After the experience of Berwickshire we may, we think, trust

Scotland at the next election. The Conservative candidate, Lord Dangles, though, as he admitted, "rather young," was the son of a large proprietor, and supported by all the proprietary body. He accepted, too, all that is specially Scotch in the Liberal programme, bolting the abolition of hypothec in the most effec- tive style, while his followers hired all the means of conveyance in the county. It was all of no use. The dour Scots walked away without conveyances, and Mr. Miller, a moderate landowner, not much known, and unpopular about his leases, but a thorough Liberal, was carried in triumphantly. Next election Mr. Miller should remember to import a few hundred cabs from Edinburgh.
