An astonishing article appears in the current number of the
British Weekly under the beading of "The Danger of the Government." In it a violent attack is made on Lord Loreburn, who is charged with continuing to appoint " Tory magistrates over the heads of competent Liberals in the most reckless and defiant manner," and with packing the advisory committees-with Tories. This, in -the opinion of the writer, is the real danger of an otherwise fortunate and popular
Government. " For the foundation of the Government is being destroyed by Lord Loreburn, who is incomparably the worst and most dangerous enemy the Government possesses. If the Prime Minister is unable to bring this man to book and to see that justice is _done, then all will be lost for the time. It is fairly obvious that no amendment on the part of Lord Loreburn is to be expected. Then the Government must deal with him firmly and cast the Jonah overboard."
