Whenever Lord Rosebery passes by a Scotch burgh, they rush

out and make him a burgess. This week the people of Dornoch and of Tain caught him in company with the Duke of Sutherland, and gave them both the freedom of their towns. In his speech at Dornoch, Lord Rosebery alluded to the Scotch Coal-strike, but held oat no hopes of intervention. "If you speak of the hopes you entertain towards ray being able to regulate the future of Capital and Labour in this country, you impose upon me far too great a responsibility." In his second speech, Lord Rosebery let drop a word of politics. "If there was a calm at present, it must not be supposed that there was nothing coming in the future."
