Water, Glouces- 
 tershire. 
 
 Whatever the sc optics may say, there is certainly 
 such a thing as resurrection of political bodies. 
 Here is Mr. John Tomlinson Hibbert, for instance, 
 who was a Mipister 
 before some of the “new 
 members” now elected 
 with him were out of 
 the nursery, but who 
 has been politically ex- 
 tinct for so long that 
 probably few people 
 know that he is a 
 Right Honourable. He 
 unsuccessfully con- 
 tested Oldham in 18~9, 
 and represented it from 
 1862-74, when he was 
 defeated. He was un- 
 successful at Black- 
 burn in 1875, and was 
 re-elected for Oldham 
 in 1877. He was Par- 
 liamentary Secretary 
 to the Local Govern- 
 ment Board from 
 
 1872-4, and from 
 
 1830-83 ; Parliamen- 
 tary Under-Secretary to the Home Depart 
 ment — succeeding Lord Rosebery — till Decem- 
 ber, 1884, when he became Financial Secretary 
 to the Treasury. In the short Parliament 1885-6 
 he w/s Under-Secretary to the Admiralty. In all 
 these offices he made a reputation for unobtrusive 
 efficiency. But, though Mr. Hibbert may have 
 stepped out of political ken of late, Oldham knows 
 him well. His father, Mr. Elijah Hibbert, was one of 
 the founders of the firm of Hibbert and Platt, which, 
 by its wonderful development, has done so much 
 for the prosperity of the town, and has made 
 Oldham famous throughout the world. Mr. 
 Hibbert was educated at Shrewsbury and Cam- 
 bridge. He is 63.

 Lieutenant-General Sir 
 George Chesney, 
 
 K.C.B., C.S.I., C.I.E., 
 
 R.E., its new member, 
 has a very remarkable 
 Indian record. At the 
 time when the Indian 
 Mutiny broke out he 
 was assistant to the 
 principal of the Thoma- 
 son College at Rorkee, 
 but immediately took 
 service as Biigade- 
 Major of Engineers, and 
 was present at the cap- 
 ture of Delhi. After 
 the Mutiny he became Principal of the Engineer- 
 ing College at Calcutta, then Inspector-General of 
 Accounts, and, finally, Accountant-General. Then 
 for ten years he returned to England and became 
 president of the newly-formed Engineering College 
 at Cooper’s Hill. Then he had another spell in 
 India as military secretary to the Viceroy, and 
 military member of the Viceroy’s Council — 
 a post which he held until April of last year. 
 “ I know better than any one,” said Lord 
 Roberts on the occasion of his retirement, 
 “ how much Sir George Chesney has done 
 for the army during the past five years— more 
 perhaps than any one.” But to the pub ic 
 Sir George is mainly known as author of “ The 
 Battle of Dorking,” which set the fashion for 
 imaginary warfare. Tc a more select public he is 
 equally well known for his “ Indian Polity,” which 
 sketched out some of the main lines of Indian 
 Government reform. *

 General for short 
 periods, and represented 
 Durham City from 1353- 
 1868, since which time 
 he has sat for Oxford 
 University. He was 
 educated at Westmin- 
 ster, and was a junior 
 student of Christ 
 Church. He is a good 
 old crusted Tory, and 
 it is understood that 
 “services to the party " 
 procured him the baro-

 Beaco isfield gave him in 1880.

 educated at the Char- 
 terhouse and Christ 
 Church. He is a 
 brother of the Warden 
 of Keble, and like him 
 is married to a Lyt-

 Sir J. Mowbray are 
 sound Churchmen and

 that they are the results

 When Mr. Brodrick stood for Woodstock against 
 Lord Randolph Churchill, it was a moot point 
 among Oxford dons 
 which . of them had 
 done most harm by 
 assisting him. In Mr. 
 Benson’s case, the 
 question is rather 
 which has given him 
 most help, and that 
 distinction probably 
 belongs to Sir William 
 Markby, the famous 
 Anglo-Indian Liberal, 
 who is tutor of Balliol, 
 and has acted very 
 much as political spon- 
 sor to the Liberal can- 
 didate in these two 
 contests. Further im- 
 portant help has also 
 been given by the 
 Women’s Liberal Federation, which, inspired 
 under Lady Carlisle, has done yeowomen’s ser- 
 vice in this constituency. Mr. Godfrey Rath- 
 bone Benson, the new member, is one of 
 the well-known Benson family, a brother of 
 F. R. Benson, the actor, and of W. A. Benson, 
 the designer of lamps and metal work. He was 
 educated at Winchester and Balliol, where he 
 graduated with a first in “Greats” in 1887, and 
 afterwards for a time lectured as assistant to M r. 
 R. L. Nettleship, his former tutor. He does not take 
 life very easily, and treats politics as seriously as he 
 treated philosophy. He is a devoted Home Ruler, is 
 very intimate with Irish members, and was at Fal- 
 carragh with the “stripling ” Harrison when ih: 
 latter got his wound and his first imprisonment. 
 In other respects he is a good Radical, and has 
 abilities which his friends believe will carry him 
 far. Altogether he promises to be a distinct 
 acquisition to the young Oxford Liberals in the 
 House of Commons. He is 28.

 Sir Bernhard Samuelson is an old parliamentary

 able army of commer- 
 cial and industrial 
 magnates who remain 
 true to Liberalism. 
 
 His chief piece of 
 work during his 
 twenty years of par- 
 liamentary life was 
 as chairman to the 
 Technical Education 
 Commission, and on 
 this subject he has 
 enthusiasm and know- 
 ledge which are sur- 
 passed by none. To 
 this he owes the baron- 
 etcy conferred on him 
 in 1884. He is an 
 ironmaster at Middles- 
 borough and a manufacturer of agricultural imple* 
 ments at Banbury, and had two sons Liberal M.P.’ 
 in the lastParliament. He was the son of a Liverpool 
 merchant, was educated privately, and is now 72.

 Mr. John Aird (born 1833) is a son of the founder 
 of the well-known firm of contractors which still bears 
 his name. Old Mr. 
 
 Aird was originally a 
 mason at Bromley (by 
 Bow), and “ made his 
 pile ” over the Berlin 
 water service and 
 South London drain- 
 age. The present Mr. 
 
 Aird has done some 
 big jobs too, among 
 which the Manchester 
 Ship Canal will be 
 counted. Mr. Aird is 
 married, and has both 
 a large family and a 
 fine collection of 
 modern _ pictures. 
 
 Among his master- 
 pieces is Mr. Alma 
 Tadema’s “ Roses of 
 Heliogabalus,” and he 
 himself gives some- 
 times feasts to his 
 artist friends which would not have disgraced a 
 Roman of the Empire. As a Dolitician, Mr. Aird’s 
 great exploit was a letter which he wrote to the 
 Times three or four years ago, suggesting a com - 
 promise upon Home Rule, and speaking as a 
 business man but he was speedily reminded that 
 his “business” in Parliament was to be a party 
 man, and nothing came of his proposal. He has 
 completely retrieved his character by the way in 
 which he has showered doles and benefactions on 
 his constituency.

 Lord Randolph (to use the current abbreviation) 
 enjoyed for twenty-four hours the distinction of 
 being the first member 
 to be elected to the 
 present Parliament. 
 But “ the first shall be 
 last and the last shall 
 be first” — a text which 
 at once comes to mind 
 in considering the rise 
 and fall of Lord Ran- 
 dolph. Six years aqo 
 he had distanced all his 
 colleagues among the 
 Fourth Party, and had 
 attained at an unusu- 
 ally early age in these 
 slow-rising days to the 
 proud position of 
 Leader of the House 
 of Commons. For a 
 time even after his 
 resignation he _ was 
 still a conspicuous 
 figure. His sudden 
 resignation at Christ- 
 mas, 1886, of the post of Chancellor of 
 the Exchequer and Leader of the House of 
 Commons was for many months the main 
 topic of political interest, and for some time you 
 could find people still ready to discuss whether it 
 was really those coaling stations that caused his 
 resignation, and not differences of opinion with 
 Lord Salisbury on Bulgaria and other affairs. 
 Lord Randolph’s subsequent visit to Russia, which 
 for weeks divided with the Crown Prince’s ill- 
 ness “the European Intelligence” of a dozen 
 capitals, was generally accepted as making for 
 the latter interpretation. But now Lord Randolph 
 comes and goes, and no one heeds him. “ Ha ! 
 ’tis well ; I am observed,” says Punch of him. If 
 this be so, it has been very ill with him of late. 
 Chough his expedition to Mashonaland and 
 his adventures with the lions excited con- 
 siderable remark. Into the secret of Lord 
 Randolph’s fall this is not the occasion to 
 enter. The secret of his rise is very simple ; he 
 knew exactly what time of day it was. He was 
 born politically under Mr. Disraeli’s star, and 
 learned at once what the era of democracy 
 means. As for the public at large _ there 
 are, he saw, only two sure ways of bringing 
 down the House :» one is to anpeal to the 
 higher moral sentiments, the other to use a great 
 many “ big, big D’s. ” Lord Randolph went in 
 for the big D’s, and his platform performances are 
 dictated by a constant desire to meet a demand 
 to “Give it ’em hot, Randy!” That his gifts of 
 strong language have not deserted him he showed 
 by the fierce, but very justifiable, manner in which 
 he turned upon his friends for “ the bloody 
 foetus, Pigott.” It is quite a mistake, 
 however, to suppose that there is nothing else in 
 Lord Randolph but strong language, or that he is 
 now done with. He does not exactly scorn 
 delights — amphitryonic or other — but he is quite 
 as capable as other puolic men of living 
 laborious, days. Besides his innate quickness to 
 seize points of controversy and appreciate the 
 significance of facts, he has none of that incapacity 
 for detail which was the weakness of his 
 great exemplar, Lord Beaconsfield. During the 
 seven months he was at the India Office in 
 1885-16 he left behind him a distinct impression 
 for the industry, decision, and grasp which go to 
 make a successful administrator. Of his work at 
 the .Treasury there was less opportunity of 
 forming a judgment; but some who were 
 acquainted with his Budget that was to have been 
 formed a high opinion of his boldness and grasp. 
 The fall of Lord Randolph was one of the most 
 dramatic episodes of the last Parliament. That he 
 may rise again in the present one must be reckoned 
 among its dramatic possibilities. Lord Randolph, 
 who was the third son of the late Duke of Marl- 
 borough, was educated at Eton and Oxford. He 
 entered Parliament in 1874, and is 45. Lady Ran- 
 dolph is a daughter of Mr. Jerome, of New 
 York.

