HOW A eLADsToN'AN ARGUES.
The News Holds the Tories All and En-
tireIy to Blame.

The News Holds the Tories All and En-
tireIy to Blame.
The Daily News (Giadstonian) gives this
view of the trouble: when the public
learn how the 'isturbance arose there will
be a universal feeling of indignation and
regret that the most illustrious statesman
of the age was exposed to insults as those
flung by Mr.. Chamberlain To compare
M Gladstone with Herod at the awful
close of his career met the warmest an
proval of the opposition. To refer to Mr..
Chamberlain as Judas" vas an Outrage
to be resented with violence. 1t is note
worthy that whereas Mr.. O'Connor apollo
gized, there was no hint of apology or =
trd dction from Mr.. Chamberlain and his
abettor- Mr.. Chamberlain knew and
probably intended all that was meant by
comparison of the prime minister with
Herod. The people of the country will re-
sent the insult in manner which may
cause Mr.. Chamberlain and his friends re-
gret for the rest of their political lives"
Two Unionist Papers Differ.
The Daily Chronicle, Unionist. saws that
Chamberlain must bear the responsibility
for the scene, while Mr.. GIadstone's ep-
tibet devils advocated for Mr.. Cham
berlain was playful and perfectly good
natured, " says The Chronicle, the other
was uncourteous and unwise and issued
from a bosom in which Mr. Gladstone's
shaft was still ranking"
The Daily Telegraph, Unionisl, finds
in Mr.. Gladstone the cause Of the trouble.
The members OF the opposition it says,
''were justly exasperated by the brutal
despotism under which they had sulfere d
for month and We're provoked beyond
endurance by the usual insolent outcries
below the gangways."
Tory Explanation.
The st. James Gazette and several other
Tory papers contend that Chamberlain 8
reference to Herod was aimed at Glad
stones fatterers more than at the prime
minister himself. Mr.. Gladstone has
turned the house of commons into a bur
lesque of parliament" says the Gazette.
"How then can he expect the members to
act with dignity and self-contrul?'
New Qualifications for Members.
The Globe, Conservative, says 1T is
not case for discrimination between
parties and factions. Every incident was
disgraceful and humiliating. Only one
lower depth is attainable, namely, the in
PRODUCTION of bowie knives and revolvers.
If the warning be forgotten men with
characters to lose will not go where there
is risk of losing them and future members
of parliament will have to be found among
the ready of fist and insolent of tongue"
