The Westminster Gazette completed its twenty-first year last Saturday, and
we desire to add our congratulations to the many others which the Westminster has received on its coming of age. Sir Edward Cook contributed a very interesting account of the early days of the paper, of which he was the first editor. The Westminster has rendered invaluable services to the Liberal Party, and the healing skill with which it has smoothed away difficulties in front of Liberalism have, we think, never been sufficiently recognized by extreme Radicals, who have nevertheless profited by the special talents of its editor. But the Westminster is more than a highly accom- plished party newspaper; it is an organ of wide intellectual interests and sound taste in all the arts. It is a paper which its opponents, among whom we reckon ourselves, cannot possibly afford to leave unread. We trust that it may long continue to act as an interpreter of Liberalism with the same power to interest its readers.