 Kinloch is a name to conjure with in Perth- 
 shire, and the return of Sir John was a fore- 
 gone conclusion. The genial baronet, however, 
 belongs to a family 
 which was “ agin’ the 
 Government ” for many 
 generations. The third 
 baronet was tried for 
 treason in 1745, and 
 condemned to death 
 and to have his estates 
 and dignity fcrfeited. 
 But he escaped to 
 France, and was after- 
 wardspardoned, though 
 the baronetcy (subse- 
 quently revived) be- 
 came extinct. Sir 
 John’s grandfather, 
 Mr. George Kinloch, 
 who was afterwards 
 M.P. for Dundee, took 
 a prominent part in 
 the agitation which 
 resulted in the Reform Bill of 1832. Per- 
 sonally Sir John Kinloch is universally popular 
 and respected. He is not a good speaker, 
 but he is a good Undlord, and this at an election 
 in a Scotch rural constituency means much. He 
 was educated at Cheltenham and Trinity Col- 
 lege, Cambridge, and both at school and co'lege 
 was a successful athlete. He also captained the 
 Wimbledon team, and in 1869 was not far off the 
 Queen’s Prize. He is 43.

 If the present age be, as Lord Salisbury has 
 sometimes said, an African age, then Sir Donald 
 Currie is one of its tore- 
 most men. Certainly 
 he is an Imperial Fede- 
 rationist of the most 
 practical kind, for it is 
 to his foresight, enter- 
 prise, and business 
 ability that South 
 Africa and England 
 have been brought so 
 near together as to be 
 within the compass of 
 six weeks’ holiday. It 
 is as the founder of the 
 Castle Line that Sir 
 Donald is best known 
 to the public ; but he is 
 deeply interested in all 
 South African affairs, 
 and in most South 
 African ventures. His 
 company rendered great assistance to the Govern- 
 ment in its South African troubles in the supply 
 of steamships for the quick conveyance of troops 
 and stores ; and Sir Donald himself was made 
 a C.M.G. in 1877 for the part he took in the 
 settlement of the Diamond Fields dispute and 
 the Orange Free State boundary ; and a 
 K.C.M.G. in 1881 for assistance afforded to the 
 expedition for the relief of Ekowe. He has an 
 interest in the Union line, in the Cape Ar^us, in 
 De Beers— indeed, _we imagine that there is no 
 South African pie in which Sir Donald has not a 
 finger. He hrs, as is well known, on two or three 
 occasions materially contributed to the restoration 
 of Mr. Gladstone to health by taking the “ grand 
 old man ” on sea voyages on board of one of hi 
 
 swift and (/awLoid Randolph) luxurious steamers. 
 Sir Donald’s many acts of kindliness and generosity 
 to less distinguished persons are not so generally 
 known, for (unlike the persons in theScriptures) he 
 loves the dark when his deeds are good. Sir 
 Donald is the son of a Greenock merchant, and 
 went in early life to push his fortunes at Liver- 
 pool. There he was taken into the employment of 
 the Cunard Company, which he served for many 
 years with devotion and efficiency. He has repre- 
 sented Perthshire since 1880, and is 67.

 Mr. Alpheus Cleophas Morton is the second son 
 of the late Mr. Francis Morton, and was born in 
 March, 1840. He was 
 educated at private 
 schools, and is by pro- 
 fession an architect and 
 surveyor. He is a 
 member of the Court 
 of Common Council of 
 the City of London, of 
 the Clapham vestry, of 
 the vestry of St. Dun- 
 stan’s-in-the-West, and 
 of the Clapham burial 
 board, and has been a 
 member of the Wands-

 ham parish church, and 
 of the district church 
 of St. John, Clapham- 
 rise. He was a very 
 active promoter of the Clapham Reform Club, 
 which was opened last year in Clapham-road. 
 Mr. Morton, though a Common Councillor, is the 
 sworn enemy of all civic ’Arry and ’Arrieting at the 
 public expense. The Common Council, therefore, 
 does not love him ; we do not know if he loves his 
 colleagues, but certainly he chastens them. He is 
 on the Sewers, and has a very sharp nose for a job. 
 In the last Parliament he was by common consent 
 the greatest adept at emptying it which the House 
 could boast.

 On Sir Edward Clarke’s appointment as 
 Solicitor-General, he was re-elected without oppo- 
 sition (Aug. 11, 1886). 
 
 Sir E. Clarke, Lord Salisbury’s Solicitor- 
 General (appointed 1886), was born in 1841, 
 and educated at College House, Edmonton, 
 and at the City Commercial School. He was 
 “called” .(Lincoln’s Inn) 1864, and took silk 1880. 
 He owes his success to the “ Penge Mystery,” in 
 which he first made his name, and before which 
 he was better known as a frequenter of the 
 Temple Discussion Forum, and other similar 
 institutions in Fleet-street, where he was accounted 
 a good debater. The reputation made in the 
 “Penge Mystery ” was confirmed by the Pimlico 
 case. His speech for Mrs. Bartlett, which pro- 
 cured that lady’s acquittal, was one of the ablest 
 ever delivered at the Old Bailey. More recently

 He was also leading 
 counsel for the Har- 
 greaves in the “Great 
 Pearl Mystery,’’ and 
 for Lady Russell in her 
 unsuccessful suit 
 against her husband. 
 As an authority on. 
 law, he has not always 
 been happy, and all 
 politicians will remem- 
 ber his unlucky views 
 on vested rights in 
 public-house licences. 
 Sir Edward made his 
 political hit twelve: 
 years ago, for it was 
 on his gaining South- 
 wark in 1880 that Lord 
 Beaconsfield decided on 
 , . . . having a general elec- 
 
 tion, and after sitting a month, and making a good 
 speech on flogging in the army, he lost his seat at 
 the general election. He was shortly after returned 
 for Plymouth. He is known to various sections 
 of the public by reason of the various things he 
 has attacked— including Trinity College, London ; 
 Mr. Gedge, the solicitor ; and his own party.* 
 There can be no doubt that he would long ago 
 have been promoted had he been “better con- 
 nected.” He has been twice married, is a Free-

 A story is told of Mr. Goschen s school-days at 
 Rugby which illustrates a side of his character 
 that has been upper- 
 most of late. He was- 
 being bullied or chaffed 
 about his Jewish de- . 
 scent, and promptly 
 settled the matter by 
 knocking his opponent 
 down. It is in the 
 character of chief 
 slogger on the Tory 
 side that he has been 
 best known since the 
 Home Rule agitation 
 arose to be the making 
 or rather the renovat- 
 ing of him. It was a 
 new discovery that Mr. 
 Goschen was cne of 
 Rt. Hon. J. G. Goschen. the most effective of 
 platform speakers. He 
 used to be thought too cold and critical to impress- 
 the minds or win the sympathies of a great 
 popular assembly. The violence of vituperation, 
 the wealth of martial metaph r, and warmth of 
 feeling which he has displayed in this role now for 
 six years was a revelation to everybody, himself 
 not excluded. His success as an orator is .11 the 
 more remarkable because it has been achieved in 
 the face of great physical disadvantages — a husky 
 voice, an awkward manner, and a shortness of 
 sight so distressing as to make the use of any notes 
 whatsoever practically impossible. But this is 
 not the only field in which he has triumphed o\er 
 what might have seemed fatal defects. When Mr. 
 Goschen was made First Lord of the Admiralty 
 a good many jokes were levelled at the supposed 
 incongruity of placing a man of short sight 
 and sedentary habits at the head of one of the 
 fighting services ; but he soon turned out that the 
 new First Lord was as much in sympathy with the 
 officers of the navy as he was at home in the ad- 
 ministrative work of his departments. His know- 
 ledge of business and finance is an accident of his 
 experience as a partner in the important firm of 
 Fruhling and Goschen. It is said by his detractors 
 that his finance is petty and tricky ; but the 
 fact remains that he carrie i out the great operation 
 of the conversion of the debt with ease and success. 
 No less valuable than his financial training was the 
 love of culture which also he derived from his 
 father. Of German origin, Mr. Goschen has 
 indeed a thoroughly German faith in culture ; he 
 is an enthusiast for education, t-nd the University 
 Extension Movement, though the best known, is 
 
107 
 
 by no means hisonly cont *ibut;o:i to popular culture. 
 George Joachim Goschen (Rugby and Oriel, an

 General and Chancellor of the Duchy 1865-65,

 Mr. Thomas Henry Bolton is the “ strong-backed 
 Radical” who represented this constituency in the 
 short Parliament 
 of 1885-6, and was 
 re-elected at the 
 end of the last 
 one. He has an 
 excellent record in 
 Parliament. He 
 was instrumental 
 in imposing upon 
 the Central Lon- 
 don Rail way Com- 
 pany an obligation 
 to run twelve 
 workmen’s trains 
 at penny fares the 
 whole distance of 
 six miles. He car- 
 ried an instruction 
 to a Committee to 
 consider whether 
 the Midland Rail- Mr. T. H. Bolton. 
 way Company 
 
 should be required to construct a viaduct acres? 
 their works and yard at Kentish town. The 
 Committee did not give effect to this instruction, 
 but Mr. Bolton promises to press the matter. He 
 excited some . agreeable surprise by advocating 
 throughout his recent canvass “a sympathetic 
 treatment of the claims of Labour.” He gained 
 a boon for his constituents in the erection 
 of a bridge over the railway — a short cut to 
 Parliament-hill. He ha also served on the local 
 
 vestry, and his knowledge of land values is said to 
 have been extensive and peculiar. But his hobby 
 is tithes, and he likes playing the local magnate at 
 his charming place in the country. By profession 
 he is a solicitor, with a large theatrical connection. 
 Miss Fortescue, it may be remembered, leaned 
 upon his arm (professionally) in her famous breach 
 of promise case. He was born in 1841, and was 
 educated privately.

 Sir Julian Goldsmid, Bart., began his connection 
 with St. Pancras thirty-six years ago, by being 
 educated at the Univer- 
 sity College in Gower- 
 street, of which institu- 
 tion his grandfather was 
 one of the principal 
 founders, and of which 
 he himself is a Fellow 
 and treasurer. After 
 a brilliant University 
 career he was called to 
 the Bar, and went the 
 Oxford Circuit but aban- 
 doned the Bar on the 
 death of his father in 
 1866. He sat for Honi- 
 ton from March, 1866, 
 until 1868. At the 
 general election in 1868 
 Sir Julian Goldsmid. he unsuccessfully con- 
 tested Mid Surrey. 
 He was, however, elected in 1870 for Rochester, 
 for which he sat till 1880. His father left him a 
 fortune, which he applied himself to increase. He 
 was chairman of the Submarine Telegraph Com- 
 pany prior to its dissolution, is chairman of the 
 Imperial and Continental Gas Association, and is a 
 director of the London, Brighton, and South 
 Coast Railway. Like so many rich Jews, Sir 
 Julian is very charitable ; and doubtless it was only 
 want of tact on the part of his local biographer 
 which thought it necessary to state that Sir 
 Julian’s donations to hospitals, &c., in St. Pancras 
 “ began before he ever thought of standing for the 
 borough.” Sir Julian is said to be very fond of 
 travelling, and when a young man was an active 
 member of the Alpine Club. He is an accom- 
 plished linguist, and has made a special study of 
 Egyptian affairs. The recent death of Lady Gold- 
 smid, who was the mother of eight daughters, 
 evoked much sympathy for Sir Julian. He is 54.

