THE SECESSION OF IRELAND.


 A RalIy1ng Cry to Unite Brftens of All
 Parties Against ParneII-Salisbury's
 Plan for the Government of the Is-
 land.
 LONDON, Dec. 28.-Its representative has cabled tonight to the Boston Globe as fol- lows:
 Several leading newspapers are advocating what would have seemed preposterous thing few months ago, but which the reyo- lutionary propositions for home rule and practical Irish separation have prepared the public to receive with comparative patience. This is no less than that the Queen Gin other words the Conservative ministry shall dis solve Parliament and order a new election, the prete1t being afforded by the submission of such measures as shall force campaign upon the question of the secession of Ire land Thus for the first time is introduced in English politics the word which aroused such passions in American politics twenty five years ago. and which stands for so i'm portant part of your history Secession is likely to be as hateful cry in the mouths of Englishmen using it to arouse suspicion Of the Parnellites' purpose as when uttered by the politicians of the North to the condem- nation of threatened blow at the constitu- ton. Probably no rallying cry could be stronger in arousing the prejudlces and the una!terable opposition of every Briton, be he Tory, Whig or Radical, and Gladstone ana Parneu would be bold statesmen, indeed, if they were to try it without modifying their supposed alliance in some way as to rob the battle cry 'tsecession" of its plausibil- ity.
 The provisions of the measure to be pro- posed by Lord Salisburys government for the ameGdms mt of the laws affect ing Ireland were formally submitted to her majesty to-day for approval. They have been pretty thoroughly ventilated in the press, having become known unoficially, but with substantial accuracy, in that sub rosa manner which defes the long keeping of State secrets. The measure falls so far short of the Irish demands and the Liberals will ingness to concede that public attention will naturally be diverted from it to the measure which will be brought forward by Gladstone and over which will take place one of the greatest contests known to parliamentary his tory.
