house and garden where perhaps no minister is required, it permits those conveniences to be had just where they are wanted. And it saves the property thus given for ecclesiastical purposes from the direct and constant control of the State, thus leaving the Churches free, instead of making them Erastian appendages to the State.

It is to be hoped, then, that the Lords will respect the principle of disendowment as well as that of disestablishment, that they will not let the Erastian ideas which characterize the Tory party generally infect the endowment which they leave to the disestablished Church; and that if they insist upon treating the disestablished Church with more generosity than they say the House of Commons has treated it with, they will remember that there is one principle which comes before generosity, and that is justice. Whatever distribution of gifts they make, they ought to be equal; that is proportion ately, not absolutely, equal. And if amendments which do not observe these conditions do not stop the Bill, if the House of Commons accepts as much of the Lords' amend ments as it can, they will mar the Bill, make it certain that a fresh agitation will be raised upon the subject, and will necessitate fresh legislation upon it within a very little time. It was only in 1867 that the personal payment of rates was considered by the Tories the one condition which made household suffrage tolerable. Now there is a Bill introduced by the Government into the House of Commons to destroy that fanciful safeguard, because of the enormous grievan

ces which it has caused. The representation of minorities is in nearly as bad a plight. It is not worth while to tack on the present Bill any similar appendages, only to disappear within a few years, the sole effect of which will be to cause an act of conciliation to be done in the most unconciliatory way. For the peace and good government of the Empire, it is most important that this great question should be settled at once in a permanent and thorough way. For the advantage of the Liberal party it is not so important. It is not against their interests that there should still be grievances to abolish, or that their opponents should make themselves unpopular with the nation. Whatever the House of Lords may do, the nation has testified by its acts its desire to be just to Ireland. The men whom we wish to conciliate are our fellow-citizens; they have taken part with us in the whole political action of the session, and with us they are watching what is now taking place. They see as well as we can see where the good-will lies, and as well as we can they can place their finger upon that which hinders its perfect embodiment. It is patent to Ireland and to the whole Empire that it is not the fault of the people, of the Commons, or of the Liberal party, if a great act of reconciliation between united but antagonistic nations, should be accompanied by hostile feeling against an order which does not scruple to interfere in the work in a spirit inimical to the expressed will of all the three nations concerned.
