DIVISION IN the Cabinet over the NevivaI oi
the Irish Crimes Act.
LONDON May 16--The quarrel in the Cabinet
over the advisabilty of reviving the Irish crimes
act came TO a head this evening. A minority OF
the Minister'S headed by the Right Honorable
Joseph Chamberlain, President of the
Board of Trade advocated the aban-
donment of the act This minority was
finally overborne and the government
have decided to propose renewal for two
years of the act in modified FORM The Par
nellites are this evening indignant at the gov
ernment for this decision They have privately
warned the Ministers that the effect of any
greatly mitigated form, will be the
throwing of the influence Of the Home
rule vote in the English constituencies with the
opposition. Ministerial arrangements have been
made to bring the present parliamentary ses-
sion to close by the middle of the coming July at
thefurthest In all likelihood this intention will be-
thwarted by the determination of Mr.. Parnells
followers to resist the renewal of the act. Mr..
Parnel! is master of parliamentary tactics, and
if the renewal of the bill be Objectionable
to his party, there can be no doubt that he will
so obstruct its passage as to prolong the session
uncomfortably
There is another cause Of arrangement be-
tween the Parnellites and the ministerialists,
and this is the interference of the government,
through Mr.. Errington, the special British
agent at the Vatican, in the appointment of a
Catholic archbishop for the diocese of Dublin, to
succeed thu late Cardinal McCabe. The Home
Rulers desire Dr. Walsh, of Maynooth College
He is eminertly worthy to succeed the late car
dinal in the principal zee in Ireland and, besides
has the national sympathies. Besides, the
Catholic Clerical Conclave. which met
in Dublin to select nominees for the
place, elected Dr. Walsh as first choice Of three
candidates. The United Ireland, the organ of
Mr.. Parnell, who is himself an Episcopalian,
speaks wthsthe voice of the whole Irish party
when it laments the success Errington has
achieved with the Holy Father, and says that
rejection by the Vatican, through Mr.. Erring
toms influence, of DR.. Walsh's name, and
the substitution of that Of DR.. Moran,
is blow struck at the independence of the Irish
epscopacy and of Irish clerical rights 'The
prayers and longings of the Irish preates priests
and people seem" says United Ireland, ''unavail-
ing at Rome against the secret machinery of the
English government"
Mr. Gladstones promises to give Ireland GER
tain schemes for the extension of local self-gov.
ernment, and to facilitate land purchases in
Ireland, have failed to soften Irish opposition to
his policy concerning the Irish crimes act
They will accept nothing short of an abandon
ment of the whole crimes bill
The approach of the general election cam
paign is bringing forward an unexpected polit;-
cal strength among the British workingmen.
The workingmen concentrating everywhere
upon labor candidates for parliamentary
seats. This is noticeable, particularly,
in many of the larger boroughs,
such for instance, as Glasgow, New Castle and
other centers of manufacturing industry. The
workmen in these places are actively engaged in
the work of raising subscriptions for the purpose
can hardly be q doubt that the reason
why there at present so few repre-
sentatves of the POOR in
the British Parliament lies in the fact that no
man without secure livelihood can afford to ac-
cept an unsalaried parliamentary seat, AMI few
labor constituencies afford to furnish salaries
by subscription. If members were salaried, like
American congressman, the House OF Commons
would soon be revolutionized in its charac-
ter Mr. Joseph Arch, the agricultural
laborers' candidate, has consented to contest the
constituency of West Norfolk, and is supported
in his determination by the Liberal leaders.
There is movement organized in parallel lines,
to raise a number of workmen to the magisterial
bench in Lancaster and Yorkshire, and several
members of the trades associations have already
been offered magisterial appointments
