Newspaper Comment on the Pre-
mIer,S Manifesto.


LONDON. May 1.-The Post, comment
ing on Mr.. Gladstone's manifesto to his con-
stituency, says the document bristles with
out upon obvious fallacies.
The Chronicle says:
EThe address is disappointing. 1t is needless
to say that it is able and ingenious, but it is
by no means up to the high standard of Mr..
Gladstones former manifestos.
The Conservative Provincial papers bit
terly criticise Mr.. Gladstone's manifesto
The Irish papers do not make their COM
ments feature of their issues, but criticise
it as matter Of course according TO their
party leanings.
The Times pronounces the manifesto
argumentatively and historically weak.
lit does not Offer says the Times, "a sin
gle argument to prove that coercion is the
only alternative policy for home rule for
Ireland. Mr.. Chamberlain gave an alterna-
tive other than coercion, and Mr.. John Nor
ley suggests a fourth by admitting that it was
possible to govern Ireland as q crown colony
When the worst comes to the worst, it is al
ways open to Englishmen to say they prefer
separation, pure and simple, to yielding to
the intolerable demands of the home rule fac
ton. 1t must be made clear that there is
another alternative, namely: To give Ireland
local control OF her affairs on the same scale
as given to England and Scotland, and on
principles as applicable to these countries as
to Ireland
EDINBURG, June 14.--'The Scotsman
says that Mr.. Gladstone in his manifesto

question of coercion versus home rule. If
it had, it would never have defeated the
government On this issue.
MANCHESTER, June 14.-The Guardian
says that of Gladstone, Salisbury and
Chamberlain, MI. Gladstone alone sees the
desperate circumstances in which the coun-
try is placed by the mistaken policy on the
Irish question, and that he alone perceives
how these circumstances can be best dealt
with. I'VE are confident" adds the Guar
dian, "that the country will endorse the
premier's diagnosis and proposed remedy,
for they are based on rigorous sense"
The Belfast Riots.
BELFAST, June 1.-THE Rev. Hugh
Hanna, d. D., Presbyterian minister of St.
Enoch's church, this city, preached SER
mon last evening on the recent riots. He
said:
We will not become partners of the apostles
of sedition and outrage, but we will defend
ourselves from the domination of SUCH The
loyal celebration OF victory enraged the gov
eminent, which, traitorous to it's trust, has
slaughtered our people. We are resolved to
maintain our relations with England. If the
government thinks that Ulster will be easily
subjugated by a seditious parliament, it has
signally failed in its estimate of u.s. The
people Of the North have effective means of
resistance, but the time has not come vet to
employ them. The humblest of the seven
victims who succumbed last Wednesday under
the murderous fire of Mr.. Morley's militia
presented higher and nobler type of charac-
ter than does Mr. Morley
The Catholic clergy of Belfast yesterday
congratulated their people upon their pa
thence aud forbearance under provoking
circumstances, and urged them to continue
to keep the peace.
