ASPECTS OF HOME RULE.

Parneps daily organ in Dublin has already init
mated that some effort is necessary. With view
70 conciliate English opinion the League
will abstain for the present from the more
cruel forms of boycotting and prove they
can and Will do whatever is necessary
topreserve absolute order. This journal forgets
that such an avowal IS regarded in England as an
admission of responsibility for the existing system
ofintimidation. OF Its claim that the right of the
League to rule Ireland is constitutional is novel in
view of constitutional law.
Equally humorous from the Irish point of view
Is the New-YOrk dispatch explaining that every
body in America favors home rule for Ireland Oh
span similar TO the relation between the States
and the Federal Government. Mr.. Parnell and
every leading Home Ruler long since repudiated
Home Rule on the American pattern They insist
On an independent Irish Legislature with absolute
jurisdiction on most subjects, which the Consttu-
non prohibits TO State Legislatures.
The truth Is that the Irish party have won
= great triumph and made a great advance to-
ward separation, which is their avowed aim
put long road remains to be travelled. Mr..
Siaastones Cabinet is yet to be formed; its
tpsn policy Is yet TO be adopted; majority in the
douse OF Commons has yet to be secured
sne House of Lords and the country
sre yet to be reckoned with. The
~Ano question still presses for solution.

No man has yet proposed workable scheme either
American or otherwise. Political negotiations be-
tween Mr. Gladstone and Mr.. Parnell are conducted
indirectly. The Irish believe that an agreement s

dac In the meantime hourly consultations have
leen held for three days past with and among MS
former colleagues. No account of what is proceed
ing can be anything but conjecturaL Certain
things are taken for granted. 1t Is not believed
that Lord Harrington will join Mr. Gladstones s
Ministry The open breach long postponed between
the Wings and the Radicals appears to have ar
rived Mr. Chamberlain a month since had resolved
never to acquiesce in Home Rule and never again
70 serve under Mr. Gladstone; but having converted
the Liberal leader to his agarian policy and got rid
of the Whigs the Radical leader is content to re
sumo his place under tie old umbrella. MI
Goschcn's abstenton is certain; Sir Henry James,
abstention is probable; Lord Spencer Mr.. IreveI-
van. and Lord Derby are doubtful. The only
strong members of the old Cabinet who are certain
to Jon the next Cabinet are Lord Granville, MI
Chambe lain, Sir William HarcouIt, Lord Rose
berry, and Sir Charles Dixie if the trial next week
results favorably.
Efforts will be made to enlist the support of the
Moderates by avoiding dciiuite proposals for home
