Lord Salisbury Takes Gloomy View of the

LONDON, Feb. 17.-Lord Salisbury, speaking
at banquet, this evening, said that recent
events had cast great responsibilities upon the
peers He feared that Mr.. Gladstone would not
yield home rule to Ireland oil at once, but by
installments. Mr.. Gladstone, he said, was de-
stroying the power of the landlords, and was
not creating anything capable of promoting
peace and prosperity. The Tory Irish policy was
plain and right-that of restoring and upholding
the law and preserving the union.
MIR. Gladstone has taken the Office of Privy
Seal in addition to that of Premier. This is un-
usual, and proves that Mr. Gladstone is expert
encing difficulty in securing suitable colleagues.
The Dublin Freeman's Journal declares that
the letters between Mr. Gladstone and Lord De-
Vesci on the Irish question must be regarded
with suspicion. While the correspondence was
ostensibly inaugurated by the Premier for the
purpose of obtaining further light on the needs
of ireland, the answer of DeVesci looks as if
satisfaction were being sought for in evasion of
the home rule ISSUE The Journal warns the
government to refrain from attempting to shelve
the home rule question.
