II you search Mr. Gladstone's speech for light
on his dark scheme of Home Rule, you may find
one feeble glimmcr. lie speaks Of "a Parliament
in Dublin subject to the supremacy Of the I'm
pcrial Parliament" That might seem to array
him against the present Irish demand that the
Dublin Parliament shall bc independents but it
does not Il is not plain assertion of Mr.. Glad
stones own view purpose, but an indirect
allusion. II is moreover contradcted though
also by the same process Of allusion, by later
sentence in which the Dublin Parliament is re-
| fcrred 10 rs Independent. Probably no safe in
/ ference con be drawn from either statement. Bu
it is not from such slight references these ald
| from these only, that the student has TO seek for
| light on the main question, what sort of Home
Rule Mr.. Gladstone will propose and what will he
the basis and vital principle Of his new Home
| Rule bill. Supposng that dissolution occurs OF
! tic end Of June the beginning Of July, the
! Irish Local Government bill will CT be
dropped and not much need be said about it.
! Tie bill is the hill rs when introduced anil
roars of organized dcrsion. Mr.. Chanhcrain's
elaborate defence of il, and Mr.. Gladstone's
| elaborate and very powerful criticism Of it, leave
matters where they were.
Mr.. Balfour closed the debate in n speech very
different in tone rom the too jaunty one with
which he began it early in the session lie does not
| admit, and this is answer &c most of what
was alleged on the ether SIDE. that this bill by
| itself is Tory substitute for Home Rule. II is
one incident in great policy which. taken TO-
gcthcr, is what the I'nionist party proposes in
place of srpara;ion-a policy of order f prosper
ity. of lard reform. Of wise relief, of firm GOV
crnmcnt, of &c 1lent even, far as Irish discon-

proof that Irishmen do not really think measure
of local government witt. safeguards against local
disorder an insult is that thirty Of them were
aieent when the vote was taken.
| Two important votes Other than Irish, were
taken this week il Parliament. Tie House re-
icctcd the motion for the discstablishment of the
Scottish Church by ffty-sig majority, and passed
by 2Q7 majority the second reading of Mr.. STAINS
fields Registration bill. The first vote only
postponcs the inevitable, though it docs not ap
pear that the nti-Chuich party saiIs much
ground in Scotland itself. The second was not
a party vote, AMI will not TO much Just yet
Some Of the provisions OF Mr. Stansfc1's bill are
just and necessary, but the proposal 10 allow
electors 10 vote three months residence and al
lowing residence in different districts TO count is
a proposal to facilitate fraud which Tammany or
Governor Flower would welcome.
Little has been heard this wecl, Of lord
| Salsburys Hastings speech Free Trade. The
most important declaration against IL comes from
| Mr Chambcrlain's Birmingham organ. That paper
| declares that 10 attack free trade IS to imperil
| the prosperity of EnglanI; that tie prosperity
of the whole Kingdor1 is greater question than
| the secession of part Of il: and that the
| Birmingham school would sooner submit 10 dis
| union than TO Protection This somewhat IN
temperate declaration stands alone. The election
does not seem likely 70 be fought economical
| issues mainly. Lord Salisbury's plea Tor fiscal
| retaliation seems likely, nevertheless 10 win him
votes There is said to be great body OF
manufacturers in the North who are Radical in
| politics. but who would for business wei

Salisburys speech the dawn OF a new prosperity

| The aarmists and some who not alal1ns's
are commenting on the new war measurc5 at
| Paris and Berlin. Tie French Minister Of War
| has submitted two bills TO the Cal met for
| strengthening and increasing the military forces
of France. Bills with similar object shortly
70 he laid before the Reichstag. People who
play with pancs cry out that this means war
There is no reason to suppose it means anything of
the kind, nor Is there anything ike n panic or
| anxiety in either country, anywhere in Europe
| Both Germany and France are bent, as they have
| long been, making their armies efficient as
possible. Each must keep abreast of the other
and il possibie little ahead Stronger battaons
on one side are met ny stronger battaons the
other. There is absolutely nothing in the rca-
tions between the two Towers TO suggest that
either meditstcs immediate Lord Salisbury's
! assurance the other day that everything
quiet on the Continent wac emphatic and still
holds good.
Some Of the German papers have been growing
over President CarnCts coming visit to Nancy
Tact is not the strong point Of these papers. They
| choose TO regard this visit aflront menace
to Germany. because Nancy is near the frontier
and there is TO be military review; and fanatic
speeches may be expected. The French press
plies with point and good sense, that nobody in
| France makes fuss when Germany celebrates her
,rumphs at Sedan, which is also near the from
| tier or when the German Emperor visits Alsace
| Lorraine The Germans seem 70 have taken of
| fence at some indiscrrrt outhurst Of the Nancy
students: but students students The world
President Carnot will go 20 Nancy regardless Of
| all this. His visit is visit Of peace The mill
tary review will be limited 10 the garrison Of
| Nancy The Prime Minister and other Ministers
will 20 with him: and Nancy, after all. is still
| a French town.
