Widnes Examiner. — 1887-11-19 (Widnes, Cheshire, England)

THE EXAMINER, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1887.  tion does, and just, too, as we are taxed fowvaccinnation. In the sense that the par-PA-at is not direct, there is free vaccination ; and there will ere long be Free Education. Dot this admirable reform will not be accomplished by Fair Traders. Free Education is good thing, but it would be tob dearly bought, if obtained by a tax on food; we cannot pay that price for the whistle.  THE Visit Of Mr. HERBERT GLADSTONE to Lyllllll, and of Mr. JOSEPH HOWES to Warrington, has put , new life into the Liberalism of the district. Great enthusiasm has been displayed at each meeting in favour of Home Rule for Ireland. The more the principle of Home Rule is discussed, the more it is found to command the sympathy and support of the masses. The people are always ready to be led; the difficulty is to find leaders who are ready to "move on." Mr. GLADSTONE has never been lacking in political activity since he became leader of the Liberal party; but he has been hampered in his. movements by slow-footed creatures of the Gosoitcs and HARTINGTON type. He is now getting rid of 'these clogs, and is ready to go forward at a pace whicir surprises and delights all true Liberals. Mr. HERBERT GLADSTONE is in this respect a. chip of the old block. He is young, and strong, and aggressive as a man should be who would storm. strongholds and rout the enemy. A few of the "curled darlings" of the Tory party attended the meeting, at Lymm, on Monday, with a view to disturbing the proceedings generally, and Mr. HERBERT GLADSTONE particularly. But they met their match, and more than their match, for he promised them that if they would come upon tho platform he would argue the question with them until they had not half a leg to stand on. It is hardly necessary to say that they did not accept the invitation; they might have a faculty for noisy objection; but, anything in the shape of argument was beyond them. Mr. H. GLADSTONE made one strong point against Mr. CHAMBERLAIN'S attitude in backing up a Coercionist Government which Liberal Unionists—if there are any left—would do well to. take seriously into consideration. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, he said, in April,. 1886, affirmed that there was no caselor coercion when, in the previous three months, there had been 256 outrages and three murders.; but, after that, he voted in favour of the Tory Cbercion Bill, when the returns showed 166 outrages and no murders. There is no reconciling such inconsistency; it "calls virtue hypocrite, and truth a liar." At the same time it cuts the ground from under the Tories when they try to make. a stand in support of the Government. The fact is, all things considered, Irishmen are behaving with great forbearance under the frightful provocation to which they are being subjected. Mr. H. Gransrosz, at Lymm, and Mr. How ES at Warrington, quoted from judges' charges to show that Ireland was comparatively free from crime. Mr. Wrislios o?Brunic, M.P., advised his fellowcountrymen to shun outrage as they would shun, poison; and the Tories repay him for giving this good advice by putting him in gaol. They have an idea that they can crush Nationalism out of the hearts of' thelrish. But they cannot; the only thing they are capable of is turning the hearts of Irishmen against them, and sowing the seeds of misery wherever they go. But their days of mischief are numbered; there is a gathering of the forces which will sweep them aside; there are signs of accumulation on every hand; and when the next election comes, if Liberals do their duty manfully, Toryism will be lying on its back, and ;Liberal Unionism will be nowhere.  FRANCE is undergoing another crisis; but a crisis every six months, or so, is a matter of course with France. The peculiar feature, however, of the present crisis is that it is Presidential as well as Ministerial. M. Rouvvex, the head of the latest Cabinet, was defeated on Saturday by a motion sprung upon him by M. CLEmENcr.Au, the leader of the Radical section in the Chamber. It is said that M. CLISMENCEAII was astonished at his own success, and there can be little doubt that he would not have secured so many votes for his motion if it had not been thought that a blow struck at M. ROVVIER would reach the President of the Republic. There is a strong feeling in France against M. WILSON, the son-in-law of M.
