question is again uppermost in British
politics. ParneIl has been cleverer thar
Gladstone, and has got Home Rule
to the front to the apparent disadvant
age of the Liberals. The ex-Premier
when he found his radical allies were
jeopardizing his canvass by the promi
hence they gave to the disestablishment
question, made overtures to the Parnell
ties for coalition. The Irish party had
been courted so well and eagerly by the
Conservatives, that the people had gen
orally concluded that an understanding
had been arranged between them; but
such, itnow transpires, was not the fact.
Parnell had secu=sd all the promises he
desired from the Tories. He used this
fact to induce the Liberals to offer him
the same pledges. He preferred to
trade with the Liberal leaders to trading
with those of the Conservative party
because the former were in much better
control of their party than were the
Tory chieftans; but Gladstone, for
reasons best known to himself,
decided to make the same pledges
which the Conservatives had made.
and offered a very evasive compromise.
PaTneil thereupOn decided to seal the
alliance with the Tories. He felt him
self master OF the situation. He calcu-
lates upon the certain possession of the
balance of power in the next session,
and feels sure of being able to COM
mand enough Radical votes upon most
of the questions relating to home rule.
which may GENE up to give his side of
the House power to pass all reasonable
measures relating TO Ireland. 1t was
these considerations which induced the
National League, to-day, to issue It's re-
markable campaign manifesto. The de-
cisiOn to issue It was arrived at In
special meeting held by Parnell and his
colleagues in Dublin. There were
present at this cOnclave all the
Irish Home Rule candidates who could
possibly attend. The call for the meet
ing stated that its object was to have a
final conference upon the plans for the
electoral work, with special view to
equipping those new candidates who
have not yet had any parliamentary ex-
perience. The meeting was not long In
deciding to reject the Overtures OF the
Liberals and to openly ally the Home
Rule party to the Tory organization.
Accordingly. the manifesto, the most
remarkable and straightforward ever
issued by the Parnellites, was uttered.
It's effect, according to Irish calcula-
tons, viii be to prevent Gladstone from
returning to power, by making 1t i'm
possible for the Liberals tO,gain requis-
tie majority of mem berS In the next
House OF Commons. The Con
serYaUives have declared that they
viii not resign the conduct of the

gain such a large majority in the next
House as to show an unmistakeable
wish for a change of Cabinet. While 1t
can be hardly doubted that Gladstone
Will win in the elections, most of the
well-informed English politicians believe
the present relations between the Home
Rulers and Tories will render it prac-
tically impossible for the Liberals to
succeed in obtaining the majority OF
members requisite to compel the Con-
5ervatives to abdicste.
The Dublin conference arranged to
circulate the Parnell mani
festo during the next fortnight, even to
the extent of distributing 1t at all the
church doorsthroughOut Ireland. II was
also arranged to have the county
stumped and to furnish
q plentiful supply of speakers where
ever meetings could be organized for
them. In addition, the conference
decided to transfer the headquarters of
