an Irish Bil-Cablnet Difficulties.
LONDON, Aug. IAN exchange of views
among the Parnelites has led to decision to
give the government time to prepare an Irish
bill, but the Parnellites will demand measure
for the suspension of evictions. Owing to the
fall in prices, numerous tenants in Ireland are
in arrears and are unable to pay their rents If
the introduction OF the Irish bill be postponed
until spring the landlords will, in all likelihood,
resort to wholesale evictons,s unless restrained
from doing so.
Mr.. Kilson's position as President of the Lib
eral Federation is menaced by his acceptance of a
baronetcy Mr. Chamberlain and his followers
are delighted at the situation. They ridicule
the idea of baronet being at the head of a
democratic caucus.

Many difficulties have arisen in const ructing
the new Ministry, the adjustmecs of personal
claims being work of peculiar delicacy at this
moment When Mr.. Gladstone frames a Cabi-
net he consults his own wishes exclusively, but
Lord Salisbury does not exercise the same de-
gree of freedom. Lord Randolph Churchill
must be considered. He is the sort of man
| u,hn will rIxxi NoA
net is largely of his making for his personal
friends are all in good positions. The astosish-
ing preferment of Heury Matthews js entirely
due to Lord Randolph. No one else, outside of
legal circles, knows Matthews. Who takes a
foremost position in the Cabinet and an Office
worth $4,000 year at one bound Cecil
Raikes long and uniustly neglected, receives
recognition of his services. Raikes, able
man and good debater. somehow got shunted.
At last, he has been put the track again by
Churchill Lord Iddeslegh is, doubtless, Sails
bury's choice. Nearly all the rest of the ap-
pointments were evidently prompted by the
younger leader Necessarily there is much bit
terness and art-burning among those left out
in the cold. Indications Of this break out in
letters to the Times, sneering at Churchill and
ueprecaClug MS AppOlnLmenG as leauer OF Gne
House. The Conservatives generally look upon
him as enfant terrible, self willed, hot-tem
pered anG dangerous and likely to end by splitting
up his party, as Gladstone has his They look very
miserable and predict evil things. This is by no
means the view of the younger members, who
see Iii Churchill the only man who has dared to
tackle Gladstone They tired of old hairs,
and understand Churchills popularity with the
masses. 1t is certain that Churchill is the only
man on the Conservative side Gladstone really
fears. His pungent sarcasms and quick rep
artee seem to have peculiarly exasperating
effect on the old man. On the other hand,
Churchill is on singularly good terms person
ally with Chamberlain, so there is 40 chance of
his falling out with the Liberal Unionists.
His assumption of the leadership of the
House will strengthen his party at first The
subsequent result must depend on his wn con-
duct. At present he rules the roost. Cross's
carriage stops the way, but in the course of q
few hours it will go on again. It is no great
secret that Churchill and Cross are not entirely
congenial spirits. If new blood is required in
the Cabinet some old stagers must be sheved.
Smith taken care of, Manners dealt gently with,
and Iddesleigh placed velvet. it is per-
haps thought that concessions enough have
been made to men of Disraeli's genera
ton. The government Is being consti-
tuted under the belief that it has long term of
Office before it, and barring accidents, do not
see how this belief can fail to turn out correct.
In this respect cannot agree with the opinions
expressed by other correspondents Look care
fully at the situation. The Conservatives out
number both divisions of the Liberals. They
only need twenty votes or .abstentions from any
quarter to possess majority of the whole house.
1t is an idle dream to suppose both the Liberal
sections will combine with the Parnellites to pro-
duce another general election, in hopes of rein
stating Gladstone.
