INSULT TO GLiDSTONE.

Disgraceful Conduct of & Tory Slob at the Prince of Wales' Reception. London dispatches of xhe 20th give additional details of the hostile demonstration against Mr. Gladstone on the 10th. The occasion was a grand reception by the Prince of Wales, at the Imperial Institute. Thirty thousand invitations had been issued, the majority being accepted. A serious panic was narrowly averted by the discretion of the Prince, who organized a royal progress through the crowd and thus succeeded in breaking the jam. The procession was a striking spectacle. The Prince of Wales, Duke of York and other princes, splendent in jewels, led

J the march, followed by the ladies of their

households and three Indian princes now in London. Mr. Gladstone, leaning upon the arm of the Earl of Spencer, followed about twenty yards in the rear, when a bejeweled officer called out, "There's the traitor!" and pointed at the aged Premier. Instantly pandemonium reigned. Mr. Gladstone was surrounded by a howling mob, who impeded his progress and insulted him with groans and hisses, and it seemed for a time that personal violence would result, but through the efforts of a number of gentlemen, aided by the police, quiet was restored and Mr. Gladstone was guided into a less crowded corridor and walked to his carriage without molestation. Great indignation is felt by the Liberals, and even Tory papers regret the occurrence, stating that the Prime Minister was the guest of the Prince of Wales, and as such entitled to every courtesy. The Prince has written a letter of regret to Mr. Gladstone that reflects upon the Tories in the strongest terms, and the incident may be said to have increased the admiiation of the English people for the "Grand Old Man," THE APPORTIONMENT ACT.

Republican

Will Tost ItftC constitutionality.

The Executive Committee of the Republican State Committee have decided to bring suit at once to test the constitutionality of the legislative apportionment act passed by the late legislature. Chairman Gowdy said, Saturday: "There are a few members of the party that are of the opinion that it would be wiser not to bring suit; that in view of the fact that the Supreme Court is Democratic it would not be expected that the law would be set aside, but I do not take that view of it ard I am satisfied that the Committee does not. I believe the Supreme judges are honest, conscientious men, and that they will not allow their political convictions to guide them in the least in passing upon the question to be raised. It is undoubtedly the wish of the people of the State that the act be tested and it will be done. There are many Democrats I find who are anxious to seethe unfair law set aside."

Can it be that Sir Edwin Arnold has taken a too roseate view of Japanese home life? Mr. Daigoro Goh, Chancellor of the Japanese Consulate-General in London, gave a lecture on the subject, recently, in which he made the significant statement that "European ladies who become intimately acquainted with the Japanese at home are of the opinion that their conjugal life is not happy, while Eurepean masculine critics think it could not be altered but for the worse." This is not" surprising, as Mr. Goh went on to show that among the little domestic habits of Japs are these: A wife must eat onl" after her husband, consider only what he desires, complain of nothing that he orders, call him "master, never speak to him unless first spoken to, and never interpose a word if another man is present. She must obey her husband's father as her own, and she cannot possess any property. The three rings which Queen Victoria prizes most highly are her wedding ring, which she never takes off; an enamel serpent which the Prince Consort gave her as an engagement ring, and a small enamel ring with a diamond in the center, which he gare her when she was sixteen.

The picture will be hung at Osburne. J
