 LONDON, April 10. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 MT. Gladstone's home rule scheme is far beyond the most sanguine expectations of the most advanced Irish Nationalists. After putting Mr. Parnell in Kilmainham jail in 1882 MT. Gladstone in 1886 proposes to pro claim him master of all Ireland. Of course all the details of the scheme will have reached America long before these notes. Although the opinion in the most influential Whig and Conservative circles is that MT. Gladstones bill is dead already, and has not a chance of passing its second reading, it is probable that it will be read a second time for the sake of the principle of statutory Parlia- ment, and then amended in committee so as to be made compatible with imperial unity. The Pall Mall Gazette, which still gives the most interesting and lively articles on the questions of the day, says that the bill tends in the direction not of union, but of separa- ton, and offers the Irish premium of one hundred million pounds to convert home rule into national independence. Certainly the Liberals ready to give Ireland legisla- ture and an executive of her own. but the English will not be prepared, I imagine, to burn down their own houses in order to roast Paddy's pig MT. GIadstone's speech lasted three hours and half. His voice in better tone than at any time during the pres ent session. and at the end of the speech was as clear as it was at the beginning. It is as serted in Ireland that the interest in the event exceeds that which marked the an- nouncement of Catholic emancipation. An accident which occurred to young Irish member of Parliament who was thrown from a tricycle., afforded subject for joke to the English members. When the young Irishman m de his appearance in the House with his head bandaged it was JocuiarIy head was not bandaged would soon be the exception at College Green, Dublin.
 Prince Bismarck attained his seventy y-sec- ond year ten days ago, having been born on All Fools day, 1915. The latest critic of the Iron Chancellor says that he was enigma ns boy, and an enigma he has ever re- mained Some people say that he does not know to-day what ha will be pleased to do to morrow, and while directing the political events of Europe for years, is often led by circumstances. The sagacious critic says that the great source of strength is the fac ulty with which he changes his opinion, abandons his friends, courts his enemies, profits by the malice of one, the hatred of another and the selfshnsss of all. He af- firms that the princes elastic conscience knows no scruples, and that he professes profound love for the deity, the Bible-and sensational French novels. Emperor Will liam is ninety, Field Marshal Moltke eighty six, Prince Bismarck seventy one and Mar shal Manteufel is dead. Who will succeed these iron mens In whose keeping will the mighty empire be! Such are the questions I should like to ask the critics of the founders of tie German empire. Would to heaven We had a Bismarck in Francel
