SOMETHING ABOUT HIS SUCCESSOR
by CABLE TO THE DISPATCH,

John Redmond has regained a seat in Par.
lament, presumably because that gentle,
man will make a pretty bad leader. Davitt
looks to the general election to wipe out
the Parnellites, and Redmond and his
friends talk confidently of annihilating ''the
Anglo-Irish party" upon the same
occasion.
For the moment law absorbs the atten-
tion and energies of both parties. Davitt
has found it necessary to vindicate his char
acter by suing the Dublin Parnellite organ,
The LsdeDcn9ent, for libel. The National
Press and the Independent are about to drag
each other into the law courts for SANDER,
libel and other wicked things, and Ireland
will enjoy or endure the strange spectacle
Of Timothy Healy and John Redmond in
their barristerS' robes wrangling and abus-
ing each other before bench of Dublin
Castle judges. A similar entertainment
will be afforded in Cork, Belfast, Water
ford and other places where rival patriots
are resorting to law.
Landlords Getting in Their Work.
The landlords are quietly profting by the
confusion in the Nationalist Ianks, gather
and enforcing payment of arrears in the old
fashion by threats of eviction. The Tories
in Dublin, who have plucked up courage
wonderfully since the disruption, announce
to-day their intention TO contest every seat
in that city and county, and last night they
actually held q public meeting in st.
SJerhen's Green division, and talked jubi-
lantlv Of the good time coming. The chief
orator, Justice Askin, gave fitting and ac-
cvraJe expression to the lofty principle on
which the Tories in Ireland and for the
matter of that in England also, will fight
the general election.
IF" he said, Eve manage to keep Glad
stone out at the next election, we shall keep
him - altogether, for at the succeeding
general election he will be 80 years of age"
Food for Tories Disgust.
Similar indecent calculations on Mr.
Gladstone's death are publicly and daily in
dulged in by Tories of the baser sort. But
the disgust with which they must read tele-
grams from Biarritz is consolatorv to indig-
naut Liberals, for the Grand Old Man con-
rinUes thoroughly to enjoy himself and to
increase in health and strength
The sudden death of the Khedive of
Egypt has caused some stir in England,
much excitement in France and consider
able apprehension in Europe generally
The French resent the presence of British
soldiers on the Nile quite as much as they
object to German occupation of Alsace and
Lorraine, and not a year is allowed TO pass
without a demand, more or less direct and
imperative, for the evacuation of Egpyt. -
1t is impossible to doubt that the accession
TO the Khedivial throne of an inexperienced
youth Will be followed by French attempt
to prevent him from falling under
exclusively British influence, which might
result in the permanent exclusion of France
from a country which at one time she
regarded almost as her own.
Fears of France at Every Court.
The direction and manner in which that
attempt will be made is not vet apparent,
but there is fear at nearly every European
court that France will try to induce the
Sultan, who is the Khedive's suzerain, TO
help in destroying or crippling British in
fuence in Egypt, and should His Majesty
Of Turkey consent serious trouble is certain

Blum Pasha's Views OF the New Khedive.
Here is what Blum Pasha said yesterday
