| IL TO be, dead. Il did not say the Gladstonans
had buried it," adds the Birmingham orator wit
| tily enough "on the contrary, l perfectly
ready to acknowledge that they still carry the
corpse in front of their army, just in ages long
| gone by barbarous nations used to carry the body
| of some deceased saint warrior" He presses
still more strongly the fact that Home Rule, as
professed by Mr.. Gladstone, means Dublin
! Parliament subordinate to the Imperial Parlia
| ment; while the Home Rule to which both Par
nellites and Anti-Parnellites stand pledged means
| a Dublin Parliament independent of the Imperial
| Parliament II thefe be still any life in Home
| Rule this dilemma is from which Home
| Rulers must be anxious to point out some means
of escape but they do not. Mr.. Chamberlain,
however. who is above all things practical poll
tican, insists that the next general election will
be fought on issues totally different from
| Home Rule The Gladstonians are, in his
Judgment, abandoning that sinking ship They
are hard at work building another, and that is
why they have begun issuing programmes with
| Home Rule left out. Their sixteen promised re-
| forms either meant TO be carried or are not
| so meant. II they are not, IL is a fraud on the
voters whose support is obtained by such promises
| IL they are, what becomes of Mr.. Gladstones too
famous and oft-repeated declaration that Ireland
blocks the way? The programme which Mr.
Chamberlain offers is much more modest and less
multifarious than the Gladstone plan. 1t includes
| but three items-local government, better faclll-
ties for acquiring land in small quantities, and
State assistance to thrift. The last two have q
| Socialist squint like some Of Mr. Chamberlalns
earlier and less modest proposals; but local govern
ment for Ireland is known TO be Ministerial plan
| The Conservative view is that, with the Land
! Purchase bill an accomplished fact with great
| areas of Irish land owned by the present tenants
and with large measure OF local government the
| Irish agitation will not have much TO go upon,
unless it becomes openly revolutionary.
Sir William Harcourt's speech at Islington last
| night was a fighting speech. Seldom has he been
| known TO make any any other He attacks MI
| Goschen attacks Mr. Chamberlain, attacks Lord
Harrington, attacks the Iiberalunionists gen
erally 1t is all attack. He denies that Home
Rule is dead, and in the next sentence declares
that the ghost of the corpse haunts the conscience
of the murderers This is to be as Irish as the
| Irish themselves. He asks. What is the future
of Home Rule but fOrgets to answer his own
! question Forgetfulness is sometimes wise. Inc
speech was good one for its purpose; but neither
from this orator, from any other OF Nlr Ulad-
stones leutenants, any more than from MT "Iau-
stone himself, comes any disclosure Of the real
| policy of the party.
The literature cf the baccarat case is becoming
daily less copious and people are tired OF taking

doubt that it has been well received by the pun

Wentworth is one of the biggest. and perhaps the
least beautiful house. in England, some seven

Yorkshire think of the Prince. The monarchy is
still in pretty good repair.
The reaction in favor Of the Wilson's naturally
less marked, is still strong. Their neighbors IN
Yorkshire seem never to have shared in the
nreiudice against them. Lady Sykes, the wife
of Sir Tatton Sykes, of the greatest gentle
men in those parts, writes, with the sanction oil
