Special Cable Dispatch 70 The EvESIso STAR
LONDON, April l2.-While Balfour was receiving
the congratulations OF his friends at the BANQUET
last night and making the usual personal attacks
on the Irish members, Mr.. Gladstone, at the Lib
eral Cluo delivered one OF the most Damaging In
dictments OF the governments policy heard IN
many years The gathering at which Mr. Clad
stone spoke was very small and select Conse-
Quently the great leader had no difficulty IN the
management OF his voice, which has shown serious
signs OF loss Of power In recent years. Otherwise
ne Is well, strong and I'm good spirits. He walked
up Two nights OF stairs preceded by Sir Walter
Foster, with light, active step, despising to use
the elevator. Balfour made no attempt to show
why the government had broken the pledges made
by every member as helps to keep them In ONCE
that Ireland should be treated the same as
England respecting local government reform. As
Gladstone said, Smith, who is an honest but by no
means brilliant man. let the cat out or the bag by
dlstlnctly fntimatfng that the fulrlment OF the
pledges was dependant on the Irish people adopt
ing tory views. Balfour, OF course, made use OF
cuttings from an obscure Irish-Amerfcan paper
witnout Wnicn as the Netos says, no orator Of his
calioer would think OF appearing on the platform
any more than a clown at a pantomine would
think OF appearing without sausagea Balfour
omitted 70 remind mis- hearers OF the strong Ian
guage used by his own side against Irish men,
bera What the public are anxious to near In
stead or personal squabbes is what the govern
ment proposes TO do TO avert the Impending
who.esale evictions At present they confine
themselves to their traditional policy OF Offering
s,old resistance TO the Irish members proposals
Parnei, however, Is not wholly dissatisfied with
the DIVISION on the bill extending the operation OF
the act OF 1881. Although more than a score or
Irish members Journeyed from Ireland TO vote
they polled nothing like their complete strength,
yet majority OF 81 was the smallest mad against
them In any division OF the present parliament.

LONDON, April 12.-The moderate republicans
after attempting the policy OF Boulanger against

will not for the present allow the defeat OF Flou-

moreover, are uneasy at the prevalence OF the pie

succeed In making the public heartily tired OF his
