IRELAND'S DANGER.
The Cup of Success May be Dashed
From Parnell's Lips.
Gladstone Likely to Take Revenge
in a Deal With Salisbury
And the Disruption of the Irish Par
ty---An Armistice Signed.

LONDON, November 28.-The political as,
pect tonight indicates the Conservatives
will remain in power. 1t now seems i'm.
possible for Mr.. Glsps;ons's party to secure
that majority of members in the next Par
hament which Lord Salisbury has de,
clsred necessary to prove that the British
people desire change in the Government.
Hence both Conservatives and Liberals
now accept the Tory retention Of Office as
a certainty, ard both parties have already
begun shaping their officers to conform to
that prospect. Ia fact the greater portion
Of Liberal leaders are at present specu.
| lating upon Salisburys probable policy
1t is thought that the Tory premier will
rearrapge his Cabinet before opening Par.
/ lament.
THE IRISH QUESTION OS TOP.
Whether his party holds powers By v.r.
| tue Of small msjori'y Of its own or by
virtue of strength derived from an alliance
with the Parneliites it ia everywhere con
ceied that he will be forced to make the
Irish queation the subj 9Ct of his fret i'm
portant measure oflegislstiou, as the Home
Rulers will certainly have the balance
of power, any legislation proposed
by The Conservatives for the ben
eft Of Ireland will have 10
contain very generous and radical conces.
sions in order to be acceptable to the
League members. Their demands in this
respect may be regarded By the new gov.
ernment al extortionste and may on this
account be refused. The Psrnellites al
present threaten to use their balance OF
power to block sll legislation until their
demands are satisfied They will, how
ever, in all probability, be bsffied in their
attempt to carry out such determination.
GLADSTONE AS AN IRISH ENEMY.
Mr.. Gladstone can be very vindictive.
The ParnelI vote threw the Liberals from
power and the same vote prevented their
return. Gladstone knows that the Tories
do not love the Irisn and would be glad to
be independent OF them. Now ifthe con.
servatives could be made independent Of
the home rulers the Psrnellite balance OF
power would disappear and the party
might 60 to pieces 90 stay dismembered)
because Of the less Of the cohesive power
OF accomplishment. Gladstone is Eng
lish above all things He has it in bis
power TO deprive ParnelI Of all the
expected benefits be counts on in the con.
troll Of solid Irish party. He need
only ally himself with the Conservatives
on oil Irish measures to DO this Such an
alliance would be in accord with the past
history of the Liberal party and would be ex
ceedingly grateful to the Tories. 1t would
leave the Psrnellites and the Radicals com.
pletely out in the cold, for combined they
would be sn insignificant minority in COM !
psrison to their allied opponents The po
iItical and poetical justice of this form Of
retaliation is apparent and there are al |
ready indications that the grand old man
has made up his mipd 10 adoptit
A GLADsToSE.sALIsBURY DEAL. /
A story ia current in the clubs tonight |
that Mr.. Gladstone has intimsted to Lord .
Salisbury a willingness in the event Of
Conservative success at the polls, 10 give
the whole Liberal strength to the support
of the Government on all reasonable
measures. In order to prevent the neces-
sity OF yielding to the ruinous course OF
placing England under Irish dictation
The very phrsseology Of the ex.Premiers
overtures is captivating to Tory. No
doubt is entertained that the Liberal
leaders proposal if it really has been offer-
ed, has been accepted. This would clearly
explain the inward meaning Of the sudden
change of front adopted but yesterday by
the Conservatives. After the Parnelliie
manifesto issued last Saturday, the Tory
leaders suddenly lost mnch of the ardor
they had displayed while counting the
alliance. The Glsdstone.Sslisbury com.
pact makes all this plain. 1t also sug-
ges,s many serious reflections.
DISRUPTION OF The IRISH PARTY.
Uppermost among these ia the thought |
that this latest Gledstonian intrigue may |
accomplish the ultimate disruption Of the

tary organization. If after alitheir steady
efforts, many sacrifices and long continued
good management, the Irish party should
ind that their complete unity instead OF
being of any avail should result in nothing
but q solid combination Of the great Eng
li.h parties against them. Nothing would
be more more natural than for them to be- !
come discouraged over the inutility and even
danger Of their organisation and fell TO
pieces. Their case would exactly resem.

sssail You and when the Intriend,y party
is in power your less will be great. II
the party you are allied to should obtain
power, it would not dare TO make your
cause its own. II you remain a party BY
yourselves you must barter your influence
without obsainiug any certainty Of obtain
ing Jour price and you cannot act alone
without arraying the balance Of the conn
try against you. The ouly cay is to d.
vide yourselves between tie parties as the
other churches do aud then you Will be
equally unssssilsble" The spectator de-
clared that it has authority fer stating that
liberal Conservative understanding on
the lines above described has been arrived
at. st the different liberal clabs great con-
Germ is already manifested az to the future
leadership Of the party.
