NEW YORK, May 7.-Smalley's special
.eablegram to the Tribune from London
says: 1t is not too much to say that with
Lord Salisbury's speech yesterday the ques-
ton Of home rule for Ireland has entered
. upon a new phase. II the protests from
Ulster may have had no effect upon Glad
stone they have made a deco impression
on Salisbury. He said yesterday: Il know
no event more important, no symptom more
menacing than the opinions which have
been lately put forward by the Ulster lead
ers, apparently with deep sincerity and
full conviction Of the responsibility they
Involve"
Morley asked what they dread.
'They dread" answers Salisbury. 'being

irreconcilable enemies. Is there a worse
fate to be given to any man?" Then he
goes on: Remember that everything the
Ulsterman holds dear will be in the hands

duce, all their commerce, all their 10uTlSh-

Advice to French Republicans.
The Pope's new brief to the French Car
diBals gives him another claim on the good
will of the French republicans and of other
republicans as we'll. He reaf1irms the doc
trines of his encyelical, which had been un-
changed; he enlOins In explicit terms the
duty Ofloyalty to the republican Government
in France, and ne maBes1t kind Of religious
obligation upon Catholics and upon the
Tebellious epise0pate most OF all. In Short
20 be a good Catholic in France you must
now be a good Republican. Seldom has the
political Intervention Of the church been
used TO better purpose.
The Anarchists in London.
Maydsy in London passed without dis
order. The only serious demonstration was
one in Hyde Park in aid Of the eight-hOur
movement There were professions with
banners and music; there were 16 coal
wagons from which speeches were made;
there were in the streets and In the park
multitudes of people; there were delega-
tiOns from abroad and letters of sympathy
from all arts Of Europe; there were
nihilists. blood-red like Stepniak. anar-
chists and socialists; there was Mrs.
Cunningham Graham representing her
husband ana Spain; there was Louise
Michel, and there was Alderman Ben
Tiilett, who lately likened Gladstone's open
mind to an open sewer. The anarchists had
the meeting to themselves. The reformers
were 5000 strong with red rOSettes and red
flags, and no Chicago Chief CT Police TO

however, to be understood that no dynamite
is now to be used in London, lest ii cease TO

General Election in England.
The general election draws inevitably
nearer and the disposition Of the RESPONSE
bic leaders of both parties to c0quet with
the socialist leaders becomes daily more
marked. Perhaps he who least likes this
kind Of c0quetry is Gladstone. His dislike
Of it has just beeu shown in most striking
way. he was asked by the Fabian Society,
some well-meaning cranks, whether he was
for the payment OF members of Parliament,
for the eight hours miners bill and for
legislative restrictions on excessive labor on
the railways. He answered all these with
one single no" BE is 81 years old, and it
is the first instance on record.
Nobody but Cunningham Graham ought
to be held responsible for Cunningham Gra-
hams performance in the House of Com
mons on Wednesday. he interrupted
Asquith, insulted the Speaker, defed the
authority OF the House and announced him
self a martyr to the sOeaistic cause, but
His eseapade had nothing to do with Social
ism. Even the socialists do not care to be
made ridiculous, so they Tenounce Graham.
His influence Is nothing, and his vanity is
indubitable.
