LONDON, Jan. 12.-When parliament
reopens next month 1t will be found
that the supporters of the government
have not been idle during the recess,
nor the frequent cabinet meetings held
in vain. Lord Salisbury's statement
that in order to be a good government
it is necessary to rule vigorously and
be able to enforce it's laws, will find still
greater exemplification, if that is posi-
BILE, during the coming session both in
respect to the government of beleagured
Ireland and the house of commons. The
government will direct their first efforts
in the house towards increasing the
potency OF the clOture rule. that de-
lightfully effective method of declining
to hear anything disagreeable in the
way Of discussion on governmental
actions and projects. Although this
gag law was applied very frequently
during the last session of parliament, it
appears that too many plain statements
which were offensive to the delicately
attuned ears of the Tories were allowed
to find utterance. This will be remedied
hereafter and the rule made more
stringent, so that the government
will be able to pursue their
present policy without hearing
the diagreeable questions it
gives rise to. After settling the cloture
rule they will give their attention to the
local government bill, which is as yet
unprepared owing to the dissent eX-
pressed by the Unionists on many
points. The bill in its present state in
cludes scheme for Ireland, nothing re-
gardlng Scotland and next to nothing
for England. 1t provides for local
magistrates being eX-officio members of
the board OF guardians thus maintain
ing class distinctions in local affairs.
This feature is especially distasteful to
a large number, and if the Tories are
stubborn on this and some other points
they will succeed in alternating many
OF those who would otherwise be their
supporters but who are DESTROYS of hay
ing democratic local government. The
speech which Lord Salisbury made at
Liverpool disappoints even his Tory
friends who have heard the thread-bare
statements he gave vent to until they
are tired and worn out by their repeti-
ton. The st. James Gazette says that
1.-THE speech was made up Of matter that
udS UtcH utdIu 50 OIC6Il JIldC IL mas be-

that the premier is doing no good to the
cause of the government by delivering
such harahgueS about the country.

William was decidedly worse, and all
places which were deemed likely to have
