ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
The Liberals Lost Scores of Seats by
Oyer.COMfidence.

Special to the Globe.
LONDON, Dec. I2.-The Parnelites are
in no way astonished at Mr.. Gladstone's
present solicitude to settle the Irish ques-
ton. They have long known that he
yearned to pose as the one British states
man who was capable of graphing with
that stupendous problem. He has
already conferred great benefits upon Ire
land, and his vast ambition, fired by the
splendor of the work, made him desire to
round off his glorious career with the settle
ment of this most difficult of political prob
lens. All this was calculated upon by the
Parnellites, and it made them perfectly
confident that the grand and vain old man
would try and have finger in the
pie if it were in any way possible.
Mr.. Gadstone's utterances, both during and
since the compaign, have been narrowly
scanned by the Parnellites. The inference
is drawn that, although he would prefer to
be able to ignore Parnell through a large
majority, he always left door open through
which to meet the Irish leader. Therefore
1t was Parnelrs secret wish, although no.
body in England had yet discovered it, that
Gladstone should have a small majority
just enough to swear by and to enable him

from pure motive of justice. The Liber-
ais are daily discovering evidences that
scores of seats were lost to their party
in the late elections through over
confidence. This optionism had lead
results in two ways. 1t led the managers
to rest content with defective organizations
in critical Places and it caused thousands
of Liberal electors to neglect casting their
votes. The question of
FREE TRADE VS.. FAIR TRADE
is being brought prominently to the front
by the champions of both systems.
The Golden club has awakened to the
Alarming strength of the antiFreet aders,
and declares that if their strength cont.nu s
to increase for a few years more at II e
same rate they will probably be able to
effect vast fiscal changes. Ala m I'd at
this prospect, the club is now be sging
its wealthy members to subscribe for
a propaganda fund. with which to combat
the wicked protectionists. The Tories. N
the other hand. are cleverly using Preside
Cleveland's message to make a point in
favor of protection. They say that Il e
United States are so burdened
with surplus revenue that they WI
soon be compelled to remit ma y
of the duties on imports not from any love
of free trade. but because it is necessary to
spend the surplus somehow. The Liberals
have issued counter manifesto, setting

forth that hundreds of thousands
OF people are out of work
in the states as a result of
protection. Your correspondent is permit
ted to publish the following as embodying
the views of majority of Lord SaIisbury's
colleagues:
Correspondents the present government
prepared TO accede to the Parnellite demands
for home rule for Ireland?
Minister-It is firmly believed that Lord
Salisbury is willing to grant such measure
as would be tantamount to a complete con-
troll Of purely Irish matters.
CorreSpondent-What subjects Of legisla-
ton would be included in the terms? Purely
Irish matters?
Minster-Such matters as dock, local rates,
county boards and affairs of that class.
Correspondent-Would such a concession
be broad enough to be
ACCEPTABLE TO THE NATIONALISTS?
Minister-The measure of local self-govern-
ment which Lord Salisbury is willing
to concede to Ireland is perhaps not SO broad
as that for which Mr.. Parnell secured the
unity of the Irish party, but it is the widest
which her majesty's government can con-
cede. We cannot GO beyond whatI have out
lined. The demands for Irish autonomy no
English government could possibly yield to-
Correspondent-Why?
Minister-It would be giving to Ireland q
separate fiscal system. 1t would be relieving
Ireland of her share of the responsibilities
Tor national debt. 1t would in fact be max
ing of Ireland separate kingdom. The idea
is preposterouS.
Correspondent-How far does Lord Sails
bury believe that MIR. Gladstone'S party would
go in this opposition?
Minister-The majority of the cabinet be-
lieve that the Liberals would assist the Con-
servatives in opposing the Parnellite demand.
A coalition of the Liberals with the Conserv-
atives is possible if it should be necessary to
resist the loss of the present proper imperial
control in Irish affairs.

LawIer to be Register.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 12.-Boynton of the
Mccarthy committee says that Lawler Will
be made register at Mitchell, OAK, but
that Sesinger will remain as receiver. He
was appointed by Arthur and had once
been Democratic delegate from Montana,
and is still regarded as a Democrat. At
Aberdeen the same gentleman says Mr.
Russell will be made receiver, but whether
it is their Mr.. Russell of the territorial COM
mittee or another Russell, who is among
the applicants they do not know, and will
call on MI. Lamar upon Monday to find out.

Postmaster Judd's Prospects.
Special to the Globe.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-There is gen.
eral belief that the excitement over the
alleged fight over Postmaster Judd's con-
firmation at Chicago is based on very slight
foundation. In fact the refusal of the SEN
atorial Republican caucus to adopt Gen.
Logan's general system of making war on
this class of cases has materially lessened
the prospect of any successful fight against
Judd's confirmation. Talks with some of
eX-POstmaster Palmer's most intimate
friends indicate that the plan to be adopted
in his case, should it be decided by
TIC senate to make a fight over it,
will merely delay action on the nomination
of his successor and allow it to run along to
the end of the session without action. 1t is
stated this will probably be the plan to be
pursued in several cases. Mr.. Palmer, it is
understood. sent his resignation to Senat or
Logan i'll February last, authorizing him to
present it to the president if he saw fit, but
Mr.. Logan did not think such course a
wise one, and so pigeon-holed the resigna-
