Points Considered.

was the signal Tor great demons "a

Whsn they a lighted from the train and
entered their carriage they were
cbeered and cheered again by the en-
thusiastic mul iiude. HenRler's Cir

Lang Syne" And He's Jolly Good
Fellow"
MR.. GLADSTONE,
upon rising, said he was confident
thai Glasgow would do true and solid
Liberal work at the coming elec ions
He would today deal with a portion
OF the great I,ish question which had
hitherto been untouched, namely,
that portion which peculiarly effected
SCOT and. He would take his text
from the famous DIR. Chalmers, who,
in 1918, referred to the 'imposSbility
of crushing he Irish people" and
added that "the Almighty arm ct
kindness would be irresistible
"Thcse words" the speaker said,
"were words of high Christian wis
dom" He asked his auditors 10 ap-
ptoach the question inspired with
such sentiments He wished to deal
with three points-tbe security of
Pfotestants in Ulster, the arguments
deduced from the union Of scotland
and Eng aud, and the question OF
home rule Tor Scotland. Cheers
He mentioned that under the home.
rule bill Ireland would be an inde'
pendent country. There were clauses
that forbade Ireland TO leg'slae for
the establishment or endowment Ct
any religion. The Parnell tes joy'ully
accepted the clauses, and they had al
ways proved hat theywere in favor oil
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
Besides, the roySl veo would re-
main. Therefore q rmswere grouncs
less and frivolous. Lord Harrington
complained that he made no advance
in the Ulster proposals in the original
scheme. Wen, Lo Halting'on made
no effort to help TO do so again. Maj.
Sauderson, in behalf OF the
Orangemen, advanced tie view that
the majority of the Ilish should be
compelled to adop. the will OF the
small minority. Mr.. Parnell wante d
the assis ance of every lrishman in the
woik of governing Ireland. The gov
lent was open 10 c. nsider every
reasonable p opposition, if such could
be desired, for The purpose of giving
separate satisfaction 10 that portion OF
Ulster in which Profession ism greatly
prevails. But the fears that he Cath
olics would psrse cute the North, where
the Protestanis were strong enough TO
protecsSnemselFes, were quite bsselt So.
The union of England aud Scotland
was essentially different from that OF
England and Ireland. TIE furda.
mental difference was, that Scotland
was always able to hold her Cwn.
Scotland met England on footing OF
equality, aud the union with the lapse
of time recommended itself to the
mir DIS and hearts Of Scotcbmen, " bile
the entire Irish nation was against the
UNION OF COUNTRY WITH ENGLAND,
Now he he'd said Scotland had be-
come gradually satisfied with the
union, but if a great majority OF the
people of Scotland W shed to manage
her local affairs within her own bor'
ders, did they think, if hey arrived al
a clear conclusion to that effect, that
of seventy. two Sco'ch members OF the
House OF Commons sixty united as
one man in a demand for change
that England dare or would wish lc
refuse them? Cries Of mo. He
ridiculed the proposals OF the Ma
tiopal Radical Union to leave un
dealt with the question OF lrlsh
local self-government, asubject which
was ripe for discussion, while the
country dealt with local government
for England and Scotland, question
which was not ripe for discussion. Mr.
Glads one thought that his proposec
castiron uniformity of institutions fol
Eng aud, Scotland, Ireland and Wales
was bad, false aud vulgar principle
In dealing with the subject OF loce
government the special wants OF to-
different people must be considered
and the special history OF those peo
pie. The main question was whether
ireland was TO have free govern
ment or be eve ridden by Eng
lard and Scotland. They knew roV
what Ireland wished for. Ireland hat
not asked for an innovation because
she had a Parliament until IL wa
taken from her in 1900 by a mixtuu
of fraud and force. She only said
"In Gods anne, rs you have failed
allow US to endeavOr 10 govern oul
selves" Scotland, the speaker con
tinued, had always sent retormers I
reformed Parli would she d
so again (cries OF yes, or would sh
send conservatives II she chose tn
latter course the responsibility woul
be htrs, not his,
In conclusion, Mr.. Gladstone az
pealed to bis auditors to give thei
voice in favor OF a work of peace an
Justice. His clio ing words were halle
with loud end pro onged cheers.
