HOME RULE.
(PKR PEESS ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, June 21. Mr Gladstone has agreed to lessen the Irish contribution towards the expense of the police by £250,000. Viscount Wolmer, in the House of Commons, moved an amendment to the Home Rule Bill prohibiting retrospective legislation by the Irish Legislature. Mr Chamberlain supported the amend, rnent, on the ground fcbat the opponents of the Nationalists feared tbat the Land League would take revenge on them for past disputes. Mr Balfour said that without some such provision as the amendment the door would be left open for reckless confiscation The amendment was negatived by a majority of 30. The Standard says that several of the Ministers, believing it hopeless to attempt to pass the Bill this session, are advising the Premier to postpone it, pending the passiog of some of the other measures on fihe Government programme.
MAHOMET SAID:— "Tne ink of the wise is worth more than the blood of martyrs." Perhaps all do not agree with this; bub everyone acknowledges that Cbeas-'s A 1. Coffbk when once tried is always used.
