When it was announced q few days
ago that Gladstone, the grand old
man" of European politicts, had
made a speech at the opening Of the
English Parliament ecliDsing all of
his former able efforts, it was not
realized by the general public that
he would overthrow his antagonist,
Lord Salisbury, who succeeded to
the Prime Ministry a few months
ago. The Salisbury lease of power.
however, has proven short-lived, the
ministry having been defeated, and
having resigned. It is now announ-
ced that Gladstone will resume his
place, with a ministry in Which Par
nell, the great Irish leader, may
have seat. The Irish question has
been difficult problem in English
politics for a long time, and with
such an able leader as Parnell the
Irish cause has at last been brought
to triumph. Mr.. Parnell holds the
balance of power, and has urged il
with crushing effect on the late tory
government. Gladstone's course has
been one Of broad and progressive
craftsmanship, and it is more than
likely that he will now solve the
Irish problem by such concessions as
will be welcome to the 'ould sod,"
though in the shape of long delayed
justice.
