LONDON, Juno 2s.-The ship OF state has had
moro tossing about this week and has been
saved from laundering only by iettisoning

waiting among tho crew has found vent In
loud cry for change Of Captain, but the mutt
neers cannot even agree rs to who Ia best
fitted for the post. some want Lord Harting-
ton, the ensy- going, rleasure-ovlng indoent

Unionist party. but harrington. although Lord
Salisbury holds his written promise to Join tho
Government in case OF a grave emergency, Is

Any Unionst joining the Government row

but Stimulates coyness Churchill Is prepared to
stem into the breach. but considers himself too
great man to accept anything less than the
post OF Prime Minister. Nobody denies that
the change must be made, and that quickly,
and the probabilities point TO BalIour as the
First Lord OF the Treasury and leader Of the
party in the lower House.
Unfortunately the prospects OF change OF
Ministry are poor. The present travesty OF
Government has not enough pluck left TO fight
and suffer defeat. Every time 1t is called upon
to come up to the marx it lifts It's trembling,
almost palsed hands. with ludicrous show
OF bravery. and then runs away. Its digestive
capacity for snubs. insults, and humiliations
is unlimited, and it Is hard to say when the
stage of repleton will be reached.
The proposals to compensate liquor sellers
at the expense OF Taxpayers have at length
been formally and completely abandoned as
was foreshadowed in this correspondence from
the day they were introduced The Irish Land
Purchase bill has been deferred to next ses-
sion. and the Tithes bill. the remaining meas
ure OF the three promised In the Queens
speech at the opening OF the session. will
probably in whole or part suffer similar fate.
But even now the necessary business conten-
lions and non contentious remaining to be
denlt with are SO extensive that the prospect
OF an autumn session Is seriously discussed.
The interesting feature of the week has been
the resignation OF MIR. Cnine, tho Liberal
Unionist member for Barrty, as a protest
against the Government licensing proposals.
A disposition is manifested to regard this gen.
tleman as q hero and martyr. but he Is really a
very commonplace person. He knows that
general election is not far off. and wants to be
whitewashed. He Is fanatical temperance
reformer, and has shown consistency upon
that question alone. In other resi- octs. during
tho past four years. he has glorifed the Gov
eminent in season and out OF sea-
son. and has supported it in It's most
reactionary proceedings. No Tory has
given BaIfour more unfiinching support in CO.
ercing Ireland. and Home Secretary Matthews
has received his vote in every protest against
dragooning Londoners. Caine calculated,
however. that the Liberals out OF pure graft
tude at hi1 voting and speaking against the
Government unon one particular question.
would secure his reelection. and that his conf
dence was not without justification was proved
by the fact that Gladstone and some other
leaders urged the Liberal electors at Barrow
TO support him. Happily, sturdier counses
have prevailed. and Caine Is now fighting
against the Liberal and Tory candidates. The
result will almost certainly be the election Of
the Tory. with Game at the bottom Of the poll,
thus teaching the rank and file OF the Liberal
unionists lesson which may induce some Of
tho less deeply dyed to find salvation In time
by repudiating coercion and reactionary legis-
lation and accepting home rule.
