government into coercion. The Liberal party
are determined not to allow the Irish question
to be postponed because of the newly-adopted
programme OF the Conservatives. The Liberal
leaders have been much encouraged by
the extraordinary enthusiasm recently shown
at Leeds, that they have arranged for
series OF kindred meetings throughout England.
1t is reported ight that Mr.. Gladstone will,
| towards the end of the month, address two
meetings. one of which will be held in Birming-
ham, Mr.. Chamberlain's stronghold The new
watchword of the Gladstonians is 'Disestablish-
n1ene for Wales" 1t has been adopted after
earnest consultation. 1t has long been foreseen
by the wise that Welsh dsestablshment would
take precederce. Scotland was at one time to
the fore, but the movement there has fallen back
somewhat. while in Wales, as recent
events show, it is advancing: So well
chosen Is the position that there
is great anxiety in the Unionst camp to-day
The expectation is that the disestablishment
question will unite the dissenters once more in
that support of Mr. Gladstone, which, in so
many districts, was refused at the last election.
Ii WILL be remembered that at the last parlia-
mentary elections Mr.. Peter Rylands, member
for Burnley, carried the district despite the op-
position OF the Church party and the Gladston-
ians solely on the account of his having few
days previous to the dissolution given notice
of measure debarring bishops from act
ing as legislators Mr. Rylandss
object at that time was simply
one OF retaliation account of the action Of
the bishops in defeating the deceased wife's-sis-
ter biz, in the House of Lords. He can now
hardly remain in the Liberal Unionist camp in
the event of the Gladstonan's pressing forward
the edisestablishment question. The activity of
the Liberals and the enthusiasm aroused by
their declarations have created split in the
Liberal Unionist camp One side is in favor of
a conference with the Gladstonians, while the
other side opposes it. The apathy of Lord Hart
ington and Mr. Chamberlain gives color to the
supposition that the dissdent Liberals are
breaking down
Mr. Gladstone's Proposal to Apply Pressure
LONDON. Nov 81 MIR. Gladstone's proposal
to apply pressure, Immediately after Parliament
meets, to force the government to declare it's
Irish policy, receives unexpected aid from the
Radical Unionists The fact that Messrs. Cham
berlain, Cain and other Radicals will be absent
from the coming Unionist conference was al
ready recognized as a symptom of imperfect
agreement with the Harrington section;
but the serious nature of the differ
enes transpired only through private
communications received on Friday from
Buckingham circles, that Mr.. Chamberlain dis
approves the negative position which Lord Hart
ington maintains on the question of home rule
Mr.. Chamberlain desires no delay in a statement
of government view, and he will, if the per-
fected bill is not ready, support demand for an
outline of the Conservative plan. Such move
by Mr.. Chamberlain will be hailed eagerly by
the Liberal Unionists, as leading toward
reunion of the party, and will in
crease his influence multiply his following
and lead up to his scheme for Irish local govern
ment. Lerd Randolph Churchill is suspected
probably with good reason, of being willing to
connive at Mr.. Chamberlain's strategy, and he
will Influence the Cabinet toyield to the demand
in the face of a certainty that if they refuse it
the reunted Liberals will expel the government
and carry through an amended homerule
scheme. The split of Radicals from Lord Hart
inton adds to the complexity of the considera-
tions on which must be based any forecast of the
positions of the parties in the ensuing sessions
If Lord Randolph Churchill fails to induce his
colleagues to assent to declaration
of ESsicy, the Wings and Conservatives will be
in a minority against the coalition of the Glad
stonians, Parnellites, and Radicals, but it is i'm
possible for union of the Liberals to last un-
less an incredible change occurs in the Radical
Cnionsts' principles. or what is equally improb-
ape, unless the Gladstonian platform is over
tnrned. 1t is most probable that the /temporar-
lily united Liberals, in concert with the Parnell-
ties, will agree upon amendments which will
be submitted to and admitted by the govern
ment. as the base of final settlement The Rad
ical tactics will isolate Lord Harrington and
accelerate the extinction Of the Wings by natur-
al absorption with the Conservatives
Mr. Gladstone, replying to resolution of con-
fidence adopted at meeting in Bradford, writes
as follows: even the disasters of party re-
dound in its honor when they arise from eacri-
fees due to public principle and to conscientious
even when erroneous, conviction. Such are the
causes from which We suffer But patience,
quiet frmness and moderation in demands and
conduct on the part of Ireland, the gradual ex-
ress of reflection the subject, will IN no long
time bring about the triumph of the right"
