AFFAIRS ABROAD.

The contest for the seat vacated at the
death Of Parnell is as acrimonious and riot
Gus as the election of Hennessy In North
hhkenny was sometime ago. In that cam
psign Parnell was nearly blinded, someone
having thrown lime into his eyes. This
time, at Cork, it is Dillon who Is crippled.
ANA speaking of North Kilkenny, which
last spring practically sealed the fate of
Farneii, 1t is significant thhl the successor

The position is this There are now
twenty eight Parnellites who have hoisted

among them are 7. Harrington and John
Redmond. Harrington, who is intimately
acquainted with the real financial state of
the party, is Inclined toward peace. The

of them have to receive pecuniary support

The anti-Parnellites number fifty three,

speakers of the old party, men who know
how to run the parliamentary machine, are
in this section. Here are TO be found Messrs.

Of the former. The Parnellites have no

PROBABLE NEW IRISH SECRETARY.

Will be jackson, a somewhat dull man, but OBJ
stinate and hard-hearteQ. He is one OF Lord
Randolph ChurchiIl's discoveries. He is
in business as a tanner at Leeds, but of
course is not an active partner. While in
office he was a slow, heavy, poor speaker.
a bureaucrat by nature he will probably
do his best to avoid coming into collision
with the Irish party and to lead quiet life.
No one will ever accuse him of brilliancy,
but he will do his work in a humdrum,
plodding way. After King Stork comes

THE PRINCE OF WALES BIRTHDAY.
The Prince of Wales will celebrate his
flftieth birthday on November 9th. There
is TO be great family gathering at Sand
bingham, and, according to present indics-
tons, the mansion will not be large enough
TO hold the presents of which the Prince
will he the happy recipient. Kaiser Will
helms gift is said to be worth 100, 900 marks,
and it will be presented by Prince Henry
of Prussia-an arrangement probably in
tended TO convince the world that uncle and
nephew are now the best of friends.
STILL RAINING IN ENGLAND.
The astonishing rainfall of the past month
has produced floods all over England, IN
equaled since 1915. Windsor castle looked
like a piratical sea robbers stronghold, sur
rounded by lake as far as the eye could
reach. Citizens were rowing about the
streets of Bath in boats. Numerous cases
of the suspension of railway service were
reported last week,
A TRIBUTE TO JOHN BRIGHT.
John Morley presided at the ceremony of
unwilling a statue of John Bright al Roch-
Gale. An enormous crowd gathered to pay
tribute TO the departed orator and states
man. After the unwilling Mr.. Morley de-
iror inf ho
hall an elaborate eulogy upon the great
commoner. He held that the great secret
of Brghts matchless oratory and of its
power over the masses was the moral fer
vor beating like pulse under the array of
spoken words, warming political objects
into moral objects, and sending current
of moral ideas like the Gulf Stream, enrich
ing political discussion, nourishing it and
making it alive.
1t was during the civil war in America
MIR. Morley said, that men saw Bright's
highest and greatest gifts at their best.
The force of his vision and his hopes for
the advance of mankind were never more
keen and masculine; the strength of his ar
Fuments never so massive and so exalted;
the power Of his language never SO COM
manding and SO pathetic as during that
mighty struggle. Remembering the i'm
preston be made on the public opinion of
his country at that moment of supreme i'm
portance to the relations between England
and the United States, we might well say
that Bright was one of those who have
turned the balance Of great events.
SEVERE on GLADSTONE.
Chamberisin's speech at Sunderland has
created considerable irritation in the Glad
stone camp He declared tnat if he could
consider nothing but the interests Of party,
he should like nothing better than TO see
MIR. Gladstone get the majority he desires,
land that he should be allowed once more
to show what an awful mess he would make
CT our AFFAIRS The phrase, though ex-
pressive, is hardly elegant. Then he pro-
ceeds after this fashion:
Il venture to say that six months would
be enough. Six months would once more
involve US in foreign complications. Six
months would plunge Ireland back again
into disorder and anarchy. Six months
would let loose all those petty jealousies
md all the contending creeds, politics and
fallRcies now repressed in the opposition.
