FOL VITALITY. merchants from Belfast was one of the most brilliant and powurful that has ever proceeded from his gigantic intellect. It was, in our opinion, a most unreasonable thing for thee gentlemen to ask the nged Premier to grant them an interview under such circumstances, and he would have been fully justified in declining to do so, as Lord Salisbury woutel undoubtedly have refuse to receive a deputation of Home Rulers during his scond Premiership. But having decided to hear their case, Mr. Gladstone made up his mind to answer that case, and every Liberal and Horne Ruler must have been delighted with the way in which he turned the tables Upon these representatives of a mischievous but fast-expiring ascendancy. One or two references will suffice to indicate the character of the speech. The deputation asserted that under Home Rule there would be a chronic want of money in Ireland. Mr. Gladstone reminded them that the civil expenditure of Ireland is now about 208 per head of the population, whilst in Great Britain it is only a little more than lOs per head. There was no reason why, he argued, under Home Rule the Irish Government should not reduce this cost to about the same amount per head as in Great Britain. They would thus save about two and a-half millions a year, and instead of there being a chronic want of money there would be a chronic plethora of money in Ireland ! This was one " poser " for the great men of Belfast. The deputation asserted that there were two parties in Ireland which are filled with historical jealousy of each other. Mr. Gladstone denied this statement, and challenged the deputation to give him proof that the Roman Catholic majority oh the People of Ireland regard the Protestant minority with historical jealousy. This, we fancy, was another " poser " for them, and WC shall be curious to know whether these gentlemen will make any serious attempt to supply the proof which the Premier demands. The simple fact is that Mr. Gladstone utterly refuted the leading assertions in the address of the deputation, and mace Rome Rule appear more just and necessary tan ever.  This association h^e done THE DORSET good service to the county HEALTH by bringing Miss Kenealy ASSOCIATION, down to lecture on her  valuable experiences as a volunteer nurse during the cholera epidemic at Hamburg last year. Although, as Dr. Childs observed on the occasion of the lecture on Tuesday evening, 1:!e chance of England being visited with the cholera is remote, yet to be forewarned is to be forearmed, and such a lecture ;oust be very helpful in showing how this dire p:ague, if once introduced into this country, could best be dealt with. On several important points Miss Kenealy's experience is calculated to rob the epidemic of its terrors to some extent., especially in reference to the number of serious cases which may be cured, and the liability of medical men and nurses attending the patients to contract the disease. Dr. Childs offered some thoroughly practical remarks on the best means of providing nursing for cholera patients, and his suggestion that a registry of professional nurses should be kept will, we trust, be adopted without delay.
