My dear Grace,

I have to thank you for a photograph of Brisbane received some little time ago, and now for your nice long letter of Dec 10th.


No doubt you have heard that beyond the fright and the inconvenience little harm was done by the fire at Linley Wood. It might have been a much more serious affair had it occurred at night instead of mid-day. Nothing then could have saved it.


As it is only the dining room and two rooms over it were burnt. And the pictures, china, valuables and furniture were saved with very little damage to the latter.


Posy was staying with us. Her room was quite burnt and she lost everything except her jewels which, wonderful to say, were all ultimately recovered from the debris which had fallen into the dining room below it.


But the Insurance has behaved very liberally so it really will be a case of exchanging “old lamps for new” and all her best gowns were safe in another part of the house. So only that round bow looking to the [flower?] garden has to be rebuilt.


The other rooms were of course more or less damaged by the water with the windows destroyed to get out the furniture which was done for precaution, as there was no telling how far the fire would extend.


As it happened none of the rooms from the drawing room and breakfast room upwards need have been disturbed. Everything is to be restored as before I believe.


Of course the whole dear old place presented a scene of devastation grievous to behold but my dear sisters were none the worse for the shock and are very comfortably settled in London for the time. They expect to be able to return home in June I think. I will tell them of your wish about the Marsh Portraits.


The suffrage our household has happily totally escaped so far. One of the four houses I know where it has not paid a visit. Duke [Crofton] had it rather severely but has now recovered, also Lady Lefroy, the children slightly. Maude bravely “stood to her guns” and nursed all the invalids. She and Duke [Crofton] are coming to town on a visit next week and come to us on their way home. 


They will meet Amy who is taking her two girls to London for a weeks sight seeing whilst Edie, the eldest goes to Heathyfield, Harry’s house[?]. May, their sister, is now at Algiers for the benefit of her health. Amy’s youngest boy has now gone to school and it is generally a very small quiet party at Brighton now. A great difference since you were here.


We hope Harry’s sight is rather better than otherwise but whether or no he is perfectly independent and thinks nothing of walking all the way alone to Aldershot and back and lunching at the Artillery Mess. I do not think any one can be happier than he is in spite of his great misfortune which would quench most people entirely. He has an excellent, devoted and talented wife. [Helen Milman, Mrs Caldwell Crofton] She is bringing out a new book and drawing all the illustrations for it. They have constant visitors and are very popular in the neighbourhood.


Dick is well and content. I think your prognostication will not come true in his case. He seems quite satisfied to remain a bachelor and his Battery in which he takes the greatest interest seems family enough for him, and a very well constructed family too and has just passed a splendid inspection and received no end of praise.


We hope he will get leave this summer and that we shall have the joy of seeing him safe and well.


You do not give a very bright account of Australian prospects, but what can be expected when the power is practically in the hands of the ignorant and selfish majority whose only idea is self-interest without a gleam of patriotism and absolutely influenced by the wire pullers who think only of place and have no respect for Truth and Facts.


I feel glad I have not to live in the 20th Century. But I may be all wrong and sincerely hope I am and that these gloomy forebodings are only a symptom of old age.


I wonder if you would like this gloomy foggy day better than your brilliant sun and the heat thereof. We have had very little of that for the last two years. The rewards for the loss of our dear [grand Prince?]  (Prince Albert) has been very unwelcome he was so amiable and so promising and all the circumstances were so touching and tragic.


Lord Dudley married a Miss Gurney, niece of  Val. [Princey, Bing?] the artist. She was brought up by the Duchess of Bedford as her father has been in “hiding” for years. I know not for what offence and her mother does not bear a good character so the marriage was anything but pleasing to his mother. But the young [man?] is doing so very well since his marriage that she must have a good influence. They say he is very clever.


Herbert Heath has a little daughter born to him in Valetta. All her family are with her there now.

 

My dear husband is in his usual health. I am my dear Grace affectionately yours, Frances Crofton

The Home District Tactical & War Game Society. 
Our Door Tactical Exercise. 
Third Day, Monday 29th February - the Defence of Leith Hill - Having successfully delayed the advance of the enemy for the period required to complete the British concentration on the Leigh Hill position, the next task for the officers of the Home  District Tactical and War Game Society was to assist in designing the defense of the central position - - - West Kent - Engineers  - Captain Heath R.E.,  - - - 


