BELFAST June 14.-Rev. Hugh Hanna,

Enoch's church, this city, preached a SER
mon last evening on the recent riots. He
said:
I'VE will noa become partners OF the apos-
ties OF seditiOn and outrage. but we win de-
tend ourselves from the doni iaation Of such.
The loyal celebration OF tho victory enraged
the government, which, trait0rous 10 Its trust,,
has slaughtered our people. We are resolved
TO maintain our relations with England. If
the government thinks that Ulster win be
easily suhiugated by a seditiOuH Parliament
it has sgnaiiy fRiled in Its estimate OF us.
The people OF the North have effective means
OF resIs tance, but the time has not come yer to
employ them. The humhlest OF the seven
victims who succumbed last.WedDesday under

upon obyious fallaeies.
The Chronicle says: "The address id

means up 10 the high standard Of Mr..
Gladst0ne's former manifestOes."
| The Times pronounces Mr.. Giadstoue's
manifesto argumentatively and histork
cally weak. "lt does not offer,v says the
Times, "a single argument to prove that
coercion is the only alternative policy To-
home rule for ireland. Mr.. Chamberlain
gave one alternative other than coercion,
and Mr.. Morley suggested a fourth by ad-
mitting that it was possible TO govern
Ireland as a crown colony.

"When worst comes to worst It Is always

ONLY GLADsToNE's EYES OPEN.
The Manchester Guardian says that OF
Mr.. Gladstone, Lord Salisbury and Mr..
Chamberlain, Gladstone alone sees the
desperate circumstances in which the
country Is placed by the mistaken policy
on the Irish question, and that he plOn9
perceiYes how those circumstances can
be best dealt with. 'sWe are confident"
adds the Guardian, ''that the country
Will indorse the Premier's diagnosis and
proposed remedy, for they are based Onl
rigorous common sense"
The Edin burgh Scotsman says that Mr..
Gladstone, In his manifesto, mIsrepreg
