Home Rule with Mr. Parnell, you shall have neither
Parnell nor Home Rule. While independence is
denied to the Irish, Mr.. Gladstone discaims, with
humility, all notion of debating to them; but, if

submit to his veto In respect of the man whom he
and they not long since regarded pre-eminently
their fit and rightful leader.
| Mr.. Parnells position this week u.s. at least in
England, distinctly worse than last, not because
of this fresh outburst Of Mr.. Gladstone's. but
because of what has happened in Cork. lie had

| flung down, perhaps in the excitement Of the
moment, challenge to his opponents. The Cork

Mr. Justin Mccarthy has already found the
task of leading the Irish party too much for him

among the Anti-Parnellitcs.
Parliament has not done much except routine
business. The most striking act in the House OF
| Commons is the second reading of the Local
| Option bill for Wales. BY majority OF six the
temperance fanatics have scored, for this is a
measure not Of rational temperance, but Of IRA
tional excess, crude, foolish, probably impossible
