LORD sAIIsBURY's SPEECH.
Lord SalisDury's cautious speech at the Mansion
House ON Wednesday strengthens the good i'm
preston created at home and abroad by his hrst
statement in the House of Lords He said little
new respecting foreign affairs, but plainly means
to perseyere in prudent policy, while regrettiug
that circumstances prevent him from reverting to
the rash adventures which he formerly favored.
Lord Salisbury said what he could in defence OF
his amazing recantation respecting Ireland. In
substance it was this That the renewal OF the
Crimes Act was impossible after the extended iran
chise had once been granted to Ireland This IS
precisely the argument long since urged by Mr. John
Morley.
The schism in the Tory party exctos more interest
than any other political incident of the week.

Hicks-Beach and Lord Randolph Churchill an

section of old-fashioned Tories have protested
against this surrender More than one said that
nothing so dsgraceful was ever known in Par.ia-
ment as the scene in which the Tory leaders turned
their hacks on Lord Spencer and the whole system
of Irish rule which they bad heretofore supported
and eulogized. This smouldering anger finally

members for Liverpool to attend meeting IN that
city which Lord Randolph Churchill had promised

the Mansion House. Whatever may have Eeen the

servative worthy of the name 1t declared that 1t
would rather have the Tories abandon Office than
again be exposed to the humiliation of Lord Ran
dolph Churchilrs Irish speeches, which had dis
honored the party 1t protested against tolerating
further pranks and blunders from an overgrown
schoolboy incredibly ignorant of affairs. who de-
lights in the crudest insults to his seniors 1t pre-

up the Conservative party unless suppressed. 1t

Nevertheless. Lord Randolph Churchill remains
