Liberalism to England.

Tbe "Westminster Review" makes light •rf Hr Chamberlain's defection from the Gladstone party, and insists that the coarse O f Irish freedom will go on in spite of ■obstruction and secession. Mr Gladstone, ifcia maintained, has touched the heart and conscience of the democracy, and whether lelives to see the victory or not, the cause proceed and prosper. "The people wi ll not consent that Ireland shall be held as a subject province, and be treated as a camp follower on the outskirts of British prosperity, in order that eastern nations my be convinced of our capacity to .mvern " On the same subject the history Jf Home Rule in Lower Canada is held up Zm example of what may be done in Ireland for in Lower Canada race hatreds, religion's differences, disaffection, con tempt of law, have passed away simpy because the colonists have been allowed to govern themselves. An article on woman workers in the Liberal cause shows that anite recently Women's Liberal associations ten been originated with an aggregate Sberehip of over 10,000 A Liberal Leamie, with its branches and badges, has been formed; and in one division of Lanca shire* union with over 4000 members, con sisting for the most part of women, is bring ing a new and. invigorating element into political life. It is estimated that from 45000 to 60,000 women are united for political purposes, or are actively making the necessary preparations. In February last Mrs Gladstone presided over an as semblage in London at which a Women's Liberal Federation was formed. A definite programme and code of rules were adopted, committees were chosen, and all the machinery for carrying on a widespread and energetic propaganda was set in motion.
