Disraeli on Church establishments.
In the HERALD of yesterday we printed "a,
egtens0 the famous speech delivered by Mr..
Disraeli in the House of Commons on the 10th
inst, at the close Of the debate on the Irish
question raised by Mr.. Maguirc's resolutions.
The principal points of the speech communi-
Gated by telegraph have already been printed
and commented upon in the pages of the
HERALD. II is impossible for any one TO read
the speech without feeling the great intellec-
tual force Of the author, nor can ii be denied
that the skill and dcxterity with which he
meets the attacks of his assailants justify the
reputation he has won as one Of the greatest
debaters Of this or indeed Of any age. We
cannot endorse all the arguments he advances
in favor Of State cndowments of religion. His
defence Of such institutions is unquestion-
ably able. More, perhaps cannot be said for
them than he has said. In this free country Of
ours, where all religions are tolerated, we have
no word TO utter in defence Of institutions which
have been fruitful source OF misery to
mankind in every age. and which,
more than anything else, have marred the
beauty and counteracted the wholesome infu-
ences of the religion of Jesus Christ during
these fifteen hundred years. Mr. Bright, in the
course of the same debate, revealed, IL not
higher philosophy, at least larger honesty OF
utterance when he said, ''my remedy is pre-
pared and prompt-disendow the Church, and
the whole thing is settled" Increased taxa
ton for the purpose of enlarging the number Of
State endowed religious denominations is a
burden to which the British people will not
bow the neck. II IL to be borne in mind how
ever, that the jew Premier is 9rievously tram
melled. and that he can do nothing without the
consent Of bis party. His followers are stub
born and full Of prejudice. In each new emer-
gency and before he can act with effect he has
to educate them mp to his own standard. We
are not, therefore, without the hope that
Disraeli will yet take other and more satisfac-
tory ground in relation 10 Church establish
ments. ''Endow all is Mr.. Disraelis watch
word for the present. "Disendow all" is the
watchword of Mr.. Bright. On at least one
occasion Disraeli has stolen Brighi's thunder.
