LIVELY TIMES PROMISED.
Tactics of the Tories in the Coming Session
of Parliament.

o.
of Parliament.
Although the opening of the British parlia-
ment is still eight weeks distant the conserva-
tive party is already on the scene with three
amendments to the address in reply to the
speech from the throne. One amendment at
tacks the Irish evicted tenants commission,
another relates to the distress Of the agricui-
tural classes and the third relates to the waver-
ing policy Of the government with regard to
Uganda. Besides these there are other amend
ments under discussion. Although the general
run of the amendments must depend upon the
announcements made in the queens speech, it
is evident that these will prolong the discussion
on the address, thus obstructing the work of
parliament, and that the object Is to test the
strength Of the government.
A prominent liberal member of parliament
said yesterday: 1--WE expect the warmest time
any parliament has seen since the discussion of
the reform bill of 1882"
What threatens to make matters worse for
members personally is the fact that the rela-
tons between the parties embittered
that the party whips" decline to try to ar
range pairs. In the last parliament the Glad
stonians refused to pair with the liberal union
lists, but they assented to arrangements with
conservatives. Now the liberal Whips find that
neither section Of the opposition will pair with
liberals. The result will be that every member
will be kept in constant attendance in the house
of commons for fear the governments narrow
majority may be submerged by some trifiing
vote. The whole Irish party, many of the MEM
bers of which have been in the habit of absent
ing themselves unless specially whipped up to
vote on an Irish question, will be obliged to re-
main constantly on the defensive. IL they per-
sist in their former custom of going to Ireland
on the excuse OF urgent personal business, the
government is certain to be defeated within
one month after the opening of the session.
The solid confidence of the Irish leaders in Mr..
Gladstone is apparent. and also the absolute
unity of policy among the McCarthyites. There
is, therefore, every reason for the belief that
the party whips will bring every man to the
house on the opening of parliament, and will
keep ell there until home rule is decided one

Gov.-elect Osborn Of Wyoming yesterday
morning. accompanied by several men. went to
the capitol building and asked the janitor to
show him into the executive rooms.
The janitor refused to let him in without tho
authority of the acting governor. Osborn sent
for a carpenter and ordered him to open a win
dow leading to the legislative chamber. By the
use of a large chisel the window casing was re-
moved, the sash thrown up, and the party took
possession, and Osborn announced himself as
governor, saying that he had taken the oath Of

Senator Hill.

The late democratic candidate for governor
of New Hampshire was a preacher, the Rev.
Luther F. Mckinney of Manchester. He is tho
most popular democrat in his state, and though
defeated at the recent election it would be a
great mistake to consider his political career as
ended. Mckinney Is an Ohio man. He served
in the Ohio cavalry during the war. his highest
rank being that of sergeant At the close Of
the war he went west to Iowa and grew up with
the country. He was farmer fer a while IN
Iowa; then went to college in New York: later
became a clergyman and removed TO Maine,
where he came to be known as 1.-The Parson. -
IN 1873 he settled in New Hampshire. where he
has since resided. Soon after settling in New
Hampshire he began TO take hand in politics
In 1884 he ran for Congress on the democratic
ticket and was beaten. In 1886, not whit dis
cOuraged, he moved on the enemy for the second
time and was elected by small majority In
1SSS he ran for the third time and was defeated
but 1880 found him again at the starting post
and he won handily on the home stretch. In
Congress, though aggressive and full Of fight
be was very popular among his fellow members.
Parson Mckinney is a man who does not know
when he is whipped, and in the late campaign

stantly on the move. should New Hampshire

excitement in Madrid there vas nothing what
ever to Justify the assertion that the populsce 10

was occasioned By a report that the anarchists
had again commenced their outraees. This re-

remained MI. Beecher is fond of calling him

scribes his character and career. He has all

Not total abstinence. but temperance; not the

esquely handsome man, and as speaker is
always interesting and always unconventional
Wholly fearless in the expression of his views,
he has for many years carefully watched the
march OF events and spoken his mind thereon
without fear or favor The commencement of
his political career was coincident with the
birth of the republican party. and he has been
a candidate at one time or another for nearly
every office within the gift of the American peo-
republicans. the democrats, the greenbackers
and the prokibitionists have all nominated him
To high Office, and he has never declined a nomi-
nation, believing that a good citizen should
never seek or refuse Office. Some years ago he
was nominated for mayor of Elmira, and would
have been elected had not the male members Of
his church. fearing 10 lose so excellent a pastor

Office than he would in securing the Office
