| LONDON, Dec. 9--Lord Salisbury, in a
| speech at the City Conservative Club last
evening, said it was remarkable phenom-
enon that the men of the greatest power and
influence had separated themselves from the
Liberal party. and the leader Of that party
had thrown aside party claims for princi-
pies. No one party, he said, commanded an
absolute majority in Parliament, but the
| Conservatives and Unionists were working
| together on all except one subject, still re-
tanning their individuality and independence.
He did not believe that any manipulation of
institutions could relieve Ireland Her pop
ulation had so long been deceived that
nothing, but persistent application of the
law could redeem the people from that de-
ceptlon. Lord Salisbury said it was not the
question OF home rule with which they had
70 zeal, put the question OF the Irish people
keeping In their own hands money belonging
10 Others. Could, he asked, the founding of
nation be based on organized embezzle-
ments?
He regretted the counsel of the home rule
element In Ireland, because it had the effect
OF destroying confidence between man and
man, which was the root of the hope and
prosperity of the nation, and the evil effect
Oh such destruction could not be removed for
generations to come. 1t was through the
realization of this that the Conservatives
would be able to obtain the support of many
who had hitherto sympathized with the
Irish people, but the wise will now feel like
resisting not only the dismemberment of the
nation, but also doctrines fatal to the de-
velopment OF the industry and well being of
any community. Lord Salisbury regretted
that the English statesmen who had allied
themselves with the Irish cause had not
stopped the spread OF such ponderous doc
Urine me LOT which they are largely responsible.
Ihe Standard says Lord Salisbury's speech
redresses the mental balance of the deranged
Lord Churchill, and serves as reminder
that the youthful politician should not be
taken too readily at his word
The Times says Lord Salisbury shows that
he comprehends the value of the support of
the Unionists, and adds that the country
