LONDON. Saturday, Oct 8, 1880.
Tbo,cb there are conflicting reports respect
ing the reception of the English proposals
Of starving Turkey into SUBMISSION ana VI
sezinr islands in the Egean Sea- it Is clear the Pow
ers have approved the principle involved. All may
not oin in the proposed coercion, and some may ac'
as the maudatores of Europe-England' Russia anu
Itay. for instance The Sultans note indicates s''n
contempt for the Powers and shows snch suio'u"'
snirt that the Porte is gradually losing all lts od
svupatbzers. The attempts this week to ronse pun
lie feeling by meetings against Mr.. Gladstones poi-
icy were miserable failures, and the Jihgo Journ''
are gradually desertIng the Porte The standard is
in fact, becoming thoroughly Ministerial on many
Subjects The Conservatives are alarmed al the ioss
of spcb an imporant ally. but look for consolation
70 the turn-coat telegraph, which is stepping into
The Standards place as the leading Tory
organ. Some strength and eclat are impaired
TO the new departure of The Telegraph py
the building of new offices whose magnihcenee
gives joy TO the Tory hearts
THE IRISH TROUBLES INCREASING
The antagonism between the landlords and the
Irish Land League increases The deputation OF
more than hundred landlords that called on the
Viceroy to urge cOercive measures is doomed s'gnn
cant. and many believe that the Government regard
il a. justification for imposing repressve legisla-
tion The landlords complaints are expected to
result in greater violence and tumult, which Will
afford further warrant for fresh legislation know
that little is required to induce the Government TO
call special session of Parliament to discuss the
affairs of Ireland The chief obstacle is not the
attitude of the Irish, but the Eastern question III
Mr.. Gladstoue's plans in regard to the latter go
smoothly he will not hesitate to summon Parlia-
ment but if the Eastern project fares badly Mr'
Gladstone will not to expose the failure OF his
policy to such criticism would if Parliament
were summoned to discuss Irish questions Many
members are IN town, the expectation OF winter
session increases.
pARHELL TO REVISIT AMERICA.
MI Parnen talks of another tour to the United
States to replenish his exchcquer for agitation.
He wants TO start League newspaper. If the land
lords perform their threats to refuse TO discharge
their public duties and to arm men on whom they
can rely, the Irish chaos viii rapidly increase
and the Government be compelled to interfere.
There is noteworthy increase in the number of the
Irish priesthood who are awakening to the teachings
of the Land League In Cloyne the Bishop, the
Archdeacon and 100 of the clergy rejected the plan
of the League for getting rid OF all landlords.
SIR BAETLE TRERE HOME AGAIN
Sir Barte Frere's return occasioned what was
really a political demonstration. Not single
morning paper sand word IN defence of his policy.
The condemnation of The Standard, which shows
the zeal of new convert is the most severe Frere
is now staying with the Prince of Wales in Aber
&c die He is adapted for official duties, but is in
no sense a politician. Mr.. Gladstone may show
magnanimity by replacing him at the India Council
in place of Mr Merewther. who died recently.
ANXIETY ABOUT CANDAHAR.
The withdrawal of the best troops from Candahar
is condemned in Auglo-Indiau circles. Great dis
trust is expressed as TO General Phayres capacity
to command in South Afghanistan.
DISPENSING WITH MALT.
THE English farmers are hit again, being threat
ened with less gains from the abolition of the malt
tax. At the brewers exhibition good popular
beer was shown, which had been brewed
from maize and rice. Some newspapers
suggest the probability of American maze sup
planting English barley.
CORRUPT PRACTICES DISCLOSED.
The corruption disclosed by election Inquiries
shows how little the ballot prevents bribery. The
Tory party are organizing actively Parliamentary
movement to prevent the renewal of the Ballot act.
Some newspapers demand severe punishment for
rich persons guilty of bribery.
coURTEsIEs AT A CHURCH CONGRESS.
1t should not be supposed that the gushing con-
duct of thirty-two Nonconformsts who have pre-
sented an address at the Leicester Church Congress-
recountine the beneht Nonconformity has derived
from the eloquent preachers, seraphic doctors and
sanity examples OF the Church, has more signiii-
cance than as an act of local courtesy. The
svord of dissent against the Church is not
sbeathed The Liberation Society is preparing for
winter campaign.
THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGRESS-
The Social Science Congress is duller than ever
The Women's Rights party set up remarkable
claims. Everybody is agreed that married women
should own their own property. but there is not
much unanimity about Mrs. Duncan Maclarens
claim that wives should have exclusive Gus ody
Of their children. The demand that husbands
shall maintain children and give up all right TO
them is new to English ears.
THE LORD MAYOR ELECT
Mr. Macarthur. the Lord Mayor elect OF Lon
don, viii be the first Wesleyan TO hold that
oihce. 1t is notable that the Wesleyans will hold
