Of his claim to the Leadership of the House and
Mr.. Goschens damaging criticism on Mr.. Glad
stones Newcastle speech and on the Schnadhorst
programme to which Mr.. Gladstone said ditto
more or less heartily. Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.
Schnadhorst propose, said Mr.. Goschen, hve tun-
damental changes in the Constitution: abolition
or reform of the House of Lords; one man, one
vote 4; shorter Parliaments; payment of Members;
and Home Rule. BE the merits Of these proposals
what they may, three of them are innovations of
the gravest kind. 1t is idle to expect them to
be carried without long agitation and direct ap-
peals to the people. In short, there must be
at least three dissoutions and three general
elections before they are carried. The Newcastle
programme bristles with dissolution, said Mr..
Goschen. 1t is not bad phrase to fling to the
Nation which, on the whole, prefers peaceful pol
itics.
There is not the slightest sign Of reunion be-
tween the Parnellites and McCarthyitcs There
are many signs that the struggle between THESE
two Irish factions, far from ending with Mr.
parnell's death, is embittcred by it, and will be
prolonged to a more bitter end. Panellism docs
not die with Mr.. Parnell any more than Glad
stonism would die with Mr.. Gladstone. There Is
vital principle in both Parnellism stood for all
there was in Home Rule about which the Irish
neople most cared When the majority of his
followers deserted him, they thought they were
going to get what they wanted by desertlon Mr..
Parnell himself believed they would find out their
mistake and come back to him at the end of two
or three years. The great outpouring OF people
AZ his funeral last Sunday and the passionate
demonstration of grief by great Irish multitudes
showed how little he had lost his hold on Dublin
