STONE.  Professor Tyndall, asked his opinion of the proposal for the retention of the whole of the Irish members in the Imperial Parliament, in addition to giving Ireland a Parliament of its own, writes —That any Bill intended to retain the whole of the Irish members at Westminster, while leaving them a free band in Dublin, constitutes an outrageous insult to the British people both north and south.of the Tweed,' is a proposition too selfevident to need endorsement. When we have shaken off that fit of temporary insanity which coroner's inquests usually associate with suicides the grotesque atrocity of the measure will be clearly seen. The duplicity and madness of Mr. Gladstone do not surprise me. These strains of his character have for years been evident enough to those who have studied it. What atonishes me is the fart that an affluent gift of rhetoric should enable Mr. Gladstone, in his madness, to draw so many of our people after him. A ' sport' In botany is defined to be sudden assumption by certain leaves or blossoms, of 'a new and differant character from the rest of the plant.' During Mr. Gladstone's lifetime and under his culture, we have been favoured with an unusual number of political sports. In them the true British type is not to be discerned. They are of of a different character from those which belong to honest English and Scottish roots. Had such rtibeen developed in sufficient number in the yysof Pitt, Jervis, and Nelson, and Wellington, the history of Brittain ae it now stands would never have been written. We should have been the scorn instead of the envy of the world. Pereonally, I would risk my life in defending that of Mr. Gladstone. Politically and judicially, I deem him worthy of a traitor's doom. Those who rashness I do the mischief he has already accomplished wilt be ready to subscribe to the jostles of such • sentence. Gladstonian candidates talk to their constituents of restoring Grattan's Parliament. They know that they will do nothing of the kind. Grattan's Parliament was a purely Protestant Parliament, which they do not dream of restoring. They mean to destroy a Union which secures to all religions absolutely equal rights, and in place of Mr. Grattan's Parliament, to set up a Parliament ruled by the priesthood of the Church of Rome. There is, however, in Ireland • body a Loyalists sufficiently oompaot and strong to resist this enslavement and resist they will, to the deeth4  SLOE'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS Reprinted from the "Birmingham Chronicle of Saturday, July 13, 1889.
