row, issue his election address to the voters of
Midlothian. giving the elements of the policy
upon which he asks that constituency to return
him to the House of Commons to fill the vacan-
cy caused by the fact of his accepting Office. IL
this the Prime Minister will state that the new
government will institute an inquiry into the
entire land question in Ireland. and into the
question why there exists any necessity for the
introduction of any specially coercive measures
in legislation for the Irish people, but the main
policy of the government, the address will de-
clare, shall be to endeavor to reach the source
and seat of the mischief generally admitted to
exist in that country. The following is one Of
the sentences contained in the address. and one
which indicates pretty plainly the outlines of
the Irish policy decided upon by Mr.. Gladstone:
Although the difficulties of the task make it
impossible to anticipate success with confidence,
we shall draw comfort from the knowledge that
we engaged in great work of peace"
In the address Mr.. Gladstone says that there
are three questions concerning Ireland which de-
mand the attention of Parliament-the question
of social order, the question of land reform, and
tae question of sef-government. The desire for
self-government, he says, must necessarily be
subject to the law of imperial unity. The gov
ernment hopes TO find safer and more effectual
method than coercion to remedy the social
troubles.
The Daily News interprets the manifesto to
mean that Mr.. Gladstone intends to deal with the
Irish questions in the order in which he has
mentioned them. It thinks that the scheme will
secure the unanimous support of the Libesals,
-:Al~
decency, oppose. and will almost GER
tainly support measures for the es
tablishment Of order and the reform of
the land law. The News adds that if Mr.. Par
nell really has the welfare of his country at
heart, he will have opportunity to evince his
patriotism, but if he obstructs the completion
of Mr. Gladstone's scheme, Parliament will
turn ready ear to proposal Of the Conservative
measures.

Mr.. Herbert Gladstone will accept the post of

The appointment of Lord Rosebery as Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs in Mr.. Gladstones Cabi-
net is generally approved. 1t is believed that
Lord Rosebery will follow the policy pursued by
Lord Salisbury. The markets have in nowise

The newspapers of Ireland generally interpret
the appointment of Mr. John Morley as Chief
Secretary for Ireland to mean transfer of

sanguine.

day. In the House wrts were moved for the

pointed to Office by Mr.. Gladstone, except in the

People generally attributed Mr.. Gladstones
delay to the vexations caused by the Queens atti-
tude, but this was not the reason. The real diff
fculty during the last two days arose from the
Premer's personal dislike of Mr.. Chamberlain
Last Sunday Mr.. Gladstone expressed his strong
conviction that the Radical leader was intriguing
against him. Mr. Chamberlain had long been
an heir presumptive for the political mantle of
Mr.. Gladstone and the latter thought that the
heir was seeking to filch the robe before it was
laid down. In support OF this belief, Mr.. Glad
stone made very serious charge of bad faith
against Mr.. Chamberlain. He alleged that the
Radical leader secretly submitted to Mr.. Parnell
plan for settling the Irish difficulty without
Mr.. Gladstones initiative or cooperation, and
that Mr. Parnell rejected the overtures. 1t is
understood that Mr. Parnell shares Mr. Glad
stones dislike of Mr. Chamberlain. The
cause is not far to seek After Mr.. Parneirs
famous speech at Dublin last fall, in which he
said that Ireland demanded nothing more, and
would be satisfied with nothing less, than home
rule and legislative independence. Mr. Chamber
lain was the first of the English leaders to reply
to this notification, and was the most bitter and
vituperative in his declarations that England
would never grant home rule to Ireland, and
that the very proposition was treason. Mr..
Chamberlain thus sounded the keynote of the
anti-Irish cry" which ragged so bitterly during
the electoral campaign, and thus did, perhaps,
