LONDON, Dec. R--Lord Salisbury delivered
an address at the City Conservative Club this
evening He said that it was remarkable phe-
nomenon tnat men of the greatest power and in
fiuence had separated themselves from the Lib
eral parry, and that their leader had thrown
aside party claims for a principle No party
commanded an absolute majority in Parliament,
but the Conservatives and Unionists were work
ing together, and although still retaining their
individuality and independence on all sub
Jects except one, both sides were
avoiding points of difference Nothing could
exceed the straightforwardness displayed by
Lord Harrington and his followers in rendering
their cooperation easy. Continuing, he said:
Mr.. Firth has claimed that the Conservatives
have been converted to his views in regard to
municipal reform. Well, am grieved to hear
it, because should be sorry to entertain such
views. We strongly oppose everything that
will diminish tine lustre and authority of the
city corporation though not blind to the needed
municipal reforms outside of the CITY,"
He did not believe that any
cunning manipulation Of the munic-
ipal institutions would give relief
to Ireland. She labored under the evil that her
population had been long deceived, and nothing
but the strong arm of the Law, persistently ap-
piled, could redeem the people from that decep-
tior. 1t was not question of home rule with
which they had to deal; it was with very differ
ent thing-the keeping of others money in their
pockets. Could the founding of nation be
based upon organized embezzlement9 Lord
Salisbury regretted their adopting this course
because they were destroying the confidence of
man in man, which was the root and
hope of the prosperity of ma
ton, and the evil effect of whose
destruction generations could not remove. On
the other hand, he was glad that they had not
deceived the English people, who might have
been msled and confused as to the business of
the Irish claims. ut is certain" continued
Lord Salisbury, that we will thereby obtain
the support of many men who have hitherto
sympathized with the Irish in their aspirations,
but who will feel that they are resisting not only
the dismemberment of the empire, but doctrines
fatal to the development of the industry and
we'll being of any country. With Lord Harting-
ton, regret that English statesmen allied with
the Irlsn party nave uone notnluS 10 stop sucn
pernicious doctrne-a doctrine for which they
are largely responsible
The papers interpret Lord Salsburys speech
as the forerunner of coercion bill.
The Standard says Lord Salisbury's speech
redresses the mental balance of the deranged
Lord Churchill, and serves as a reminder that
the youthful politician should not be taken too
readily at his word.
The Times says Lord Salisbury shows that he
comprehends the value of the support of the
Unionsts, and adds that the country will now
look for an invlgorating policy in Ireland.
Archbishop Walsh in letter published to-
day. warns the government that the difficulties
in Ireland already appalling will be immensely
increased if they persist in their attempts to
convict prisoners by picked or packed juries, as
was done at Sligo.
