The discussion upon the prospects Of Home
Rule next session. which means rext year, not
this autumn. conducted with much holiness by
Mr. Asauith is followed with caution in the
Gladstonisn papers Many of them think ST

bisbon Walsh The Unionists more out

and ale Lord Randolph Churchill discoursed
on il voluply at Yarmouth on wednesday. HIS
speech was devoted almost wholly TO Mr.. AS
quith's three speeches. or rather to two OF
them for Lord Randolph. though not himsel
invariably brief complained that MI Asquith
was voluminous, and he could read nut TWO
speeches out of three. lie welcomed Mr.. Red
monds declaration that if there was to be no
Home Rule next session there would he no Par
nellite votes at Mr. Gladstones disposal in the
House of Commons. Il am sure said Lord
Randolph "the UnOnist party would not dis-
dain Mr. Redmonds votes If h" tried TO force
the Government to go to the country, TINS
sentiment met with sharp rebun from Union

Redmond from voting against the Government
If he chose they would always disdain the
Parnellite rump under any circumstances.
Those he brave words but the Irish vote has
been useful to the Tories before now. and may
be again
II is still more essential to know what Is
thought Of Mr. Re imonds policy and Of the pro-
posed hanging up of Home Rule next year by
the anti-Parnellites and by Archbishop Walsh
most of all The Archbishop is silent. and I
know of no one who undertakes to speak in his
name But you may bear from various other
Nationalist authorities. They view. or affect to
view this question Of delay with Indifference
They would prefer, Of course. To see the Dill
again introduced and again forced through the
House Of Commons, though with the certainty
tina, he House of Lords would again reject it,
if meantime there had been no general election
But they are comparatively Indifferent, for
very simple reason. They know that whatever
may happen meantime. whenever "A dissolution
and general election take place they can impose
their own terms on Mr.. Gladstone. He cannot
dispense with the Irish vote. He must pay the
Irish price for IL. year or two IL no great
matter they think in a struggle which has
lasted nearly 700 years.
The flaw In this calculation is obvious. The
oh hen NctIr
hope Of success depends on the life of man Of
eightv-three. II may matt"r, also. tho "a
treme Irish wings get ont Of patience. If there
should be another outbreak Of outrage in Ire
land and Of dynamite in England.
It may matter, If Mr.. Redmond succeeds In
infaming Irish opinion. He is, 80 far as any
body not Irish can Judge, very much in earnest
He has spoken again In Cork, three times lie
responds point by point to Mr.. Asquith lie
again insists on the release of the dynamiters,
saying he does not care whether they are
guilty innocent, but If there Is to be peace
between England and Ireland the prisoners
Of war must be given up. He insists on a Dill
next session for the relief of evcted tenants.
and again denounces the policy OF keeping alive
Home Rule by any other means than legisIa-
tion or an attempt at legislation. He renewed
in Cork the threats he had uttered In Dublin,
giving formal notice to the Gadstonian Whils
that the nine Parnellite votes are not TO be had
on any other terms He discussed with great
freedom the chances Of Mr.. Gladstones living

admitted enemy Of the National sentiment oil
Ireland" The English people would then cease
to care about Home Rule. and the long struggle
which Parnell brought so near to victory wouid
have TO begin over again.
Such are the two Irish forecasts. and the TWO
Irish views of the situation created by the now
known and admitted intention Of the Glaastoh-
ians to devote next session chiefly to British
measures.
The meeting Of the Ulster Parliament seems AZ
first sight premature 1t is, however case oi
defence not of defiance. and Of preparing Tor
war in time of peace The so-caled parliament
is defence union. composed Of COO delegates
from 1000 Ulster loyasts. They meet to per-
feet their organization. and. perhaps, to rejoice
a little over the rejection Of Home Rule by the
House Of Lords. The flower Of the population OF
Ulster Is in their ranks, and they make no secret
Of their purpose to resist Home Rule. If need be.
70 the death They are well led. They have
ample funds They keep inside the law And
they keep before the people of England the fixed
resolve of the Protestants of Ireland not to ls-
ruled by Catholic Cets.
The chief news about the coal strike is per-
haps the approach of cold weather. This makes
both owners and miners hopeful that the differ
ence in the price Of labor which divides them
may be wrung from the consumer. For him
neither of the contending parties has much re-
gard. Prices have gone up pits are rcopening
here and there. negotiations have been re-
sumed. the owners have again suggested "A con-
ference, and the great Mr.. Pickard. who leads
the strikers. is to-day to decide whether he VIII
consent to confer. True. he and his newspaper
organs have publicly vowed there should be
no conference till the demand for reduction OF
wages had been withdrawn. But that they
said in their haste. and The Chronicle" which
for weeks has been denouncng the cOal-owners
as conspirators and murderers, now deprecates
