! zLondon, 24.-The small attendance in
the House cf Commons has been the
secondary outcome of the land bill de-
bates and demonstrates the timidity of
| wings, who break away from the liberal
| party, which notwithstanding continues
the advance of liberal leaders on radical
| lines. The next feature has been break
up of the Irish party. The land bill has
| acted as solvent for the go called natural
party. All but Psrnells immediate fol-
lowers have returned to their natural
allegiance, the liberal party. Land lea
guers funds are considered the chief
cause Of Parnellite adhesion. It is too
soon to anticipate wherein the House of
Lords will seek to amend the bill, but It
is regarded rs certain that they will do
nothing to jeOpardize the bill owing to
the ex entiction Of the opposition which
was revived and encouraged by the Duke
Of Argyle's speech. The bill will reach
the House of Lords soon. The heavy
majorities with which the government
Carried the principle clauses will restrict
the Lords proposal. The fair trade, not
free trade. reciprocity cry was energetic
ally challenged yesterday by the Golden
cub committee who recognize the dan
ger of cpntiaued reciprocity agitation in
the conservative newspapers. They
doubt whether country with such edu-
cation and independence as the q nited
States can long continue without modii-
cations Of tariff which retsrds the ad-
vsncement of International commerce.
The committee exsggerste the demands
of the tory press. The latter does not
advocate protection, but fair trade which
consists in making the best terms with
foreign countries irrespective of the prln-
ciples ard theories Of free trade. II not
for the attitude of such men as Stafford
Nortbcoate, VIM. Il. Smith AID Mr..
Gross, reciprocity would soon become
plank of the conservative platform. Eff
forts are being made TO secure
that result. Lord Salisbury is
believed to offer no Encouragement.
The decision against Bradlsugh is an
other step in the prolonged litigation,
and does not affect the pending appeals.
Bradlsugh's aim is to stsve off the final
issue Of the judgment. Many liberal
members who voted for Bradlaugh re-
fuse to support his agitation, and con
denim his tactics. If he claims his seat
forcibly he will not be honored with COM

AS disLurber Of the peace. Lawyers
consider Newdigste has rendered himself
liable to fue and imprisonment by fnd-
ing funds to prosecute Bradlaugh, who
tn eatens to prosecute him.
The French position in North Africa
grows worse. The suppression OF the
Arab revolts is greater task than was
anticipated, and the TunIstan troops can
not be trusted. The present difficulties
are likely to prevent further aggression.
If France goes further serious cempica-
tioDs will ensue. The English govern
mant warns France that Tripod stands in
q different position than Tunis, aud that
French intervention in Tripoi would
lead to immediate action on the part of
the co-signatories to the Berlin treaty,
which guaranteed the integrity of the !
Ottoman empire. This action OF Lord |
Granville, explains the bitterness OF the |
French press towards England There |
is now little fear here of French impu-
dence. The English are beginning to |
understand the French enterprise in |
Tunis, as o desire to sho v thst the repub- |
lie no mora than the empire Is devoi id of !
military spirit. The French govern |
ment is undoubtedly Influenced by
a desire to beat the Bonapartists at the |
coming elections.
