The London correspondent oi the New
York Times, who is a ksen and close OBJ
server of current events in England,
makes pen picture of the new premier
that in view Of possible events Is OF very
great interest. he says thst up to GER
tain point there can be but little question
that the Marquis Of Salisbury is the
ablest man in British politics. No one
else can compare with him, for example,
in terseness, vigor, pointedness, and power
of political statement, especially if it be of
the critical kind. His mind is essentially
acute, clear, courageous, aud consecutive
in habit of action. In q word, he would
be the ideal Minister of sovereign who
was supreme in authority, and had no
neel to consider either ways and means
or the security of the throne-such a
sovereign, for example, as his great an
castor, Lord Burlejgh, served. But the
ether side Of Lord SalisbuTy's character
renders him just the kind OF Minister i'm
possible in country where tie sovereign
is a figurehead, and Demos is apgrily sus-
picious OF attempts to thwart popular
rule. He is intensely aristocrHtic by tenn
permanent and conviction; intoiersnt of all
things even remotely resembling radi-
calism, and profound disbelieTer in the
ability Of the people to govern themselves.
He regards Democracy as synonym for
infidelity he loathes dissenters, abomi-
mates demsgogues, and reveres the au-
thority of the Crown and the peers, tenn
poral and spiritual. In other words, he is
a medieval noble, of the best sort, stu
dious, grave, honorable, bigoted, princely,
a magnificent patron, an ugly antagonist
with equals, cruel and contemptuous ty-
rant over c0nceited interiors who dispute
his rigbtful authority" In other words,
he is a typical Tory of the old school, q re-
actionist who will, nevertheless, serve the
good purpose of emphasizing the differ
ence between the present and tho past,
and of thus fastening the day when all
that he holds dear under the British con-
stitution OF caste and privilege must dis
appear, including the lords, spiritual and
temporal.

OF ali the triumphs won by afr. Par

declared policy of the Salisbury 7 ny
Ministry TO govern Ireland by the exist

achievement Of which he can justly
be proud, and is hopeful sign that The