After receiving final instructions from Colonel Smith at the rendezvous at Anstie Farm, the officers departed to their respective positions to consider the necessary steps to be taken - - -The rendezvous for the afternoon was the hill above Coldharbour, at 1.30. Starting from thence, the party traversed to the top of Leith Hill to the western flank above Tanhurst - - -On the defending force being driven out of Broome Hall it was to be occupied, and a strong column was to endeavour to penetrate towards Coldharbour and Anstie Farm to join hands with the main attack, which was to be delivered on Anstie Grange and Farm from the east and north-east through Redlands Wood. 
In the evening after mess (which it should have been stated was established at the "Red Lion," Ockley) a very cordial and well-deserved vote of thanks was passed by the officers present to Lieutenant-Colonel Smith and Major Satterthwaite for the trouble they had taken in arranging and carrying out the exercise. - - -

More about local Names
Leith Hill is one of the common instances of a names repeated after its meaning is forgotten, for Hlith used to mean a steep brow or hill. People forgot that and added Hill to it. I has been suggested that Leith Hill is connected with the old word Leod, meaning people, but it will not do; the modern English form of Leod is lewd; and word has become degraded in its meaning lately, but lewd people used only to mean ordinary people. I wonder what named Cockshott's Farm? It may have been the name of a man, but a hollow or gap was sometimes, why I do not know, called a "cockshot." So in a poem published in 1651 we read "Great winds make cockshots through the woods, rending down mighty oaks." 


So possibly the name refers to the gap in the hill, Windy Gap. One name I know here taken from a man's name. The field below the church is Chasemores. In the reign of Charles the Second, the then owner of Kitlands bought some land from his brother-in-law, Chasemore. Was this the land? So even here, you see, there are bits of history to be got out of names. I will talk about some more some day if people like it.

Prize List of the Coldharbour Industrial Exhibition
The wonderful village has 600 parishioners. Ins industrial exhibition held in a Kitlands meadow, last Tuesday, had over 5,000 exhibits; There were indeed nearly 600, but only 500 represented the work of the parishioners. What thing more forcible could we say in praise of Coldharbour folk if we wrote a volume?  - - -

Coldharbour - The Industrial Exhibition
The Coldharbour Industrial Exhibition, which was started in 1882, has been attended with a remarkable measure of success, and the fifth exhibition, which took place in a tent erected in the grounds of Mr Heath's residence, Kitlands, on Tuesday afternoon, was fully as successful as any of the preceding years' displays. The weather, though dull and threatening, was, on the whole, not unfavourable to the gathering, and during the afternoon a large number of visitors attended the tent, where, under the charge of Mrs Malden, who has had the entire management of the exhibition, a tempting display of fancy and useful articles, almost wholly the work of the villagers, was set out in a most tasteful manner.  - - -


Mr Malden contributed a large number of rare and valuable curiosities. Amongst these there were a number of ancient flint implements found in the Stonestreet, Roman tiles, and pottery, part of an ancient oak coffin found at Ockley, and a fragment of the room in which the famous ball was held on the eve of the battle of Waterloo.  - -


A model of Leith Hill Tower in brick and stone, sent by Mr George Knight, was much admired, as was also a remarkably well-constructed dulcimer sent in by the same exhibitor who took the prize for best article exhibited.  - - - -


During the afternoon the drum and fife band of the village played a selection of music, and tea was provided in a tent on the grounds of Mr Henry Roffey, of Coldharbour. The beautiful grounds surrounding the house were kindly thrown open by Mr Heath, and a large number of visitors availed themselves of the opportunity afforded to them.

Bardney - Mr A. R. Heath M.P., addressed his constituents in the Wesleyan School-room on Friday evening last. The hon. member had spent the day in canvassing the village, and announced his satisfaction at the result of his visitation. Mr W. Carter, of Bucknell, presided, and Dr Fawcett, of Louth  was also on the platform. The room was fairly filled, and though undoubtedly the vast majority of the persons present were Liberals, yet a fair hearing was given to Mr Heath who spoke for about an hour and a half. - - - -


On an attempt being made to pass a vote of thanks to Mr Heath, about twenty hands were held up. There were loud cries of "Contrary" when quite three-fourths of the assembly held up their hands. The result of the meeting only goes to confirm that of the recent County Council election, and the magnificent meetings of Messrs Perks and Fox here a fortnight ago. - - -

St.Saviour's Church, Talke.
A sale of work, organised with the object of further augmenting the fund for the erection of an organ in St.Saviour's Church, Talke, was opened on Monday at Linley Wood (by kind permission of the Misses Marsh-Caldwell), and continued on Tuesday.


