otherwise the main lines of the former treaty
which Portugal angrily rejected. This peppery
little pewer gets the low lying lands where the
natives car work but Europeans cannet. not
even the Portuguese. Lord Salisbury was asKed
from motives of philanthropy to rescue these un-
happy natives from Portuguese rule, which IS ol

That in his mind closes the controversy. New

Some fresh light appears on the Russian perse-
cution Of the Jews The Emperors real aim IS
now said 10 be 10 drive them all back within the
pale; within, that is, those districts where long

their way abroad There is, however, less fear OF
a general exodus. Mr.. Arnold White, Baron
Hirschs agent telegraphs 10 Lord Rothsohlid that
there is no sign of emigration in a body TO Eng
lsnd Perhaps not but neither is there any sign
Of any relaxation of Russian intolerance and
cruelty.
Mr. Parnell is at issue with Archbishop Creke
mn the onestion whether Home Rule be or be not

needful TO add Irishman though he be- that he
did not kill it. IT, added he, /" it possible

killed it, Nothing can really kill it unless you lay
aside your independence, your Irish public spirit
and leave your future in the hands of an English
political party or political leader. Then, indeed,
would Irish liberty be lost" 1t is fine passage
in its way but these recriminations between the
Irish bishop and the Irish leader leave us where
they found us. Mr.. Parnell's struggle is gallant

There are those who think that when Mr.
OBrien and Mr. Dillon come out of prison the
face of Irish affairs will be changed and Mr.
Parnells relations to Irish politics will he changed

be made TO compromise the dispute which on both

the Irish clergy are the two enemies OF conpro-

The exchange of compliments between Mr. Par-

again to the surface in the person of Sir Charles

concern TO two branches of the Gladstonian party.
There is one branch which recognizes adultery,
especially when coupled with odiOus debauchery
and a long course of unmanly conduct, as per-
manent disqualification for public life. There
is another branch, perhaps more numerous, which,
on grounds of political eXpediency would stlile
these scandals and the authors Of them together.
Both are dismayed by what is called the final de-
eision of Sir Charles Dixie to accept the invitation
Of the Forest of Dean constituency 70 stand for
