The tithe is a dry subject but Welsh loyalty
and Church Disestablishment are bound up Wild

outburst against the Queen. " H. sald thls

TO visit Wales without being hoOted III colse-
ouence of the rascality above mentioned, she
NAV be thankful The rascality above men
toned is simply the Tithc bill, now dead. MI.
Gee is a considerable person, the chairman OF
the Denbigh County Council an editor and
leading Non-Conformist. Another editor writes:
Plain speaking is best We plainly say that
the tithe is a useful lever for upsetting the
Establishment The people must keep hold OF
hara he
The Queen, however, is really going TO Wales
next week and we shall then know whether
Mr.. Gee is the man to execute his threat OF
hooting her through the counties.
The tithes have stood in the way of the Irish
estimates Yet the week has not been allowed
10 pass without some lively Irish scenes. Sir
William Harcourt whose smoOthness cf tongue
is proverbjal. has admonished Mr. Balfour against
the use of irritating language, and Mr.. Cox has
backed up this remonstrance by challenging MIR.
Balfour TO step outside, and when this invitation
was declined by calling him cowardly skunk -
a remark which was allowed TO pass without
rebuke probably because it unhrard in the
confusion. Mr. Healy has made a Characteristic
speech He possesses the secret of being bitter
and amusing at the same time The British
Museum officials have been attacked because they
allowed the Museum newspaper files to be used
in the Parnell Commission. Vainly did the
Attorney General urge that they were in the
custody Of the court, and were accessible TO both
sides. Mr.. Healy protested that he had himself
been obliged TO go to Mr.. SOames's office when
he wanted TO Sec them. This indignity WAS
more than he could stomach Such are some
of the soemnities which have occupied the British
Parliament Mr.. Conybeare. too, and Dr. Tanner
are objects of solicitude, account of prison
hardships, but Mr.. Balfour insists that they are
quite comfortable.
Another shot has been exchanged in the duel
between Mr.. Chamberlain and Lord Randolph
