THE PRESS OPINIONS
On the. DisgraCefuI Row
in the Commons.
CHAMBERLAIN CONDEMNED.
Every Englishmen Must Feel the Dis
grace, Saws the Pail Mall Gazette.

LONDON, July 29-Much space on the
editorial pages of London dailies was de
voted yesterday 10 comments on the fight
In the house OF commons Thursday even
ing.
The Times says: Mr.. Gladstone must
feel some qualms when he looks upon the
working out OF his latest achievement
The suppression Of free debate by the
tyrannical vote Of the majority is worthier
Df the French revolutionary convention
than of the English house Of commons.
1t is certain TO dislntegrate and demoralize
parliament. II has inspired the victorious
faction, largely composed Of Irish separ-
atists. always contemptuously regardless
of the rules and traditions Of parlia-
mentary life, with an insolent passion for
trampling and silencing all opponents. II
has goaded the minority, deprived OF the
right TO discuss the measure involving
vast constitutional changes, into an out
burst of angry indignation.
The Daily News (Gladstonian) opposes
TO the opinions Of the Tory organ quoted
this view Of the trouble: When the pub
lie learn how the disturbance arose there
will be universal feeling of indignation
and regret that the most illustrious states
man of the age was exposed TO such in
suits as those flung by Mr.. Chamberlain.
To compare Mr.. Gladstone with the i'm
pious Herod at the awful close Of his ca
reer met with the warmest
Approval Of the Opposition.
To refer to Mr.. Chamberlain as Judas was
an outrage 70 be resented without vio-
lence. 1t is notewor rthy that whereas Mr..
O'Connor apolog zed, there was no hints
of apology or retraction from Mr.. Cham
berlain and his abettors. The people of
the country will resent the insult In
manner which may cause Mr.. Chamber
lain and his friends regret for the rest of
their political lives
The Daily Chronicle (Unionist) says
that Mr. Chamberlain must bear the re-
sponsibilty for the scene
The Daily Telegraph (Unionis) finds In
Mr.. Gladstone the cause OF the trouble.
The members of the opposition. IL says,
were justly exasperated by the brutal
despotism under which they had suffered
for month and were further provoked
beyond endurance by the insolent out
cries below the gangways
The West minister Gazette (Gladstonian)
says: The Irish members admittedly were
not responsible for the disturbance. Mr..
Fisher and his friends struck the first
blow. Since the
Essentially Disgraceful Element
was imported by members passing as
English gentlemen, it must become here
after hypocritical cant of the most odious
kind for Englshmen TO draw contrasts to
their own supposed exaltation Of what the
Irish parliament Will he like.
The Pail Mall Gazette Conservative
under the caption Mother of Free
Fights" says: Every Englishman must
feel the shame and disgrace. Nevertheless
1t cannot be said that the scene was ont
of keeping with the whole story of the
home rule bill. When parliament has
been violently ravished of its freedom it Is
idle to complain overmuch because its pet
ticoats are soiled. Mr.. Gladstone muzZled
the house and rabies set in.
The Globe Conservative says: 1t is not
q case for discrimination between parties
and factions. Every incident was dis
graceful and humiliating.
Only One Lower Depth
Is attainable, namely, the introduction of
bowie knives and revolvers II the warn
ing be forgotten, men with characters to
lose will not 90 where there is risk of los
ing them, and the future members of par
lament will have to be found among the
ready of fist and insolent Of tongue.
Other Tory sheets contend that Mr..
Chamberlain's reference to Herod was to
be applied rather to Mr.. Gladstone's fat
terers than to the prime minister himself.
"Mr. Gladstone has turned the house Of
commons into a burlesque Of parliament"
says the ST. James Gazette. "How, then,
