The tentative effort towards justice
to Ireland involved in Mr.. Glad
stones Irish Home Rule Measure
has failed for the time being, as most
discriminating people supposed that
itwould. A second reading to TINS

not a flnality, and that he did not IN
tend to press its passage at the pres

the bloody chasm which has Tor 30
many years separated the Irish from
the English people. The agreemeh.
ma TO these issues had been adjusted
long ago. Conducted strictly IN the
forum of English public opinion as
interpreted at varying stages, by such
men as Dean Swift, in the opening
wears of the eighteenth, and sidney

nineteenth century-both OF these
men Saxons of the Saxon-it has been
confessedly against English misrule
in Ireland. 1t Is perhaps question
IA TO whether Edmund Burke, an
illustrious Irishman, not OF tue Gas
tlereagh school, or Sidney Smith, an
illustrious Englshman, had acquitted
themselves Of tho most mastery ar
raignment Of English misgovernment
in Ireland. 1t is to the eternal honor
OF Mr.. Gladstone that, NJ he APP
proacbes four.score years, he is able
and willing, as Premier Of Great brl-
tain, to stand up, in a bowling Pande-
monium Of excited partisans, as the
House verged toward the dawn in IT'S
session, in defence of the right. Many
Enplishmen in the past have talked,
as he has lately done, about the Just
demands of the Irish people, but no
English premier has ever dared to
advance the God-like aspirations OF
Gladstone in the interest Of sys-
tematically impoverished and OPP
pressed race. He occupies position
both unique and heroic; and, as the
matchless utterances of "the grand
old man" fell upon FACILITATING and
tumultuous assembly, which divided
against him by majority OF thirty
only. no blackguardism Of Lord Ran
dolph Churchill and his following
could drown out the fact that moral
victory had been won for the right
and the human race. A few months
ago Lord Salisbury ventured to take
office on n trifling majority in divi-
sion, and every one remembers how
short. liyed was this assinine triumph.
