statcsnn,l, rs Mr.. John Bright 11e Inns al-
why's beGh true to tho cause Of human liberty

lcal powers to tllo accomplishment Of those
reforms which liayo enfranchIsed every
Englls!s householder, and which have made
England almost n Republic with an hereditary
President and Il feeble, though costly, Court.
Mr.. Br1gllt's recent speech Oh the Irish
land question shows tint, although advanced
In years, te las lost none Of his youthful,
vigorous, and Anglo-Saxon eloQucncc, or his
sturdy and characteristic sympathy with tie
oppressed In their struggles for honest indie
pcndcncc. It Is true tllat he puts forward no
absolutely new arguments for change In
the Irish system, Of land tenure, nor does
he offer any now remedies for its evil
md bnneful effects. Indeed, every argu-
nlent put forward, every statement on which
he bases Ills conclusion, even hts remedial
plans, have already been put forward by
The TRIBUNE; yet coming from one of tho
foremost Liberal statesmen OF England, md
ono who will have mn influence in the next
English Liberal Ministry only second to
DTr. Gladstone himself, his views cannot but
have great interest for American readers, rs
