GLADsToNE's RETURN.
His Appearance Indicative of the Beginnins

His Appearance Indicative of the Beginning
of Serious Business.
smaley's Cable Letter to New York Tribune
Gladstone's temperance in the House of
Commons, where he was cordially welcomed
on both Sides marks the beginning of the
serious business of the session. Everybody
has heretofore felt the want of authority and
of definite direction in public affairs, Lord
Harrington leading the House with judg-
ment but being unable to give decisive
answers to important questions, and some
times going quite wrong, as in the declara-
ton that the English troops would be with
drawn from Egypt within six months. This
unhappy step, though partly corrected
by Lord Granville in the House of
Lords, excited lively alarm alike in Egypt
and London. Mr.. Gladstone. on being ques-
toned answered that Lord Hartington's re-
mark was merely an expression of hope in
which the government unhappily was una
BILE fully to share The troops, Mr.. Gladstone
added, certainly would not retire till the OBJ
iects should be secured for which they went,
including the permanent security of the
Suez canal. The Premier's return, however,
was timed too late to insure the progress of
any important measure before Easter except
the voting of money. Obstruction, though
hardly less rampant under the new rules
than it was last session. will not be allowed
to interfere with the pressing financial neces-
sites of the government. Mr.. Gladstone de-
clined to give any promise about the vacation
bill. The estimates have been passed, but it
is well understood that he has resolved
when the House resumes its sessions after
Easter, to ascertain whether the new rules
are really efficient or not.
