two learned men, in discussion on the

the thought was inspired while the

hat the control of the police, beyond
else, ought to be entrusted
TO the Irish parliament, for in the words
Of Mr.. Morley. if q community is not tit

did not Mr.. Parnell tell his countrymen
that Gladstone would not transfer the
control of the police from the imperial
to the local parliament. until he learned
that Gladstone objected to his leadership
on the ground OF immortality? More
than year had elapsed since the Ha-
warden interview, and Parnell had kept
silent. For the first time he revealed
the secret in his manifesto when the
question of his further leadership of the
Irish party was under consideration.
There is a Question of veracity at stake
between Parnen and Gladstone. Which
of them are we to believer. In his travels
through ireland Parnell reiterates the
story of Hawarden notwithstanding the
fact that Gladstone and Morley fatty
denied his allegations as soon as his
manifesto appeared. His organ, United
Ireland, says that Gladstone's memoir

the best evidence of the matter, and that

that the tax proposed by the govern

prevent the country from falling to the

a very vital question for Ireland that
she retains her present representation

DOWNFALL OF SIGNOR URIsPI.

In heated debate In the Italian
Chamber OF Deputies on Saturday last.
M. Crlspi, the prime minister, made use
of an expression which caused his col
leagues to desert him and brought ON a
crisis resulting in his defeat and resig
nation. A bill was introduced BY the
ministry to increase the tariff on certain
imports and the tax On the manufacture
of alcohol. It was vehemently opposed
by the Conservatives, and M. Crlspl in
replying to them urged that the taxes
proposed were necessary to prevent the
country from relapsing into the servlle
condition in which it was, as regards
foreign powers, in 1874. The present
minister of public works, who was
member of the ministry in that year,
became exasperated and left his seat
amid the cheers of the opposition
benches. Signor Crispi, we are told.
was greatly agltated and became death
ly pale. He attempted to modify bis
language, but such were The hoWls OF
his opponents that he could not De
heard, Several members then opposed
the bill in strong language, and ON a
division it was rejected by a vote OF 1856
to 1873 Crispi, in the course Of the day,
placed his resignation in the hands OF
King Humbert, bat his Majerty declined
to accept it, The crisis was complete
and it is considered very improbable
whether Crispi will be able to recon
struct his cabinet. This crisis is the
outcome of the burdens0me taxation
levied on the Italian people to maintain
their position in the triple alliance.

blned against Russia aud France. The

to oppose ,347 900 Of Russia and France.
but these figures give an inadequate
idea of the number Of men that can be
placed IN the field in the event Of war
by the opposing governments, as no &C
count is taken of the reserves and
militia. Italy alone has fighting
strength of $40 900 III line and reserves,
and 372, 200 militia, making total OF
1920, 900 ready for an emergency.
Nearly half of Italv's total outlay is
spent upon its army and navy. The
budget just reported asked for twice the
sum appropriated in 1879 and $25 GOO 600
more than was appropriated in 1890.
The total asked for this year for arma-
ments amounts to the enormous sum OF
S1l3 600 GOO There is deficit in the
income of 1891 of $l2 coo 600, and an es
timated deficit equally large for each OF
the next four years to come. Italy then
is in bad financial condition, and the
people are FESTIVE under heavy taxation.
1t is estimated that the total annual
taxation is about Sill so per capita
While the total wealth of France IS $lO5
per capita, the wealth Of Italy is onlY
$36 per capita, and in proportion to the
wealth Of Italy the people bear heavier
burden of taxation than any others IN
Europe. In fact, they are taxed in
proportion to their wealth four times a.
heavily as the French and five or six
times as heavily as the English, accord

The IRISH UONSTABULARY.

We publish to-day on our first page
the main portion of Mr.. John Morley
address to his constituents at Newcastle
on-Tyne. Anything that Mr.. Morley
says on the Irish question is OF interest
at this time, Next to Gladstone, there
is more importance attached to what he
saws than to the utterances of any other
man in the Liberal ranks. In the course
of his address he referred to the Hawar-
den interview and said be had Glad
stones direct authority to deny that the
constabulary and the maglstracy were
mentioned, and that it was proposed to
hand over the judiciary to the government
for fen years or for any other period. Mr..
Parnell stated in his manifesto that
Gladstone would not give the Irish par
lament the control of the police. Mr..
Parnell must have misunderstood Or
misrepresented HIM, for in a speech
delivered in London on July 6, 1889,
Mr.. Gladstone uttered the following
words:
I'VE are for trusting the people freely
and fully in every section that we believe
them qualified to perform, and I must
say in nv opinion that there is one
question beyond all others which, under
the principles of local government,
ought to be entrusted to them and to
nobody else, and that IS what is called
the care Of the police. For what is
meant by the care of the police? The
care of each mans person and each
mans property, and by far the best
organ for the protection Of person and
properly IS the strictly local organ, a
local organ founded on the free choice of
the people, because local community
at once takes the most direct interest in
the maintaining of security For person
and property. and has an enormous
superiority in the choice and application
of the means by which that great end
can be attained
In the face of that statement, Mr..
Parnel] in recent speech IN Dublin
said that it is absolutely necessary that
when the Irish people are given the
right of managing their own domestic
affairs. they shall have the power to
assert that right in their own country by
having the control of the civil police
force in ireland, thus implying that
Gladstone would not give them the con-
troll of the police.
Mr.. Morley in the address printed by
us to-day refers to the police question as
follows:
s sWhat would I do about the pollce?'
In 1856 what we proposed and what we
provided for was the creation of civil
force under the control of local author
tiles and Mr.. Gladstone expressly
said in his speech in which he
introduced the Home Rule bill that we
had no desire to exempt the police of
Ireland from the control of the Irish
legislative body. Gentlemen, If q COM
munity is not fit to have control of Its own
police it is certainly not fit to have home
rule at all. But until the Irish parlia-
ment had organized q civil police, the
Lord Lieutsnant was to retain control Of
the present armed and military
force as q temporary and transitory
measure. to bridge over the interregnum
before the Irish government had settled
the question Of its own police in towns
and counties. = s.s5 IL. s.3s5

CHURCH Progress: DIR. Briggs is a
Presbyterian, Or. McQaeary an Epis-
capalian-at least SO each claims. DR..
Briggs, now holding the chair of ''Bibli"
cal Theology" in the Presbyterian
"Divinity School'' in New York, was
the foremost advocate for the REJECTION
Of the Westminster Confession in the
recent general assembly at Saratoga.
This gentleman now occupies the most
important chair in the Divinity School,
and will no doubt teach an anti West
minister doctrine. DR.. McQueary has
just been tried for heresY by some of his
fellow Episcopalians, and although he
denied the divinity OF Our Lord out and
out they had no way of declaring him
guilty Of the charge. Both cases are
pertinent examples Of the emascnlated
condition of Professionalism.

THIS is what Parnell said in his

doubt, on the threshold of real legis-

that no harm can possibly result to the
great imperial interests Of the United

of legitimate freedom and independ.

determined that the solution OF the
problem is to be not merely treaty Of
peace between two nations. but real
and lasting settlement of a vexed cues.
