LONDON, June 27.-In Ireland seventy
seven Parnellite candidates will meet with
no opposition and seven seats will DO con-
tested. In London nine Tory seats will
not be contested. In Scotland Unionists
and Conservatives will contest sixty out of
seventy seats. Froude, tho historian,
writes:
The Irish will be loyal and obedieut if
firmly, but justly. governed. They arc as
little capable OF governing themselves as
ships crew or an English public school.
There is in Ireland q disconnected
and miserable population. among W hom the
desire for separation and hatred for England
are universal. The proposed legislation
would place the loyal and worthy minority at
the mercy Of the Eutinous and worthless.
1t was the least promising expedient ever
proposed to recover q shaken allegiance. In
one shape or another home rule has been
tried hundred times. The proposals of MIR.
Gladstone are a repetition of these attempts
under varying forms, which have always
headed toward disaster. frul, just admin
istration, with a distinct assurance that sep
aration would never be tolerated, would have
the same effect in Ireland as in other coun-
tries wholly and resoluteIy controlled.
CARDINAL MANNING
has written letter to deny the statement
circulated that he was an opponent of home
rule. On the contrary, he says, he has al
ways found plan of home rule consistent
with the integrity Of the empire and the
Sovreignity of the imperial parliament.
Irish Presbyterians have circulated resolu-
lions in favor of supporting unionist candi-
dates in the coming elections. The Dub
lin Methodist conference by vote
OF 1856 to % has resolved not
to interfere in politics. Count de

vice chancellor of the university, in thank

UnioniStS of Ulster have issued this adj
dress:
To the People Of the United Kingdom: AS
Irishmen we regret that we find ourselves in
! opposition to so many Of out countrym en-
PEELED to reject the proposals Of our long
trusted leaders. We are driven to this atti-
tude through simple adherence to the
PRINCIPLES OF LIBERALISM.
For us the maintenance of the uuion means
the assurance of our future. Under
the union, Ulster, once the bleak
est and most sterile, has become the
most cultivated. prosperous and law-abiding
province of Ireland, second to none in loyalty
to the queen. We protest against Mr.
Gladstone's policy. 1t is ruinous to
the best interests Of the country.
1t iS already breaking up mercantile conf
dence, depreciat1ng Irish securities and driv-
ing capital by wholesale out of the country.
The Ulster Liberals believe that there is an
alternative policy. AT its root lies such q
| thorough, comprehensive settlement of the
land question as will lead naturally and
gradually to a widespread system of occupy
| ing ownership in the country. With such u
settlement Agrarian outrages will disappear
and the way will be open for the develop
ment Of local government. We appeal with
confidence to our brethren in England and
Scotland to support us in this supreme crisis.
MIR. CHAMBERLAIN ANTEsl
I have earnestly desired to avoid anything
like personal controversy with the premier
but the statement he made in his speech on
Friday, aluding to plan Of Irish land pur-
chase, which he saysI requested him to have
printed for submiital to the government,

stone, who more than once appears to have
been charged with the duty OF revealing con-
fidential matters has given an incomplete
and misleading description of this plsu in
regard to which / may point out that
any knowledge he may possess of the docu-
lDent submitted to the cabinet can only have
been acquired by a betrayal of confidence on
the part Of one of its members. The facts
are as follows: Shortly after I Joined the
cgbinet Mr.. Gladstone asked if I had any
ideas on the land question and If / had to sub
nit them in writing. I told him that had
only notions, and that without official infor-
nation was unable to test their value, but

FOR MR.. GLADSTONE'S OWN INFORMATION
did so, and heard nc more of the matter
until the second week of March, when Mr.
Gladstone, by letter. asked my permission to
circulate my suggestions among the members
Of the cabinet. complied and the paper
was circulated, not at my request, but at Mr.
Gladstoue's special desire. Mr.. Gladstone did
not adopt my suggestions, and did not think
it worth my while to press them. They were
never discussed by the cabinet. The premier
now invites me to publish them. hope that
at some future time, when am in O position
to develop them in the light of official nforma-
ton, l maybe enabled to submit them to general
criticism. Meanwhile I am not disposed to
divert attention from the governments pro-
posai to alternatives only formulated for Mr.
GladStone'S private meditation. AL l will
permit myself to say is that they differ in
every essential particular from the govern
ment's plan-above all in this, that they do
not contemplate the establishment of sep
arate, practically independent, legislative
body at Dublin. On the contrary, they pre-
sumo the maintenance of the unquestioned
authority Of the imperial parliament.
