LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Mr. Gladstone,s
pamphlet on the Irish question ends with
a postscript dated Aug. ~, and which is
as follows; Since these pages were
written the principal intentions of the
ministers in respect to Ireland have been
announced. The statesmen who In Jan,
uary deemed coercive measures an abso-
lutte necessity do not now propose them,
although agrarian crime has rather in
creased, and Ireland has been perturbed,
so they say, by the proposal of home rule.
This is heavy blow to coercion, and
marked sign ofprogress. am concerned
to say that on no other head do the an
n0unoements supply any causes for con.
graduation.
POLICY OF DELAY.
!. Large irish subjects, ripe for treat
ment. are to be referred to commissions
OF inquiry. This 10 policy twhile social
order is in question) Of almost indefinite
delay.
2. Moreover, while the commission is to
inquire whether the rates of judicial rents
are or are not such as can be paid, the
aid OF the law for levying the present
rents In Eovem Der has been specially and
emphatically promised. This is marked
dlscouragement 10 remissions Of rent and
powerful stimulus 10 evictions.
3. A project has been sketched Of in-
posing upon the State the payment OF all
mi ~ = Ror
between these actual rents and what the
land can fairly bear. This project is in
principle radically bad and itwould be an
act OF raplne on the treasury and coun-
try.
THE CASTLE GOVERNMENT.
4. Whereas the greatest evil of Ireland
Is that Its magisterial and administrative
systems are felt to be other than Irish,
no proposal is made for the reconstruct
tion of what is known as the Dublin cas-
tie government.
3. 1t is proposed to spend large
sums Of public money on public works of
all kinds tor the material development Of
Ireland under English authority. and the
Dublin castle administration. This
plan is, f1rst in the highest degree waste
ful; second, IL is unjust to the British tax
payer, and third. it is an obvious attempt
| to divert the Irish nation by pecunIary
inducement from it's honorable aim OF
national self government, and will, as
such. be represented.
q. Limitation Of local government in
Ireland to what may at this moment be
| desired for Great Britain is Just TO none
OF our nationalist, rests upon no recogt
| nized principle and Is especially an un-
just Limitation of the Irish national de-
| sire. In my opinion such policy for
dealing with The Irish question ought not
TO be and cam OF bo adopted.
BLAMING THE CoNsTABULARY.
BELFAST, Aug. 90 The Conservative
Association OF this city has sent to the
government a copy OF a resolution which
they have adopted regretting that Lord
Randolph Churchill and Lord Salisbury
had expressed approval OF the conduct of
the Belfast constabulary in the recent
riots, and declaring that the constabulary
and the resident Msgistrate were respon-
sible for the disorders. The association
demands the reorganization OF the police
and magistracy, disapproves Of the per-
sonnel OF the commission to inquire to,
the riots, and asks the government to-
appoint more Loyalists thereon. They
lndorss the action OF High Sheriff Mont
gomery.
