      THE WEEK . . . .

      A Meeting Was Held In London Last Week T...

      A meeting was held in London last week to consider the proposed expenditure of a hundred millions of money in railways in India . The principal speaker—one Sir Arthur Cotton , an Indian General who is said to be up in irrigation---contended that water offered cheaper A . transit , and was far more useful than

      the iron road . How this question was ultimately settled the report did not very clearly show . One point , however , was not even touched upon ; namely , where the hundred millions were to come from . But this , of course , is a matter of secondary importance .

      a- « -- _ a--- ___ a _ F We congratulate Mr . Odger on his resolve to go to the poll for Southwark . Sir Francis Lycett and Sir Sydney Waterlow are very respectable men , but there are plenty of rich nonentities in the House of Commons already . Mr . Labouchere is not a

      nonentity , but—well , we-think Mr . Odger ' s character stances higher than that of the ex-member for Middlesex . . It is good that the intelligence of the labouring classes should be well represented , and Mr . Odger is as good a representative as could be found . He isor we should not support his candidature

      , , neither a brawling demagogue nor an itinerant blasphemer . Commerce has so many members in the House that honest labour might be allowed one . .

      It is a pleasure one rarely lias ^ to praise a President of the Poor-law Board thoroughly for lnirnanity , as well as great administrative capacity . Mr . Goschen has surpassed the hi ghest expectations of his friends , and silenced the censure of his criticsas well as the sneers of his enemies . If anything-can

      , save the Poor-law Board , his administration will . We only hope that Parliament will grant to the Board , now so ably directed , greater powers to en / 01 'ce upon the Guardians their commands , and to punish such insolent ruffians as many of the Guardians of St . Pancras have shown themselves . Mr .

      Goschen has shown a decided resolve to . destroy the . abuses of local self-government , and he has inspired sufficient confidence to warrant the advance of centralization in Poor-law matters . He has also been nobly prominent in all attempts to procure united actionirrespective of all religious sects and class-prejudicesin

      the treatment , of this fearful evil of pauperism and its kindred , social diseases , which threaten to overwhelm our country with incurable misery and decay .

      We must protest against the attempt which is being made to bully Mr . Hayman , the newly-elected Master of Rugby , out of his place . Mr . Hayman was duly and fairly elected j and the only thing alleged against him , which can possibly affect the validity of his electionis that he used testimonials given i him

      m * , «^ ~ - some time ago not for the immediate purpose of the Rugby head-mastership . But surely there is nothing dishonourable or unfair in this j testimonials are always presented with regard to a man ' s past as well as his present career , and unless the opponents of Mr . Hayman can prove that he falsely represented

      those testimonials as given him for the Rugby election especially , r 11 \ at the trustees thought they were ( which is very imprp 5 <____________________ ¦^ t jnr ^ ! » : vv XI : - "

      " the free-thinking * dogmatists , " are rapidly becoming the most intolerant and bigoted of parties . Nothing . can exceed the paltry narrow-mindedness of the Spectator , their especial organ . They remind one of spoiled children who , when they play a game and cannot win , immediately cry , " Oh , that ' s not fair , you ' re cheating ! "
