Politics in England.

LONDON, Sept. 26.-The political cam
paign, which has hitherto been devoid of
life, begins to glow. The prospect is that
the occurrences of the coming week will
make electoral affairs quite lively. Premier
Salisbury will on Tuesday issue Tory cam
paign manifesto. This theConservatives hope
will put new life into the Tory cause. The
blast blown by the ''grand old man. dis
sipated the seeds of disrupting discord
which were finding roots in the division of
the Liberal structure. But it has been
neglected since, and damaging growths
are again fostering upon it. Lord Sails
bury'S followers entertain the conviction
that he can blow a counter blast that will
shake the weakening Gladstone temple to
the ground. John Bright has determined
to re-enter politics as an advocate of the
restoration of the Liberals to power.
He proposes to make the candidacy
of Sir Henry James, FMr. Gladstone's
attorney general for the parliamentary seat
belonging to Bury, suburb of Manchester,
the occasion for undertaking a stumping
tour. This will undoubtedly prove to be
one of the greatest sensations of the
campaign, and Mr.. Bright's utterances
will all make good and effective
party literature for the Liberals. Lord
Randolph Churchill, who has been spend
ing vacation in preparing himself for the
work OF the coming campaign, will begin that
work next week. He will go to Birming-
ham and endeavor in a public address there
to demonstrate to the English people
HOW UTTERLY UNFIT
both Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Bright are for
the responsibilities of public trust. Mr..
Gladstone still declines to name a date
for the delivery of the speech he
has promised to make to his Midlothian
constituents. Some persons attribute his
refusal to his continued physical inability
to speak in public, while others believe that
he is waiting to have Premier Salisbury
make some general statement Of the Tory
policy in order to effectively answer it. A
great many persons have gone to
see Mr.. Gladstone since his return to
Hawarden, and they all concur in the state
ment that, so far at least as ordinary con-
versation goes. the great orators voice is
perfectly good. Mr.. Herbert Gladstone,
however, declares that his father is under
strict medical orders to refrain for the pres
ent from any use of his voice
that might strain it, but adds that Mr..
Gladstone himself expects to be able dur
ing the campaign to deliver at least three
public orations. Never. perhaps, was any
mans voice considered with so
much concern by so many people.
The most intimate friends of
the ex-premier do not hesitate to say that
they believe that, although he may succeed
under favorable circumstances in delivering
few short speeches this autumn. Mr..
Gladstone's career, as an orator, is
PRACTICALLY CLOSED FOREVER.
The Parnellites constitute at present the
only thoroughly united and compact politi-
cal party in the country. They believe
that their prospects are bright. The Ameri-
can plan, formulated this week in
the Boston Pilot by Mr.. Alex
ander Sullivan, to raise fund
at the January league convention in Amer
lea, sufficient to enable Mr.. Parnel to pay
the salaries of e500 per annum for five
years to ninety Home Rule members, dis
turbs the Tories and Wings, while it i'm
mensely elates the Nationalist. 1t is the
greatest aid ever rendered to the Home Rule
cause. 1t will enable Mr.. Parnen to Sc
cure the services in parliament of many an
able poor Irish gentleman, now kept by lack
| of means from accepting seat, and will
place the whole delegation under
more obligation and greater allegiance
to the league than it has ever been