 It is amusing that Sir Harry Hoyle Howorth

 what is more, declined

 Cojonel Howard Vincent is before all things a 
 martial man, and, as becomes a colleague of Mr. 
 Ashmead - Bart- 
 lett, exuberantly 
 patriotic. His 
 chief triumphs in 
 the late Parlia- 
 ment were the 
 capture of the 
 Tory caucus fir 
 “ Fair trade ” and 
 the conversion of 
 the Prime Mini- 
 s'er. “Fairtrade,’ 
 by the way, has 
 now become the 
 United Empire 
 Trade League, 
 of which Colonel 
 Howard Vincent 
 is the pres : d ng 
 genius. In this 
 last capacity he 
 has bten feted 
 by Colonial Pro- 
 tectionists, who 
 apparently ima- 
 gined him to be a 
 person of great 
 consequence in 
 this country. 
 
 Mr.Dibbs, ex-Prime Minister of New South Wales, 
 has publicly confessed that he owed his conversion 
 to a Protectionist policy to Colonel Howaid 
 Vincent — a confession which is hardly calculated 
 to raise one’s opinion of the intellectual stamina of 
 colonial statesmen. Perhaps we shall yet hear that 
 Mr. McKinley owed his inspiration to the same 
 source. Colonel Vincent distinguished himself in 
 the late election by dating l.is election address 
 from the House of Commons and sending it out in 
 the Royal style as “ On her Majesty’s Service.’’ 
 He is. a C.B., ar.d was Directar of Criminal 
 Investigations at Scotland-yard from 1378 to 1884. 
 He was educated at Westminster and Sandhurst,

 Fusiliers and fcr two in the Terkshire Militia* 
 before going to the Bar (Inner Temple). He

 teers, so that he is naturally a good friend 
 io the Volunteers in Parliament. He married

 Mr. Anthony John Mundella, Education Minister 
 during Mr. Gladstone’s 1880 Government, and Pre- 
 sident of the Board of Trade in the 1885 one, 
 understands the busi- 
 ness of both depart- 
 ments at first hand, 
 for he has himself 
 risen from the ranks, 
 having been appren- 
 ticed in a hosiery 
 establishment at 
 Leicester. Lie was 
 subsequently, until his 
 retirement irom Busi- 
 ness now many vears 
 ato, a manufacturer 
 at Nottingham, of 
 which town he has 
 been sheriff, aider- 
 man, and president 
 of the Chamber of 
 Commerce. He is 
 a trifle overbearing, 
 people say, but take him all round there has never 
 been a better Vice-President of the Council. He 
 has also done excellent service to hi-; country on 
 boards of arbitration. In recognition of his various 
 services to education and otherwise he was elected 
 F.R.S., a high distinction for a politician. 
 His name is such a household word in Boaid 
 Schools that a sixth standard child being exa- 
 mined in physiology’ is said to have described a 
 ceitain nerve as the Mundella oblongata. Mr. 
 
Mundella's first appearance on any platform is 
 chronicled in T. Coopers Autobiography: — “1 
 had been appealing one evening to the patriotic 
 feelings of young Englishmen, when a hand- 
 some young man sprang upon our little platform 
 (the incident took place at Leicester) and declared 
 himself on the people’s side, and desired to be 
 enrolled as a Chartist. He did not belong to the 
 poorest ranks ; and it was the consciousness that 
 he was acting in the spirit of self-sacrifice, as well 
 as his fervid eloquence, that caused the thrilling 
 cheer from the ranks of working men. He could 
 not have been more than fifteen.” There are some 
 who class him now with the ‘“old gang.” He is 67.

 Ashmead-Bartlett’s appointment to be Civil Lord 
 of the Admiralty he was re-elected without opposi- 
 tion (August 11, 1886). 
 
 Mr. Ellis A. Bartlett is the son of a Dissenting 
 minister at Plymouth, New England, and has all 
 the _ fiery patriotism 
 that is peculiarto Anglo- 
 Americans and Anglo- 
 Israelites. He disputes 
 with certainly not more 
 than one other gentle- 
 man the honour of being 
 the most blatant and 
 vacuous memher of the 
 House. But he is the 
 darling of Tory plat- 
 forms in the provinces. 
 
 “ Lord Randolph, if 
 possible, if not Ashmead 
 Bartlett,” used to be 
 the standing order from 
 provincial meetings 
 But two of a trade never 
 agree, and Mr. Bartlett 
 would not for the world 
 have you suppose that he 
 
 was ever a follower of Lord Randolph. The fact, 
 we believe, is correct, but it has been doubted 
 whether any unwillingness on |Mi. Bartlett’s part 
 was the cause of his exclusion from the Fourth 
 party. In reward for his services on the platform, 
 he was appointed Civil Lord of the Admiralty in 
 1885, and reappointed in 1886. He is believed 
 to consider hirmelf the greatest naval com- 
 mander since Nelson, and in his election 
 address the other day expressly honoured that 
 national hero by coupling his name with 
 his own. He is very generally known as the 
 “hon. and gallant member,” in consequence 
 of the speech on the Home Rule Bill, in 
 which he convulsed the House by describing 
 himself as “ a member of a militia regiment — of 
 fighting men, who would know the reason why 
 before the cause of loyalty and order went down 
 in Ireland.” After this speech he has been more 
 or less muzzled. Indeed, his promotion to office is 
 believed to have been the price paid by his party 
 for his silence in the House, who have labelled 
 him “for provincial use” only. The “gallant 
 member ” has thus had time during the last few 
 years to dtvote himself to other and no doubt 
 more agreeable diversions. For some time Mr. 
 Bartlett was connected with a Jingo journal called 
 England. He was educated at St. Mary Hall, 
 Oxford, commonly called “ Skimmery,” and was 
 for some time an inspector of schools. He is 43,

 Mr. Charles Beil y Stuart Wortley, Under- 
 Secretary of State for the Home Department in 
 
 both of Lord Salisbury’ 
 called to the Bar in 
 18/6, and was doing a 
 good practice on the 
 North - Eastern circuit 
 when he was first elected 
 for Sheffield in 1880. 
 As Under-Secretary he 
 is bd'eved to do his 
 routine work well, but 
 in the House he t . . 
 made no particular mark 
 either one way or the 
 other. He has pleasant 
 manners, and under- 
 stands the value of 
 smooth answers. In 
 Sheffield, however, 
 where the local poli- 
 ticians “load the lan- 
 
 j Administrations, was 
 
 Wortley. 
 
 guage,” Mr. Wortley goes in with the worst o' 
 them. He was educated at Rugby, whence he 
 went_ with an exhibition to Balliol. He was 
 nnrried in 1880, but was soon left a widowe , and 
 subsequently married a daughter of Sir John 
 Millais. His own e der brother is known as an 
 artist, and one at least of his sisters has exhibited 
 at the Academy. His own artistic bent is for 
 music, and as an amateur he is said to have few 
 rivals on the piano. He is 41.

 Mr. William Randell Cremer has been before 
 the p lblic as a representative of working-class 
 feeling for the past quarter of a century. A Hants 
 carpenter — the son of 
 a herald-painter at 
 Fareham — he came up 
 to London shortly after 
 he had finished his ap- 
 prenticeship. He made 
 his way. to the front 
 ameng his fellow-work- 
 men, along with Mr. 
 
 Gecrge Howell, cn the 
 occurrence of the great 
 strike and lock-out in 
 the London building 
 trades in 1859-60, when 
 the Nine Hoirs day 
 was unsuccessfully de- 
 manded, and he is 
 described as the founder 
 of the Amalgamated I 
 Society of Carpenters i Mr. W. R. Cremer. 
 and Joiners. His early 
 
 activities as Trades Union orginizer, Fran- 
 chise-Reform agitator, and Secretary of the 
 London Branch of the “International” in its 
 palmy days are still gratefully remembered to his 
 credit in working-class communities. In these 
 latter days, as all the world knows, he has natu- 
 rally succeeded to the mantle of Henry Richard 
 as the Parliamentary Apostle of Peace. As 
 Secretary of the Workmen’s Peace Association he 
 has organized several successful demonstra ions of 
 an influential character, in France and Italy, in sup- 
 port of the objects of the associatio i. A few years 
 ago, too, he succeeded in getting the signatures of 
 233 members of the House of Commons to a 
 memorial to President Cleveland in favour of a 
 policy of arbitration in case of any future diffi- 
 culty between England and the United States; 
 the Foreign Relations Committee, before whom the 
 memorial was laid, fell in with the desire expressed 
 in it and made a le commendation accordingly 
 to the Senate. On account of his efforts in 
 ihe cause of peace Mr. Cremer in 1890 had con- 
 ferred upon him the Cross of the Legion of 
 Honour by the President of the French Republic. 
 Mr. Cremer was beaten at Warwick in 1868 and 
 1874, and has sat for Haggerston since 1874. 
 To an audience of London artizansheis “ Good 
 Old Cremer” : he is 64. His enemies good- 
 naturedly sav that his chief grievance against 
 Lord Salisbury’s Government was its lack of wars, 
 either great or small.

 Mr. James St.tart, who unsuccessfully coniested 
 Cambridge. University in 1882, and was elected for 
 Hackney (in succession to 
 Mr. Fawcett) in 1884, is 
 the living embodiment of 
 the union between deno- 
 craty and culture. He 
 was born 49 jeas age, 'f ^ 
 
 and educated in Scotland. " 1 
 
 From St. Andre vs he 
 went to Cambridge (where 
 he was elected a f ellow of 
 Trinity in 1867, and made 
 Professor of Melanies in 
 1875) ; and, taking his 
 Scotch experience with 
 him, began to develop 
 the system of Univer- 
 sity extension which aims Alderman Stuart. 
 at bring ng the results 
 
 cf University education to the very doors of 
 the people. Professor Stuart is a genuine 
 “working man’s friend,” ar.d if you want to find 
 out a’.l about him, you must ask not only in the 
 cottages of Cambridge, but in the miners’ cottages 
 in Northumberl lr d. “ Stuart s workshop” w a . one 
 of the sights of Cambridge, and workingmen when 
 they visited the . University have often been con- 
 siderably astonished at seeing undergraduates 
 hard at werk under the Professor’s guidance in 
 the construction of engines and instruments. In 
 politics he is one of Mr. Gladstone’s most attached 
 and devoted admirers, and cn more than one 
 occasion has l een his prompter both on the Irish 
 question and other matteis. Indeed he did his 
 chief an unintentional bad turn by leading him 
 astray cn what is known as the Hopping incident. 
 But Mr.. Stuart has nut confined himself to Impe- 
 rial politics. He was one of the first to trk g 
 forward the London Programme, and believes 
 strongly in combining Home Rule for Ireland with 
 Home Rule for London. The County Council recog- 
 nized his zeal in this cause by twice electing him an 
 [alderman, but he has hardly made the mark that 
 was expected of him either in the Council or ns 
 spokesman for the Council in the Commons. Not 
 the least important matter in his record during the 
 last six ye rs is that he was victor in the 
 battle for the Star , of which paper he is the 
 political ed tor. He has now resigned his pro- 
 fessorsh’p. is married to a daughter of Mr. Colman, 
 M.P., and is supposed to be not entirely averse 
 from the arts of the wirepuller.

 from their ^eyes ; it is certain that they voted

 Mr. J. C. Stevenson is by birth a Glasgow man, 
 educated at the High School and University of 
 Glasgow, but by com- 
 mercial connection and 
 public service a Tyne- 
 sider. His introduc- 
 tion to Tyneside was 
 due to the establish- 
 ment of chemical works 
 at Jarrow about half a 
 century ago by his 
 father ; for many years 
 this was a flourishing 
 business, bat recent 
 changes in the chemi- 
 cal world have ad- 
 versely affected the 
 Tyneside manufac- 
 turer. He is also 
 director of the Tharsis 
 Sulphur and Copper 
 Co. Mr. Stevenson 
 was a pioneer of the 
 movement which re- 
 sulted in the wonderful work in the way of river 
 improvements achieved by the River Tyne Com- 
 
 mission, and for the past ten years he has been the 
 chairman of the Commission. Ages ago he 
 established an evening journal at South Shields — 
 the Shields Gazette — the oldest evening paper in 
 the country ; and he has always been closely 
 identified with all the leading religious and social 
 reform movements in the district. He has also 
 played at volunteering. He is a strict Presby- 
 terian — he married a daughter of the late Dr. 
 James Anderson of Morpeth — and he has acted as 
 the leader of the Sunday Closing Movement. He 
 is neither sparkling nor offensive, but he is 
 estimable. He is 67, and has sat in Parliament for 
 South Shields since 1868.

