IRELAND AND ITS POLITICAL
LEADERS.

Is it the irony of fate or is it Jr..', wit ? but the
fact is that the only tw. 'Artie. whieh send repro
mutative* to Parliament from Ireland are led by
recruits from the otqemte rank.. Mr. Parnell is of
English estmetion and a Protestant, and yet it is
to his that the Celtic and Catholic population look
Mr deliverance from the wrmge of centuries. In the
mine way Major Sanderson, of the Castle Sanderson,
a large landowner in the county Cava.l, is the leader
of the aisteen Orangemen who are the nil and
remnant of the onos dominant put, who represented
the English garrison in Irel orb lint Major Sander-
son, to whom the n0...1r.-ender party look WI the Cud
Of Campsador of their now sinking cams is, Or was
the other day, an advanced Liberal. He was a sup.
porter of lb. Liberation Society, and an advocate of
the principle that what had done so much geed for
Ireland could possibly do no harm in England. On
the contrary, as • good Protestant Major Sandenion
argued that if the Irish Church had to dirappear am an
establishment because it was in no sense • National
Church, or in harmony with the religious con% ic•
titan of the great masa of the people, this was quite
as much the ease with the English Church. It was
no longer national in the sense that it was the Church
of the people, and as such was in dutpbound to
subside iato the position of ' • dignified, but not Au
esclesively privileged sect. We are not her..
onwiented with Major Sander•on's views on ti,'
English Eetablishment further than this that
they are indicative of what is largely felt among
Irish Churchmen on the question of English Dia,
establishment. Having sailed nut of the fair havens
ef
a State Church into the open and stormy waters
of voluntaryism, they see on reason why their sister
Church of the English Establishment should not Pa.•
out into the same open waters. In any woe it is not
• little significant that the leader of the Irish Orange
party shonld be a man who a few years ago was
regarded as an advanced Liberal, and who, we have no
reseed to euppom, has retracted any of his !sentiments
en the subject of a Free Church or a Free State. The
feet, however, remains that the two leaders of the two
Irish parties are men whose early affinities were in
the opposite camp. It indicates the dissolution of
old party ties which is fast going on, and janhals.
prepare us for the day fast approaching when the last
of the Old Whim and the Last it the 01.1 Tories shall
be able to cualume without incurring the odium of what
is now knows as • hateful coalition. At present
Lord Ilartington and Lord Salisbury stand apait
",like cliffs that have been rent asunder, • dreary
we now Rows between." This, in Gileridge's
metaphor, is the relation of the 01.1 Liberal and the
Old Conservative parties to each other. But we move
fast in dm* days, an.l in the esample of Ireland
perhaps we have an imtance of what sere.o of
politics may bring about in F.ngland. Lord Ifartiog-
ton and the old 11.111 and Mite party must
gravitate to buff and blue, and as blue is the ,oily
lookout for r 11•111, Mii ,r 301.1er/on's roil, /be,
may pond, out to hor.l Hartington the way.
