PoLITICs WITHOUT A PROGRAMME.
LONDON, Aug. Although the cleo
torsl campaign is about to open, both
political parties are still in search Of o
definite programme for party action.
TORY RUPTURES AND REMoNsTRANCEs.
The developments of the past week
indicste an immense rupture in the
Conservative party, caused through
the discomfort of the old Tories, who
constitute tho vast bulk of the party.
They believe the present Conservative
leaders hav9 been going too far in an
effort TO placate the Parnellites and
aecure them as allies. Remonstrances
have boon sent to the Marquis of Sails
bury ftom nearly all provincial Tory
election agents.
CHURCHILL CURBED,
These remonstrances, added to the
protests OF the Conservative members
Of Parliament, have been made the
subject of cabinet discussion, Tho re-
suit is that Lord Randolph Churchill
has submitted to party discipline.
He has agreed 10 take an
humble pnblic role, and has
engaged TO appear before his
angry and disappointed colleagues in
Liverpool and explain TO them an
attempt to justify his actions with the
Irish home rulers. He has also con-
sented to go on an election tour under
direction of the Marquis of
Salisbury. Lord Randolph is
stubborn, however, and has
not surrendered unconditionally. Ho
has secured the consent of his more
aged party managers to advocate q
conservative policy, which will EN-.
brace local self-government for
Ireland and reform in the British
land laws. IL Ia true these
terms are very general, but it may
safely be predicted, having committed
his party to general advocacy OF
local self-government and land
law reform, Lord Randolph will,
in his own good time, secure q docis-
ion of the young Conservatives to
decidedly particular and radical APP
plication of The same principles.
He will then raid; that iS, he will
norge his following with that of Par
nell and Chamberlain, snap his fingers
at Lord Salisbury and the "old fogies,"
and go IN for the leadership on his own
account.
LUCKLEsS LIBERALS.
AS bad off politically as the Tories
seem to be, the Liberals appear to be
in worse condition. Tory have, il
seems, small prosL ects of securing
unity OF conduct among their
clangmeD in the coming elections gnd
smaller prospects still of agreeing on
q party cry. Britt, secretary 10 the
Marquis of Harrington, Mr.. Glad
sSone's minister for war, caused more
or less political excitemont the other
day, by writing public letter deplor-
ing tho lack of party writer's among
the Liberals, and insisting upon the
necessity of the parties joining in r
formal declaration of pol.
icy. II is now said Britps
action was taken with the design of
drawing Gladstone out and inducing
him to speak, but the "grand old mani
refuses TO speak and refuses 70 foTmu-
tre0.ed party, despite the
constant approximations o. his
colleagues that it Is time TO p,0mul-
gate the principles on which he means
to appeal 60 the new elections. Urove-
lyn, John Morley aud largo Number
OF ether Radicals Of their school,
have outlined political platform
which they urge tho Liberal party to
adopt. IL demands the diSostabliBh-
ment OF the church in England and
Scotland, homo rulc for Ireland, and
reform ia the feudal land systom.
The Democratic Radicals accept this
platform, but insist on adding to
IL demands for n shorter parliament,
for the abolition OF the House
of Lords and for tho payment
of salaries to members OF the
House of Commons, so that poor men
can 20 there to represent tho poor OF
Great Britain.
THE SOCIAL SEASON.
This week was London's social seg-
son, which has been unusually brill.
liant. The Princess of Wales and her
three daughters have been seen
nearly every day driving In Rotten
Row, accompanied by two other royal
carriages, filled with foreign notsbles,
WALES AND THE "LILY.D
A society incident that cGued quito

which had boon extended TO Sir George
