DUsLIN, Sept 29.-Ats meeting OF the Ms

We address yon on the national cause at "A
suspicious time, and from an suspieious posi-.

by the power OF the people 10 another stage that

he given the Just demands of Ireland without
loss of time. We are convinced OF the sincerity
OF the Liberal leaders. no, only because Of the
course pursued by the Liberals since Gladstone
adopted home rule, but also because their inter-
ests demand such a permanent settlement a.
ireland can cordially accept. Legislative in
dustry applied to other proposals would b.
simply labor lost We do not forget the declara-
ton OF Baifour that no matter what the bill
may be the house OF lords will reject it We
also bear in mind Gladstones warning that II
the house of lords rejected the measure deliber-
atcly adopted by the country they would do 50
at the peril OF their Chamber. To suppose that
the house OF lords, existing by popular suffer-
anee. would venture 10 offer obstinate resistance
to the will OF the people would be TO imagine
something contrary TO invariaote experience in
the history of parliament, beside being
opposed to common sense. II, ia contempt

we need the help of the people to maintain the
movement with vigor. The strain Is increasing
and will increase as the final stage OF the strug-

The Duke OF Argyle replies in the Tins to
Gladstones NORTH american Rerser article,
saying:
That article. instead of refuting. furnishes
valuable col affirmation of my argument That
argument was not addressed to American poll
tcians, but 10 friends OF quite different class
know the influence guiding American politics,
and therefore attach no Importance to the opin-
ion of the American ballot box. We are not go

The writer then proceeds to argue that a.
though he had at the time of the American civil
war full sympathy with the North on the quss-
ton of slavery, the question at frst did mot
turn on slavery, but on the right Of secession,
upon which he had doubts until Motley CON-
WINGED him that no part of the Union had the
slightest right to secede without common CON-
