Liberals Stand.

LONDON, June 25.-Mr. Gladstone,s az.
ton address is as follows:
Great Britain will now decide whe.be, w..
countries shall henceforth constitute in real,,s
as well as in statute. the name of tn. 10y
Kingdom. Ireland was never SO loyal n wv
crown or united in heart as in the years io,a ,.s

until the concord was disturbed in l7es.e
wicked Vaccinations. For n generation a;,,'

six years commended will set Ireland f,s.

Irish life and will set par!:ame,,

Wales. The constant growth OF sound opiuon
testified to by the result Of mutItuls OF br.
elections has shown that the British people now
thoroughly comprehend how Irresistible are The
claims OF Ireland OH our honor and Justice, and
how settlement will open a direct road to tba

says, the majority, especially the ex-Liber-
ais, prevented the Liberals from bringing

feels that this must surely be the last gen.
suffrage o: his constituents and that he can
only expect to execute small special share
OF the work he has sketched out.
MR. GLADsTONE's HOME RULE SCHEME
which the Conservatives are accustomed to
insist is still in embryo, has actually com.
municated in detail to Lord Roseberry,
Mr.. Morley, Sir William Vernon Harcourt
and other Liberals. Some OF its most crit

general election places Mr.. Gladstone in
power the bill will be presented at the au-
tumn session OF parliament. Mr.. Gladstone
knows thai under any circumstances he
must face another election before he attains
the final triumph of his lie in the compile.
ton of the Irish legislation. If he passes
the bill in the house of commons next year
it is certain to be defeated by the house of
lords This would involve fresh appeal
othe country. Even if the peers were at
once submissive to the will OF the people
and allowed the measure to become law
the alteration OF the representation in the
imperial parliament consequent thereon
would require another general election,
while the initiation Of the new Irish ad-
ministration would draw heavily upon Mr..
Gladstone's energies. For these reasons he
is eager that there should lie no delay in
passing
THE HOME RULE BILL.
The leading feature OF the measure OF
1856 Will be retained with the following eX-
ception. Clause 4. restricting the power OF
the Irish legislature is enlarged by further
defining the Limitation OF the powers OF the
Legislature 10 inter ere with the endowment
vi religion, or to impose disability, or con-
Ter privilege on account OF religious belie.
Further guarantees relating to denonina-
toral education are provided. Next, the
constitution Of the legislative body will be
modified by raising the number of mem
bers of the first order in the upper house,
who, as in the first BILL shall hold office
for ten years.
The much disputed clause "a, removing
the Irish peers from the house of lords and
the Irish me,nbe from the house ofcom-
mons, disappears in the new bill, the rep
rIesentatlon of Ireland in the imperial par
lament remaining the same as at present
to meet the threatened active refusal or
passive resistance of the Obstetrics to the
Irish parliament by the non-payment OF
taxes.
Subsection 4, of clause 10, OF the bill Of
1886, is to be extended so as to
insure the employment of the police and
military forces 10 emo e the payment OF all
