| HRELAND'S HOPE FOR HOME IL l. e
| ment HasNOt Made Sufficient Provi-
| sions for Legislation-The Irish Have
/ Little Hope In the Tories.
| LONDON, Nov. 14.-The Gladstonians have
gained bothing by the suggestion of the lead
| er that union of the Liberals is attainable
by insistence upon the early productions of
the governments plans for Ireland. The
Unionists treat the tactics indicated in Mr..
Gladstones letters to Baron Wolverton and
the Scottish Liberals as a feebly conceived
snare to entrap them into assisting in the
destruction of the government Immediately
upon the opening of Parliament by leading
them to support Gladstonian amendment
to the Queens speech to- the effect that the
government have not made sufficient provi-
sions to meet the claims of Irish legislation.
Mr.. Gladstone is certain to move such an
amendment, but there is no doubt that he
will again find himself foiled by solid
antagonistic vote made up of the Conserva-
tives and Liberal Unionists. The resolu-
lions to be adopted at the coming
conference of Unionists will seek to
define the position of that par
ty toward the Gladstonians with
unmistakable clearness. Lord Harrington,
Sir Henry James and Mr.. Goschen have
drawn up programme affirming permanent
principles of the party without an absolute
acceptance of which they believe reunion of
the old Liberal party to be impossible.
Revision of this platform is proceeding pri-
vately, but it is known to affirm that a set
Element of the agrarian question must pre-
cede local government legislation; that
continuance of the agitation to give legisla-
tive powers to the Irish can only tend to re-
tard the development of prosperity in Ire
land and that after sufficient time has been
allowed to determine the effect of a removal
of agrarian grievances home rule schemes
may be considered if Ireland still remains
disconnected. The Glads tonians and the
Parnellites will equally represent the policy
Irish question. At this time the plat
form is not acceptable to one branch who OBJ
ject to Gladstone's proposals, chiefly
because they involve the government with
representation and the appropriation of land
at the expense of the English rate payer
During the week several of the most promi
nent members of this section who up to the
present adhered to Mr.. Gladstone have Sc
coded, their grounds being explicitly stated
in letter from Mr.. William Saunders, late
member for Hull, recently addressed to his
disappointment in common with that
of many other Liberal politicians that
the results of the Leeds Liberal
conference force the conclusion that the re-
tention by the Liberal leaders of Mr.. Glad
stones Irish proposals caused the disruption
of the party, notably those which suggested
government without representation and the
purchase of land by British credit. Mr.. Saun-
ders' letter accurately embodies sentiments
which are growing in strength among those
Radicals willing to support home rule in a
modified form, but can neither adhere to
Lord Harrington nor submit to Mr.. Glad
stone, but will form an independent section,
thus further weakening the compact Liberal
vote.
The government are preparing to cement
their alliance with the Unionists by making
the land purchase bill the leading feature Of
the session. The bill is being drafted under
the supervision of a special cabinet commit
tee consisting of Lord Churchill, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach and Lord Ashbourne. The
measure is vast extension of the Ashbourne
act and will inevitably imperil the existence
of the government and Gladstone's designs
may lead to a rupture of the radical Unionists
from the Wings. The degree of success
w
in their Irish policy seems in doubt. At the
recent league convention in Liverpool, which
your correspondent attended, there seemed
to be little hope of the Tories doing any real
good. The Irish, however, seem disposed to
give them chance, but it is felt that if the
Conservatives merely desire to strengthen
themselves in power by soothing the Irish ag-
itation trouble will soon begin anew. The
Irish tenants after some show of independence
of the league are now following the pro-
gramme advocated by United Ireland. Wher-
ever the tenants are evicted the Parnellites
organize meetings and arrange for visits and
exhortations. 1t is realized that every case
of surrender on the part of tenant encour-
ages the worst landlords and that it is neces-
sary to keep the people in line. The Irish
Loyal Patriotic union, secretly assisted by
the British Liberty and Proper
ty Defense league, is straining
every nerve against the Parnellites
and is enormously active in England, food
ing the country with pamphlets and scurril-
GUS cartoons. The union publishes weekly
half penny paper full of garbled extracts
from Parnellite speeches. The union must
have agents in America, because every num-
Der of the aforesaid newspaper contains ex-
tracts from Irish American speeches. The
most obscure orators are thus honored and
every anti-English sentiment is quoted and
scattered broadcast over England, Ireland
ord Scotland
