IN THE OLDEN DAYS.
Sometimes public opinion is wad to
be very fickle, and electors change
their oponione and mil -eons in many
unaccountable ways, That is true, and
yet along political iinee, it /wears ro
take many years for he majority of
electors te change their minds, et
least their votes, For instance Ontario
was Liberal for nearly thirty years.
Prince Edward Ieland is ann her 'ex-
ample. A Liberal Govern nt had
been in power there for enty-one
years, until ,Tan. 3, when the provin-
cial elections were held, and the Con-
servatives swept the province. There
are thirty members in the Legislature,
and the election returnshow twenty-
seven Conservatives and three Liberals
elected Ten years ago Liberals Gov-
ernments were in power in all the pro-
vinces, as well as in the Dominion PAT -
'lament. Now, a Conservative Gov.
erment is in power at Ottawa, and six
out of the ten provinces have gone
Conservative. The 'let is as follows: -

Brunswick, Prince Edward Island,

FAMOUS AT DEALER
PH I LANTH ROP I C CAREER OF
LATE SIR WILLIAM ANEW.
,
Theft of the "Gainsborougfl Duchess"
Is Recalled by Death of Great
Politician, Art Lover aid Littera-
teur In London ---His Denerosity
and Ready Wit Did Much for
Manchester Ship Canal' Scheme.
At the advanced age of 135 Sir Wil
liam Agnew, Bart., the distinguished
art dealer and collector, has passed
away at his London residence. The
late baronet, whose benefactions were
on a princely scale, took a prominent
place alike 'in the political, artistic,
and literary life of his time, and re-
tired only a few years ago frorn the
direction of the famous pieture-deal-
ing firm of Thomas Agnew & Sons,
and the chairmanship of Messrs.
Bradbury, ,1„gnew & Co., proprietors
of "Puech. Born at Manchester, he
was the son of Mr. Thomas Agnew,
Who was mayor of Salford in the
year of the Great Exhibition, 1861.
Quite early in life young Agnew took
a keen interest in politics, but it was
not until comparatively late in life
that he stood for Parliament. In
1880 he was elected for South-east
Lancashire, and five years later he
undertook to lead what was thought
to be it forlorn hope in the Stretford
Division, with the result that he
headed the poll. At the Home Rule
split he followed Mr. Gladstone, and
lost his seat in consequence. An in•
timate friendship existed between
Sir William and his chief, and the
famous art dealer engineered an hi-
nocent conspiracy to smuggle it
presentationportrait into the G.O.
M.'s house 'oxe the occasion of his
golden wedding. He also played a
prominent part in the foundation of
the National Liberal Club. But it
