CHURCHILL's POLICY.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-Mr John Morley has prop
erly interpreted the designs of Lord Randolph
Churchill regarding the Irish question Lord
Randolph Churchill has declared to friend that
his policy was to say nothing and do nothing
and that is the policy he means to adhere to as
long as possible The various hints he has re-
Gently been giving are intended to pave the way
for postponing till year hence any proposal for
dealing with the question of self government
This Is probably the reason which lies at the
bottom cf the desperate effort he is
making to keep Ireland quiet. The desperation
of these efforts has begun to attract unfavorable
attention in the Loyalists' camp. If Ireland re-
mained quiet, the Tory leader would point tri-
umphanty to that fact as disproof of the state
ment of Mr. Gladstone that there were but the
two alternatives Of coercion or home rule for
Ireland, and would delude the Tory party and
perhaps the Liberal Unonsts until the comfort
ing doctrine that home rule was played, as even
the Irish people did not believe in it. Informa-
tion received to-day strongly indicates that these
efforts will be defeated and that in a few weeks
time the government will have to choose between
an Ireland that is ungovernable, or one that is
governed in accordance with the complete salts

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-The schemers are
saying that Sunset Cox will be chairman of the
House committee ways and means; that he
presents the undoubted popular idea of the party
about tariff reform, and can come nearer getting
through bill on the subject than any other
man. Mr.. Mills, of Texas, stands next to the
highest on the committee now. has been re-
elected. is a free-trader of the Morrison type,
and is known to be favorite of Speaker Car
Isle; but Mr. Mills would be as unsuccessful as
was Mr.. Morrison in reforming the tariff, as
their views and methods are almost Identical
Besides- Mr.. Mills could not, it is believed, rally
the support in protective States that Sunset Cox
could. Mr. Mills, it is further stated, would not
go any further towards compromising with Mr..
Randall than does the present chairman, while
Mr. Cox and the Pennsylvania are known to be
very warm friends and, it is believed, would
work together.
Tariff reform members dropping into Wash
ington do not take much stock in the prediction
made that tariff reform is to stand still till the
next presidential election is over Many of them
say the party must make its fight in 1883. on
that reform and that the platform must be made
by work in the House during the session begin"
ming twelve months hence.

BERLIN, Nov 20.-The army septennate pro-

proposed In the government plan, which is to
form new army corps of 20, 900 men, the
naming 50OO to be distributed among the artil

includes increased field artillery new regi-
ment of siege artillery, with a contingent of
engineers and augmented divisions of cavalry
and horse artillery. Associated with these
changes are projects fixing the limits of service
in each grade and arevised scheme of promotion.
These proposals invest the coming session of the
Reichstag with unwonted interest. An analysis

appeal TO the country and official circles, with

played the "Marsellaise. The people in the
windows of the government Offices were hoored at.
When the paraders passed through Downing
street they Kissed Lord Randolph Churchill.
The sight of the Horse Guard sentries ncensed
the mob, which fairly howled with rage. An Of
ficer closed the gates and the mob proceeded.
The East End sent full force and two bands of
music. When the speaking began there were
present five thousand Socialists, twenty-five
thousand unemployed workmen and criminals
and twenty thousand spectators. The speakers
included Messrs Hyndman. Champion and

difficulty in clearing the square. The mounted

Cardinal Jacobini Wants to Resign.

ROME, Nov. 2l.-Cardinal Jacobini, Papal Sec
retary of State, on the plea of ill-health, has
asked the Pope to accept his resignation. I: Is
known that the Cardinal suffers from incip-
lent dropsy, but the chief cause Of his desire
to resign is the appl oach of difficulty
with the Qurinal. 1t is reported that
the Pope wrote to Emperor Francis Joseph ask
ing him to intervene, on the ground that he
would be Obliged to quit Rome, unless the posi-
tion of the Vatican was improved, as the anti
clerical party was taking every chance to insult
him. Emperor Francis Joseph has not replied
yet. There is much intriguing to succeed
Jacobini if he should be allowed to retire.
