generally recognized, and in the light of his
public utterances it may be presumed that
the delay was due to his refusal to accept
Office without some understanding with Mr..
Gladstone in regard to the evicted tenants.
Trying to See G'adstone's Hand.
Tories are again attempting to force Glad
stones hand by publishing bogus details
respecting his home rule bill, but they do
not appear to have imposed upon anybody,
and they have sigually failed to draw out
the Grand Old Man, who has spent the week,
as far as outsiders can see, in saying kind
platitudes to Liberal excursionists, visiting
bazars aud making speeches about the cul-
tivation OF flowers, for all the world as
though he were simply country squire
instead of statesman with the cares Of an
empire on his mind.
The Tories have no heart for anything to-
day. Ever since the general election,
when "Old Charlie" won Liberal seat at
Newcastle and headed John Morley, the
second man elected, by 5000 votes, the
Tories have been gleefully declaring their
intention of throwing Morley ont on his
seeking reelection on acceptance of the
Office of Chief Secretary for Ireland. The
Liberals themselves did not like the pros
pect of having to overcome q hostile ma
iority of 8, 200, but they went to work man.
fully, and have just been rewardedby most
signal triumph, the great Tory majority
having been turned into Liberal majority
of over LOO.
Morley on . straight-Out Issue.
Morley refused all requests to modify his
views on the eight-hour question. Al
though the Tory candidate had truckled to
the workingmen irreconcilables on that
subject In disgraceful manner, he prefer
red to rest his claims to the people support
upon his last services in the cause of labor,
and he deliberately endeavored to raise the
contest to higher planes by making home
rule the chief point at issue In doing this
he quite unconsciously Edangled bait to
the Tories which they swallowed
whole with the greatest gusto.
They were absolutely confident of
success, and were only too glad to proclaim
that the election was being fought upon the
question of confidence In the Governments q
Irish policy. Now, in their sore distress
and wild rage, they are bowling threats of
petitioning against Morley's return on the
absurd ground that it was secured BY in
timidation, and are vainly endeavoring to
wriggle out of statements which they them
selves ostentatiously placed clearly upon
record.
Morley has gone to the Highlands of
Scotland for a short rest from the labors of
one of the most arduous political fights of
Tecent years. About the middle Of next
week he will proceed ON tour of inspec-
tion in ireland, and among other things he
will inquire closely into the position and
prospects Of the evicted tenants.
The Queen Reformet Woman.
The Queen will leave Osborne on Mon
day evening for Balmoral, in Scotland,
where the court will remain until Noyem-
Der. Her Majesty is becoming very serious
with advancing years, and the Highlands
season this year will be of Lenten susterity.
The gillies, gamekeepers and the like WILL
no longer be given daily rations of whisky
and beer, but will receive a money allow
ance instead, and in selection of new pipers
preference is to be given to total abstainers.
No big dances will be given at Balmoral
this year, and there will be no gathering of
the clans
Yesterday was the birthday of the late
Prince Consort, the Queens husband, which
