A LEADER OF PROMISE.

• It is worth passing notice that the Unionist Party at Home presented a more solid front to its opponents since the appointment of Mr. Bonar Law ass loader. For a long time past-its friends in the overscną dominions, who recognise in it the Party of true Imperialism, have noted with unfeigned regret that it was scared and fissured by differences. Brilliant-in-attack-as--MrBulfour was as londer, his was not the form of frontal attack that most greatly captures the fancy of followers. The subtlety of his method of attack, his lores as a philosopher, his ability to see several sides of a question failod, in some measure, to captivate the rank and file, Mr. Honor Law is a leader of quite another typo. He has little of Mr. Balfour's finesse, but he has an incisive style of speech, a forceful personality, and a masterly grasp alike of Parliamentary tactics and of political problems. His brilliance and resolution in attack wako him sontially the leader necessary for the Party in the hour of crisis and threatening danger."
