view and intended to lead an attack on the NoV-
.rnnlent on the ground that the Liberals would
otherwise be obliged either to support or to oppose
Mr. Mr.Parnelrs amendment; but the indications to-day
are that Mr.. Gladstone will stick to generatles'

acies against England.
Mr. Childers, a candidate for the vacancy IN
Edinburgh, has been explaining away his proposal

the Irish police to the local authorities. His ex-

Mr.. Morley's speech at Chelmsford on Thursday
is important. lie declares for an Irish Parliament,
points to Mr. Gladstone as the only man capable of
finding constructive solution of the Irish prob

alternative He makes however, one vital reser-

based on plunder nor do republics allow jails the
right Of selfgovernment, and concludes that if the
Irish people ipsist on stealing they must be dealt
with as thieves and Ireland treated as huge jail
Mr.. Morley has APPARENTLY resolved to assume
the leadership of the. Home Rule Radicals. This
splits the Liberal party into three sections instead
