says. Mr. OnamDeIlMnb beCthblOl
from the Cabinet is the most severe
blow Mr.. Gladstone could sustain. Il
the schisn continues the next election
may result in returning the Tories Il
power q in compelling the Liberals Il
accept Mr.. Chambeflain's leadership
Either result will be fraught With mo
mentous consequences.
sRcEsDHs PROM GLADsroEE's PARTY.
II rs expected there will be six seces
sions from Mr.. Gladstone's party out
side Of the Cabinet. The report thai
Lord Spencer would resign unless the
land bill satisfied him is not true. He
hiss full confidence in Mr.. Gladstone
and assisted the latter in drafting hi
bill.
TIKI RBH QUESTION IN THE CABINET
The dsily Telegraph says Mr.. Par.
nell, vhe has been quasi officially in
formed Il the progress OF Irish mat.
tiers in the Cabinet, said when the
giving Of precedence 10 the land pur.
chase bill was proposed that he was
unable 10 support the proposition, az
his colleagues in Parliament were
stropG ~ opposed to the adoption oil
any SShEse that would delay the dis
eussion OF the question OF home rule.
In accordance with this declaration
the lBnd purchase bill was withdrawn.
Mr.. GLADSTONE,
in the House OF Commons this after
noon, stated thst on April 9Th he
would ask permission to introduce the
Irish government bill. He added that
on April 18th the budget would be in.
troduced, and that on April 18th he
would request permission 10 introduce
a bill 10 amend the laws for the sale
and puTshase OF land in Ireland. Both
Mr.. Chamberlain and Mr.. Trevelyan,
the seeding members OF the Cabinet,
were present when Mr.. Gladstone was
making his announcements. They sat
below the gangway, chatting with
Lord Harrington and Sir Henry James.
GhAaheTIAin's Secession from the
Gladstone Cabinet,
Lenden special: The best iniorma-
ton leads 70 the belief that Mr.. Cham
berlain has definitely resolved TO con-
sumInate his treason and strike, IL pos
Bible, fatal blow at Mr.. Gladstone's
power aud prestige. Weeks ago peo.
pie were advised OF Ohamberlain's in
tended treaehery. 1t was then only
known 10 a few Of his trusted friends.
In a secret conclave he had declared
his hostility to Mr.. Gladstone's home
rule scheme, and his resolution 20 de-
feat IL at all coslp. Within few hours
Of this writing i was informed from
sure O0rce OF his declaration. Only
an elect lew were present, but among
them were secret enemies OF the eau
Gus boss, Last week | explained some
OF the secret reasons for Mr.. Chamber
lain's hostility to Mr.. Gladstone, and
within the last few days many OF the
Liberal papers openly charge him with
acting nom motives OF personal pique
and personal ambition. Once the fight
10 fairly opened considerable light will
be thrown on Mr.. 9 amberlsin's po-
litical soheming during the past few
years which cannot fail to damage
him in the public estimation, and per
haps destroy his chance OF ever being
the Prime Minister Of England.
A PRIVATE RECORD TO RxPosE.
AS IN the case OF Lord Randolph
Churchill, the Irish party have in re-
serve fund OF startling revelations.
Which, II theY o ce saw the light,
would damage Mr.. Chamber ain ire
trievably. These secrets are, of courte.
privileged to certain point, but there
is no good reas IN why the Irish party
should keep Quixotic good faith with
. man who has betrayed them. IL ia
by no means clear that Mr.. Chamber
lain will succeed In bringing any inn
Portant section Of the Radicals with
him against Mr.. Gladstone and home
rule. Undoubtedly he has achieved
9 considerable success in working up
an opposition to Mr.. Gladstone's
scheme for buying out the Irish land
lords, but the Radicals who support
him mo { wsrmly on the financial
question have told me that they would
vote with Mr.. Gladstone on home
rule. Many of the Radicals saw;
why buy out the landlords? They
are the iebbeTs. Let the Irish Parlis.
ment deal with them"
This d not reassurinR state of mind
Tor Irish Or English landlords. How
ever, the Radicals are not everybody.
BY themselves they can do nothing.
III home rule Is to be won the mod. |
crate Wings and Tories must be con-
oihated, and this can only be done nv
paying the Irish landlords handsome
sum to get cut.
PAY OR FIGHT.
Mr.. Parnelis dictuln is absolutely
rue thas ireland must pay or fpht.b
and rational people think Il better 10 |
pay Elm, 600, 900 than TO fight England.
and perhaps get beaten. Since the
Land League agitation began Ireland
has paid in imperial taxes and rent |
over &lo0 900, 900 and unless we can |
come TO terms with the British Patlia. |
nent We must continue TO pay or flSht, |
and perbaos have TO 90 on paving |
when the Aghtingis over. This aspect |
OF the question Is worth the serious
'son liberation Of reasonable people |
both in Ireland and America.
From Radical point Of view, Mr.. |
Ohamberlain's secession from Mr..
GladstOne's Cabinet has also its seri. |
GUS aspect. The split in the Liberal |
party may postpons for years the ur- |
gent reforms eagerly demanded by the
people q Scotland, Wales aud Eng. |
and. This view will grow clearer
both TO the people and politicians as
time advances. At present, gloomy |
feelings arc entertained by the Rsdi. |
Gals as 70 the future. The heayieet |
punishment will fall on Great Britain. |
should Mr. Gladstone be defeated, !
home rule would no doubt be post. |
