The Tory Ministry's Predicament.

Soon after the opening Of the present ses-
sion OF Parliament, Lord SALISBURY in
formed his supporters assembled at the Carl
ton Club that adjournment was not to be
thought o fbefore the passage Of two meas
ures. namely, tho Tlthes bill, little thing
OF his own, and the Land Purchase bill, an
invention OF his kinsman, Mr.. A. J. Ball
FOUR. 1t is now the middle OF June, yet
the prospect Of carrying either of these bills
through the House of Commons seems far
distant, to say nothing Of the time needed
for even a perfunctory discussion of them
in the House Of Lords. What complexities
the situation Is the peremptory demand
put forward by Mr.. GosoHEN, tho Liberal
Unionist Chancellor OF the Exchequer, that,
whatever may be done with the measures
above mentioned, the Cabinet shall render
inheXible support to his Licensing bill,
which involves the payment OF compensa-
ton to publicans whose licenses may be
withheld.
There are four ways of escape from the
dilemma In which the Tory Ministers now
find themselves, but every one Of these Is
Objectionable to some member OF the Cabinet,
or some faction Of It's supporters. 1t might
be possible to pass all Of the bills named by
q ruthless enforcement of the closure and
prolongation Of the session into the autumn.
But tho Tory squires do not want the ses-
sion protracted beyond August at the
furthest, while both Lord SALISBURY and
Mr.. BALFoUR are too far-sighted not to see
that the fewer precedents they offer for
rigorous application of the gag. the better
for the Tories, in view OF Mr.. GLADsroNE's
nhnhI tod, yNb = h. oIoIo
The second expedient Is to throw over one
or more Of the three bills. but 1t Is not easy
to determine which of them shall be sacrl-
feed. Mr.. GosCHEN might witness with equa-
nimity the abandonment OF the Land Pur-
chase bill, but, on the other hand. many OF
the Tories. represented by the Daily Chroni-
Gle and 81. James's Gazette, would much per-
fer to see his Licensing bill made the vic
tim OF the existing exlgency. The third
proposal is to carry all three OF the bills az
far as possible at the present session, and
then, at the next regular session in 1891. to
take them up, not de nopo but at the point
which they had previously reached. The
fourth ezpedient would be an autumn ses-
sion. which would be particularly odious to
the Tory sportsmen. although they have
had to submit to an imposition OF the kind.
According to tho latest kilograms the Cab
met L. inclined to throw over the Land Pur-
chase bill on the plausible ground that its
minute and elaborate provisions would rem
der 1t impracticable to press it rapidly
through the committee stage. 1t is certain.
however. that the Liberal Unionists will pro-
test vigorously against the abandonment OF
that measure. which they regard as an In
IL. n atVNta
ton to fulfil It's promise to carry through
some substantive legislation for Ireland. AS
Mr.. BALFoUR agrees with them, 1t may DO
thatat the last moment Lord SALISBURY will
determine to adhere TO tho bill The Times
insists that the Ministers should first con-
Oontrate their energies on tho passage OF

under rulings OF tho Treasury Department will prove
as disastrous TO the business Of the country aid the
surrepttously inserted decentralization clause OF the
bill Of 1879. The measure IL ono drawn by HARRISON
and WINDOW both bitter enemies OF silver and friends

The Democratic journals throughout the
West and South are almost as solid In this
sentiment as the 119 Democratic Representa-
tives who voted with Mr.. BLAND In Congress.
The recent episode with Mr.. CRAWFORD
suggests tho query whether in 1892 the OK
President will make the effort to prove his
silver letter of 1885 to be forgery. The
chances are that he would incline to regard
Its authenticity to be 80 hopelessly incon-
testable ms to call for brazen resolution
to tell the truth. And so even the silver
question has It's ludlcrous element.

