[6] 'That this House, having been informed in her Majesty's gracious Speech that the conditions on which her Majesty's neutrality is founded have not been infringed by either belligerent engaged in the war in the East of Europe, and having since received no information sufficient to justify a departure from the policy of neutrality and peace, sees no reason for adding to the burdens of the people by voting unnecessary supplies.' [7] 'Elijah's Mantle,' Fortnightly Review , May, 1883. [8] I have been greatly assisted in this chapter by the excellent accounts of the Fourth Party proceedings contributed by Mr. Harold Gorst to the Nineteenth Century from November 1902 to January 1903. In relating some incidents, notably on pages 153 and 161, I have by his permission used his actual words. [9] Life of Parnell , R. Barry O'Brien, vol. i. 247. [10] Cf. Mr. Forster's 'village ruffians.' [11] Men, Mines, and Animals in South Africa , p. 23. [12] Abridged. [13] Mr. Gladstone. [14] Mr. Chamberlain.

Gorst. [26] Now Sir Charles Darling. [27] Appendix IV . See especially his description of the tiger hunt. [28] January 17, 1885. [29] A note upon this chapter by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. [30] August. [31] This was public-spirited. (See page 440.) [32] House of Lords, May 3, 1888. Hansard , 325, 1179. [33] Issued November 21, 1880. [34] See Lord Randolph's Letters from India, Appendix. [35] 'Ireland's Eye.' [36] Lord Ashbourne. [37] Our Very Good Lord: Ex-Chancellor Ball. [38] Times. [40] This appears to have been an outside estimate. (See p. 490.) [41] Sir John Gorst's eldest son, now Sir Eldon Gorst. [42] The italics are mine.—W. S. C. [43] Mr. Smith to the Duke of Cambridge, October 9, 1885. [44] Official memorandum. [45] Colonel Burnaby was killed in action at Abu Klea, January 18, 1885. [46] This was written ten days ago. Its contents are not much affected by recent events.—R. H. S. C. [47] [47] The Memorandum and Lord Randolph's footnote are both undated, but Lord Salisbury's reply on the 9th shows that he had waited some days before replying. I conclude therefore that November 26 or 27 would be the latest date at which this document was written. [48] Mr. Labouchere, who has checked and confirms this account of the conversation, remarks: 'As a matter of fact, Lord Randolph Churchill had asked me some time before to tell Mr. Gladstone that he would urge Ulster to resist by arms Home Rule, which I had done, and he now begged me to repeat to him his declaration of war.' [49] Life of Gladstone , vol. iii. p. 270. [50] Lost. The passage ultimately adopted reads as follows:— 'The social no less than the material condition of that country engages my anxious attention. Although there has been during the last year no marked increase of serious crime, there is in many places a concerted resistance to the enforcement of legal obligations, and I regret that the practice of organised intimidation continues to exist. I have caused every exertion to be used for the detection and punishment of these crimes, and no effort will be spared on the part of my Government to protect my Irish subjects in the exercise of their legal rights and the enjoyment of individual liberty. If, as my information leads me to apprehend, the existing provisions of the law should prove to be inadequate to cope with these growing evils, I look with confidence to your willingness to invest my Government with all necessary powers.' [51] This was accompanied by the promise of a Bill dealing with the Land Question, pursuing in a more extensive sense the policy indicated by the Land Purchase Act in 1885. [52] At the Colonial Office, February 15, 1898 (O'Brien's Life of Parnell , chap. xix. vol. ii.).
[55] Wrongly stated in the Annual Register of 1886 as the Board of Trade. [56] An expression quoted from Mr. Gladstone. [57] 'Lord Randolph as an Official,' Nineteenth Century , October 1896, by the Right Hon. Sir Algernon West, K.C.B.
[59] The exact figure is 291,666 l. 13 s. 6 d. , but some reduction would probably occur in practice. [60] Lord Ashbourne. [61] Viscount Curzon, M.P. for South Buckinghamshire. [62] Viscount Curzon, February 21. Hansard , 311, 179. [63] Secretary to the Treasury. [64] Times , April 20, 1887. [65] See his letter to Mr. Arnold White, p. 459.
