vane of two vtnect Mr Paulton, M.P., baa been thirteen yean member for the Bishop Auckland Division. He was first elected in December, 1885. He cornea of a journalistic stock, and he himself has practised the profession. His father wae a prominent and staunch Free Trader, aad a great friend of the Bright family. He owes muoh of his steady and solid Radicalism to his early training.

He was introduced to the Bishop Auckland Division by Mr Jacob Bright, and the electors have never since regretted their choice. There are many of those who lieheve in his principles, and many who do not, who do not know that Mr Paulton has been a war correspondent. He went through the Soudan Campaign of 1884, the year before he entered upon public political life. One of his companions during that campaign was Mr Bennett Burleigh. Mr Paulton has muoh interesting matter to tell about his experiences, and it is little wonder, having seen the horrors of war, that he so strongly favours the present agitation for international peace.

The many friends of Mr Henry Hogget who has for some years been with Messrs Jackson and Jackson, of Middlesbrough, will be pleased to hear that he has successfully passed the solicitors' final examination held on the 16th and 17th alt the Nebraska Regimeac of the city.

Ever and again in the history of the world sentiments and principles have or me into operation entirely contrary to the policy which had been universally adopted up till that time.

The present prevailing ideas of political freedom were at one time almost inconceivable by the moat advanced thinkers and most daring reformers. It is a waste of energy to tail and vainly wish for the unattainable but it is worse, for it is the atrophy of all energy and faculty to abandon ideals and to cease to work for their accomplishment, because they are different from anything accomplished in the past Every epoch-making improvement is a complete breaking with the past, is a new birth, often a new birth unto righteousness or unto vitalities which render existence and institutions healthier and fresher. Everything is impossible until it has once been done; and in the case of seeking to realise peace and to bring a better feeling into international relationships why not strive to achieve the impossible or to do what has never been done before? Even if we fail the failure will mark an advance in the line of human progress, but if we never try enthusiasm will be deadened, while faith and hope in the triumph of righteousness and in the triumph of mere common sense will fall very low. If this happen the loss to the world in the abatement of the forces which carry men forward and keep great principles alive and vigorous will be vastly greater than any failure to carry these proposals into effect Nothing except weak despondency or cynical indifference can prevent them being so far carried into effect as to add immense strength to the sentiment of the common interests of humanity. At any rate it is a duty to cherish high hopes, and not to think it either wisdom or courage to cry, "There's a lion in the way." Hope, which is simply the blossom upon Resrimervt.

Lieutenant "Another Sufferer" writes in support of the appeal for a shelter for Tees pilots and assistants Having been a pilot for the Tees these last 45 years I can vouch for the accuracy of your correspondent's statement regarding a shelter for the Tees pilots and their assistants. have been agitating for years for such a place to be built on the breakwater both by applying personally and by writing to the authorities about it, and they even promised something should be done wbioh has to be done yet. I contend, sir, that it would be the greatest boon possible to the masters of ships, as well as to the pilots and their assistants. I could quote plenty of cases where masters of ships in very bad weather would have ventured to come inside if they could have seen a signal that a pilot was there ready to receive them when they got inside. Instead of that night has perhaps beea coming on, and they have had to put to sea again, and have another very unnecessary night at sea, whereas had there been a proper shelter, and a flagstaff to hoist a flag on, all that anxiety to the captain as well as loss to owners could be avoided.

The present one, which is called a shelter, is very little use, being, as your correspondent says, too far up the river, the masters of ships cannot see it from outside. There ia plenty of room to build a suitable shelter, and I think that the place where your correspondent suggests is a very convenient site, and would be beneficial all round. I hope you will give publicity to this."

