Ths sffcct must be .Hia-At-.J to dispose ot tho Irish question or to dis¬ pose of Mr. Gladstone. It U sn appeal hom and to tbs constituencies and eontsins s.eae nore, doo- trine. Mr. Gladstone himself evidently regsids the .ccasion ss aimilar to std not less solemn thsn those ot 18t>8. when be wss shoot to dieeaUblitb the Irish Church, snd of 1876. when he rescued Bulaaria. On both occasions he published similar appeals. Nothing thst erer esme from his nen .bows more animal ion. ingenuity, yoathfal energy. ana hopefulness than this Ust psmpbtet It p lexi nos bis whole future to Home Rule. W'hstever bappeus. never can Mr. Gladstone desert the cause, his advocacy of which he now declares was not the .^ultof sudden conviction, bat the lesultof the ¦iMsly and continuous growth ot his own mind. What tlie -fleet may be ou English public opinion remains to be seen. There is no sign that be is likely to reconquer the sffe. ton of those Liberals who renounced their allegiance to their leader rather thsn follow him into the Home Kule csinp. Their mouthpiece in the press describe, his ac¬ count of his personal relation to ibis question as tho chum of a right to conceal from his colleagues the Unft of his meditations on his policy, oven tv lieu it is opposed to tho tendency ot bis public acts and to the declared opinions of his party. " What security la there." asks the lesding Journal, ¦ thst behind Home Kolo Mr. Uladstone may not have iu reserve a policy of total separation botween Ireland and England f" It accuses him of a deliberate attempt to foster disruptiouist tendencies throughout Great Britain by prexsitig tho principle of what he calls Mtiooalitiss, He treats the United Kingdom as a .ort of confederacy, each member of which ought to have a veto on the decisions of all tho rest This, which his critics describe as an lnfcreuco from Mr. Gladstone's propositions, is merely a trav¬ esty of then- Mr. liladstone's alleged abandonment of the Land Purchase bill brings forth bitter inquiries as to what has become of tbat obligation of honor on which he asserted that the bill wss based and as to what Lord Spencer and Mr. Morley s Ul do, both steeped to the lips In pledges to stand between the Irish landlords and the Irish Parliament, But Mr. Gl_b'one, though he admits that the sentence of tla^Buutry against the bill is irresistible docs not admit thst he has abandoned the principle sf the measure. To this he s ill attempt to give effect by other means. Nevertheless, tho most will be made by the Tories of the fact that tbe bill Itself ls, as they say, - tossed overboard with cynical loco- laxity." The debate in the House of Commons on the ad¬ dress follows tbe usual course and proves discursive to an unexpected degree. It has the great merit of not being dull. Mr. Parnell's amendment has borne all the fruit he hoped for, perhaps more, for lt has . on-ol.dated the alliance between tbe Tones and the Liberal Unionists The division on this amendment supplied tho first practical test of the closeness of their cohesion. Every Important member of both sections of the Liberal Unionists voted with the Tories. Ths majority of 123 by whn li the amendment wss defeated waa, however, no larger than was anticipated after Mr. Glad¬ stone declined to support it In thia however, as In seme other matters. Mr. Gladstone's absenc. is interpreted as leaving the rank and file of the party to do sh they like. Mr. Gladstone's colleagues ab¬ stained from voting as a matter of decent respect to their chief. Ihe great body of Gladstonian Liberals followed the l_ruelli.es into the lobby. The debate, moreover, bas been embittered by re¬ peated eftorts to silence or to embarrass leading speakers on both sides. Lord Randolph Char, hill's vain struggle to enforce the roles of tbe House agaiust Mr. Gladstone provoked reprisals sll around. The House has seldom seen in the same space of time so much had temper and bad manners. Mr. Chamberlain's speech was from tho House of Commons point of view tho liveliest of the session. Tbe Radical leader io now for a variety of reasons the best hated mao in the House. The Parnellites accuse him of having turned against them. The Gladstonians complain of him as a desert.r from the Liberal ranks and resent what tbey call his personal attacks on Mr. Gladstone. Having taunted him with bis silence since the session began, they tutu bi i.ed to prevent his breaking it. E. R. Russell's motion to adjourn the House in order to discuss Sir Eedvers Boiler's appointment was followed by Ar¬ thur OTonnor's protest against Mr. Chamberlains speaking because he was not the first to resume the debate, the adjournment of which he had moved on Wodneaoav. These tactics proina fuule, otner obstructionists objected to his discussing matters not germane to Mr. Parnella amendment Here they succeeded, the Parnellites refusing to Mr. Chamberlain the indulgence which the Honse on Tuesday had granted to Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Chamberiaiu'B speech nevertheless waa a won¬ derful debating performauce, sparkling, bard-hit¬ ting, exasperating Gladstonians and Parneliitos alika sod winning tumultuous Tory cheers. Well U might, for Mr. Chamberlain rioted in remorseless sritician of Lia old friends, while offering almost iBlimited support to LU old opponents. He plodded himself to do nothins to turn ont tbis Government solongas th.ii sscee-sor. remsined committed to sseparatut policy. Moreover, h. appro.ai vt th. general -chem. of MiuisUriel policy with th. sing,. ttosption thst hs will b. no oarty to . messure for m-aing good Irish rents out of British taxes.

