With this idea in view, it certainly speaks wonders for the modern Radical party that it has held sway as long as it has done, How much longer it can keep open doors is not for us to say, but, ignoring the statements and opinions of Opposition speakera and newspapers, and judging solely from the testimony of adherents, it would seem clear that the party has entirely lost the confidence of many of its hitherto most loyal supporters, and further, is fast losing confidence in itself; wherefore its falling to pieces can but be a matter of time-and an excoodingly brief time at that. Writing in the "Daily News" recently, Mr. G. K. Chesterton (whom no one could secuse of a partiality for Conservatism) said, "As I watch the setaal proceedings in your present Parliament, I am chiefly struck by the silence and swiftness with which you pass bille which destroy liberty, by methods which ignore democracy,"
