The Irish National League of Great Britain warns the Liberal candidates that nothing short of legislative autonomy on the terms demanded by Mr Parnell in July last will satisfy Ireland. The women who caused the injury to Mr Gladstone's eye is said to addicted to drink and a violent Home Ruler. The Parnellites rushed a hall in Dublin where the other party were holding a meeting, and took possession of it They severely treated their opponent, and in the confusion Dr Tanner was robbed. Tbe police were compelled to protect the weaker side with drawn swords. In his speech at Edinburgh Mr Gladstone said none of the provisions of the Home Kule Bill of 1886 would be retracted, and the retention of Irish members at Westminster would be added. The supremacy of the Imperial Parliament would resemble that over the autonomous colonies, though it was hardly likely it would have to be exercised, since it was monstrous to suppose that Canada and Australia would practise gross injustice against a minority, and there was still legs likelihood in Ireland. The Government would have to decide in a practical spirit whether it would be better to retain all or part of the Irish members, and whether they should vote on all Home subjects, or whether the same members should sit both in Dublin and London. The press complains that Mr Gladstone's speech reveals nothing. It is expected that twenty-eight Tories, eight Unionists, and fifteen Liberals will be unopposed. Both parties are busy raising funds to prosecute the campaign. Peeresses are openly engaged canvassing. The Duke of Norfolk, head of the Roman Catholic peers, asserts that autonomy will be merely a pretended boon to the men who defied the Pope. Sir J. Gorsfc has been returned unopposed. Archbishop Walsh has addressed a letter to the Irish clergy, directing j them not to meddle with the meeting. The employers in the boot trade have ordered a general locloout, owing to the Trade Union not stopping the strike at Northampton. It is believed that 90,000 men will be thrown out of employment.
