hopes he will not make similar mistake
In regard 10 Ireland. But Mr.. Gladstone
gets one of his hardest hits from the duke
OF Argyll, member OF his own ministry.
1t is the fashion Just now TO contrast the
Home Rule which is desired for Ireland
with the Home Rule Of the different states
OF the American Union. In America,
however, the duke points out that the
sympathies Of the Americans are in accord
on the one vital point Of forming q strong
and cohesive whole. In the latter the
sympathies Of the Ilome-Rulers are In an
opposite direction. ''rhe initial force Is
not towards but away from union; It Isl
centrifugal, not centfipedal.n The duke
Is very hard on the fiippant "Grand Old
MAN. when he wishes SC TO be clearly UNI
derstood that the immediate demand
rade upon us now Is that we should
franc q new constitution for these king
doms. Moreover, this demand is made
on pain OF death to consultation which
has been growing for a thousand years.
Those, he says, who would undertake
this work with light heart are Just the
men who know least about it, aud who
are most incompetent TO conduct il.
"Something must be done,n nevertheless,
and Lord Salisbury, ii is understood, win
prepare something good, including, per-
haps, the abolition of "the Castle.n II,
on the other hand, Mr.. Gladstone offers
the concession Of an Irish parliament, he
will entirely break up his own party and
fix the Conservatives in Office for a long
time. II Mr.. Gladstone were as great a
statesman as he is o politician and stump
worker, he would have known the value
of silence in the present difficulty. Lord
Salisbury and Mr.. Parnell have said moth
ing, but they have scored immensely off
the windy words of Mr.. Gladstone and
the .infantile prattle of his foolish son.
