Disrael tile Premier OF England, has issued to his
Parliamentary constituents III Bucklnghamshire an
address inviting them re-eect hin to the reformed
Parliament In manner, matter and the crcum-
stances which attend 1t this address very remark

You will observe that Mr.. Disrael has dated his
address at Downing street, which is the official resi-
dence OF the Prime Mnster-his ONCE, with suit OF
dwelling rooms attached But have the best rea-
sons for knowing that the address was not written
at Downing street. but at Balmoral Castle, where
Mr.. Dsrae has been residing for the past fortnight
Cabinet Minister In waiting on the Queen, and
from whence he has but Just returned. In point OF
fact Mr. Disraeli was not at Downing street on tho
lat OF October tie day that the address Ia dated.
He was on his way back from Balmorai, and the ad-
dress was not only written within the precincts OF
the royal CASTLE but actually read to the Queen
received her endorsement and is perfect expression
OF her views. This circumstance adds to It's Inn
portance.
You will notice that the address, down to the
words .This the natural current OF events, was to

informed you at the time that the Grafton OF Mr..
Disraeli just mentioned, was inspired by the Queen
herself and that the Premers agitation and unusual
awkwarness while delivering it arose from the fact
that he was speaking another PERSONS sentiments,
IN the truth OF which he had not yet fully to
believe. In London, however, Mr.. Dsraeli's agita-
ton was ascribed to very different cause. AT the
clubs and In several Of the London papers 1t was

Shocked as the English pretended to be by the

the fact remains that Mr. Disrae is now lighting tie
Queens battle rather than his own. Personally,
believe that he cares nothing for the Irish Church,
and would be In favor OF its destruction. His ante
cedents point that way. His character makes these
views probable. But the Queen has very different
can be very easily explained.
In the first place the Queen looks upon the dts
at the prerogaives and patronage Of the Crown and
she therefore resents 1t with true German obstnacy
and jealousy 50 little practical power remains In
Church patronage. In the second place, she con-
siders the disestablishment Of the Irish Church
lish Church, and, being thorough Protestant and
the head OF the English sect, she opposes dsestab
with spirit which she often ,1 to
outspoken the Queen is when she pleases to be,
and how simple are her likes and dislikes. In
OF MI Gladstone and Earl Russell does not care
to hold any intercourse with them, and Is repealed
by their manners as well by their principles. All
these things taken together make up pretty strong
basis for action especially when we remember that
the Queen Is q woman. Right or wrong, she has
these ideas and has acted upon them, and under her
direction and personal encouragement and sym
patty Mr. Dsraeli Is fighting that battle for the
Irish Church which all OF US hope he NAV lose, no
matter how much we may admire him aside from
his politics.
Unquestionably his address, which is In truth q
manifesto, Will have its effect upon the English
voters. In foreign affairs, I'm the Abyssinlan exped
ton, in army and navy reforms, in the suppression
OF FenanisIn, the conservative administration has
deserved well OF the country. The arguments against
the measure disestablishing the Irish Church are
able, although to us they seem sophistica Behind
all the other evils Mr.. Dlsraeli threatens England
with the Pope of Rome, and the Pope has uncon.
Eciousy aided the effect Of mis- words by the recent
circular asking all Protestant denominations to send
delegates to the Ecumencal Council. Most English
men are afraid OF the Pope-that foreign prince"
as Mr.. Disraeli calls him--but whether that fear will
induce them to vote with the tories Is open ques-
