that his colleagues throughout the country, re-
lying upon him, would take leap in the dark.
Ii dissolution came now the measure would be
published with such completeness as would
leave the conservatives no chance to say that
the country had been deceived on any import
ant point. When the general election does
come the issue will be on definitely fought de-
clared home rule lines II the ropular vote
places Mr. Gladstone in power. tho course thus
adopted will paraIyze the opposition. The
house Of lords will not dare to reject the bill on
the ground that the vote of the electorate had
not been especially taken thereon.
Mr. dLADsToNEs BILL
Regarding the principles OF the now measure
enough mas peeA oihclally ascertained to enable
one to state that 1t gives the proposed Irish
legislature fuller power than did the bill of
1885. 1t retains the lower and upper houses of
the Irish parliament, vests the appointment of
the judiciary in the Irish executive and main
tains larger representation OF Ireland in the
imperial parliament. The complete questions Of
financial relations and tho control Of the police
are also settled.
Now that John Redmond lie the acknowledged
leader Of the Parnellites only Met Cart yite par
tisans decry the choice of the party. Impartial
observers Of John Redmond's career concur in
testfying to his ability and modesty of charac-
ter. In these respects he ought not to be con-
founded with his Shower brother, William, who
is always ready to push to the front Mr.. Par
qualities kindred to his own. He is stolid and
thoughtful, with gravity and reticelce Of
manner fitting him for the confidence of the
party leaders and now bringing him the conf
dence OF the party. He is q good platform
speaker and an able parliamentary debater. 1t

before the latter was stricken down and had re-
fused to accompany his leader to speak at Listo-
well and Creagh. 1t filled him (A1r. Dihon)
with disgust to see such man deserving the
cause because he saw it going down hill Tho
men now talking OF desertion from Parnell
were hiding in holes and corners in Dublin
when Parnell went to Creagh. where he con-
tracted his fatal illness. There was not one Of
them who would go and stand by his side.
Thus spoke MIR. Dillon. Assertions OF this kind,
however, fail to touch the reliance OF the party
in MIR. Redmond. who knew that Mr.. Parneu
trusted him to the last.
The final hope OF the restoration Of party
unity rests with Michael Davltt Ii he refraln9
from throwing his whole influence on the side
of the McCarthyites and uses his personal
power in a quiet policy of conciliation he will
