fall, and the Parnellites, who accom-
plished his overthrow, are apparently
going to encounter the hardest times
they ever had. The Marquis of Sails
bury, everybody begins to see, lacks
self-confidence. He has been bold, but
never far-sighted as leader of the OBJ
position, but the very moment the
Gladstone ministry resigned, the Mar
quis of Salisbury became supplicant
| for public help, and vowed he would
not take power unless the Liberals gave
his government a show" Gladstone
never asked a ''show" from anybody
The queen could not conceal her salts
faction over the change in poll
tics. She never liked Gladstone He
was too superior to etiquette, could not
fatter, and was impartial as a state
servant to the throne. Her majesty
was so pleased over the prospect
of again having Tory and an aristoorat
at the head of affairs that she
telegraphed her acceptance of Glad
stones resignation. and by wire sum-
moned the Marquis of Salisbury to
Balmoral to assume the trust of forming
new government. 1t is understood
that the Marquis of Salisbury will
refrain from the work of forming new
Cabinet until he has held conferences
with all the Conservative leaders.
Singular as it may appear to foreign
ers, the chief political interest of Brit
ons does not seem to be in the constitu-
ton of a new ministry, but principally
in the foreign policy, and, secondly, in
the Irish policy of the Conservative
| government -
Parnelll certainly must have the
measure of his ambition nearly filled,
when he has succeeded in making the
affairs of Ireland the most important
subject of British interest after English
foreign affairs.

lifted into power by Irish help, would at
once "Parnellize" the government, but
the Tories, having recovered from their
first excitement, appeared to attribute
Gladstone's defeat not to his harshness
toward Ireland but to the loss of Liberal
votes driven from him by disgust at
:. his submission to Irish BULLDOG.

vote lis tar larger than the home-rule

are wise in their day and generation.
They are playing for the larger vote,
ana the Irish are seemingly going to get
cleft. "
The Conservative party is largely con-
trolled by the prevalent opinion of the
Tory clubs. All favor the theory advo-
Gated by Earl Spencer, the Irish Vice,
ROY, that there is an absolute necessity
for continuance of the coercion policy
in Ireland. On this point, the Tories
and majority of the Liberals will
agree, and on it they may combine
against the Radicals and Parnellites. Ii
thew do, the home-rulers will be in such
d pitiable minority, that their voice will
count for nothing in Parliament, and
a long lease of life may be secured to
the present mode of English rule in
Ireland. Z iAf7 -

! bury will seek assistance from any OF
the Gladstone ministers in forming bis
policy toward the ireland. His plan
will be to split the Liberal party COM
pletely by proposing measure OF
coercion based on,Earl Spencer reports
a measure the same as the Marquis 'of
Harrington, Gladstone's war minister,
and majority of Gladstone's Cabinet,
insisted on continuing in spite OF the
opposition of Sir Charles Dixie, Mr..
4 Joseph Chamberlain, and Mr.. Trevel-
: van. Such line of Irish policy would
be almost certain to lead at least to a
temporary coalition between the mod
crate Liberals and Tories against the
Radicals and Parnellites and give the
/ new government tremendous majority.
I The Earl of Derby, Colonial Minister
in the Cabinet of Gladstone, in an OH
cial communication to the government
of Cape Colony, has intimated his ap-
nroyaI of the action of General Sill
Charles Warren, in the annexation oil
: Bechuanaland. This expansion of the
Cane Colony excites interestin England
subordinate only to the resignation OF
the Gladstone Cabinet, and this interest
is made even greater by the glowing de
scriptions being published of the capa-
CITY and possibilities of the new terri
tory. The London Times, in an article
describing Bechuanaland, says: "ln ter

thousands of farms for settlers.
The Spectator, alarmed, apparently, al
the possible outcome of this annexa-
ton of territory, comments at some
length upon the subject, and says: I'm
