BIDDING FOR AN IRISH ALLIANCE.
JBY CABLE TO TRIBUNE
LONDON. JAN 29.-This has been an interesting
but disappointing week. The English and the lrisn
nnblic alike looked to the Queens Speech and 10
Aha snescbos of the Conservative and Liberal
leaders in Parliament for some relief 10 tHe
prolonged anxiety about Irish matters lucy
get very little. The crisis hangs fire. Neither
Tories nor Liberals are satisfied with the course OF
affairs What most contents most people In
Fngland is what the Queen says about Home Rule
Tho speech made in her name by the Ministry
definitely commits the Conservative party against
all attempts to dsturb the existing legislative union
between England and Ireland. Mr.. Gladstone
Instantly protested against the description of the
act of uniou as fund lmenta law, being aware that
II condenses into single phrase all the objections
on which the English base their hostility to the Irish
demand for legislative inde0endencei
The Minst srial method Of dealing with the other
and more urgent part of the Irish question bears the
marks of compromise between differing sections of
the Cabinet The tone of the speech itself was
thought firm though known to have been modified in
consequences of Lord Randolph Churchilrs re-
monstrances against the use of the word coercion.
Lord Salisbury, in the House of Lords, and Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, in the House of Commons,
disclosed notifications much more important The
best-kcpt secret of the Ministerial policy was the
resolve to propose the reform Of procedure in the
Commons. and to give this reform precedence over
all other business, Irish matters included The
Ministers allege as an excuse for delaying Irish
legislation the necessity of obtaining further
information. Mr.. Smiths appointment as Chiet
Secretary for Ireland supplies plausible pretext
for this delay The new man must have time to
decide on a new policy. The Liberals retort:
sWhy thea did you make the Queen draw such
gloomy picture of the social condition OF the
country, about which yOu now profess not to know
enough to be able to legislatei There is no answer
to that question.
