Rapid Progress of the Irish Toward
Self Government.

LONDON, July Alone Rule marches
with giant strides into the domain of prac-
tical politics 1t is styled local self-goyern-
ment, because the Irish name still sticks in
the throats of British leaders, but the device
decelves only themselves. The fact remains
that both Tories and Liberals are engaged
in paving the way for an alliance with the
Parnellites. The proposal at present takes
the shape of an extension of Self-govern-
ment to England, Scotland and Ireland. BY
and by Ireland will forge to the front, and
Liberals and Tories will be compelled to
come out with their proposals by buying off
the Irish party. Lord Roseberry has igone
further than anybody else has yet done in
declaring that he is willing to leave to the
local body of either Ireland or Scotland the
settlement of the land questions. Salisbury
has abstained from any positive declaration,
but he shows himself open to any reasona-
BILE order by an emphatic avoNaA that the
cry OF local Self-government belongs as much
to the Tories as to the Liberals. Meanwhile
the Parnellites maintains caution silence on
the different bids for their support in Par
lament, but seemed inclined to assist the
Tories, hoping thus to encourage them to
outbid Chamberlain and Dixie: The Par
nellite hostility to the reelection of Lord
Hill, comptroller of accounts in her majes-
ty' household, and present member for
county Downs, is merely local, and is intend
ed to teach Lord Salisbury that he must
break from the Orangemen, thus driving
from the English Tory party the greatest OBJ
stacle to an alliance between them and the
Parnellites.
