London. Sept 16.-Ihe result of Mr.. Glad
.,o,As attempt TO Iegislate on Home Rule was so
far a foregonc conclusion that the Lords re-
ection was quietly accepted both here and in Ire
. land Some of the Ulster cities showed their
rratifcatIon by display of burning tar barrels
and. under provocation, by wrecking few Ma
,;ors1.t houses Tho Government newspapers
failed utterly in their attempt to decry the House
n, Lords The much talked of crusade against
the Upper Chamber proved utter failure, as the
peers' rejection of this measure increased thelr
trcncth in the public eye rather than lea 10 'her
hscredit Several peers were careful to show
that in rejecting Home Rule they were acting not
in the interests of their own order, nut purely
from n desire to safeguard the constitutional
rioht Of the electors to be consulted before a
measure OF such Importance was placed on the
statute hook.
These tactics have borne fruit, and the col
lapsc of the projected outcry AGAINST the House
Of Lords is 50 complete that it became necessary
for the National Liberal Federation TO hurry out

gin a fresh campaign against the Upper Chamber

secretary Names like these are not likely TO he
reearded as of the slightest weight. outside the
wirepuers whom they control The charges In
their circular declare that the thwartcd and in
suited Nation is burning with just impatience
10 chastise the Lords for having houted the popu-
lar will" For seven years, they assert, the House
Rule question has been subjected to a discussion
more full and thorough than any ever before
given to a political proposal. And so on. in the
most bombastic tones. This declaration shows
the confused state of the Radical mind.
Home Rule as an abstract question has un-
doubtedy been much discussed; but Mr.. Glad
stone had clear mandate T. pass the measure
which the Lords rejected II is the grievance OF
the J'nionst party that Mr.. Gladstone designedly
concealed the details of his bill until he intro
duced il into the House of Commons, and having
introduced it, that he passed it through such phases
of change that in many essentials it was new
measure. The Lords have not rejected any
legislative demands approved by the electorate,
and the threat of the taiors of Tooley-st. to
end or mend the Upper House has so far recoiled
upon themselves as to create more ridicule than
CONSERVATION.
II is an obvious comment oil all these attack,
upon the opponents of the bill to ask. if Mr.
rate, as he and his henchman so often declare,
why does he not appeal TO the country on the
solitary issue of this measure? AT any rate. 1t
will he utterly futile tc attempt churnIng the
country into state of agitation against the
Upper House.
Since the Home Rule measure was disposed Of,
the House of Commons has mainly devoted itseli
TO questions relating TO Supply. The Irish votes

established "A record by disposins OF these votes
