insxtricabIY Mixed Up In Great
Britain.
Every Clergyman a Partisan PoIi-

The Eastern Question No Nearer
Solution.
Editor Stead and Mrs. Jarrett
Found Guilty.

LONDON, November The Irish ques-
ton has for the moment given wsy 10 the
religious question in I,ish politics. Mr..
Parnell is permitted to go on arranging his
campaign and nominating his candidates
in Ireland about as he pleases. The contro-
versy has become exceedingly bitter. 1t
has been described as the combat of the
Established Church fighting for lite
against the dissenters struggling to destroy
the State monopoly Of religion" Every
body in Great Britain has become deeply
interested in the contest, and it is thought
that the result Of the elections will hinge
entirely on the church question alone.
ISSUES.
At the opening Of the contest the leaders
on both sides seemed as if they thought
the campaign would be fought on the ques'
ton of foreign policy. 1t was soon found
that the Conservatives, having nothing
better to cffer on this issue than their pre-
decessors in Office, would soon 60 to pieces
in political struggle based on that ques-
ton and the campaign was shifted to Irish
matters. On those the Tories got the
better of the Liberals and secured coali-
ton with home rulers while the Liberals
had chance OF affiliating with the Par
nellites and they comparatively ignored
the Radicals. The latter therefore opened
q campaign on their own account and they
made the promise 10 work for disestablish-
ment as the most important pledge. When
Mr.. Gladstone and his colleagues were
aroused by the detection of the Parnellites
to the necessity of securing closer union
with the Radicals the latter had raised
the issue of disestsblshment 10 such
pronounced state that it could not be re-
moved from controversy. Mr.. Gladstone was
compiled therefore in securing alliance
with the Radicals to leave such Radical
and Liberal candidate as we're already in
nomination free TO remain sieadfast 10
their pledges So many of these candi'
dates had pledged themselves to dsestab-
lishmert, that the Conservatives forced
the question TO the front, and arrayed
themselves in favor OF the established
church. They derived increase from the
CATHOLIC CLERGY OF GREAT BRITAIN,
headed by Cardinal Newman. The more
prominent priests helped the Conserva-
lives in defending the church, taking the
ground that auy religion was better than
no religion that the established church
was one of Epglsnd's bulwarks against i'm
morality. This but served to cement the
union between The Catholic Home Rulers
and the Conservatives and the make
the whole question Of prime Importance.
The Conservative leaders were inspired
with renewed activity. and they have sue
coed in so forcing the fight that the people
of Great Britain tonight are thoroughly
aroused and clearly divided on this excit'
ing reli eious question. Every clergyman
has become for the time bitterly partisan
politician on one OF the two sides to the
controversy.
RECOGNIZE THEIR MISTAKE.
Conservative liberals are nov doing
their utmost to get the question removed
from the canvass. The Liberal associs-
tons are everywhere attempting TO discard
it from the programme OF their party. 1t
is more than probable, no Rever, that the
recognition OF their mistake has come too
late. The statement is not meant to con.
vey the idea that Tories and ParneIlites
combined will beat the Liberals aud
radicals in the number OF candidates they
will elect to the next parliament As
matters stand the liberals will probably
elect the greater number, but the tory
party has declared its intention to remain
in power unless they are defeated by so
large q majority as to indicate an
overwhelming public expression against
them. The difficulties in the way
of Mr.. Glsdsone's restoration to power may
be seen in the following facts, Of The one
