iiuiiu.l.v. Mr. Gladstone, says Ms candid?very
Madid?friend, "has demanded a month to fain il

J''iiiui: the inti rval nothing decisive c in oe ur.
buts great many things bccui which sre, to say
tbe least, iaterestini. I'h< state of public opinion
remains, ' think, pretty much whir it wss. Thc

i il when Mr. Gladstone's proposal is before him
n: .1 not till then, Lord Hartington told the
Eighty Clab on Friday Hum, in bis belief, no eon
siderable section of tbe people of this country had
jret advanced to thc opinion that t hf com ession ol
an Irish Parliament in Dublin, whether indepen?
dent or depend nt, is one which ran safely br
.al. I have heard a similar, though not quite
the same, opinion expn led by a leading Liberal
who belongs t" that wing of the Liberal party
which la supposed to be most remote from
Lord Hartington. According to thi** Radical
Liberal or advanced-Liberal chief, there i>
no evidence that t he count ry has made np
ii- n nd.-.v..- ortho other. A state of |>erfcc1
tranquillity prevails, lhere la no panic shout
Home Rule there i- scarce I,. among people in gen
? ral. any alarm, Tbe possibility of a breakup of
li.i Empire bas nol presented itself to (ho ever
eluggish imagination "1 the English pe iple. There
wai an outbreak of hostility to the proposal of
*? paratioa which came, oi waa supposed to come,
from Hawarden las! December. It was strong
enough and t'-'iieral enough to induce Mr. Glad stone
to drop hi-* scheme l"i the moment,
oi t" po [pone tia: authentic announce?
ment of it. Parliament met in January,
li w; a at once apparent thal Mi. Gladstone had
not abandoned his purpose. He did not proclaim
it ; be ls, aa be lui- himself a lid, too old a Parlia?
mentary hand !"i that. What be did waa to make
B speech which committed him to nothing, bul
~-t hi. ii iv ii i>-1 h" less evoked a shower ol sympathetic
cheers from tbe Parnel lites, ! member "i the Ilona,'
vtlio ia un enthusiastic angler described tin sci c
in a sentence. Mr. Gladstoi e, be said, just dangled
Home Rule before them for a minute, as if il had
been a blue doctor, and then withdrewit. There
va no effort to make them take the Hy. They
wer< allowed a glimpse ol it, nol lung enough to
frighten tbem or to attract tbem; Just long enough
to Iel iii. ni leno** it was thi re.
(im ion iu thc House ol Commons and opinion in
tia country set and react on each other. At thc
opening of a new question, however, the House of
i i mamu h ia ? pnblic opinion ol iti own, and one
tbS'i.mon ganged than that of the entire
I . la ibe presout nonse, an 1 on the
?im -Tua of Home Rule, the general sense of the
II n bas uudergoue some changes. If th?
ti rn ment had had th courage of their op
they could probably bave carried at the beginning
, i the session th.' substance ol tho Irish proposal*
which later did not avail to save th.-rn fro
wreck. The) )?* mid bave been |oiucd bj m 'derate
Liberab snfllcient in number to carry a reso
foi aup'.irossing tbe National League, t"i re
ttl . gorder, id, join, tl j with th"se,for establish
iti.' ? me form or reform of local government in
I ? .1 aol Involving ll"-::" Rule. That day is
past. Mr. Gladstone baa regained all and more thau
u l 1.1- old influence, and is perhaps a iu"rr* potent
mality-in this new Hons.' than ever he was in
;.:.., House chosen by a narrower electorate. The
nea un uiii.'ia have fallen under the spell ol thal
enchantment of s|.chand manner wbicb fen ti
?v. bom it i- nol familiar lone resist.
There are plenty of Parliamentary propbi ia now
to be met with who tell yon that Mr. Gladstone
can carry throng- the present House ol Commons
dng he sees lit to prooosc; Home Rule
included. There are others who maintain that tho
I iii- "M Parli un ul i v hand

lon ami pleasant to the palate. Thc aug u will
down witb Liberals in general; thc
Paruellites will perceive that all the bitternewi "i
Home Rule is safely wrapped up in it. I, - ? ??
takt-s for granted a degr.f simple mindednenH
which seems tuosl unlikely to prevail. Mr. Glad
mus! propose one oi two things. His Irish
panacea must be a substantive metuuro. It will iu
elude an Irish Pal iament, or it will not. Ii it
? ?' -. there will bo a Liberal minority who cann .t
be coaxed Into accepting it. If it doe;
i ? . Mi. Parnell will reject it. There
