LONDON. May 1.-THE election for North
Hackney will take place on next Wednesday
and the Tories and Liberals are working with
on energy most remarkable. seeing that ths
fight will have to be fought over again attic
general election within month or two at the
latest. The fact is that both sidos regard this
election MS test o! the political feeling OF the
whole OF London. and there Is little doubt tint
II the Tories should retain tho scat by any
thing like their former majority the Govern
meut will be encouraged to hurry the disso!u-
ton OF Parliament by a few weeks. As the
semi official Standard says this morning:
"Thero can be but few more bye cleo
tons before the general struggle to which
tho 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 victor. as an earnest
and omen OF the general election
A. the Standard. until quite recently. had
contained almost daily editorials designed to
proyc thnt the country had no desire Tor the
dissolution OF Parliament this year. 1t may be
assumed safely that 1t has Just received an
authoritative communication from headQuar-
tcrs."
lord Salisbury's speech at the great Prim-
rose meeting yesterday confirms this belief
The speech. In tho main. was little more than
a repetition OF that delivered at Exeter q few
weeks ago. 1t contained some denunciations
OF the Irish Roman Catholics and some in
elements to Ulster Orangemen to tako up
arms against that Home Rule Parliament
which all Tory speakers. officers and rank and
file alike. evidently regard as inevitable But

agsments were rather stronger and more
direct yesterday. and remarks were inter-
polated which left no DOUBT in the minds OF
the hearers that Lord Salisbury had made up
his mind respecting tho dissolution Of Par
Lament.
The Tories believe TINT the general election
will follow Immediately after the great Con-
vention OF the Ulster "Loyallsts." which is to
DO held in Belfast on June II. and at which
the Orangemen. taking their cue from the
Prime Minister. will formally place on record
their intention to resort to rebellion against
the Queen and the imperial Parliament rather
than submit to a Dublin Parliament OF
course, the shrewd business m0R and sturdy
farmers Of Ulster will not be such fools as to
put their words into deeds. but It Is absurdly
thought that. with the Belfast bluster about
civil war ringing IN their ears. the tinid
British electors will DO terrified into voting