The need of an organ for the church has long been felt, and a sum of £130 has already been raised from collections and donations. By the sale it is hoped to realise a substantial sum towards the balance of about £220 required for a first-class instrument. Two marquees and a tent were erected within the hall grounds, and an abundant variety of useful and ornamental articles were tastefully displayed on the stalls which were presided over by the following ladies: - Choir and Bible Class stall. Mrs Crimes, Miss Twemlow, and Miss Williams: Linley Wood Household stall, Miss Hyde and Miss Tibbetts, Rectory Stall, Miss McHutchin, Miss Wood and Miss Trusttrum;  - - -


A fairly numerous company assembled at the opening ceremony, amongst those present being the Revs. M.W.McHutchin (Blurton), D. Shaw (Alsager), the Misses Marsh-Caldwell, Miss Shaw, the Misses Poole, Mr J. Loring, Mr J. Crimes, Mr J.Booth and others. 


The Rev.M.W.McHutchin,  - - thanked Miss Marsh-Caldwell and the family for the kind interest they had always taken in matters connected with the church in the parish. It was a very large degree owing to the liberality of the ladies of Linley Wood that the parish possessed such a commodious church in the Butt Lane district.The site was given by the late Mrs Marsh-Caldwell, and the ladies of the family had contributed in cash upwards of £1,400 towards the building fund, and although they were by no means the largest landed proprietors in the parish, the large portion of their estate being in the neighbouring county of Cheshire, they had been to all good works most liberal and generous friends. He thanked them for allowing the sale to be held in their beautiful grounds , and Miss Marsh-Caldwell for opening the sale. 


On behalf of himself, the churchwardens, and the committee, he offered them their warmest congratulations on their return to Linley Wood. The whole parish sympathised with them when the disastrous fire drove them from their midst, and now rejoiced that they had been spared to return (applause). - Miss Marsh-Caldwell then declared the sale open,and in doing so thanked the vicar and the parishioners for the kindness extended to them during the many years they had resided in the district. She also thanked the vicar for being the means of increasing the congregation at St.Saviour's Church by choosing a clergyman (the Rev. A. Trustram) for whom the people had an affection  - - - 


Tuesday's takings amounted to £37 5s. 9d. which with £75 12s. 6d, the first day's proceeds, makes a total of £112 18s. 3d.

Bazaar at Odd Rode.

A two days' bazaar and fancy fair in aid of the Odd Rode National Schools was opened in the Tenant's Hall, on Tuesday afternoon in the presence of the leading residents of the district.


The opening ceremony was performed by General Sir Richard Wilbraham K.C.B., who, after briefly stating the objects of the bazaar, remarked that the parish of Odd Rode once formed part of the large parishg of Astbury with its 3,000 souls, but that it had grown so rapidly and so  extensively that it had now a population of its own of about 3,000 (Applause.).

Enthusiastic Conservative Meeting at Dorking
One of the most successful political meetings which has been seen for many years in Dorking was held on Monday evening at the Public Hall in support of the candidature of Mr Henry Cubitt for the Reigate Division of Surrey.


The large room was well filled with a thoroughly representative audience, and the proceedings throughout, in spite of the occasional noisy demonstrations of a few Radicals at the lower end of the hall, were of a nature calculated to be most gratifying to the Conservative party in the division. For nearly two hours the audience followed with closest attention the series of able addresses delivered by the various speakers. - - - 


The Chairman (Mr Henry Lee Steere) in opening the proceedings said he was sure they would all be sorry to learn that through ill-health Mr Barclay, the chairman of the Conservative Association was unable to take the chair. The Chairman then read the following letter from Sir L.G. Heath R.N., K.C.B.,: -  "My dear Barclay. - I am very sorry that a previous engagement will prevent me joining you on Monday night. I should have much liked to swell the numbers that will, I hope gather to welcome our young candidate. I wish you a successful meeting, and that to him it may be the beginning of a long and useful career. - Very truly yours.L.G. Heath." Letters had also been received from   - - -

Mr D'Eyncourt, of Bayons Manor, Tealby, on behalf of the Ruling Councillor, moved - "That this meeting desires to express its continued confidence in Lord Salibury's Government, and also in Mr Heath, the Unionist member for the Louth Division of Lincolnshire." Mr C. Fieldsend, of Kermond, seconded the resolution, which on being put to the meeting, was carried unanimously.


Mr A.R. Heath M.P., in the course of an excellent speech, said he was very glad to be amongst them, because they were on the eve of a very important crisis in the history of this country. The dissolution would very soon take place, and in three weeks from that time they and the rest of the people of the United Kingdom would have to decide again, as they decided in 1886, what that kingdom was to remain united or whether it was to be dissolved for a time only - - -

Inauguration of a new Road at Mow Cop.


