opments to-day i'll the march of events rem
der il quite possible in the opinion of
many Liberals, that Mr. Gladstone, how
ever much he may be dsincined, will be

AN UNFORESEEN POLITICAL EPOCH.
LONDON June lSth.-Fresh developments
Of the plans OF the Conservatives within
the past twenly-iours have completely
revoiutionized the thoughts and feelings of
the public with regard to the wholesale re-
suits of GIadStone's retirement. 1t has pre-
cipitated an epoch in English politics COM
pletely Unforeseen, and given the lie to all
press and club gossip of the last fortnight.
The effects On English foreign relations,
which was given iirst place in all discus
sions over the change of Ministry, have
been thrown into the shade by the intense
interest which has been suddenly awakened
with regard TO the apparent prospective
ovegturnmg OF the relations OF the two
greet parties TO the country ana to each
ether. one OF the extraordinary effects is
seen by the ar>tpcracy admitting q strongly
radical element into ,heir conduct Of ma
tioual affairs and moving forward with the
march OF popular sentiment, Us diStin-
yuishcd from a persistent adherence to old
and honored ideas. Beside the personal
triumph of Lord Randolph Churchill, il
indicates q wholesale concession by the
Conservatives % the theories which they
steadily conhatted. This is the current Of
comment to-day, and politicians are specu-
lating on the effect of the new school of
Toryism which has been formed by the adj
mission Of Churchill 10 the Cabinet. 1t Is
said that the Democratic party, of which
he is the leader, will overthrow all the old
formulas and traditions of the Conservative
party and nau1urlte an entirely new era.