 Tanning, in fact, runs in his family, as his father 
 began life at Exeter as a journeyman tanner. Mr. 
 Barrow goes for the whole Radical programme 
 — Newcastle and something more — and he believes 
 strongly in Home Rule for London. He is 58, a

 Since then he has taken 
 a prominent part in the 
 Liberal organization ot 
 London, and has put his 
 preachings into practice 
 — with great success —at 
 Southwark. He is a 
 member of a firm of 
 wholesale stationers, 
 whose factory is in that 
 borough, but he has not 
 until recently taken any 
 active part in local poli- 
 tics. Southwark is famous 
 among other things for 
 its wheelwrights, and Mr. 
 Causton has naturally 
 earned popularity among 
 them by his activity in op- 
 position to Mr. Goschen’s 
 van and wheel tax. It 
 is said that he has ambitions towards the 
 Treasury bench, which may or may not be grati- 
 fied. Although his wife is a daughter of the 
 la e Recorder of London, he is no friend of the 
 Corporation, and fought his election on the 
 double cry of Home Rule for Ireland — and Lon-

 A together he is re- 
 garded as a man who 
 rises to an emergency 
 and is thought to have 
 an important future 
 before him. He is 56, 
 but looks much yourger 
 than his years, and 
 generally speaking 
 strikes one as a quiet, capable, and efficient man, 
 vith a gocd deal of the -Scot .n his composition. 
 He has a long official record, having been Finan- 
 cial Secretary to the War Office 1871-4 and 1880-2. 
 During the next two years he was Secretary 
 to the Admiralty, and in 1884 he succeeded Sir 
 George Trevelyan as Chief Secretary for Ireland 
 — a position which he filled ably and i nobtrusively 
 until the fall of the Gladstone Minis ry in 1885. 
 
 In the short Government of 1886 he was Secretary 
 for War, but at that time hardly seemed to justify 
 his quick promotion. He was educated at Glas- 
 gow University and Trinity, Cambridge.

 and on the e\e ot the poll he offered, in case of 
 defeat, to fight a fifth time, if thought desirable. 
 Pluck always tells, especially in a northern con- 
 stituency. A fr endly biographer says of Mr. 
 Wrightson : — “ He is a Conservative, but he is 
 neither rash ncr reactionary ; ” and there is good 
 reason to believe that he is widely esteemed in 
 Stockton and Middlesbrough. He is 53.

 some time as Mr. 
 
 Gladstone’s private 
 secretary, and as a 
 Junior Liberal Whip. 
 
 He was also one of the

 pany Mr. Gladstone to 
 Norway. His claims 
 upon the electors of Hon.G. Leveson-Gower 
 Stoke were personal as 
 well as political, for he 
 
 is corsin to Lord Granville, who owns mines in 
 the county, and son of the Mr. Leveson-Gower 
 who sat for Stoke some 35 years ago. He was 
 born in 1858, was educated at Eton and Balliol.

 The Hon. William Frederick Danvers Smith,

 Commons, is one of the 
 youngest members of 
 the House, being only 
 24. He was at Eton 
 and New College, Ox- 
 ford (where he was 
 known as an excellent 
 oar), and “ finished ” his 
 education by a tour 
 round the world. Since 
 1890, he has been a 
 partner in the great firm 
 of W. H. Smith and 
 Son. He has an agree-' 
 able pesence, is a fair 
 speaker, and is popular 
 with all in his employ. 
 He is a Tory, but not of 
 the fossilized kind. As 
 his father began a 
 Liberal and ended a 
 Tory, so let us hope 
 that the son, having 
 Hon. W. F. D. Smith, begun a Tory, will end 
 a Liberal.

 Mr. F. S. Stevenson was one of the very young 
 Oxford men who came almost straight from the 
 “ schools ” to the House 
 in 1885. He is a first- 
 class man (Harrow and 
 Balliol), and is out- 
 wardly much more of 
 the student than the 
 man of affairs, being 
 apparently of a shy and 
 retiring disposition. He 
 has spoken moderately 
 often, and his speeches 
 contain a great deal of 
 solid matter, but his 
 manner suggests that he 
 is bracing himself to a 
 disagreeable task, and 
 his intonation is rather 
 too like that of a don 
 addressing a Common 
 Room. But he burrows 
 for information, has real knowledge of rural ques- 
 tions, and much more sympathy with Radical 
 politics than a casual observer would think possible. 
 His father was Sir W. Stevenson, who was 
 Governor of the Mauritius some twenty years ago, 
 and his mother also is no mean politician. He 
 himself is 30.

 Mr. Samuel Storey, who is the son ot a Durham 
 farmer, and is forty-eight, long took the leading 
 part in the municipal 
 affairs of Sunderland, 
 of which he has been 
 three times mayor ; 
 in fact he was, and is, 
 the Chamberlain of the 
 great borough tt the 
 mouth of the Wear. 
 But last year he 
 resigned his connection 
 with the Corporation 
 because the Mayor 
 and Town Councillors 
 determined to signalize 
 the removal of the 
 municipal headquarters 
 to a new Town Hall by 
 the wearing of robes. 
 This incident furnishes 
 a keynote to the 
 character of Mr. Storey., 
 who prides himself upon 
 the genuineness of his 
 Radicalism and the sturdiness of his inde- 
 pendence. He has distinguished himself by his 
 opposition to Royal grants, and has reoeatedly 
 spoken and voted in opposition to the prevailing 
 views of his party. Beginning life as a school- 
 master, educated in the Church of England 
 Training College at Durham, Mr. Storey soon 
 betook himself to a varied and successful business 
 career in Sunderland, and has in later years 
 emerged in the character of a newspaper manager 
 and proprietor. Mr. Storey at one time had 
 unique possibilities before him, alike as politician 
 and speculator, as the director of a newspaper 
 ring, with the Echo as a centre, for which lylr. 
 Andrew C arnegie, the Scotch-American millionaire, 
 stood principal sponsor; since the break up of 
 that scheme, from various causes, Mr. Storey’s 
 newspaper interests have been confined to Sun- 
 derland, Hartlepool, and Portsmouth. A sharp 
 hand at a business bargain , Mr. Storey is 
 also a keen, skilful, expert, and extra- 
 ordinarily successful electioneerer — is practically 
 the political “boss” of the greater part of 
 Durham county — in brief, quite the Schnadhorst 
 of the North. The hon. member has been always 
 an ardent supporter of labour and co-operative 
 movements; albeit he is a strong opponent 
 of the legislative eight-hour-day proposal. 
 Through his interposition last year, in the 
 interests of pitmen, in a quarrel between 
 the Marquis of Londonderry and his miners, a 
 section of whom was evicted from their homes, he 
 found himself in the dock on a charge of perjury ; 
 a series of trials, which evoked intense feeling in 
 Durham county followed, with the result that on 
 the personal charge the hon. member obtained a 
 triumphant acquittal. Mr. Labouchere may submit 
 to don the Windsor plush ; but Mr. Storey (pro- 
 vided, of course, he is givtn the chance) will 
 always reply, Never, Never, Never ! He is a

 Holm Lea Sunderland. Devonshire and N.L.C. 
 Mr. Edward Temperley Gourley won social 
 position in his native town of Sunderland solely 
 by his success in ship- 
 ping and its adjuncts. 
 He opened his election- 
 eering experience in 
 rather a novel way, by 
 offering prizes for 
 speeches on the Permis- 
 sive Bill. He has been 
 thrice mayor of Sunder- 
 land, and has played at 
 volunteering (which 
 gave him an introduction 
 to the King of the Bel- 
 gians, on the occasion 
 of the volunteer visits 
 to Brussels); but, al- 
 though he has “done” 
 India, the United States, 
 and Egypt, after the 
 flying tourist fashion, 
 and has in the House 
 delivered carefully-pre- 
 pared speeches, with 
 painful effect upon his hearers, mainly on 
 subjects which concern the Admiralty, Mr. 
 Gourley’s chief claim to parliamentary dis- 
 tinction is that it was he who was on his feet when 
 the House of Commons was startled by the first 
 dynamite explosion at the Local Government Board 
 Offices. Mr. Gourley sometimes asks useful ques- 
 tions, and he has been known co address inquiries 
 to Mr. Gladstone. He is 64, and a bachelor.

 The Hon. William st. John Fremantle 
 Brodrick (Eton and Balliol, M.A. 1882) is the 
 eldest son of Viscount 
 Middleton. He is 36, 
 but looks a good deal 
 more, for he is one of 
 those young men who 
 carry weight. So grave, 
 indeed, was his de- 
 meanour, even at Ox- 
 ford, that he used some- 
 times to be called 
 “ Prime Minister Brod- 
 rick,” and his manner 
 as President of the 
 Union would have done 
 dignity to any House 
 in the world. He step- 
 ped straight from his 
 presidential chair to a 
 seat in Parliament (re- 
 turned for West Sur- 
 rey in 1880), where 
 he at once found himself at home. He is 
 a very industrious man (a quality to which 
 he owed a second class in Modern History at 
 Oxford), and made a position for himself in the 
 House by being one of the few members thereof 
 who took the trouble to master the technicalities 
 of the Irish Land Bill. He has been highly com- 
 plimented by Mr. Gladstone, who was naturally 
 touched at so unwonted a show of interest in the 
 details of his scheme. He is now Financial 
 Secretary to the War Office, and is regarded as 
 one of the promising young men on the Tory 
 side. He is constantly cut to the quick by Mr. 
 Labouchere’s levity, and holds a special brief for 
 the House of Lords. During the late Parliament 
 he especially distinguished himself by his vigorous 
 adoption of Pigottism. He is reported to have 
 said concerning the forged letter that “ he would 
 not mince matters, but would call it Mr. Parnell’s 
 letter,” and it is not reported that he ever made 
 suitable apology. He is married to a daughter of 
 Lord Wemyss, and is a nephew of Mr. George 
 Brodrick, the Warden of Merton.

