    "Liberal . " Stop one moment—he is Liberal in one thing "—in his abuse ! After passing over Mr . Cardwell ( who would make an excellent model for a statue of Economy in the courtyard of the War Office ) and Mr . Goschen ( who wastes only himself at the

    Poorlaw Board ) we come to the greatest cheeseparer of all , the Right Hon . William Ewart Gladstoneotherwise the " Tele-, grafiJUs pet , " alias the " People ' s Bill . " The last name , we admit , sounds a little vulgar , but the Liberal Government , as at

    present constituted ) in spite of the refining influence of Apollo Ayrton ) is , in itself , vulgar . It is " popular" with the masses , and rests its claims upon public support on its " sensationalism . " It will be remembered by all our male readers , and by some of the more elderly , andconsequently , more married of our

    , female subscribers , that the present Government came into power by using as a talisman the words " Justice to Ireland . " Nobody thought at the time that they meant very much by the cry , and now that "William Ewart Gladstone " { vide Daily Telegraph } has revealed his policy , everybody finds that less

    even was intended than the public expected . It is true that the Irish Church has been very properly sacrificed to the clamouring of the people ; but as for the Land Question , it remains where it was four years ago . It is useless to canvas its measures in these columns—it is only necessary

    to point out to two great facts : — 1 st . The Bill passes under the patronage of the Conservative » party . 2 nd . The Bill is opposed by the more influential representatives of that people on whose behalf its provisions were specially

    framed . And yet Mr . Gladstone and hiscolleagues pride themselves upon their claim to the title of Liberals , and cling with more than Conservative tenacity to that Bench which repre-} sents in the House of Commons both money and power !
