Gladstone to ParnelL


LONDON Nov. 10. In his speoch at West
Calder Tuesday, in reply to Mr.. Parnelrs
III question that hs fran, a plan for the
local government OF Irslanl, Mr. Glad
stone sail that his reasons for not com
plyin, with Mr.. Parnell's request
were that the Irish representatives
in parliament SHOULD DO Ireland's
physicians rather than he himself. More
over, if such proposal were to be made, it
could be male more effectively by the gov
ernment althou I'll that government now
appears rather silent on the subject.
Mr.. Gladstone said that no gMver
error was cvJr committs1 than the
condemnation OF Earl Spencer by the
leading members ot the government.
lie was aware of n previous instance
wherein party was SO swayel by the con-
duct of its leader. o. tho depression of
trade, the speaker said it woull be rs we'll
to root the Psntlant from their base and
pitch them into the firth as adopt the quack-
cry OF imposing new taxes to relieve the de-
preston.
In regard to the question OF disestablish
ment he referred to his address at E1in
burgh, aud said that he wished to contine
himself to M re practicable reforms. He
aNserte that if the Scotch people made dis
establishment n test question the supporter
Of the English church would take the other
side, and the Scotch would suffer severely
from TIE conte t.
He referred to the foreign policy, and said
the Tories, where they had been successful,
were simply finishing up the work beg un ty
the Liberal cabinet and on the same policy.
EDINBURGH. Nov. IS Tho Scotch Lib
eral papsrs all contain editorials on Mr..
Gladstone's speech of Tuesday evening at
West Calder, and lay particular stress on
his references to the utterances made by
him in his speech ut l. tiubu 'gh with re-
CARL to the disestabliShinsGt OF tho church.
They all agree in asserting that the agita.

only result in injuring tue Liberal cause,