 Sir Richard Temple, Bart., left the Evesham 
 Division, which he represented from 1885, to 
 fight Kingston, and 
 hasbeen successful. No 
 member enters Parlia- 
 ment with more de- 
 corations than Sir 
 Richard, for he is a 
 K.C.S.I., G.C.S.I., 
 
 C.I.E., D.C.L., and 
 how much more beside 
 we do not know. He 
 is an ex-Governor of 
 Bombay, and it is for 
 his tenure of .that office 
 (1874-1880) that he is 
 best known, and for 
 his work in the two 
 famine years of 1874 
 and 1877. “ It’s an 
 
 ill wind,” &c., and 
 the famine gave him 
 his baronetcy ; he had 
 been knighted during his “residence” at Hydera- 
 bad. bir Richard was Finance Minister of India 
 under Lord Lawrence, to whom he had previously 
 been private secretary in the Punjab. Since his 
 return from India he has travelled in Russia, 
 Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Palestine, Spain, Norway, 
 Canada, and the United States (where he has 
 seen two general elections). Sir Richard has further 
 found time to write a couple of books on his 
 Indian experiences, to serve on the Council of the 
 Royal Geographical Society and the British Asso- 
 ciation, to deliver a presidential address at the 
 Social Science Congress, and to sit on the London 
 School Board, of which he has been Vice- 
 Chairman, and in the deliberations of which he 
 still takes an active interest. To all these qualifi- 
 cations should be added the fact that Sir Richard 
 claims kinship with the famous Sir William 
 Temple and with Lord Palmerston. He is a 
 very regular and conspicuous figure in the House. 
 His grotesque figure and quaint attitudes have 
 been familiarized to the public eye by the unspar- 
 ing pencils of Mr. Furniss and Mr. Gould He

 The Hon. Alfred Erskine Gathorne-Hardy took 
 a first class in law and modern history at 
 Oxford, where he went 
 to Balliol, after leaving 
 Eton. His style of 
 speech greatly resem- 
 bles that of his father, 
 
 Lord Cranbrook ; it 
 shows, that is, much

 called to the bar, and 
 has for some years been 
 junior counsel to the 
 Chief Commissioner of 
 Works, and counsel to 
 the Commissioners of

 returned to Parliament 
 for West Sussex There 
 he served his class and 
 his party well— so well 
 that Mr. Disraeli made 
 him a baronet in 1875. 
 
 He belongs to the type 
 of active county mem- 
 bers through whom 
 the British agriculturist 
 makes his annual ap- 
 peals for the merciful 
 consideration of the 
 country. He is an 
 old-fashioned gentle-

 the Times forgeries. 
 
 He was thought to be 
 an' old Tory, but has 
 made no difficulty about voting with the ne

 Vice-Admiral Edward Field is describel by a 
 Tory admirer as “a fine old sea-dog— true blue in 
 professicn and politics.” He was born in 1830, 
 and educated at Royal Naval College, Portsmouth ; 
 entered Navy 1845, lieutenant 1851 ; commander 
 1859, and captahi 1869 ; retired 1876 ; rear-admiral 
 1886; D.L. and J-P. for Hunts. The gallant 
 member believes in religion, but not “ sahation ” 
 as supplied by the Booth brazen band ; and 
 in the recent discussions in the House over the 
 Eastl ourne Improvement Act Amendment Bill 
 marshaled his arguments and facts with a skill 
 
 that wculd have done cred’t to a professiona 
 Parliamentarian. “1 don’t care a straw,” said 
 the Admiral, “about 
 the ancient history of 
 this clause. There it 
 is, the law of the land. 
 
 'I hat is enough for a 
 layman, but apparently 
 it is not enough for 
 a lawyer.” And then 
 he quoted the Solici- 
 tor-General’s letter to 
 General Booth, ad- 
 vising “active protest,” 
 which he said “ might 
 mean anything from 
 arguments to black- 
 thorns. It's a good 
 thing you didn’t give 
 that advice in Ire- 
 land,” and the Irishmen cheered h’m to the 
 echo. ‘ However,” he proceeded, “ Q.C. in 
 naval circles means ‘ queercustomer,’ so wemustex- 
 pect vagaries, ’’and soon. Thegallant memberwas, 
 of course, worsted in the fight, but his plucky and 
 good-natured defence of his constituents was 
 believed to have added to his popularity in East- 
 bourne, although it does not seem to. have in- 
 creased his majority in the division. He 
 served on the War Office Committee on Gun 
 Cotton and Explosives as naval member from 1870 
 to 1873. Is always frank, and is liked in the 
 House for the homely common sense of the salt 
 which he usually displays.

 South-west Sussex includes Goodwood, and the

 1832. When in 1888 
 the Earl of. March 
 announced his intention 
 of resigning in favour 
 of his younger brother. 
 
 Lord Walter Gordon 
 Lennox (then one of 
 the Prime Minister’s 
 secretaries) a new elec- 
 tion was held for 
 form’s sake, but it 
 was a foregone conclu- 
 sion, and the youthful 
 lord was allowed to 
 walk over. The Liberals 
 did well, however, to 
 fight it now, and if they 
 
 keep pegging away they may one day be successful. 
 Lord Walter Charles Gordon Lennox is the 
 youngest son cf the duke, and is only 27. Not 
 only has he been a secretary of the Premier, but 
 was made Treasurer of her Majesty’s Household 
 and a Privy Councillor in 1891, so soon does merit 
 manifest itself among the scions of the nobility.

 which the less said the better , and only the other

 “The Speaker’s A B C,” containing cruelly 
 minute instructions upon the art of after-dinner

 Mr. Brookfield will have much to answer for. He

 done much good work at Toynbee Hall, and is 
 held in the warmest regard and respect by all who 
 know him. He might be called a philosophical 
 Radical, and could no doubt fetch reasons from 
 Hegel to justify his views. But his j: hilosophy 
 is not of the old Radical type, and leads him 
 to conclusions the very reverse of the laisser- 
 faire school. Indeed, his programme, as 
 set forth in his election address, is among the 
 most advanced. He is for eight hours, payment 
 of members, a second ballot, shorter parliaments, 
 nationalization of land, and universal pensions in 
 o’d age, parish councils, disestablishment of the 
 Church, and secondary education by appropriation 
 of City endowments. “ I believe,” he says, “ that 
 an exnaustive examination of the conditions under 
 which we produce and distribute our wealth would 
 prove that our neglect, as members of the com- 
 
 munity, of moral considerations has hindered 
 rather than promoted our growth.” He is 33, was 
 educated at Glasgow High School, the Universi- 
 ties of Glasgow and Edinburgh, and is married.

 — his “ Handbook to Political Questions of the 
 Day ” being as useful to people who have 
 no time to think — a goodly multitude in these 
 hurried times — as Liebig’s extract to those who 
 have little time to eat. He has since published 
 an important work on the History of our National 
 Finance. In addition to all this, Mr. Buxton 
 has done excellent work on the London School 
 Board ; for like all the Buxtons he is sincerely 
 interested in social reform. He was first elected 
 to the Board in 1876, when he was only 23, and 
 although he is no longer a member he is Chair- 
 man of the Representative Committee of Mana- 
 gers and Vice-Chairman of the Penny Dinners 
 Council. He was educated at Trinity, Cambridge, 
 and at Clifton, under the strenuous Dr. Percival. 
 He has a charming wife — a daughter of Sir John 
 Lubbock, who is a first-rate electicneerer. Her 
 husband is 31.

 To Mr. Benn belongs the proud distinction of 
 having achieved the “chucking” of a Cabinet 
 Minister in the elec- 
 tions of 1892. His 
 victory is one first 
 for hard work — for 
 Mr. Benn established 
 himself in St. George’s 
 a year or two ago and 
 set himself in systematic 
 fashion to win the con- 
 stituency and secondly 
 for the County Council 
 — of which body Mr. 
 Benn is one of the most 
 popular and important 
 members, being the 
 Whip of the Progressive 
 party. Lord Rosebery, 
 it may be added, went 
 down to St. George’s 
 specially to support 
 Mr. Benn’s candidature. 
 Personally Mr. Benn is cheery, genial, con- 
 ciliatory, and indefatigable, and what more 
 can be expected of a Whip? But he is 
 also very keen on Council work, and as 
 th** “Amateur Dosser” for the Daily Graphic 
 took a leading part in establish’ng the first 
 municipal lodging-house in London. Mr. Benn 
 is a journalist, anu the profession must agree with 
 him, for, though he is 41, he hardly looks 30 
 He is editor and proprietor of the Cabinet Maker 
 and A rt Furnisher , and an apostle of the arts 
 and crafts movement. He went through the

 the same poor opinion as Mr. Furniss, and 
 now exercises his skill as an artist-lec-

 turer in “ lightning-sketches ” at institutions 
 throughout the country. Mr. Benn is the son 
 of a Congregational minister, and inherits 
 all the Nonconformits sympathies with popular 
 movements. He is a frequent speaker at temper- 
 ance meetings, and a strong supporter of local 
 option. The Rev. William Cuff reckons Mr. Benn 
 one of his most devoted friends in all the good 
 work with which the name of Shoreditch’s popular 
 pastor is connected. The architect of his own 
 fortunes, Mr. Benn was in his youth an office boy 
 in the City, and was once sternly reproved by Lord 
 Mayor Cotton for sketching Mincing-lane cele- 
 brities on trade catalogues.

 Mr. Samuel Montagu is a great and a rich man 
 in Israel. Long before he took to politics he had 
 done good work with 
 the Jewish Board of 
 Guardians, and he is 
 now a member of the 
 Council of the United 
 Synagogue and of the 
 Board of Deputies. 
 There was a time 
 when he was said not 
 to be on the most 
 amiable terms with 
 Lord Rothschild, but 
 when the latter’s name 
 was used as a handle 
 against him at the 
 recent election Lord 
 Rothschild telegraphed 
 to say that it was 
 wholly unauthorized. 
 Latterly, Mr. Montagu 
 Mr. S. Montagu. has taken a very special 
 interest in the burning 
 
 question of foreign immigration, ut his p’an is, 
 not to stop the immigrants at the Custom-house, 
 but to divert the stream “ from this crowded citv 
 and land and to settle them in countries where 
 there is room for industrious citizens.'' More than 
 this, he has schemes for re-emigrating others 
 to the Holy Land, and it was at his instance 
 that a petition was presented to Lord 
 Salisbury praying for his good offices with 
 the Turkish Government for this purpose. The 
 request has not yet been gi anted, but Mr. 
 Montagu promises to renew his efforts with 
 the next Liberal Foreign Secretary, “who, I trust, 
 will be Lord Rosebery.” Among his other good 
 works he has founded a Jewish woi king-men’s 
 club in East London, and gives it his closest per- 
 sonal attention, providing and presiding at con- 
 certs, and making speeches between the songs on 
 all manner of subjects grave and gay. He is 60 
 years of age, a banker by profession, and head of 
 the firm of Samuel Montagu and Co., 60, Old 
 Broad-street, a J.P. for London and D.L. for 
 Tower Hamlets. Taking him all in all, he is per- 
 haps the hardest-worked of all Jewish public men. 
 He married in 1862 a grand-niece of the late Sir 
 Moses Montefiore.

