MANIFESTO OF THE HOME RULE CONFEDERATION.
| LONDON, March 1.-THE homo rule confed-
Grafton of Great Britain, in manifesto to the
home rule association and Irish people in Great
Britain, says: Lord Beaccnsfeld has issued in
the guise of a letter to the viceroy of Ireland q
declaration of war upon your country and
your friends. The ministry is seeking to OBJ
tain a renewed term of Office by sowing dis
sention ana hatred between Englishmen and
| Irishmen. Tho ministry neither knows or
| cares how to relieve our distressed fellow.
countrymen. Vote against Beaconsfield as you
would against an enemy of your country.
aLADsToNE's ADDRESS.
LONDON, March 11.-Gladstone has issued
the following address to tho electors
of Midlothian: In an electioueering address
issued by Lord Boaconsield the attempt is
made to work on your fears by dark illusions
to the repeal of the union aud abandonment of
the colonies. Those who endangered the union
with Ireland were the party that maintained
| there al alien church, un jus5 land law and
4 franchise inferior to ours. AS to the colo
MES liberal administrations gave them popu-
| lar and responsible governments, undertook
to defend Canada with the whole strength of
| the empire, and organized the great scheme for
uniting several settlements of British North
| America into one dominion. The present min
| istry have neglected home legislation, agra
waited the public distress by continued shocks
to Confidence, and augmented public expendi-
| turc and taxation abroad. The ministry have
endangered their prerogative by gross misuse,
weakened the empire by needless wars, dishon-
cred it in the eyes of Europe by
fcaing Cyprus from the porte under
a clandestine treaty, aggrsndised Russia,
| lured Turkey to ACKNOWLEDGMENT and ruin and
loaded India with the cost of an unjusti6abie
| war. The ministry have done nothing to i'm
prove our social condition. You are promised
| the advantages of ascendeDcy in the councils
of Europe. The word ascendency is best
| known to US by its baneful connection with
| the history of Ireland.
must assert the cocqual rights of in6epen-
dent allied powers. but in the mouth of the
present ministry the claim is ridiculous. You
have great issues before You and l do not doubt
that Midlothian will nobly discharge its duty.
TIE BUDGET.
In the house Of commons today the chan
cellor of the exchequer intro
duced tho budget showing the revenue
| this year yields G2,19j,u00 less
Than estimated, leaving deficit of 1856, eco.
The supplementary estimates would
have increased the deficit to
about E5OCO,0O0 if all the money
asked for under these estimates had been spent,
but on the contrary this amount was more
| than covered by savings in other branches Of
expenditures, and the deficit is therefore only
| .f3,3 ,Oto. Tho cost of the Zulu war was
| f5, 13S, 800 nearly all of which had been de-
frayed by England. The estimates for next
year ale as follows: Expenditure, sS1 ,4S5, 600;
revenue, E51, 600. The chancellor of the ex-
ceequer thus estimated the surplus for the year
lSS0-SI at f75.OOO, but he proposes to alter
probate and administration duties in o
manner which will increase the
surplus to 9775.0O0, and also proposes
20 make cooperative stores liable to an income
tax, though an exemption in favor of seventeen
| industrial and provident societies will be
tlnued. Eight millions in exchequer bonds are
| now out. Six millions of these will be con-
verted into terminable annu1ties. the last az
nuity terminating in 1885. OF the yearly fund
necessary for the payment Of these annuities
81, 400, 600 will be raised by new sinking funds
and fS00,0 by increasing the permanent
| charge of the debt. This will absorb the in
creased surplus of G775 GOO and the proceeds of
the income tax on cooperative stores, having
a surplus Of ELS, coo.
HARTi NaToN's MANIFESTO.
LONDON, March 1.-THE Times in leading
editorial says: We glad to perceive in
Lord Hartington's manifesto a moderation of
tone in marked contrast with the stormy rhet-
ORIG that prevailed down to the meeting of
parliament among active members of the lib
eral party. His Irish policy is one the country
will heartily approve, wketer carried out by
liberals or conservatives. The same obserya-
ton may be applied to Lord Hartington's de-
claration with respect to the foreign policy.
The difference between the policy of
the government and that of the lib
eral party is reduced to question
of method. 1t is now admitted that the min
istry was right in its aims, but it is affirmed
that its measures were Intellectual and that the
objects of its efforts have not been completely
obtained. This is singularly unlike in form
and substance to the accusations which were
directed against the government during former
discussions.
In the house of commons tonight the amend
ments of the house of lords to the Irish dis
tress bill were agreed to.
