Manifesto Issued by Lord Harrington


has issued a manifesto 10 the RoseHdale
electors. Hesays:
| reeret the loss of confidence of a maieHity
Of the Liberal Council, endeT circumstances so
grave and Unprecedented that | cannot accept
1t as final decision Of any body of electors
however influential. If il is Mr.. Gladstone $
opinion shat the lrisn dihpglty is only soluble
by fundamental alterations Gf the relations be-
tween Crest Britain and Ireland. it is TO be re-
GREETED that be has not placed the question III
that llSht before The electors. ! maintain that
neither Parliament nor electors ought to be
invited 10 accept the principle of so vast Il
change as separate Parliament for Ire
land until a plan has been pat before
them satisfying She conditions which Mr.. Glad
Stone himself has declafed 10 be Indispensable.
The bill recently rejected by Parliament i'll my
opnlop, satisfies one of these con6Stions. We
are not assured shat II VIII or can be recon
structed in such manner as to remove the OBJ
leetlons OF many of those, even, who voted for
IL. The measure j. recommended Just, and
more strongly us the only means FOR the Testora-
ton of social order in Ireland without resort to
stringent coercion. My opinion is that it is a
question less Ot justice or right than of eXpeii-
ency. II Ireland had claimed Independence.
then the question Of Justice or right might
be raised; but that claim is not now
openly asserted, and the Government
maintains that under the measure Ireland VIII
remain All integral part of the Kingdom. To
require that the people of Ireland should sub
init to be governed by a Parliament wherein
they ere fully represented and wher by they
nelD 10 govern Great Britain, may be lneXpg dl-
ent, bUt cannot be desert ed MS unjust. Apart
from the claims for Justice, however, it is not
denied that there cNisiSin ireland general de
sire foy a greater control OF her own affairs
This desire, within certain limits. the Liberal
party recognize rs a reasonable claim. The
question is to what extent il
safely be conceded by the Government.
This measure reserved TO the English
Parliament, wherein Ireland was not to be
represe MED. the control of vital matters In
which lrishmen are equally interested with
Englishnen and Seotchmcn, such as the con-
duet of colonial and tJreign affairs, regulation
Of trade, customs and excise drtieS and ut the
same time intrusted to the Irish Legislature
practically the exclusive control Of legislation.
the administration Of the laws affecting the re-
latiOns OF property, the prevention and punish
ment of crime, and civil and religious rights,
and the deserts of Il whole community. To say
that these are exclusively Irish affairs is mis-
leading. To recognize the fact that the Irish
people are widely divided in distinctions
of race and religion is not to import
into the controversy elements of religious
bigotry Not only Protestants but many
ALARM TO ignore which an attempt is made to
escape by specious phrases from the realities of
the position, and the Government proposed
measure to protect the landlords, who are only
o small fraction. Regarding the classes requlr-
ing protection the Premier is now silent. BE
admitted that Ulster deserved consideration,
but the protests OF Ulster are neglected Not
word in Gladstones address indicates any
serious attempt to satisfy the claims of the
Protestant minority. am compelled,
therefore to conclude that within the
lines of the Government plan it
is impossible to devise adequate
protection for those who. it is admitted need
it. 1t is easy to dismiss with contempt the alter
native plans suggested by those who decline TO
accept the sepsratiSt scheme of Government
but who are willing to concur in reasonable
demands The difficulties are great. am GER
tainly not prepared to commit mysel 10 the
details of any of the plans proposed, but certain
conditions may be Clearly stated which are es-
sental to any plan. Parliament ought to con-
tinue 10 represent the whole and not a part of
the kingdom Powers which may be conferred
upon subordinate local bodies should be dele
gated, not surrendered. The subjects delega-
ted should be clearly defined and the
right of Parliament to control and revise the
action of subordinate Legislative and admins
trative authorities should equally be clearly
served. And lastly, the administration of jus
tice ought to remain in the hands OF authority
responsible to Parliament. IL is asserted that
such a limited measure would not satisfy Ire
land; but if majority of the people of the
United Kingdom distinctly and firmly declare
that they will not assent to any measure which
would loosen the bonds of union, it remains to
be proven whether the Irish people can be per
suaded TO maintain hopeless and unnecessary
contest. Alternative schemes are dismissed
without discussion. In order to show that CO.
ercion is not alternative, nobody has
advocated coercion as policy; but
there is point where any Government
may be compelled to resort to what may be
called coercion. A government measure is no
alternative 10 coercion, because it is certain
that without coercion the Protestants of Ulster
would not submit TO the authority which il is
proposed TO impose upon them.
The manifesto concludes:
1t will be our duty to defend Parliament from
internal attacks, as our predecessors defended
it from external aggressions of arbitrary power.
The Outlook for Gladstone.
LONDON. June 10th. = At the Liberal
headquarters ii is officially announced that
various mutinous Liberals have retired
from Parliamentary life, having found re-
election for their respective constituencies
impossible, in consequence of the public
feeling against them for their desertion of
Gladstone. The universal impression to-
night among the Liberals and Ma
tionalists, founded on the above
facts and other usually significant
information from the country is, that the
party of paper Unionists is crushed be-
tween the upper and neither millstones,
and that Gladstone will return to power
much stronger than ever before This
opinion, however, is not shared by the
Tory managers. who are planning the
campaign with unprecedented energy

HINTS OF FOUL PLAY.
LONDON, June 16lh.- Late dispatches
from Munich state that the suspicious of
foul play against King Ludwig, reported by
the correspondent of the Standard, are still
persisted in and growing. 1t is dangerous
to express such opinions, in view of the
attitude of the party in power, but
these suspicious are slightly confirmed
by later evidences. The Kings iate
physician, whose strong views against
the theory OF insanity were given yes
terday, reiterates his statement, and his
arrest is expected. 1t is rumored that a
fierce duel has been fought between a
brother of DR.. Won Schleiss, who was the
Kings domestic minister. and Count Hol-
stein, bearer of the decree of deposition
which led 20 the tragic event.
