Mr.. Gladstone has taken the Office Of

Mr.. Gladstone is experiencing difficulty

Lord DeVesci on the Irish question
must be regarded with suspicion.
While the correspondence was ostensi-

was hated of all men in Ireland, was
one day adjudicating in case, the point
Of which had reference to document
that the defence endeaVored to SHOW
had been signed when the prosecutor
was drunk. Under cross-examination
the following dialogue took place:
The defending barrister: Now sir,
will you tell his lordship what you had
to drink on that occasion before you
signed the document
Indeed, your honor, said the wit
ness, II don't think a gentleman need
say what he had to drink for dinner"

answer.
Now, sir, after dinner did you not
have some whisky,
"Certainly had some whisky.
Now, on your oath, did you have
three glasses of Whisky?'
Il must appeal to your lordship. Am
I unable to answer ths question:"

still increasing. In the great manu-
featuring centers Of New England, as
for example, Canton, Mass, Beverly,
Mass, Norwich, Conn, Manchester,
n. H., Concord, N. H, and other
points, the urgent claims Of working
men have been successfully pressed
home, and a general increase OF wages
ranging from 10 to 30 per cent has taken
place. The thorough system OF trades
unions that is to-day III force III the
United States bids fair to revolutlonlzs
the unfair relations that have so long
existed between labor and capital to the
detriment Of the former. A marked
feature Of the meetings that are being
heldal over the country under the aus
pices of the knights of Labor and
kindred societies is the unanimity, re-
spectahlljty and intelligence Of the
members. There is no raobbery or

der OF the Loyal Legend, on the 10Th

man said OF Gen. Hancock:
] knew Haicoek well, for my mem

ter still, with the rank Of First Lieu

bride. From that time on Gen. Ham
cock rose steadily in the estimation OF
his fellows. And when the war broke
out there was no hesitation then, not q
bit. He was Union man. He was q
soldier. There was not one culver OF
the eyelid, not one trennble OF the
hand. Hancock was a soldier, man,
and very splendid man TOO, as you
VINO have seen him can bear testimony.
He went into the war with his whole.

from the heel up to the tip of his head,
and he sympathized with a soldier and

| ties to be- fought, here we had a man
| who was qualified and capable, sus-
tanned by friends at shnn4e, encouraged
by admiring companions; and when the
battle Of Gettysburg came, Hancock
was the in personation Of the, defence.
I have stood upon the verysspot, behind
the very stone wall, not during the bat
tie, but afterward, and there was
pointed out to me the place where Pick
Eett's division came up and where Han
icock stood and fell; and ii there ever
1 should be monument erected on earth

| Oh, my friends, when that woman
stood at the gates OF Paradise, dlscon-
solate, and appealed to the heavens to
know what she should bring to admit
her into the gates, she went back and
forth, and finally returned with the ex-
pired spirit of soldier patriot, and the
gates of heayon were opened to her. Ii
the gate OF heaven was opened for the
poor girl how much more Wilt be with

into life with very little help, and rose
by being q true, honest and brave man

Those of us who are watching with
anxiety the Irish struggle for State
rights have within short month wit
messed an suspicious revolution in the
attitude of Mr. Gladstone S followers in

opinion in Great Britain. 1t is, or
should be, understood that the only one

officially qualified to unfold his chiefs

John Morley, wno, as Irish Secretary,
is ths real executive agent OF the new
Government in the sister kingdom, be-
cause in this instance it is the
Secretary, and not his ostensible super
ior, the Vicaroy, who has seat
in the Cabinet. When, therefore, Mr.
Morlay told the Newcastle voters what
thu Irish programme was for which he
should require their snffrages, he spake
as one having authority, and not as the
scribes. That is TO say, ne planted
himself uneauiYocaliy on Home Rule
platform, proclaining it to be the Glad
stone Ministry's deliberate resolve to
create Dublin Parlinent, and TO stand
or fall upon that issue. This was a
square challenge to the voters Of q
large English borough, representing
the vast radical population of northern
Britain, to accept him or reject tim with
their eyes wide open. They responded
by returning him in the teeth OF a de-
termined opposition with majority