| the Licensing bill, for the reason that 1t Is
now uppermost In thepublic mind. The ar
gument does not strike one as cogent, seeing
that the widespread attention directed to
this measure Is largely due to the lively
opposition which it has excited even in the
Tory ranks. That many OF the Tories,
however, look with favor on the proposal to
compensate publicans for the loss Of licenses
has been clearly shown by recent Incident.
1t will be remembered that the demonstra-
ton In Hyde Park against the compensa-
ton clause Of the Licensing bill was some
what rudely interfered with by the Metro
polltan police Reprimanded by the Home
Secretary for his conduct In this matter, Mr..
JAMES MUNRO, Chief Of Police, resigned
Now we hear that some thirty Conservatives
have banded together for the purpose OF ex-
pressing their disapproval OF the Home
Secretary, and are trying to persuade some
OF tho Liberal-Untonlsts to cooperate with
them In tho matter. As the Gladstonians
and Parnellltes would be only too glad OF
an opportunity Of dealing Mr.. MATTHEWS
blow, 1t 10 by no means improbable that he
may be forced to resign.
There seems to be no doubt that the posi-
ton Of the Unionist coalition has been ma
teriaIly weakened since the beginning OF the
present session. The Government has lost
some friends by the Tithes bill, which, being
a compromise, could not be expected to
greatly please any Of the parties interested,
while the Land Purchase bill is vehemently
denounced by the Ulster Orangemen. But
tho resistance to those measures is feeble
compared with the cyclone OF opposition
aroused by the proposition to compen-
safe liquor sellers at the public cost for
the loss of licenses. All the moral forces
OF Great Britain are enlisted against the
assumption that publicans have vested In
terest In the sale Of drink. Mr.. GLADSTONE
has put himself at the head OF the national
uprising, although, curiously enough, the
representatives OF the liquor interest In
Ireland have endeavored to influence MIR.
PARNEI1 in an opposite direction. 1t is not
likely, however, that the Irish leader will.
for the sake OF putting money in the peck
cts Of liquor dealers, forego the most prom
ising opportunity Of beating the Tory Gov
eminent which has been presented since the
opening Of this Parliament in 1885.

Some Democrats and Silver.

The present situation gives an interest
hitherto uneQualled to the deliverance Of an
elected President, In 1885, upon the then
vital but now burning topic Of silver. That
momentous document. addressed ito the
Hon. A. J. WARNER and Others members OF
Congress-" ended with this peroration to the
Golden Goddess:
"Ihops that you concur with and with the great
majority of fellow citizens In deemina It most de-
srable at tho present Iuncture to maintain and
tnue in use the mass Of gold coin, well the
mass of silver already coined. This Is possible by

ALBANY FEB II 1883 "GHoyER CLEVELAND"
At that time, among Democratic journals,
THE SUN was the only really aggressive
worker for the rehabilitation OF silver.
But now far more interesting contrast
with this CLEVELAND view appears In the
newspapers that have shouted the harder for
"CLEvELAND In 1892 " the lower his mlnori-
ty sank below the victory point in 1888.
For example. the most deeply hypnotized
crank OF all the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES party

Harriaon's Disposition to Return to Indi-
ana Much Ahead as Possible.

From ne Chtcd0o Herald
! WASHINGTON, June s.-The present o. q sea-
side cottage to Mrs. Harrison by Postmaster
General Wanamaker and other wealthy men
| Of Philadelphia has been the subject Of much
| unfavorable comment and criticism hers. 1t
| was believed the gift enterprise business had
| played out in Presidential families since Grant
| was so much criticised for accepting valuable
presents. and Republicans are much annoyed
that the Harrisons should be the first TO revive
1t. They say that while there Is nothing dis
graceful or corrupt about accepting such pres
ents, It is In bad taste and has been condemned
by public sentiment.
This is not the first time the Harrisons have
offended in this respect. II Is we'll known that
when the President came to Washington he
accepted a gift OF several fine carriages from q
Western manufacturing firm. The Harrisons
are making q valiant effort TO save big lot Of
money out Of their salary. They live economi-
cally at the White House. do their shopping at
Baltimore, New York. and Philadelphia. where
prices are lower than in Washington. and i'm
port many OF their household necessities in
bulk from the country. 1t Is said Mrs.
Harrison has made her boasts that BENJAMIN
will leave the White House 100000 richer than
when he came into it. and 1t appears that
free summer at Deer Park, a present from the
Dsvises and Elkinses. and a free cottage by
the sea, a gift from Wanamaker and others.
are part OF the programme OF economy.
Never before, II Is said, was the White House
run SO economically The staff Of servants is
unusually small. and Mrs Harrison watches
every item Of expense as carefully as was her
wont In private life One Of the official staff at
the White House is authority for the statement
that even Rutherford B. Hayes spent two dol
lars in the White House where BENJAMIN Har-
rson spends one. Hayes set up no wines or
liquors, but he did not spare EXPENSE in other
directions. Single entertainments given by
him cost $500. President Harrison serves
wines at state dinners. but they are not OF ex-
pensivs vintages. Some OF the Senatorial and
diplomatic connoisseurs say unpleasant and
ungracious things about the wines which they
tasted at the White House.
queer story has been brought out by the
gossip about the gift cottage 1t Is to the eff
feet that new bank, started by a coterie o.
Washington spectators and flnanciers. IL
using as an advertisement the fact that Presi-
dent Harrison is one OF its deposltors. One Of
the directors Of this bank says a deposit was
placed to the Presidents credit by unknown
parties, and the belief Ia that the directors
have made the deposit and sent the bank book
to the President for advertising purposes.
