All sorts of suggestions ar& . made

question. The latest is the-f ollowing
which comes from London:
"It is his eager ambition that the close
of hia career shall be either death in the
highest office of the realm or voluntary re
tirement from that office without the hu
miliation of being driven from power by
the adverse verdict of the people upon his
policy.-With this as his : incentive -Mt.
Gladstone is employing every ; resource of
his fertile mind, full ot the expeaients sug
gested by a long and . varied- experience in
the management of men and the moulding
of public sentiment. Victory under , the
present circumstances would indeed be a
crowning achievement. " . ;

these two trains,' and conductor Trott and
