LONDON, Aug. l5.-Everything points to political
struggle here in November quite as exciting as that
which is likely 10 occur in the United States. 1t is
similarly presidential contest the first thing in
volyed being substantially whether Disraeh OF
Gladstone shall be President of England. The i'm
porance Of the contest to the Conservatives is quite
a. great rs that in America TO the Democrats il be-
lug very doubtful whether, il defeated, the Tory
party can ever hope for power again in their present
organization. IL was by proving TO them that their
last hope of gaining power again depended upon
their passing a radical Reform bill that Disraeh
brought the Tory party to the anomalous position
which it occupied in the last Parliament and he
now feels that be must Win or bear the reprOach OF
having led them to play their highest trump and lose
the tlick too. SO he and his friends are moving
heaven earth and the other ce-particularly the
other pace-to defeat Gladstone and the Liberals.

Murphy was recently sent 10 prison. The people are

All these appeals show how shrewdly the Tory
leader has detected the vulnerable heel of the
Achilles with whom he struggles. There would be
no hope whatever for him were IT not for the fact

charges Of which the above are INSCRIPTIONS paTti-

Of religious or educational equality for dIssenters,
and he certainly was ahsurdly deferental when in

that his attack on the Irish Church is genuine
dow ior religious equality, and Is altogether IN ad-
vance OF anything Gladstone has vet done, Ihls IS
shown by the bOldneSs with which he has been viii

The distinguished Methodist minister Thomas Jack

mented on by the daily press, declaring that the
Enghsh Church must purge itself Of its double dis
ease OF Popery and skepticsm before the Methodsts
could thlnk OF an alliance. This sentiment has been
echoed by the Conference now in session The Evan

the plan will be cOnsummated without Zach modif-
