There has been a tendenoy of late among the smartest women to take off their gloves in pub- lic and carry them in their hands. Especially is this done at garden parties, and during the recent hot weather it has been felt to be a boon. It is not a new idea. Half a century ago Emile de Girardin wrote "Women who have beautiful arms take off their gloves and dance without them." _s

THE SOUTHPORT ELECTION. POLITICALLY the Southport election is a pleasant refreshing breeze in the dull season which is now upon us. The interest in it has been stimulated by the partial repudiation of the Home Rule shibboleth by the Liberal candi- date, and which has been the railing stock-in-trade of the Conservative party. The dovecotes of Liberal Unionism has been in a state of turbulent agitation, and has necessitated the intervention of the oracle of Birmingham. It is evident that he is most anxious to maintain the disruption of the Empire for his party, hence his frantic clutch- ing the last straw which alone is the plea of justifying his right of dictatorial authority in this present coalition ministry. Home Rule is a principle which has been a most difficult one to sustain with vital enthusiasm through the period of opposition experienced by the Liberal party. The principle has been also made more difficult to keep in good preservation the by varying ungracious way with which the Irish party has, on more than one occa- sion, supported the aspirations of the Nonconformist legislation. Coalition Ministries," said Lord Beaconsfield, "never live long." Coalition, also, of two sections of the Legislature with two fundamental theories so widely different is equally difficult of perpetual co-operaticn. Is it, therefore, a wonder that Home Rule is set somewhat in the background by Liberal candidates ? We must confess that our enthusiasm is waning for Home Rule for Ireland first and foremost, and, therefore, we feel that though the principle remains unalterably sound, Home Rule all Lowd" is, peihajpo, the best solution

of the question as applied to practical Liberal legislation. It is clear to us that this is the attitude taken up by the leading Liberal Unionists of South- port. It has taken the Unionists a long time to find out that the Home Rule for Ireland whistle is oosting them a great deal, and more than they bargained for. They feel, and it is time they felt, that they have been dragged ignominiously through the gutterdom of Conservatism in order to feed this one fad of the party. We are not sorry that the chairman of the Liberal Unionists of Southport has initiated tha revolt and elected to look upon the programmes of the two parties in the bulk, and placed all the reforms which are possible from a Liberal Ministry as weightier in consideration than the one negotiation- called Home Rule. It is irrefutable that this contentious prineiple has been relegated to a secondary position by most impatient Liberals of this country. The suspension of many labour questions, educational questions, and others which form the groundwork of progressing ambitions has been so irritating that all ardent Liberals feel that though Home Rule must ultimately be realised, that for a time, sinee other questions are crowdingly urgent, it ie better to diminish the emphasis of enactment in order to clear the decks for other reforms. The foreign policy of Lord Salisbury is a reproach, and a bye-word in every one's opinion. He has wobbled disgracefully. China is a brand of scorn that will hand down his name as a Peace with Dishonour statesman in our political history. Southport election is a refreshing departure whicn we do not regret, because we have been surfeited with the perpetual conjuring tricks of the anti-Home Rule cry. The ingratitude of Dublin to the memory of William Ewart Gladstone, the inhuman thanklessness of a people for whom the great man sacrificed so much should receive its penalty "Love thy neighbour as thyself" is the limit of the Christian injunction. Liberals of England, Seotland, and 18 Wales, by according Home Rule for Ireland, a forefront position in the past years, have been loving the Irish nation better" than they have loved them- selves, and by its extravagance of a Christian virtue found nought but political adversity. We would not object to place Home Rule temporarily in the back ground for a Parlia- ment or two, and go for immediate domestic reform, such as Land Reform, Leasehold Enfranchisements, Payment of Members, Taxation Values and Royalties, a National System of Education, Tenure ta the Famer, and many others, which have been blocked too long by this incubus Home Rule. If we realised theae the people would be released from intolerable burdens and our social condition bettered and made more equitably bearable. I RESULT OF THE POLL.

NEARING the end," "Peace," and such like headlines are the moving,. exhilarating, news of the week. We had almost despaired of any attempted effort towards settlement, the dignity of the masters and the dogged deter- mination of the me& to fight to the last had raised such barriers and difficulties that any settlement seemed gloomily distant and remote. Thanks. for the silver lining seen in the clouds this week. Thanks for the evidence of thawing in the frigid attitude of the contending parties. The Provisional Committee has been Warned for lack of policy and even Sir Edward Fry criti- cised the leaders of the men in the same strain. But is it right for the men to so adjudge them ? We think not, and we are glad to find that this note of condemnation is not accentuated in the- decisions of the recent meetings. The leaders have been reminded by the. decisions of the conferences of repre- sentatives more than once that they are- delegates. If delegates they cannot be leaders. The confusion of confidence ia the position held by them has weakened their power of leading. The meir must remember that the start of no plenary powers" was enough in itself to deprive the members oi the Provisional Committee of the very grit which for good leadership was absolutely necessary. The master's leaders have been unshaken, in fact, the employers liave shown a marvellous solidarity in aim and purpose. They have not made the chairmanship & shmttlecock, but have stood true to their leaders throughout. Doubtless, had the men stuck loyally to their leaders and had shown that Mabon and his colleagues were trusted, their leaders' negociating power might have been greatly strengthened. But we must let bye-gones be bye- gones, and we are more than de- lighted to find that in all directions O the mandate of workmen's meetings is a restoration of that essential element of endowment of implicit trust and power vested in the leadership. In- dividual opinion must, if the law of demoeratic government is rightly un der- stood, sink its individualism for the opiaiou 9f the Biauy, The wjae law.
