LONDON, Sept 4.-Politics have
dropped quite out of sight this week as
subject of popular concern. There
has been much moro interest in Mr..
Gladstone's personal encounter with a
COW on his Hawarden estate Tuesday
than in his plans tor securing home
rule in Ireland. The unruly beast who
tackled the prime minister and placed
him hors-de.combat won almost as
great distinction as did the animal
whose rampant hoofs upset Mrs.
0'Leary's lamp and destroyed Chicago.
The head OF her majesty's government
rallied as promptly after the attack as
did Chicago. The fate OF the unscru-
pulous COW was the same in each case
ono perished in the flames OF her own
kindling and the other was shot for the
crime Of lese.majesty.
We have no meneutoes OF the Chicago
animal. Not so the Gladstone heifer.
A butcher bought tho hide for &2, and
Immediately closed with au offer OF Go
for the trophy. The marksman who
shot the beast has taken the head, horns
and hoofs to Chester for preservation.
He has refused an offer OF El0 made by
one of the grand old mans admirers.
1t may be added that Fhe teeth Of the
animal arc finding ready market at
half q crown each.
This mercenary turn to his adventure
makes Mr.. Gladstone fear that the
owners OF wild COWS may turn their AMI
mails into Hawarden Park in the hope
that they will win similar distinction
and consequent historical value.
The publication Of the Labouchere-
Gladstone correspondence in Truth has
added nothing to the public knowledge
OF the real cause OF Labouchre's exclu-
sion from office. and affords no ground
for altering the views set forth in the
Dispatch week ago. Mr.. Labouchere
produces no evidence to prove his reiter-
ated and emphatic assertion that the
queen interfered in the matter, and
Labouchere has gone off on long con-
tinental holiday, and the controversy,
rs iar as he is concerned, is apparently
closed.
Mr.. Morley has not yet settled down
to work in Ireland and people are be-
coming impatient. They want to know
whether the government intends to do
anything for the eviuted tenants, many
OF whom are upon the verge Of starva-
ton. The subject is an extremely diff
cult one, but it must be faced, and at
least one cabinet minister stands pub
licly pledged to deal with the interests
Of tho tenants.
Publicity has been indiscreetly given
to q plan which certain younger Tories
arc quietly arranging for worrying Mr..
Gladstone next season. They will in
sist that he shall load the house Of
commons actually, and not merely
nominally; that is to say, he must be
in his place at Westminster palace
from the opening to tho close OF parlia-
mentary business. Should no be absent
at any time these chivalrous young
bloods will move tho Adjournment OF
tho house "in order to raise q constitu.
tional question OF tho first order"
In the course OF this year Mr.. Glad
stone has encountered severe attack
OF influenza, has been half-blinded and
found his sight again, has emerged
smiling from beneath an Gnraged COW,
has undertaken long and tiring Jour
ueys and has done as much hard work
as half dozen average public men, and
to-day he Is active and as cheerful as
ever he was. 1t is evident, therefore,
that he is aud was a phenomonnlly
tough old gentleman, and it is moro
than probable that he could endure
long hours and hard work in Parlia-
nent, should need arise, as well as the
youngest Of his enemies. But he will
not permit Tories, young or old, to
arrange his work or his time for him.
He will please himself in regard to his
attendance at tho house OF commons,
leaving the conduct OF its business,
whom he is not present, in the capable
hands OF Sir William uarcourt.
II is learned to-day that Mr.. Baltour,
who is chivalrous enemy whom away
from ireland, has caused TO be made
known in the proper quarters his en-
tire disapproval OF tho mean policy OF
worry, which in consequence may iall
still-born.
Although Mr.. Gladstone romans at
Hawarden, he is not idle. The staff OF
tho local postotIlce has been increased,
and the Premier's private wire to Lon.
don is kept busily engaged from morn.
ing to night. Contrary to published
reports nothing has yet been arranged
in connection with Mr.. Gladstone's
European holiday trip, and 1t Is as
likely as not that he will remain in
England.
