OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT I
OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT I LONDON, Monday. It is thought by many that the Leeds Confer- ence may give a decided shape to the future poliey of the Government. It was hoping against hope to send delegates from London charged with resolutions to place the Reform of London government before the County Franchise Bill. We are ripe enoagh for a radical change in the vestry method of doing things, as will be seen when Sir William Harcourt sails his banner. We weary of complaining. It was long evident that in the face of the City and the Vestries, and the Board of Works, groaning was no good. The hope of the moment is that Mr Gladstone will loee no time in taking up the question of the redistribution of seats. Here Mr John Morley's view of the situation is not considered in the least sanguine. Why not carry a Franchise Bill next sessions and (London Reform or not) a Redistribution Bill in 1885 ? Clearly Mr Glad- stone's is the brain to tackle this great problem. We may conclude that the equal electoral district idea will not be adopted by any framer of a Redis- tribution Bill, whoever he may be. To some extent the notion might be applied, but a thorough application of it would be impossible. Fancy giving London seventy or eighty members! We await with impatience the day when Eye and Bridport and Woodstock, and places of that description are absorbed into their respective counties, for their absorption would mean the extinction of a number of Parliamentary bores. There was a disposition at first to sneer at the Leeds Conferences, but it soon gave way to a feeling of respect. Pay no attention to the hysterical crowing of the London Tory press, for it represents nothing. The gathering at Leeds has alarmed the Tories here to a very con- siderable extent. They have really no reply to it. And they are not by any means forgetful of the fact that it followed a vast gathering of Liberals at Newcastle-on-Tyne. We are on the eye of a great and glorious political campaign, for, miad you, the Conservatives mean to fight. Presently the Lord Chief Justice will be with us again, and public interest in the Belt case, which has lain dormant during the long vacation, will revive. Will there be a compromise ? No. Whatever may be the desire of the Belt side, and judging from some observations which were made by Sir Hardinge Giffard on the last occasion the ex-Solicitor-General appeared in the matter, there is a de&ire of some sort, Mr Lawes is understood to be determined to go on to the very end. I may almost say to the bitter end. Well, good by, Belt, for the present.—From Mr Belt to r ,t. sculpture is a long step, but we may make it. < Those groups for Blackfriars Bridge are to be pro- '> oeeded with after all. It is understood that there will not be a competition, but that several artists will be chosen-men of established position— .( to do the work. ————— The "First Avenue Hotel" in Holborn is a really magnificent pile of street architecture. Its name is its worst defect. The First Avenue Hotel in New York is, of coarse, named from the thoroughfare in which it is situated. In Holborn such a name is perfectly ridiculous, and sounds ■ 'tike a stupid imitation of Americanism. The ♦'Hotel Metropole," now being built in Northum- -Imrland Avenue is quite as badly named. The proprietors might just as well have translated the JWDe which they have plagiarised from a Parisian hotel. I dont know whether the First Avenue" Company are aware that close by the site of their hotel there was once a noble avenue, a portion of which indeed still exists in Gray's Inn Gardens. The Gray's Inn Avenue, planted, in part at least, by Lord Bacon, once stretched right down to Holbom. One feature of the new >»>; •» hotel is that furnished rooms are offered to per- sons living in the country at £100 a year, so as to tt; afford them a London address and accommodation when they visit Town. The price is high, but there may be gentlemen who come ap to London once or twice a week who may be glad to make jt i such an arrangement. The fine block of buildings opposite the Strand front of the Law Courts is now almost ready for occupation. It is a great improvement upon the mean approach to Palsgrave Place, the site of which is entirely occupied by the new build- ing. Since its erection this magnificent block of chambers baa changed its name. It was to be called the Royal Courts of Justice Chambers. The Company which owns it bears that designa- tion. Bat the title is not euphonious, and it was, moreover, open to the objection that it might be confounded with the New Courts Chambers" in Carey Street, just behind the Royal Courts, built by W aterhou86, and early popularized by the fact that the Solicitor Gene- sal took a suite of rooms there. The Strand Chambers are now called the Outer Temple." The name is in every way good. It is histori- .V cally accurate in respect of the site, for t <ere 4, was once an Outer Temple" there, just as there is an Inner Temple and a Middle Temple. The Outer Temple was so named from its b. ing just beyond Temple Bar, and therefore beyond the City. Then again the name has the advan- tage of suggesting contiguity to and oneness with the recognised haunt of cammon-law counsel, and will, no doubt, soon attract plenty of occu- pants belonging to both branches of the profes- A. sion. ————— The prospect of a visit from a crack team of American cricketers in 1884 is being discussed in cricket circles here with increasing interest. Philadelphia sends the team. The city of brotherly r love has enjoyed and deserved the reputation of being the strongest cricket town (or city-they are all cities there)—in the States, ever sinse the noble game was introduced. In all the tours of "England elevens through the American con- tinent, Philadelphia has proved the invaders, strongest adversary. This was the case especially when the late Mr Fitzgerald's team of amateurs made their tour. Mr W: G. Grace was clean bowled by Charles Newhall, who is yet accounted the best bowler in the States. (Both the New. halls will come next year.) The English game is not languishing in America, as some people imagine. It is steadily increasing in popularity. A match played recently between Philadelphia ? and United America proved this. (By the way, America won). If terms can be arranged to the satisfaction of the Australians, who are a mercenary lot, we shall have a