is skiliully feeling its way along. Even
Lord Randolph Churchill has become less
bold since his party has had the RESPONSE.
biHty OF the government thrust upon it.
The young orator has exhibited surprising
responsibility and has fadiciously held his
tongue. In view of the impatience Of all
Britons to know what tn policy of the new
government is to be, allshis is remarkable.
The only minister who has up to date pub
Ecly addressed his constituents is
Mr.. Arthur James Balfour,
Tory member of Psrlianent for Hartford
Borough, which he has represented since
1877. Mr.. Balfour is bat 81 years Of age
and is son.in-law Of the Marquis Of Sails
bury, whose private secretary eyoung man
has long been. The selection of Balfour for
the.important Office Of Chief Secretary for
Ireland must be looked upon as especially sig
nigcant, because he knows better perhaps,
than any other person theinner views of Lord
Salisbury upon the Irish question aud is the
only man who has ever been permitted by
the present power to speak for him. Hence
Mr.. Balfour's speech has attracted profound
attention. Before Salisbury's advent to
power he was the most persistent advocate
Of coercion in Ireland. The very crisis
which crowded his party into power found
him Engaged in opposing every tendency
toward liberalism in Ireland. RESPONSE
bility, however, has apparently
Tempered Salisbury's Views
on this important question and he evidently
shrinks from doing himself those things for
the abstinence from performance Of which
he castigated the Gladstone government
To use an Americanism Salisbury feels the
necessity of "letting the Tories down easy"
on the question and Ba'fonr is pushed for
ward as the chief instrument in the lower
ing process. The most striking uttersnces
in Mr.. Bslfour's address was the unquali-
fed declaration that he desires not less than
Mr.. Chamberlain to see Ireland governed by
equal laws with England and to see all ex-
ceptional legislation against the Irish peo
pie forever abolished"
The Radicals and Parnellites, who wor.
ried the Liberal Ministry out Of power, new
er stated their wishes on this subject more
tersely and fully. Notwithstanding this
bold statement Mr. Balfour has Just caused
to be published for general circulation
Brochure on the Irish Question,
In this the new Chief Secretary strongly
supports home rule for Ireland, but con-
tends that this home rule shall extend to
local interests only. His argument for
this is the tavorite one of To
ries, viz, that it is as necessary
for the general welfare Of Ireland itself as it
is for the strategic security of Great Britain
that in all national affairs the present state
OF dependence shall be maintained. An
other idea is elaborated in this brochure
namely, that il any new organization Of the
government of Ireland the rights of Irish
Torres such as the loyal men in Ulster
must be maintained. While it may be
said that these statements lack defniteness
still it must be admitted that they indicate
remarkable change Of attitude toward Ire,
land.
Egypts Finances.
The Cairo correspondent of the Cologne
Gazette referring to Egypts finances and to
the lean Of $35, 600, 900 recently guaranteed
by the powers to settle the debts of the
country states that sum will be found insult
cient by Sj,O00,8O0 English financial
houses interested in Egyptian monetary sf,
airs have been advised by their Cairo
agents that the loan will fall short Of the
necessaries Of the case by 81, 100000.
The Spirits of Conserv atives are Cheered

Sho are finding candidates throughout the

longing to Whig families Of great influence
These agents report that large sums Of
money are being readily subscribed to de-
fray conservative expenses in the campaign,
by gentlemen who have hitherto been strong
supporters OF the liberal party. All these
reports show strong feeling in country dis
tricts against weak foreign policy.