Mr. Sexton was brilliant as ho seldom falk to be and gave Mr. Chamberlain many a sharp thrust, bat the speech leaves it doubtful how far the Influence of the Irish leaders w ttl be exerted in favor of psytoent of rants He plausibly argues that payment in full of rants during tho oomlng winter would be evi¬ dence before the Royal Commission that rents ara not too high. . I will not,'' said Mr. Sexton, * ask the people of Ireland to pauperize themselves lu order te furnish arsruments for their own ruin." Tbe onlv other point on wbioh the Ministry have been pressed is tbs sppointment of Sir Redvers Buller, which proves intensely distasteful to tbe Irish party ; but the effect of the debate raised by the Liberal allies was to make it olear that he goes in a purely civil ca¬ pacity with the powers of a divisional magistrate and no others. The feeling in England during the laat throe days can only be described ss one of intense solicitude for the personal safety of Prince Alex- snder. The English, who believe the Russians are capable of anything, feared foul piny. The news of the safe arrival of the Prince at Lem borg pro¬ duced an explosion of joy. Knglish papors urge him to return st once to Sophia and to resume the Government regardless of the wishes of Prince Bismarck or anybody else. Nobody donbts thst Bulgana wants him bsck. The overthrow of the conspiracy which called itself s provisional Government baa lioen the triumph of democracy. The people of Bulgaria nsserU>d their will, but Prince Bistnarok's regard for Bulgaria, or her people, is slight and his desire to save the sus¬ ceptibilities of the Czar is groat Whether Prince Alexander can return or remalu depends on the result of the conference between Prince Pismarck sud M. do Giers. What people here hope is that Prince Bism-Tok will see that it cannot be for tho peace of Europe or for the security of any throne that sny Government should como to sn end by kidnapping or piracy. But Prince Alexander himself may not care to return unless he obtains assurances of support Attempts to adjust tbe Welsh tithe dispute fail simply be.ause tho issue os now raised ls part of s movement for the disesiablishment of tbe Church in Wales. The proposed organizalion of the We Ix Lt Parliamentary party has similar aims, but will in¬ clude Welsh interests in general, especially agri¬ cultural interests The Welsh tenants have shown themselves before now to bo imbuod with a pretty radical Idea about Und. England may have a Welsh question on hand before lt has settled the Irish question. Tho clergy and Tories as nan al are courting defeat Tho Vicar of Llanarmon stands on bis strict legal rights, dis¬ trains for tithos snd sells ont farmers who refuse to pay. The Tory home secretary au- nonnces in Parliament that he has no intention or power of interfering with the enforcement of those rights. The Colonial and Indian _ouri_ts have now got as far as Edinburgh in their survey of the British Isles, snd havo visited Earl Rosebery's place at Dalmeny Park. The Earl aud Couti toss of Roses bery were at homo from 3 to 0. Tho house and park wero thrown open and numerous local celeb¬ rities were collected to greet the colonials. Thero was the usual corporation banquet in the evening, a-i which Earl Hose bo ry reiterated hts well-known view, ui favur of imperial federation and an¬ nounced that he was going to India in furtherance of his ides that Bntish Ministers ought to know something about tho British Empire. Earl Rosebery*, views of federation are of a very practical kind. He desired, he said, to pay honor to the immortal principle of tho British Empire, but looked to the Colonial penny postage and to tbe Canadian Paciflo Railway as actual instru¬ ments of closer relations between Ens-laud and the Colonies. The French workmen's delegation are still here, and seem to be identifying themselves more closely than ever with the Socialists. Tho Social l).*in.*- cratic Federation gives them a farewell dinner on Mouday, wben tbey will sit down with Hyudman, Stepniak, Prince Krapotkiu and other Anarchists. The same Federation are fomenting further dis¬ turbances. They have called a meeting at Hyde Park to-morrow, when firebrands, like Burns, with s indry Frenchmeu to help, will protest against the recent condemnation of Williams and Mainwaring, firebrands Just now smouldering in prison. The Postmaster-General's report, just publish. 1, contains tbe usual miscellaneous mass of informa¬ tion, often misleading, enlivened with the usual anecdotes of postal eccentricities. The increase in postal business proper is slight; in telegraphs under the new sixpenny rate there is a large increase, but not large enough to pay its way. The post office perseveres in dislike to change, continues tbe policy of worrying the publio by vexatious regulations and presents no clear statement ot tbe telegraphic business as a whole. The linus, having looked into the figures for itself, concludes that the fact that the telegraph business is carried on at heavy yearly loss is concealed by judicious shifting of ehargSS, Thia amount-to nu accusation asai nat thn perma¬ nent officials of "cooking" the post office accounts 0.

