ship had many weeks in which to premeditate
his speech as grand master of the Primrose
League. and Lord Salisbury never says
anything that is not carefully pre-
medItated. Both Liberals and Tories
acknowledge that tho Premier uttered
carefully-chosen sentences. intended to out
line the future AS well as 20 define the past
Lord Salisbury leaves no doubt that. if tho
Liberals could carry the general election and

the bill and demand another
appeal TO the country. on the ground

that the House of Lords will remain firm in
this position and will look TO the Conserva-
tlyes and Liberal Unionists for support and
sympathy.
ANOTHER GENERAL ELECTION.
II the House of Lords should be sustained
by the Crown and the minority of the House
OF Commons then there would have to be an
other general election or "A deadlock. Tho

but for Great Britain. and it should
be remembered that. in the event
of any disturbance the army and
navy are both ofhcered by Conservatives.
Should matters 90 peacefully however, an
other general election would be had. and the
Home Rule bill accepted or rejected If ac-
cepted by the election OF another Liberal ma
Iority. then the bill would presumably be
passed, and next would come, according

Ulster rebellion. That Is in order
TO achieve Irish home rule its supporters
must carry the coming election, tlep get
home rule bill through the House OF Com
mons. then carry another general election,
pass the Home Rule bill finally and be pre-
pared to deal with a rebellion IN the province
