Sir Stafford Northcote held an unreported meeting of his party

at the Carlton Club, on the same day. His ideas have not transpired, but it is said that he pressed on his audience the expediency of " jealous criticism " upon all proceedings of the Government, which is, we note, the hint also given in the National Review by Mr. Balfour. That gentleman condemns obstruction by Parnellites, but approves criticism by Tories. The difference in idea, no doubt, is great, but we fear the differ- ence in practice will be small, and should like to see how com- pact the criticismwould be, if it were expressed on paper, and taken as read.
