Mr.. Gladstone Holds His Own.

The events OF the last week In England
have demonstrated that Mr.. GLADSTONE
has lost no ground in the House OF Com
mons or with the people at large. yet they
are scarcely so reassuring as TO justify an
appeal to the constituencies before an effort
is made to abolish plural voting and to i'm
prove the registration laws.
The strength of the Government has, Of
late, been subjected to three sharp tests In
the House of Commons and to one test at
the ballot box. The first Of these in point
OF time was the acceptance by Mr.. GLAD
STONE bf a radical amendment to the Parish
Councils bill. an amendment directly coun-
te. TO the declaration previously made by
Mr.. FOWLER. who has the bill in charge.
This amendment gave the parish councils.

fashioned Liberals. including especially
those country gentlemen who still adhere
TO Mr.. GLADSTONE. would refuse To sanction

question. but discipline prevailed. and the
amendment vas carried by about the usual
majority. Then came what was practically

Ministerial programme with regard to
