Tae is as much ink wasted, in the papers received by the Bokiara, on the subject of the. change of government in England, as there was: talk and time wasted in the House of Commons. The garrison might have marched out With the Honours of War," as they are represented doing in Tenniel's cartoon in Punch, without #0 much parleying. The journals which approve Lord Salisbury's waiting to sco if Gladstone really had a majority stultify themselves by, writing of the vote of no confidence after it was taken asa ''foregone canel "The following is the couitencement. of the leading article in the Times of the 12th of August; if, as the Times ani was. plain that the argument from arithmetic would prevail, why waste time in putting it to the test?
By a majority of 40, in the fullest House of which there is any record, but, it is needless to say, by a strict party vote, the repre sentatives of the United Kindgom have @eclared that they have no confidence in Lord Salisbury's Administration. It is a arty victory won on party grounds and to that has remained in power for six years employed ior party objects. NoGovernment has enjoyed the same measure of success, Blundors and disasters there are none to lay tothe charge of the Unionist Ministry. When the last Parliament was dissolved the affairs of the nation, at, home and abroad, wore in a condition' of tranquillity, order, and prosperity which offered a significant contrast to the situation in which Mr. Gladstone is accustomed. to leave national and Imperial interests... The battle of the general election was not fought upon the contention that the Unionists had failed.. It was won by the lavish promises of the Separatists. In the debate on the Address the Opposition have not ventured to enter upon a Parliamentary im-+hment of the conduct of LordSalisburyand is colleagues. Mr. Asquith's hostile amend. ment assumed that the only issue before the louise Was to be determined by the counting of heads, and the Gladstonians, by their resolute silence, have shown how glad' they are to have a plausible excuse for confine themselves to a field in which logic is helpless and eloquence is dumb, The arithmetic prevailed, as ix was prevail, last. night,' To-day Lord Salisbury \will tender his resignation, and. it is certain that Mr. Gladstone will be summoned without delay by the Queen to undertake the task of! forming. his fourth Administration. So comes to'an end: a Ministry which, loyally supported, not only by ite regular followers, but by its Liberal' allies, performed & work the value of which has not been'destroyed by the temporary' triumph of a' system of pandering to the greed and "passion of the misses that outdoes the-most extravagant flights-of Aristophanic satire. The Union has' been 3 the- Empire has been strengthened;' prosperity has: followed the maintenance of law, order, and-peace, for the Government that is Coming into office—we'dé riot Say: into power—it'ttiust: be the bond-slave of the Irish faction, without the support of which it could not: hold for a.week. The tactics of evasion, dealing, and secret whderstanding, By the British public has been hoodwinked, are. no longer available. If we are still as far as ever keoiwing "what 'Mr. Gladstone's Irish patiey, is, we have heard at all events what his masters have told him their policy is and must remain. It is the daty of Unionists now, even more than it Was in 1886, to' wage a truceless war against Administration which has placed itself in subjection to a band of Separatist politicians pursuing objects that ran directly counter to the general interests of the United Kingdom and of the Empire at large.
Woe might multiply extracts, but owing to the constant receipt nowadays of so much news by telegraph, the change of government hus now become ancient history. The following extract from the Liverpool Daily Postis worth reproducing:—When the time comes for Mr. Redmond and his handful to table their demands'Mr, Gladstone will be found not less firm than courteous, and the little Redmond party will countrymen by preventing the concession of not invoke the condign resentment of their
of these two sections as the section that Home Role, "Mr, Balfour yesterday spoke had been squared and the section' that had not been squared. There has been no squaring, but a great deal of reasonable satisfaction has been given, and some strong measures subsidiary to Home Rule may be presumed to be likely during the coming transition period. Mr. Gladstone's words on thia point were carefully prepared and—an unusual thi with him—r from manuscript; and they seem to forestiadow. measures in favour of the evicted tenants if necessary and the amnestying of some of the, Fenian prisoners, besides the prosecution of the Home Rule Bill against the opposition of the Lords in the. most determined spirit and by the most effective methods. But as tothe question of Imperial supremacy Mr. Glades no encouragement to Mr, Red.
demands: The crown is-to-be supreme in the manner in which it is supreme in other parts of the Empire, while the Irish people are to receive a full: transference of the management of their own affairs, It would seem reasonable to expect that the Irish members—for it is the way of the world—will ask far more than -thoy really expect to obtain; but at the same time they know that if they allow Mr, Gladstone-to be overthrown now, they may say a long farewell to all hope of Home Rule. The Conservative pape in which the Times must be include on Mr. Gladstone's only having a majority by the help of the Irish party; it might be pointed out that if Mr. Gladstone relics on the Irish party, Lord Salisbury relies on the anti-irish party, as the Liberal isto profess to be followers of Mr.