 Mr. T. W. Russell will certainly be remem- 
 bered as one of the men of the 1886-92 Parliament, 
 ftr is he notin his own 
 person the very embodi- 
 ment of Ulsteria? He 
 has appeared on endless 
 platforms, “devilled” 
 most assiduously for 
 Unionist dukes, acted 
 as independent critic of 
 the Government when 
 independent criticism 
 could do no harm, and 
 as a thick-and-thin sup- 
 porter when support 
 was necessary. He 
 demanded certain 
 changes in the Land 
 Bill of 1887, and, not 
 getting them, publicly 
 announced his seces- 
 sion from the Unionist party. His return, how- 
 ever, was swift and silent, and from the date 
 of his secession his agreement with the Govern- 
 ment has been prodigious He appears sincerely 
 to believe that his life would not be safe in 
 Ireland it Home Rule were passed, and from 
 the security of the Opposition benches of 
 the House of Commons he wages a continuous 
 vendetta with the Irish members. There probably 
 never was such a mutual aveision as betwetn 
 him and them. He is a fluent and in some 
 respects a good speaker, but he cannot speak the 
 slightest sentence on the least controversial topic 
 without leaving the impression that he is in a great 
 passion. He once described himself as a “ Har- 
 tingtonian Liberal,” and he is supposed to supply 
 the Duke of Devonshire with his facts and figures 
 and to inspire Mr. Chamberlain with those lurid 
 views about Irish members which fill so large a 
 space in his Birmingham speeches. As a “ loyal 
 and patriotic” man, he was a devout btliever 
 in “ Parnellism and C ime ” and has clung 
 to his faith with great tenacity. Contrary to 
 general belief, he is not an Irishman but a Scotch- 
 man, born and bred at Cupar, and the son of a 
 stonemason. Before ever Unionism was heard of, 
 he was well known as a Temperance man who was 
 deeply concerned in the Sunday closing move- 
 ment in Ireland. He keeps a temperance hotel, 
 and it is said in Dublin that no one has a chance of 
 office at Dublin Castle who cannot certify that he 
 has stayed at Russell’s hotel. This, however, is 
 authoritatively contradicted by Mr Russell him 
 self. He is 51, and was educated at the Madr&s 
 Academy, Cupar.

 Mr. Arthur Wellesley Peel, who is the youngest

 age, has represented Warwick in six Parliaments, 
 during which he had filled the offices of Secretary 
 to the Poor Law Board (Dec., 1868, to Jan., 1871), 
 Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade 
 (1871-73), Patronage Secretary to the Treasury 
 (1873-74), and Under-Secretary for Home Affairs 
 (April to December, 1880). The right hon. gentle- 
 man was for two sessions of the 1810 Parliament, 
 Speaker of the House of Commons, and every- 
 body who was present will remember the grace 
 and dignity of his speech on taking the chair. He 
 was re-elected amidst general expressions of good- 
 will tthe Parnellites entering onlya formal protest) 
 at the beginning of 18£6, and at once rendered 
 a great service by excluding the Bradlaugh 
 question from his parliamentary purview. Apart 
 from this incident he made only an indifferent 
 start in the late Parliament, but to some extent 
 recovered ground before the end of the six years. 
 His construction of the closure rule, and especially 
 the consent which he gave to the closuring of the 
 whole committee stage of the Coercion Bill, 
 caused great indignation on the Liberal side of 
 the House. But these are no easy days for a 
 Speaker of the House of Commons, invested not 
 only with the difficult privilege of turning a blind, 
 eye to would-be orators, but of accepting or de- 
 clining every motion to curtail debate. Mr. Peel 
 is not supposed to be as strong a man in the chair 
 as Mr. Courtney, and he has not the same gift of 
 aggravating good temper, but on the whole he has 
 given satisfaction during the last four years, and 
 when his wife died in 1880 he received universal 
 tokens of sympathy and goodwill. He was edu- 
 cated at Eton and Balliol, and has a magnifi- 
 cence of presence, a dignity of bearing, a com- 
 mand of sonorous language, and a knowledge of 
 elocuticn which redeemed from the ridiculous 
 even the futile reprimand which the House 
 instructed him to make in the recent Breach of 
 Privilege case.

 Mr. Algernon Bertram Freeman-Mitford, C. B , 
 was well known in the Civil Service fion 1L7 1 
 till 1886 as the Secretary to her Majesty’s 
 Commissioners of Works. But he had seen 
 much of the world before that time. He 
 entered the Foreign Office as long ago as 
 1858, and served as Secretary of Embassy at 
 iooAL ersbur?l Prkin, and in Tapan. In 
 1886 he wts lucky enough to inherit the Bats- 
 ford-park estate of his relative, the late Earl of 
 Redesdale, and wisely retired from the paid set vice 
 o' the State and became a country gentleman. 
 He has the reputation of being an excellent 
 
 Mr. J. E. Redmond. 
 
 landlord, goes in for shire horse breeding, and 
 is an ardent agriculturist. Is said to have 
 condemned, on more than one occasion, the tactics 
 of the Primrose League, and is consequently n )t 
 in great favour with some of the more fayh : onable 
 Tories. He has written a book on “ Japanese Folk- 
 lore,” and has had his portrait painted by Sir 
 F rederic Leighton. He was educated at Eton an d 
 Christ Church, Oxford, and is 55.

 Mr. John E. Redmond — “ Roscius Redmond,” 
 as he has been nickramed by the House of 
 Commons wags, from a 
 something melo- 
 dramatic in his appear- 
 ance and delivery — is a 
 gentleman who affects 
 strong language ; but 
 he is not a strong man. 
 
 He is readily overcome 
 by sentiment, and has 
 often figured in parlia- 
 mentaiy “ scenes, ” 
 which it is only fair to 
 say he generally pro- 
 vokes in taking up some 
 friend’s quarrel rather 
 than his own. He is, 
 in fact, quite one of the 
 stormy petrels of the 
 House; and his persist- 
 ent, dogged declama- 
 tion, every sentence 
 emphasized by a nod, 
 generally interposes to embroil further any 
 dispute which may arise. At present the sen- 
 timent which possesses Mr. Redmond is 
 that of devotion to Mr. Parnell’s memory; but at 
 the famous interview at Carlton-gardens in Dec., 
 1890, he is said to have had an evident struggle not 
 to succumb to the personal spell of Mr. Gladstone, 
 He was nominated leader of the Parnellites on 
 Mr. Parnell’s death. On a platform he is an effe:- 
 tive speaker, and in Ireland an crator. Mr. Red- 
 mond’s best service to his party was his Austral an 
 trip three or four years ago, from which some 
 £10,000 flowed into the Party hat. He did 
 equally well on the same trip fo.- himself by 
 marrying an Australian heiress and beauty. Mr. 
 Redmond is only thirty-six, and is one of tbe few 
 Iiish members who could by any stretch of fancy 
 be termed “dressy.”

 Mr. Alfred Webb, was born in. Dublin in 1834, 
 son of Richard Davis Webb, an intimate associate 
 of Garrison in the American Anti-Slavery move- 
 ment. He married in 1861 Elizabeth Shackleton, of 
 Bally tore, a great-granddaughter of Burke’s friend, 
 Richard Shackleton. He 
 is a master printer, 
 residing in Dublin, 
 closely connected with 
 the Society of Friends, 
 though no longer a 
 member of that body. 
 
 He is the author of “ A 
 Compendium of Irish 
 Biography,” and has 
 been well known in 
 Irish politics for the 
 past twenty-five years. 
 
 He was one of the 
 earliest members, and 
 for some time secretary 
 and treasurer, of Mr. 
 
 Butt’s Home Rule Asso- 
 ciation. About twelve 
 years ago he, for a time, 
 withdrew in discouragement from public life, but 
 was swept back into politics by the Land League 
 movement. But he was destined to end as he 
 began — against Mr. Parnell. He remains, how- 
 ever, a profound believer in Home Rule as essen- 
 tial to the peace and prosperity of Ireland, and 
 the good of the Empire. Reviews of the Irish 
 situation from his pen appear occasionally, we be- 
 lieve, in the Manchester Guardian.

 an able, well-informed

 these reasons probably that he was in last Parlia-

 Mr. William Burdett-Coutts (ne Ashmead-

 Baroness Burdett-Coutts. 
 He was born in the 
 United States — at Ply- 
 mouth, immortalized by 
 tne Puritans and the 
 Mayflower. He was 
 educated at Torquay, 
 Cholmeley School (High- 
 gate), and Keble College, 
 Oxford, where he won a 
 scholarship. He was 
 Special Commissioner to 
 the Baroness Burdett- 
 Coutts’s Turkish Com- 
 passionate Fund during 
 the Russo-Turkish u a-. 
 Being found faithful by 
 his wealthy patroness in 
 small things, he was 
 accounted worthy to rule 
 over many, and was pro- 
 moted to the post of per- 
 manent almoner for the Baroness, whose name he 
 assumed by Royal 1 cence in 1881. He is one of 
 the directors of the British East Africa Company, 
 and in that capacity laid himself open to criticism 
 on the occasion of the Mombasa Railway vote. 
 He is an authority on horses. He is 41.

 If Alderman Sir Joseph Savory, Bart., hal 
 never taken to preaching, he would have been a 
 wiser, but a less 
 famous man. For, 
 cne day dtr ng his 
 mayoraltyhe borrowed 
 a sermon of Mr. Spur- 
 geon’s without stating 
 and, doubtless, with- 
 out remembering the 
 debt; and “Savory 
 01 toast” has been a 
 standing dish ever 
 since. But of the legiti- 
 mate duties of his office 
 Sir _ Joseph Savory 
 acquitted himself 
 creditably enough. 
 
 He looked the Lord 
 Mayor to the life. He 
 is tall, portly, and handsome ; speaks well, if 
 in somewhat high-flown language ; and as for 
 pomposity, a Lord j Mayor without it would 
 be an absurdity. On his father’s side Sir 
 Joseph is of French Huguenot extraction, and 
 his family has been established in business in 
 the City for a century and a half. Through his 
 mother, he is connected with the county which he- 
 now represents in Parliament. He was educated. 
 at Harrow under Dr. Vaughan. In one of his- 
 earliest speeches as Lord Mayor he showed his 
 recondite recollection of the classics by quoting arma 
 virumque cano ; and Dr. Welldon gave his boys a. 
 holiday in honourof the Harrovian Lord Mayor. In 
 receiving him into office, Mr. Justice Denman- 
 took occasion to remark that Mr. Savory “ must 
 very early have discovered that all is not gold that 
 glitters .” But this was a wholly unmerited reflec- 
 tion on the old and famous firm of A. B. Savory 
 and Co., now known as the Goldsmiths’ Alliance- 
 Company. Besides being at the head of this firm. 
 Sir Joseph assists to “direct” the New Rives - 
 Company and the Royal Mail Steam Packet Com- 
 pany. But his business and his religious avoca- 
 tions have not prevented Sir Joseph Savory (says a i 
 gossip in the World) from becoming an excellent 
 shot, a fearless rider, and an expert whip. _ He ha? 
 a fancy for old china, and is fond of farming. He 
 was made a baronet for entertaining the German 
 Emperor. He is 49.