On Monday afternoon a new road which has been in progress of formation for twelve months was opened to public traffic at Mow Cop. The road opens at what is known at "Brake Corner," Mount Pleasant, and proceeds to Mow Cop, a distance of 800 yards. On either side of the road a rail fence has been fixed, underneath which quick-sets has been set. 


The road has been macadamised with stones obtained from the immediate neighbourhood, and where the declivities of the road have been raised, and it has been found necessary to do go, it has been pillared every three or four yards. The inhabitants bought a portion of land known as Plant's ground for the sum of £20 whilst the Misses Marsh-Caldwell gave the Highway Board carte blanch so far as land in their possession was required. 


£1 was given to Mr Antrobus for the land ceded by him. The work has been done under the direction of Mr E. Massey, surveyor, and Mr F. Stonier, way warden. It may be stated that the road save a tollage which has been previously paid by the inhabitants from having to go by horse and cart through Lear's Yard.

Unionist Meeting at Coldharbour.


On the evening of Friday week a lecture was given at the Institute by Admiral Sir Leopold Heath K.C.B., "on the duty of electors in the present crisis." The chair was taken by Mr C.E. Heath.


Sir Leopold Heath said he thought it right that as Mr Barnes and the Liberal van had recently been in the village, an opportunity should be given to the electors of hearing what was to be said on the other side. 


After explaining that he thought it better in a small village like Coldharbour that friends and neighbours should address the electors rather than the more eloquent professional politicians, he said - Mr Barne's Statements. 


I have observed in the short abstract given in the local papers that Mr Barnes made two statements which were absolutely untrue - inaccurate I believe is the civil word to use.
The first was that the Tory party were in the habit of going to war for the sake of turning the people away from discussing social questions. Why, is the great boast of Lord Salisbury's followers that by his skillful handling of foreign affairs he has avoided war through the whole period during which he has held office, while Mr Gladstone, in his previous administration, not only spent our money in actual war, but wasted £11,000,000 in panic preparation for war with Russia over a dispute which was peacefully settled by Lord Salisbury almost directly he came into office.


Does any one in this room suppose that if Lord Salisbury had been in office the Egyptian war would have been carried on in the way it was carried on by Mr Gladstone? Would that grand hero Gordon have been sacrificed? Would the great commercial city of Alexandria have been bombed and burnt. 


Really if Mr Barnes had not been a reckless speaker he never could have given utterance to the sentence I complain of.


The second statement made by Mr Barnes to which I object was that until the Whigs passed the Ballot Act the electors of Coldharbour were coerced by their employers into voting as they wished. 


Now really, for a gentleman aspiring to represent this great constituency, Mr Barnes is singularly ignorant of the modern history of his country, for the Ballot Act was passed in 1884, so that there were next to no voters in Coldharbour previous to the Ballot Act. 
I now leave Mr Barnes and pass on to the subject of my lecture.
Home Rule.


Home Rule will be the main point on which the coming election will turn, and I entreat you most earnestly to drop for the moment all consideration of party, and whether you be Whigs or Tories, Radicals or Conservatives, to consider with all sincerity and with earnest purpose which way you would vote if the question were before you only on its merits.


It is far too serious and too important to be mixed up with the question of whether Lord Salibury should retain power or Mr Gladstone replace him. Separate it in your minds from these petty party politics. Take it by itself and say whether it is wise or unwise - whether it is right or wrong - whether is is good for the Irish or bad for the Irish - whether it is on the whole good for your country or bad for your country. 


The first thing you have to find out when endeavouring to make up your mind is
What is Home Rule.


Mr Gladstone won't tell you what he means. Sir Vernon Harcourt tells you one thing, Mr Redmond tells you another, and Mr McCarthay something else, but whatever the exact scheme may be it is certain to place the destinies of the unfortunate inhabitants of Ireland in the hands of men whose acts have shown them perfectly unfit to rule - men who invented the wicked and illegal plan of campaign - men who invented the wicked and more uncharitable system of boycotting - men who have allowed their subordinates unchecked to commit murder and other atrocities, sometimes firing at unresisting old men, sometimes shamefully ill-treating women and girls, whose only fault was being related to men who had dared to rent the land of evicted tenants, sometimes torturing poor brute beasts in order to punish their owners.


Moreover, these men whom Mr Gladstone would establish as rulers of Ireland will be under the control of the Roman Catholic priests, and so distasteful is this prospect  to your fellow Protestants, by whom the great province of Ulster is mostly inhabited,that they are about to hold an enormous meeting to protest against what is called Home Rule in any shape.
An Appeal to "Friends and Neighbours." 


