The statement Of Mr.. Gladstone liz his let
ter to Lord Roseberry that he conceives that
the country has indicated a very general
desire to retain the Irish members ct West
minister, and that I'VE recognize that desire,
and are prepared to give it effect" must be
regarded as very important admission, and
one that may result In great changes in the
policy Of the GladstOnian party, as we'll as
OF that large section of dissentients led by
Harrington and Chamberlain and denoni
mated the Liberal Unionist party. When in
the spring of 1886 Mr.. Gladstone brought
forward his plan for home rule for Ireland.
1t was that feature of it removing the Irish
members from the Westminster Parliament
which caused the dissensions Il the Liberal
cabinet and finally the schism in the Liberal
party. Chamberlain at once took the ground
that the Irish representation 4 Westminster
must never be given up. Wt.le asserting
heartily to the principle Of autonomy for Ire
land he strenuously insisted that Mr. Glad
stones plan involved separation whereas fed
GRAFTON was the only principle in accordance
with democratic aspirations and experience
A separate and independent Parliament. in
Dublin the Conservatives and Liberal dis
sentients would not agree to, and so far they
have managed to carry the majority of Par
Lament. Mr.. Gladstone's admission that the
country continues in his opponents way of
thinking instead of coming over to his own,
and that he is ready to give effect to popular
desire, must mean. If it means anything, that
he has given up so much of his scheme as
related to an independent, coordinate, Irish
Del IA
has given up the idea of home rule. He
merely seems to be progressing to some plan
of federation which shall preserve the out
ward unity of the Empire while giving to
Ireland sufficient measure of autonomy.

START In LIFE STORIEs-J. T. Trowbridge's
stories for young people have been read by
the boys and girls of the country for many
years; and each succeeding story has been
more eagerly read by his host of admirers
than the ones which have preceded. The en-
thusiasm which he has kindled in young
hearts is widespread and genuine, because
confidence has been gained that what he
writes will have a counterpartin others lives
that it will be of real interest; that it will
point in an unobtusive way to a healthy
moral; and so there is an outstretched hand
from American homes to welcome whatever
lie has to say. Two volumes of the Start
in Life Stories are ready for the public from
LEE AND SHEPARD's Boston Publishing House,
their titles being respectively a Start in
Life" and Riding His Time" These two
bright books will increase Mr.. Trowbridge's
reputation for the sort of stories that have
made better the young folks of the land, and
giving untold happiness to millions of readers.
The viYidness of the pictures which Mr.. Trow-
bridge has drawn, the life-like portraiture of
his heroes in "a Start in Life" and "Biding
His Time" guarantee that these books will
fairly jump into popular favor.
