NJ Deloncle, who rallied at England for having
driven France out of New-Oreans. Ministers

Possibly the visit of the Austrian Emperor to The
British feet at Fiume had something to do with
the vote in the French Chamber. 1t is hardly

British public Not to the most vivid imagina-

pubic appear one of excitement. People are only
too thankful TO know that Mr.. Blaine and Lord
Salisbury have come to some agreement, they
do not much care what. and that the commis

The zeal of the convert appears once more IN

party exists in order to undergo conversions ltS
conversions have been almost as numerous as
those of him who was once described as the rising
hone of the stern, unbending Tories. There are
MANY differences of opinion on detail, and there
is the House of Lords still TO reckon with. But
it may be said that the principle of free education
has now been affirmed by both parties, and the
policy is henceforth the settled policy of the State

After two days of decorous debate, the Irish
Land bin Yesterday passed its second reading In
the House of Lords. There has been no serious
opposition partly, says the genial Radical critic,
because the Lords themselves, many of them,
are too much interested in getting a good price
for their Irish land. Lord Kimberley, In his ca
pacity as leader of the forlorn Gladstonian mi
nority. contented himself with crticsing details,
admitting that the effect of the would be
ultimately TO make the Irish tenantTy owners of
nearly the whole soil of Ireland. Lord Herschell,
whose legal authority is as high as anybodys,
gave a general approval TO the bill. So, from
different point of view, did Lord DertS, whose
mind attains nearer to impartiality than that of
any other living Englishman in politics. Lord
Salisbury met with his usual courage the Objec-

the English Government into contact, and prob

bill was read a second time without division.
Mr. Parnell resumed his Sunday discourses at
Balbrggan, name more commonly associated
with hosiery than with politics. The Irish leader
or ex-leader is now engaged In explaining to the
Irish people the benefits of the Irish Land bill
offered them by this Conservative Government;