 Irish People, of which John O’Learv was editor 
 and O’Donovan Rossa manager. With O’Leary 
 and Rossa he was arrested in 1865, convicted of 
 treason felony, and got fifteen years. He was. 
 however, liberated long before his time wa; up, 
 and has since devoted himself to journalism in hts

 Sir John Pender comes back to Parliament as 
 the representative _ of the constituency which 
 returned him unin- 
 
 
 terruptedly for 
 thirteen years to 1885. 
 
 He is a great, autho- 
 rity on ocean tele-

 {He was originally a 
 merchant in London,

 project of laying an 
 Atlantic cable was 
 first mooted he was 
 one of the 345 per-

 Sir Francis Sharp Powell is a well-known Lan- 
 cashire man, and is perhaps the best beaten mem- 
 ber in the House. He 
 sat for Wigan 1857-59 
 and 1863-68, but was 
 defeated in eight con- 
 tested elections 1852-80. 
 
 This, no doubt, ac- 
 counts for the baronetcy 
 which he received in 
 May, 1892. He was 
 educated at St. John’s 
 College, Cambridge 
 (where he took double 
 honours and was elected 
 to a scholarship), has 
 been called to the bar 
 (Inner Temple), but has 
 long ceased to prac- 
 tise. He is a member 
 of the council of the 
 Church Schools Com- 
 pany, and as a mat- 
 ter of course strongly 
 opposed the F'ree Education scheme of last year. 
 He is a sanitarian, and served on the Royal Sani- 
 tary Commission. He is 65.

 Sir Herbert Eustace Maxwell is the seventh 
 baronet of that name, and was born in Edinburgh. 
 He was educated at 
 Eton and Christ 
 Church, Oxford, and 
 after amusing himself 
 for a time as a mili ia 
 officer turned his 
 attention to politic -. 
 
 Soon after his advent 
 at St. Stephen’s he 
 tried his hand at bait- 
 ing Mr. Gladstone, 
 and put questions with 
 such persistency to 
 the Liberal leader as 
 to call forth the admi- 
 ration of Mr.Ashmead- 
 Bartlett. It is also 
 understood that “ his 
 triumphant glee of 
 drawing W. E. G.” 
 was viewed favourably 
 in higher quarters, for in 1886 he was rewarded 
 with a junior lordship of the Treasury. The 
 baronet M.P. is a real live dandy— said, indeed, 
 to be the best dressed man on the Tory side. Can 
 write too. Has produced several novels, and 
 other books — his latest, “ Meridiana,” having 
 appeared just before the election — and he has 
 turned out readable magazine articles on all sorts

 In 1885 and 1886 the sitting memberwas returned 
 unopposed. 
 
 The Right Hon. 
 Charles Pelham Villiers, 
 whose jubilee as member 
 for Wolverhampton was 
 celebrated a few years 
 ago, is the Father of the 
 House of Commons. 
 Mr. Gladstone’s parlia- 
 mentary life is indeed 
 longer than his, but Mr. 
 Villiers was born in 1802, 
 and is thus seven years 
 older than the Grand 
 Old Man. He is noc 
 very often seen in the 
 House nowadays, and it 
 was a great disappoint- 
 Rt. Hn.C. P. Villiers. ment to him three years 
 ago not to be able to be 
 present to hear Mr. Gladstone's eulogium on 
 
 his old friend, John Bright. “The House is 
 too noisy just now,” he said, adding, with a smile, 
 “ and I’m afraid I should soon follow my old friend 
 if I ventured there often. ’ But Mr. Villiers is a 
 strong Unionist, and during the last Parliament 
 generally answered the Conservative whip in any 
 division that looked at all critical. His figure has 
 lost its uprightness, and people turn to look at the 
 old man as he passes through the streets with 
 head bent forward and right hand resting on his 
 back. It is, however, as Father of Free Trade 
 rather than as Father of the House of Commons 
 that Mr. Villiers deserves to be best known. He 
 was the third in authority, perhaps, of the great 
 anti-Corn Law Trio, but he was the first Parlia- 
 mentary advocate of Free Trade. He wasalready a 
 member of Parliament in 1835, when John Bright, 
 who was ten years his junior, was conquering a 
 precocious reputation as a young speaker in local 
 and sectarian controversy. When Cobden pub- 
 lished his first pamphlet, Mr. Villiers sought him 
 out and told him how he, Mr. Villiers, had already 
 spoken from the hustings in favour of Free Trade, 
 and pledged himself to demand attention to the 
 Corn Law question in Parliament. The 
 part which he played by speech and pen 
 in the great controversy is well known, and 
 a collection of his free trade speeches was 
 appropriately published in connection with his 
 jubilee. A quarter of a century ago, however, he 
 was a prominent man in Liberal Administrations, 
 having been Judge- Advocate-General 1852-58 and 
 President of the Poor Law Board 1859-66, with 
 a seat in the Cabinet, on which occasion there 
 were two brothers in one Cabinet — he and Lord 
 Clarendon. He was educated at St. John’s, 
 Cambridge (M.A. 1827), was called to the bar 
 (Lincoln’s Inn), and was for twenty years before 
 his official life began an examiner in Chancery. 
 But it is of his campaigning days, and of the great 
 men with whom he worked that Mr. Villiers loves 
 to speak — modestly omitting his own share, how- 
 ever, in the propaganda, and speaking of “ they” 
 when he might say “we.” Very pleasant it is to 
 be pri\ ileged to pass an hour or two with the old 
 man in his simple, unpretentious chambers. It is 
 an aged figure which in such a case comes to 
 meet you — clad, perhaps, in a ciuaint deshabille 
 in which the chief garment will be a long black 
 dressing-gown, like a cassock, the breast open 
 and showing an old-fashioned frilled shirt-front ; 
 above, the thin face with some fresh, clear colour 
 defying years, eyes sparkling with intelligence, 
 and tumbled locks of grey hair — the kind of old 
 man who inspires one at once with a sort of 
 affectionate respect.

 Of all the Liberal front-benchers Mr. Henry 
 Hartley Fowler is the one who made most advance 
 during the last 
 Parliament. 
 Though he is per- 
 haps a little pom- 
 pous he has an 
 excellent House 
 of Commons man- 
 ner, and that un- 
 definable gift of 
 impressing people 
 with moderation, 
 and therefore tl e 
 weight- of * his 
 judgment, which 
 enforces the re- 
 spect of oppo- 
 nents. Moreover, 
 Fowler has 
 an excellent head 
 for figures, a > 
 well as the power 
 of explaining 
 them lucidly, and 
 he has in Parlia- 
 ment been the 
 most effective critic of Mr. Goschen’s finance. Out- 
 side the House, Mr. Fowler commands the strength 
 which belongs in these days to militant Nonconfor- 
 mity, for he is as well kno^m in the Methodist Con- 
 ference as in the House cf Commons. “ He is the 
 
 Mr. H. H. Fowler. 
 
124 
 
 only Methodist,” his co-religionists proudly relate, 
 <l who has ever been mads a Privy Councillor. . . . 
 Belonging to a profession which is often sorely 
 tempted to place the rights of property first, and 
 the rights of man second, he has managed to main- 
 tain a deep and abiding sympathy with the suffer- 
 Engs of the poor, and his voice has been eloquently 
 heard in defence of the children of our crowded 
 citias, and the equal rights of unrefined religionists.” 
 This allusion to his profession as a solicitor 
 must not be taken as implying that he is in 
 any way “a soft.” On the contrary, as senior 
 partner in the firm of Fowler, Perks, Hopkinson, 
 ■and Co., he is a very astute and hard-headed 
 man of business, and knows the value of a good 
 connection as well as any man. He is also a 
 director of companies — among others, of Cassell 
 and Company, the publishers so famous for their 
 combination of business and philanthropy. Mr. 
 Fowler, like Mr. Chamberlain, qualified for 
 Gmperial politics in municipal office, having 
 been chairman of the Wolverhampton School 
 Board, and Mayor of the same town. He 
 was born at Sunderland, the son of a Wesleyan 
 minister, and was educated at St. Saviour's 
 Grammar School, Southwark. He was admitted a 
 sdlic’tor when 22, and has practised for many years 
 in Wolverhampton. He was first returned for that 
 town in 1880. Towards the closeof the 1880 Glad- 
 stone Administration Under-Secretary at the Home 
 Office, and in 1885 Financial Secretary to the 
 'Treasury. He is married, and is 62.

 This was one of the most piquant contests, and 
 it is probably the first time that a don and tutor

 Austen Chamberlain 
 was destined for politics 
 from his earliest years, 
 and it is undertood 
 that his father intends 
 to push him. He has 
 hitherto had all the 
 advantages that a 
 young man of means 
 can have — he was at 
 Rugby and Trinity, 
 
 Cambridge, and has 
 studied the politics of 
 France and Germany Mr. J. A. Chamberlain. 
 on the spot. In his 
 
 undergraduate days, he had some reputation as 
 a Union orator (when he defended the unauthorized 
 programme with more than filial enthusiasm) but 
 his career as a Unionist is hardly yet kmwn to 
 the world. Belief in his family is a considerable 
 part of his political creed, and he models himself 
 on his father, even to eyeglass and orchid —

 Mr. J. G. Butcher is an Irish Tory, the son of 
 an Irish Bishop, a brilliant scholar, a first-class 
 mathematician, and a 
 Fellow of Trinity Col- 
 lege, Cambridge, and 
 the brother of another 
 distinguished scholar, 
 the Professor of Greek 
 at Edinburgh. He is 
 an equity barrister by 
 profession, and by 
 inclination a strong poli- 
 tician, and as anti-Irish 
 as only an Irish Pro- 
 testant can be. He is a 
 fluent speaker, was very 
 hot on “ Parnellism and 
 Crime,” and with the 
 aid of friends and rela- 
 tives of both sexes has 
 nursed the city of York 
 with the greatest assi- 
 duity. He is 40 years old and was educated 
 at Marlborough and Trinity, Cambiidge. When 
 Mr. Butcher was riding one day recently in 
 the Row, his horse (says the Star) came into 
 collision with the steed Mrs. Frank Lockwood was 
 riding. “Holloa, Butcher,” said the genial Q.C. 
 to his adversary, “you don’t want to unseat the 
 whole family, do you ? ”

 Mr. Frank Lockwood, Q.C.,is the popular leader 
 of the North Eastern Circuit, and the blotting 
 pads he leaves behind 
 him after a heavy day’s 
 pleading are an artistic 
 treasure, which may 
 be exhibited in Bond- 
 street some day. He 
 beguiled as well as 
 assisted the Irish party 
 in the Commission 
 Court, for his clever 
 sketches killed the 
 tedium of many dreary 
 days. He was born in 
 1847, is a Cambridge 
 man (Caius), and was 
 called to the bar (Lin- 
 coln’s Inn) in 1872. 
 He was never known 
 to break a promise in 
 his life, and no one 
 Mr. F. Lockwood. knows better how to 
 obtain substantial com- 
 
 pensation for breaches of faith, and his salves for 
 broken hearts are famous in the trade.

