This which his critics describe as an Inference
from Mr.. Gladstones propositions. Is merely trav
esty of them.
Mr.. Gladstone's alleged abandonment of the Land
Purchase bill brings forth bitter inquiries as to
what has become Of that obligation of honor on
which he asserted that the bill was based and as
to what Lord Spencer and Mr. Morley ~ill do. both
stepped to the lips In pledges to stand between the
Irish landlords and the Irish Parliament But MIR.
Gladstone, though he admits that the sentence OF
,E untry against the bill is irresistible does not
admit that he has abandoned the principle Of the
measure. To this he " i'll attempt to give effect BY
other meaus Nevertheless. the most will be made
by the Tories Of the fact that the bill itself Is. as
they say, @tossed overheard With cynical jocu-

The debate in the House Of Commons on the ad-
dress follows the usual course and proves dscursive
30 an unexpected degree 1t has the great merit
of rot being dull. Mr.. Parnelps amendment has
borne all the fruit he hoped for perhaps more for
Il has consolidated the alliance between the TORIES
and the Liberal Unionists. The division on this
amendment supplied the first practical test OF the
eloseness of their cohesion. Every important
member of both sections of the Liberal Unionists
voted with the Tories. The majority OF 1881 by
which the amendment was defeated was, however,
no larger than was anticipated after Mr.. Glad
stone declined to support It. In this however, as
in scme other matters, Mr.. Gladstone's absence Is
interpreted as leaving the rank and file of the party

their chcf. The great body of Gladstonian Liberals
followed the Parnellites into the lobby.
The debate moreover, has been embittered by re-
peated efforts to silence or to embarrass leading
speakers on both sides. Lord Randolph Churchilps
vain struggle to enforce the rules of the House
against Dir. Gladstone provoked reprisals all
around. The House has seldom seen in the same
space of time so much bad temper and bad manners.
Mr.. Chamberlain's speech was from the House of
Commons point of view the liveest of the session.
The Radical leader is now for variety of reasons
the best hated mao in the House. The Parnellites
accuse him Of having turned against them. The
Gladstonans complain of him as a deserter from
the Liberal ranks and resent what they call his
personal attacks on Mr.. Gladstone. Having taunted
him with his silence since the session began they
combined to prevent his breaking it. Z. r. Russers
motion to adjourn the House in order TO discuss Sir
Redvers Buller's appointment was followed by Ar
