london, Jan 1.-THE week has brought sew
,nl important contributions to the political con-
,royersy, none of which, however, improve the
Gladstonan outlook. Mr. Parnells Limerick
,neech was mainly intended to answer the charges
II Misrepresentation brought against him respect
;rg the Hawarden interview. On one point Mr..
psrnell scored success. This was the extract
,,om letter 10 Cecil Rhodes, the South African
millionaire. who had promised 10000 to the
league if Mr.. Parnell gave the true quotation
II would seem to follow that he may have pro-
tested at Hawarden against Mr. Gladstone's views
nf the police and the Judiciary. Mr.. Morley, how
ever has now given Hat contradiction by assert
ipp that neither the police the judiciary was
mentioned at liawardcn Mr.. rarncll's endeavor

tents Of the manifesto before Mr.. Parnell issued
II proved n failure, because Mr.. Mccarthy ayers
that he never revealed the message which Mr..
Parnell ntrustnd to HIM to give to the Grand Old
Man. These conflicts of testimony give war
nnty TO Mr. Parncll's demand that Mr.. Gladstone
make public the ilawarden memorandum. Then,
he says, the world will see who is telling the truth.
An appeal of this kind takes well with the crowd.
and the general effect OF Mr. Parnell'S Limerick
speech has been to increase his hold upon the
Irish electors
II was noticed at the Limerick meeting that
Mr. Parnell among the first to lead the cheers
for Nj. William Ol};ien from which confirmation
is gathered that any differences at Boulogne. as
referred to by Mr.. Dillon before he left America.
must have been, not much between Mr. Parncil
and Mr. O'Bren. as between The latter and the
AntiParnellics
The demand made by Mr.. Parncll that Mr..
Gladstone shall disclose the memorandum of the
Hawardcn interview is in measure supported by
prominent Radical aud Parnellitc organs. like The
Manchester Guardian" which are asking Mr..
Gladstone 10 take the Liberal party into his con-
fdence. He. however. maFes 40 sign Meantime

announcement of Sir William is regarded as the
watchword of The IAberal partY 1t is the more si@-
nifcant because while Mr. Gladstone has been lately
declaring 10 his bewildered followers that MS
measures of Home Rule will satisfy Ireland. ana
while Mr. Morley has echoed the same sentiment,
Sir William declares in this his latest manifesto
that in the settlement of Home Ruie the Jnos-
lIrlIt ur tt,e Liberal party must have place, ana
that the subject must not be determined ry the
demands Of the Irish leaders huctuatlng accord

aggravating to the Gladstonians that. not only i
their support 70 Home Rule thus thrown back
into their faces. but none OF the lrlsh iacuohs
are willing to accept, as final settlement, the
basis Of Mr. Gladstone's measure of 1856. ms
condition Of affairs makes it exceedingly dlncun
for party men TO indicate the course Of pOlity to
he pursued. especially as public opinion in Eng
land and Scotland seems more declared than ever
that that measure went deal too far. II con-
does not escape observation that IN Mr..
Gladstone's letter to Mr. furncss he advocated
electoral reform on the basis of one man. one
vote. and that Mr. Trevelyan has since made
similar demand coupled with a cry for shorter

Mr.. Morleys speech has given far less en-

courts letter The latter runs upon the cry OF
down with Mr.. Parnell at all cost, in which he
has the support of Sir Wilfrd Lawson, Mr.. Labon-

not unkindly of Mr. Parnell. His language was
