Bcaconsticld's policy while brilliant
has been very dangerous. Success
alone justified it. Should the Con-
scrvativcs be beaten, Gladstone will
again grasp the rcins of government,
and Bcaconslicld will be lost. 1t is n

at present so largely in the majority
that the Liberals can scarcely hope to
overthrow them, though they may

The British Parliament has been
dissolved, and a new election ordered
for April. The dissolution is Il COM
plete surprise to the country, and tho
Liberals who oppose the administra-
ton of Beaconsileld were utterly un-
prepared for it. The canvass has al
ready begun. Gladstone, the leader
Of the Liberals and thorn in old

ring proclamation to his constituents
IN Edinburgh and Midlothian, while
the conservatives have blown q coun-
ter blast. Lord BcaconsGcld makes
the issue on Home Rule III Ireland.
Home Rulc IN Ireland is as obnoxious
to tho average Englishman as States

Is to tho stalwart Yankee, and Glad
stone accuses his opponent of raising
this false issue in order to revive sec.
tional strife and bitterness between
England and Ireland. He sayapelv

Terror Stricken by the Attempted Assassi-

The young Queen of Spain had well

attacked by the rcgicide Otero; but it
appears that the recent attempt on tho
life OF the Gar caused her great emo

which makes sller constantly apprc-
hensive of danger. The King and his
sisters do all that is in their power to
amusc Queen Christine, and she very
often drives out in open carriage with
her husband or the infantas. 1t seems,
however, .that she is always nervous
when driving in the streets with King
Alfonso, so much so that one day she
nearly fainted at the door of Atocha
Cathedral, wien an old man rushed
up to the carriage and gave the King
petition. The medical men ut tho
palace have advised Her Majesty to
spend few weeks in Araiguez or in
Andalusia this spring. The Court
gossip says that Her Majesty is in an
interesting position that makes it
necessary to shake off this mental do

AN AMUSING Fight Is PROGRESSING
III theatrical circles. When pinaforc
was played in America without Weld
ing any profit to Messrs. Gilbert and
Sullivan, these gentlemen resolved to
come to America themselves and Sill
pcrintcnd the bringing out Of the
"lirates Of PcnZancc." AS there is
no international copyright they rcius
cd to have the piece published, and
thus, as they thought, retained the sole
right in it. Managers were compelled
to pay them handsomely for the right
to use it. But Manager Stctson, of
Boston, provoked by the refusal of the
authors to give him sole right to tho
piece, went to work and copyrighted
it at the librarians Office in Washing
ton in his own name. It is said that
under the laws any one can send the
title Ola work and have it copyrighted,
and then have month to file the work
himself. AS there is no official
knowledge Of any such play in Wash
ington, Stetson sends the title on, and
for month no one can produce any
play with this title. In the meantime
Stetson will have completed his en-
gagcmcnt III Boston. Gilbert and
Sullivan are naturally much incenscd
as there are thousands Of dollars in Il,
and they will have recourse to the
courts. This is striking instance of
the inadequncy Of the copyright law
to protect foreigners.

OH tho Sand Lot Agltntors.
The sentence passed on Kcarney for
the use Of scditious and profanc lain
guagc has already been mentioned.
Kcarncy had so long indulgcd in bias
phcmy and threats tha. he was thun-
dcrstruck when confronted with the
law. The police Judge and the city
attorney were both OH his ticket, and
both were formerly friends, and the
zeal of the latter in. prosecuting and of
the former in sentencing is an evil
dcncc of the fear inspired by the
mysterious committee Of safety. A
correspondent writes of the condition
Of affairs in that city on the day
kcarncy was arrested: He SAYS:
The day Of Judgment has assurcdly
come, and the only thing tho agitators
should think Of now is how to get out
OF tic country. They can't too Early
occupy their minds with that consii-

his election so expected, but he has
made fatal mistake and soon he will

IN the city agree that his language at
various times has been calculated to
incitc riot and inccnlliarism. The
Board OF Supervisors are unanimous
in the conclusion to impcach him. His
trial will follow swiftly, and with
such evidence against him, lie will
doubtless be disposed Of. Other oni-
cials alluded to in an interview this
morning will be taken up in turn and
when convicted will have to take the