visit from them too. On the whole, the prospects of cricket in 1884, are interesting. Rumour assert that a new newspaper is shortly to appear in Paris with the remarkable title Le Journal Parle, and which is to consist entirely of dialogues, political, social, and otherwise, be- tween the various writers who constitute its staff. This idea at least possesses the rare merit of en- tire originality, aad it is even possible that it may be successful. For the writing of dialogue, with few exceptions so clumsily executed on this side the Channel is an art well understood by the rt witty Parisian, who knows how to turn this knowledge to the best advantage. Literati are awaiting the strange innovation with considerable impatience and curiosity. Mrs Langtry's return to America is simply a matter of business. Democratic curiosity to see an ex-Court beauty secures her audiences, and jvi therefore salaries, which she could not hope to obtain in this country. She is making money rapidly. In Australia, which she intends soon -v- to visit, it is questionable whether she will prove quite so great an attraction as in the States, but she will be well paid for going. It is said she is building a house for herself in America, but the rumour is explained by the fact of her having • L invested a little money in house-property. The dramatic version of Mr Burnett's novel, which was produced at the St James's on Satur- day, would have fared poorly had it been repre- sented by a mediocre company. It is the consummate skill of the artists that saves portions of the piece from falling hopelessly flat. The atory is simple and idyllic. It is an actor's play, not a scene painter's or even an author's. In Mr Hare with a wonderful make-up, Mrs Hermann Vezio, and Mrs Kendal we have artists whose capacity it wotill be impossible to surpass. They teU their part of he story delightfully. The piecea especially the Paris scenes in it. is splendidly mounted. There is a conservatory in it which is a new experience in stage decoration. It is composed of a choice collection of rare exotics for the supply of which a contract has been entered into with a well-known South Kensington florist. — Saturday saw the production at a Strand matinee of a new comic drama called Hard Up by Mr E. Righton. The reception accorded this clever work was most flattering. The highest praise I can give it is tilis.-If Dickens had been a dramatist, he would have written just suoh a work. THE ELECTIONS OF THE FUTURE. The next Parliamentary Election will be held sub- ject to the provisions of the Corrupt and Illegal Practices Prevention Act, 1883," which came into operation on the 15th of this month. What place will be the first to illustrate its workings is as yet hidden from the anxious gaze of whips and political associations. But wherever it be, the candidates and their agents are men who will deserve the highest commiseration. The task of conducting an election will be found as difficult as Mr Tennyson found that of writing in hendecasyllabics, requiring him to be careful of motion, like the skater on ice that hardly bears him." But as the accuracy of IMr Tennyson's ear guided him safely through the mazes of the fan- tastical and dainty metre, so. the candidate who relies on the uprightness of his own conduct, and absolutely repudiates any attempt to win his election by the length of his purse, or of his agents' experience, may see himself successfully through the pitfalls of an election. There is no doubt, however, that to do so he must cast to the winds all notions of conducting his election on the old lines, under the influence of the old ideas, and by the aid of the old instruments. No longer can there be any contest between the rival parties to forestall each other in the acquisition of publio-houses for committee-rooms, or in the employ- ment of all the flys, and cabs, and donkey-carts in the town for the conveyance of voters to the poll. Already the candidates' money may not be used in decorating the persons of their supporters with rib- bons, or in deafening the ears of their adversaries with brass bands now, it may no longer be expended in dazzling their eyes with torches. The pomp and panoply of war will :soon disappear from election struggles, and their absence may possibly make them even a little dull; but if only the metaphors drawn from war in election speeches would disappear too, on the balance there would, perhaps, be a diminution in dullness. Nor will the loafers of a town be able to look forward to an election as to a harvest of indus- trious idleness. The crowds of clerks who wrote nothing, and of messengers who never carried mes- sages except from one public-house to another, the watchers who got five shillings a day for looking at the watchers on the other side, the amateur bill-poster who received half-a-crown for putting a bill up and another half-crown for preventing its being torn down by guarding it-from the genial shelter of the nearest beershop, all these attendant shadows will have to disappear. They will not be able to stand the chilling Diascs 01 me new Aut-. It is not so much the wider definitions given to corrupt practices, the heavier penalties imposed on those who are guilty of them. and the extension of the classes of person? who can be guilty of them, which are likely to prove the most and effective provisions in the Act. They, no doubt, will have their effect. The extensions of the offence of treating" so as to hit all treaters, and not merely the candidate or his agent, and to hit also the person treated, is likely to diminish considerably, if it does not altogether stop the flow of beer and the consumption of beef which used to be such a marked feature of an election. The increase of the penalties for corrupt and illegal practices is also likely to make people shrink more than they have hitherto done from indulging in them. But an increase in the chances of punishment for an offence is more deterrent than an increase in the penalty. The presence of the Director of Public Prosecutions or his assistant at the trial of every election petition, with power, either vrovrio motu or by direction of the Court, to call witnesses and prosecute there and then any suspected I person for an offence under the Act, is likely to cause an Election Court to be regarded as less like a music hall, and more like a Criminal Court, than it has been hitherto. The fear that a man will find himself playing a principal part in a