l0Wa0le to raise the question Of English
church dlsestablishment just now.

church dlsestablishment lust now.
pIsEsrABLIsHMENT IN SCOTLAND.
q, accomplishment in Scotland is = question
Oue scotch people should deal with when the
proper Time arrives, which, in my opinion
nus not yet come. 1t would be outrageous
ioly Tor the Liberals to allow Themselves to
De draWn from the other real solid issues OF
Ine gay by this question. We confront the
electors ana say: Vote for or against a cam
uIuaIe on grounds connected with the great
questions ripe for discussion, which can be
treated in apractical manner, and 50 as TO be
ol service TO the country. Is the Liberal party
gong 10 ne constituted on an eXcOmmuuicat
ing prlncipe2 Is it to exclude from Parliament
every body who does not favor disestablish.
mehLf Ihls Is simply impossible. Every
sensible man Will devote his attention TO
Inln Va ngs Whlch can be dealt with IN the coming
farllament. II wOul0 require good deal to
turn my opinon-I VIII not say conviction
Whlch 99 out of every 100 Euglishmep share,
tnat the question of disestablishment Of the
church OF England is utterly remote from the
coming Parliament.
SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITY.
Mr.. Gladstone closed his remarks about
dlsestablishment by saying:
1t IS serious responsibility taking political
questions out of their proper order. We have
most remarkable unanImity respecting ques-
tlons winch require first attention: Reform
OF tle lana laws, reform OF the procedure of
Parliament completion of the reform bill,
and u settlement of imperial relations to-
wards Ireland. These questions afford a
record which would make the coming
Farllament most etfectual for this country.
cannot think but that il is an error to thrust
these questions into the darkness for the sake
OF question whose maturity / utterly deny,
2ut nave been asked whether / win support
Or. CamerOu's resolution disestablishing and
dlsendowIng the scotch church.
sCOTLAND's DEMAND.
Nc settlement will satisfy Scotland unless it
be the genuine offspring OF Scottish senti-
ments and feelings. | decline 30 support an
aDstract resolution on any subject, because 1t
Is tantamount 10 making q solemn promise
10 the country whenever such resolution is
adopted. ] never d. 50 until | see
prospect that | shall be able to
perform my promise. LCheers. In 1859 &
resolution IN favor Of the abolition of paper
duty passed the House OF Commons unani-
mously but the Tories Gercely opposed for
two years the bin giving effect thereto. A
change IA circumstances always provides an
apology for change of opinion. l am labor
ing now for Liberal unity. ! am preaching
unity to the best OF my ability.
CONSCIENCE ABOVE ALL.
hope the Liberal party viii split before
sacrificing its conscience. A party is an iu-
strument for attaining great ends. 1t is an
invaluable instrument, for party combination
has achieved all the good Parliament ever
did. Do not let phantom lights draw us from
the straight line OF duty. We have got work
to do. Nothing can release US from our obl-
plshment.
Mr.. Gladstone's speech lasted so min
utes. He received an ovation on leaving.
EXTREMISTS NOT WANTED.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Times, COM
mentiug upon the speeches Of Messrs.
Parnell and Gladstone, advises the cOun-
try to return to Parliament moderate and
cautious men, whether Liberals or Tories,
rather than extremists, who are too
plentiful on both sides.
CRITICAL PERIOD.
LONDON, Nov. 12, 3 A. M.-John Bright,
speaking at ROchdale last night, said the
present was the most critical political Pc
riod since 1882. Lord Salisbury had
spoken with decision regarding the church
question, and on that subject Mr.. Bright
would not challenge him, but the attempt
TO revive protection was mlscbieVOus. Mr..
Bright said the present depression was
due partly to the rash extension OF busi-
ness and partly to bare haryests.
The Standard this morning fervently
appeals to churchmen Of every shade Of
politics to combine and fight the enemies
OF the Church. The Tories are eXasper-
ated by Mr.. Gladst0ne's subtle disciOs-
ures in his speech yesterday.
DECLARED PREPosTEROUs.
LONDON, Nov. u. A. M.-The Ne,0S
says that Mr.. ParuelFs demand that Mr..
Gladstone formulate a scheme for self
government in Ireland before the election
Is impractcable and prepOsterous.
