THE GRAND OLD MAN.

pally with what is right, and leave
questions of mere expediency to casu-
lists whose moral perceptions are less in
fluenced by conscience than by SELF
interest and personal predictions. 1t
Is quite safe for nations, as for individ-
uals, to do right; but whether safe or
not, right is obligatory. The question
TO be considered is; "Is home rule for
ireland right?' and IL IL be so, 1t should
be granted. That there may be details
in connection with the scheme that do
not admit of easy explanation is not to
be wondered at; but as am not a polit-
ical pessimist, am ready to hope that
any difficulties that may DO encountered
shall be Of such nature as to be readily
overcome.
"Whatever the Irish Home Govern
ment may choose to do when they have
home rule is not our affair. 1t is ques-
ton which it Is not necessary to take
into view. What Immediately concerns
the British public is the question of do
ing justice to Ireland and redeeming
the character of England from the dis
honor which attaches to 1T all oyer the
world for its treatment of Ireland dur
ing the last seven hundred years. Until
the Irish difficulty is settled there will
never be real union between the two
countries, which are now united on
parchment, but not according to the
'feshy tables of the heart 1t is inn
perative that it should be settlcd-set-
tied on the ground of policy, settled on
the ground of Justice and settled espec-
tally on the ground of our hope and ar
dent longing for that union, and that
affection and that loyalty which can not
be attained by the present false and
artificial system, but which will be OBJ
tanned beyond all reasonable question
at once and forever from the free assent
and the loyal attachment Of the Irish
Nation.
at is almost needless for me to state
that am in favor Of free trade; trade as
free as it can possibly DO made. Free
trade for England has meant enlarged
commerce, increased wages, increased
subsistence, and protection means the
reverse Of all this. 1t means contracted
profits, lower wages and dear sub
sistence."
In reply to a question as to whether
some of the members of Lord Salisbury's
Cabinet did not favor moderate sys-
tenn Of protection, Mr.. Gladstone re-
piled:
"Yes, there can be no doubt as to Mr..
Chaplin being q protectionist, and hard
~ less doubt that other members of the
Government, including Lord Salisbury
himself, are in favor OF such modifica-
ton of the tariff as would be tanta-
mount to protection. OF course they
don't call it by that name; they intro
duce it with an alias, and call 1t fair
trade believe the whole Of the peo-
pie Of England know what fair trade is
that 1t is protection which dares not
show its face, and puts on hood over
its ugly features.
81 think 1t is very important that the
laboring man should learn to adjust the
machinery by which labor can act, as he
Is doing. The meaning Of 1t is great

tions, and fair principle OF division In
the fruits Of industry.
SIN the matter of education, especial
ly that bearing on practical life, Ameri'
cans are better educated than English
men, and in displaying their ingenuity
in inventions have left us far behind"
Respecting the probabilities OF his &C.
cession again to power, Mr.. Gladstone
remarked that though the result OF the
by-elections was of such a character as
to make him most sanguine OF the
speedy return Of his party to power, his
hope of such consummation was moi
based solely on that fact, but as well
upon the assured conviction that the
tide Of public opinion was surely turn.
ing in their favor.
Mr.. Gladstone lives a very regular
life at his home. He breakfasts lightly
about seven o'clock, and shortly before
eight walks to the church for prayers
To the intelligent observer the sight o!
the great statesman walking I. church
at this early hour in the morning can
not fail to be interesting. Clad in q
long coat, tightly buttoned, with long
shawl wrapped closely around his neck,
and wearing soft felt hat, his appear
ance is decidedly picturesque. Upon
his return to the castle from morning
prayers, he retires to his study, where
he reads and answers, with the aid OF
his secretary, his enormous mass OF
daily correspondence.
There is no regular hour for luncheon
at tho castle and it is partaken OF by
those at home at various times. In the
afternoon Mr.. Gladstone takes a walk II
the grounds, and If the weather is pro-
pitious usually engages in his favorits
exercise Of tree-chopping. He dimes a.
eight o'clock, afterwards reads or writes
and at ten retires for the night. Though
abstemious in his habits, he usually
drinks bitter beer with his lunch and Z
glass or two Of claret or port at dinner
Mr.. Gladstone is not in any sense ascetic,
is q generous liver, and Is great be-
lever in the virtues Of glass Of good
port wine. When engaged in speaking
his flip is a compound OF sherry and
egg, which is prepared by Mrs. Glad
stone with as much anxiety and care ~
II it were the elixir of life. Mr.. Glad
stone never smoked. He acquired his
habits at period when tobacco smoking
was generally regarded as somewhat
vulgar among the better classes.
Mr.. Gladstone usually has three books
in reading at the same time, and changes
from one to another as his mind reach
es the limit Of absorption, or when he
fancies that the volume in hand has
interested him just enough not to BE-

The Texas Spring Palace is an original
conception for presenting to the public
the products and resources of the state.
1t is not fair, in any sense of the term,
but q 'Karporama'- picture of the
fruits of the soil, tho orchard, the gar
den, the farm, the forest, the mines,
the streams-each wrought into form
and shape with great ingenuity and ar
tistio skill. The visitor who attends the
Palace to see crazy quilts, lace handker-
chiefs, embroidery, threshing machines,
clothes wringers, etc., etc., will find
these articles conspicuous only by their
absence. The grains of the country he
will find represented by beautiful pic
ture of the goddess of the forest, con-
structed of cereals, and clad in raimeitt
made of the same material .ssths whole
presenting veritable ,Rieture, beautiful,
attractive and pleasing. Every product
of the soil issseated IL the same manner,
aad~ffen finished the whole Palace pre-
sents more the appearance of a scene
from Fairyland, than gathering Of the
products of the earth.
In addition to this the threshed grains
and other products are presented by
samples in show cases, on shelves and in
glass jars, neatly arranged for exhibit
ton.
The birds of the state are there treated
by the Taxidermist' s art, and the fishes
swimming in their native element, in
glass aquariums. There are also the
song birds by the hundreds, whose voices
I'LL the building with sweet notes, attest
ing their appreciation of the beautiful
scene that surrounds them. II were
futile to attempt description of this
wonderful work. few have attempted
it, and we reproduce the efforts of some
of the more distinguished. The Fort
Collins (Col.) Courier condensed the
whole in a single sentence, exclaiming:
cit rivals all the visions of youthful

The Bucyrus (ohio) Telegraph, reoog-
nizing the poverty of the English Ian
guage to do the subject justice, said:

'It is magnificent structure, built
entirely of products from Texas. 1t is

has to offer to capital and immigration. -

There are scenes of Texas landscape,