low tragedy, in which the catastrophe consists in being himself hauled off to prison, is more likely to be deterrent than the prospect merely of figuring at the expense of other people as the light walking gentleman in a low comedy. But stringent provisions against the commission of offences and stringent penalties and methods of detection have failed before, and may fail again. The provisions of the new Act which are likely to cause a real revolution in the conduct of elections are those directly and indirectly aimed at limiting expenses. The schedules to the Act are, as often happens, the most important part of it. When in boroughs, only one election agent, one polling agent in each polling station, and one clerk and one messenger and one committee room, for every 500 electors may be em. ployed, the candidate cannot, even if he would, corrupt a whole town by bribery disguised under the form of payment for services rendered. When, further, the total expenses are limited to X350, and an additional X30 for every 1,000 electors above 2,000, it is impossible, except in the very smallest boroughs, for a mere length of purse to carry the day. Nor can the limit set be easily or safely overpassed, as the candidate has to verify by declaration his agent's statement as to how much his expenses came to, and no payment may be made on their account except through an agent. If any such payments are made, if the maximum is exceeded, the election is void and if the declaration is false, not only is the election void, but the candi- date renders himself liable to seven years' penal ser- vitude for perjury. Nor will it (be easy for the can- didate's supporters to spend the money he cannot spend himself. Paying for the conveyance of voters to the poll in any way is an illegal payment, and by whomsoever made is an illegal practice, and subjects payer and payee to a fine of £100. Payments for exhibiting bills made to any one who is not a regular advertising agent payment for committee-roomis in excess of the authorised number, and paymeut of election expenses except through the election agent, have the same effect. Not only is the individual liable, but he invalidates the election as well. Nor is this all. Lending conveyances usually let for hire to convey voters to the poll, paying for bands, ribbons, torches, and banners, employment of persons in any way connected with the election otherwise than as authorised by the Act, subject the person offending to £ 100 fine, as for an illegal payment or employment, though the election is not thereby invalidated. No individual, however zealous, would venture to brave the penalty, when any of the other side could thus attack him in perfect safety, without the danger of an election petition and wholesale disclosures. The result is that it is almost impossible for the limits of expenditure laid down by the Act to be exceeded. Instead, therefore, of the next general election caus- ing the waste of several millions of money, it ought hardly to cause the expenditure of as many hundred thousands. Instead of voters being polled at the price of a pound or two pounds per head, they ought to be polled for as many, crowns. In the city of Winchester, for example, the ancient capital of England, the senior Member was returned in 1880 by something under a thousand votes, and his re. turned expenses exceeded £ 1,600. Under the present Act, they cannot exceed £350, or nearly one-fifth. In the counties, the change will be even greater. The free conveyance of out-vuters-that ruinous source of expenditure-is stopped, and the total expenditure onght not to be a Quarter of what it has been. But the greatest and most beneficial result of all is that henceforth the candidate must rely upon his own personal position and energy, or the voluntary services of others, for his success. As canvassers are not included amongst the persons who may be em. ployed for payment, it follows that they are ex- cluded. Neither the candidate nor any one else may employ paid canvassers. Canvassing, therefore, if it is to be done at all, must be done wholly by the voluntary efforts of unpaid canvassers. But if the would-be constituents work for nothing, it is quite certain that they will assume a greater share than they have hitherto enjoyed in the selection of candidates, and in the control of their conduct w hen elected. They will no longer tolerate the Member who goes into Parliament as a supporter of a party against whose leaders he persistently votes, when he has got there, trusting to the fears of dividing the party for his acceptance by the party at the next election. It was a black day for the politieal black-sheep when the corrupt Practices Act was passed. But the voluntary system has its dangers as wall as its benefits. It is probable that every member of the Association which is now formed in every enlightened constituency would become an authorised agent of the candidate. If the Association pays for the preparation of canvass-books, &c, independently of the candidate, it seems that those doing so would be guilty of an illegal practice. If they pay or return their paymonts through the election agent, they constitute themselves agents; their irregular acts, if by ignorance or zeal they com- mitted any, would affect the election. It is true that a kind of equity clause is inserted, which enables the Election Court to disregard a trivial breach of the law by an agent, when the candidate and his election agent are themselves free from guilt, and took all reasonable means to prevent it in others or even an important breach, when it was due to ignorance or inadvertence. But this clause may too probable rather take effect in making the sword of Justice uncertain in its stroke on the guilty, than in affording a certain shield for the innocent. It is probable, therefore, that the work of party organisations will be confined to getting and keeping the party together in non- election times, and the choice of candidates, rather than to helping candidates by canvassing in an election. The tendency will be, and indeed it ought to be, for candidates to look rather to speeches at public meetings and addresses in the Press, than to any system of canvassing. They will have to rely for winning the seat not on any craftily-organised system of begging or bribing voters, but on the real enthusiasm of the party for the principles they profess, aud on their own enthusiasm and power in I advocating them. -Spectatog-.

