THE IRISH QUEsTIoN--Mr. Gladstone has once more
trumphed in Parliament and his plan of Irish reform
will be brought to the practical test. Ably and power
fully as he has been criticised not only by opponents
in Parliament but by the press, he still holds his sway
over his party with great Skill and his powerin debate
is unrvaed. That strange combination of antagonsms
which he contrved to weld together into party after
the fall of the Tory ministry, and which few men ex
pected to endure for long, proves exceedingly com
pact and strong Its course has been liberal and ye
moderate; it has broken the force of those who de-
mand reforms by conceding much, and yet has mo-
made such rapid sweeping concessions as to arouse
any just alarm among the timid of its adherens
better illustration cannot well be found of the pc
tency of judicious liberalism to break down obstinate
conseryas SIN on the one hand and unreasonable Radi
calism Oh the other Whether Gladstone's measures
or any others that wit of man DEVISE will wholly
remove the Irish difficulty is another question: but HI
deserves credit for an honest and well conducted
| effort.

The Mission Of NeWspapers.

When in New Orleans, many years ago, IN conVeFS-

good old Delta, he gave expression to a sentiment
which did not then meet our approval-on the con-
trary, rather shocking our ideas in the premises
though in which time has convinced US there Is much
of TRUTH especially regards morals; namely, that II
is the duty of newspaper to reflect and not endea'oF
to direct public opinion Now, although this we" OF
