The government intends to summon the
house early in January and stake their fate
on he Irish local government bill. They
calculate to dissolve parliament after carry

the future of the party is leading to fur

itself discomfort is producing disorganiza-

John II. Gorste expressed contempt for
certain of his colleagues occurred in
the Manipur debate. Being obliged
officially to defend the Indian govern
ment he made a mockine apology for the
brutalties and stupidities of British rule
abroad and behind gibes at the Indian gov
ernment satyrized the imperial government.
He said Senaputty was a man of brains;
that his real crimes we're independence and
originality and that the government pre-
ferred amenable mediocrity. The accepted
Interpretation of thespeech is that Gorste,
recognizing that the period of conservative
power is about to close, is preparing for a
time when he will reassume with Lord
Randolp Churchill, an independent posi-
tioD, aiming to form and lead group
strong enough to give them eventual con-

SPR1NGFIELD, ILL.,, June 19.--Friends of
secret ballot will be greatly nhagrinned to
learn that the ballot reform bill passed by
the last assembly, as signed by the gov
ernor, shows gross error on the part of
some one. Section twenty y-nine. which pro-
vides that no ticket peddler shall be allowed
within one hundred feet of tho polls on
election day, IS missing entirely from the
bill 1t cannot now be told whether the
fault lies with the enrolling and engrossing
clerks or with the clerk of the house. There
is a difference OF opinion hero as to whether
this omission invali lates the remainder of
the bill or not, but in any event there are
now no means of rectifying the error.
