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 tv erage Engli donan ia not a in iu to call his think* ins fscultiea into use till he must. He will make np ii*- mind about Mr. Gladstone's pro 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 i to bring In wi ??? . ingar-eouted pill, i 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 i- tin- dilemma tr.-m wbicb no way ii' 'a..i eera possible. Tbs real question is, How large ?*. r,l be tin- Liberal anti-Home Rule minority I Loni Hsrtingtou'a speech of Friday, which \:.\ bj tar flu- nu.-' imuoriant ol rece'itdays, i answer this question, snd fails .-> throw auj deni ligtat on bis own intentions or le who supposed Loid Hartington would r-ally accept Lard Randolph Churohill'a polit.- in? vitation to walk into thr* Tory pallor. In no case could behave chosen Friday to execute i ti h a inaneenvre, tor be spokes* tbe guest of a Liberal i b Tbe line he to ii; waa th' obvious line. Ii>' bas not ceased to be a Liberal. He bas not ceased toadmire and respect Mr. Gladstone. Ile does not complain <>i Mi. Gladstone because be bas nu* dertakea to eonsidei the Irish demand.
