Mccarthy Reviews the SITUATION.
l.oNGFoRp, July IL New York Herald
Cable-Special to the BEE. I-"Bothwell is
down." says Claverhousc in Scots, "Old
Mortality" "and many pretty fellow with
him" Boutwell, is down in the elections
here and many pretty fellow with Both
well. Goschen is down, has been flung clear
out of his saddle at Edtnburg. Trevelyan is
down as an Irish member and home ruler. l
am bound to rejoice over Goschens fall He
was worse enemy of the Irish cause by far
than Chamberlain.
AN AMBITIOUS POLITICIAN.
Everyone knows Chamberlain to be an
ambitious politician, in your American sense
of the word-a man determined to succeed in
parliamentary life-to succeed honestly If he
could, but to succeed any way. G0Schen, on
the other hand, goes in for rugged independ-
ence; processes not to care a rap for Office; is
for the indcpendcnt English principle only.
don't say that Is my opinion of GOschen,
but it is the common opinion. Certainly it is
the opinion Goschen likes spread abroad con-
cerning his political character and purpose
Therefore, when GoSchcn spoke up against
Gladstone and home rule, a certain class of
persons declared that Goschen spoke in the
voice of English public opinion and was Eng
lands fearless and prophetic guide.
GLAD OF GoSCHEN's DEFEAT.
IcannOt help rejoicing that the Ednburg
constituency, which elected Goschcn few
months ago by large majority has rejected
him now by majority still larger. The issue
was distinctly home rule or no home rule.
Goschen pronounced against home rule; his
constituency have pronounced against him.
dixie DowNED.
Another pretty fellow down is Sir Charles
lkn I ON fprI IliIl-n Ia iS a homo
ruler on principle; has been for ever so many
years. 1t must have cost him keen pang to
separate from Chamberlain on this question
of home rule. They were two strong, close
friends when the Gladstone government was
formed in 1889.
CHAMBERLAIN IN THE CABINET.
Dixie, then man of far greater mark than
Chamberlain, refused to join the adminstra-
tion unless Chamberlain was offered place
in the cabinet. Gladstone at first demurred.
He afterwards agreed to Dilke's terms for
the sake of securing Dixie, so Chamberlain
became q member of the cabinet, while Dixie
was content to hold position in the admin
istratlon outside the charmed circle of the
cabinet. Dixie rose to n cabinet Office in
good time, but it is to his credit that he pre-
ferred his friend before himself and lifted
Chamberlain by one push to a place it would
otherwise have cost Chamberlain years and
years to attain.
NOW THEY SEPARATE.
Dixie goes one way, Chamberlain another
Dixie out of parliament, Chamberlain in ;
Dixie the victim of an improved accusation,
the scapegoat of the British public in one OF
what Macauley called its periodical fits of
morality" Nothing whatever is proved
against Dixie, only a man said a woman told
him something. That was the whole story
That was the reason why the public and the
pubicans of the Chelsea would not elect
Dixie, not because he was home ruler.
CowEN NOT CONQUERED.
Yet another pretty fellow down--a very
pretty fellow, oo,-is Joseph Cowen, OF New
castle. Cowen is not conquered lie merely
falls out of the ranks, drops behind, not
being Inclined or rather not able to carry
arms in the fight any longer. Cowen is in
feeble health and failing sight. He Is com.
psratively young man in political life, but
of modest shrinking temperament, and not
quite content with the recent way of manag-
ing political affairs through the caucus. The
house or commons loses in Cowen one of itS
very finest speakers; more than that one of
IT'S GREATEST ORATORS.
am not sure if COwen is not one of the
very best of great English orators, a thorough
friend of Ireland and lrelands popular
causes in the darkest days, even q better
friend rs the days grew darker. We shal
miss him IN times to come, be they never 81
promising and prosperous. For the hour,
suppose they will
NOT RE ALTOGETHER PROSPEROUS
so far as Ireland is concerned; but Ireland
may be well contented. Her cause is safe
and she can afford TO wait still little longer
Home rule must be carried. No administra
tion led by Salisbury or any other can at
tempt TO carry on the business of legislation
until the home rule question is settled.
THE ALLIANCE CANNOT LAST.
The alliance between Salisbury and tn,
observation-disclosures cannot last. The tw,
sets Will soon fall out, and when conserva
tiyes and liberal seCessionists fall out, homes
men-that is, home rulers-get their own.
JUSTIN MCCARTHY.
