» — We know the. name of the new Unionist leader, but wo don't know, in England anyway, how to pronounce it, just as we always mispronounced llio name of his predecessor. The only man who ever pronounced Mr. Balfour's name correctly in my hearing, writes a Scottish correspondent of an English newspaper, was his rival, tho late Kir Jlenry Canipbell-liamiernian, who called it lialfoor. Now we are talking of 80-nar law, hut the man from whom Mr. Bonar Law derives the first part of his naino was Hbrntius Bonar, tho Scottish Presbyterian minister and hymn-writer, and iii his own country "Bonar" is pronounced Bonner. _ , L-_!!!_LiM
