PROGRAMME OR PLOT?
PROGRAMME OR PLOT? There is a danger lest, in the interest excited by events in tlia la!,d of the Pharaohs, wo should minims? the Import- ance of the questions coming to the fore in our right little, tight little island." The din of war, and the hubbub of Tory criticism in the House of Commons, so fill our ears that other and very significant sounds are almost inaudible. All politicians are asking, ^Vhat should we do with Egypt ?" Fate has thrust the country into our hands against our will, compelled us to return when we were on tho point of retir. ing and whether we acknowledge or re- pudiate the fact, we are committed to a practical protectorate for some time to come. The Fate that has sent us back to Egypt has worked against tbe Government at home. The Tories have bad an opportunity, which they have utilized up to obstruction point, of asking questions which they themselves well know it would be extremely impolitic to answer; and they then condemn the Government because of their reticence. They have scattered charges of incapacity 'i vacillation, and blood-guiltiness with a sub- lime contempt of what these seriously imply and which, were they applied by Liberals i to them when in office, they would characterise as the echoes in St. Stephen's of the most insulting braying of the lowest mobocracy. All the genius of the Tory party during the whole of the present session has been directed toward Obstructiveness. Speeches on their side of the House, from the most temperate to the most tempestuous, have had this one aim in commou, to dis- credit, and, if possible, to overthrow the Government. But it take 3 no great ability to destroy fortunately for the Tories, that is within the reach of all. Anybody can pull down. It may need a Christopher Wren to design a St Paul's, and then direct the embodiment in stone of his grand idea, but any heterogeneous crowd of the least intelligent could effectually pull it down. So has it been, so is it, with Tory criticisms on the Government. Read them carefully -there is plenty of force, of a certain sort but it is animal force as distinguished from ability. Take tbe three tyjiical cases: Lord Salisbury snarls, in his contemptible style, You're a set of incapables. Sir Stafford Northcote, courteous as he always is, but weak and mild, who can lecture upon "Nothing," and exemplify his text, says, Gentlemen, you have been acting wrongly, inconsistently., I can nointjthat out, though I cannot tell you how I would improve upon it." While Lord Randolph Churchill, like a be^tam'cock, steps briskly about his limited domain, crowing, <( You're a pack of fools, worshippers of Moloch, and slaughter- ers of innocents." This is the very bravery of—verbiage. Challenged o-, er and over again to pro- duce their policy, the Conservatives have de- clined, and for the best of reasons. The ob- ojects they have in view are two :-fo get in- to power themselves to stave oif the Eepre- seDtaiion of tho People's Bill. These two objects support each other. The Tories have been so little in office since the passing of the great Reform Bill that if further power is given to the people their chances will be still further decreased. So they try to seize upon foreign complica- tions to gain, if possible, a little brief authorityindeed, they leave no stone un- turned to attain this end. Realising, as the more astute of them do, the growing power of the people, and how it will have to be reckoned with in the future, they do not hesitate to juggle with words and phrases that are likely to catch the ears of the people. Hence we have the comforting spectacle of Lord Salisbury posturing before the country with his appeal to the people." "Surelv hero is a programme at last one might have thought as he took up the ¡ paper with the Chelsea speech in. But though hopo was high of the conversion of I the noble lord to a soberer mind when wo I began to read, yet, reading on, hope sunk lower and lower on the thermometer till, at the end, it stood at the zero of disappoint- ment. The lauded programme turned out to be a plot. His simple meaning is: —When this measure (tho Franchise Bill) comes up to tha House of Lords, we will throw it out and appeal to the country as towbeLberthey realiyrequire it to be passed." Do Lord Salisbury's "four words" reaily mean what they seem tomean at first sight? -th,it his sympathies are with the people, and ho will hail their j udgJIlcnt gladly as decisive? No, bnt they seryo the double purpose of Indicating his policy of resistance to the people, and at the same time of tickling the ears of the unthinking. < The people must Dot be deluded by this Tory lord into supposing that he is coming to a better mind, and would further the extension of the Franchise. Lord Salisbury does not love the people, and hates the idea of their increasing political power. This is the lord who in 1866 sneered his bitterest, l his most contemptuous sreer, at the idea that ¡ the people wera of the same flesh and bluod with himself who said that the Tory party

While then we pay due- attention to Egypt and its affairs, we should not forget the men at home who have both- the ability and the determination to resist the rights of our countrymen we should keenly alive to the fact/that the House of Lords will, if possible, throw out the Franchise Bill; and in that event our voting should he so decisive that even the most obtuse Tory sball not dare further to resist- the people's will.

