:MR, LOCH OF THE CHARITY ORGANIZATION
SOCIETY.
[To ma EDITOR or ens nSETOTAS011.1 Stk,—I rejoice to see in your correspondence columns some proof that there is a desire to recognize the services of Mr. Loch. Testimonials have become vulgarized till they are almost abhorrent. But there are exceptions. I do not think that I have ever even seen Mr. Loch, and so am not biassed. But surely forty years of splendid public service, unselfish, unadvertised, and often righteously unpopular, do call for some memorial from those who appreciate a man. —I am, Sir,
ROSEBERY.
[We most heartily agree with Lord Rosebery in his timely -and generous tribute to Mr. Loch, and should greatly like to see his proposal take practical shape as soon as Mr. Loch's health permits. As an example of Mr. Loch's width of view and nnwearying support of good and patriotic causes, we may note-that his name appears in to-day's list of subscribers to the Spectator Home Guards Fund. Mr. Loch knows bow to be an economist, in the best sense, without forgetting to he a patriot. He served his country by conserving her economic ,energies as well as if he had wielded a bayonet.—En. Spectator.]