 Mr. Ernest William Beckett-Denison (who has

 Earl of Faversham, and he is heir-presumptive 
 to the Barony of Grimthorpe. He was con- 
 spicuous in the last Parliament as one of the 
 very few Tories who objected to the sur- 
 render of Heligoland — a piece of “dismember- 
 ment” which, if perpetrated by Mr. Glad- 
 
 stone, would have set 
 howling. He is a good

 36 years of age : was

 Seventy-five years ago a miner in a small 
 
 Scotch town, who had struggled hard to send 
 his lad of ten to 
 school, found he could 
 do so no longer, 
 and put him to earn 
 a living with two 
 weavers in the neigh- 
 bourhood. That lad 
 was Isaac Holden. 
 But removal from 
 school only stimulated 
 his ardour for know- 
 ledge, and he managed 
 to attend evening 
 classes when working 
 as an operative in 
 a cotton mill some 
 fourteen hours a day. 
 Long before he had 
 reached manhood he 
 had studied mathe- 
 matics, physics, and 
 the classics to some purpose, and when his 
 father died took up cheerfully the burden 
 of the support of the family, and found 
 employment as a teacher. He gave up the ferule 
 later, and accepted the position of book-keeper to 
 a Yorkshire manufacturing firm. This was the 
 turning point of his life. He became interested 
 in wool-combing, and after years of labour 
 succeeded in perfecting the combing machine. 
 In 1840 he removed to Bradford, and soon after- 
 wards entered into partnership with Mr. Lister as 
 wool-ccmbers at St. Denis, France. The business 
 rapidly increased, and branches were established at 
 R’neims and Croix. Mr. Lister afterwards retired, 
 and in 1858 the present fit m of Isaac Holden and 
 Sons was started. Mr. Holden claims to be the 
 inventor of the lucifer match. He first entered politi- 
 cal life in 1865, when he was elected fir Knares- 
 borough. Is now 85, but has the buoyant step and clear 
 head of most men who are only half his age, and 
 is altogether a G.O.M. Has been all his life a 
 generous and unostentatious supporter of Wesleyan 
 Methodism, is a monomaniacal Gladstonian, but 
 enjoys the respect of all parties, and is an advanced 
 reformer, especially upon land questions. Would 
 break down all barriers, both of taxation and inter- 
 communication between nations — hence is an 
 ardent supporter of the Channel Tunnel scheme.

 Mr. Roundell was captain of the Harrow Eleven. 
 He went thence to Balliol, Oxford, where he

 Chancellor’s Medal for the English essay. After 
 practising as a Chancery barrister for a few years, 
 he gave up the profession, a id in 1865 was by the 
 late Lord Cardwell, then Secreta-y of State for the 
 Colonies, appointed Secretary to the Royal Com-

 the then recent disturbances in that is’and in the 
 time of Governor Eyre. Mr. Roundell had prer-

 resulted in the abolition of Religious Tests and 
 Disabilities at the Universities of Oxford and

 Cambridge. In this connection it wil be rernem- 
 berei that “ Mr. Roundell’s Committee’ was one 
 of the organizations which succeeded the other day 
 in defeating the charter of the proposed “ Albsrt 
 University a charter which among other objec- 
 tionable features sanctioned the imposition of tests 
 in the case of one portion of the University. This 
 is a subject which is Mr. RoundeU'sown, for he was 
 secretary to the Unive-sity Commission in 1872. 
 He had also been private secretary to Lord Spencer 
 in Ireland. Mr Charles Savile Roundell is married 
 to a sister of Mr. Henry Tollemache, and is a 
 member of a very old Yorkshire family. He sat 
 for Grantham 1880-5.

 It is as a social rather than as a political worker 
 that Lord Compton is best known. He has 
 been called the 
 Romney Leigh of 
 real life ; he has 
 taken a close per- 
 sonal interest in the 
 property of his 
 father, the Marquis 
 of Northampton, in 
 Clerkenwell ; he 
 was a witness before 
 the Royal Com- 
 mission on the 
 Dwellings of the 
 Poor, and he has 
 strong views on the 
 necessity of looking 
 after the ground 
 landlords of Lon- 
 don. It was the 
 prominence which 
 he gave to social 
 questions that se- 
 cured his election 
 to the London 
 County Council, 
 cm which body he was Chairman of the Committee 
 on the Housing of the Poor. Good looks and a 
 gracious manner are assisted inLord Compton’scase 
 by diplomatic training. He was formerly a Second 
 ■Secretary in the diplomatic service, serving at 
 Paris, Rome, and St. Petersburg. He was 
 attached to his father’s special mission to Spain in 
 1881, and was Private Secretary 1880-82 to Earl 
 Cowper when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Though 
 ■very much a Radical, he is also a bit of a 
 masher ; but he is a thoroughly good fellow. 
 Was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cam- 
 bridge, and married the Hon. Mary Baring, only 
 daughter and heiress of the second Baron Ash- 
 burton. He is 41.

 As an organizer of Provincial Liberalism, Sir 
 James Kitson, Bart., has been to Yorkshire what 
 Mr. Spence Watson is to Northumberland. 
 Indeed, his services to the Liberal party in the 
 provinces ha\ e been immense during the 
 last six years of storm and stress. In par- 
 ticular, he helped to pull the National Libe- 
 ral Federation together after the split of 1886 
 and the desertion of the Birmingham party, 
 and for six years he has occupied the posi- 
 
 tion of President to the Federation. Like many 
 other _ provincial Liberals he first twk a 
 prominent part in 
 politics at the time 
 of the Education Act 
 of 1870, and rose by 
 various steps to be 
 President of the Leeds 
 Liberal Association, 
 in which capacity he 
 took a conspicuous 
 part in promoting the 
 return of Mr. Glad- 
 stone in 1880, and 
 subsequently of Mr. 
 
 Herbert Gladstone in 
 his place. Politics 
 apart, Sir James 
 Kitson is a great 
 ironmaster, and the 
 employer of some 2,000 men. Sir James Kitson 
 was born in 1835, and was educated at Univer- 
 sity College, London. He was President of the 
 Iron and Steel Institute 1889-91, and has been 
 twice married.

 Mr. C. J. Fleming is a local barrister who 
 resides and practises at Manchester, and in early 
 life served a term with the dragoons — a fact which 
 may account for his stalwart appearance and 
 upright bearing. He was born in 1841, educated 
 privately, and called to the bar in 1872, having in 
 the. meanwhile, between his military and his legal 
 period, been in the financial department of the 
 Bombay Civil Service. He has worked the consti- 
 tuency hard, and made himself exceedingly popular. 
 He was unsuccessful candidate for Pontefract in 
 1836. It should be added that in Doncaster, as in a 
 great many other constituencies, the Women's 
 Liberal Association has done excellent service.

 is a partner in the Sheffield Smelting Com-

 politician, has filled the post of secretary 
 of the Liberal organization in Sheffield, and has 
 been for nine years a member and for a few months 
 chairman of the School Board. The Social Purity 
 Crusade found in him a strong supporter, and 
 he is also a staunch temperance man. He has 
 plenty of grit, but the eight hours question has 
 troubled him a good deal. He is finding salvation, 
 however, but “ is rather in favour of a permissive 
 enactment than of a ha-d-and-fast one.”

 Mr. A. E. Hutton is a young Cambridge man

 five years ago, and is 
 now in business with

 manufacturer of Brad- 
 ford, and a great pillar 
 of the Congregational 
 movement in York-

 Mr. A.E. Hutton, M.P., 
 is a strong Noncon- 
 formist, but, accord- 
 ing to his friends, 
 
 “ thoroughly imbued 
 with the modern spirit.” 
 
 He is chairman of the 
 Bradford Nonconfor- 
 mist Association, and 
 recently presided over 
 a conference of young 
 Congregationalists in 
 Leeds to support the 
 cause of “ progressive Congregationalism.” He 
 has been instrumental in establishing a free

 Mr. Benjamin Pickard graduated for Parliament 
 in the pits. The hon. member is a Yorkshireman, 
 having been born fifty 
 years ago at Kippax, 
 near Leeds. He went 
 into the pits when he 
 was 12, and worked 
 there till 1873, when he 
 was elected assistant- 
 secretary to the York- I 
 
 shire Miners’ Union, 
 of which he is now 
 secretary. He was for 
 some time a local 
 preacher in the Wes- 
 leyan Church, a Sunday- 
 school teacher, and 
 also took an active 
 interest in night schools. 
 
 Has on several occa- 
 sions given important

 Select Committee of

 The success of Mr. A. H. L>. Ac’and in the late 
 Parl'ament is among the most cle.*riul signs of 
 modern politics. In 
 spite of all that is said 
 to the contrary, it is 
 one proof among many 
 that sincerity, ability, 
 and hard work will 
 come by their own, 
 though combined with 
 modesty, and a great 
 aversion to self-adver- 
 tisement. Mr. Acland 
 is perhaps less known 
 to the public than men 
 who do not carry a 
 tithe of his weight 
 among those who know, 
 but he has — what in 
 the lcng run is very 
 much better — a very 
 considerable House of 
 Commons reputation. 
 
 He is regarded as one of 
 thesmall class whonever 
 speak except when they know, and when they know 
 always speak with effect. He has been called the 
 member for Education, and he has done notable 
 work in this direction during the last six years. 
 It was he who first proposed to devote the whisky 
 money to technical education, and he also who, as 
 secretary to the Technical Education Association, 
 Las been one of the foremost to show how the 
 money may best he spent. His interest is not less 
 in elementary education, and it seemed perfectly 
 natural that when Sir W. Hart-Dyke had introduced 
 his Free Education Bill Mr. Acland should be the 
 first to speak on the Liberal benches. But he is 
 by no means a man of one subject. He has all 
 the zeal for labour and social questions which is 
 characteristic of the new Oxford Liberals. Long 
 b-fore he gave up his appointment at Christ 
 Chirch, Oxford, he had set his mark on the 
 co-operative movement, and he is now on most 
 intimate terms with trade unionists, new and old, 
 and with his miners of his own constituency. 
 There are in fact very few members who have 
 a better understanding of working-class politics. 
 Mr. Arthur Herbert Dyke Acland is the second 
 son of Sir Thomas Acland, and until 1885 was 
 an Oxford tutor and bursar. He was a friend of 
 the late Arnold Toynbee (whom he succeeded as 
 bursar of Balliol), and has taken an active part 
 in all the social causes and movements with 
 which Toynbee's name is identified. He was 
 educated at Rugby and Christ Church, and is an 
 hon. fellow of Balliol. He is 45.
