New York Herald Cable-Special to the
BEE. THE test of Lord Salisbury's states
manship will be the clearness with which he
perccyes the greatness OF his advantage and
the lirmHes, with which he seizes the oppor-
tunity offered to him of eiTecting patriotic
and imperial solution OF the perennial OF
the Irish discomfort" These are the con
cluding words of an article on "Thc Pros
poets OF the Cabinet of the Union" which
appears in the Pail Mall Gazette tonight
The Pail Mall now gives a sort of general
SUPPORT TO IHE SALISBURY ADMINIsTRA-
TION.
don't agree with the general argument of
the Pail Mall but quite admit that Lord
Salisbury has great advantages just now, and
that if lac can really effect patriotic and i'm
perial solution of the problem of Irish discon-
tent he will have proved his craftsmanship.
But most OF the volunteer advisers OF Lord
Salisbury tell him to take no account of the
Irish people in their suggestions as to the
management of Ireland. There is great jul
bilation over the possibility of Il prince of the
blood royal being sent to Ireland as lord
lieutenant.
TIE pArERs' WILD snRIEKs.
That is just the sort of thing several
journals scrprm out. Don't abandon the
field TO Mr. Parnell and his agitatorS. Com
pete with them for popularity. Establish
court in Dublin around which all that is best
in society all over Ireland will gather, and
there you are. Don't you see" Well, |, for
one, don't see it at all. The man who re-
ally believes that the Irish people can
be weaned or won from the ma
tional cause by court in Dublin,
presided over by a real prince, is about as
wise aS the magistrate in "Barnaby Rudge,"
who suggested that the sight of an alderman
might ovcrawc the London crowd. 81 know
what you want" says the duchess to the hat,
painting, thirsty Alice in Wonderland; You
want dry buscut.'
IRELAND is HOT
painting and thirsty for her national right to
make her own laws, and somebody
tells her he knows what she
wants, and offers her very dry biscuit
in the form Of prncey viceroy. 1t is very
likely that what is called society" would
rally around the royal prince at Dublin cas-
tie. What is called society everywhere is
rather a snobbish, unthinking sort of crew.
In Ireland it is especially snobbish
and untbinklng. Let it rally to
anyone it likes. The Irish people
will stand coldly outside and rally to
their own cause. If Lord Salisbury has
else's to act upon than this, he may give up
the attempt to govern Ireland. For myself,
! believe that if he has not better counsel
now he will come to have it in time.
TIE CALLING OF PARLIAMENT.
Parliament will be called together in few
days, and as we now hear VIII not be a mere
formal gathering, but will get through great
deal of money business, if it can, and then
adjourn at the ordinary time, with session
in the early part of February. There is a
good deal of reckoning without ones host in
all this. What Salisbury wishes to do is TO
get the whole winter to think over his policy
forlreland and to come before parliament near
the end of the year with some distinct
scheme. Thus he would escape the necessity
of saying anything for the moment about
coercion, and would tide over the general
Irish question for some months more. If the
radicals and Irish see good reason to let him
have his own way, of course he can
have il. If he were to announce
positively that he has no thought of
coercion in the present condition of Ireland,
and that he was determined to come forward
next season with some scheme or other for
the settlement of the Irish question, then,
indeed, it is quite possible that it might be
the policy of the radical and Irish party to
give MN MS lnleINal OF time.
WILL. ASK AN EXPLANATION.
But it seems to me hardly probable that he
will De allowed te come before parliament
next week, merely TO declare the want of
certain sums of money TO be voted and
get all he asks for without being called up.
on forany explanation of the course he in
tends to take with Ireland. doubt whether
the voting of supply would be
quite SO short and formal a
process under such circumstances as
Lord Salisbury and some OF his friends seem
TO believe. Already Ire is in dilemma. If
he does not promise some sort of coercion
certain of his followers, especially the Irish
landlords, in both houses of parliament will
turn upon him and rend him. If he does not
dlsayow coercion he will ALLEVIATE at the
very beginning his dear friends, the liberal
secessionsts, TO whom he owes so much.
am sure Salisbury is personally q humane
and
KIND HEATED MAN,
but cannot help thinking he would well
come with certain delight-at all events with
sense of relief--the news of q great out
break of agraran murder in Ireland, which
would cut the gordian knot for him.
Coercion? Yes; of course you shall have
it. We meant to give it all through" he
coulu declare To MS landlord supporters
"You see, we can't help it; we would
gladly have done without it, but here are
these murderers, here are these outrages; ouI

liberal secessonists. The Irish people will
not help him ont of his dilemma. Every
lrshman who loves his country will do his
utmostto
KEEP ORDER AND PEACE.
At such crisis we shall dsappont oul
enemies. Salisbury shall have no preteXt on
which to excuse that policy of coercion
about which he Dragged so Justify few
weeks ago concerning which he is so much
embarrassed and frightened now In any

threats of coercion much in the spirit as TX

There will be no coercion this time. Hel
