rBY cArLE TO THE DISPATCH. I


LONDON, May T. Copyright. j. The
election for North Hackney will take place
next Wednesday and Tories and Liberals
are working with energy most remarkable,
seeing that the fight will have to be fought
over again at the general election, within q
month or two at latest. The fact is that
both sides regard this election as a test of
the political feeling of the whole of London.
and there is little doubt that if the Tories
should retain the seat by anything like
their former majority, the Government will
be encouraged to hurry the dissolution of
Parliament by few weeks. As the semi
official Standard says this morning:
There can be but few more bye-elections
before the general struggle to which the
entire nation is beginning to look forward,
and there can be no doubt that the result of
the present contest will be appealed to by
whichever side may prove the victor, as an
earnest and omen OF the general election.
As the Standard until quite recently had
contained almost daily editorials designed
10 prove that the country had no desire for
dissolution Of Parliament this year. it may
be safely assumed that it has Just received
an authoritative communication from head
quarters.
Lord Salisbury's Primrose Speech.
Lord Salisbury's speech at the great
Primrose meeting, yesterday, confirms this
belief The speech, in the main, was little
more than a replica of that delivered at
Exeter, few weeks ago 1t contained the
same denunciationS of Irish Roman Catho-
lies and the same indictments to Ulster
Oangemen to take up arms against that
Home Rule Parliament which all Tory
speakers, officers and rank and file alike,
evidently regard as inevitable
But the Prime Minister'S fulmi nations
and enc0uraEements were rather stronger
and more direct YESTERDAY, and remarks
were interpolated which left no doubt in
tie minds of his hearers that Lord Sails
bury had made up his mind respecting the
dissolution OF Parliament
The Tories believe that the general cleo
ton will follow Immediately after the
great convention OF Ulster 'sLovalsts,"
which is 10 be held in Belfast, June Ii,
and at which Orangemen, taking their cue
from the Prime Minister, will formally
place on record their intention to resort to
rebellion against the Queen and the I'm
perial Parliament, rather than submit to
G Dublin Parliament.
Ulster Men Not Badly Taken In.
Of course the shrewd business men and
sturdy farmers of Ulster will not be such
it is absurdly thought that, with Belfast
blusrer about civil war ringing in their ears,
timid British electors will be terrified into
voting against home Slle, in the hope
thereby of averting bloodshed, yherefrom
nav be gauged the sincerity of the Tory
make-believe in coming victory. .
Contrary TO Mr. Gladstone's wishes,
radicals have obstructed business in the |
House of Commons, this week. in a manner |
So quietly effective as TO cause Mr. Baltour |
to lose his temper frequently, and to declare |
privately that he is ''sick of the whole |
business" Mr.. Gladstone fears that the |
radicals may obstruct so clumsilv as to ere |
ate sympathy for the Government, thus |
wantonlv prevented from CARRYING on pub |
lie business, but there does not appear to |
be any substantial ground Tor this ap pre-
hension.
A welcome relief to parliamentary dull |
ness was afforded Wednesday, by the sus-
pension, for disorderly interrupting and de-
nance of the chair, of Mr.. Cunningham
Graham, the eccentric Socialist who sits for |
for the terocitv of his speeches and the |
length Of his hair
Not Unused to Such Troubles.
Graham has twice previously been in |
similar trouble-in September 1887. for |
Gaming N4oits pSCtlulll ol mouse OF
Lords contrary TO the rules of the House |
Of Commons, and in December, 1888, for de-
nouncing the late Mr.. Smith as a dishonor-
able tricksrer. He has often been danger
ouslv near suspension, for the honorable
member is built upon feminine lines and is
prone to Mysteries when lie cannot have his
own wav.
This incident has drawn attention to the
comparative decorum of Irish members DUR
ing the last few years. One almost sighs
for the lively old days when Dr. Tanner
registered aronnd the House, and when Tim
othy Healy was named and suspended for
having challenged Mr.. De Lsle, an English
Catholic Tory member, ito come outside the
House and have his neck broken" Mr.. De
Lisle, happily for Mr.. Healy, did not re-
spond to the invitation, being cold-blood-
ed Englishman-
In these dull days Nj. Healy-and for the
OF that, several other clever and ex-
citable Irishmen, to whom one is accustom-
ed 10 look for parliamentary diversion, are
aspiring TO leadership, and consider it nee
esSary to assume tine melancholy mien of
men weighed down with the cares of State.
