THE OLD HAND At WORK.

The Old Parliamentary Hand has kept the
Home Rule forces well in hand since the gen
eral elections. Ordinarily there is a reaction
against the Government in the earliest by
elections. Liberal majCritics were reduced in
several boroughs and districts during the six
months following the elections, and one seat
was lost This was at IIuddcrsiield, where the
Unonsts with the aid Of the Labor vote, over
came a majority of over 200. A fortnight ago
this loss was offset by a Liberal victory at
Walsall This was followed by another at
IIexham, where there was gain Of over 300
votes. Yesterday the Liberals rccapturcd
Cirenccstcr after a most determined struggle,
so that in division Mr.. Gladstone can now
count on majority larger by four votes than
when the general elections were completed.
An election was also held yesterday in Gates
head. where the Liberal majority was inc' cased
nearly 600. Moreover in all the divisions in
Parliament the Governments ma orltics were
large, ranging from 1871 to 40. Yesterday S
contests marked virtually the first blood
since the intrc duction of the Iome-Rule bill.
Mr. Gladstone has also succeeded in con-
ciliating one of the most unmanageable groups
of supporters by the introduction of Welsh
Observation-Disclosures Uin' "hiCH Has oecI Icau ioi
the first time and will have precedence in legs-
lation after the Home Rule bill. The Welsh
Liberals, under the leadership Of Mr.. George,
have shown signs of insuboldnation and have
united in caucus 20 force their measure upon
tho Governments attention. Mr.. Asquth's
bill, while not a drastic measure, is practical
step in the direction of the disendowment and
Giscstablishment of the English Church in a
section of the United Kingdom where barely
fourth of the population is in sympathy with
il. While Scotch disestablishment will be de-
ferred by il, the order of procedure is natural.
These measures are complex and intricate. and
may be more conveniently and ntelligently
taken up inversey in the order OF importance.

THE rEruBLIcAY cArcrs AT Albany


The recent caucus of the Republican mem
bcrs Of the Assembly can scarcely fail 10 be
attended By results bcncli ial to the people, and
therefore 10 our patty. These members came
together AT the suggestion Of their capable AMI
Trustworthy leader, Mr.. MaIby, u take their
bearings in view OF the situation which con-
fronts them. 1t is a peculiar situation. The
death of Senator llagan has served to render
the Democrats Of the Senate harmless for evil
for the present-even if they all acted to-
gether, something which they do not seem in
clined TO do The Democrats OF the Assembly
are also torn by disSensons. In the crcum-
stances, therefore, if the Republicans Of the
minority have a true conception Of their duty
and are vigilant and united at all points in
discharglng it. they can become positive force
for good-they may compass the defeat of the
most fragrant of the political jobs of the session.
1t is great opportunity. Let it be greatly
improved.
The worst Of these jobs is the measure Gem
polling all the voters OF the country districts
personally to register or else pay the penalty
of Acknowledgement. TIE TRIBUNE mas al
ready expressed itself at length in reference to
this measure, which has only one purpose, and
that an utterly vicious one. The aim of the
Democratic bosses who drew il mp is to keep
as many farmers as possible at home on r,gis-
tration day, 50 that they shall lose their right
to vote OH Election Day. There is no popular
demand for any such change in our electoral

No ineligible motive is apparent for the

San Francisco yesterday. His assaillnt had

Governor Wcits'S course regarding the facing
bills is hard to understand. If he were really
opposed to them. it seems incredible that he
should have returned them unapprovCd so soon,
for this has given the advocates of the bills
an opportunity to pass them over the veto,
while the friends of law and order have had
no chance TO protest against these infamous
measures The Assembly passed the bills a
