New-York tribune., 1892-03-27

| Heaven The few laborng men now there are
supported by subscription, by trade union funds
| Mr. Ralfour opposed the resolution on the ground
that the area OF the English constituencies choice
| is already far larger than in America which is
true since residence within ;hc clccting district
is not here required. lie limited also that the
laboring classes have already more political power
than all other classes put together. That. too. is
true. Democracy is king, and a very raw
democracy il is in this country.
The House rejected the resolution by siXty-five
majority, but il is to lie noted that the Glad
I sionians, as body supported it, and it is with
them an article of party faith. They believe that
the artisan vote is theirs the majority Of 1t. and
there few things which either Mr.. Gladstone
or his followers will refuse 90 men who have
votes enough to be formidable
1t appears that the fate of Home Rule is now

makes him say that he shall always cndeavor
to leave the Irish question with his umbrella IN
the hall Bit | apprehcnd that the authentic
text omits the always. There is a time for every
thing. But Lord Rosebery thought that the time
for a speech on that thrcadbare subject was not

not one hour was advanced the coming oi that
joyful day when, in Mr.. Chauncey Depcw's famc-
colored words enslaved Ireland will he made Tree
Lord Rosebery only gave expression TO 'he
general wearincss of his party. There are III
fact only two theories of Home Rule-one, 1ha'
the public are so sick of it that to urge IL Is an
offence the other that the public are 70 coh-
WINGED of its Justice and necessity that TO argue
it there is no need. do not pretend 10 say WHICH
theory is the true one. i only remark that the
practical effect of both is TO leave Ireland out III

Roscbcry's alone excepted.
