Mr Gladstone has carried Home Rule through
the House of Commons This great triumph is.
however, sravely discounted when it is remcm-
bered that his SUCCESS has been achieved by the
lrlsh vote alone, and, that bu. for the applica-
ZION OF the gag powerful minority, backed by
majority of the voters of Great Britain. would
nave worried the measure to pieces. Moreover
1T is perfectly well known that the bill is hate
fu, even to some who voted for it. In truth,
they would not have given il their help had It's
fate not been foredoomed by the Lords and had
not Mr.. Gladstone bareaned in return to sup
port their faddist schemes of legislation. Three
aspects of the measure stand cut at this stage
Of its progress glaring failures. The Nom
conformstS, especially the Wcsleyans and Pres
byterians, greatly disappointed AT the oppor-
tunties which the bill gives for the agsrandze-
ment OF the Roman Catholic Church. They have
laboreI TO destroy Protestant ascendancy till not
q shred is left, hat the bill leaves a way open
for the more arbitrary ascendancy of the Roman
Church Earnest Radicals and workingmen also
have their grievances They are indignant that
the ninth clause fastened the Irish millstonc
more tightly round the neck OF the Commons
than ever. and that the bill will increase British
taxation for Irelands benefit They had been
led to expect that the granting of Home Rule
to Ireland would relieve Westminster of the Irish
round unchecked in the turning out of branl-new
measures according to the spirit of this go-ahead
age Then there is another disappointment as
to the crowning promise of inality. Mr. Nc
Carthy and Mr.. Dillon may profess gratitude and
accept the bill with JOY but the English electors
regard them as only Opportunlsts The Irish
demand never originated with them. but with
the Parnellites. and what saws MIR. John Rel
mond, as chief of the Parnellitc party? Ills
.peeoh on Wednesday fairly astounded the Min
isteralists Tor he frankly declared that the bill
was only an instalment and the word provisional
was stamped across every page. 1t Is uniortu-
nate for the Government that this damaging shot
should have been fired in the final stage OF the
bill as passed through the Commons.
The measure has already been read In the
Lords; first, in the small hours this morning. On
Tuesday the second reading will commence on
motion of Lord Spencer. The Marquis OF
Harrington will move its rejection, and Lord
Salisbury intends to close the discussion on
Friday.
