Mr.. Gladstone Reviews the Irish Question.
LONDON. June 15.-Mr. Gladstone adj
dressed an enthusiastic mass-meeting in
the Drill Hall, at Plymouth, last evening,
dealing at length with the Irish question.
He maintained, first, that the separation of
a dependency had never been caused by
the granting of autonomy: second, that
separation had. in numerous cases, been
caused by the refusal of autonomy,
and, third, that there were abund-
ant cases in which separation bad
autonomy. Mr.. Gladstone supported these
propositions by reference to colonial his
tories. At the beginning of his public
career, he said. there was not a colony that
was not held by a precarious tenure; but
since being granted the fullest liberty i'm
the management of their own affairs all
have been bound strongly to the empire.
He appealed to the nation to give the same
liberty to Ireland.

delay to all trains. The wreck of a freight
train, which blocked all four tracks in the

layed trains had begun to move both east
and west, when some of them were caught
by this new mishap, and a second blockade
occurred, more serious than the first. 1t is

is, or how long it will take to repair it Some

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflaned con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness Is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
