London, April s.-The political campaign during
the Easter holidays carried tho war with rc-
newed energy into the provinces against Mr.
Gladstonc's Home Rule bill The one incident
however, which stands out above all others
amidst the fooI of speeches and demonstrations
Of the week, has been Mr. Balfour's visit 10
iceland The cause OF Unonism lost little
through Lord Salishurv's illness. Even the late
Prime Minister could Lot nave evoked more
enthusiasm and helped lister to demonstrate
her hostility 70 Home Ru'e moro powerfully than
Nj. Balfour has done during the last few days
The eX-Secretary of State for Ireland received

been given 10 Il publ, man. Even the widest
enthusiasm with which Mr. Gladstone used to
be received in Scotland never cquallcd the re-
cepion given to Mr. Bafour. II is an homage
In doubtful taste to drag the hcros carriag"
BY hand, for such an honor is without dignity
to those by whom il is given and it is. moreover,
conferred upon prizc-ii-htcrs we'll as statesmen
But the orderly parade, the march-past of 5000"
men in the presence of an additional crowd of
100000 spectators, is unique spectacle III tne
humdrum history of British domestic polltlcs
For over four hours did Mr.. Blfour 81 ana
watch phalanX after phtlanN of well-to-do' or'erN
citizens. who. after nj. are but fraction Of
that solid minority whose views and interests
Mr. Gladstone is determined to igrore lhonSh
Orange clubs and Orange leaders played great
mart in organizing the remarkable spectacle. II

element and nothing moro.

Home Rule before such an audience. ii" sought
rather TO show the value of the British connection
and the absurditv of Mr.. Ga iston"s inchoatr
scheme One portion Of his remarks has attractu
no little attention I refer to that part of MS
speech which the Radical press dcnounc" as IN
fanmatory lie said "You have demands as
well as the Natonalists. do rot come here 70
preach any doctrines Of passive obedience or non
resistance You have had to fight for your
liberties before pray God that you may never
have 10 fight for them again. The tyranny OF
majorities may be greater than the stup"htN OF
kings I will not say that what is jnstihabe

tain circumstances, he iusthable against tyran-
n,cal n,aiority~ The wild enthusiasm which
greeted each sentence of the ahov" extract
showed that Ulster is indeed in earnest

impose upon it.