LOKDON, Ant. 2a.Mr. Gladstone's pamphlet on tte Lrtah question ands with s poetcript, dated August 22. lt is ae follows .- B-aee these pana were written the principal Inten¬ tions ot the Mlniatera in reepect to Ireland nave beeu announo-sl. The stateemen who in January deemed coercive measures sn absolute neeesaltv. do not now propose them, although agrarian prime haa rather tn- SBttBSn snd Ireland has been perturbed (so they said) by tbe proposal of Home Rule. Thia ia s heavy blow to ooerasn and a marked sign of progrr-aa. I am con¬ cerned io say that on no other head do the announce¬ ment-! supply any cause for congratulation i 1. Lauree Irish subjects, ripe for treatment, are to be referred to commissioners of Inquiry. Thia Ls a policy (while social order is in question) of almost indefU-ite delay. 2. Moreover, while s commission is to inquire whether th* rates of judicial rente are, or ara not, such as eas be paid, the aid of the law for levying the present rente in November has been srieelally and emphatically promised. This is a marked disoourago- ment to remissions ot rent and a powerful stlm-lus to evictions 8. A project has been sketched of Imposing upon the state the payment of all moneys required to meet the difference between these actual rents and what the land can fairly bear. Thia project ls in principle radically bsd and it would be an aet of rapine on the treasury of the conntrv. 4. Whereat, the greatest evil of Ireland ls that its mugiaterial and administrative systems are felt to be other than Irish, no ^ropoaal is made for the recon¬ struction ot what ls known aa the Dublin Caatle goverunent 5. It la proponed t. spend large sums of publlo money on public worka of all kinda for the material deieiopment of Ireland under Kutrllsh authority and Dublin Castle administration. Tbis plan is in the highest degree wasteful. Itu unjust to the British taxpayer, and it is an obvious attempt to divert the Irian nation hy pi-cunituy inducement from ita honor- sblo aim of nationnl self-government and will, as such, be resented 0. The limitation of local government in Ireland to what may at this moment be desired tor Urea'. Britain, is just to none of our nationalities, rests upon no recognized principle, and is especially an ucjust limitation of the Irish national deeire In my opinion such a policy for dealing with tho Irish question ought not to Ce and cannot be adopted.

The Donovans bars come to tbs fron t. " Larry r M. Donovan, another Fourth Wardar, surpassed Brodie's feat yesterday. Donovan Jumped from the Bridge at Itt highest point, from ths sams spot where Odlora mad* bU fatal leap a year ago, bat unlike Odium, bs exec-ted bu foolhardy attemot in safety.

