,1 The. final ; sitting of .the.Trade . Congress which was held on Saturday, was by far the inost, important oQthe senes :so far as the congress is connected with the staple trade of our own part of the country. The feature of the sitting lyas the resigna.-


tioii of Mr. iJirtwistle, of Accrington, the representative of the Lancashire cotton weavers, from the'Parliamentary Coinrnittee. He explained that he could not conscien­ tiously retain his seat in face of the fact that the congress had resolved upon a universal eight hours day. After the vacant seat had been unsuccessfully offered to Mr. Slatter, of Manchester, Mr. John Burns willingly accepted the position, promising to work, hard in the interest of the congress and the eight hours day. Mr. Fielding, the representative of the


Amalgamated Operative Cotton Spinners (Northern Counties) at the Trades Union Congress, declares that in all probably the cotton trades will secede from the Trades Congress and join in the formation of a new organisation, in .which taxation and repre­ sentation will be one pt the main planks. The eight hours day, he says, is impossible, except where tnades demand i t ; and he con­ demns as absurd the attitude of the engineers who advocate eight hours, but insist on working overtime.

The registrars of births and deaths are the


officers through whom the census is taken. These employ enumerators, who distribute and collect the schedules, and the work is so divided that no enumerator has more houses than he can conveniently visit in one day. When the schedules have been collected, they:are transmitted to the census office, where the work of tabulation, which takes about two years is carried out. : Tliere can be little doubt that the results of


C/ass Quality and Chemical


the forthcoming census will not materially differ from those of their predecessors. The figures will show an enormous increase of the town populations, and probably , a not less striking diminution in the rural districts. The spread of education will be found to have led to a larger proportion entering the professions than formerly, \yhile a still further increase in the disproportion of the sexes is not unlikely, though it is satisfactory to know that the area of the employment of women has widened in at least equal pro­ portion.' As to the general growth of the population there need be no doubt. The serious diminution in the French population, which lias lately been deplored in that country, would be an entirely new experience in England. Happily there is no reason to doubt that, notwithstanding the lamentations of pessimists, there has been at least a corres­ ponding growth during the last decade in the progress, prosperity, and comfort of the people.


CANON LIDDON. One of the great lights, of . the Church


has. been removed by the'death of Canon Liddon. It is stated that no other preacher ever attracted such large congregations to St. Paul's Cathedral, and he tyas listened to with interest hot only by members of the Church of England, but of other denom­ inations. : After graduating at Oxford, he entered the- Church in 1832 and rapidly rose to the rank of canon, numerous other dignities and honours in the meanwhile being showered upon Iiim from various quarters. Many people have wondered why he had never been presented with a. bisliopric. In reply to this it has been said that he would not accept the office. • Other reasons have been 'given, tho most common of which is that he once gave offence to the Queen by a too

was held in the Gisburn National School, to con­ sider a notification from the Education Depart­ ment to provide an assistant mistress, a t a salary

for life. School boanls saddled them with rates, and were often. a screen for extra cxjicnditure. Nothing would be gained by placing thoniaoives under a school-board, and for the price .of a pint of ulc per week they could educate their children under the present, system, and. when they were grown up they-censed to p t a y ,U n d e r a school board they would have to pay-for life.

The KcV.' K. Wrioht seconded the motion, and X / , '


had been rendered necessary in order tliat they might comply witli the regulations of the new code, one of which was to the cfluct that in a scliool with more than an average attendance of 70, tho .staff must be strcnglliencd b^' an 'assistant mistress, in addition to a iiiasteri If an assistant mistress was appointed to the satiHfactiun ‘of tlie Kdneational Department, tboy would in all probability get an additional grant of £10,' which would leave tlie amount to be raised, £30. The question was whether they would comply with these regulations by raising this money in a similar niaimer to what had liitherto been tlie case, or whether they' slionld ^ jmt the scliool under a school board. He, himself,' would like to see the GI.Hburn School continue to be managed us a voluntary school. Alany men and women had be.Mi educated there who had proved themselves a credit to tlic school and the village, and what had been dune in the past could be done in the future. By the vohmtary system they could get every advantage tliat they would Imre under a school-board, and in his opinion a t a . much less cost. Ho, liimself would contribute £10 a year towards the additional expense, uiul the Dowtiger Lady Kibblesdalc bail promised £ 2’a year, so that only £18.a year reniuined to.be raised. I f this sum was" guaranteed by gentlemen putting down their names then the school would go on as before, and he tliouglit they would get the best vainc for their money in that way.
