A general election took place in
November, just five months after Mr..
Gladstone's defeat, and the Liberals
We're successful. Their strength, nu-
merically, was about equal to that of
the Tories and Parnellites combined,
When Mr.. Gladstone returned to office
he announcd his readiness to intro
dhCe a home rule measure for Ireland,
and this created dissension in the Lib
eral ranks and practically broke up
the party. Lord Harrington and others
declined to accept offices, and Mr..
Chamberlain and Mr.. Trevelyan only
accepted on grounds which subsequent
ly proved untenable. In a powerful
and lengthy speech, Mr.. Gladstone in
troduced his measure of home rule on
April S. The day will be long remem-
bered by those who were in the house
and the tens OF thousands who read
of the scenes and stirring incidents
which occurred before, during and after
the speech. The following day, at the
second reading, the bill was rejected
by a majority of thirty.
Mr.. Gladstone then appeaIed to the
I
result, and the Conservatives and
Unionist Liberals won by a large ma
jority. Mr.. Gladstone resigned with
out meeting parliament and Lord Sal
isbury became prime minister for the
second time on August 31SS6. Early
in 1883 Mr.. Gladstone visited Italy and
was very warmly received there, He
paid a second visit to that country in
December and returned to Hawarden
in February, 1889. MI and Mrs. Glad
stone celebrated their golden wedding
on July 25 following and on the occa-
sion of his cightieth birthday, Decem-
ber, 1889, the venerable statesman re-
ceived congratulations from all over
the world Three months later. Mr..
Gladstone delivered a beautiful ora
tion, his subject being The Parnell
Commission, and it was said by many
to be one of his finest and most elo-
quent efforts.

speech on the Armenian question, at
Chester, i'm August His long connec-
ton with the House of Commons ter
minated that year, as he did not seek
recollection at the general election
which took place at that time.
Since that period Mr.. Gladstone rare
ly took any part in public affairs, but
made some exceptions, when he inter-
ested himself in favor of the Armeni-
ans. While at Cannes, in March, 1897,
he wrote and published letter to the
Duke Of Westminster, pleading the
cause of Crete and Greece as against
Turkey. A stained-glass window was
unveiled in Hawarden church in rec
ognition OF Mr.. Gladstone's efforts in
behalf Of the oppressed Armenians, and
Mrs. Gladstone was presented with a
portrait of his holiness Mighriditch L.,
supreme patriarch OF the Armenians.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone left London
for Cannes on November %, 1897, and
arrived at the latter place three days
later. They remained there for nearly
eleven weeks and the homeward trip
was begun on the 10th of last Feb
ruary, and they reached London on
the 10Th. He had since been slowly
dying.
Although a national funeral will be
accepted by the family, there Is little
doubt that the remains Of Mr. Glad
stone will be laid to rest in the peace
full graveyard at Hawarden, adjoining
the church where he was married more
than half a century ago. At Hawar-
den the happiest portion of his life
has been passed. and 1t is truly a re-
treat sweet enough for any laborer.

In the autumn of 1890 Mr.. Gladstone
demanded that Mr.. Parnell retire from
the leadership of the Irish party, and
based his demand on the grounds that
as Mr.. Parnell had been found guilty
OF adultery with the wife of Captain
O'Shea, Ireland's interests would he
best served by his retirement. The
outcome of this was a serious split in
the ranks of the Irish Nationalist mem
hers, the majority of whom sided with
the views of Mr. Gladstone.

In April, 1893, Mr.. Gladstone moved
the second reading OF another Home
Rule bill for Ireland in the House of
Commons, but the bill was thrown out
by the lords. During his stay at Biar-
ritz, in February, 1894, a London Jour-
nal announced Mr.. Gadstones retire
ment, but the report was cOntradicted
in very guarded terms. After his re-
turn to England the rumor was re-
newed, and in the midst of the uncer-
tainty Mr.. Gladstone delivered his last
speech as prime minister i'm the House
of Commons, on the first Of March
the occasion being the lords amend
ments to the Parish Councils bill. The
next day his resignation was made
public, and the discovery that the pre-
mier was suffering from cataract in
both eyes was given as the chief cause
for such a decisive step. on March 8
Mr. Gladstone, in an audience with the
queen, gave up the seals of office A
successful operation was performed,
two months later, by which the catar-
act was removed, and Mr. Gladstone
recovered wonderfully during the en-
suing summer After a visit to Can
mes, in the early part of 1885, the octo-
genarian statesman made a stirring

But Mr. Gladstone's difficulties were
only just beginning. The revolt of the

hard-won victories, it's failure to reach

as far as home politics are concerned,
with the Franchise bill-a bill for eX-

the Commons, it was thrown out by
the Lords, who, under the guidance
of Lord Salisbury, declined to pass it

of conferences between the Liberal and
