ments of the past week disclosed an i'm
mense rupture in the Conservative party,
caused through the discomfort of the Old
| Tories who constitute the vast bulk of the
party. They believe the present Conser-
vative leaders have been going too far in
| their efforts to propitiate the Parnellites
and secure themselves. Remonstrances
have been sent the MARQUIS of Salisbury
| from nearly all the provincial agents. These
remonstrances, added to fhe protests of
| Conservative members of Parliament, have
been made the subject of Cabinet dis
cussion. The result is that Lord Ran
| dolph Churchill has submitted to
patty discipline. He has agreed to take
an humber public role, and has engaged
to go before sbis angry and disappointed
parry coneasues III i-iv--,, --r,yU. ~nu explain
TO them .-.u attempt to justify his rela-
rtions with the Irish Home Rulers. He has
| also sgreed to go on an electioneering tour
under the direction of the Marquis of
| Salisbury.
lord RANDOLPH Is STUBBORN,
| however, and has not surrendered uncon-
i ditionally. He has secured the consent of
! his more aged party managers to advocate
| a Conservative policy, which will embrace
\ local government reform and reform in the
| British land laws. It is true these terms
! are very general, but it may be safely pre-
| die ted that having committed his party to
a general advocacy of a local self-govern
ment and land-law reform, Lord Randolph
will, in his own good time, secure
| the adhesion of the young Con-
servatiyes to a decidedly particular and
Radical application OF the sane
| principles. He will then trade-that is
merge his following with that of Parnell
and Chamberlain, snap his fingers at Lord
Salisbury and tie ''old fogies," and go in
| for leadership on his own account. Bad
of, politically, as the Tories seem to be,
| the
! LIBERALS APPEAR To BE IN WORSE CON-
| DiTIoN.
They have, it seems, small prospects OF Sc
curing unity of conduct among their clans
| men N the coming elections, and smaller
| prospects still of agreeing on party cry.
Brett, secretary to the Marquis ci.Hart-
| ington, Mr.. Gladstone's Minister of War,
caused more or less political excitement
| the other day by writing public letter
deploring the lack of party unity
among the Liberals and insisting
upon the necessity of the parties joining
in formal declaration of policy. 1t is
| now said that Brett's action was under
taken with the design of drawing Glad
stone out and inducing him to speak. But
the 'grand old man" refuses to formulate
policy for his distracted party, despite
| the constant representations OF his col
leagues that it is time to proclaim the
principles on which he means to
APPEAL TO A NEW ELECTORATE.
Trevelyan, who was Liberal Chancellor OF
| the Duchy of Lancaster, John Morley,
and a large number of other Radicals of
their school, have outlined a political
platform which they urge the Liberal
party to adopt. 1t demands the disestab-
lishment of the Church in England and
Scotland, home rule for Ireland, and re-
form in the feudal land sytem. The Dem
ocratic Radicals accept this platlHsss, t<t
insist on adding to it demand for
shorter Parliament, for the abolition Of the
House of Lords, and fer the payment of
salaries to members OF the House CT Com
mons, 30 that poor men can go there to
represent the poor Of Great Britain.
END OF THE LONDON SOCIAL SEASON.
This week ends the London social sea-
son, which was unusually brilliant. The
Princess of Wales and her three daughters
might have been seen nearly every pleas
ant day driving in Rotten Row, accom-
panied by two other royal carriages filed
with foreign notables.
WALES AND THE LILY.
A society incident that caused quite
fiutter happened recently in Rotten Row.
The Prince of Wales was driving with his
sons, when they met Mrs. Lsngtry, who
was also out, and, gossip says, with a
knowledge of coming events" AS soon as
his royal highness recognized the
Lilly" he left his sons and joined
the actress, ~hom he accompanied
through the park. Theatrical specu-
l of thot
secures a boom for the Lily during her
next professional tour. The Pricce of
Wales, it is said, has Cancelled sll invita-
tions which had been extended to both
Sir George Chetwynd and Lord Lonsdale
to attend receptions at Marlborough
House, the Princes city palace. This
action was taken because of their first
6ght over Mrs. Langtry the other day.
The prince, it is said, was very angry when
he discovered that both gentlemen -
