his departure he vas interviewed by a Gable
News representative. to whom he said
81 shall remain in Dublin about two weeks,
after which shall visit the southern part of
Wales. am entirely satisfied with the de-
velopment of the land question in Wales,
aad strongly impressed with the belief that
HAT the interests of the Welsh, Irish and
English producers are identical. L could
have no more convincing proof OF this than
Is furnished by the fact that between
fsrty and fifty English constituency, among
which my speeches in Wales have had con-
Ederable circulation. have invited me to ad-
dress them upon the land question in Great
Britain. All attempts to raise religious is
sues in Wales have failed so completely that
further efforts have been abandoned, and an
illustration of their ll-suecess can be found
in the fact that in certain Welsh constituent
oies, where that kind of tactics has been
extensively employed, the electors have ek-
pressed disposition to offer Mr.. Parnell a
nomination for Parliament at the next cleo

1.-THE misery existing in Kerry has made a
very much deeper impression upon the peo-
pie In Wales than one who has not been re-
GENTLY among them can imagine, and the
Bazses which led to that lamentable state of
afairs, SIS well as those which prevent the
mmediate application of remedies are well
known and carefully considered in Wales.
The property of the Earl of Kenmare and
ether Kerry landlords being heavily mort
saged to English assurance companies, the
needs of the landlords are as pressing as those
Of their tenants. The clamor of the COM
pan II for interests long due forces the land
lore 10 demand of their tenants rent which
they can not pay, and the most mercileSs
eYictions follow. The distress in the western
islands is more terrible still, as the soil in
that region scarcely yields sufficiently to
supply food, and certainly nothing with
which to pay rent. / have written Mr.. Nor

Immediate action on the part of the Govern

are subjected. am hopeful of a brighter
political future, providing that Mr.. Glad

There are signs that Mr. Gladstone is elab-

hope OF ef1ecting working settlement upon
which the Government can afford TO face the
o0untry at the next elections. The only dan
ger now impending over the Governments
prospects of successfully dispOSing of the
home rule question is that which may result
from the now no longer doubted combina-
hon between Lord Randolph Churchill and
Mr.. Chamberlain, but the extent or precise
purpose of the alliance being unknown, it's
harmful capacity can not be estimated. The
Hnusua, action Of the Associated Chambers
Of Commerce in adopting resolutions oppos-

both Great Britain and Ireland, indicates
the pressure brought to bear upon the meet
