THE FRIEND OF IRELAND.

We have always believed Mr.. Glad
stone to be better friend to Ireland than
the Irish people have given him credit for.
He was wise enough to know that all could
not be accomplished that should be, at
bound He has aimed for that which was
fairly attainable at the time-on the prin-
ciple of the half loaf, indeed. While he
stands mistaken for the unity of the en-
pire and the supremacy of the Crown,
how else can we consider him than a
Home Ruler, in a limited sense, perhaps,
when, as the head of the Liberal party, he
gives expression to such views as these,
which occur in his address to the electors
of Midlothian:
To maintain the supremacy of the Crown, the
unity OF the empire, and all the authority of
Parliament necessary for the conservation of
that unity, is the first duty of every represent
alive of the people. Subject to this governing
principle every grant to portions of the country
of enlarged powers for the management of their
own affairs is, in my view, not a source of dan
ger, but means of averting it, and is in the ma
ture of a new guarantee for increased cohesion
happiness and strength. We have no right to
fairs shall always be greatly shorter than the
period of mistakes and misgovernment; and if
in the case of Ireland half century of efforts
at redress, not always consistent or sustained
and following upon long ages for which, as a
whole we blush. have still left something to be
attempted, we ought not to wax weary in we'll
doing, nor rest until every claim which Justice
may be found to urge shall have been satisfied
The main question is whether it is for the inter
est Of all the three countries that the thorough
and enduring harmony which has now been
long established, but only after centuries of
mental strife, between England and Scotland
should include ireland also. My personal an
swer to the question is this l believe history
and poSterity will conSign to disgrace the name
and memory of every man, be he who he may
and on whichever side of the channel he may
dwell, that having the power to aid in an equi-
table settlement between Ireland and Great
Britain, shall use that power not TO aid but to
prevent and retard it.
OF course this is not all the Parnellites
demand, but it is in the direction of what
they seek, and viii place the Tories in a
quandary to devise expressions that will
parallel these, and retain to them any of
the elements of the Irish party strength in
in the hour of need