TIIE LORD- UEUTFNANCY OF ANGLESEY.
TIIE LORD- UEUTFNANCY OF ANGLESEY. In keeping with the popular bent of pub- lic matters and politics at the present time,, the recent appointment of Mr R. Davies, M.P., to the lurd-liouteBancy of his native isle cannot but give general satisfaction, not only to the county he represents in Parlia- ment, but to the bulk of the people of the Principality. The choice made by the- Crown, that is by the Government, in the present instance, is another felicitous move- ment on the popular piano upon which it now moves in reference to some of the wants of u little Wales." Mr R. Davies is well entitled to the felici- tations of his Liberal compatriots as a pio- neer in the path of horoui-able distinction and to anyone reviewing his consistent Liberal career—unique when regarded as. that of a Nonconformist—he will not seem "to wear an undeserved dignity." As Nonconformist Mr Davies wu.;o the first to fill the otfirc of high-sheriff in North Wales, an event whica took place in the year 1858; and the first Nonconformist justice of the peace, being appointed in the year 1863 afterwards entering Parliament with the same priority of distinction, sixteen years ago, and the present distinction comes upon him as if by a kind of natural sequence. No one will presume to dispute for a moment the fitness of the choice, who knows anything of the exceptionally high character of the man and his public capacity: and the following words of Emerson may he ap- propriately applied to Mr Dalies :— Honour and fortune exist for him who always recognizes the neighbourhood of the great, always feels himself in the pre- sence of high causes." According to an essay written by the Hon. G. C. Brodrick, on LOCAL Go VEST- MENT IN EN'OLAXP, a lord-lieutenant is the military viceregent of the Sovereign in the county, and usually holds the distinct office of Cusios Buiulorum, or keeper of the county records, in which capacity he appoints the Clerk of tbn Peace." If, to quote the same authority, "the prerogatives of the lord- lieutenant are becoming more and more shadowy," yet it may be replied that as they become the more impalpable or in- definable, the more exquisite and distin- guished also becomes the honour conferred by the title—being an emb.cm of a remark- able inediccval dignity and influence. But we have co doubt that when the Co "XT? GoVEKNMEXT Bin. already pro- mised and faintly outlined by some public speeches, becomes law, the former powers invested in the lord-lieuten- ancy wiiljbe largely revivified without in any way depriving- it of its ancient and illustrious associations. Far be it from us to cast a reflection on the late lord-lieutenant, for the services of the Hon. W. O. Stanley in the Whig interests, and his great appreciation and grateful re- cognition; but we may safely assert, upon a consideration of well-ascertained facts, in- dependentJy of the likelihood of the case, that since the lord-lieutenant had for some time quitted the arena of public life he had lost sight of some of the men of light and leading" m Anglesey who ought, according to all precedent, ere this to be occupying the justiciary bench in their respective localities. We have no doubt that the incoming lord- lieutonant has perceived and is alive to the obliviousness of his worthy predecessor. With all due dderence to the able author of Local (Jocernment referred to^above, we main. tain that the powor of virtually appointing justices of the peace is a palpable and im- portant prerogative of the loid-lieutenant which requires to be exercised with im- partiality and discretion. This sagacious and popular selection means renewed popularity to the Liberal party in the approaching general election. Whilst con- gratulating Mr R. Davies, and thereby the Liberal party, of which ho is a staunch sup- porter,and also the Son conformists of Wales, with whom lld has connected himself by many tender undying ties, we wish him long life to fid the onerous aud honourable duties of the ephere in which he is placed by the hand of a benign Providence. Know this, ray lord-- The nobleman is he whose noble mind Is filled with iubora worth, unborrowed from, his kind."
