George NJ. Eldredge, Esq, represcn.
tavive from this parish, quietly pass
ed away at his home. about 6 miles
from town. He was a man of. firm
integrity, %spotless honor, and strong
convictions. So highly impressed
were OIL people with his mental and
moral merit that they chose him
(much against his own in%clinations
and despite his advancing years. by
an overwhelming majority to repre-.
sent them in tue legislature. Here
he soon made his mark. In his death
his family have lost a loving parent,
his friends a prudent counselor, the
parish an honored citizen and a wise
and faithful official. His funeral
which took place Wednesday at the
Masonic Cemetery. and was we'll at.
tended Notwithstanding the forbid

There IS much inconsistency in
the reasoning Of Bro. Puckette Of

lawyer but to the litigant. The ex-

but the purse Of the lawyer is not
fattened any by this system of ad.

"For my part" says Mr.. Morley.@ al want two
things. want order IN Ireland and want power
in the House of Commons at Westminster" He
proposes to get the latter by getting rid of the
Irish that is the cardinal point on which all hangs.
Young member as he is, Mr.. Morley sees no other
way of restoring to the House control of its own
business than by inducing Mr.. Parneli and his
following to take themselves out Of tho way. He
knows, he admits, that the dangers of an Irish
Parliament are tremendous" He does not under
take to say how they should be averted or what
shape the new constitution should take. But-and
this is the most significant part of his speechhe is
prepared to accept a scheme at Mr. Gladstones
hands. Mr.. Gladstone alone handle Home
Ruie. is aono capable of supplying constructive
solution OF the Irish problem.
Now that is the first declaration of the kind from
any man of position in the Liberal party since the
Hawarden Home Rule manifesto. " I am ready to
follow says Mr.. Morley to Mr.. Gladstone. If you
areready to lead" doubt notthat Mr. Morley speaks
Tor otheis than himself; probably for these Radi-
calls who ara dissatisfied with Mr.. .Cham6erlains
refusal to accept Home Rule at Mr. Gladstones
hands. To that extent, Mr.. Morley and his friends
are a reinforcement to Mr.. Gladstone. But his
declaration has different significance. 1t is an
intimation that tho Liberal party which, lately
consisted Of two sections. now consists of three.
