that the Department Of Massachusetts, at least, has
never been in politics, and / further say, without
hesitation that the soldiers Of the Union, without

EXTREME sEPARATIsT-THE PREMIER
FkvORs WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

London, Nov 3o-Lord Salisbury, in speech
at Edinburgh to-day, referring TO the treatment Of
Irish political prisoners, held that such treatment
ought to deter others from following their example.
and that long as such offenders were dangerous
to the community they must be treated like other
offenders. He wanted the Unionists to watch Mr..
Gladstone. who, he said, showing an increasing
tendency to accept the EXTREMIST views OF the Sep
sratists There was growing in Mr.. Gladstones
mind a distinct ideso Of the entire separation Of
Ireland. He Salisbury trusted that Scotch Liberals
would cease to attach importance to mere party
The great questions Of upholding the Empire
and providing employment for its teeming millions
ought TO be considered supreme, from patriotic
point Of view.
In HIS speech at Edinburgh yesterday Lord Sails
bury declared himself in favor of woman suffrage,
and said he hoped the day was not far distant when
women would be allowed to vote.
Referring to the arrears of rent question, Lord
Salisbury cOnended that there could not be greater
mistake than to compare the position of the Scotch
crofers with that Of the Irish tenants The latter
he said obtained assistance and privileges which
were unknown in ally other country.
