London, Sopt. 22.—Mr. Gladstone, in reply to a request for tai's vlotvs us to. tho proper method of dealing with the house of lords, declines to t\xpross un opinion upon tjio subject becuuso of his retirement for tlio leadership ot Uls parly. At about die sumo time, lion- over, tho ox-premler lias thrown u bomb shell Into tbo midst of the strong- est group of his followers by address ing a letter to tho Bishop of Chester against local option. Iu this letter Sir. Gl-.idstoue.rteclares; that If local option protouds to bo a remedy for the evils of drinking, it Is little hotter Allan an imposture. Tho principle ot tho GotUcuhjii'g system be maintains to bo the only one permis sible or at all tenable, and to tho grent amazement of both the Gltulstouinns and the Conservatives, adds that for lung years lie has been strongly of tills opinion. The temperance party In Groat Britain has been highly scandal ized by this declaration mul their or- guns recall Iho foot that when Glad stone last came into power It was largely owing to Ills having repeatedly pledged himself to secure tho passage of a local option measure. Consequent ly during li.s Incumbency ot tlio pre miership lie approval the bill, and did u«t say a word In rerfereuco to tlio Gothenburg system. Since Glndstouh’s retirement Sir William llaroourr, Who is Uls successor in tao leadership of tho party, lias renewed tlio pledges made absolutely and unqunllllodly com mitting tlio government to tho Intro duction of a local option lull before tho dissolution of parliament. Ill tlie ooursc of bis letter to Ihe Bisli of of Charter, Mr. Gladstone says: "I am glad to see that Mr. Chamberlain actively supports ;lio Gothenburg rjs- tern." Sir Wilfred Lawson, M. F., president of the United Kingdom Alliance for tho suppression of tho liquor inillle, protesting ugtinst llio cliango of front, says that If vho Liberals now depart from tlie recognized principles of their party mul stuiutlou oven inodomto drinking Under tlie Gothenburg system, It Will be the heaviest blow over dealt to the toiupemuco cause In Great Brit ain. HIh party, bo declares, will ro- fuso to accept any compromise. It seems certain ithat tho last and moot astounding Glndstonlan -develop ment Is yet to be -witnessed. This re mark refers 4o a rumor that has been pot In circulation itlint Mr. Gladstone has,been advising.

The manifesto says In pfrt: "We differ fundamentally with the dreumy Ideas advanced. The congress Imre ceased to rcpriyient the union-* and has become a gathering of advanced Socialists, who. -were their Ideas to pre vail, would -pfovo a curse to labor, and whoso methods would ultimately result ln restricted treedom and dlminised. re sources. Frogrc:,* would be arrested and in a short lltne the working classes would bo placed In a condition ot ab ject dependence upon the state. Col- leutlvetsm can never -take the place of indlvduallsm.
