Lord Randolph Churchilps absence during the
whole debate on the Address is thought agmn-
can't. He returned two days ago. BE finds the
Ministry Of which he was once member IN

It's existence that the Parnell Commission, on
which Lord Salisbury insisted, and which Lord
Randolph opposed, has half ruined the Union
cause; and that Mr.. Psrnen has himself come

situation when Lord Randolph Quilted this island

littls interest to the Government and Of no little
importance outside Of the Government.
Time was when Lord Randolph and Mr.. Psrnel
were politically intimate. What could be more

INQUIRY, and they offer equal aid to both parties
Hitherto all the evidence given has come from one
ode. When the turn Of the other side comes the
other side will have equal facilities, or may, If
they like, have them now.
