votes would be lost or won. So in England he

! Perhaps the best reply to that view may be
Sopndin the following sentences Of Mr.. Gladstone,
which quote both as a reply and be-
cause they denote the high-water mark in
his mind on this momentous issue. Naturally"

come without the bitterness which, unfortunately,

win probably read this oracular dehverance with
feelings Of profound than1fulness that Mr.. Glad
stone Is in his eightteth year, know they do SO
sssd IL, and, what is more, they plainly express
thsir thaakfuiness. They accuse Mr.. Gladstone OF
allowing his passion for Home Rule TO control bus
siiecsicn for the Church OF England. They COM
plain shet hs is Willing to subject the Church TO
ehe dominion of the majority for the time being,
ana thss bis only care is 70 postpone the crash till
sfter his time. II he has reused enthusiasm in

Ghurchmen all over England. From a political
!point Of view this last is less important. since

English Home Rule organs care 20 dwell on the
fact that tAe former president Of the American
Land League is accused Of a share in the murder,
Iner, on the other hand do the Unionist papers
show any eagerness TO assume mr. Sullivans
guilt, or attempt as yet to make capital out of
these amazing disclosures. What the Unionists
say in private is that they believe that others still
more damaging are to come. and they prefer 10
wait But some compliments 10 the Chicago jury
appear in English print What the jury say about
secret societies is here assumed to express the
general sentiment Of America.