The last Jsmp was msds on Wednesday. Thea Donavan de¬ clared himself ready for tho Bridge or any other Jump. what one Fourth Warder could do any other Fourth Wardar could repeat, was his opinion. Yesterday waa eboeeu aa the proper time, and tha boar was plaoed at 2 p. m. But learning that lt woald be high water early Inrthe morning tbe time waa changed. An express wsgon waa hired on Friday night to be In readiness at the New-York entrance to tbs Bridge byf) o'clock. A boat was lo bo ready at tbs Dover-st. dook at the same hour. Donovan appeared shortly after 5. His ordinary dark clothes were drawn on over a pair ot light drawers and red flannel shirt. Leonard, hla trainer, bad made bim a set of heavy cotton pads to be Worn under tho armpits and between tho legs so tbat he would not be Injured by striking the water. Leonard also wanted him to take a sponge In bis mooth but Douo van declined. If he died In bis attempt he wanted bis mouth clear, he explained. Wnen ba stepped Into tbe wairoa at tbe Bridge be wore a pair of baseball shoes. Mrs. Leonard at the last moment begged aim not to make the attempt, but Donovan drank a strong cup of ooffee and reminded her tbat when a Fourth Warder undertook anything he never went back ou lu Tbe man who took tbe fare at the Bridge looked a little suspiciously at Donovan, but tbere wae nothing to Indicate hts par- pose aud bo went ou unmolested. Tbe driver lay baok la tbe wagon and pretended to be asleep. As tber paased The Police Gazette. Building the root was crowded with people, somo ot whom had opera susans. These were luvlted guests, wbo were on band to witness the Jump and bad bet on the reeult. Wnen tbe wagon reached tbe New-York tower, Donovan handed baok the lines to the driver. " Now I'll get reedy for business. Tom,*" he remarked. He threw off his outer clothing and a to od ready as the wagon reached the centre of tbe Bridge and stepped off tbe wsgon to the big cable tbat runs on a level at this point before lt begins to ascend toward tbe Brooklyn tower. Tbe sun was Just getting up over the house tops and IU rays were streaming through the net work of the Bridge. There waa cot a boat on tbe river and the water waa at huh tide and quite smooth Tbere waa no oue near to disturb Donovan. The drtver looked ou ** mn.ut a word. Donovan ouly paused to col¬ lect himself. Dieu be drew a long breatb.apraugoutelght feel'dean from Hie Bridge and abut downward, feet foremost, bis flannel ehlrt making a red streak thruugn tbe air. From tbe pier bia de¬ scent was recorded by a tlms-watch. It took three seconds and a bait te reaoa tbe water Hie buiy reoialuea perfectly strat.ht with bis hands al busbies until within a few feet of tbe water. Iben lila legs appeared to quiver as if he was losing bia balance.

He shook bis bead to get the water fruin bis eyes and struck oat boldly for tbe boat lhat was delayed In leaving the pier. A shout weat up from the crowd. Donovan swam more than a hundred yerda beioro he reached tbe boat aud wae drawn lo. "You're a nice lazy lot of docks, yon are,** waa bia flrst exclamation.

Kilsa-lbbous sprang into a grooerv wagon and waa driven rapidly to the Duver-st. pier, which he reached Just as the boat came up wlib Donovan In it. William Fogarty, I at- rick Debblns and John Thompaou, printers; Jobn Hanley and Toter Mahoney, life-savers lu bathing attire, were tn the boat.

