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.'

[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.'

[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.

1898 (O'Brien's Life of Parnell, chap. xix. vol. ii.).

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
