The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-06-09

The news from England to-day is not
30 exciting as that which we printed in
the APPEAL OF yesterday. The storm
has died away and there is now to be
heard o1ly the cheers of the Tory
Whig victors and the encouraging
words of the Liberal les ders, who are
preparing for another struggle, this
time for the direct approval Of the
people. And there can be no doubt
of the result. 1t will be an over
whelming victory for Mr.. Gladstone,
as overwhelming as the cheers that in
the early hours of Tuesday morning
in the HOUSE Of Commons blsnched
his cheek and made him tremble, so
enthusiastic were they and 80
strong. He will dissolve Parls-
ment on the oath instant, and
go before the people for their indorse-
ment OF home rule for Ireland. This
time he will have the heary support
Of the Irish leaders in and out of Par
lament, and they will see to it that he
gsts all ths support they can COM
mand. They will not divide their
strength in England and Scotland be-
tween the two great parties as they
did last winter, when they could
not force Mr.. Gladstone to show
his hand as clearly as they wished,
and they were Coquetting with The
Tories through Lord Randolph
Churchill to secure promise of home
rule in return for the support of the
Irish vote. Irishmen at home and
abroad will do what they can to glad
den the heart OF the venerable and
illushious statesman with a strong ma
iorityin the next House, and the admin
istrstion of crushing rebuke to Cham
berlsin and his followers. All the
signs are favorable for such an indorse-
ment of home government for Ireland
by the English and Scottish people
before the first week in August. The
avowal by the first minister of the
crown and the greatest Of all EFg
lands statesmen that home rule for
Ireland is simply necessary measure
of justice, aud the fact that
225 English and Scotch members
voted with the eigh y-six Irish men,
bers for it, are facts that speak louder
than words for an ultimate and a great
success. No measure so sweeping as
this ever received SO large a vote on
second reading in the House of
Commons. The repeal of the
sugar duties during Sir Robert
Peel's ministry, ami The disestablish-
ment of the Irish church by Mr.. Glad
stone himself were great reforms,
achieved only ST er years of agitation
and in the teeth Of opposition even
more IancoIous than that manifested
by the Tories against the home
rule bill just defeated. The
career of the "eraDd old man" is
u u IlblUR
from the ashes OF many defeats, ,snd no
statesman better than he is able to
find in his own history the encourage
ment that perseverance, aud persist
ency in the teeth of relent-
less opposition always secures
for the man whose ttaying
powers equal bis ability to anticipate
the wants in legi-lstion Of free, en-
lightened aad advancing people. His
tory as web as the facts Of to-day are
most encouraging for the ,tri-
umph o Mr.. Gladstone in
the near llture, perhaps a triumph
greater Z han he now dreams
Of, one that shall be astep toward the
-erstive sysiem that is ultimately
- obfer home rule en- England and
Scotland as well as Ireland and pro-
vide an Imperial Legislature that,
made up of epresentstiv5s from the
thrse KINGDOMS, shall legislste alone
for Imperial affairs.
