OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.

The Salisbury Government will enter upon
a new session of Parliament to-day Ill high
spirits and with definite policy. The only
important by-election since the adjournment
has gone against the Opposition, and there are
no new signs of popular reaction against coer-
cion The alliance between the Conservatives
and the Liberal Unionists has been strength
encd by the Governments resolute enforce
mcnt of the Crimes Act. There are a few
dcserters from the UniOnst ranks but the main
| body OF the harrington and Chamberlain Lib
erals are fully committed TO the Government
policy. That policy is bold and progressive
one in relation TO English interests. The Irish
block on the legislative train is to be removed.
The track is TO be cleared by the passage of
new rules Of procedure by which bare major
Ity of the House will be armed with the power
Of closing debate and divisions can be sum-
marily called for at midnight. When Obstruc-
lion is ciTcctualy prevented, large measures of
local government reform for London and the
United Kingdom with the exception of Ireland
arc to be brought in. This is the programme
for the session, and for the purposes of the
Government it is good one There are no
radical differences Of opinion between COnserv-
atives and Liberals respecting local govern
ment reform. If the Irish debates can be sus-
pended, the Ministers apparently will have
little difficulty in obtaining the support of the
Unionists when their scheme Of English legls-
Jation is produced. The majority for the
Government, unless all signs fail, will not be
materially reduced during the present session.
The opponents of Home Rule are fighting
with persistency and a courage characteristic
of the English nation. They are aware that
this is the last stand that can be made against
the Irish cause, and that the premature over
throw of the present Government will be fol-
lowed by the establishment of separate Leg
islature They are hoping that both Mr.. Glad
stone and Mr.. Parncll will be disabled in voice
or health before the term of the present
Parliament expires in 1892 They arc lighting
for time, and are anxious above all things to
carry new legislative measures and to furnish
the constituencies with new topics for discus
sion which do not relate to Ireland. They
expect to wear out both Mr.. Gladstone and Mr..
PaInell before appealing to the country. This
is the Unionist policy. 1t may prove disas-
trous failure long before August, but the pres
cnt trend of events and tendencies in English
politics does not indicate that result. The
faith and patience Of the Home Rule allies are
to be severely tried during this eventful session.

MOTHER LUClD SPEECH.

Senator Platt's speech On the Presidents
message ranks with Senator Sherman's and
senator Fryes defences of protection. 1t is
the closest and most logical tariff argument
that has been heard in Washington since De-
ccmber opened, and it is not likely to be
answered from the Democratic side. since the
Senator has chosen his ground deliberately. and
entrenched his position so strongly with facts
and statistics as TO render 1t impregnable. This
is one of the great speeches of the session.
which ought to be put into the hands of think
ing men of both parties before next November
It's main purpose is to prove that the Presidents
message proposes to take of the protective
features of the tariff. and consequently is free
trade proclamation. Not content with quoting
MIR. Hurd's, Mr.. Watterson's and Mr. Lowell's
comments upon II, nor with proving that it

he falls back upon Professor Summers econo-
mic definitions and shows that the President
Is wholly In accord with the free-trade doctrin-
aires. He cites sentence after sentence. pas
sage after passage In proof Of his assertion
that the President argues the case. not only for
the Free Traders but as they argue 1t them
selves, and that his aim In the message is to
compass the destruction Of the protective sys-
tenn There Is likely to be so much Juggling
with words over tho text Of the message be-
fore the campaign closes this year, that it is
fortunate that the Senator has taken the pains
to render this point indisputable.
The Senator'S criticism Of the message be-
comes terribly destructive when he reaches
passages in which the manufacturers are openly
and directly attacked as combinations and
"trusts" which are robbing the people. He
shows that the great trusts about which the
country is exercised are not to be found in the
ranks of the manufacturers; that there are
cattle, wheat and railway "kings," but the
word is never applied to manufacturer; and
that there are oil syndcates and coal trusts.
without protection from the tariff. but no com
binations Of millionaire manufacturers whose
interests are protected by the tariff. He as
scrts that American manufacturers certainly
make no more money than English nanufact-
urers. whose business interests the President
is DESTROYS of promoting, and less than the
merchants and other classes of business men.
The Senator's analysis of the results of surrcn-
dering American markets to foreigners is
the United States will be injured by free trade
not only artisans, but agricnlturists as well
and those engaged in transportation and mer-
chandise. The speech is most logical and
comprehensive in its treatment Of the subject
and is admirable alike in form and substance
II is a weighty argument that will powerfully
influence public opinion in the Presidential
canvass.