Now, I earnestly ask you as friends and neighbours  - I ask you as Englishmen - I ask you as Protestant Christians - can you with clear conscience give your votes to Mr Barnes, who would use his position as your representative to forward this miserable Home Rule scheme? 


I would urge you who are attached to the Liberal Party to abandon it for the moment. In so doing you will be following the very best and most thoughtful members of the party, the late Mr Bright, Lord Hartington, now the Duke of Devonshire, Sir Henry James, Mr Chamberlain, Mr Jessie Collings, who is emphatically the agricultural labourer's friend, and very many others. 


I will only add on this all-engrossing topic that whatever drastic measures might have been required in the state in which Ireland was when Mr Gladstone proposed the scheme in 1885, none such can now be wanted.


Lord Salisbury at that time named 20 years of just rule between man and man as necessary to bring Ireland into the condition of a civilised nation. At that time murders for agrarian or political reasons were of daily occurrence, and the murderers were no respecters or persons, the victims ranging from Lord Edward Cavendish and Mr Burke to the humblest cottagers who had offended against the Land League. 


Let Well Alone.


I ask you to compare the state of Ireland now with the state of Ireland then, and say whether Lord Salisbury  - - - (rest illegible)

The colonial presentation at Monday's and Wednesday's drawing-rooms were, despite the number of Australians in London just now, very few. I fancy your ladies are not consumed with the ambition to go to court that appears to burn in the bosom of every properly-constituted American dame. They realise that a court dress costa about £150 to £200, that the function itself is of a terribly tiring and depressing character, and that the amount of social prestige acquired by the act is in most cases infinitesimal.


Lady Knutsford, or course, will readily sponsor any Australian lady for whose position and respectability an Agent-General will vouch.

The Progress of the Fight - Sir Leopold Heath and Mr Malden - Address to Coldharbour Electors. - Irish Members Denounced as Condoners of Murders - A Coldharbour Council and Nothing to do.


Admiral Sir Leopold Heath K.C.B., recently gave a lecture at Coldharbour Institute, on "The Duty of Electors in the present crisis." The chair was taken by Mr C.E. Heath.


Sir Leopold Heath K.C.B., said he thought it right that, as Mr Barnes and the Liberal van had recently been in the village, an opportunity should be given to the electors of hearing what was to be said on the other side. After explaining that he thought it better in a small village like Coldharbour that friends and neighbours should address the electors rather than the more eloquent professional politicians, he said:

Does any one in this room suppose that if Lord Salisbury’ had been in office the Egyptian war would have been carried on in the way it was carried on by Mr. Gladstone? Would that grand hero Gordon have been sacrificed. Would the great commercial city Alexandria have been 
BOMBARDED AND BURNT ? 


Really if Mr. Barnes had not been a reckless speaker he never could have given utterance to the sentence I complain of. The second statement made by Mr. Barnes to which I object was that until the Whigs passed the Ballot Act the electors of Coldharbour were coerced by their employers into voting as they wished. 


Now really, for a gentleman aspiring to represent this great constituency, Mr. Barnes is singularly ignorant of the modern history of his country, for the Ballot Act was passed in 1872, and you did not get your votes until, I think, 1884, so that there were next to no voters in Coldharbour previous to the Ballot Act. 


I now leave Mr. Barnes and pass on to the subject of the lecture. 


Home Rule will be the main point on which the coming election will turn, and I entreat you most earnestly to drop for the moment all consideration of party, whether you be Whigs or Tories, Radicals, Conservatives to consider with all sincerity and with earnest purpose which way you would vote if the question were before you only on its merits. It is far too serious and too important to be mixed up with the question of whether Lord Salisbury should retain power or Mr. Gladstone replace him. Separate it in your minds from these

Mr Redmond tells you another, and Mr M. McCarthy something else, but whatever the exact scheme may be it is certain to place the destinies of the unfortunate inhabitants of Ireland in the hands of men whose acts have shown them perfectly unfit to rule - men who invented the wicked and illegal plan of campaign. - Men who invented the still more wicked and uncharitable system of boycotting - men who have 


Allowed Their Subordinates


unchecked to commit murder and other atrocities, sometimes firing at unresisting old men, sometimes shamefully ill-treating women and girls, whose only fault was being related to men who had dared torrent the land of evicted tenants, sometimes torturing poor brute beasts in order to punish their owners. Moreover, these men whom Mr Gladstone would establish as rulers of Ireland will be 


Under the Control


of the Roman Catholic priests, and so distasteful is this prospect to your fellow Protestants, by whom the great province of Ulster is mostly inhabited, that they are about to hold an enormous meeting to protest against what is called Home Rule in any shape. Now, I earnestly ask you as friends and neighbours - I ask you as Englishmen - I ask you as Protestant Christians - can you with clear conscience give your votes to Mr Barnes, who would use his position as your representative to forward this miserable Home Rule scheme? I would urge you who are attached to the Liberal party to abandon it.


