Home Rule.


LosDos, May 2S.-The Gladstone
committee is making a final effort to
conciliate the Radical dissenters. The
committee has made overtures to Cham
berIain, promising that it he abstains
from voting against the Home Rule bill.
the measure viii be dropped after the
second reading, and that government
will then support a resolution affirming
the supremacy Of the Imperial Parlia-
ment and promising adequate protec-
ton to the Irish minority. Chamber
lain's acceptance OF the offer depends
upon Gladstone's giving guarantees that
this course will be followed.
Radical Workingmen's Clubs OF Lon
don are organizing a demonstration in
Hyde Park in favor of Home Rule A
demonstration of Radical workingmen
was held in East London to day.
Speeches were delivered from four plat
forms. Resolutions were adopted favor
ing the Home Rule bill, expressing
confidence in Mr.. Gladstone and favor
ing a dissolution of Parliament il the
Home Rule bill be rejected
Lord Randolph Churchill, in letter
to Gladstone, says: Il regret that
was absent from the House of Com
mons on the occasion OF your speech on
the 2lst. From reports l observe that
you completely misapprehenoed the
meaning of certain remarks of mine on
recent occasions in regard TO Ulster
loyalistS and consequently pronounced
an impressive condemnation OF my
opinions referred to. You will not con-
slider me wanting in respect when l
assert that you completely misstated
my doctrine. Ny opinion that an in
eyitable result OF establishing Pariia
ment in Dublin such IS your govern
ment proposes will be civil war harmo
nizes with opinions expressed by an
overwhelming majority of public men
of England competent 10 give judg-
ment, and almost every person IN Ire
land OF experience. position and
respectabtity. Moreover, it IS the
unanimous and immovable con-
vlction of the whole Protestant
community of Ulster. Ny close ex-
animation of the position led me TO the
conclusion that Ulster LoyaiistS are
justified IN cOntending that such par
lament at Dublin will be composed Of
nearly all national leaguers, who, in the
guIse oi a parliament, would be more
tyrannical than in the past. / do not
hesitate that, should their fears be raj
lied, the Loyalists would be justified in
resisting by force Of arms such a mon
strOus yoke. IL the protection OF the
imperial Parliament should be with
held. the Loyalists would be in duty
bound compelled to protect themselves.
| also contend that Parliament has no
moral right to divest of its response
bilities towards Ulster LoyaliSts. or
transfer the allegiance of Loyalists to
what must to them be only foreign
and hostile body. without the full and
free consent OF the loyalists themselves.
| never urged resistance other than a
rigidly constitutional one, and If / had
any influence / would exert il at any
sacrifice to prevent the line being over
stepped. declared that in that strug-
gle they, in my opinion, would be in the
right and would clearly be entitled to
the sympathy aud support of the British
people. This is what l would have
tried TO say IN the House Of Commons.
/ feel confident that yon- will admit
that your description was entirely in
accurate and erroneous, and that |
nothing in the above Is inconsistent |
with an ex-minister of the Crown and |
privy counsellor"
Mr.. Gladstone has replied to Lord |
Randall Churchill as follows: greatly /
regret, il / have misrepresented your |
statements. Ny words rested mainly |
on your speech in Ulster. and the /
closing paragraph of your letter 10 Mr.. !
Young, of the 7th instant. To the latter /
am constrained to reply in exactly the /
same words expressed in Parliament. |
