Mr. Gladstone. when he rose to speak, was received with an outburst of eathusiastic cheers. He began by admitting that he fretted justly over the progress of measures in which he himself was interested, but he held out the hope that before the close. of the year some resalts would be achieved, especially in regard to local governâ€" ment and parish councils. _ With referâ€" ence to the disestablishment of the Church of Scotland he believed that the bill prepared by Mr. Cameron was designed as a practical settlement of the question and would open the doors for a union of the Presbyterian comâ€" munions. â€"He hoped that the friends of the Etablished Church would acâ€" cept this chance for a moderate settleâ€" ment. Mr. Gladstone‘s Utterances on the Situationâ€" London, September 28.â€"â€"‘fThe many days spent on Home Rule will not be without a harvest," declaced Mr. Gladâ€" stone at Edinburgh yesterday, where he addressed the Midlothian committee in Albert Hall last night. Tt had been announced thet Mr Gladâ€" stone would, in his address to the com mittee, declare the policy that the Govâ€" ernment intends to follow until the next general election. . Great interest was everywhere displayed in political circles as to what he would have to say in regard to the‘ Government‘s proâ€" gramme, and the hall was crowded to the doors long before he avrived. HOME RULE BILL and spoke substantially as follows : "In spite of all that has been said the last session of the House of Commons will have to be recorded as a barren one. The fact that the people‘s chamâ€" ber deliberately and advisedly passed, after a long and searching discussion, a bill of such vast importance, is the moss significant step in connection with the whole subject of the contentâ€" ment, happiness and peace of Ireland. (Cheers.) The fact is the present Parâ€" lh1amentary institutions are too weak for their purpose. They overâ€"weigh and do not meet the demands of the country. . In spite of the sacrifices of the House of Commons during the last session there was a legislative famine. There is something wioag and defectâ€" ive in the present institutions. â€" The condition is intolerable and demands the concentrated attention of the naâ€" tion, with the view of the removal of the defects. _ The evil is immeasurable. On one hand is the nation expressing just demands; on the other hand are the necessary measures to satisfy those demands. But, between the two there is a great barrier, namely, the Trish question, which has taxed the energy and mortgaged the time of Parliament generation after generation. _ Why has this questioa continued to exist so long and who is answerable for its reâ€" maining before us? There is only one reply â€" The responsibility rests with the House of Lords. [Cheers ] _ Who has the remedy in dealing with this ereat ovil? HOME RULE NOT DEAD. _ Mr. Gladstone then proceeded to reâ€" view the relations that existed between the House of Lords and the House of Commons since the passage of the Reâ€" form bill in 1832.. He cited three cases in which the Peers had rejected measures passed by the Commons, the third of which was THE REFUSAL OF THE LORDS to pass the Home Rule Bill in 1886. This measure having been rejected by the Upper House the question was disâ€" cussed incessantly until 1892, when the whole country returned a majority im its favor. That verdict the Lords had reversed. _ It was hardly a case in which one opinion was as good as anâ€" other. . The Peers form their opinions for themselves. They are responsible to nobody, and if it proves wroug they will neither be abused nor made to sufâ€" fer in anyway. "I think, therefore," said the speaker, "that the Peers do no not stand well on their own showâ€" ing. They certainly stand worse on the showing of their friends in the House of Commons. â€" The latter set up the fantastic plea that the people knew nothing of the bill. Necessarily it inâ€" involves a multitude of important deâ€" tails, but with the single exception of the retention in Parliament of the Trish members, on which we to the utâ€" most conform to the will of the people, the country displayed no disposition to enter into detail. It was content to leave it to the discussion of Parliaâ€" ment, _ There could not possibly be a more frivolous pretence than that the people do not know the bill. The plea that the Home Rule Bill was insufficâ€" iently discussed is equally flimsy, and the House of Lords did well to avoid these pretences, the adoption of which would have shown egregious folly and want of tact and skill, for they disposed in four days of a bill that occupied the attention of the House of Commons eightyâ€"two days. Then there is the third plea that the Lords are entitled toâ€"indeed, I think they say bound by dutyâ€"to require a reference to the country. _ That is not the constitution The shows that if a responsible ministry advises a dissolution of Parliament there ought to be a dissolution at the Mr. Gladstona then turned to the DoCTRINE OF THE CONSTITUTION risk of the ministry, and the House of Commons has power, which it has freâ€" quently exercised, to force a dissolution by vote. _ But no such thing has been recorded at any period of our history as a dissolution brought about by. a vote of the House fof Lords. Such a contention is a gross, a monstrous inâ€" novation, an odious, newâ€"fangled doctâ€" rine, and no men are fonder of these dostrines than the modern Tories, exâ€" cept it be the modern Unionists. But in addition to being a newâ€"fangled doctrine, I hold that it is nothing