For the Money


In doing so you will be following the very best and more thoughtful members of teh party, the late Mr Bright, Lord Hartington, now the Duke of Devonshire, Sir Henry James, Mr Chamberlain, Mr Jesse Collings, who is emphatically the agricultural labourer's friend, and very many others. I will only add on this all-engrossing topic that whatever drastic measures, might have been required in the state in which Ireland was when Mr Gladstone proposed his scheme in 1885, none such can now be wanted. Lord Salisbury at that time named 20 years of just rule between man and man as necessary to bring Ireland into the condition of a civilised nation. At that time murders for agrarian or political reasons were 


of Daily Occurrence,


and the murderers were no respectors of persons, with the victims ranging from Lord Edward Cavendish and Mr Burke to the humblest cottagers who had offended against the Land League.


I ask you to compare the state of Ireland now with the state of Ireland then, and say whether Lord Salisbury has not been more than justified. Even six years of Mr Balfour's firm and just rule has sufficed to make Ireland a well-ordered country, and as safe and comfortable to live in as Coldharbour itself. Then I beseech you to "Let well alone." and to vote for Mr Cubitt, the Unionist, and prevent Mr Gladstone from again starting the demon of dissension and bringing about strife and misery where there seems now to be calm and happiness.


Let Poor Ireland Alone;


she has had sufferings enough in the past, and let her now rest in the peace she has happily found under the wise rule of Lord Salisbury and the wise laws which have been passed for her benefit in recent years. I don't ask you to change your politics. Be Liberals still. Be Radicals still, but separate this burning question, this question which is, as I conceive, vital to your country's interests from party politics. It has no business there. In this coming Parliament there will be 


No Question of Whigs or Tories


it will be Unionist or Separatists, Imperial greatness or Imperial weakness, and if, as I fervently hope, you are at all influenced by what I have said, vote now for Mr Cubitt and the Union, and when the Irish question has been settled, and a new Parliament summoned, go back if you please to Mr Barnes.


I will now pass from Ireland to general politics. I may as well begin by confessing that I am what is commonly called a rat. The best years of my life were, as you know, passed at sea. At that time I was not much of a politician, but I always called myself a Liberal, believing that in olden days the country was much more indebted to that party than to the Conservatives. What first offended me was Mr Gladstone's miserable mismanagement of foreign affairs. The Disgraceful Business after our defeat at Majuba Hill, the fiasco of the Egyptian War with its enormous expense and terrible and unnecessary loss of life, the miserable desertion of Gordon and the un-English and fatal delay in the attempt at rescuing him. Then came the introduction of his extraordinary Home Rule Bill which confirmed me as an anti-Gladstonian, and I have been more and more confirmed in that wisdom of my decision by seeing what thoroughly good Radicals are Lord Salisbury and his ministry. The alliance with the Liberal Unionists has, I suppose, induced this change, but it is an established fact that the Tory of old days no longer exists.


Look at the good measures, the Radical measures as I call them, which Lord Salisbury has passed. There is the Allotment Act. Mr Glastone, as you know, came in on the cry of three acres and a cow, and, being in forgot all about it. Lord Salisbury came in on no such cry, but quietly produced and passed his Bill,


Under which 100,000 Extra Allotments


have already been been made. Which of them in this matter showed himself the people's friend? You cannot help answering, Lord Salisbury. Then, I say, vote for Cubitt. Now take free education. Mr Gladstone talked - rather against it if I remember rightly - but Lord Salibury acted, and removed upwards of £2,000,000 a year from the backs of the poorer classes and placed it upon the general taxes. Again I ask which of them in this matter showed himself the people's friend? Lord Salisbury, must be your answer, and therefore I again say, go and vote for Cubitt.


