Ph9nix like, from its ashes. The Glad
stonans are chagrined and perplexed be-
cause Waterford postponed indefinitely that
unity of the Nationalist party in Ireland on
which Gladstone in 1886 and ever since based
his whole argument for home rule 1t is low
thought that number of other seatslmust be
carried by the Parnellites. Their distrust OF
Gladstone is avowed. Their policy is
summed up in the word irreccncilable. The
unionists are content; they consider
home rule just as much identified with Fen =
ianlsm as Davitt would If he had been
elected. OF course they can endure to see
their opponents and their opponents unity
In this kingdom divided. They look with

A PENITENT PRETENDER.
A London paper started the story this
week that Comte de Paris had abandoned
or presently would abandon his pretensions
TO the throne of France, break up his party
organization, dissolve his committee, re-
nounce what he calls his claims, petition the
Government for leave to return to French
SOIL and become a good citizen of the
republic. 1t was pretty story
but implied a degree of patriotic
good sense on the part of this princely pre-
tender which he has heretofore omitted
to show. 1t was forthwith denied. The
denial did not induce the author to relinquish
it, nor prevent him from buttres Sing il with
many ingenious qualifications designed to
break the force or divert the mean
ing of the denial. Finally came
statement from Comte dRaussen-
Vile, which seems sufficiently explicit
He Informed the Orleanist meeting at Mar
seilles that his chiefs love for his country
would never permit him to abandon the
cause, which he considers not so much his
own as that of France. This never seemed
to cover considerable length of future
time.
