MR.. BRIGHT AND GENERAL POLITICS.
IBY CABLE TO TRIBUNE
Ioxnos. June 16-The tribute to Mr. Bright
which has occupied Birmingham the whole week,
oecupied all England also. The proceedings and
speeches were reported in full in every important
paper in the kingdom, accompanied daily by dis
cussons and expressions of homage and admiration
in various quarters altogether surpassng anything
in recent times everybody agreeing that but one
other man is capable of fevokng similar enthusiasm
Mr., Brghts speeches throughout. though pene-
trated with gratitude for the affection shown him'
have dealt with controverted subjects In his old
aggressive manner. HIS prediction OF the speedy
advent of free trade in America finds few believers
here. Yesterdays address on the Suez Canal and
the Channel Tunnel elicits regretful comment
from many of his warmest friends and is
undoubtedly opposed to the convictions OF
n great majority of Englishmen, who are
amazed to see Mr.. Bright represent the demand Oh
the largest ship owners for new canal either as
speculative OF as hostile TO France and still more
amazed by the rldicule and nvectve heaped on the
opponents of the Channel Tunnel, including nearly
every eminent living Englishman. The speech In
which he carried the Liberals most heartily with
him was that in which he denounced the alliance
between the Tories and the Irish rebels for obstruct-
ing the business of the House of Commons.
POLITICAL EPISODES.
Mr. Chamberlain adroitly used the occasion off the
great meeting at Bingey Hall to formulate the new
Liberal programme He is the first among the
Liberal Ministers distinctly to demand universal
suffrage with equal electoral districts. The Con-
servatives respond both to Mr.. Bright and to Mr..
Chamberlain with shrieks of angry dismay
The dull routine of obstructive debate both
in the House and in the Grand Com
mIttees has continued during the week, Mr..
Parne actively and vsxatiousy resisting the Grim
nal Code bill in committee and the Corrupt Prac-
tees bill in the House.
The two most interesting events of the week in
the Commons have been the Tory attack on the Min
istry for allowing Suleimar and Sami to be hanged
in Egypt, and Lord George Hamltons proposal for
creating a peasant proprietary in Ireland. The
former failed, though Sir Stafford Northcote and
Lord Randolph Churchill joined hands in an at
tempt to discredit the Government with the usual
support from sundry Radical peacemongers LoId |
xvfl1 hat Mr.
Gladstone was responsible for foul judicial muir
der, was charge supported by no facts. 1t was re-
ceived by the House with laughter aud was an |
swered by Mr.. Gladstone in bantering speech. |
The charges against the Khedive understood to
be based on statements supplied by Wilfrid Blunt.
The Khedive's reply is regarded here dignifed |
and complete.
IRISH AFFAIRS.
Lord George Hamiltons proposal IS elaborate. in-
genious and probably impracticable, but being
brought forward with the approval of the COnserv-
ative leaders, pledges the Tory party to attempt
some scheme 1t has induced Mr. Gladstone to ac-
ceps not the scheme but resolution looking to the
future amendment of the purchase clauses OF the
Land act.
Mr. Healy is apparently endeavoring TO provoke
re-arrest. His speech at Bandon is one OF amazing
violence declaring. for example, that Lord Spencer
having had his stomach full of hanging in Dublin,
is about 10 take his departure for foreign parts
meaning England. This revives foolish story OF
Lord spencers intended resignation that is wholly
unfounded.
GREAT DEBATE IN THE LORDS.
The Deceased Wfe's Sister bill In the House
OF Lords Oh Monday called out the largest
known vote in recent times The passage of the
clever and energetic management. 1t has been fol-
lowed by an explosion of clerical fury in the Church
papers, which are goomily foreboding social dis
orders of the worst kind. The collection of some
very effective American testimony provoked abitter
attack on America by Lord Cairns. who even holds
tho United states responsible for poygamy in
Utah.
AMERICAN OPINION on DYNAMITE TRIALS.
The comments of the American papers on the re-
suit of the dynamite trials telegraphed here, are
extremely we'll received. expressing, as Enelishmen
think, views identical with those entertained by
the civilized world. The Re'alPs complaint about
G trial by newspapers and public opinion is
eariously wide of the mark. The case attracted
singularly little interest with the general public
which has been cngrossed this week with other sub
jects To say that the dynamite conspirators were
convicted hastily and iimsy testimony is 10 say
three of the ablest Judges in England. While the