less than high treason if this is to be a selfâ€" @overning country. After a passing reference to the inâ€" telligence and incomparable unity of the Liberals, without which the minorâ€" ity would, he said,have broken down and destroyed the bill without sending it to the House of Lords, Mr.Gladstone continued : "I was not so sure when Lord Salisbury threatened a year ago to destroy the Home Rule bill, that the Lords recognized that this might involve the question of their own inâ€" dependent and responsible existence. (Prolonged cheers.) If it should ever happen injthe vicissitudes of political affairs the House of Lords, by some accident or collateral process, should bring about a dissolution of the House of Commons, depend upan it the peoâ€" ple will not consider the Home Rule bill alone, but will mix it with anoth: er question in which the Lords may bitterly lament when it is too late, that they ever raised an issue." THE . UTMOST DISCRETION f if those rights are to be permanently preserved. _ On this occasion, he said, discretion has been entirely and al)suâ€"‘ lutely. wanting. In regard to the: manner of facing the situation, Mr. (Hadstone said that there could not}be procured a cut and dried solution of the dilemma. This was neither the time nor the place to consider the matâ€" ter. He counselled neither violence nor vehemence, All that was necessâ€" ary was a quiet determination to cling to the hope that better counsel would prevail and induce the House of Lords to Ireland some just satisfaction for her national aspirations. _ If the worst came to the worst the consolation that could be offered would be to remind them that in recent history and of the vast changes of the past sixty years not one originated in the House of Lords or was promoted by the Lords, or the existence of which on the statâ€" ute book was due to the impartial opinion of the Lords. To every one of those changes the opinion of the House of Lords had been adverse, although its manifestation might have been pruâ€" dently restrained again. can lay upon a majority of the Comâ€" mons there would be something, at least, like a prima facie case of justice and equality, some small plea for this tattle of the House of Lords to the right to correct the judgment of the House of Commons and to send them bac‘ to the country. _ But there is not even the thinnest presumption of justâ€" ification for such a proceediug. That being so, we have arrived at a very serious position, and the grand questâ€" ion is, how are we to escape from it ?" After a tribute of respect and admiâ€" ration for the personal qualities of the peers as individuals, Mr. Gladstone contended that the rights possessed by both the Lords and the Commons must always be exercised with "For my part," said Mr. Gladstone, "I find this retrospect of affairs nearly encouraging. If the nation is deterâ€" mined it will not be baffled by a phaâ€" lanx of 500 peers. _ We have the will of the country to execute and cannot submit to the House of Lords, although they bear highâ€"sounding titles, and sit in gilded chamber. The next session will not pass without your seeing this subject again appearing above the waves where it has for the moment apâ€" peared to founder. The nation has given us the authority and propelled us on our course, and it is our duty and our hope and belief that we shall find, with the help of the Almighty, means to reach the goal." London Advertiser :â€"Hon. Wiifred Laurier spoke, as he always does, unexâ€" ceptional English in Ontario ; Sir John Thompson essayed to speak in French language in Montreal ; and Mr. Foster undertook to give a few sentences in German in Waterloo. It was obserred, however, that while Mr. Foster talked the Germans present looked on in asâ€" tonishment, while one was overheard asking his neighbor, "Is the man talkâ€" ing Italian?" It is understoad that in one of his "moments of weakness" Mr. Foster was claiming that in the remete ages his ancestors lived in Gerâ€" many ! Acton Free Press : A clergyman wag aunoyed by the people talking and gigâ€" gling in a church outside of Acton. He paused looked at the disturbers, and said : "Some years since, as I was preaching, a young man who sat before me was constantly laughing and makâ€" ing uncouth grievances. I paused and administered a severe rebuke. After the close of the service a genteman said to me : ‘Sir, you madea great misâ€" take ; that young . man was an idiot.‘ Since then I have always been afraid to reprove those who misâ€"behave themâ€" selves in church, lest I_ should repeat that mistake and reprove another iliot."

"are urlike any that have existed before." _ In the discussion of these conditions, among many practical suggestions offered is this especially timely one :â€""It should be observed that one of the great trades is being almost completely igâ€" nored by our young men. The farmâ€" er‘s boy detests the farms and seeks the cities. Is he wise? ‘The farm is said to be dull, and the farmer‘s life unproâ€" fitable and uncertain. _ All these things are being rapidly changed. â€" The trolley road is completely changing the social life of the farm. _ Farming is becoming a manufacture and more of an exact business, and it must in i the nature of things bscome, what it once was, a safe and profitable industry demanding the highest skill, and giving ample reâ€" ward for all its labour. _ The old homeâ€" stead offthe poet may indeed disapâ€" pear, with its bad drainage and pretty sentiment. â€" The tood manufacturer is the coming man in the world‘s greatest business.