I cannot go into all the admirable laws passed by Lord Salisbury's Government during the splendid six years of his ministry, but I must mention the reduction of interest on the National Debt, equivalent in the long run to a reduction of £5,000,000 of capital. Mr Gladstone had tried his hand at this and failed. Then there is the safety of our glorious country from invasion or starvation by the creation of a splendid fleet and the fortification of our coaling stations abroad. The possibility of such a catastrophe is no hobgoblin, raised up by alarmists, but it becomes probably or improbably,


According to the Strength


of our Navy, as compared with that of possible enemies. I have been in wars myself, and I trust the fair fields of old England may long be spared from the horrors which I saw on the battle-fields of Alma and Inkerman. Here we find Mr Gladstone wasting our money in extravagance and waste in the panic preparations for war, whilst Lord Salisbury calmly and quietly carried out in the midst of peace the well-known proverb, that "if you wish for peace you must prepare for war," and has given us a fleet equal to that of any two continental nations. Which has shown the greatest wisdom? Lord Salisbury, you must answer. Therefore, I say, vote for Cubitt.

Sir Leopold then touched upon County Councils, which he described as a thoroughly Radical measure, and, whilst advocating District Council, drew an amusing description of a Coldharbour Parish Council, with its hall and secretary, but not work to do. As to the Small Holdings Act, he said he personally did not think it would be of much use, as he thought a labouring man with steady work  would be better off than with ten acres in his own hands; but, he said, it was an honest attempt to give a chance to a hard-working agricultural labourer


To Raise Himself


in the world. Sir Leopold then pointed out that a the measures passed by Lord Salisbury's Government had been of a Radical or Liberal nature, it might be said that they were measures which they might have expected from a Liberal Government, and that, therefore, it was matter of indifference in this respect for which side an elector voted; but, he continued - 

There is a vital difference between them, that with the Liberal domestic measures of Mr Gladstone you must swallow Home Rule and the placing of poor Ireland under the heel of the men whose wickedness I have before described. You must run the risk of the consequences of forcing the rule upon


Your Fellow-Religionists


in Ulster. You must run the risk of again upsetting Irish society from top to bottom. Finally, you must run the risk of weakening your grant country by the separation from it of an important portion. Therefore I say, remove this incubus from the shoulders of your party, and become for the moment Liberal Unionists. As I have point out, if you vote for the Unionists you are not voting for a party which does not understand the wants of the times,but you will be voting for men who have a splendid record of practical work done in the last six years, and you must judge what they will do if again returned by what they have done in the past. On the other hand, what does Mr Gladstone offer you? First and foremost Home Rule, with all the objections to it which I have described, and then, as against the practical work which you may expect from Lord Salisbury, theoretical and philosophical tinkerings with the Constitution. One man one vote for instance. In theory the present system

is Indefensible,


for there is no reason why a man with 10,000 acres in the middle of Surrey should have a vote for Surrey alone, whilst if his 10,000 acres were on the border line between Surrey and Sussex he should have a vote for Sussex also; but is it not a trivial anomaly, and is it not mere childishness to make a great party cry? Then there is the payment of members, which, if carried, must logically be followed up by payment of County Councillors, vestry-men, and so on, involving an enormous costs, and worse than that diminishing the independence of our public men. Then there are triennial Parliaments and other fantastical proposals in the Newcastle programme, but I repeat if you, the Liberals in this room, prefer these philosophical changes to the solid work, such as tackling with 


The Great Labour Question


for which Lord Salisbury is by his great Commission already preparing, well and good, but remember that you cannot have them without bringing upon poor Ireland the sorrows I have before described. You cannot have them without risking the weakening of your great country. Therefore, I say once more, let well alone, and vote, at least at this election, for Cubitt and the Union, or don't vote at all.


Mr Malden (formerly examiner in Constitutional law, London University) also spoke. He said he always distrusted the promises held out by any political party that they would make everybody happy by minding their business for them.  - - - 


The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to Sir Leopold for his able and instructive lecture.

Coldharbour
Correction - In our report last week of the lecture delivered at Coldharbour by Admiral Sir Leopold Heath  K.C.B., the reduction of the national debt should have been by a sum equivalent to £100,000,000 capital, not £10,000,000 as printed; and in the passage of the Small Holdings Act, "60 acres" should have read "10 acres."

The sturdiest Unionist utterances we record this week, are those of Sir Leopold Heath and Mr Malden. The feeblest - for this occasion only - is that of Sir Trevor Lawrence of Oxted. He virtually suggests, that in facing the great constitutional questions involved in this struggle, the voter should decide for whom to vote by ascertaining which candidate has subscribed most liberally to the local Cottager's Skim Milk Society, etc.  - - - In justice to Sir Trevor Lawrence, we must admit we never heard this sort of talk from him before, and probably never shall again.

Cubitt, Sir Leopold Heath, Mr Henry Cubitt, Colonel de Cetto, Mr Cuthbert Heath, Mr Beresford Melville, Mr Arthur Chaldecott, &c.


