land will be equally manifest The tenn
parate, logical tone of MIR. Parnells speech
rs contrasted with the exaggerated vituper-
alton of Mr.. Goschen's closing appeal 70
prejudice, must add to the weight Of popu.
lar conviction which all careful observers
discern on Mr.. Gladstone's side. The i'm
proved organization of the new voters and
the force of the Irish electorate in England
and Scotland, thrown this time where 1t be-
longs, will be powerful elements, too, in
achieving the great final victory over class
intolerance, religious narrowness, and race
violence which the coming election prom.
ises.-Neo York Times, (Ind)
The fact that under such tremendous
pressure and against every possible combi-
nation the Premier musters within 10 votes
of majority reminds them that the Par
nell.SaliSbury agreement cost MIR. Glad
stone last year, certainly not less than 30
votes in England, and that these 30 at least
and nobody knows how many score more,
will inevitably swell his 81 minority to
such sweeping, overwhelming, irresisti-
BILE majo. ity as no Prime Minister in his
tory ever had at his back; such majority
as will make him the most powerful indi-
vidual in Great Britain since Cromwell
| Before the onset of such force the resist
anCe Of the Lords would be ludicrous; they
must go down before it like reeds under a
cavalry charge. That is the outlook before
the opposition and that is the promise of
ultimate justice to lreland,-Bro0htyn
Edgle (Dem)
The most remarkable utterances of the
closing debate was Mr.. Parnell's admission
that the Irish Parliament unlike Grattans,
which had coordinate powers, would be
wholly subordinate to the Imperial Parlia-
ment, and that the Irish people were con
tent to have it so. His acceptance of Mr..
GldstOnes scheme was hearty and unre-
served. His speech WAS admirable in form
and conservative in tone his sarcasms ut
the expense of the Wing and Radical states
men responsible for instigating civil strife
in Ulster being particularly effective. Mr..
Parnelps and MIR. Gladstope's appeals for a
majority for the second reading proved flu
tile, but their cooperation IN this closing
debate is an earnest of the reconciliation
that will be effected if the constituencies
decide to sustain the government. To them
the question of home rule must speedily be
referred.-Ner York. Tribune (Rep)
The defeat CT Mr. Gladstone's bill does
local self government for Ireland. The
friends of that unhappy land may we'll de-
rive encouragement and hope from the
uitling majority rec ~rded against the meas
ure in 50 numerous body as the English
Parliament and the competent parts of that
majority indicate the alliance not only of
the premier's political enemies, but of
his personal foes as well, and lead us to be-
lieve that the real question of the future is
not whether home rule shall prevail in Ire
land, but how best the principle may be
applied without doing violence to the pre-
JUDGES of centuries which hedge this ques-
ton about.-Baltimore SIN (Ind)
There are speeches which live in history,
which are spoken by school boys and quoted
by statesmen to empasize their logic.
Burkes impeachment of Warren Hastings
was one. Robert Emmet's address to his
murderers another. Greater than all, he.
cause delivered for the emancipation of
country from centuries of misrule, is Par
nel's appeal to the House of Commons.
Calm, dispassiOnate, earnest eloquent, ii
will stand in Irish annals the finest effort
ever made by an lrishman, and will he
read by generations yet unborn.-N6o

There Is no reason to doubt he result of
an appeal to the people. The enlargement
of the suffrage helps the Irish cause, and
we should say that an immediate dissolu.
ton would hasten the adoption of a
home rule bill. A vote on the issue is
what the Irish Na'ionaiists desire, and the
deduction to be drawn from last nights
vote is that a house of commons, chosen
q n a FL "a
for Irish autonomy.-Nep York Star Dem)
The principle of home rule is for the
moment defeated, but it is not killed. The
bill has been lost, but the principle of
home rule triumphs The 81 affirmative
votes cast last night for Mr.. Gladstone's
measure virtually commit Parliament to
home rule. Who should say the matter
rests there ?-DuJia Freemans J0uraal

The progress of Irish nationality has
been checked, but only Mt point which,
five years ago, it seemed impossible for it
to reach. The Irish question is now in the
forefront of p)litics. Defeat cannot rele.
gate it to a minor place,-Ihe Cork Erami-

Let the friends of Ireland be dignified,

men to nerve themselves to struggle anew.

As the great Liberal party in England,
confident in the wisdom of It's great leader,
is resolu.e for the right and as the whole
vote of Ireland will he with it, victory is
certain.-Ne,o York Mail and Express

The British isles will new enter upon the
most exciting political campaign of the
century. The triumph of lreland's friends
would seem assured provided Mr. Glad
stones health holds out-Ir0y Press (Dem.)
Compared to the work already done, lit
tie more is needed. A few more converts
made and the great victory Will be won-
