THE PARNELLrTEs IN WAR PAINT.
A week age the diff In the cab
met IN the Irish question were 40 strong
and bitter that the bsst way out seemed
to be to invite defeat on a small issue
and to resign before the crisis came. At
the last moment, a. you know, thu cour
age to commit suicide failed the ministers
and defeat was bought off, but the inter-
nal situation is more strained than
ever. The ministerial Daily News to-day
speaks in a funeral tone Ct the triumph
of the wings in the cabinet decision, and
plainly foreshadows disaster. The ma.
tionslists and the English radicals have
been angered by the retention of some of
the most offensive forms of coercion, and
the Irish liberals have been repealed by
the failure TO contidtr land.market re.

vague promi,e for the future. That
Lord Randolph Churchill will drive q
large portion of tie tories over to the

extremely confident. Upon this point

poets the worat from both contingencies
and looks for a repetition of the coali-

are far gloomier. Even the Times aG-

as In the three other provinces. No ex.

than those offered yesterday, can soften

dates wherever q whig Is opposed to
them, with the effect to defeat many of
most prominent liberal leaders. Ia other
districts this vote will be discreetly used
to aid the ultra radicals, and to widen
the gulf between them and the liberals.
When it Is remembered that there are
nearly a hundred districts where the irish
can effect the result, the possible eff cts
can be realized. To-night's Echo de-
nounces the proposed wal of coercion
and predicts that the English radicals
will be pr t~ctically united against it.
AS for England, the Parnellite leaders
are jubllant over the situation, and they
talk now of n%inety-two seats instesd of
eighty. Much SIS they Ike DR.. Walsh,

This ministry's management of Irish
affairs was never consp!clous for good
judgment, but far and away the most
inexcusable and foolish blupder of the
series Is this bullying of the pope into
