MR. GLADSTONErS LETTER.

Mr.. Gladstone has divided the Home Rule
party. but he has also raised the ethical tone
of English politics. lie has shown bis capacity
for making "A great sacrifice in the interest Of
public morals. Since 1856 he has regarded
legislative autonomy for Ireland as the supreme
question before the English people. lie divided
the Liberal party, separated himself from life
long political associates, and devoted all the
energies of his old age to the conversion of the
English constituencies to his views. After Il
protlacted period OF arduOus labor and agitl
ton he was encouraged by Home Rule gains

disgraced leader, crowned him with honor. Mr..
Gladstones own urgent warning to Mr. Par

of the Liberal members were as the cIeaklng
wind whstng in a chimney-fue. The Irish
members have shown themselves to be in

cause of Home Rule. Mr.. Gladstone, when
they have committed themselves to the sup
