The more the political makeup OF
Salisbury's cabinet is studied and I'M
derstood the more certain does it appear
that the great events Of the past year
have taught him nothing. Churchill is
virtually the head Of the new govern
ment, and his friends are well provided
for. He cannot have any real harmony
Of sentiment with such men as Lord
Castlereagh's kinsman and Sir Michael
Hicks Beach. and yet these men are the
highest officers Of the crown in ireland.
The policy Of coercion vigorously APP
piled for twenty years." which is the
Tory regimen for existing evils in Ire
land, will only be met by stubborn non
resistant policy on the part Of the Irish.
Evictions mean no rent, and In the pres
ent depressed condition Of agriculture In
Ireland distress is sure to follow any at
tempt to enforce payment OF rentals.
The Salisbury administration will be
dominated by Churchill who, ambitious
as he is to supplant Gladstone in the az
fections of the English liberals, may at
tempt to unite the liberals on moder-
ate Irish policy which will command a
sufficient conservative support to carry
1t through parliament. There is no one
party in England to-day that can COM
bine to carry any measure of Irish re-
form. There are at least four, IL not
five, factions in English politics on this
question, and Of these three are neces-
sary to carry a majority in the house OF
commons. The conservatives must
have the support of every anti-home
rule liberal to defeat the Parnellites and
the home rule liberals. This vote they
cannot get. The anti-hOme ruler lib
erals will not vote coercion. The home
rule liberals and the Psrnellites must Sc
cure the vote OF the anti-home rule lib
erals to defeat coercion on the part OF
the conservatives. This they will get
but cannot get that vote for home rule
bill. Parliament is at dead lock and
will so remain until after another appeal
to the country, at least so far as Irish
home rule is concerned.

The disagreements between the two
branches OF congress are not an edifying
spectacle to the country. The differ
ences appear to be not only radical but
irreconcilable. The house seems to de-
light in making such changes in all
measures, originating In the senate. as
to make it impossible for that body to
accept them. Committees Of confer
ence are appointed in vain, and their
patched up truces are not acceptable to
either body. Bills are sent backward
and forward from senate to house, and
from house to senate, amended and
reamended, and amendments are nom
concurred in, until the original authors
of the measures never could or would
recognize their bsntlings unless they
followed them by number upon the leg
islative journals. These bills are DOOM
ed to inevitable defeat when they come
up for final action. and, as a result, the
eight months session has passed and no
bills of any general Importance have
been passed. The experiment of con-
gress with one democratic and one re-
publican branch is a mugwumpish affair
for which the country has no special
use. The country waits and waits i'm
patiently for congress to adjourn.

The EUROPEAN war cloud does not
lessen in its ominous portents as the
days go by. France has taken posi-
lively exasperating attitude towards
Germany. Her minister Of war is de-
ci6edly self-asserting and very popular,
conspiouously patriotic and very jealous
Of French honor. 1t may be that the
fiery nature Of the national spirit has in
vested the rising general with qualities
which he does not possess, but it cannot
be denied that he has suddenly awak-
ened a military ardor In France that has
not been witnessed before In a genera
ton. The recent discovery that the
Germans have been secretly training car
rier pigeons in France, presumably for
war purposes, has not had quieting
effect upon the French nerves. These
facts, taken In connection with the clos
ing Of the port of Batoum by Russia,
and the completion Of her railway
through the Merv desert ; also, with the
refusal Of Austria to permit newspaper
correspondents to witness her military
maDoeuvres this fall all 60 to deepen the
anxiety that is felt for the peace Of
Europe. Should hostilities be opened In
any quarter, there seems every reason
to conclude that It would involve at
least three OF the great powers in de-
vastating war before 1t would close, and
in that time the entire face OF Europe
might be politically changed.

The Houston Post takes righteous ex-
ceptions to the gsrbled statements and
false impressions arising therefrom that
have been scattered broadcast over
Texas concerning the Harris county
convention. No one who read the pro-
ceedings Of that convention could doubt
for a moment that as q matter OF pure
upadulterated fact Swain had the call
over any one man in the state as guDer-
material candidate. The entire COM
bipation could do no more than defeat
the motion to instruct for him by vote
OF six in q total Of one hundred and
eighty-six. This fact alone is sufficient
to demonstrate the absolute untruthful-
ness Of such reports as appeared in the
San Antonio Times and in the Waco Ex-
aminer concerning the outcome at Hous-
ton. In the face and eyes Of such vote
as Swain commanded In that convention
to say that the nominating committee
reported an almost solid Ross delegation
is simply misleading, and wilfuily so.
The whole intent Of such reports is to
make capital against Swain and send his
friends into the convention disheartened
and defeated before the real tug OF war
opens. On the other hand, it is hoped
that thereby the Ross following will be
made to appear so much stronger than
1t really lie that the convention can be
stampeded his way on the first ballot,
the Ross men knowing that on this de-
ponds their hope Of victory. 1t is now
conceded that unless Ross Is. nominated
on the first or second ballot he has no
chance of carrying the convention. His
friends have made war upon Swain and
Martin and Giddings SO unrelentlessly
that once the followers OF these men
have an opportunity to mass their forces
Ross will make no farther Roadway.
The bitterness of the candidacy before
the convention precludes the possibility
Of any hearty union after 1t, and 1t may
be written down as the conclusion Of
fair judgment that the democracy OF
this state, this year, are hopelessly
divided among themselves.