BtonoB pamphlet on ths Irish question ls o polittosl.yent ot the first magnitude. Ths sffcct must be
.Hia-At-.J to dispose ot tho Irish question or to dis¬
pose of Mr. Gladstone. It U sn appeal hom and to
tbs constituencies and eontsins s.eae nore, doo-
trine. Mr. Gladstone himself evidently regsids the
.ccasion ss aimilar to std not less solemn thsn
those ot 18t>8. when be wss shoot to dieeaUblitb
the Irish Church, snd of 1876. when he rescued
Bulaaria. On both occasions he published similar
appeals. Nothing thst erer esme from his nen
.bows more animal ion. ingenuity, yoathfal energy.
ana hopefulness than this Ust psmpbtet It
p lexi nos bis whole future to Home Rule. W'hstever
bappeus. never can Mr. Gladstone desert the cause,
his advocacy of which he now declares was not the
.^ultof sudden conviction, bat the lesultof the
¦iMsly and continuous growth ot his own mind.
What tlie -fleet may be ou English public opinionremains to be seen. There is no sign that be is
likely to reconquer the sffe. ton of those Liberals
who renounced their allegiance to their leader
rather thsn follow him into the Home Kule csinp.
Their mouthpiece in the press describe, his ac¬
count of his personal relation to ibis question as tho
chum of a right to conceal from his colleagues the
Unft of his meditations on his policy, oven tv lieu it
is opposed to tho tendency ot bis public acts and to
the declared opinions of his party. " What security
la there." asks the lesding Journal, ¦ thst behind
Home Kolo Mr. Uladstone may not have iu reserve
a policy of total separation botween Ireland and
England f" It accuses him of a deliberate attemptto foster disruptiouist tendencies throughout Great
Britain by prexsitig tho principle of what he calls
Mtiooalitiss, He treats the United Kingdom as a
.ort of confederacy, each member of which oughtto have a veto on the decisions of all tho rest
This, which his critics describe as an lnfcreuco
from Mr. Gladstone's propositions, is merely a trav¬
esty of then-
Mr. liladstone's alleged abandonment of the LandPurchase bill brings forth bitter inquiries as to
what has become of tbat obligation of honor on
which he asserted that the bill wss based and as
to what Lord Spencer and Mr. Morley s Ul do, both
steeped to the lips In pledges to stand between the
Irish landlords and the Irish Parliament, But Mr.
Gl_b'one, though he admits that the sentence of
tla^Buutry against the bill is irresistible docs not
admit thst he has abandoned the principle sf the
measure. To this he s ill attempt to give effect byother means. Nevertheless, tho most will be made
by the Tories of the fact that tbe bill Itself ls, as
they say, - tossed overboard with cynical loco-laxity."The debate in the House of Commons on the ad¬
dress follows tbe usual course and proves discursive
to an unexpected degree. It has the great merit
of not being dull. Mr. Parnell's amendment has
borne all the fruit he hoped for, perhaps more, for
lt has . on-ol.dated the alliance between tbe Tonesand the Liberal Unionists The division on this
amendment supplied tho first practical test of the
closeness of their cohesion. Every Importantmember of both sections of the Liberal Unionistsvoted with the Tories. Ths majority of 123 bywhn li the amendment wss defeated waa, however,no larger than was anticipated after Mr. Glad¬stone declined to support it In thia however, as
In seme other matters. Mr. Gladstone's absenc. is
interpreted as leaving the rank and file of the partyto do sh they like. Mr. Gladstone's colleagues ab¬
stained from voting as a matter of decent respect totheir chief. Ihe great body of Gladstonian Liberalsfollowed the l_ruelli.es into the lobby.The debate, moreover, bas been embittered by re¬
peated eftorts to silence or to embarrass leadingspeakers on both sides. Lord Randolph Char, hill'svain struggle to enforce the roles of tbe Houseagaiust Mr. Gladstone provoked reprisals sllaround. The House has seldom seen in the same
space of time so much had temper and bad manners.
Mr. Chamberlain's speech was from tho House ofCommons point of view tho liveliest of the session.Tbe Radical leader io now for a variety of reasons
the best hated mao in the House. The Parnellitesaccuse him of having turned against them. TheGladstonians complain of him as a desert.r fromthe Liberal ranks and resent what tbey call hispersonal attacks on Mr. Gladstone. Having tauntedhim with bis silence since the session began, theytutu bi i.ed to prevent his breaking it. E. R. Russell'smotion to adjourn the House in order to discuss SirEedvers Boiler's appointment was followed by Ar¬thur OTonnor's protest against Mr. Chamberlainsspeaking because he was not the first to resumethe debate, the adjournment of which he had movedon Wodneaoav. These tactics proina fuule, otnerobstructionists objected to his discussing mattersnot germane to Mr. Parnella amendment Herethey succeeded, the Parnellites refusing to Mr.Chamberlain the indulgence which the Honse on
Tuesday had granted to Mr. Gladstone.
Mr. Chamberiaiu'B speech nevertheless waa a won¬derful debating performauce, sparkling, bard-hit¬ting, exasperating Gladstonians and Parneliitosalika sod winning tumultuous Tory cheers.

