No English statesman before Mr.Gladstone (it is urged) has offered to Ireland the one thing which Ireland desires--the boon or right of parliamentary independence.

Be the desire for Home Rule reasonable or not, it is Home Rule for which Ireland longs.

Ireland feels herself a nation.

Satisfy then Ireland's wish, meet the feeling of nationality, and Ireland will be at rest.

This experiment must at least be tried; its perils must be risked.
