upon the friendly relations existing with

of "her" Indian empire she proposes to

English politics, now that parliament
has adjourned, will subside into a quiet
state until the fall elections. The London
Times Expresses the belief that the de.
ciston whether Gladstone Is to retain the
liberal leadership In the coming cam.
palgn depends on the result of hisjourney
to Norway, in hopes of recuperatlng his
health. He Is afflicted with throat dis
eage, but 1t il expected that he will be
able to speak in public within a few
weeks. There ~certninly has been a re
a,tion In favor of Gladstone, and his re-
turn to power would not BIO a matter of
any great surprise. The tories are not
by any means harmonious, and they are
already quarrelliug over their recent
victory. Lord Randolph Churchill IL
more than tho old-fashioned torieJ of the
Standard can stomach, and certainly his
airs of owning the party, and putting
under it's ban anyone who does not give
support to all his measures, ara moro
than Englishmen of any way of thinking
are likely to endure. Thus, after con.
senting to address a great meeting at
Liverpool In the Interest of the two tory
members for that city, he announced
that he would not 60, since those
members did not support him In regard
to the Irish question and the medical re-
lief bill. A little thought might have
shown him that the members for Liver
pool, If they supported the new plan of
concillatirg Ireland, must expect to lose
their seats. Liverpool Ia the most
Orange constituency In the British
ISLANDS. The main strength In the tory
party there is In the passionate dislike of
Irish Catholics which characterizes the
msjorlty of the voters. In such circum-
stances 1t Is usual for a party leader to
allow some margin of private judgment
to his followers. Lord Randolph
Churchill has not the making of such a
leader in him, just because he has not an
Idea of tolerating any ones opinion but
his own. And on this point he is taking
the most dangerous course possible for
his permanency In the leadership of his
party.
II there is one thing in the programme
of the new ministry that is causing
"great searching of heart" to the old
fashioned tories, 1t is Its Irish policy.
That policy will have hard work enough
to pull through on Its merits without It's
being burdened with all Lord Randolph
C~hurchill's tempers.
The tories say that Mr.. Gladstone
never should have gone into Egypt. But
they also say that aimee he did go, the
English must now stay there. Practi-
cslly they ara annexipg Egypt to the
British Empire, and this annex