Surely this is out of all reason, and the residents have a fair ground of complaint. Few people would object to the ringing of these 'aids to devotion if used simply to denote that it was time for church, but to be deafened nearly every night by the clanging of these bells is beyond all reason, and it is to be hoped that the kind-hearted Vicar will reduce this infliction to a minimum." takes; and while the third qualification of Sir Henry for the high office for which he is designated consists in the fact that of the occu were constantly at war with the Spaniards, in amounting to 804 2s 9d, and there were more cases awaiting settlement.

The "Times" Parliamentary correspondent says Although there will probably be no opposition to Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman at the meeting which is to be held to-day to elect the leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons, in succession to Sir Wm. Harcourt, it is understood that those Radicals who have been urging the desirability of adopting a resolution asking Sir Wm. Harcourt to reconsider his position, will at any rate press for the inclusion in the motion of regret of words making it clear that the party retain iheir coniidence in him.

The Order of the Meeting-Large numbers of Liberals were in London on Saturday preparing for the meeting at the Reform Club. The gathering will be thoroughly representative. All the Labour members who can find it convenient to attend have expressed their intention of being present. The situation was discussed with considerable animation in the National Liberal Club. So far as can be learned in advance Sir Frederick Maplin will move that Sir Wilfrid Lawson take the chair, and this will be seconded by Mr Charles Fenwick.

An effort is to be made to terminate the proceedings within an hour. Mr Pritchard Morgan reached London last night from China, having heard of Sir William Haroourt's resignation at Pekin. Sir Wilfrid Lawson's Parliamentary Wilfrid Law-son has established the right by seniority and continuous representation to preside at the Reform Club meeting. He was elected for Carlisle in April, 1859, and sat till Jury. 1865, when he was defeated.

For something like three years he was out in the wilderness, when he regained the seat, and retained it till 1885. In 1836 he was elected for the Cockermouth Division, which he has represented since.

Speaking of the attitude taken by the employers in regard to some of the cases, one of which the committee had agreed to take as a test case, Mr Wilson says that if the employers are right, and they prove their case, no one can find fault with them for taking advantage of the Act. They had a right to do so. The fault lies not with them, but with those who, trying to trim their political sails to more than one wind, liave by the crookedness of their course become the fnuners of a measure which in the history of our statute making will stand out prominently as the perfection of anomalies and confusion.

Recently there has been a remarkable revival of Shakespeare on the stage. Still more noteworthy is the development of the study of the works of the great dramatist in the public schools. The revolution which has been effected in our educational ideas and methods, though it has relegated Latin and Greek to a comparatively humble place, to make way for science and mathematics in their various departments, has not by any means depreciated the value of the study of the English language, and literature. Under the new or modern conditions of mental culture, Shakespeare more than holds his place. Even for this reason alone, the inclusion of the "Works of Shakespeare in the beautiful Everaley Series of Maomillan and must be considered peculiarly happy and timely.

THE POWDER FACT0KY SCHEME LN NOETHTTMBEELAND. A general conference of delegates from cooperative societies, miners' lodges, and powder funds in Northumberland was held in the Drill Hall, Morpeth, on Saturday to further consider the powder factory scheme. Mr R.

Wood, the president of the scheme, pro occupied the chair, and representatives were present from 46 societies 18 miners' ledges, 14 co-operative societies, and 14 powder funds. Mr Win. Straker, the secretary pro explained that at the last conference held at Morpeth it was decided to take steps to endeavour to establish a powder factory for the miners of Northumberland, and a committee of 15 was appointed. The committee subsequently met, and instructed the president and secretary to draft a circular, issue it to the various societies, and arrange another conference. The Chairman, after ex-' pressing pleasure at the good attendance, said the question of a powedr factory' had been before them for some time now, and they would be more or less conversant with the project.

He thought they had done the proper thing in bringing the question before the county, although the response Lad not been exactly what they anticipated. This he believed was due misunderstanding more than anything else. A factory could be erected at a cost of 20,000 a cost which an expert had told them might be vory much reduced. However, they took the higher figure, and the factory this money would erect would enable them to manufacture powder at the rate of 110 tons a month elightly more than was used in the county. He mentioned the ingredients and proportions used in the manufacture of the powder, and said the cost would be at the rate of 15 2s 6d per ton.

