SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

MR. GLADSTONE AND THE IRISH DEPUTATION.

The Times observes that the reply of Mr. Gladstone to
the Irish deputation which waited on him on Saturday suffi-
ciently expresses the spirit of the Government with refer
ence to the debate on the Irish Land Bill. The opinion of
Irishmen might not approve the limitations of the measure
before Parliament, but Irishmen must remember as
Englishmen have come to confess, that the uncorrected
opinion of a people is not necessarily consistent
with justice. Englishmen. are prepared to assist in pas.
sing a Land Bill of no mean proportions. Mr. Gladstone
believed himself warranted in saying "there never was a
time when Englishmen felt more disposed to render to
Ireland full justice or redress." But there are
bounds which the bill cannot trangress, even
though it should fail to give satisfaction. It cannot
remedy past wrongs by creating fresh wrongs. Parlia-
ment is prepared to follow justice to the uttermost, but it
cannot desert that guide. Any alteration in the bill
which justice may require will be conceded. To ask more
might endanger the impartial examination of just claims.
The bill will confer security of tenure as a guarantee
against capricious eviction ; but the appetite of agitation
has grown until there are some who believe that fixity
o tenure can be obtained if persistently clamoured
for. This persuasion is unfounded. Mr. Gladstone's
a:gument in introducing the bill was solid and substantial,
aul its reasoning has not been, and cannot be, forgotten.
0 ir notions of justice have enlarged, but our determina-
t he guided by it remains unabated. The bill before the
oue of Commons must succeed or fail according as it is
or is not an application of justprinciples to a right discern-
ment of Irish facts.
