one can tell how, when or with wha
surroundings the break Will come. Al
really known is that America is repay

cession. We aided Davis all we could

our own precedent This much, how.
lever, is known. that within the past
week great press and political changes

4 on, looking much as il combinations
i for thWarting him are beginning, like
i those in Washington i'll 1861, when the
war Democrats and Republicans COM
i bined to form an anti-secession party.
The Echo and Pail Mall Gazette Radi-
call, said: What we shall soon be dis
| GUESSING is not Home Rule, but dis
Establishment; not concession, but CO..
eroion; not establishing county boards,
! but a desperate attempt to throw Ire
land into huge jail. Which is it 10
| be? 1t all turns upon one question
| viii the Irish pay fair rent for their
! farms, or fail price for their land? Ii
! the Irish will not pay their landlords
20 shillings in the pound On the par
value of their property, then they must
dispense, not only with the hope Of
Home Rule, but any semblanee Of gov
eminent by consent. They will be gov
erned as Russia governs the Poles, and
their Invincibles viii be crushed as the
Gar has crushed the Nihilists." Home
Rule has caused difference of opinion
between Mr.. Robinson, manager of the
Daily News, and Mr. Frank Hill, VINO
has been its editor for sixteen years.
The result was the retirement of the
latter Saturday and the substitution of
MIR. Henry w Lucy, chief OF the News
parliamentary staff and best known in
America as the writer Of a parliament
tary work. Tbs News and Truth are
the only London papers synapathizing
with, If not backing up, MIR. Parnell.
Mr.. Parnell is sphinx-like to all, refer
ring al inquirers to his recent inter-
views, He held on Monday, in Dublin,
u secret caucus of eighty-five men who
are defending the Irish ThermopylB
against coercion. Mr.. Gladstone fol-
lowed with a secret caucus ON the same
day in London. Lord Salisbury has
one daily; but only from the Queens
address can aught be even guessed at
as to Home Rule manGuyres. This
only is certainly known-all England is
affrightediy angry at the money raising
and sympathy across the Atlantic. The
best account Of the Irish situation is
furnished by Mr.. Jennings to the New
York Times, in which this able CORE
sspondenJ says, writing from London
last c. 10y. The ceaseless roar {
the heavy guns OF the Thunderer, and
The rattle of the fusiiiade of the smaller
press guns Go not allow one to forget
for an instant that a tremendous final
attack is being made all along the line
on Mr. Gladstone's position. The at
tempt Of the !, higs to overthrow and
discredit his leadership in 1880 Vas an
intrigue rather than an assault. The
mutineers then took precious good care
not to go SO far that they could not
easily slide back into Office when the
revolt collapsed. This time the con-
tiict, if not distinctly above board, is
obviously bitter and determined. For
purposes Of their own the Tories are
merging their own identity with that of
the Wings, and are moving heaven and
earth to induce the latter TO stand firm
and fight the grand old man. In the
name of the noderases Of both parties
a dozen different Tory lieutenants dur
ing the past week introduced in their
speeches profession of their willing
ness ~ support for the premiership
Lord Harrington if he would take the
field openly against concessions to Ire
| land, and there is still other evidence
| that Tory strategy attaches as much
| Importance to this bait for coalition
Wing and Tory ministry as to a menace
| OF swift dissolution Until the smoke
| clears next week it will be impossible
| to Judge of the effect of this fierce con-
t earted attack on the Ha warden forth
/ fieations. The besieged have beenveTy
saving OF their ammunition. Only the
Daily News has maintained desultoTy
answering FIRE. but it is suspected that
! this is q cover for extensive mining OPP
erations The result of which may be sig
naiiy effective and DISASTROUS to the
! Wings and Tories alike. Even the
most sangulne Of these are unable TO
resist an uneasy fear that the strategist
is meditating calamitous surprise for
them. He will come up TO London on
Monday and throw himself into tbs
task Of getting acquainted with the new

coolest and closest observers say tbs
balance Of success or failure is pain
fully even now.