GARDENING FOR THE WEEK.I
GARDENING FOR THE WEEK. As far as beauty of the open garden i3 concerned, its glory is over for this season, but we have the various tints of rich colour- ing which many of our decidious trees assume at this declining period contrasting most charmingly with the somewhat sombre garb of the evergreens. The work of transplanting perennials for spring flowering should be done as soon as the ground can be got ready for them. Wallflowers and sweetwilliams should be got into the borders where they are to flower, as also should alyssums, feverfew, or pyrethrum, campanula, phlox, pansies, and double daisies. Irregular patches of snowdrops and crocuases should be dis- posed about every garden among other plants and shrubs, and when these bright yellow, purple, and white harbingers of spring put forth their delicate, welcome cups they form a pleasing con- trast to the surrounding green. Hardy sempervivums and sedums may now be planted to form edgings for spring beds; so also may yellow and white arabis and variegated pyrethrum. These plants when used in this way to such subjects as wall- flowers, mimulus, polyanthus, hypaticas, myosotis, sweetwilliama fcc., are very effective. Beds that are assuming a faded and shabby appearance should be cleared and got ready for bulbs by deep digging and adding tome fresh loam and thoroughly rotten manure—such, for instance, as may be procured from an old hotbed. Auriculas should have been got under cover ere this for the winter. The plants should be well looked over to see all is right that the drainage be perfect, and that no slugs are about. Where carnations have not yet been planted or potted, the work should be done at once, as it is highly essential they should be well established before winter; if potted, shutting them up close for a week will induce the more rapid growth of the shoots. Where not already done, all tender plants that need protection during wintei should be got up and potted before frost reaches them. All decayed leaves should be removed from time to time; indeed, the best plan is to pick off all the large outside leaves when the plants are taken. This applies particularly to such subjects as geraiuums; but, to ensure success, drynes during I winter and a situation where frost cannot penetrate are the principal things to be attended to. A.n important piece of work just now is to remove, as often and as rapidly as possible, all signs of decaying vegetation, as the whole appearance of the ground depends upon neatness and tidiness. By removing the dying foliage the plant is not only rendered more pleasing in appearance, but great benefit arises to its strength and growth. Cutting away straggling and unnecessary shoots relieves the plant, and allows the air freer circulation round about it. In the Kitclien Garden cabbage plants should be got out for i-uccession. Coleworts that have been left in the seed bed, if planted thickly between bushes and between raspberry rows, will be found very useful in early spring to fill up empty spaces. Aromatic herbs should now be planted—such as sage, thyme, sweet marjoram, &c. The roots of mint, tarragon, camomile, &c., may be divided and planted in rows a foot asunder. Every part of the garden should be kept free from weeds and leaves, which are a great plague at this season, but invaluable when callected and rotted. It is advisable to remove all half-decayed cabbage leaves from the plants, especially those near the ground, so as to encourage a free circulation of air among the crop and allow the sun to shine upon the ground that covers the roots.
WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT…
WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING I UPON US. Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. Many persons have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach sometimes a faint all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greenish colored expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sen- sation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high-coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frebuelltly a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart, the vision becomes impaired, with spots before the eyes there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present It is thought that nearly one-third of our population has this disease is some of its varied forms. It has been found that medical men have mistaken the nature of this disase. The disease is Dyspepsia or Indigestion, for vhich Seigel's Curative Syrup is a certain remedy. Seigel's Operating Pills are effective remedy for Constipation and Biliousness. Those afficted with Asthma will find im- mediate relief by using the Rosinweed Tar Mixture. Genuine has A. J.