The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, referred at some length to the Home Rule question, which he said was still the great point of the election.  - - - 


Mr Henry Cubitt, who was received with cheers, said the government of Ireland during the past six years had been carried pm well and efficiently - - - The Naval Defence Act showed up the disgraceful state in which Mr Gladstone had left the Navy. He could not help referring to the Navy when sitting near Sir Leopold Heath, who had been such an ornament of it (cheers).  - - 


Sir Leopold Heath referring to Mr Barnes's address, said a man who could write such bombastic nonsense was not the right man for them to send to Parliament (cheers). He asked them to support Mr Henry Cubitt soley on the ground that he was a Unionist and his opponent a Home Ruler (cheers). He denied that Home Rule was a Liberal measure, and it was extraordinary that it should ever have been made a party question. What was there in it that made it necessary that a Liberal should be a Home Ruler, and a Conservative a Unionist?


The fact was that Mr Gladstone in a fit of despair at the failure of his attempts to govern Ireland introduced the Bill, and was followed by those over whom he had gained great influence. The Bill might be Gladstonian but it was not Liberal (cheers). Sir Leopold Heath went on to refer at some length to the Ulster Convention, and appealed to his hearers to support Mr Cubitt against a policy of Home Rule. He moved "That this meeting of electors is of opinion that Lord Salisbury's Government has deserved well of the country, and having heard the views of Mr Henry Cubitt as a firm supporter of Lord Salisbury's policy, approve of his canditdature and promises him hearty support." (cheers.).  - - - 


Mr Cuthbert Heath also supported the motion, and asked who Mr Barnes was that he should dare to accuse the Government of misrepresentation and corruption (cheers). Mr Cubitt was a generous-minded and sympathetic gentleman (cheers).

Mr Cubitt in Holmwood.

On Thursday evening a meeting in support of Mr Henry Cubitt's candidature was held at the Iron Room, near the Norfolk Arms, Holmwood. There was a crowded attendance. Colonel Helsham Jones presided, and was supported by the Right Hon. G. Cubitt, Sir Leopold Heath, Mr Henry Cubitt, Colonel de Catto, Mr Cuthbert Heath, Mr Beresford Melville, Mr Arthur Chaldecott, &c.


The Chairman, in opening the proceedings referred at some length to the Home Rule question, which he said was still the great point of the election. The main questions they had to keep before them, he thought, were the following: FIrst, has or has not the Government of Lord Salisbury shown that Ireland can be governed without Home Rule? (cheers). Secondly, is the union of hearts a reality or a sham? and, thirdly, has it been possible to proceed with useful legislation for the country at large in the Imperial Parliament or had it jnot? (cheers).  - - -continues - - - 


The Naval Defence Act showed up the disgraceful state in which Mr Gladstone had left the Navy. He could not help referring to the Navy when sitting near Sir Leopold Heath, who had been such an ornament of it (cheers).  - - -continues - - -

As we have already said, the final contest in Lincolnshire took place in the Louth Division yesterday (Friday), when the seat so flukily won for the Tories in 1886, by Mr Heath, as subjected to a vigorous onslaught by Mr R.W.Perks, a thoroughly sound and consistent Liberal, who is sure sooner or later, to make his mark in the great Council Chamber of the nation.  - - -

Primrose League Meeting.


The annual gathering of the Coal and Iron Workers' Habitation of the Primrose League was held in the grounds of Linley Wood on Monday. Mr J. Loring presided and there were present Mrs James Heath, Miss Marsh-Caldwell (ruling councillor), and Miss G.A. Marsh-Caldwell (hon. secretary).

 
Mr J. Loring referred to the growth of the habitation. - Mr James Heath returned thanks for the honour they had done him in returning him to Parliament. The ladies, he was sure, had done a good deal for him in Kidsgrove, and they had in that district every reason to be satisfied with the result of the election. 


He denied that subtle influence had been used, as alleged by Mr Woodall. As to registration, if any party were to blame it was the Radical party, and he asked why they did not put things right in 1884. Speaking of the opening of Parliament, he said he had expected that speeches would have been delivered by members of the Opposition party condemning Lord Salisbury's followers, but they were perfectly dumb. 


It showed that the Conservative Party followed a constitutional course, and that they were perfectly justified in meeting Parliament. 


Mr Heath went on to remark that in the Kidsgrove district it was thought he would not have much chance of winning, and there was a strong feeling for the other party. He thanked those who had helped to secure his success, and reminded them that in an election they should not feel they were working for a man but for a great party and principles. 


The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr J.E. Cooke, divisional secretary for the Midland district and the usual votes of thanks were passed.
