{ 69b} In China the system of Trades Unions is admirable.—Coolie is the generic term in the East for labourer.
{ 70} This is one of the three well-known colossi of Gautama, the Buddha. The same type of proud patience marks this embodiment of the suffering East, wherever we meet it.
{ 76} Dr Moorhouse came out to Melbourne as bishop in the Church of England there in 1876. He almost immediately took the position of the leading religious personality in Australia. To a rare geniality he added the gifts of a “scholar” and a “gentleman,” both real and both as modern as yet seems permitted to the old caste and religion. He achieved an influence over men of all denominations, and of none, that was quite phenomenal, and might have been used for a national object as great as good. The work of his diocese, however, proving too much for his strength, he announced the fact, and declared that, unless his bishopric were divided, he would be compelled to resign it. Shortly afterwards he accepted the bishopric of Manchester, on the ground that “a larger sphere of labour had been offered to him unsolicited.” His departure was a sort of national event.

{ 84} The Australian Seamen’s Union, after defeating our most powerful shipping company over the question of Coloured Labour, after compelling the companies that used Coloured Labour to abandon all coastal trade, in alliance with the Miners, faces the craft that was once the brutality of the sea-capitalists with the same dauntless determination, the same noble self-restraint, that made it long ago the protagonist of Australian Labour.
{ 87a} His attack on Carlyle, for instance, of which the prose part is the fouler, the verse part the more virulent.
{ 87d} The picturesque Italian gentlemen who struggled so heroically for Italian Nationalism represent to-day a tyranny deeper and more dark than that of the Austrian foreigners, the tyranny of _caste_. The certainty of popularity was the bait held out by the greasy respectability of the _London Times_, and poetical vanity swallowed it, making Mr Swinburne also among the panders in his denunciation of Irish Nationalism.
