London, June 27.-1he tory govern.
mcnt is skillfully feeling its way
along. Even Lord Randolph Chur-
chill has become prudent since his
party has had the responsibility of
government thrust upon 1t, for the
young orator has exhibited surpris-
ing rcprcssiDility, and has judiciously
held both his pen and tongue. In
view of the Impotence ofall BritOns
TO know the policy of the new govern
ment, this is to be regarded as all the
more remarkable. The only minister
of the new government who has, up
to date, publicly addressed his eonsu-
tuents is Mir. Arthur James Bal
four, tory member of parliament for
Hartford borough, which he has rep
resented since 1877. Mr.. Balfour is
about 81 years OF age, and is son-in-
law OF the Marquis of Salisbury, the
new prime minister, whose private
secretary the young man has long
been. The selection of Balfour for
the important Office of chief secretary
for Ireland must be looked upon as
ESPECIALLY SIGNIFICANT,
because he knows, b. tier perhaps
than any other person, the ideas of
Lord Salisbury upon the whole Irish
question and is the only man who has
ever been permitted by the present
premier to speak for him.. Hence
Mr.. Balfour's speech has attracted
profound attention

Salisbury was most persistent adj

THE VERY CRISIS,
which crowded his party
into power, found him actively
engaged in opposing every tendency
toward liberalism in Ireland. Res
possibility, however, has apparently
tempered Salisbury's views ON thii
important question and he evidentl!
shrinks from doing himself thos'
thugs for the abstinence from tn,
performance of which he castigateC
the Gladstone ministry. To use al
Americanism, Salisbury feels the nee
essity of "letting the TO Is down easy

process. The most