But then they got a finished article worth 25 a ton, realising, roughly, a gross profit of about 10 a ton The pnee now charged for powder was 26 10s. He put the price under their proposed factory rules atrZ5 or 30s a ton cheaper than it could be purchased at the present time. At 25 per ton a JT1 realiM 2,750, and after deducting LI, boo 15s as cost of ingredients, they had a gross profit of 1,086 5e. On a year's working he estimated the gross profits at 14.121 5 Against this be placed for cartage, carriage, wages of 40 men at 4 a week, 20 boys at fla week management expenses, and 5 per cent as depreci toon, the sum of 10,121 Ss Id. This left a net profit of 4,000 a sum sufficient to pay 20 per oant on every 1 share in the factory.

(Applause.) He then alluded to the decision of the Ashington Industrial Society as having been arrived at without due consideration; and the resolution of the Sea ton Delaval Society to send the question to the Wholesale Society he considered to be a convenient method of getting away from responsibility. The Wholesale Federation was composed of almost all sections of the com munity, many of whom, doubtless, knew nothing whatever about blasting powder or its uses. Some in London, perhaps, thought that miners tedt blasting powder to relieve a cold. (Laughter.) In his opinion this was an almost impossible way of bringing about the establishment of the factory. (Applause.) Mr Straker, at this point, read out the results of the consideration of the scheme at the various societies.

Mr J. MoCadl, New Hartley Powder Fund, moved that another circular setting forth that day's proceedings be issued to the various societies, and another conference arranged for a later date to hear the replies and take definite action Mr Robt. Lee, Bedhngton, seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr John Wilson, of Cambois. Mr Strong, Ashington, moved as an amendment that the Co-operative Wholesale discuss the matter before any further steps were taken. Mr P.

Reilly, New Hartley, seconded the amendment, which was supported by Mr Robt. Turnbull, Cowpen. The motion was adopted by IT votes to 11, many of the delegates having previously to leave to catch their trains. Bwaing reeiecuon he was rejected by six votes.

Nor do they mean to abandon Home Rule For the time being the Irish Nationalists and the English Liberals may claim freedom independently to seek other objects aa to which, it may be, their views conflict, but the Liberal party must continue to recognise the justice and the advantage legislative devolution as regards local or distinctly national affairs. Therefore, they must concur in the view that the extension to Ireland of Local Government, with its County and Parish Councils, is not an obstruction, but rather a help to the realisation of the Home Rule principle for wbich Mr Gladstone so strenuously fought. Still further. Liberalism must persist in upholding the principle of religious equality not by means of the weak device of concurrent endowment, but by the withdrawal from all sects of Government patronage and financial support They must be ready also when a favourable opportunity itself to produce and to apply their disestablishment remedy, and that opportunity seems to be maturing quickly. Sir Ed.

Grey on Saturday rendered no alight service to the public thought of the country by his resolute and uncompromising indentification of the Liberal hopes of tiie day with Liberal claims of the past Not the least valuable part of that service was the readiness he showed as a Liberal counsellor and advocate to take by the hand the occasion created by the troubles in the English Church. If," he said, the Bishops could not set the question in order, then Parliament must. In the long run- there were two alternatives either the State must dictate to the Church what its doctrines were to be, or the State must disestablish the reserves a special place.

Mr Martin, whose habit it is to contradict great and good men, and then ask questions after, asks Oan I tell him of any returns which show there is any religious teaching in half the Board achook of England:" I have told him of a recent return which shows only seven in which there is not.

But is a man to be trusted on a School Board which can so reflect upon the whole system, or show such rank ignorance of the case? or encourage or allow, his townsmen to entertain such supposition? Is it in half?" It is in all but a mere fraction.