I will not,'' said Mr. Sexton, * askthe people of Ireland to pauperize themselves luorder te furnish arsruments for their own ruin."Tbe onlv other point on wbioh the Ministry have
been pressed is tbs sppointment of Sir RedversBuller, which proves intensely distastefulto tbe Irish party ; but the effect of thedebate raised by the Liberal allies wasto make it olear that he goes in a purely civil ca¬pacity with the powers of a divisional magistrateand no others.The feeling in England during the laat throe
days can only be described ss one of intensesolicitude for the personal safety of Prince Alex-snder. The English, who believe the Russians arecapable of anything, feared foul piny. The newsof the safe arrival of the Prince at Lem borg pro¬duced an explosion of joy.Knglish papors urge him to return st once to
Sophia and to resume the Government regardless ofthe wishes of Prince Bismarck or anybody else.Nobody donbts thst Bulgana wants him bsck. Theoverthrow of the conspiracy which called itself sprovisional Government baa lioen the triumph ofdemocracy. The people of Bulgaria nsserU>d theirwill, but Prince Bistnarok's regard for Bulgaria, orher people, is slight and his desire to save the sus¬ceptibilities of the Czar is groat Whether PrinceAlexander can return or remalu depends on theresult of the conference between Prince Pismarcksud M. do Giers. What people here hope is thatPrince Bism-Tok will see that it cannot be for thopeace of Europe or for the security of any thronethat sny Government should como tosn end by kidnapping or piracy. ButPrince Alexander himself may not care to returnunless he obtains assurances of supportAttempts to adjust tbe Welsh tithe dispute fail

The proposed organizalion of the We Ix LtParliamentary party has similar aims, but will in¬clude Welsh interests in general, especially agri¬cultural interests The Welsh tenants have shownthemselves before now to bo imbuod with a prettyradical Idea about Und.

He desired, he said, to pay honorto the immortal principle of tho British Empire,but looked to the Colonial penny postage and totbe Canadian Paciflo Railway as actual instru¬ments of closer relations between Ens-laud and theColonies.The French workmen's delegation are still here,
and seem to be identifying themselves more closelythan ever with the Socialists. Tho Social l).*in.*-cratic Federation gives them a farewell dinner on
Mouday, wben tbey will sit down with Hyudman,Stepniak, Prince Krapotkiu and other Anarchists.The same Federation are fomenting further dis¬turbances.

OUS ARD INADEQUATE.LOKDON, Ant. 2a.Mr. Gladstone's pamphlet on
tte Lrtah question ands with s poetcript, dated August22. lt is ae follows .-
B-aee these pana were written the principal Inten¬tions ot the Mlniatera in reepect to Ireland nave beeuannouno-sl. The stateemen who in January deemedcoercive measures sn absolute neeesaltv. do not nowpropose them, although agrarian prime haa rather tn-SBttBSn snd Ireland has been perturbed (so they said)by tbe proposal of Home Rule. Thia ia s heavy blowto ooerasn and a marked sign of progrr-aa. I am con¬cerned io say that on no other head do the announce¬ment-! supply any cause for congratulation i
1. Lauree Irish subjects, ripe for treatment, are to bereferred to commissioners of Inquiry. Thia Ls a policy(while social order is in question) of almost indefU-itedelay.
2. Moreover, while s commission is to inquirewhether th* rates of judicial rente are, or ara not, suchas eas be paid, the aid of the law for levying thepresent rente in November has been srieelally andemphatically promised. This is a marked disoourago-ment to remissions ot rent and a powerful stlm-lus toevictions
8. A project has been sketched of Imposing upon thestate the payment of all moneys required to meet thedifference between these actual rents and what theland can fairly bear. Thia project ls in principleradically bsd and it would be an aet of rapine on thetreasury of the conntrv.
4. Whereat, the greatest evil of Ireland ls that itsmugiaterial and administrative systems are felt to beother than Irish, no ^ropoaal is made for the recon¬struction ot what ls known aa the Dublin Caatlegoverunent
5. It la proponed t. spend large sums of publlomoney on public worka of all kinda for the materialdeieiopment of Ireland under Kutrllsh authority andDublin Castle administration. Tbis plan is in thehighest degree wasteful. Itu unjust to the Britishtaxpayer, and it is an obvious attempt to divert theIrian nation hy pi-cunituy inducement from ita honor-sblo aim of nationnl self-government and will, as such,be resented
0. The limitation of local government in Ireland towhat may at this moment be desired tor Urea'. Britain,is just to none of our nationalities, rests upon no
recognized principle, and is especially an ucjustlimitation of the Irish national deeire In my opinionsuch a policy for dealing with tho Irish question oughtnot to Ce and cannot be adopted.
