During the late Parliamentary campaign cam-paign in England a stump speaker is quoted as saying: "Gentlemen, I will not pretend to the possession of the sa- j gacity shown by Mi-. Frumenty. He is a barrister, a Q. C, and according to what his subsidized journal states, a learned man ; but permit me to tell vou that his great-grandmother mended chairs in the time of the Third George, and his wife's cousin four times removed is at the present time boarded and bedded at the expense of his downtrodden down-trodden country.

He is a political charlatan, whose panaceas are a cross between royster-mg royster-mg roguery and tinpot theft. His ideas are too little for a highwayman, and too large for larceny on a pettv scale." - - |
