LONDON, Sept. 27.-The knowledge
that there is no possible escape from
the Irish home rule seems to have
robbed our Tory politicians Of every
bit OF common sense. Their existence
is like that of an opium smoker, who,
IN has dreams, sees all his fondest
hopes realized only to wake up from
the effects Of the narcotic to increased
misery. Mr., Balfour g latest speech
plainly showed how even he, the most
brilliant mind of the conservative
party, saw nothing better to buoy him
up than the hope that the present gov
ernment would not be reckless enough
to continue in their "grossly immoral
policy and let home rule become law
before dlssolving parliament. So vivid
was his dream, that no confidently as
serted that we were to have another
general election next spring. His
awakening was rude and sudden and he
was told in no uncertain terms that not
only would home rule become law be-
fore the next general election, but
what was worse still, that also the plu
raj voting bill would receive the kings
signature before the country would be
asked to express its approval or dis
approval of the liberal government

Once the service is over, the sword

of the ceremony. Ever since London
