with great m )deration and singular mild
nessn such is the Gladstonian organs description
of Mr. Gadstone's speech on the address IL puts
the organ out of tune, perhaps Will obii9e inc
man at the handle to play a tune quite dlHereht
from what has lately been heard. The Home
Rule leader has, in fact, completely surprised not
his friends only but his foes What he sald on
landing Wednesday afternoon, was entirely in the
vein so industriously worked during the recess'
Everybody who read II expected a fierce attack on
the Ministry, and supposed that his Dover coun,
sells had been forgotten abandoned. What had
banpened tince Shornclife? Not twenty four
hours had elapsed.
There are two explanations. One is that MI
Gladstones colleagues who were summoned 10 'ie
council on Wednesday evening, had PLAINLY Coid
him that the interests Of the party required
change Of tactics. The vacation campaign had
not been q success. The English people had turned
away from counsels leading, as many OF them
thought, straight 10 disregard of law and even
20 violence. Lamentations over Balfours mar
tvrs, answered very well in Ireland, but very
badly in England Attacks on magistrates, on the
police and on Dublin Castle had been overdone.
Critical elections were coming on. Southwark
and Deptford were both doubtful If the Liberal
Home Rulers were to regain their hold on the
people they must adopt moderate tone and once
more profess respect for law Hence the singular
mildness which " The Daily News" sneers at.
The other explanation is more simple Mr
Gladstone on the stump and Mr.. Gladstone III the
House Of Commons are, and always were t"o
different men 1t is difficult TO conceive OF the
Liberal leader delivering his Nottingham discourses
from the front bench That which he actually
delivered on Thursday was In tone ana temper
be6tting an ex-Prme Minister. He almost apollo
rized for the conduct Of himself and his frlends
last year There is,' he said, no disposition on
This side of the House to renew the constant agi-
tation and combats Of the prev ious session" lie
even expressed hope that debate on the address
would be kent within reasonable limits. Mr..
Smith grasped at this olive branch, and debate
proceeded that evening without acrimony or
energy Mr.. Balfour last night spoke on Coercion
I'm a manner which his own side thought convlnc-
ing, and his opponents deemed a challenge. Mr
Morley made hot answer and the prospects OF
the session rather less peaccable. The arrest
of Messrs Pyne and Gilhooly will not tend TO
soothe engry passions, albeit on legal grounds
nothing is said against this act.
Mr.. Parnells authority has once more been
wisely asserted. Some of bis heutenants came
ever from Ireland full Of heroic purposes. Bel
Ggerent rumors were persistent enough to alarm
the Tory leaders, who took unusual precautions
