Government remains on the verge of dis
ruption. The Radicals in the Cabinet insist
there exists in Ireland to-day nc reason, and
no prospect Of any reason, for a renewal of
the Crimes ACT in any form. There is also
difference regarding the programme for
the coming election. Cham berlain, Dixie,
TreVelyan and Shaw Lefevre insist on a
radical platform, These gentlemen agree
that the principal planks in the Liberal
platform should be-frst, reform in the
constitution Of the House of Lords by re-
ducing the number Of hereditary peers and
increasing the number Of life titles; second,
reform Of the law of entail, which will
work toward division rather than concen-
tration of land titles; third, general reform
in the land laws OF Great Britain, to the end
that the number of holdings in fee may be
increased and titles to land be more easily
obtained; fourth, for Ireland the widest pos
sibls measures of sslf-government consistent
with the unity of the British Empire; fifth,
public denominational education on the
principles accepted by the Irish party. The
Wing faction in the Cabinet refuse stead
tasty to adopt any of these five principles in
the platform Of the Liberal party for the
coming campaign. Hence, the party will
enter the campaign weak from lack of CO.
hesion. On this account it is probable
Gladstone will be induced to remain in
political po Her for the purpose of personally
D. conducting the campaign for his party, az
the Liberals have no other man competent
} FOR the task.
