LONDON, May 21.-1t is now con-
sidered certain that the dissolution of
parliament will take place about June
20. Lord Salisbury has come to the con-
clusioD, it is stated that his party is
better able to 60 into the conflict now
than it would be in the autumn, and
that the elements of weakness in the
Liberal ranks are at least as menacing
to Liberal success as they would be a
few months later. Besides, in mid
summer there is less suffering and dis
content among the laboring classes, and
less occasion, therefore, to find fault
with the party in control of the country.
The sensation of the week is the
premier's protection speech, which has
provoked the greatest CONSERVATION
among his own followers and organs.
That Lord Salisbury should have jour
neyed to Hastings and to the watering
place audience to deliver such all i'm
portant manifesto is subject of won
der on all sides. His speech, though
very guarded, and so qualified by
reservation that it really commits him
to nothing, has produced a decidedly
unfortunate effect. In Manchester.
Liverpool, Birmingham, Glasgow and
other business centers the premier is

Severely Denounced.
In view of Lord Salisbury's utter
anceS the Golden club has adopted res
olutions declaring that it will welcome
all efforts that are based upon economi-
cal, sound principles to draw closer the
relations between Great Britain and
her colonies. The club is convinced that
fiscal union of the empire by differen-
tial tariffs levied against the rest of the
world, which were advocated in certain
quarters, would be politically dangerous
and economically disastrous.
The principal item of the Tory plea
for votes will be uhyielding opposition
to Irish home rule, or, as Lord Salisbury
calls it, separation. In support of the
opposition to home rule the religious is
sue is brought into active service, and
nOn-conformiStS as we'll as churchmen
are appealed to not to surrender their
brethren of Ulster to the mercies of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy. This re-
lgiOuS issue will be drummed upon
more and more as the struggle pro-
crosses, and il few lively riots can be
got up in Ireland, the blame for which
can be laid upon the Catholics, the re-
ligiOus appeal will be greatly stimulated
and strengthened. There are indica
tionS already that the contest in the
north of Ireland will be attended by
revival of those
DeplorabIe Conflicts
which used to be common years ago,
but have been, happily, infrequent OF
late. The loyalists of Ulster, aud espe-
cialIy those that belong to Orange
lodges, are aroused almost to frenzy at
the possibility of home rule. Up to
recent period they had not considered
the subject seriously, believing that the
English people would never consent to
see separate government in Ireland.
But the loyalistS have at length been
aroused to the fact that home rule is
not only possible but by many astute
statesmen considered probable. Hence
their excitement. The Torres, while
appealing to religion in protest against
Irish separation, are using their fair
trade argument to gain the votes of the
workingmen.
Fair trade, as protection is called in
England, has leaped forward in lmpor
lance within few months. The
French tariff, following the NJ cKinley
tariff, is more than the British work.
ingmen are declined to bear. and Lord
Salisbury has struck popular chord
in promising relief. 1t is customary
for the manufacturers of the continent
to take whatever goods they have left
on hand, and tllro W them upon the En-
glsh market as sort of general auc-
ton shop, for the disposal of otherwise
unsaieable articles. These are sold off
